QWEN POV"Ricky, we are supposed to be planning our marking ceremony, but here you are, messing around with a slave!" Melo ranted, glaring at Ricky with her hands on her waist. Ricky sighed and rubbed his eyes tiredly. He still had a headache from last night's headache and Melo pulling him out to the hallway to rant didn't make matters easier."Melo, do you need anything?" Ricky questioned, ignoring her statement. "Yes, I need my Lycan King to be to actually be interested in our marking ceremony!" She demanded."Look Melo, I've given you what you wanted, haven't I? We're getting marked. Go ahead and plan the ceremony to your taste. I have other important things to attend to" Ricky said in a stern tone and Melo groaned.She wanted his full attention, but he wasn't ready to give it to her. For the past few days, every event has Laura in the middle of it. It's always about her and it's making Melo sick. She can't even remember the last time Ricky called her into his room."What importa

RICKY'S POVAndy noticed how absent-minded Ricky was at the office that day. He was always distant during meetings and barely heard what any of the organizers were saying.When they were both in his office alone, he decided to ask him about it."Are you okay Ricky? You seem a little distant today" Andy asked, staring intensely at Ricky who was tapping his fingers non-stop on the desk."I don't know Damon... I hurt Laura and she's upset with me" he confessed much to Andy's surprise. "Wait.. did you just say Laura is upset with you? And you're sulking about it?" Andy snapped his head back in laughter while Ricky glared at him."What exactly is funny?" He queried."The fact that are in love with Laura and you don't realize it" Andy replied, trying to recover from his outburst."I am not" Ricky scoffed."If you know what's good for you, you better start trying to win her heart, or you might end up losing her for good" Andy pointed out."Even if you were right, what about my wedding? I pr

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

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

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
