Really, for 2 years it seemed like she had to learn to be more patient with him. Justin always teased her when he wasn't working, and she wanted to kick him out of her life. Today he was working and Laura refused to go with him. Even earlier she had begged Justin not to go to his company.

It was late afternoon and he hadn't come home at all. Feeling bored, Laura walked around the mansion. Suddenly she saw a door that was different from the others and it caught her attention. Laura approached the door and opened it. The room was very dark. She looked for the light switch and pressed it. As the lights came on, Laura stared in disbelief at the room. It was a room, and it was neat.

Laura approached the dressing table and stroked it. One word for the room was dusty. The room seemed to have been locked for a long time so it was dusty. She looked at the frame on the table which was covered by a black cloth. Laura pulled the black cloth and lifted the frame. It was a picture of a very beautiful woman.

"What are you doing here?" The cold voice rang out.

Immediately Laura let go of the frame from her hand in shock. She turned around and found Justin staring at her with a sharp, cold gaze as if he wanted to kill her right then and there.

"Justin... Are you home?"

"What are you doing here?" Justin repeated in an even colder tone.

Laura lowered her head not daring to look at Justin. "I... I'm just bored so come here."

"Now you get in the room!" Justin snapped.

Laura nodded slowly and ran to her room leaving Justin staring at the broken frame. Memories of the past swirled back in his mind leaving a strong pain in his heart. Justin clenched his fists and walked out of there with pent up anger.

Justin went to Laura's room. He didn't know what he was going to do but he was furious now. His eyes were flashing with anger and his hands were clenched so tightly that his veins were visible. Justin entered Laura's room and walked over to where she was on the balcony with her back to him. Justin stood right behind Laura. He inhaled the scent of Laura's body that he loved so much and then hugged her waist from behind.

"Justin?" Laura called softly. She wanted to let go but Justin tightened his embrace.

"Leave it like this for a while," Justin whispered.

They hugged in silence for a few minutes. Until Justin said something that made Laura freeze when she heard it.

"Don't leave me," Justin whispered.

"Em, Justin..."

Justin released his embrace when Laura felt uncomfortable. He turned her around to face him. Justin looked deeply into Laura's eyes, making her nervous. "Justin, I'm sorry," Laura regretted.

"Syttt" Justin put his index finger on Laura's lips. "Don't bring it up please."

Laura was confused by Justin's 180 degree turn. Justin's nature was now very weak. However, she kept nodding her head. She even had the courage to rub his strong arm to calm him down. It was obvious on Justin's face that the man was not calm.

"Justin,"

"Hmm."

"I'm cold in here." Laura said embarrassedly.

Justin chuckled softly at Laura's shyness. He ruffled Laura's hair gently. "You're ruining the romantic atmosphere Laura."

Laura felt even more embarrassed, she just lowered her head to hide her cheeks which were definitely flushed.

Justin led Laura inside. He closed the door connecting the room to the balcony and then closed the window with the curtains.

"Lau, it's getting late. You should get some rest and..." Justin trailed off. He approached Laura and whispered in her ear, "I'm sorry about earlier."

Laura smiled slightly and nodded her head slowly. She understood what Justin meant. Laura looked at Justin's back as he left the room. She sighed and moved her body closer to the bed and lay down on it.

She looked up at the stars on the platform of her room. Laura picked up her cell phone on the nightstand and saw that there were no messages sent by Gabriel or Samuel. Laura smiled sadly at that. She put the phone back down and placed her hand over her closed eyes.

....

Sunlight streamed in through Laura's bedroom window. She woke up to the glare of the sun disturbing her sleep.

Laura opened her eyes and sat on the bed and stretched her arms on the nightstand. She covered her yawning mouth and got up from the bed.She walked to the bathroom to take a shower.

After the shower Laura left the room to go to the kitchen. Usually he was waiting for her in the kitchen. It wasn't what she expected because Justin wasn't there. Laura asked one of the waiters if Justin had had breakfast and left or what.

"Sir hasn't come out of his room since this morning, miss." The waiter said.

Laura frowned, usually the man was always out this early in the morning. It was very strange that he hadn't come out of his room at this hour. Laura decided to just wait there while looking at the servants who were doing their respective tasks.

15 minutes later, there was no sign of him. Laura went to Justin's room to check on him. At Justin's door, Laura knocked twice and opened it and went inside.

"Justin?" Laura called out.

There was no reply from Justin, but Laura could see the shape of a human body under the blanket. When she lifted the blanket, Justin was there, still asleep.

Laura wanted to shake the man's body to wake him up, but she decided against it when she touched Justin's hot skin. Her hands went straight to his forehead and neck, which were also hot.

"Oh my God!" Laura shrieked.

She rushed out of Justin's room and asked a passing maid to bring her some warm water and a cloth.

A man dressed all in black arrived. He approached Justin and Laura. "Miss, I heard you were sick."

"Yes Robby, I just found out too." Laura said with worry.

"I'll call the doctor." Robby said and got out of there.
