I was really frightened after those people left. I quickly talked to the administration about what had happened earlier. 

On my way back home, I was still trying to remember that I was scared and worried. How did they know about Walter, and why they were after us? 

They wanted to use all the funds and money given to those children for their own benefit. I had worked for years to make this society, and the pain of giving it up was impossible to ignore.

At night, the weather was a bit cold, and it looked liked it's gonna rain in the morning. 

Walter was running late again today. I was a bit worried, so I decided lay down on the sofa downstairs to wait for him. 

The next morning, I woke up early and found myself covered by a warm blanket. I was sure Butler must have put it on me. 

After getting up and getting dressed, I came downstairs to see Walter reading a newspaper. 

"So any important news?" I asked him pouring the tea.

"Nothing much, just those criminal cases and politics," he replied. 

By the word "criminal" I suddenly thought of what had happened yesterday. "You know what?" I said to him in a low voice. 

"What?" he asked. 

"Yesterday a group of people came to the cancer society. They threatened us, and said that they want all the funds; or else. I don't know what will they do. I was so scared and they all took your name. Just be aware of them." I wanted to warn him.

"What the heck? Did they hurt you or the children?" he was almost astonished. 

"No," I replied almost perplexed. He was actually worried about me? 

There was a pause between us again. I took a slice of bread and ate in silence. He was looking more than handsome when he usually dresses in his office suit. I wanted to see him for the entire day.

"This Sunday is Jennie's wedding so I hope you will be joining us. You have to be there. " I told him. 

He shooked his head and I didn't know whether it was a yes or no. 

I looked at his tie which was tied improper again. I laughed and giggled. I kept my hands on my mouth because I couldn't stop laughing.

"What?" he looked at me with a confused expression.

"Okay, why is your tie improper as always?" I said almost laughing.

"It is?" he looked anxious.

"This is your IQ level." I smirked.

"Yeah, it is tied wrong," he replied folding the newspaper. "And you know why?" he was about to leave the table.

"Why?" I stood up as well.

"Because I want someone special to tie it properly again." he smirked. With this he picked his wallet and tied his tie again. 

I was still looking at him standing unconscious.

"And who is that someone?" I asked eagerly.

"Of course, the girl I will love in future." he laughed. He left the table and went to his office. 

I disappointed. I was hoping that he might have said my name. Walter you punk!

Walter was piling up his work. His office was quite huge and had many tables and new modern equipment.

 He was the owner of 'James Corporation'. His company was the world's emerging most advanced multi-national company.

"Sir there are some unknown people who are willing to meet you." The person on the phone said.

"Okay send them here," replied Walter, keeping the telephone.

 In a few minutes there was a group of five men standing in front of him. 

"Why are you here again?" shouted Walter.

"Oh! it's nothing dear." laughed one of them.

"I won't bear it anymore!" Walter replied in angrily. 

"It was so little..we want more." grinned the other.

"You dogs! Take this and never come back again." There was a large amount Walter handed over them.

"See you soon." The men laughed, and left him. 

Walter collapsed onto chair and looked completely unconscious.

"Sir! Are you okay?" His secretary Isabelle asked.

"Yeah." Walter was almost in sweat. He drank a glass of water and left for the meeting with 
his secretary.

Laura was seeing off that last patient until Jennie came in the room.

 "Hey Laura!" Jennie said, taking a seat.

"Yes Mrs.Paul" I teased, chuckling.

"Hey! You are coming to our house now, and you are going to stay there for the week. No excuses! You are coming and you gotta help me with my wedding dresses.There is only five days left." Jennie kept talking.

"Okay! But I haven't told Walter about this," I looked at her.

"He is a man come on! Can't you live without seeing him a whole week?" Jennie shrugged.

"But.." I tried to speak but she pulled my hands and I had to go with her.

 I gave in, and we went shopping  and later had dinner, Paul joining us. 

I tried to contact Walter to explain my absence, but his phone was off. 

When I reached Jennie's house I was extremely tired and I fall asleep.

XXX

Walter was worried for Laura; it was nearly 2:00 am he was extremely tense. She wasn't picking up her phone at all. 

"Where the hell is she!" shouted Walter.

"Master, she didn't tell me either." Butler said, looking down.

"Call Miss Jennifer and ask her," Walter gave the phone to butler.

"Hello?" Jennie was on phone.

"Miss Jennifer, is Miss Laura at your house?" Butler asked.

"Oh! Yes she is here! I am sorry. It wasn't her fault.." 

Walter snatched the phone and ended the call.

"She is there?" said Walter furiously.

"Yes master," butler told him.

"Oh! So that's how she's going to be! Wow!" Walter exclaimed, looking angry.

XXX 

The next morning I immediately called Walter.

 "Hey Walter!" I said.

"Yeah." Walter replied.

"Actually yesterday I was..." 

He interrupted me and said,

"I am doing some work so bye," and the call ended. 
It seemed that he was really angry for what I did yesterday. Jennie informed me that she had told butler about it last night. But still, this behavior was unexpected.

Until Sunday there were no texts or calls from him, and I didn't return the favor; I was busy with Jennie for her wedding. 

We all reached the wedding ceremony, and the ring exchanging was about to start. 

I was waiting for him. More than half an hour has passed, and there was no sign of him. I knew he wouldn't ever come here. He is a jerk! My pain had begun to increase.

"I guess we have to start the ceremony now." John said, holding my hand.

The Dance was about to begin, I was still hoping that maybe he would come. 

"Hello, Beautiful!" A familiar voice from behind made me look turn back.

"Stefan!" I cried.

"How have you been? You look gorgeous, by the way. Congratulations! Sorry, I am a bit late." He said, kissing my hand.

"Thank you," I replied, my eyes still looking at him.

"Where is your husband? I want to meet that lucky guy," He chuckled.

"Actually he had an important meeting today so-" I was interrupted by him.

"Just husband things." he smiled at me. 

I really didn't like talking about Walter with him. 

We both talked quietly for a while. The dance had started and I was the only one standing alone. 

"Will you mind dancing with me tonight?" Stefan asked, bending on his knees.

"Sure." I replied. 

We danced together and had a wonderful evening. 

At the end of the night, Stefan dropped me off back at home. 

"Thank you, Stefan. It was great seeing you again." I smiled at him as I got out of his car.

"Don't mention it," he smiled back.

 I entered the house angrily. I was mad at Walter. I wanted to slap him for what he had done. I wish my choice would have been Stefan, instead of an icy man like Walter. 

When I walked into the main room, he was watching a TV show, lying on the sofa. 

I was pissed.

XXX 

Walter, in spite of being mad at Laura for not telling him before leaving, was ready to go to Jennie's wedding. 

However, he was running quite late because of his early meeting.

He finally got there after a long time. By that time, the ceremony had ended and the dance had started. 

He was looking for Laura among many people. While he was looking for her, what he saw was shocking. 

Laura was dancing with an unknown man. 

He was filled with anger and rage. He had a feeling of jealousy and anger. 

He had never felt this feeling, but he was feeling extremely angry. 

He immediately left the hall, without telling Laura and returned home in anger and rage.
