Lucas's POV.Since I arrived in my office. My mind has been on Laura but I just quickly had to come to the office to settle some jobs I hadn't done yet.I have been working so much and when I finally decided to rest. I realized that I had even done the jobs that were meant for yesterday. So it meant that there was no foul waiting for me and there were no emails that demanded my attention. Neither did I have any meetings or any contracts to sign on.I picked up the last document on my desk anyway. It was an old habit of mine to cross check everything I do. I scanned it one more time before dropping it into the other pile of files.I heard enough on my office door. Then I looked up as I granted permission to the person knocking on the door. “Come in.” I said as my new assistant pushed the door open with a tablet placed under his arm.Laura still wanted to work with me as my secretary. But I told her she should just rest until she has given birth and then she can join me in the office.
Laura's POV.“You were saying something sir, I didn't quite hear you” one of Lucas' men said as we were both seated in the parlour."I am saying that the next time she wants to leave this building, you call me first. You don't let her walk out alone. Do you understand? Also, thank you for looking into Jasper.”"Yes, sir," he answered."I don't want excuses.""There won't be any." he said before leaving and I turned to Lucas.“I didn't want to say this in front of your man. But I have to say it in front of you because I do not like the way you spoke to Jasper.” I said.“What the hell, Laura? Are you going to get angry at me because of another man that was with you and I did not like it.”“I am not a baby Lucas. Even if you're concerned about me you cannot just go around harassing anybody you see there. You spoke to him so rudely and thought he was trying to harm me when he was not even trying to do that. The only thing he was trying to do was keep me company.” “If you're going to stan
Lucas's POV.The moment I stepped into the cafe, my eyes searched for only one person. She was the only person I needed to see at that moment, I was so worried sick about her.When I couldn't find Laura at home, I panicked for so many reasons. She was pregnant but definitely more careless than when she wasn't pregnant.She thought that she could just do anything how she wanted. I spotted her near the bar, her one hand was placed on her stomach, the way it was placed, no one would even know she was pregnant except from someone who already knows. She had such a radiant beauty and glow. I knew it all came with her pregnancy but I was tempted to give her more babies after these babies.I kept on admiring her, up till the extent that I smiled. I was already getting weird stares from the few people in the cafe. They would think I was a creep who was staring at a woman from afar. But they wouldn't know I was admiring the woman in my life. Then all of a sudden, I noticed she wasn't alone.A
Laura's POV..I needed five minutes away from the penthouse. Lucas had been buried in phone calls all morning, trying to uncover who had sent the DNA report to him. I didn't want to interrupt him, so I walked into the quiet café across the street. Using the opportunity to receive fresh air.I had barely wrapped my fingers around a cup of tea when a shadow stopped beside my table."May I sit with you?"I looked up to see a man standing there, he looked like a man who would be in his late thirties. He wore a simple black suit, no flashy watch, or accessories.There was something calm about him, and it would surely make people listen to him before he even spoke."I'm sorry," I said. "Do I know you?""No, you don't," he said, smiling at me."Then why are you asking to sit with me?""Because every other seat is taken." he replied, I glanced around. He was right so I nodded my head at him."Go ahead and sit down." I said."Thank you." he replied, sitting down without invading my space."I'
Lucas's POV.Laura's words stayed in my head. She told me to be a father to Zara, I sat alone for several minutes before I finally forced myself to leave the study room. She literally left me there all by myself alone.I found Laura sitting on the couch, reading a novel she clearly wasn't paying attention to. She looked up immediately she noticed my presence."You finally came out."“Yes I did. Where's Zara?" I asked, Laura closed the novel in her hands before responding to me."She is in her room.""Is she sleeping?""I don't think so.""I guess I should talk to her." I said, rubbing my forehead in anxiety. "You should.""But I don't know what to say.""Don't think about it too much.""What?""Stop trying to find perfect words.""I'll only make things worse.""You already did. But she's still waiting for you, she is your daughter afterall.” she said with so much honesty and her words stung deep into me. I just let out a frustrated sigh."You really don't let me hide, do you?""I fel
Lucas's POV."What do you mean by I'm not your daughter?" Zara asked, her words breaking me.Zara stood at the bottom of the staircase, tears rolling down her cheeks before anyone had the chance to answer her. "Zara. Take it easy, you aren't feeling good.” Laura said. Zara's eyes weren't on her but on me."Dad. Please tell me all of this is a lie?” she asked. I just couldn't say anything to her. I was used to negotiating billion-dollar deals without breaking a sweat while staring at different men stern faces but the little girl I raised all by myself. I couldn't say a word to her anymore."Dad." she whispered again. "Say something, please. I'm talking to you.”“Baby, Zara is talking to you. At least give her an a swear, she's already feeling so bad.” Laura said, tapping me gently."My personal doctor, Nathan Rab a DNA test on both of us.” I managed to say as Nathan cleared his throat.“This is a family matter so I would love to excuse myself. See you some other time, Lucas.” Nathan
Laura POV“I'm so sorry, Miss Laura, we would call you back if anything comes up.” The lady across the desk curled a small smile.Her red nails tapped once on the paper before her, and then she pushed my file gently aside, like it had already become part of a pile of forgotten things.I held the st
Lucas's POV.I knew something had been wrong with Laura for days. I stood outside her apartment, my hand was halfway to the doorbell because I was about to ring it.I had studied Laura to the extent that I knew that when she was disturbed. She automatically becomes distant, and I just didn't like i
Laura's POV.“You really love making everything about yourself, don't you?” I said, chuckling at his words in a displeased aura.I stepped away from him quickly like I was running away from him, which I was really doing.“I came here to work Lucas. Not to deal with your whole facade. Whatever you th
Laura's POV.“Did you see that?” I asked Lucas, my heart still racing from the flash. Lucas frowned at the direction I used my finger to point towards. His hand still slipped tightly around my waist.“See what?”“The light,” I said quickly. There was a flash right there. Like a camera.” “There's n
