Cursed By Fate

Before Jake could finish narrating what happened, Laura was already soaked in her tears. She trusted Mr. Jack didn’t expect that he would be aware of how her father died and wouldn’t tell her about it.

Laura walked out of the room and Carl followed her. ” Wait for me Laura ”

Laura didn’t stop until she was outside, gasping for air. She felt betrayed and hurt that Jack had known all along what had happened to her father and hadn’t told her. She couldn’t understand why he would keep such a secret from her.

Carl caught up with her and gently turned her around to face him. “Laura, I’m so sorry,” he said, his eyes filled with compassion. “I know how much you trusted Jack, and this must be a huge shock for you.”

Laura nodded, her tears streaming down her face. “I can’t believe he kept this from me,” she said, her voice shaking. “I thought he was a friend, a family friend.”

Carl pulled her into a hug, holding her tightly as she sobbed. “We’ll get through this together, Laura,” he whispered. “We’ll find out the truth, and we’ll make sure justice is served.”

After a few minutes, Laura pulled back, wiping her tears with her sleeve. “I want to go back inside and hear what Jack has to say,” she said, her voice firm.

Carl nodded. “Okay, let’s go.”

They walked back into the room, where Jack was still standing, looking pale and guilty. “Laura, please forgive me,” he said, his voice trembling. “I was trying to protect you.”

Laura’s eyes narrowed. “Protect me from what?” she demanded. “The truth?”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Jack nodded. “Yes, the truth. It’s not an easy thing to hear, Laura.”

Laura took a deep breath. “I want to hear it, Jack. I need to know what you are protecting me from. ”

” I’m trying to protect your mental health!! And I don’t want you to look at me like I’m a bad person” Mr Jack said.

” You are a bad person,” Laura said and walked away to where their car was packed.

Laura was already sitting in the car by the time Carl got there . ” pls Laura I don’t want you to think about what you just heard from Mr Jack because of your health and mental state ” Carl said and gave her his handkerchief to wipe her tears

” Don’t worry, I will be fine, ” Laura said, wiping her face.

They drove off to Laura’s place. Carolina was patiently waiting for them to arrive to be able to know what happened.

As they drove, Laura remained silent, her eyes fixed on the road ahead. Carl could see the hurt and betrayal still evident on her face. He knew she needed time to process what she had just learned.

When they arrived at Laura’s place, Carolina was waiting anxiously. “Hey, what happened?” she asked, noticing Laura’s red eyes.

Laura took a deep breath before explaining what Jack had revealed. Carolina listened attentively, her expression changing from concern to shock.

“I can’t believe Jack kept this from you,” Carolina said, shaking her head. “You deserve to know the truth, Laura.”

Laura nodded, her eyes welling up again. “I know. And I’m going to find out what happened to my father, no matter what it takes.”

Carl put his arm around her shoulders. “We’ll do it together, Laura. We’ll get to the bottom of this.”

Carolina nodded in agreement. “We’re all in this together. And we won’t rest until justice is served.”

The three of them sat in silence for a moment, collecting their thoughts. Then, Laura spoke up.

“Let’s get to work. We have a lot of investigating to do.”

And with that, they began their quest for truth and justice, determined to uncover the secrets surrounding Laura’s father’s death.

After so many investigations and all, Carl got to know that his stepbrother was the one behind Laura’s father’s death. Though he killed the man as part of the moon pack who was heartless.

Carl didn’t tell Laura and Carolina that his stepbrother was the one who killed her father but he decided to tell Laura when they were alone.

It was a stressful day for them so they went out to eat dinner before Carl drove home. Laura was finding it hard to sleep because of what happened earlier that day. She stood up from her bed and went to the balcony outside to enjoy the view of the stars and beautiful night.

Suddenly she felt the urge to talk to someone so she decided to give Carl a call even though she was not so sure he was awake.

After ringing multiple times, Carl who was asleep and tired from the stress he went through earlier that day picked up the call immediately he saw Laura was the one calling. ”

” Babe, why are you not asleep by this time of the day after going through stress?” Carl asked with a sleepy and tired voice.

” I’m so sorry I woke you up ” Laura apologized.

“It’s fine, babe. Is anything the matter?” He asked.

Laura smiled and blushed at the sound of her boyfriend’s sleepy voice. She began to imagine the way he looked when asleep ” he is so cute “.

” I’m finding it hard to sleep today after everything that had happened and I needed to talk to someone. That was why I called,” Laura said.

Carl can feel her pain. A normal human being won’t be able to sleep after hearing that kind of stuff. ” Don’t worry babe, I’m always here for you ” Carl said.

“I think I should leave you to go and sleep, ” Laura said.

” No I will be here till you fall asleep, ” Carl said sitting up on his bed.

” Nah, you shouldn’t do that. I will be fine as soon as I view the sky and the stars enough ” Laura chuckled.

“I insist. Since I’m not there with you physically I should be able to be here with you over the phone at least ” Carl insisted.

They talked throughout the night till Laura said she was feeling sleepy.
