Chapter five

Laura's POV

I've never seen Ken this mad before, I was so scared. I placed the phone on my left ear, forgetting how to speak, all I could do was tremble and cry.

"Hey. " I finally said.

"Hello, Laura are you ok babe?"

"Yes, I'm fine." I said.

"Are you sure? who are you with?" He asked, clearly not satisfied with my previous answer.

"I promise, I'm fine ok?"

"Alright sweetie, I'll call y-" and before I'm could hear what Sam had to say, the phone was snatched from my hand and next thing, it hits the wall and scattered on the floor. No, he didn't just break my phone.

I was speechless, didn't know what to say or even do, I just waited patiently.

After a minute or two, He finally spoke up.

"You lied to me, not once, but twice. " Ken said.

"I didn't lie, I swear." I defended.

"Be quiet!!... No more of your lies. Now your phone's broken, I'll see how you'll talk to your lover now."

"I'll be back. "he said and left.

It was about an hour, 30 mins he got back. He just stared at me as he walked in, he just kept staring at me. was he still angry? I thought.

"Ken, are you still mad at me?" I took a chance to ask.

"No I'm not. You should sleep, you'll be here for two or three days with me. " He said.

"No I wanna go home, don't wanna stay here any longer.".. I said.

"Sweetheart, you'll be smart enough not to argue with me, you've already gotten me angry enough for a day and if you get me mad, one more time, I won't hesitate to beat the crap outta you,,,so just be a good girl and sleep. " he said.

I don't know why, but I shivered at his words, no he wouldn't,, that's not my Ken. He'll never lay a finger on me, right?who am I kidding, I don't know him that much, to know he wouldn't.

He's already so bipolar, what if he's a physco, who knows?

I layed down on my back, not wanting to be used as a punching bag, and truly, I've gotten him mad enough for a day. And I didn't even know when I drifted off to sleep. Later at night, I felt the bed dip beside me, and in few seconds, I was wrapped by strong arms which gave me warmth through out the night. Best night ever.

Its been three days, since I've been at Ken's. Aunt Jessie was back home now. She's been very quiet,and I can swear I heard her crying in the middle of the night. In front of me, she acts all strong but I see this sadness in her eyes, and the way she looks at me with pity in her eyes. Ken's been giving me a lot of that look recently.

I was going home today, haven't heard from my parents, and nobody has talked about them this past days. I picked my shuttle bag, wore my shoes and went downstairs for breakfast before I leave. Aunt Jessie and Ken we're already at the table.

"Good morning Aunt, good morning Ken."

"Good morning to you too. " They both replied. After that, we all ate in silence.

After we finished, I stood up to leave.

"Laura my child, seat. We have something to say to you. "Aunt Jessie said.

"Ok, I'm all ears. "I said.

"You see, we were all born, to die someday, you know right?"

"Of course I do, but why are you telling me this?" I asked, getting interested at were this was going.

"You see my child, your parents kicked a bucket."

"Ok, so?" I said, wait!!!..... that's a figure of speech, euphemism I guess,,,, no it couldn't, don't think of bad things, it couldn't possibly be that, no way!!!.

"Aunt, so I don't quite follow, can you trow more light?"

"Laura your parents are dead." She said, already Crying by now.

I just went still, my whole world stopped. My sweet Mommy, even if Dad was sometimes too cold towards me, I still loved him. I couldn't speak, I couldn't cry I just sat there.

After sometime, I felt something on my arm, I looked to see Ken in front of me.

"Baby, its ok to cry, if you want. I'll be here all the way to wipe your tears away. " he said.

I couldn't, I couldn't cry.... I can't even explain what I am feeling right now.

"When?" I asked

"When what?" Ken asked.

"When did they die? "

"On the day you got missing, they we're on thier way here to see you when they met an accident, Your dad died at the spot because of his weak heart condition, but your Mum was rushed to the hospital, but she couldn't make it." "Baby, I'm so sorry, he said hugging me so tight." So it was me all along, I killed them. they gave me life, care and love but I snatched thiers from them. I don't deserve to Cry, I don't even deserve to be loved I'm an evil person. I killed the very person I loved the most, My first love, my Mummy.....

"Take me home, I said, are my brothers aware?"

"Yes, they've been asking for you. "My aunt told me.

We were now driving towards my house, about five minutes before we reached. I still haven't shed a tear,all what was in my head, was I wish I hadn't been rebellious, I wish I listened to them then they wouldn't be dead. We were home now, I entered the living room to find my Brothers, two unknown ladies and Our family lawyer.

"Welcome miss."the lawyer said to me. I just nodded in response.

Jason, the younger twin, got up and hugged me, while Troy just looked away. I went and sat beside Ken.

"Its a good thing, Miss Jacobs you're here also." The lawyer said to Aunt Jessie. "Since you all here now, may we proceed with the will reading."

Everyone chanted in agreement.

It was just a simply will, and he was done in 30 minutes.

It states, that 50% of my parents assets, we're to be given to me, and the other 50%, be shared equally between my elder brothers. And also aunt Jessie, is to adopt me if in case something happened to them and I'm still underage.

"This is unacceptable, she can't always get everything." Troy shouted.

" Calm down bro, Jason said. Turning to the lawyer, Sir please, check again, they must be a mistake somewhere."

"Mr Spencers, I'm very sure they ain't any mistakes. Mr and Mrs Spencers were very clear about thier instructions. "

"Of course, it always has to be about her, even if she killed them."The brown haired besides Troy said.

"And who are you to talk that way to her, Bitch?" Ken asked.

Ken,, watch your language young man. " Aunt Jessie said. "She didn't kill them, and you have no right to speak to her, you ain't Family."

"She's more family than you are, don't speak to my wife that way." Troy fired back.

"Since when you got married, and no one knew?" Ken asked

"Its not like anyone would have been interested, since all they care about, is thier little "princess". " He said emphasizing on the princess to express its real meaning.

"Are you also married? "Aunt Jessie asked Jason, looking between him and the black haire. "No, not yet, she's my fiance." Wow, just wow and we never knew about this, not even Mum. I hadn't said anything all along, just observing, and letting Aunt and Ken talk in my stead. Not until my asshole of an elder brother said. "Well Laurie dearest, its a good thing you killed them bitch, because I was gonna kill them sooner or later." Alright that's it!!!. I stood up, pointing my finger at him. "You are very stupid for saying that, its a shame I share blood with someone as deranged as you, you're so evil,, you never really cared, you were just pretending all along. Now, since this is now my house, I want you to take that psycho of yours, you call a wife and leave my house now, and never to return, or I'm calling the cops."

"I'm outta here , eat your stupid house." Taking the wife, by the arm he left.

"Laurie, baby, we'll be leaving now too, I'll come visit sometime ok?" Jason said,kissing my forehead. "I'm so sorry for you loss laurie. " His fiance said. I'm Elizabeth, but call me Lizzie, she hugged me and they both left.

After the documents for my adoption, were all signed, my lawyer left leaving My aunt, Ken and I. We sat in silence, not saying nothing to each other.

Aunt Jessie broke the Silence,"Laurie baby, how do you feel to officially be my daughter?"

"I'll love to be your daughter, Mom."...
