~ Four years Later ~"Laura, stop running around!" Isabella yelled out from the staircase where she was standing, glaring at her energetic daughter. She was only four years old but Laura was as sharp and powerful as a full grown adult.It was abnormal, but Isabella didn't pay any attention to it. She just assumed that Laura inherited the attitude from her father. But Kenneth Lancaster wasn't that kind of person, he was more calm and reserved. Then where the hell did her daughter inherit such strength from?Isabella finally caught Laura, "I told you to stop running, Laura" she warned her, Isabella picked up the pink hello kitty designed school bag from the floor and held it in her hands. "Let's go. Or you might be late for school" she cautioned Laura."Mummy, look" Laure pointed towards the TV which had just been turned on by her using the remote control."It's SpongeBob SquarePants" Laura wanted to watch the cartoon show but Isabella wouldn't allow her. The time was 7:20 a.m. and Lau
The next morning, before Isabella would wake up, it was already 8 a.m, she had a rough night and managed to fall asleep that morning, causing her to wake up that late.Immediately she looked at the time, Isabella jerked up from the bed. She recalled that Laura had to be at school. Isabella didn't even wear her slippers as she ran barefooted outside the room to get her daughter prepared for school.The bedroom was next door, which she easily located and entered but after that, Isabella was stunned to find that Laura wasn't in her bedroom. Although the bed had been done and the room had been cleaned, she looked around and searched for her daughter before heading out to the living room to continue her search.She also didn't see Ken anywhere inside the house, it was obvious that they were already awake, realization dawned on Isabella that Ken might've prepared and taken Laura to school already.She felt a bit of relief as she checked the kitchen and saw the leftover meals from what the
Alexander Hunt had just exited his office and was out to pick up his son from school. The school would close in the next one hour, and the ride there took only Thirty minutes so he'd be thirty minutes early to pick him up.After Isabella's death, he became an alcoholic and there, he mistakenly spent one of his drunken nights with Catalina which resorted to a pregnancy.He had no choice but to get married to her after she threatened to take his son away if he doesn't marry her and change his attitude.But with everyday that passes, Alexander would always think about Isabella. He was so in love with her, he couldn't believe that she died. Even though it's been five years, the pain he felt in those years was nothing compared to how he felt during the demise of Catalina.He wasn't in love with Catalina but had just gotten married to her for the sake of his child. Alex was regretting his decisions, because he never treated her as his wife for once.That night when he touched her was the on
Isabella drove her car away at high speed, ever since she left the school her heart has been acting up. Who was that man? Why did meeting with him have so much effect on her?Isabella lost concentration as she drove down the highway, she felt a throbbing headache and was so uncomfortable, Laura noticed and she yelled. "Mummy, you're driving too fast" Laura cried out fearfully.Isabella tried to control her emotions and focus but nothing worked. The headache increased, her vision turned blurry, she couldn't even drive anymore and her hands subconsciously left the steering wheel. Isabella held her head tightly, rubbing her temples. She was having blurry visions, she didn't even know where she was anymore. It seemed like her memories were coming"Even Laura's cries didn't stop anything. Isabella and Laura were in an accident, everywhere spinned around Isabella's view and when she realized what happened, she turned to Laura who was in a critical condition and unconscious.Isabella panic
Isabella's eyes fluttered open in a foreign room. She blinked twice for her eyes to adjust to the white brightness, A beeping sound echoed in the room. Isabella laid motionless trying hard to remember what happened and how she had managed to end up in a hospital.Her brain kept asking a lot of questions which she couldn't give an appropriate answer to. "Thank goodness you're awake." His familiar calm voice tilted her head to the left side where he was seated in a white chair. There was paleness all over his face which proved he had been watching over her praying she would wake up. Coupled with donating blood for Laura, Alex was so weak but he pretended.Isabella, instead of thanking him, gave him a disdainful look. "You..." She managed to speak with hoarseness,That was the least word he had expected her to say first. Isabella sat up with a frown on her face looking directly at him. That moment she had a recollection of heat. She pointed a finger at his face. "You bastard, what a
Isabella screamed out, the act was unexpected. "Kenneth," she yelled and rushed to hold him. Before that, Alex sent two more punches at Kenneth, the man didn't retaliate, he allowed Alex to vent out his anger on him. Everything was to his advantage, now, Isabella would never consider Alexander even though she remembered him. Laura started crying. She doesn't like watching people argue or fight. The atmosphere in the room was so toxic, it frightened Laura. When Alex finally stopped hitting Kenneth, the first thing he did was rush to Laura to calm her down. "Please don't cry my angel. Daddy is so sorry." The way Kenneth was so affectionate towards Laura made Alex angrier, he wouldn't hesitate to separate them if she was truly his child. Laura's cries lessened,"Are you happy now?" Ken asked and Laura nodded. Watching the whole scene play out, Isabella scolded Alex. "Why are you still here? Please get out!" She yelled at him. "I didn't mean to make her cry." Alex's voice became cal
~ Two weeks later. ~Isabella was the last to wake up that morning. She was deeply asleep; she didn't hear the alarm ring to get Laura ready for school. Her mind had been occupied with the stranger in her dreams.*10:0am*"Ohh my God!." Isabella yelled out throwing the duvet from her body. Outside the room the air smelt of beacon with rich milky tea. "Good morning sunshine."Ken greeted her, He was preparing breakfast. "I'm… I'm sorry." Isabella apologized, stuttering. She threw her eyes away. "Laura is late for school. I need to get her ready."" I already took her to school." Ken answered briefly."You did?" Isabella said, sighed deeply in relief. "Thank you, Kenneth, " she said, moving closer and giving him a peck on the cheek. Ken was surprised, Isabella had never been this affectionate towards him before.Ken smiled brightly as he served her meal. "Here comes breakfast, please sit down, let me get yours" he said.He pulled out a seat for Isabella like a total gentleman. Ken
At noon that day, Isabella went to pick Laura up from school. Time went by so fast, the whole world was against her today. Isabella finally arrived at the school, Laura was the first to sight her coming towards the door of her classroom."Mummy." Laura happily threw her hands around Isabella, she was so excited to see her mother in school. It wasn't like the last time when they got into an accident because Alex wasn't there, so was his son. Isabella loved the looks on Laura's face, her daughter was filled with happiness and so was she.."Mummy, look at my test script."She held up her test script. Laura got a big (A) written on her math test. Isabella gasped out in excitement "That's wonderful Laura." She picked her up and cuddled her into her arms. Laura had always been very intelligent, Isabella wondered why it was never for her to get Laura to start school early. She was happy that Laura was making her proud in less than a month in school.Isabella took the script from her then n
