~Laurel~He didn't flinch. More like my slap didn't do anything to him. "Are you done?"Bastard son of a bitch. "Where's Mira? Where's Andre? Where the fuck are you keeping them?!""The things I'd want to do to you, Laurel Hyde." He said slowly, moving closer to me as I took steps backwards."I don't care about the things you wanna do to me but if you touch Mira or even Andre---""You wouldn't be able to do anything."He was right. But nevertheless, I'll still have to make believe that I was stronger than the Laurel he used to know. "I'll charge you for kidnapping and attempted murder. Do you really think you can win me in court?"That regular smirk was hovering on his lips again. "I don't need to go to a court, to win you. You see, Laurel, I've already won." The smirk broadened.Just then in a twinkle of an eye, I moved closer to one of his men and flung his gun from him.I shot in the air and lifted the gun and pointed it at Kurt."Do you really think you have the guts to kill me?'
~Laurel~Thank you, Leon." I said as Leon helped me down from my car which was parked in the garage of K-Corps.I took off my sunglasses and handed it over to him. As usual, the grumpy men were standing in front of the entrance gate of the building. But it wasn't going to happen today. I would not let them intimidate me like their boss. Like it or not, I was richer than every single staff in the building combined and I was going to show it to them. I was going to be, Laurel Hyde. The sassy and classy Laurel Hyde.As soon as they saw me coming, they blocked the entrance. I smiled. "Mick." I said to the leader of the men. "Move out of my way.""Ho--how did you know my name?""Move out will you?"Another pulled out an intercom."Bo--""If you still wanna keep your job, I suggest you put that thing back into his place." When he frowned his grumpy face, I smirked. "You see your boss and I have history together. And I believe you know me, so are you going to move out of my way or not?"~It
~Laurel~As soon as I cut the ribbons, claps and cheers gracefully filled the air."Congratulations Laurel!" Kaitlyn screamed in excitement as she lunged herself on me."Congrats, best friend." Liam said, as soon as Kaitlyn let go, coming round to pull me into a hug. I hugged him and then I hugged Wesley who wouldn't stop smiling at me."I'm proud of you.""Thanks." I said and quickly let go of him when I saw my mother."My baby!" She said and embraced me. "I'm proud of you. So so proud.""Thanks mom. I'm so happy I made all of you so proud.""You've always made me so proud, Laurel. Always."I greeted Liam's parents who also congratulated me and just then I saw Wesley's parents walking towards me. I wanted to save them the walk and so I got to them first."Congrats, Laurel." Damon Cooper said smilingly, as I shook hands with him.Beatrice Cooper, Wesley's mom hugged me. She was also like a mother to me. "Diamond collections? That's huge. Welcome to the team, Laurel.""Thanks Aunt Bett
~Laurel~After my meeting with Kurt, I traveled to Seattle for a photoshoot. On my way back, I dropped by mom's and apologized for lying to her. Then I stopped by Zach Norman's. It was obvious he was avoiding me because he didn't only blocked my number, he completely shut me out and wherever I go to find him, I'll be told he traveled for a business meeting. Even though the Zach I knew hated business trips.My car pulled off in the compound of Zach's mother. He had mistakenly told me where his mother lived, three years ago when we went out together so I decided to try my luck. I wanted to know the reason why he did what he did. I wanted to know if Kurt blackmailed him or did anything to him that made him betray me and our friendship.I knocked twice on the door but on the third knock, the door sprung open and reveled a woman in her mid-sixties. "Hello, how may I help you?""Is Zach home? I really need to speak with him."Her face beamed with a smile. A smile? Right. It was that smile
~Laurel~"Get the hell away from me!" I yelled and yelped away from him, backing off till I hit my back against the wall.He threw the mask on the floor. "Yo--you're the anonymous donor?"He smirked. "What do you think?"He was the anonymous donor. Only Kurt would sit like a deserted and lonely child when he actually had everything that would make people fly around him like flies."What are you doing here? How on earth did you find me? It's you, isn't it? You're the one following me around. What do you want Kurt?""You.""What?""It's simple, Laurel. You." He moved closer but I changed location and stepped away from him. What exactly was this man saying? What on earth is wrong with him?"Listen here, I don't know what exactly is wrong with you. You didn't only threw me out of LAGS, insulted me, you took Mira away from me and now you're talking insane things?!" I breathe out, running my hand through my hair. "Just get the fuck out. I need Jason right now.""You mean your body guard?"I
~~~~~~~Kurt~~~~~~~~"Sir she's here."The doors opened and Bella walked in. She was beautiful to everyone but to me she was ugly. I didn't compliment a woman or acknowledge their beauty, I never did. No matter how close they were to me.Bella Daniels has been my therapist since I was 17. She was related to my mom in some way or the other but that didn't matter to me. She was British, rich, 43, lived a life of luxury and was married to an american business tycoon. She was the closest person to me before and after my mom died but I had her replaced with my long time nanny, Camilla Wilson."Kurt." She called out my name in a seductive manner. "Anger issues again?""No." I tapped on my clenched jaw. "What are you doing here?""Just came to check up on you. Had lunch yet?"I got up and towered over her. "I asked you a question.""And I gave you an answer.""Bella you're not being truthful here.""Where's she?""Where's who?""Your daughter?"I dug my hands into my pockets. "Whoever I have
~~Laurel~~It was eight in the evening so we decided to bake a fun cake. I had just gotten back from Vegas and Mia insisted that she wanted to bake a cake for me so I said I'll help her out. Pulling on a big hoodie over the pair of panties I was wearing, I pulled my hair up in a bun then put on a pair of flip-flops before walking out of my room to help Mia out in the kitchen.When I got there, she was already mixing the flour in a bowl so I stood beside her and watched as she kept on stirring the contents in a bowl with a mixer."You're so good at thi---" We heard the doorbell ring.She passed the bowl to me. "I'll get the door. You take care of this."W--what?Me?Take care of this?I stared at the bowl when Mia suddenly ran back inside."Lau-rel. Yo--you might wanna come see who's here."My heart started beating rapidly. And slowly, slowly, I walked to the door and I nearly fainted when I saw him."What are you doing here?"Kurt leaned on the door frame. "Aren't you going to invite
~Laurel~"So we'll have the designs out by Tuesday?" "Out and ready.""Good." I handed the files back to Julia. "We'll have the bikini launch ready by next week or so. You may take your leave." I said, turning to face my computer."Um, no filming or photoshooting this week?"I raised my gaze and gave her a cold glare. "Get the hell out of my office, Juliet.""Ye-yes ma'am." She said and walked out of my office.The door opened and her head poked in first. "Someone's here to see you.""Who?"The door opened and Jason walked in. "Hey babe." "Hey.""You're busy?" He asked as he moved closer to me.I raised my brows in a questioning way and rolled my eyes at him. "When am I not?"He hoisted me up from my seat and covered my mouth with his. "I missed you. Like a lot." He said and placed me on my desk.I circled my arms around his neck. "Even though we talked last night?""That was just talk. I--I missed touching you." He said trailing his hand up to cup one of my breasts.I gasped when h
