What if it’s an emergency?” “Forget her, that bitch, for three years she wouldn’t let me touch her, she must be crazy. But you, my dear, make me irresistible. “Stop it. ” As if a bolt of lightning struck overhead Laura felt dizzy, and all her hopes collapsed Her supposedly loving boyfriend had betrayed her long ago, and the woman he was with was none other than Pearl, her step-sister and Bridget’s daughter No wonder he had never publicly acknowledged their relationship for three years, claiming it was to protect her reputation It was all a lie! Sounds of their intimacy kept coming, and the lights shone brightly, illuminating Laura’s tightly closed eyes with a faint glow. When she opened them again, they were ice-cold Before, she had been too foolish to believe what Louis said, that he would repay her favor of saving his life Now, she finally understood how foolish it was to believe a man’s sweet words But now, she was all alone, and even her boyfriend, who could help her, had betrayed her.
