~Nothing ever goes away until
it teaches us what we need to know.

My hopes and dreams will be annihilated with the stroke of a pen. If I do this then everything will go downhill, but I have to take the risk I have to keep her safe. "Vincent just sign the damn papers." Sarah looked at me eagerly, I was making a terrible mistake I knew I was but I couldn't back down.

"No there's another way, I'll divorce her." Her whole face brightened at the mention of a divorce. "No sort of communication between the two of you, or else you want to see her die." Her mouth curved into a wicked smile, How could I make a terrible mistake, Sarah who I trusted so much was worst than the Preston family.

"Every time I see you it gives me the urge to fucking kill you for what you've done." I spat at her, she smirked taking a seat across from me. "What a shame Vincent," She sighed running her hands along with the table. "I wouldn't say this is all your fault but actually it is." She laughed making the inside of me blaze.

"Get the fuck out Sarah, and take your filthy daughter off my couch." I roared at her, Jessica on the other hand who was sitting on my couch looking at me with pure lust. 

"Get out now!" They quickly scrambled to their feet and ran out, all of this was giving me a slight headache. I just want to go home and hug the fuck out my wife and sleep this off like it's just a bad dream. The black glass surface of my desk was equally kept nothing out of place: a computer, a leather notebook, and a framed photograph of me and Laura at the beach a tHREE WEEKS ago.

My hands went across the table swiping everything off, I took the frame in my hand looking at Laura my arms were wrapped around her waist while she looked up at me smiling.

Everything that I've done these past few years was all a waste. it was all a waste what was i doing all these years  to lose her all over again why am i even living? because i made a promise is it that because i have no hope and no love no nothing these people only love me because of my riches and i get this one chance and there taking it away from me i clenched my cheeks when i heard knocking at my door>

"leave!" i said in anger but the figure was there< "sir<" the voice i recognize as my secretary said "the meeting_"

"i said leave or your fired" when i saw her figure disappear i shout out in anger completly defeated>

***********************

I got back a days ago because of Laura being seasick, I thought it was because of her being away from home for so long and that we are in a new environment.

I stopped as soon as I entered the bedroom. Laura was there alright but sitting on the floor before her was a large pool of vomit, some of it still trailing from her lips, viscous and opaque. She turned her head toward me, the caustic fluid coating her mouth said one thing, "Water."

I passed her the water, she gulped it down and wiped away the trail that rolled down her chin.
I looked at the tray seeing an half-eaten food on the plate. "Who gave you that?" FURIOUS I WAITED FOR HER REPLY

She blinked at me, "The maid did." just as she replied i left the room and head straight to the kitchen, the maids were speaking to each other but kept quiet when they felt my presence. "If anything happens to her all of you are dead and i mean dead" they both look at each other confused

"you dont know?" i scartched my chin pasting back and forth to calm down "who gave her the food?" they stood still head bow looking down at the floor "i said who gave her the food!" i snapped causing them to jump in fright< one of the young woman stepped forward raising her head a bit so i could see her face>

"sir i promise i didn't" she whsipers but was stop by my heavy shouting> "out all of you out now! i swear if anything happens to my wife ill kill all of you-"

"No, no Vincent that's unlikely you," Mason spoke from behind me, who the hell let him in my house? "You may go." The maids scurried away leaving Mason and I alone.

"Vincent, what the hell, you want people to think that you're crazy?" I rolled my eyes making my way to the living room. "They already think that whatS the differences will it make now?" I closed my eyes leaning my head backward. i was so angry that id rip one of their head apart

"What you thinking now Vincent?" I hummed crossing my legs over each other. "Its Laura when I saw her looking like that a while back, I knew that I cant come to the conclusion that I can't have her leave me." He hums taking a seat beside me. "Man I know but its the only way

"I can't let her go-"

"You can't let who go?" Laura was standing at the entrance looking at us confused. "I'm talking about Tina," Mason lied making me heaving out a sigh. "I'm confused but its none of my business, I'm going to the hospital." I nodded at Mason to give us a minute when he points to the direction to my office.

How did I ever get myself to like her this much, Laura wasn't the girl I'd dream of getting this beautiful nor did I expect us to get this close. "I'll come with you if you want." She sighed resting her hands on my chest, my hands rubbing her backs in circles.

"It'll be disrespectful to leave Mason here alone and it's okay, just a normal checkup maybe I'm allergic to something that I didn't know about." She might be true its nothing big I hope. but yet i vented my anger out on the maids a little voice in my head said "Just call me if something comes up." As I kiss her neck a wave of pure pleasure runs through my entire body.

Her perfume is intoxicating. As I kiss my way gently up her neck to lips that taste of lavender, the scenery disappears and I am lost at this moment. She giggles between the kiss trying to pull away but I gold her in place, her brown eyes looking in my blue ones. A good combination for a baby's eye I thought.

"I need to go apparently you're aware of what's going to happen next." She bit down her lips, her eyes traveling from my eyes to my lips. The urge to have her now was making me hard.

"I know this will end good, but I have a business to attend to" I winked at her but her hands were still interlocked with mines making me stop. She pleaded with her eyes and I knew exactly what she wanted. "At least one last kiss," she suggests and I smirked.

I stared deep into her cinnamon-brown eyes, I cupped her cheek that was slowly turning red, damn she looks cute when she blushes. I smiled at her before slowly I leaned into her. My other hand was shaking slightly, my mind was repeating the same sentence over and over, "Don't do this... don't do this."

What choice do I have, I want her, and yet I can't have her and I want to break down every time I see her smiling at me But the sound of my heart was beating so loudly I couldn't concentrate. It felt like it was going to explode. 

Finally, my lips touched her. Sparks flew in every direction, and the world was slowly disappearing around us, along with all of our worries, our troubles, and our problems. She made me feel like none of that mattered. "You should go." She smiled at me sweetly walking to the front door.
