Page 32 of Can't Stop the Love of A Boss: Part 2

“Wait a minute. If you don’t have other kids, then that means,” she cut her own words off as she looked at her mother. Laura stood there, and for the first time, she actually shed tears in front of her daughter. “Where is she, Mommy?” Lawrynn asked.

“You have to understand that I was young. I thought if I did it that he would stay with me, but he left us anyway. I did it for him, I did it for love,” Laura said, crying and moving her hands all around.

Hearing all of the commotion, Murder finally came out of the man cave to make sure nothing happened to Lawrynn.

“Where is my sister, Mommy?” Lawrynn asked again.

“Please don’t hate me. I never thought things would turn out like this. I thought everything would be different,” Laura said.

“Stop fucking stalling and tell her who and where her fucking sister is!” Kelvin yelled. The vibration of his deep voice caused everyone to shake with fear, especially Laura.

“The hospital. Your sister is in the hospital,” Laura said.

Kelvin and Murder looked at each other, knowing exactly who she was talking about. Murder shook his head because it was exactly w

ho he thought it was. This shit was getting more and more ridiculous by the minute. Murder had lost what little respect he had for Laura just that quick. No, it wasn’t much, but at least before now, Lawrynn could’ve possibly convinced him to at least speak to her again. After this shit, there would be no speaking or anything coming from Murder. Even with him planning to marry her daughter, there would be no communication between him and his future mother-in-law.

“Why is she in the hospital? What’s wrong with her?” Lawrynn asked.

“Start fucking talking, Laura!” Kelvin said and stepped closer to her.

“I’m so sorry, baby. Please forgive me. I swear I didn’t know things would turn out like this. I promise you I didn’t,” Laura cried as best she could.

“Fine, Nikki’s not your cousin, she’s your sister. The sister that your mother cheated on me to make then tried to give away, thinking that would make me stay,” Kelvin said while still eyeballing Laura.

Laura released gut wrenching sobs as her daughter looked at her and tried to digest what was just said to her.

“Wait a minute. No, hold on. Nikki is my sister, as in my blood sister?” Lawrynn asked. The moment she asked that question, she felt Murder wrap his arms around her. She stepped out of his hold and away from everyone’s reach. “Is it true?” she asked her mother.

Laura continued to sob but shook her head up and down.

“Lawrynn, calm down,” Murder said as he watched her bite her bottom lip.

“All this time you knew and never said anything. You still stayed quiet after she attacked me. Even when she slept with my boyfriend and slept with everybody’s man. You didn’t say one damn word. Does she know?” Lawrynn asked. Laura shook her head from side to side. Lawrynn walked over to her mother and slapped the shit out of her. HOW FUCKING COULD YOU DO THIS TO US? NOT JUST ME, YOU DID THIS TO ALL OF US. DON’T TRY TO PUT THIS ON ANYBODY ELSE EITHER. YOU AND YOUR FUCKING SECRETS. WAS IT WORTH IT?” Lawrynn asked while screaming her head off.

“All he had to do was stay. If he would’ve stayed, everything would be alright. He wasn’t supposed to leave,” Laura cried out.

“Don’t put this shit on me. If you wouldn’t have fucked my best friend, I would’ve stayed. I loved you so much that I had to leave town and not come back. That’s how bad you fucking hurt me,” Kelvin said.

“I can’t believe you did this. That’s why you were treating her like she was your daughter; because she really is. This shit is fucking crazy. How the hell is this supposed to work? Sister or not, I hate her ass. She’s tried to make my life a living hell for as long as I can remember. My sister is a big ass hoe,”: Lawrynn said.

Before she knew what was happening, she felt Laura’s hand against her cheek. Once she felt the slap from her mother, it was as if time stood still. In a blink of an eye, Lawrynn’s father had lifted her mother off the ground by her neck.

“If you ever in your fucking life put a damn hand on my daughter again, I will fucking kill you. Do you fucking hear me? I don’t give a shit if you did bring her in this world. Don’t you ever put your hands on her again, you grimy bitch,” he said directly in her face. He was in such a rage that spit flew everywhere as he spoke.

Lawrynn didn’t want her parents to fight, even if her mother was dead ass wrong. She walked over to where her father was and placed her hand on his shoulder.

“Daddy, let her go. She can’t walk out of my house and my life if she’s dead,” Lawrynn told Kelvin.

He let Laura go, and she fell to the floor coughing and holding her throat. Lawrynn knew she should care that her mother had almost died at the hands of her father, but she didn’t. Looking down at her mother, she felt nothing at all. This is the point I’ve always wondered about. The point where I just don’t give a fuck anymore. The point where I’m numb to every fucking thing that’s supposed to break me, she thought. “Get up and get the fuck out,” Lawrynn told Laura and walked away.

Chapter Nineteen

Laura swiftly walked out of the house, stumbling along the way. She couldn’t believe the way Lawrynn had talked to her or that Kelvin had put his hands on her. Nobody tried to stop him or help her. Lawrynn was supposed to be her daughter, and she didn’t even care that she was losing oxygen right before her eyes.

Laura pulled her phone out and called her sister.

“Girl, I gotta tell you something. Are you coming up here now or later?” La-La asked as soon as she answered the phone.
