The next day;"No moping around, no talks about every stunt you've pulled and try to inquire about him ok?" Said Mrs Parson to her daughter, as she adjusted her dress. Laura could only nod her head at the woman's requests. She was going to be meeting Councilman Duran today and she was nervous.'What if he doesn't meet my expectations?.' Laura thought. The few minutes she spent with him yesterday weren't enough to judge him.”And please act elegant…""Mother, that's enough. Even If I act in all of this manner it won't be the predictor of him liking me.””Of course it will! That should be every woman's attribute."”And then every woman in the world will be alike, where is the fun in that? A woman should be herself in order for a man to love her for who she is. ”Just do as I say, do not mess this up Laura da' Silva Parson.””I won't." She muttered. She looked at her reflection with a frown. She hated it when her hair was styled like this. But she couldn't do anything about it now.A mai
”So how was it? Did you two have fun? You only spent one hour, what happened..""Mother! Please i just arrived, can't you give me a break?""A break! This is about your future Laura. Now what happened?""Nothing much. We went to eat, we chatted for a while and he brought me back.”"So that's all?" "Yes mother, what else could have happened?" Laura asked her mother."Didn't you two talk about any future plans like marriage?”"And why should we? We've just started to know each other.""You aren't playing your cards right Laura. Don't you like him?"Laura pinched the spot between her eyebrows. Kilan is very good looking and has his charms. He's also sweet and thoughtful. But she wasn't sure if she liked him. Although she felt comfortable with him, that doesn't mean she's in love with him.”I don't know, I can't figure that out right away. Mom please, I'm not in a hurry. Just give me some time to know him better, that is if he wants it.”Mrs Parson gave a sigh of defeat. ”Fine, but pleas
A horse galloped across the yard of the Parson's estate. A messenger man rode this horse towards the entrance. He handed over an item, wrapped in brown paper, to one of the guards at the front.”Delivery for Laura Parson." He informed and then the man rode away.The guard then immediately went to deliver it to the lady. Laura who was in the parlour, reading a magazine with a cup of coffee in her hands, looked up when she noticed the guards presence."What do you want?""A delivery for you lady Laura." He replied and handed over the huge wrapped item. Laura inspected the package. She hasn't ordered anything, so who sent this to her? "Alright, you may leave.” Laura immediately unwrapped the package and there she saw a bouquet of daisies. Her mouth formed an o-shape. The sweet and earth scent of the flowers wafted up her nose and a smile formed onto her lips. She dug through the flowers and she found a note.”A little gift for accepting my invitation. I had an amazing time and I know yo
Kilan was in his office situated in his home. Going through some of the statements and reports of the Valpees attack. Kevin was supposed to be back. Being his assistant, he needed him by his side at all times. But Kilan also needed him to survey the village. Not like the the security there wasn't enough. He just didn't trust them completely.There's a possibility that the attack was because of the newly discovered gold mine. They wanted to carry out their operation, but the village vigilante caught them. But the vigilantes weren't fully equipped. They were killed and the commotion alerted the villagers. The villagers who were still on the streets got caught up in it and they also got killed.They escaped without a trace. They could be local thieves or gang members. Whoever they were, they need to be caught.”Councilman Duran, someone is here for you.” His butler informed.”Let them in." It was quarter past nine. Who could be here wanting to talk to him at this hour of the night? The
A few days later;After Kevin's death, the past few days became hectic for Kilan. First, he dedicated his time in preparing a proper funeral for his deceased assistant, which took place three days after his death.Although Kevin wasn't married, he still had his parents. Kilan paid his condolences to them, promising that he would always be at their disposal.After this, Kilan had to come in front of the council to explain things to them. Although the council ended up concluding that it was a mugging as they earlier suspected, Kilan still didn't believe that. "Kilan, you should try to talk to Mackenzie and see what he says." Said Kamillah. They were in his main office in the council. The chattering outside of the room made him cranky, so he slammed the door shut locked it and pulled the curtains."You seem restless, what's wrong?" She asked, walking towards his desk. He gave a frustrated sigh."Everything Kamillah. Kevin died and no one is working on the case, we don't even have any le
Two weeks later;Laura strolled down the steps at a calculated pace. Moving elegantly, she looks nothing less to that of a princess. She is dressed in a beautiful wedding dress. The dress which flowed freely onto the ground, had its train sweeping the floor. Instead of the classic long sleeve, it was sewn to be short sleeved instead. Her hair was styled in a bun and in her hands was a bouquet of flowers."You look beautiful darling." Says her mother. Laura only gives her a smile. She looks towards her father to see a warm smile on his face. "Are you ready?" Her father asks. Without any delay, they were out of their house and heading into their carriage. Mrs Parson continuously stares at her daughter. It was like she was in awe. To see her only daughter getting married made her emotional.When they arrived at the church, she stared at the qqqatall building. Flowers were arranged at the entrance and petals were sprinkled on the ground. It all looked very beautiful. She links her arms w
Laura was definitely not paying attention to what Ciara was saying. Her mind was on Kilan who just arrived with a woman she knew too well. Ciara, who noticed this, looked to where Laura's attention was.She then saw that Laura was staring at Councilman Duran who arrived with Kamillah Saline."Laura, are you ok?""Yes, I am." Laura had a grimace on her face. And here she was worried about him and he was here, holding hands with some woman. "That's Councilman Kilan Duran, he's part of the council." Ciara informed her."I know." Laura said with a forced smile."And she is Kamillah Saline. As far as I know, she's the advisor to Sir Mackenzie, the head of the council."Laura stared at the woman that had a contagious smile on her face. She looked at her from top to bottom. She had a pretty face, that's for sure, and her shoulder length hair bounced perfectly. The dress she wore fit her perfectly."I know." Ciara gives her friend a dumb look. "So why are you staring at them like that?" "I
“Once again, I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone for attending this small gathering of mine. I hope we have many more of these, Cheers!“ Quoted Sir Philips as he raised his champagne filled glass in the air.A synonymous cheer filled the air, soon enough the guests started to dive into another conversation with each other.“Did you come alone Ronald? I haven't seen you talking to anyone yet."“No, I am here alone. Why do you ask?""Nothing, I just haven't seen you speak to anyone yet."“There's no one in particular I'd like to talk to. Everyone here has their own group to merge with, excluding me and you of course."“Yes, as always.“ She said with a pleasant smile. On the other side of the party, Kilan had noticed Laura between the small sparse of people. Truthfully, he wouldn't have expected to see her here, she had no business at a party like this, but he concluded that it was all because of her parents.It's been over two weeks since he last saw her. And he wondered what ha
