THE FORTUNATES

LAURA'S ROLE

Kendrick and Hera's mother left the mansion without Beatrice, and Kendrick persuaded her to stay. Kendrick's mother was relieved, there is hope if indeed what is being talked about out there is a true – misunderstanding.

Cring.. Cring.. Crates

Kendrick's HP voice rang out loud from the table in the sitting room of the couple's room. While the HP owner was taking a shower, Beatrice approached the phone that was still roaring – roaring loudly. Look at someone who's calling Kendrick.

The deg!

“ Mother. “ Beatrice whispers slowly when she sees her Mother's name above Kendrick's HP screen.

“ Surely I also read the news that is hot – this hot. “ Beatrice monologues with herself.

“ Hello, Mother? “ Beatrice's voice is made as loud as possible when answering her Mother's call.

“ Beatrice? That's you? What's going on, son? Where's Kendrick? “ Without pause Mother Beatrice searches her son with many questions.

“ Yes ma'am, this is Beatrice. Kendrick's in the shower, what's wrong, ma'am? “ Beatrice actually knows, surely her mother wants to ask Kendrick news issues at this time.

“ Is everything good – is good Beatrice? “ By heart – hearts Mother Beatrice asks.

“ Yes Mom, everything is good – is fine. All that is reported is not true ma'am, wait for clarification directly from Kendrick management only yes ma'am. Never believe a fake news story, Mom. “ Beatrice tries to hold back her turbulent heart, she tries not to cry.

“ You didn't lie did Beatrice? “ Beatrice's mother sounded sanctioned when she heard her eldest son's explanation.

“ Do you want to talk directly to Kendrick? She seems to have finished taking a bath, Mom. “ Beatrice offers as she watches Kendrick open the bathroom door.

“ Oh Yes.” Beatrice then presses the speaker button on the phone's screen.

“ Baby, Mom calls. “ Beatrice said cheerfully as she held out the HP to her husband.

“ Hello Mom? How are you doing? “ Sapa Kendrick on her Mother-in-law while looking towards Beatrice full of regret.

“ Ken, is all good – okay? Can we trust you? “ Ask Mother Beatrice without talking – stale. Beatrice nodded her head slowly, hinting that Kendrick would agree to her mother's question.

“ Yes ma'am, all good – fine. They did it on purpose because I was releasing a new movie, and someone deliberately made the fake news Mom. “ Said Kendrick covering up his mistake.

“ Thank goodness, Dad was very angry when he heard the news. I really hope the news isn't true. Remember your promise to Dad and Mom to make Beatrice happy, right Ken? “ Mother Beatrice sounds still worried.

“ Of course Mom, I will never forget. “ Kendrick's voice sounded heavy, as if she was holding back a cry.

“ Alright if so, we connect again later. Take care of Beatrice properly Yes Ken.” Moments later Beatrice hung up her phone call.

***

That night Travis is seen sitting in the family room inside Kendrick's house, while Clovis has just come with Laura and Dami. Shortly after Clovis' arrival, Kendrick appeared to descend on those who had gathered in his house to find out what was really going on.

“ Did you read the news today? “ Travis asked the employee and both nodded.

“ Laura, on the day of Beatrice's attack what do you do it looks like you're on leave, right? “ Arrived – just arrived Travis threw a question at Laura.

“ Oh? I have family business, sir. “ Laura answered briefly while Travis only nodded – nodding his head assenting Laura's answer.

“ Then last night? How did you escape leaving Kendrick alone? “ Travis back to corner Laura.

“ I'm sorry Sir, I was drunk last night. “ Laura lowered her head full of regret.

“ Do you realize if you have made a fatal mistake? “ Connect Travis again. Kendrick looked at Clovis questioningly, the handsome actor looked very confused when he saw Travis' attitude that tended to corner Laura that night.

“ Yes Sir, I was drunk and did not keep an eye on Mr. Kendrick. So the news of Mr. Kendrick sleeping with Miss Regina came up. “ Said Laura while lowering her head listlessly.

“ Regina? How do you know it's Regina? There is nothing in the news that says that the woman is Regina. “ Travis looked at Laura fixedly as she crossed her hands over her field chest.

“ Yes Lau, how did you know it was Regina? “ Kendrick looked at Laura's face which now looked pias.

“ Then, how come – arrived I brought my own wallet? “ Connect Kendrick again.

Laura was silent as if trying to find the right answer to the question – questions that cornered her. He misspoke, said – his word became a bombardment for himself.

“ You can't explain? Then what about this? “ Travis grabbed a few photos from inside his suit pocket.

Kendrick seemed confused when he saw Travis throw some photos on the table. The man preceded Laura to pick up the – sheets of glossy, pictorial paper splashed on the table. He saw Laura there, with her red car parked near a bus stop not far from her house while clamping a cigarette with her – fingers.

“ That's the photo I got on the day of Beatrice's attack. Did you also take part? How did you not know Beatrice was attacked if you were at the scene?  “ Tanya Travis coldly to the woman who became his employee.

“ What? So this is the picture of my wife being the victim of Trav's assault? “ Travis' words ignite anger from within Kendrick.

“ How's Laura? Is there anything you should explain? Try saying it while I can forgive you. “ Travis' words sound sharp.

“ Laura! Don't you have a mouth?! “ Kendrick yelled at the woman while pushing Laura's body hard enough. The woman was crying, tears seemed to pour from her narrow eyes.

“ Sir, please forgive me. I'm sorry Sir. “ Laura slumped from the couch prostrating worship before Travis' feet.

“ Hah! So you did it right?! “ Kendrick's fiery eyes – fire, with anger he pulls Laura's body down on the floor. Kendrick almost threw his fist at Laura, but Clovis's hand brushed it off.

“ Ken! Calm yourself, let him explain everything. We need him to open his mouth.  “ Clovis also looked very upset that night.

Dami who does not know what – what looks lost word – said found the fact that Laura also had a role in the attack Beatrice. Travis only looked at the young lady with a sharp gaze that was ready to attack Laura at any moment.
