I dialed her number again, and this time she answered. "Thank God," I muttered, feeling relieved."How are you, Mum?" I asked."Oh, my daughter, I am fine," she replied, and I closed my eyes, taking a breath of relief."I hope you haven't been having any troubles at all?" I inquired."Not at all, Laura," she replied. "Has someone come to see me? Are you finally ready to settle down?" she teased."Oh, come off it, Mum. You know I recently broke up with Santos, so it will take a while for me to find someone.""That's true," she sighed. "When are you coming to visit me?""I am quite busy at the moment, Mum, but I will come as soon as I can, hopefully before the year ends," I assured her. She fell silent for a moment before responding."That's fine, Laura. Just don't let it take too long. I miss you.""I miss you too, Mum.""Okay, bye," she said before hanging up the call. Normally, I made sure to visit my mum at least three times every year, but this year, I had only gone to see her once

Laura's POVI quickly dialed my emergency contact, Nicholas, whom I had added just a few days ago."What are you doing here?" I asked, my voice filled with confusion."Shouldn't you be with your girlfriend?" Mark looked at me with a wicked grin. "It seems you haven't quite figured out what's going on here.""Well, why don't you enlighten me?" I demanded. "Tell me why you're in my room. Are you planning to rape me? Just know that I'll scream before you can do anything." I glared at him with anger, shifting from shock to frustration when I realized Mark was playing a prank on me. He ignored my words, walked straight to the door, and locked it."What are you doing, Mark? Get out of here this instant!" I snapped. He retrieved a shiny object from his back pocket—a knife. My body immediately froze in fear."If you even raise your voice or attempt to cause a scene, I will ensure you experience a painful death. Do you understand?" Mark's words sent shivers down my spine.That's when it hit me

Sonia sneezed, and her eyes shot open. Startled, she quickly sat up from the bed."Laura, it's Mark. Mark is the serial killer," she said, panic evident in her voice."I know, Sonia. We caught him," I reassured her. She studied me carefully, scanning my body before embracing me tightly."I'm relieved you're safe. So relieved," she said, holding back a sob. "He threatened to kill you. I begged him not to, but he silenced me when I tried to make a scene." She was in a state of panic. "I... I did everything I could to get your attention. I thought you were in the next room. Did you hear? Is that how you escaped?""No, I was downstairs. When I went up, he was already in my room, wielding a knife, attempting to kill me," Nicholas interjected, his anger palpable. He mumbled some words, likely discussing his plans to confront Mark.Sonia struggled to catch her breath, her voice shaky. "I should have known. How could I not have realized he was the serial killer?" She looked at me, seemingly s

"Oh i never left, Wilson and I had a lot to discuss", he looked carefully at me from head to toe, "besides, after what happened, i couldn't bear letting you stay alone in a place as open as this"."I am not alone, you have two body guards stationed at the door, Sonia is here too"He scoofed,"That is not enough protection, none of them can protect you the way i can", he said, making something stir inside me. He had always been good with words. It was impossible to be smitten by his charms."How are you feeling now?", he asked."A whole lot better", i replied trying to sit up."Good, let's get you home then". I stood up from the bed not requiring assistance at all. The pain from the cut had completely disappeared. I felt reenergized. We stepped outside the ward, Whispers seemed to follow us, like a gentle breeze carrying snippets of curiosity and speculation. People, mostly ladies glanced in our direction, their eyes lingering on Nicholas, undoubtedly captivated by his charm and magnet

I rushed out of Sonia's room and quickly made my way upstairs to Nicholas's room. I knocked on the door with urgency, hoping he would be able to help."Nicholas! Nicholas!" I called out. He opened the door, shirtless, and I couldn't help but feel a bit flustered."What's the matter, Laura?" he asked, a confused expression on his face."I... I can't find Sonia. She's not in her room," I stuttered, my voice filled with worry."What do you mean?" he questioned."She's missing," I cried."How is that possible? We saw her go upstairs, and she never came back down. Hold on, I'm coming," Nicholas responded. He went back inside his room and quickly put on a shirt. With determined strides, he headed downstairs, and I followed closely behind. He opened Sonia's room and searched every corner, just as I had done earlier, but she was nowhere to be found. He stepped out of the room and entered mine. And there she was, lying on the bed. A sigh of relief escaped me."You mean you didn't bother to che

"If Mark confesses and tells you all you need to know," she stared at me, waiting for my reaction, "can you please forgive him and grant him a place in your gang?" Her words caught me off guard. I had anticipated her request to be different, but what she asked for was far more challenging.Taking a glass of water, I paused to gather my thoughts before replying, "I can't make any promises, Sonia. Let's see how things unfold first." She nodded in understanding. Without knowing which Mafia organization I was dealing with, I couldn't grant her request right away. I needed to identify the group Mark was involved with in order to determine the best course of action.After finishing my meal, I left the secret hideout accompanied by my driver and two guards. Carlos and some of my men were already waiting for me in the basement where Mark was being held.******A few minutes later, I arrived at the basement. Memories of the events that had transpired there a few weeks ago flooded my mind. It h

I couldn't comprehend what Laura could have done to provoke a man as powerful as Juarez. I waited patiently as Mark gathered enough strength to speak."It's not Laura's fault. She has to pay the price for her father's sins." I was utterly confused."Pay the price for her father's sins?" I asked."Yes, her father wronged my boss.""What could Laura's late father have done to make someone like Juarez demand his daughter pay with her life?"Mark weakly looked up at me, a look of confusion on his face."Sorry, did you say 'late father'?" he asked. Of course, I said "late father." Laura had mentioned that she lost her dad a long time ago and only had her mother, who currently lives in a small town. Which town was that? Oh, I can't remember. So why was Mark asking me if I had indeed said "late father"?I stared at him and replied, "Yes, that's what I said.""Laura's father is not dead," he coughed again, and blood followed."That's it. Get the cars ready. We need to leave for the hospital i

Laura's POVWhat had he just said? Did I hear him correctly?"Pl... Please come again," I stuttered.He looked at me, concern etched on his face."Your father is not dead, Laura," he replied. I couldn't believe it."A joke can only go so far. This is not the kind of matter to joke about, Nicholas," I said sternly."I wish it were a joke too, Laura. But Mark didn't have any reason to lie to me. I saw honesty in his eyes," he calmly responded."How is Mark? Where is Mark?" Sonia, who had been silent, spoke up.Nicholas heaved a sigh. I knew whatever he was about to say wasn't going to be good. It must not have been easy extracting information from Mark, even though the information was as absurd as what I had just heard."Mark is at the hospital. He sustained some injuries, but he will be fine," Sonia heaved a sigh of relief. Hearing that Mark would be fine was all she needed to calm down. I'm pretty sure she also understood the consequences of what Mark did and how impossible it would b
