The reporters were trying to break in the grounds of the complex, and thats when a car came, a shiny black SUV, reflecting the surroundings on it's surface, trying to enter the complex, who was it? I don't know.
As soon as the person driving the car rolled down the window to signal the guards to let them in, the reporters began going crazy over it, now their whole attention was on the car, but the guards giving protection to the SUV let it in, keeping the reporters outside.
What the hell was happening? Mahbe there a scandal broke out, Luca did say that many people living in this building are kids of elite family, maybe something happened.
After freshing up I went to the kitchen and made myself a cup of coffee and began scrolling on the phone, I was sipping ony coffee when a post intrigued me, and I began reading it.
My eyes widened, and I choked on my sip, coughing hardly until my eyees were teary and my throat was burning.
It was about what had happened yesterday, someone had posted about, Laurel Miller, delivering the Valor family's baby for fun,
Cecily Valor's baby, for fun.
And then how she was humiliated by her own brother and Cassian Valor, right in front of the apartment's female staff, and now Cecily Valor and her Baby's life is in grave danger.
I was in utter shock, what is this? Is... Cecily really sick? But I... I have done this before, I was... Trained for this, I know everything about delivering a baby, with no equipments, it was a perfectly normal delivery, in fact it...it was way more than... successful... I... I harmed the baby...
I promised Cecily that her baby would be okay! Then how could I.
I need to check on her... I need to go to her.
I quickly grabbed my car keys and walked out of my apartment and pressed the lift button continuous times, when the lift opened and Luca was standing there.
His eyes were filled with worry, and he looked impatient as soon as he saw me, he engulfed me in a hug, taking me off guard.
His dark brown hair, messy just like that night, coat that he wore on a crinkled dress shirt, his black eyes filled with panic.
"Thank goodness you are okay!" He muttered while hugging me, and slowly parted away.
I was bearly reaching his neck, or maybe his shoulders too, my head against his chest whenever he or I had hugged him.
"What are your doing out here! You shouldn't be out of your apartment... Come on." He grabbed my hand in a gentle grip and took me back to my apartment.
I tried getting myself out of his grip, but his grip was firm, not hurting, not painful, just firm.
"Let me go, Luca! Cecily and her baby are hurt because of me! I need to go to them! I need to apologize before it's too late!" I tried getting out of his grip, pulling my hand from him, pushing him away...doing everything I could yet he still had his strong grip on me.
"Laurel calm down! Cecily is alright!" As soon as those words left his mouth, I kind of calmed down.
"What?" I asked, still not perfectly in my senses.
"She is perfectly fine, I just talked with Cassian, Cecily and her daughter, both of them are perfectly fine and she in fact has came back to her apartment too, all healthy with her daughter!" His voice was very soft, and gentle.
"Come on, go in your room, and take rest, I rushed here as soon as I got to know about everything, I was worried about you...now go and rest, your body still feels a bit warm to me." Making me stand closer to my apartment, he waited till I walked in before walking back to the elevator.
I don't know why, but my heart, it was beating very loudly, raising my left hand, I stared at it, rubbing my wrist where he had held me, maybe I was imagining things, or was I actually feeling Luca's grip constantly on my wrist.
And I could feel myself shuddering just by the thought of it.
What was this? Why was I feeling this?
Barely an hour had passed when the doorbell rang.
Luca!
Very excitedly I rushed to the door and opened it quickly, but to my surprise it was some, middle aged woman, as she was holding two big bouquets of flowers, one had baby pink roses, while the other had full white roses.
I was confused looking at the woman.
"How may I help you?" I asked the woman with a smile.
"Are you Ms. Laurel Miller?" She asked.
"Yes, I am, but do I know you?" I asked after a generous amount of quiet.
"Actually, Ms. Cecily, and Mr. Cassian have sent these for you." The woman passed the bouquets to me.
"Pardon?" I was confused to why would they both send me bouquets especially Cassian.
Looking at both the bouquets, I stared at the card both of them had, the one with light pink roses had a thank you card and the other white rose bouquet had a sorry card.
I had guessed to why they had sent me the bouquets, as I just accepted the thank you roses and sent back the sorry ones.
I wasn't like this usually, I wasn't the kind of person who holds grudges, unfortunately this time, it really did hurt.
Taking the flowers, I arranged them in a vase and then went to my couch.
My thoughts again disrupted by the mornings dispute, and I began going through all those posts again.
Who? Who did it?
I kept reading the post again and again.
The comments were filled with negativity and hate towards Laurel Miller, towards me.
She is selfish, rude.
She is a bitch.
She is a pathetic bitch.
Tears again filled my eyes, my heart, was feeling very low,
And I don't know why, but I was remembered the moment from yesterday, when I was breaking down and Luca handled me, he fixed me within a second like a pro.
Held me, like maybe no one ever did, and I don't know why, but I was feeling empty, thinking about him, why? I don't know.
I sighed, wiping the tears away, life had been tough for me always, when I was born, when became a toddler, or when I grew up and began understanding that I wasn't ever wanted by my own family, It was never easy.
But I think it was for the better, at least, I didn't had to live like those who who are cursed by their parents while living together with them.
I shook all the thoughts.
I need to do something, if I keep sitting like this, I would most probably keep panicking the same for Cecily and her daughter.
How about I pay a visit to Cecily, I will ask about her health too.
Then it's decided!
Let's go to meet Cecily and her daughter.
