THE LIFE OF LAURA

The morning had dawned, Laura had just finished bathing in Florence's aid. Last night he slept very soundly as if he had a new soul that had just been reborn. His body felt vibrant and healthy although still feeling pain but only a little.

Dante put Laura to sleep in the guest room. While Florence sleeps one room with Dante's servant, a middle-aged woman named Zora. Zora usually only comes in the morning and goes home in the afternoon. But last night Alex called her to stay at her boss's apartment and set up a guest room.

Zora is a very friendly woman and helped Laura as well last night. Zora is a fan of Laura. She loves the role of Laura's antagonist. While Dante's room is on the second floor of the luxury apartment.

Laura looked at her face in front of the ornamental table. Florence helps Laura tie her hair. Laura's body is now much better than yesterday, the cuts and bruises on her face are only partially visible, some are dry no more open and wet wounds. All thanks to the cream given by doctor Hudini.

laura's legs also no longer feel sore when planted, but while walking her legs are still limping.

Florence changed the bandage on Laura's shoulder. She also helped Laura wear a white spaghetti tank top and soft cotton short pants. Before that Florence rubbed cream on the wounds on the back of Laura's body due to the lashings of the Escobar belt. Now Laura doesn't feel the pain anymore.

His face looked fresher, unlike yesterday.

"Florence, will you help me in the pantry? I'll make breakfast" Laura said in a soft voice.

"Of course, miss. Hm...can the lady cook?", asked Florence a little doubt Laura's ability. Because he knew Laura was an artist who looked very glamorous. Very different from today. Laura was like a housewife in general. He even wants to cook.

"Yes. You should try my cooking and then you can be honest about the taste. But you have to help me because I can only use one hand" Laura smiled.

"Fine miss. Then let's get to the pantry" Florence replied smiling as she helped Laura stand up and walk. But Laura refused him the maid's help.

"I have to practice moving my body now. Let's see your boss has anything in the pantry" said Laura smiling.

"Good morning Miss Laura", said Zora, who was preparing a drink for Dante.

"For aunt Zora. HM.the aroma of coffee is very fragrant. What's aunt doing?"

"Espresso machiatto, Coffee with a little shaken milk mixture. It tastes a little bit bitter. Mr. Dante really likes it. Every morning you always ask for milk coffee like this. If the afternoon you usually drink lemon juice while exercising" said Zora. While making drinks.

"Auntie, can I have breakfast this morning? Florence will help me. Aunty can do other chores" asked Laura asking Zora for permission.

Zora smiled hearing that. "Of course I can, baby. But does the lady's body no longer hurt? Later aunty can be angry sir if the condition of the lady deteriorates".

"I'm fine, aunt. HM...Dante likes what kind of breakfast?", asked Laura.

"Master usually likes sandwiches with cheese and meat or eggs" Zora replied.

"Okay, now the aunt continues the other work. Breakfast business let me make it. We share our duties, so that I don't feel like I'm living here" Laura said with a funny face.

After the deal with Zora Laura, Florence helped him in the pantry.

What she could do on her own Laura would not ask Florence for help. But when the difficulty because the left shoulder still hurts, Laura just asked Florence for help.

"Miss makes what?", asked Florence while making bread dough according to Laura's instructions.

Dante sprayed Citrus-scented perfume on his athletic body. Then put up an expensive watch. Once again he looked at his appearance in front of a large mirror in his room that was shades of blue and gray.

Dante picked up his phone and iPad in the nightstand and left the room to have breakfast below.

When down the stairs netra her caught the figure of Laura who still seemed limping arranging food on the table. Laura looked different this morning in Dante's eyes. The girl looked fresher not as pale as yesterday, but not as well as when Dante usually saw Laura coming to his club. With thick makeup and dressing that exposed part of her body.

Laura who was in her current apartment was like an ordinary young girl her age. With what home clothes are. Her face was plain and untouched by makeup, while her hair was tied up. Dante looked at Laura.

"Good morning sir", said Florence, who had just stepped out of the pantry and saw Dante coming down the stairs.

"Again", replied Dante with a faint smile.

"What are you doing? Don't you still have a lot of rest?", asked Dante at a glance staring at Laura who poured espresso and gave a glass in front of Dante.

"I'm helping Aunt Zora in the pantry. I don't feel good if I just keep quiet, Dante. I'm like a prick. You already have me in your apartment" said Laura sipping espresso made by Zora. "HM. I had to learn how to make this drink to Aunt Zora" Laura smiled sweetly.

Dante looked at him while frowning his brows. Dante bit his sandwich. Zora was about to climb the stairs to her room. "Your sandwich feels different to Zora" said Dante, eating voraciously.

"Miss Laura made him master. I have forbidden it but Miss Laura insisted", replied Zora.

"Oh yeah? You can cook?", asked Dante looking at Laura who was sitting in front of him while sipping espresso.

"Cooking is a hobby I should leave behind. My father taught me to cook. My father was a chef, he owned a restaurant. The restaurant is not a fancy restaurant. When I was fifteen my parents divorced. I was with my mother, while my father was back in his native Australia. Since then I have been banned from my mother in the kitchen. His ambition is to make me a famous artist. In the end I followed his will and buried deep in my dream of owning a restaurant like daddy".

Dante told Laura's story. "Why don't you just go both ways to become an artist who owns a restaurant?".

"You don't know my mother. Antoinette is very ambitious. Look at what I'm like now. He sold me to Escobar, even the man showed me the letter his mother signed. Escobar paid a lot of money to mommy. That afternoon I saw him packing with all his belongings. He said, get investors for his business" said Laura with teary eyes.

"And stupidly I ended up stuck and followed all her will. In fact, he often said I was stupid like my father", said Laura while turning her face away. Slowly, his hands wiped his tears.

Dante saw the deep pain the girl felt. Dante's heart warms to hear Laura's life story. It turned out that his life was tormented always under the pressure of Antoinette. Inner Dante.

Dante spontaneously clasped Laura's hand. "Calm yourself. You better eat and take your medicine. I have to go to the office now because there's a meeting. Ten o'clock my driver will pick you up. No need to worry the bodyguard will escort you. Xavi and his team will accompany you on a visa" said Dante, releasing his hand and standing up. "Thank you for the breakfast, it was delicious. I like it" Dante said with a smile.

Laura replied with a smile as well. "Thank you for everything Dante" said Laura staring at Dante's wide back out of the luxury apartment.
