Not Abandoned
âWhat did you just say?â Laura gasped, disbelief scattered all over her face.Then she turned to Brian, almost begging him for intervention.âTwenty years, MumâŚâ She groaned, glaring at her mother.âThatâs how long you have been lying to meâŚâ She sniffled to hold back the tears, but they had a will of their own.They flowed down like streams of a river, wetting her shirt.âEach time I asked after my father, you told me that he never wanted anything to do with me. Then a few years later, you told me that he had died. You even said he still insisted that I didnât belong to him before he diedâŚââThatâs because I didnât want you to get hurtâŚâ Valerie said, but even her voice failed her.âI knew that your father was happily married and had a son, and that he was from a wealthy and powerful family. The odds were against us, Laura. There was no way you were going to be accepted, just like thatâŚââBut you owed me the truth, MumâŚâ Laura snorted, the anger causing her to vibrate.She sniffled a
Not so Hard
Brian slowly lowered the phone he had placed against his ear, glaring at Gabriel.âI beg youâŚâ Valerie pleaded, her voice slippery from the start.She sniffled, then she turned to Laura.Their eyes met, and while she had guilt glittering in her eyes, Laura had sparkles of betrayal and pain beaming in hers.âWhy didnât you tell me?â Laura needed answers, her voice low and unsteady.âI couldnâtâŚâ Valerieâs voice was barely above a whisper, the tears still flowing.Meanwhile, Gabriel watched Brian step up to him, his entire body feeling the presence of his aura.âI want you to leave them aloneâŚâGabriel nodded, and for the first time it didnât seem like he was about to argue, or even be headstrong.âYou are going to disappear from their lives. If I see you even a short distance close to them, you will be spending the rest of your life in jail. Understood?ââYes!â Gabriel nodded, his voice filled with panic.âI will never come anywhere close to them. I promiseâŚââGoodâŚâ Brian nodded, the
Call the Cops
âWhat did you just say?â Gabriel gasped, the disbelief creeping underneath his skin.He suddenly couldnât feel the moisture down his throat, forced to take a deep breath.âYou heard meâŚâ Brian was in no mood to repeat himself, sliding the pen back into his pocket.âLook here, MisterâŚâ He pointed at Gabriel in the face, causing him to take a step back, eyes wide with concern.âI donât care what you think you may have done for Laura and her mother. But you are not getting anything from me. I suggest you walk away and no longer bother them.That was a serious warning, but Gabriel took it for granted.âThatâs never going to happenâŚâ He said, refusing to budge.âI am not leaving here until you pay me back for everything I have done for your sister, including all the times she was sick. Didnât she tell you that I cleared her medical bills? She used to be very sick when she was a baby.ââBut I have been paying you, Gabriel...â Laura spoke out, drawing attention to herself.âNo, MumâŚâ She sho
He Abandoned Them
âYes, GabrielâŚâ Laura nodded, returning her gaze to Gabriel.This time, there was a clear disdain burning in her eyes, strong enough to consume him.âMr. Regal is my half-brother. He is not my lover, as you accused him ofâŚâGabriel blinked again, this time until his eyes could no longer bear the sensation.He moved his eyes from Brian to Laura, and then back to Laura.At that moment, the striking resemblance became visible, as though it had been missing from the onset.âWhy didnât you tell me?â He grunted, turning to Valerie.âWhy didnât you tell me that the man you had fucked was one of the richest men in this country?â He was ready to lunge at her, but Laura shielded her at once.âDonât come close to my mother!â He warned, rolling her eyes at Gabriel.The tension inside her made her nervous, causing her to turn to Brian, silently calling out for help.Gabriel was dumbfounded, yet there was a thrill quietly going on inside him.âWhatâs this?â He asked the rhetorical question, glaring
The Blackmailer
He moved forward without saying a word, then he handed both the pen and the paper to Brian.âThank youâŚâ Brian moved the pen to his right hand, then he took a deep breath, putting on a smile.âI need you to hurry up, man. I need this moneyâŚâ Gabriel huffed, turning to Valerie.âAs soon as I get this money, I am done with you allâŚâ He laughed manically, the excitement churning inside his stomach.âI will no longer need the penny you give meâŚâ He said to Laura, snarling at her.Laura had her eyes on Brian from the beginning, but reminded of her motherâs state, she turned to her immediately, eyes wide when she realized she had not gotten up from her bent posture.She groaned, walking up to her in a hurry.âGet up, MumâŚâ She pulled her up, quietly scolding her with her eyes.Valerie turned until she found Gabriel, the fear inside her rippling like cold liquid.Suddenly, the fierceness she had presented when it was just her and Brian was gone, replaced by something different, as if it had
Write it Down
Gabriel rolled his eyes, struggling to believe those words.âI have never heard of such a device in my life.ââNow you haveâŚâ Brian replied calmly, taking two steps forward.âI know you donât believe meâŚâ He pushed his right hand forward, extending the pen.âWhy donât you try and see for yourself? There is no harm in doing thatâŚâGabriel hesitated, then he turned to Laura slowly.âIs he telling the truth? Does that thing really do everything he just said?âThere was no response, even when Laura opened her mouth to speak.Her eyes moved from one man to the other, a silent wind blowing inside her.âAnswer me, LauraâŚâ Gabriel groaned, showing her the pen.âDoes this truly do what he just said it does? Have you seen him make use of it before?â He was desperate for an answer, and the ladyâs silence was not helping the feeling brewing inside him.âWhy are you not saying anything?â He snorted, his eyes scowling at her.âYou must have seen him making use of it once or twice to make payments.
