Love Me As I Am novel Chapter 69

*Laura Point Of View*

"I will leave you two to catch up," the man said and he left. Great! Cody's eyes flashed to me and I shifted back wards.

"Laura, I can explain..." He trailed off and huffed. He walked over to the bed and sat down.

"My father has been watching you since. I think he even planned for you to enter the orphanage. Immediately you did, he sent me there too. He was bent on getting to you. He made me do it and I agreed at first, but, when I got to know you, I regretted" he looked over to me.

"My father would have found another way to get to you if you didn't come here with..Gabriel," he spat out bitterly.

"What do you want?" I acted calmly but deep down I was heartbroken.

"I know that you won't believe me but I mean you no harm. I won't let him harm you," he assured.

"Thank you but I'm okay. You've done enough," I simply stated and he stood up.

"Please!!" He pleaded. "I think you should go," I said staring at the ground.

"Is it bad to be his son? Laura? Please just let me help you! Yeah, I had a bad intention but not anymore," he exclaimed.

"I'm sorry, but, I don't know who to trust anymore," I sniffed and hugged myself closer.

"But you can trust me," he reached out to me but I shifted away and he stepped back.

"I'm sorry!" I whispered as I looked up to him, tears blinding my view. He walked out of the room and I was left to cry alone in the cold.

*Third Person's Pnt Of View*

Laura fell asleep on that chair. Her body snuggled together. She cried herself to sleep after thinking about her life.

Meanwhile, her kidnapper was sound alseep, snoring deeply in his room.

However, Cody was still awake, trying to find the best way to sleep.

All his mind could think about was her, Laura! The one who got away..

He really liked her but he couldn't get her. Her heart is with Gabriel...

Gabriel!!! That name that he hated so much and despite his charms he was so stupid. He hated him so much.

Knowing that anytime from now he wouldn't sleep, he crawled put of bed and hurried down stairs.

He made sure that he didn't make a noise. Cause his dad is a light sleeper.

He almost cursed himself when he stepped on the last stair and it creaked.

Oh well! He thought as he walked to the fridge to get food. If he wasn't going to bed now he should at least eat!!!

On the other hand, his father shot out of bed as he heard footsteps. Cody wasn't careful enough but he did not know about this.. He thought Laura had escaped so he hurried downstairs in a quiet manner. The most silent of all!

He had the intention of grabbing something but thought otherwise. So he went empty handed, but was prepared.
