A One Night Stand With Mr. Goldman

Allen POV

.

When I saw Laurel and Tiara dancing on the dance floor I felt jealous.

Even with is bad character and temperament, He will always end up having the best of everything.

That from the women, power, Popularity for being the most influential Business man among the other business men here in Los Angeles.

And not to talk about the fact that he is the person controlling the family properties.

He is also been feared by many people in the business world, and here I am, after I have been living with them for the past 25 years his father could not give me some of the properties.

he gave everything to his stingy son and gave me just 10 million dollars to use and start up my own company.

“I walked to where Laurel and Tiara were dancing and asked Tiara for a dance.

But she refused saying that she was tired and I could understand because of the look and the way Laurel held her hands too tide. Which was a sign that he didn’t want me to dance with Tiara.

As they both went to their seats. I was very angry.

How dare him refuse me from dancing with his wife. I had the right to dance with her today but he refused.

That is why I hate him because he always make me feel that I am below him in every aspect of our lives.

He even had the mind to advice me to go get married.

Let him not worry for I will get married and I will get married to his wife. Let him just wait it is just a matter of time.

I just can’t wait for him to die, so I can have his wife all to myself.

I love that Tiara of a girl.

She is not only pretty but also innocent with a caring attitude and she also looks smart.

That is what makes me love her, and I can feel that she loves me too but the presents of Laurel is making afraid to tell me how she feels.

That is why I can’t wait for him to die so I can take everything away from him including his wife.

By now he should have fallen, I don’t know why he is not doing that or is it that the waiter didn’t put the drugs in his wine as planned? I asked no one but myself.

But shortly after I could hear him coughing and Tiara asking the waiters for a glass of water.

Finally, that bastard is going to die.

What was he even thinking? That he could control the whole of Los Angeles alone?

He doesn’t know I am always a step ahead of him.

For him, he thinks he has enemies only outside not knowing some members of his family hate him even more than the enemies he has outside.

Dad, please call the doctor. Karl can’t stop coughing.

I heard Tiara saying to my stepfather as he immediately called for the family doctor.

fear was written all over my step father face and that got me wondering if he will one day get worried about me like the way he is right now for that bastard but for now that is not the problem.

I walked to where my mother was standing with her husband. Excuse her so we could go somewhere and discuss.

Mom, our dreams are finally coming to pass and very soon everything will belong to us.

I can’t wait for him to finally die so we can live in peace with no problems.

I hope you have clean all your tracks because I don’t want the incident to backfire on us. My mother asked (Nina)

Don’t worry Mom, I have done that already.

I just gave that waiter 1 million dollars and she promised to keep her mouth quiet.

And, by the way, no one will suspect her since it was only the three of us there.

A few minutes later I heard Tiara begging Laurel to open his eyes and when I went forward to have a look at what is happening I saw Laurel lying on the floor unconscious.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I just couldn’t express how happy I was because of what I just saw.

The doctor came a little bit late. And he asked us to carry him to the room which we did and we carried him to his bed room, so the doctor could do a proper check up on him to see what is wrong with him.

When we were in his room Dad called one of the bodyguards and told him not to let anyone go out of the mansion.

And that got me to work up.

If no one lives that means that waiter won’t be able to go out and if they found out she is the culprit, I am sure she is going to expose us.

But to think of it I paid her a huge sum of money so she can’t betray me. If not she will be a living corpse. I said to myself and calmed down.

Laurel was already lying on the bed and the doctor was about to examine him when he turned and told everyone to step outside.

But Tiara refuses saying she wants to remain with her husband in the room.

but the doctor insisted that everyone should live the room.

And, if she stays she will be a distraction to his work. so it was better that she doesn’t stay in the room.

but she keeps refusing saying she wants to stay with her husband.

And that got me very angry, how can she insisted on staying inside this room with Laurel dead body?

There was some calmness when my mother walked up to her and advised her that it will be better that we all leave the room now so the doctor can do his work before it becomes too late.

that made her accept to step outside of the room.

I can’t just believe, does she love Laurel that much or is it that I am just dreaming?

Because I know that there is no way he will love Laurel so much even when he doesn’t reciprocate the love she has for him.

but she is still being concern about him or is just pretending so the guests at the party room will know how much she loves her husband?

Maybe it is her pregnancy hormones that are disturbing her.

We all came out of the room living just Laurel and the doctor inside the room.

My only prayer is for the doctor to come out and tell us that Laurel is dead so that my mother and I will be happy.

I know when that happens my stepfather will be in pain and he won’t be himself again but I know that my mother will be able to handle that part of him.

It’s been an hour since we left Laurel in the hands of that doctor but the doctor hasn’t come out and told us what is happening to him.

Just like how I was worried about why the doctor hadn’t come and informed us about his situation.

Laurel’s wife and father were deathly worried, especially his wife who tried to climb the stairs to go check up on her husband but was stopped by my mother who held her very strong so she couldn’t go.

A few minutes later the doctor came downstairs and Tiara asked him about Laurel’s health.

He told us that from his founding Laurel was poisoned and that got everyone shocked including the guests who attended the party.

Then my dad asked him if Laurel is truly okay.

And that’s the answer I have been waiting for him to answer.

Right now he is in a very critical situation, in fact he is in a coma and it is only prayers that can work on him.

If not, I am sorry we are going to lose him.

The doctor said and I could feel the sorrow in the eyes of Tiara and my Stepdad.

I must say they did love him but what I don’t understand is why they will love him more than the way they love me.

Doctor please can I go and see him? Tiara asked the doctor.

Am sorry but you can’t see him at the moment because he doesn’t need any disturbance from anyone he just needs to rest.

Have you forgotten I am his wife? so how will my presents be a disturbance to him? Tiara asked the doctor and the doctor was speechless.

But he recovered shortly after and told her that her husband just needed a little rest before she could get inside the house.

Please if you don’t mind me asking madam, did your husband eat anything today? The doctor asked Tiara

And it was like my heart just left my chest. Ohh no please, let her not be cut because if she get caught that will be all for my mom and me.

“No doctor Laurel didn’t eat anything today even when I begged him to eat something before the party was to start he refused saying he was not hungry. Tiara said to the doctor.

If he didn’t eat anything today then how was he poisoned? From my experience and examination the poison was a slow one. The doctor said,

Doctor, the only time I saw my husband putting something inside his mouth was the glass of wine that one of the waiters gave him. Tiara said.

That got my heart beating fast because I forgot that Tiara was present when that waiter gave Laurel a glass of wine.

I turned and looked at my mother and she was also looking at me but I didn’t know what to do until she decided to save our day.

Tiara, how can you suspect a waiter we hired to come here and serve our guests? Have you forgotten does waiters have been serving drinks to everyone at your party and nothing has happened to any of the guest and here you are accusing one of them?

Mom, I don’t hate that waiter neither am I angry nor do I have a problem with her.

but that doesn’t change the fact that she is the only person who gave my husband a glass of champagne in front of me.

I would have taken mine if not because of my pregnancy so I refused to drink my wine.

Tiara said and that made me scared but after I remembered what I had done I decided to feel free.

Dad, trust me, we can even ask the people who are in charge of the CCTV camera room so they can bring the footage, let’s see what really happened and if Laurel had something else apart from the wine.

After Tiara said that my stepdad immediately called one of the bodyguards to go get the CCTV footage of the party and bring it and he ended the call.

After a few minutes, the bodyguard came back and told everyone that there is no footage of the party.

What do you mean by there is no footage of the party? I asked

Sir, I am sorry but when I got there the people were sleeping and the camera were off. the bodyguard said

And I just smiled to myself as I turned and looked at my mom who was comforting her husband.

That means Tiara is right when she said everything was a plan to kill Laurel but there is no proof to back up here claim that it was one of the waiter.

And, thank God the person didn’t succeed. That all that matter now. My dad said

Dad, please there is something I will like to tell you. Tiara said to my stepfather who permitted her.

I know only my words can be enough to prove that the waiter was the person who poison Laurel, but I have another prove.

When she said that I was like which track did I leave behind this time.

“I don’t know if Laurel saw this coming or not but if I could remember very well he told me that most of his enemies always find ways to kill him doing parties or functions that is why he doesn’t like attending them.

But he had to attend this one because he was the person who organizes it for me and he knows they will likely plan to kill him again.

So he planned some hidden cameras in the party room and kitchen and they are all linked to his laptop so if anything happens to him we should check it out”. Tiara said to everyone.

Oh! No, my plan has been boosted. Why didn’t I think about this before planning to kill him together. Now I haven’t only fail to kill him but in a few seconds I will be exposed. I said to him.

I knew that my soon will never leave his enemies defeat him. Dad said

My dear, you go bring your husband’s laptop so we can find the culprit. Dad added.

God! Please let them be no hidden camera anywhere around here. I prayed in silence to the lord for the first time.

I walked to my mother and asked her what we are going to do if that waiter is found because she will expose us.

Mom told me not to worry she will come up with a plan.

After some time she asked me what if we kill the waiter so that she won’t be able to tell them the truth.

Mom, what if truly there are hidden cameras everywhere and if she plays it we will be expose without us having an opportunity to explain ourselves?

What if stepfather refuses to listen to what we have to say and sends us to prison? I asked my mom.

There is no way my husband won’t forgive us, if we just asked for his forgiveness.

You don’t know that man you call your husband. He will never forgive us, not after we tried killing his son.

He will, I am sure about that. My mother said to me.

Few minutes later Tiara came downstairs with Laurel’s laptop in her hands.
