ANDY'S POV “The only problem is, I don't know how to get you out of the house since Ricky has given strict orders that you shouldn't go anywhere,” Andy said, after explaining his plan to Laura.Laura was pleased with the idea that Laura had, and she was willing to help. “You know you're the one person they actually listen to. So it's only wise if you play the part” Andy smiled.“Alright” she replied. The thought of having these two men wrapped around her finger made her blush. “I think I know how we can get me out of the house. You're Ricky's personal assistant, right? Just make sure his schedule for tomorrow is super packed, to keep him busy for hours, while I go out to see Rhett” she explained, he nodded.“What about the gammas? How will you get past them? Ricky ordered them not to let you out.”“Don't worry about that. I was known in my school as a troublemaker, I'll take care of it” she flashed him a sinister smirk and he chuckled.“If you say so. Please be careful. I'm going t
LAURA'S POV “Cousins?” asked, bewildered. That was the least thing she was expecting to hear. How could they be cousins and still work so hard to kill each other?“Ricky is heartless!” She whined. Laura was sober when she remembered how much Rhett was tortured by Ricky. How can a human being do that to his own family? She sighed and moved to a more comfortable position, still holding Ricky's hand.“Oh no babe… If I had him in my custody, I would have done worse things” Rhett smirked. “Why? Why do you two hate each other so much?”“It's a long story. I don't want to talk about it” Rhett answered, his fingers combing through Laura's hair.“But I want to know!” Laura insisted. It was her role to find out what actually happened, and finding it out was a major part of their plan.What's the plan?To get Rhett and Ricky to choose… Between their useless feud and those they love.“Alright calm down! I'll tell you” Rhett scoffed.“Well, My father and Ricky's father were born different mothe
THIRD-PERSON POVRhett was the first to rush to Laura, he placed her head on his lap and gasped at her bleeding arm. Thankfully, Ricky did not shoot her in the chest.“Don't worry, you're going to be fine” he said, and she nodded, in a lot of pain. Ricky just stood there in awe, regretting what he did. He wasn't able to move, he hated himself for hurting her, the one person whom he found solace in.“Look what you did, all because of your useless feud” Andy whispered to him, increasing the guilt he was already feeling.“I've called the ambulance. Don't worry Laura, you'll be fine” Andy said, walking over to Rhett's side. Rhett glared at him.“Don't pretend like you care. You and your boss are in this together… So get away from us!” Rhett growled at him and Andy sighed.The ambulance came soon and Laura was rushed to the hospital, again! She was admitted, and the doctors began surgery to get out the bullet and save her life.Everyone was at the hospital, and they were all worried about
PAULINA'S POV“Laura” Paulina called, sitting by the bed with tears in her eyes.“I'm so sorry… It was my fault, I didn't take care of you the way I was supposed to. I didn't give you the right medication… You wouldn't have fallen pregnant” Paulina complained, pained that such a young girl would soon become a mother.“Ma, please stop” Laura sighed, clutching the old woman's hand to her stomach.Laura winced a little, adjusting her bandaged arm to a more comfortable position.“Don't blame yourself for anything. It was Ricky that put me in a family way” Laura sniffed back her tears.“Besides, it's over a month now” she added, Paulina's eyes widened in shock at the statement.“Wait, you knew about it before now?” She asked.“Yes, the day I was rushed to the hospital after collapsing on Ricky's bed. I told the doctor not to tell anyone about it. I was scared and sad. I decided to keep it to myself until I decide whether to get rid of it or not” Laura explained as tears raced down her chee
RICKY'S POV “Abort the baby?” Ricky stood by the window, trying to make sense of the situation. He never imagined in his life that he would become a father at this stage of his life. The thought of having a baby with Laura gave him mixed feelings. He didn't know whether to be happy or angry about it. What if the baby belongs to Rhett? Both of them are in a relationship, aren't they?He groaned at the thought of Rhett taking Laura away from him. He had to clarify things. He had to know if the baby belonged to him or to Rhett. Perhaps a DNA test?Ricky made up his mind to leave for the hospital the following morning before Laura aborts the baby. ******Ricky entered the lobby and had a talk with the nurse, who directed him to Laura's ward. On getting there, he was shocked to see Rhett there already, holding Laura's hand. He wanted to go in there and punch his teeth out, but he decided to control his anger and listen to their conversation instead.“I have to go back to Europe now. I
MELO'S POV“Tell me it's a dream Qwen" Melo cried, leaning on her best friend. “Unfortunately, it's not” Qwen replied.“The same fate has befallen us” she added and Melo sniffed.All these years of waiting for Ricky to finally make her his Luna, all these years of dedicating her life, her heart, and her body to him… He chose a slave over her.She was heartbroken, bitter, and resentful. She would never forgive Ricky or that slave for humiliating her in the way that they did. Drying her tears, she looked up at Qwen.“I will not fold my arms and let everything I have worked hard for just disappear into thin air like this” she stated, filled with rage and envy.“What do you want to do? You can't go against Ricky” Qwen said.“You can decide to sit back and watch your man marry some slut, but I won't do that. Ricky is not allowed to be with another woman as his Luna” Melo sounded sinister. She got up and strode to the mirror. She wiped off the tears in her eyes and grinned at her reflecti
LAURA'S POV “You look so ridiculous” Laura said as she continued to laugh at Ricky. Coffee was all over the place, and the coffee mug rested on Ricky's head. He felt embarrassed, he got up and dropped the mug on his desk.“This is so sticky” he said, using his fingers to sweep the dripping coffee off his forehead and flinging it away. He looked at Laura, who was still laughing and smiled. She looked beautiful, it was the first time he ever saw her laugh like that.“You can stop laughing now” he said, and she struggled to seize her laughter. Their eyes met and she blushed.“You should take a bath and wash all that off” she said, walking to the closet. She pulled out a bucket and a mop. She entered the bathroom, filled the bucket with water, and came out to mop up the coffee.“Thanks for helping me clean. I'll take a shower quickly” Ricky said and entered the bathroom. Laura stared at him until he disappeared into the bathroom. She wondered what had come over Ricky all of a sudden.He
RICKY'S POV“What strange man?” Ricky asked with a raised eyebrow, and Melo panicked. She was scared and angry at Gova for opening her mouth after she had sternly warned her to keep it shut.“I saw her two weeks ago, after you proposed to her. She went to meet a man at your old warehouse near the mall. She gave the man money to keep her secret, and she also slept with him” Gova revealed, giving everyone present a big shock.Ricky turned to Melo and glared at her.First, what secret was she hiding from him?Secondly, he couldn't believe he almost got married to a woman who sleeps around.“Gova, do you mind explaining yourself?” Ricky asked, trying to remain calm in the situation. Nobody said anything, they were waiting for Melo to explain herself.“Ricky, how could you even believe this Omega? She's just delusional because she's worried about her friend” Melo sounded scared, it was visible in her voice. She blinked at Qwen in a bid to ask for backup, but Qwen didn't want to get involve
