Our Chance

Chapter 9

When I left my parents' place, I called my private investigator to find Laura and report to me her daily activities.

Before I left my mom's place, mom refuses to talk to me, she said until I do what she asked me to do she will never talk to me and I must apologize to Laura in front of her.

A month later, my private investigator whose name is Brian reported that she found her details.

"Good morning sir" He greets me

"Did you find anything about her?" I asked him.

"Yes, her full name is Laura Angel William, she lives in......." I am not interested in all that.

"Save that bull s**t I don't all that. Tell me what she has been doing" I told him

He explained everything to me, how she spends some time with her friend and hunting for another job for some days before she gets a job at a restaurant. He told me everywhere she went and all she did.

I told him to hire one of his trusted men or he does it by himself to make sure Laura lost that job and not to get another job until I told them to stop. I also told him to inform me of all her moves and everything she does.

Some weeks later I went to my parents' house but my mom did not talk to me, she still insists on apologizing to Laura before she can talk to me.

How can I apologize to that good for nothing useless maid?

"Mom, how can I apologize to her?" I said to her

"Why can't you apologize to her? She asked

"Did you forget that she slapped me? She is the one that supposed to apologize to me"

"Are you not the one who insulted her first? I saw everything that happened Luca" She shook her head at me "I am highly disappointed in you, instead of you protecting your workers, you are paying her to allow your friend to f**k her" She huffed at me and walk away but not before she told me to get out and I should not forget to lock the door on my way out.

I am on my way to my house when Brian called me that he has been doing what I ask him to do, today Laura lost the job that she started this morning and she sat by the roadside crying while her friend is with her but now they are in the bar and Laura is drunk.

I turned my car around and went to the bar that Laura is. When I get there I take a seat a little bit away from her so that she will not see me, I saw her with her friend she is drunk and at the same time crying blabbing rubbish about how she can't get a job, she even asks her friend if someone deliberately punishing her.

This is how miserable I want you to be Laura, next time you will think twice before you mess with me.

LAURA P.O.V

I wake up with a throbbing headache, I stand up and head to the bathroom to clean up, after that I get dressed and went to the living room and I saw Stacy cooking in the kitchen. I put my hand on my head as if I am holding my head not to fall as I approach Stacy in the kitchen.

"I can see that someone is having a hangover," Stacy said while preparing a scrambled egg with cheese.

"You have no idea, I feel like an elephant stamping his feet on my head," I said sitting on a chair and put my head on the kitchen counter.

"Sorry babe that is what happens after a good night out at the bar," She said pointing to water and pills on the counter.

"That is not a good night out for me, it is a miserable night out," I told her and started laughing.

I put the pills in my mouth and wash them down with water. I made my way to the living room and lie down on the couch. After she finishes preparing breakfast she told me to stand up and come and eat.

"How are you feeling now," She asked me

"I am fine" After eating, she told me to keep my mind at rest that I will see another job very soon. she cleans the dishes and told me that she wants to go and visit her boyfriend and she did not want to leave me alone because she knows what I will do. I told her to go and enjoy herself and assure her that I will be fine.

Two days later, I went out to look for another work but all are saying the same thing.

Today I decided to be at home and clean all my apartment just to make myself busy not be depressed if I am alone but first I went to the supermarket to do some grocery shopping. When I get back home I think should cook something for lunch before I started the cleaning because I may be tired when I finish cleaning and end up with junk food which I am trying to stay away from.

I decided to make a chicken stir fry with rice, I connect my phone with Bluetooth to listen to music and I take out all the ingredients I need and started cooking.

After I finish cooking, rest for like 20 minutes and start the cleaning, I start from my bedroom then my bathroom, after that I went to the other room and clean everything.

Later I head to the living room and decided to make the kitchen the last place. I shift the couch to the other side and clean under it before I return it to the normal place, then I dust all the furniture while doing that I dance to the music I am playing on my phone.

While cleaning the living room, I heard a knock on my door and wonder who will that be because I am not expecting anyone and if it is Stacy she has my apartment key with her.

I leave what I am doing and decided to open the door but to my surprise, it turns out to be the person I never expected.
