Laura wanted to find out if what Nathan said was the truth. She had been friends with Larissa for a very long time. Why would she wish him bad, to the extent of planting harmful drugs in place of her sleeping pills? They reached the bar where they decided to have a few drinksThe night was young, she had been confined inside for a long time. As Nathan said, she deserved a little break from her work. Although it was hard to do so. Laura had no choice but to trust Nathan“Do you remember the first time we decided to sneak out at night and attend a wild party at a club,” Larissa said with laughter once they settled down. Instead of going to the VIP, they decided to sit at the bar counter that way they could enjoy the night more“Here you are,” the bartender Laura found cute and brought their drinks, he was tall and handsome with a baby first. One would say he wasn't fit to be a bartender. Most bartenders were rough, well-built and had an aggressive facial appearance; however, this one ha
Laura fought to get away from the men who managed to kick down the restroom door, breaking the mirrors nearby. In an attempt to flee, she fell on the glass pieces, suffering multiple injuries“She's a fucking tough one, get her,” one of the men yelled angrily when Laura kicked him between his legs and made a run for it. She didn't even know where she was going. Her arms were bleeding, but she managed to use the back door of the bar to get out. After countless attempts to get out. The bar turned out to have countless rooms. She couldn't hide in anyone of themThe steady pound of her footsteps echoed into her ears. Laura felt a bead of sweat roll down her forehead and splatter to her chin. The soles of my shoes hit the ground, she wasn’t giving up. Laura wanted to run to the front entrance of the bar, “I… I should…should find Larissa…what if something happened to her,” Laura muttered breathlessly as she came to a sudden halt. Her heart thumped loudly as she wiped the sweat from her for
Nathan was hesitant to see Laura. After what the doctor told him. He didn't know how to face her again. “Here sir, take these,” the nurse's voice brought him back to his senses. He took the tablets she was giving him and popped them in his mouth and gulped down some water“I'll have the doctor prescribe some medicines for you later on,” the nurse said, reminding Nathan, and he nodded. She was a little hesitant to go, she glanced back at her patient and wondered why he was so strange. He would rather not be treated, but his friend had to force him to spend two days in the hospital to recover. The door closed and Nathan stared at his hands, they were bandaged. His chest area up to his waist was bandaged as well.Folding his hands into fists, Nathan covered his face, it was his fault. Laura was hurt and it was his fault. He should have taken care of her moreHe didn't do anything despite knowing who the culprit was. Laura was delicate despite being a strong woman. Deep down, she was fig
It was late at night, and Patricia made sure Laura had everything she needed. Although she would rather not eat anything “Sis, whatever you need, we are here…just say the word,” Camila said, caressing Laura's hand, her sister sitting in bed forcing herself to work. Even if her sister married Nathan, Camila felt the child she was expecting was innocent. She would have loved to have a nephew or niece. “Maybe I can ask Patty to prepare some warm oatmeal…would you like that?” Camila added with a smile, despite how hard she tried to talk to her sister. She didn't seem to want anything “No, for now…leave me alone” Laura whispered, she was tired and just needed some sleep. Even so, she had a lot of work to look at“Madam, do you need anything?” Patty chimed in as well, and Camila nodded in agreement. She wanted to avoid leaving her boss alone. After turning the heater on. The night was rather cold and patty felt her boss required some warmth “I don't need anything…both of you leave fro
Laura had a blank expression as she gave orders to Robert and Alejandro. The two men exchanged questionable glances. Especially Alejandro, who was both Larson's family lawyer and the company. He knew how much Laura had worked her entire life.“I want everything in order…any mistake made, you'll be fired,” Laura remarked with authority, Robert wanted to protest but kept quiet. Alejandro was caught in a predicament. He didn't know what to do or how to handle the matter. It seemed his boss was angry“Everything will be done accordingly, rest assured,” Alejandro agreed with a bow. Laura didn't answer him, “And yes, schedule a meeting with Jared as well as Bernardo… tell them it's urgent,” Laura added and again Robert was confused. Nathan had everything under control. The company was regaining its good reputation back. So, why was lady Laura making such drastic decisions, “Jared is up to no good. He claims to want a stable relationship with Larson Enterprise ls…but it's for his selfish
Elizabeth and Claire were at each other's neck, the two women had always been hostile toward each other. And letting their children get married was the biggest thing they ever made.With no one in the living room to interrupt them. Claire and Elizabeth were free to express their hatred towards each other."Don't act like a saint Claire… we all know… you are not as innocent as you seem," Elizabeth remarked disdainfully, he was aware of Claire's dirty secrets, she appeared like a Saint and a wonderful mother. When in reality she wasn't. Claire on the other hand wasn't bothered."Your daughter is hurt Elizabeth, aren't you ashamed…even if you hate my son so much…take care of your daughter, " Claire said sincerely, she was disappointed in Elizabeth. Even if Laura was expecting a child from Nathan. Elizabeth didn't have to treat her with so much disdain"You have no right to tell me what to do…I only let you here for the sake of it Claire…I'll have the guards throw you out!" Elizabeth lash
“I'm the boss, you better show some respect,” Laura said cheekily and crossed her leg over the other elegantly. She was irritated with Nathan after what he did.“Lady, have you forgotten I'm the boss…and your husband," Nathan grinned and slowly stripped off his coat and carefully placed it on the couch, and proceeded to Laura sitting behind the desk.“Husband my foot…mom was right, you can't take care of me,” she scoffed disdainfully, she agreed with Nathan's mom for scolding her son. He didn't work hard to protect his wife. Nathan pouted and showed her the place. Laura frowned as her eyes darted around her office, and Nathan winked at her playfully and showed her some cards. She tossed them away once she read the seductive content.“What's this huh…” Laura frowned at Nathan flirting with her, of course, Nathan knew what he was doing. It had been a while since he smiled at Laura; hence he filled her office with all sorts of exotic flowers. Laura didn't stop blushing. “My lady, all t
“Boy, I have my reasons for calling you here,” Bernardo stated while getting up as soon as Larissa and Claire left. Nathan was still in a daze as he attempted to help Bernardo to his feet, but he stopped him before he could.“I'm fine now,” Bernardo said as he balanced on his feet. Unlike before, he didn't feel his legs go numb while standing, and his chest didn't tighten.He felt refreshed and more energetic. There was no pain or failure to breathe. Nathan scanned the man before him and saw improvement. He looked healthy.“Seems mom worked wonders…old man, you look much better,” Nathan remarked with satisfaction and Bernardo let out a sarcastic scoff and walked away heading to bookshelves near the sitting area.“Your mother is an angel, too bad she can't save other people," Bernardo said while taking out some files from the shelves. Nathan crossed his arms over his chest and stared at Bernardo with suspicion in his eyes.“Don't even try it, it's not good to look at your friend's wi
