Lizzy gently patted Laura who had been sleeping for a while in the darkened room. She hadn't gone back to her house since the day she had reciprocated Samantha's slap. She knew hell was eagerly waiting for her back home. "Wake up Lau." Lizzy said softly. "Dinner is ready.""I'm not hungry." Laura mumbled sleepily."But you have to eat." Lizzy insisted. "You can't continue like this.""I just don't feel like eating." Laura said stubbornly."You're getting up to eat, right this minute." Lizzy ordered and put on the room's bright lights causing Laura to wince as the sharp ray of light hit her face."What was that for?" She grumbled."Your call to come down for dinner." Lizzy replied with a smirk."But it's just 6:30!" Laura whined."I know darling, but I want us to be done with dinner and retire before my parents arrive. I don't want to eat with them.""But why?""They'll start asking me how and why my car got scratched."Laura smiled, despite herself. "You said it was Ronald's car tha

Laura smiled for the umpteenth time as she recalled the first passionate time she had shared with Greg. She had felt wonderful. Really wonderful. And whole. And more of a woman. Especially with the realization that she could enjoy lovemaking like every other normal healthy woman. And Greg had pampered her like a queen and a child as well after they had decided to take a break from their sexercise the next day. It had been three weeks since their reunion and Greg had always been in contact. Calling her on phone, taking her to lunches and dinners, spending intimate time with each other. It had been a very blissful three weeks for her. The memories of their love makings always sent sweet shivers down the pit of her stomach and she always looked forward to the next time they'll be meeting. She did her best to avoid her step mother and sister. She always felt disgusted whenever she saw their faces and made a mental note to tell her father what they had done, when he returned and make s

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lizzy asked snappishly while Laura just gaped at her, too shocked to say anything. "I said I am pregnant for Greg." Samantha replied with a smirk. "What is there not to understand?""You are a big liar," Lizzy gritted. "And a very funny one at that.""But I don't see you laughing." Samantha mocked and turned to Laura who was too shocked to react. "Even if this friend of yours doesn't believe me, I had believed that you, Laura would, since you had literally seen us together that fateful day. We were discussing about the good news when you came in and spoilt the mood with your killjoy presence."❤🍉❤"I do not believe her." Lizzy said. "I do." Laura whispered. "Let's not jump into conclusions yet, Lau." Lizzy reasoned. "We need to hear from Greg.""But you saw everything, the test result, the photos, what other proof do you need, Lizzy? He's probably marrying her because she's really pregnant for him. Oh Lizzy I'm finished.""No you're not.""Y

"...I'm finished Lizzy."Lizzy sighed. "Lau you've been saying that for the past three weeks."It had been three weeks since the painful incident that took place in the hospital and Laura had been acting like a walking dead ever since. "I understand that it's hard for you but please you have to stop this." Lizzy continued. "Please I need you to eat. You haven't eaten since morning.""I'm not hungry." Laura replied drily. Lizzy sighed. "Laura please...""I said I'm not hungry!" She snapped."Stop acting like a baby!" Lizzy snapped back. "I am not acting like a baby!""But you're being one now, Laura." Laura shook her head. "You don't know how I feel so you can never understand!"Lizzy sighed for the umpteenth time. The pregnancy hormones coupled with the Greg issue was taking a toll on her friend. "Laura," She said gently. "Trust me when I say that I know exactly how you feel. I've been there before, remember?" Laura stiffened for a second then turned to face her, her expression

Samantha sighed as she looked at her mother who was regarding her thoughtfully. "Mum, it only bothers me that Greg had set the wedding for November which is in six months! Six months mum!" She wailed. Celine frowned. "Anything could happen within six months.""But why would he set the wedding to be held on that date?" Celine asked absently. "He said it was to give us more time to know each other more." Samantha replied in frustration. "We've been getting to know each for the past eight months now mum and now this again. Mum I'm so scared.""Calm down my dear," Celine comforted. "You'll just have to play along and agree to everything he says until you're both married.""But for how long? This is wearing me down." Samantha sighed. "I understand, but he is one big fish we can't afford to lose." She smiled at her daughter. "See the way he has been taking good care of you and even me and your sister, Mirabel. And I'm also happy that that thing left the house. He would have been seeing
