*Anne's Point Of View*
"I'm sorry I can't," Oliver spat out and everyone gasped including me.
"What? Why?" I asked as tears clouded my eyes.
He can't be possible doing this to me, not after what I've been through for him.
"I can't explain. It's-"
"Just stop! Oliver please stop! I thought you loved me " I paused as tears flowed down my cheeks.
"Just let me explain!" He shouted but I ignored him.
"I thought you cared but I guess it was just fake!" I yelled with much sadness.
Mom just looked at me, her face blanked.
"Oh goodness, let me talk. Anne I will never marry you....until I properly court you," he said and my face litted up.
"We have feelings for each other and I want it to grow more outside marriage. I want to know more about you and learn how to make you happy!" He beamed and the crowd busted into cheers and I grinned, internally blushing.
"Is that too much?" He asked frowning and I laughed.
"N
*Nelly Point Of View*"Nelly. Can you please come with me?" Mr Howard asked.Oh no! Am I in trouble? Did miss Malika report me or something? This is bad, definitely bad!"Yes sir," I replied nervously. Gosh, what's in store for me.He led me inside the house towards.....his office? What did I do?"Take a sit," he offered and I nodded, carefully sitting on a white chair. It's comfy, I may say."It has come to my notice that you have some relatives," he stated and I almost gasped. Who told him that."Yes sir, I do," I replied. I'm not really feeling like saying anything else."You might want to know who told me. Don't worry, it was Laura." Laura? How could she!"I did some research in their background," he said as he brought out some files and I simply stared at him."As much I would love to share it with you at this time I can't. I want you to come with me after you take sometime to rest. Maybe a shower or a
*Luke's Point Of View*"Hey. Sorry for barging," I chirped as I slowly opened the door to Sandra's room."It's alright!" She smiled. "And you can come in.""Thanks," I closed the door behind me.I stood before her and I was so nervous. How will I say this, dad went out today so let's go put too....No I think that's awful. What will I say, what will I do."Um, Luke?" I snapped out of my thoughts."I'm sorry, I just.... Um, I was meaning to tel.....ask you something," my hand flew to the back of my neck nervously."Okay. I'm listening," she acted calm. I wish I could be that calm. Be a man, Luke!"Why don't we.... I was thinking about going out on our first date. Later in the day, when you are ready. What do you think?" I asked. That sounded great!"Sure, that's splendid," she curled her toes shyly and I chuckled. Look who's nervous now."I will get ready now," she informed and I nodded, slowly getting out o
*Laura's Point Of View*I woke up quiet early this morning. I sprang up from bed and went with my routine.I went to school as usually, nothing new there.I met my friends half way to the classroom."It's so unusual that you all are early today," I crossed my arms."Don't call it unusual!" Nelly said, trying her best not to smile but she failed woefully."Whatever. Anyway, when are you going to move into your uncle's house?" I asked and she shrugged."Today I guess. I want to convince them to also let Harper and Emma live with me," she said and we shrieked, including harper and Emma."Are you serious?" Emma asked and Nelly nodded."Thank you. Thank you!" Harper jumped and I smiled. They are so adorable!"But what about us?" Gabriel pouted along with max and Ricky."You gentlemen, can live with us too but of course separately""Well, I don't understand what you said but I like what I heard," Gab smiled.
*Laura Point Of View*School was over and we all went our separate ways.I went home...to Mr Howards home and I strolled inside. I couldn't see anything and I was a bit scared. It was scary...."Who turned off the light?" I asked, wanting to shout out Luke's name."Surprise!!" My eyes were blind suddenly by light, balloons and confetti."What is all this? You guys scared me to death!" I breathed, with my hand on my chest."That was part of the plan," Kat grinned and I rolled my eyes."The main part of the plan was to excite you," I heard and I turned swiftly. Is that...Gab!"What are you doing here?" I turned to him, feeling confused.Just like that my friends came into view and my eyes almost popped out of their sockets."You must be kidding me!" I gasped. "How did get here before me""Fred helped us. And I am sure you didn't realise when he slowed down.""I didn't know..." I chirped as I shook my h
A Month Later....☁*Laura Point Of View*"What do you mean by he's caustic?" I asked confused."Codic is bitter and shar-""He's name is Cody and he is not bitter," I protested.Me and Gabriel were presently on a date and he kept asking and telling me about Cody behaviour towards me and him together. He doesn't like Cody and Cody doesn't like him."You sound like you are on his side. You are arguing with your boyfriend just because of him?" He hissed and I rolled my eyes."Oh please! I think I'll have a headache if you don't stop talking," I said and he gave me a pointed look which I ignored."Me and Cody are just friends nothing else," I promised and he sighed as he raked his hair."Okay. I believe you," he smiled and I returned it."Now can we go. This place is a little restricted. I want to stretch my legs," I groaned and buried my head on the table."It's not restricted, you are just not used to it," he s
*Third Person Point Of View*Gabriel rushed back with a slightly faint speed. He wanted to get to Laura quickly before she got a hint of his surprise.Yeah, a surprise! Her birthday was coming up in a week time and he was prepared for it. All the grand gestures were to keep her mind out of it.Slowly, he approached the spot he left her a few minutes ago. The sight before him didn't make sense. He felt like crying.Where is the Laura that I left here? He thought and panic.Looking at the scene he already knew what happened..Her ice cream was scattered on the ground, her phone shattered and a piece of cloth roughly laid on the floor.He sucked in breath and walked closer to the item. Swiftly pulling it up, he froze at the situation.He looked at the item with confusion and anger. Right there was written boldly and clearly, "Your beloved shall never be seen by you again! I'll make sure of that" that was the answer to his question.
"What do you want?" I panicked, trying to shift back as he approached the bed. He ignored my question and leaned closer to me."Such a beautiful thing," his hands shot to my hair and I hissed as he dragged it."Please what do you want?" I asked, gulping loudly. He grinned deeply as he shifted back."We may want something but sometimes cannot get it. I am lucky I get what I want," he paced down the room and I just stared at him in confusion."I don't understand," I croaked out and he sighed as he sat on the edge of the bed."How do you know my name!" I manage to shout after the brief silence."I just need you to calm done, Laura," he said."Calm down? How can I calm done when you--, wait you are going to rape me again aren't you?""No honey! I wouldn't dare hurt you. Never ever," he assured but I didn't believe him at all."Then why am I here?" I asked trying not to show my trembling body."I'll told you to stay ca
*Laura Point Of View*"I will leave you two to catch up," the man said and he left. Great! Cody's eyes flashed to me and I shifted back wards."Laura, I can explain..." He trailed off and huffed. He walked over to the bed and sat down."My father has been watching you since. I think he even planned for you to enter the orphanage. Immediately you did, he sent me there too. He was bent on getting to you. He made me do it and I agreed at first, but, when I got to know you, I regretted" he looked over to me."My father would have found another way to get to you if you didn't come here with..Gabriel," he spat out bitterly."What do you want?" I acted calmly but deep down I was heartbroken."I know that you won't believe me but I mean you no harm. I won't let him harm you," he assured."Thank you but I'm okay. You've done enough," I simply stated and he stood up."Please!!" He pleaded. "I think you should go," I said staring at the g
