Whenever something happened in the Larson family. The first person who called a meeting was the lady of the house
The woman who ruled with an iron fist. No one dared to defy her rules. Whenever she got angry everyone got burned"Why aren't they vacating the building""W-well…lady Laura…we tried..we gave out notices to everyone, "the man sitting opposite his boss said nervously. His heart thumped painfully as he tried to keep calm. Peeking up, his knees turned weak at the sight of his boss. For a 40 years old women. She didn't look her age. Beauty with brains and a thirst for success. A perfect blend for a troublesome womanDressed in a white suit, a skirt reaching above her knees, and a coat with a white shirt inside. Rob had to say. His boss was extremely beautiful. Despite her angry resting face. She was a goddess. A gorgeous heart shaped the face of a model despite her age. Her voice was low and calm. She was every man's dream. Those beautiful hazel eyes drew everyone in. To the public, she was given horrible names. However, he didn't find anything wrong with his boss. Well except for her hot temper. Holding his cheek dramatically, Robert shook his head not wanting to say anything offensive"I made this clear. I asked everyone to vacate those houses in a month!" the lady snapped, despite how calm she looked. Her sharp eyes could scare anyone. No matter how many years Robert had stayed working for Ms Laura. He still felt intimidated by her"I did…I asked them to leave but…one of them is stubborn"Rob said showing his boss all the notices he gave. Unfortunately, one family was stubborn and didn't want to vacate the house. Laura's eyes narrowed. Taking notice, her eyes fixed on the words writtenShe trusted her people to do the needful, she specifically bought that kand so she could demolish and build something beneficial to her. "If…they refuse to vacate…then drag them out forcefully …" Laura said tossing the note back to his assistant and secretary. Rob swallowed hard. Sweat dripped from his forehead. He made it clear. He warned them to adhere to the rules. Adjusting his specs hanging on his nose. Rob waited for his boss to finish"Bulldoze them out…destroy the house and make sure…you beat up whoever tries to stop you," Laura said word by word. Her voice was low and lethal. Rob nodded knowing full well his boss met what she said. Her expression wasn't so friendly"And oh…if anyone tries to act smart…get them arrested right away" she added, this time smiling. Rob knew that sinister smile more than anyone. His lady was something else. A woman who made threats with a warm smile."Yes, my lady…and about…well"Rob nodded, however, there was something else. Handing Laura a black file. Robert waited for his boss to go through. With vivid eyes, Laura glanced at Rob before turning to the file"It's urgent that you take a look…I chose to let you know before the board does"Rob added professionally, with each turn of the page. Laura's blood boiled. Her hands gripping the paper delicately her eyes darted Around"Why am I finding out about this now?"Laura was unhappy. She didn't expect this to happen. Robert tried to speak, think of any excuse however his tongue was tied. How was he to say anything when it was Lady Laura's family involved"I-i thought…well…""Out!"Laura's angry voice echoed throughout the study room. Her hand slammed on the table making Robert fall to his knees. Bowing his head and started pleading"Please, Lady Laura…I didn't have the…I thought…please forgive"Rob pleaded for her job. He made a mistake. His boss never mixed business with personal affairs. He was wrong not to inform his boss when something serious happened"Get out!"Laura ordered and the door burst open. Two large men in Black suits walked in. Rob knew he overstepped his boundaries"Take him away" Laura ordered and the two men nodded and dragged Rob out of the office. The door closed, and Laura's eyes turned dark. She felt hot. Her body temperature was getting higher and there was nothing to cool her off. Stripping off her coat. Laura tossed it aside. Kicking off her shoes, she rose from the chair pushing it backwardsBurying her face in her palms, she didn't know what to do with her greedy family. From her mother to her 30 years old brother and 24 years old sister. These three had gone too far"Not again" she muttered, reaching for her phone. This was getting out of hand. She just came back home after a long business trip to another country. Instead of resting,g, she was going to make a decision"Lawyer Gael…my house now, "Laura said calmly as soon as her lawyer answered the call. She had no choice but to do this. Four days ago she left the country for something important and gave orders to the head servant. The woman she appointed to oversee the house knowing the people she kept might turn it into a warzone, asked the people close to her to watch her family closely knowing they would do something bizarre in her absence and yes, they went ahead and did more harm than good. Slamming the phone back on the table. Laura knew what she had to do to stop all the unnecessary drama.Getting out of the study room, Laura decided to take a quick shower before the lawyer arrived. In the meantime, she would wait for Rob to deal with the problem with the houses. She needed to start her project of building something she always wantedThe resident she chose was a good one. The location was better. She already awarded the contract to a well-known construction company to do the work thoroughly. However with the reports she received. She was likely to kill someone if they dared cross her. If tomorrow passed and the family still refused to vacate. Then she would have no choice but get all of them arrested and jailed for life"How dare they?" she muttered and kicked off her skirt and wrapped a towel around her body. Flipping her hair off her back and tied it in a bun. She prepared to take a hot bubble bath and soothe her aching body."Mom…you don't have to worry…I'll fix this"Nathan coaxed his mother, he didn't have to hide such a thing from her. It turned out she knew about this"Son…we can't do anything…sooner or later we have to leave from here," his mom said calmly, and Nathan went silent. He very well knew how much the house meant to his momShe raised her children in the very same house. So much happened and now she was being forced to leave,"Please Nate…don't go out causing trouble" she added, placing her hand on his shoulder. Nathan had his back turned away however he felt his mother's warmth. Turning around, Nathan took his mom's hand. She smiled at him. Of course, she was good at hiding her emotions no matter how hurt she was"Mom…we can't just leave…even if others give in…I won't," he said, giving nothing away. This was important. After the incident with his father. His mom had been like this, calm. Someone would say way too calmly. She never showed any weakness which hurt him."She's powerful…as it is
Laura Had never seen such aggression from a man. Certainly not in her presence. Such disrespect from a random good-for-nothing little boy"Stop him now!"The d men around who couldn't fight him off shouted for the countless security guards who rushed in to stop the man"You think I'm scared of a witch like you!"The man growled snapping the dangerous whip in his hand like it were nothing..Laura retreated to a corner, shielding her face with her hands "Today. I show you not to toy with people!"Nathan snarled, striking the flexible line on the table hard. The men and women scattered. The black hunting whip combined had a stock with a firm flexible lash. Deadly at best. With each stroke on the table, the men shivered. was he crazy as to beat a woman?How crazy!The monstrous young man taking predatory steps toward their boss"We'll see bitch…how dare you try to take our homes!"Nathan roared. His body hitched muscularly. Laura swallowed hard. Her back connected with the cold wall, and a s
Nathan's eyes narrowed, and his expression darkened. He presumed it was another dayUnlike most times. Carl didn't dare release him. He stayed in the cell the entire night. Who knew what his family was going through in his absenceHe didn't trust those people one bit"T-tell me…how is Mom…did something happen…tell me, "Nathan said calmly, gripping the metal bars tightly. He was desperate to know. Carl was hesitant to say anything which bothered him greatly"You should ask forgiveness the minute lady Laura steps her feet here, "Carl remarked, glancing up at Nathan. The only way for him to know if his family was okay… was by getting out"That's not my concern damn it…how is Mom…my sisters …did…"Nathan was desperate to know how his mom was doing."She's not well… your mom and your sisters…came last night," Carl said lowering his gaze, Nathan's eyes widened. His heart raced"Then does…""It's all over the news okay…I warned you to mind whom you pick a fight with…Lady Laura pressed charges
"You dare!"Nathan growled and struggled to free his hands. His eyes shot with venom seeing how the woman was getting on his nerves. Seeing this Laura smirked."Flog him… break his bones…make sure he bleeds to death…if not then…all of you will suffer?" like a queen Laura gave her final word. Carl nodded and took the whip himself. Standing before a raging Nathan. He knew this was for the best...lady Laura had the final sayNathan didn't argue. His sharp eyes fixed on Laura sitting on the chair again. If looks could kill then Carl was certain the lady would have died. Nathan had never laid his hands on a woman beforeWho knew what he was thinking when he nearly killed LauraWith each strike, the pain burned in his mind before it was even over. Nathan stood still. His hands restrained. The sound each time it landed on his back felt like the plank was being hit against the wall. Tearing across his back as blood trickled downNathan stayed put, his eyes turning red with each strike. Carl st
"What! Laura, are you insane!" As expected her family was shocked to hear what she had to say. Laura sat elegantly with her eyes fixed on her laptop screen. Her dear mother, little sister, and little brother stood before her. Shocked with the latest news she just gave them"Sis… what's all this''Jeremy, her 30 years old brother said giving her a suspicious look. Laura exhaled heavily and shoved the laptop off her lap. "You can't be serious Laura… marriage? It sounds ridiculous" this time it was her little sister Camila who said. Laura scanned her family from head to toe. The only one missing was Trent. Her dear uncle"We talked about this… are you going to bring another man here… oh goodness wake up Laura!" her mother said dramatically. Laura didn't mind as she listened to their opinions. She just told them about her soon-to-be wedding. Yes, she was getting a husband for herself. Smiling at them Laura picked up a glass of juice and took a sip. "Since when did your opinion matter?"
"Hold still damn it"Carl snarled when Nathan didn't sit still but kept moving and throwing tantrums. Of course, Nathan was bound to be angryThe wounds on his back were nothing compared to what lady Laura did. She trampled over his dignity and pride as a man"That witch is asking for it… don't blame me later" if she wanted, she could ruin the world for all she cared. "Stop it okay… this is nothing compared to what she can do… Nate for once stop being stubborn"Carl tried to reason with Nathan. He was as stubborn as hell. "Do you think I'm a toy… what sort of rubbish, if you are her lap dog I'm not"Nathan snapped, he hated that woman and after what she said to him. His hatred for her was even stronger"Is this about the marriage proposal… Why not agree to it? "Carl said and patched up Nathan's back? He would be in pain for a few days. The wounds were deep however Nathan didn't seem to mind"Are you insane… do I look desperate"Nathan now knew Carl was a confused man. How could he say s
"Mom… you don't have to do this okay?"Nathan said, scratching the back of his head. It was another day. He didn't sleep as lovely as he normally did and it was all thanks to lady Laura"I would have loved to give it to her myself… unfortunately the doctor said I need to rest, "his mom said innocently. Nathan was trapped. He woke up early so he could do some work. But now his mom was giving him things to do"She's not a good woman… Why did you trouble yourself… keep this food and flowers here" Nathan said and prepared to leave when his mom stopped him. Turning around Nathan was helpless"Nate… lady Laura is a good woman… she pardoned us… she didn't take our home okay," his mom said cheerfully. Nathan hated to say no to her. However, he was in a hurry to meet one of his friends. The day was crispy. After so much drama, he wanted to loosen up"I don't think so… mom just don't ask me this"Nathan said running his fingers in his hair. His mom was asking him to take the special food she prep
"Why do I feel like… you are that witch…who doesn't want young men to live?"Nathan asked sarcastically, Laura scoffed and shoved a black file at him. Nathan scanned it with vivid eyes. How did he get himself in such a messOf all men in the world, the witch targeted him"Look here… the scene with Harris and Carter… have you forgotten?"Laura said, getting up from her chair. Crossing his legs, Nathan picked up the file "they want to sue you… make you rot in prison" Laura added and half sat on the desk. Nathan flipped the pages from the fail. His eyes narrowed suspiciously"I saved you, Nathan… I shut those old men up with just the snap of my fingers" Laura said, snapping her fingers. Nathan glanced up and met with the lady's mocking gaze. Shifting from side to side. Laura smirked pridefully"Is this how you trap all men… everyone knows what you do… marry men they die… or are you bored of old men and want fresh blood? "Nathan said, glaring at her. Laura let out a mocking chuckle and clim
