I beg you, he is going to kill me. Mandy cry more but Lauren didn't turn, Jack pushed her.

Your husband doesn't love you. Lauren pulled her immediately he pushed her, Mandy breath very fast, she is in tears.

Why thy fuck did you get there? Didn't I asked you to stay away from there? Lauren lashes out at her, she looks at him confused, after crying for awhile, she run to her room

Idiot! He slapped stone. Sorry boss!

And this idiot, you will also get same cut. Jack is scared, he just missed his chance of escaping, with the way Lauren is hitting him, he realized that a little patient, he would had be out of there and the man is in love with this girl.

Is Larry coming? She asked. No, I will take you there, so you should get dress

Mandy stand without a word, she start picking her stuff, Lauren pick the first aide and go out.

Larry is standing at the airport, his legs are aching already.

Where thy hell is this naughty girl? Larry asked no one, as he rest his head on his car, Tessa circle her hand around him.

Sorry, there is a delay. Tessa said, he didn't say anything, he walked back to the car, Tessa also enter the car, he didn't open the door for her.

I am sorry handsome, fine, I didn't leave on time and I lie about my time of departure, I just don't want you to delay before coming. He still didn't say a word, she pulled her mouth to his ear.

You want to spoil your handsome face. He smiled, he look at her. Fine, I forgive you but don't do that next time.

Cross my heart. Tessa said as she try to bring out her headphones, she loves music, she could listen to that all day.

You don't want to fixed that, while I am here.

Fine, I will just keep it, tell me, how did Lauren ended up with that strange beauty?

So you saw the news? Larry asked as he turned the car.

Of cause, it's everywhere, it's like the marriage happen in Florida, I love that wedding gown of hers, that wedding gown is the wedding gown of the century, I love the way, she and Lauren dance, the girl is in love with...

No oh, she is in love with another and she is so fragile, I just felt sorry for her, she is easy going, beauty and intelligent, she is every man's... He paused and look at Tessa that is looking at him.

What?

You love your brother's wife. Tessa said. Hell no, I like her as a friend not girlfriend.

He sighed as he face his steering, Tessa laughed at him.

You look hilarious, when you try to defend yourself. Tessa pull his chin

Stop that. Larry said as he smiled, he ogle at her through the corner of his eyes

Hey your phone is ringing, is from Lauren.

Pick it. Larry said. Hello big bro! That is how Tessa call him, he is fun of Tessa too but his parents doesn't know that Larry is making friends with a low life, she is a poor girl but fortunate to attend same college with Larry, due to the fact that, she had scholarship.

Hey baby, where is that boyfriend of yours?

Boyfriend!

Larry dragged the phone, Lauren titter, he is the only one there.

Why are you calling?

Get yourself here, Mandy is mad at me, she doesn't even want to ride with me...

What did you do?

Don't asked just be here, in the next ten minutes. The line die off, Lauren is pacing at the hallway, Mandy had finished packing up, she walked to him and bow, that moment Larry drove in, Lauren and Mandy walked into the car, not a word from Mandy to Larry, which is unlike her, his eyes fall on Mandy's neck, he look at Lauren, the look made Lauren throw his face away.

What... He wanted to asked but his phone ring, Lauren grabbed it.

He is driving. He is straightforward with the caller and it Tessa.

Why did you answer my call?

I don't want to crash land because of a woman. Lauren said coming down from the car, he wanted to take Mandy's hand but she walked passed him, she used her scalf to cover the injury on her neck, getting to the door, his phone ring, it's Leah call.

Take her inside, I will be with you in awhile. When Larry and Mandy open the door, the petal was throw into Larry and Mandy instead of Lauren and Mandy.

Oops! Lisa said, Daniel stand in anger, Lauren hurry behind them, pushing Larry slightly from her.

Why is it that is your brother that is bring your wife into the family home? Daniel voice echo in the room in anger.

It wasn't him, I just want to pack my car. Lauren voice isn't friendly as well.

That is enough, come on daughter. Edward said, Mandy hugged her father, she can't get mad at her father, Noor and her father are the two people she can't stay mad at her, she doesn't take their actions into heart.

I missed you dad!

I missed you too. Mandy look at Susan, she doesn't know what to say to her, she just bow.

So is just your dad, you missed? Susan asked, so has not to raised eyebrows, Mandy have no choice than to hugged her.

Maybe, I should get a hug from my daughter in-law too. Mandy hugged Daniella, she smiled.

Let the celebration begins. Daniel said, Mandy and Lauren made tea for the family and every other person in there, that is part of the ritual, as they drink the tea, Sharon eyes fall on Mandy's neck.

Interesting! Sharon yelled, everyone looks at sharon.

I beg you don't start your act here. Susan try to stop Sharon from her tantrum.

Me, I am not the one causing trouble, did you two fight the very first day of your marriage? Lauren tea burst out of his mouth, Edward look at Mandy, it seems that, the injury became visible to everyone as soon as Sharon mentioned it, she try to pulled the scarf to cover her neck.

Are you hurting my daughter? Edward yelled, he could damn all consequences for the one he love, for his princess.

Honey stop! Susan said, Edward will not take it, Lauren look at Mandy

Don't tell me to stop are you hurting my...

No dad, he is not.

Then the injury on your neck? Sharon asked again, Lauren clenched his fist, he feel like struggling Sharon.

Go on and answer. Daniel yelled this time, Lauren is a young man that could do anything he want but disobeying his dad, the consequences is severe.

I... it's...

Why are you stuttering? Daniel asked. No he didn't, it just that I got involved with some hooligans who is running away from the cops, so he used me as a bait for escape, he mistakenly split my throat, as I was struggling to get free.

Larry stare at her, now he got the picture, Jack wanted to used her as a bait to escape and Lauren acted stubborn, so she get hurt in the process, is she assuredly defending the man, she is scared of.

Lauren could be stupid at times, how could he put Mandy on the line, Larry isn't happy but what can he do, the deed had already be done.
