Tied with Love

"Laura… You are trapped with Grey Flexis and how hard you try to get out of it… it is impossible. You'll be madly in love with him in no time." Jessica creased the locket.

"What!!!" exclaimed Laura.

Jessica confirmed, "Yes..."

"No… Jess, it's impossible..." Laura yelled, her ears shut. Jessica cracked a smile.

"Whatever… I informed you of the truth. He's the one. Everything is clear from this locket." Jessica indicated the locket with her finger.

"What?" Laura muttered in disbelief.

" This locket was passed down from your grandmother to your mother. Until you find your companion, it will be an ordinary locket. As the man destined for you approaches, it will give you a hint that's why it was shining earlier. The girl child of our family who received this Locket was trapped in a spell. They can only be mated with those who this locket shows. So you don't have a choice in this situation." Jessica mumbled.

The news shocked Laura. She couldn't believe she was in this position. Her only desire was to return to her realm and claim her throne. Grey, on the other hand, would have a difficult time if she entangled with him. No... she couldn't let her fifteen-year efforts go in vain. She must eliminate the spell. Laura took a deep breath and walked out of the cabin.

"Laura, you're mistaken... You couldn't break the spell. Laura, it was guarded by your mother, a dominant witch... You couldn't break it unless Elizabeth does. You will be forced to choose between Grey and the kingdom." Jessica sighed hearing Laura's inner voice.

"Beth… You just forced me to face all of this... Where the hell are you?" Jessica growled and looked out at the far dense forest.

Meanwhile, Grey had already informed his assistant about the Blue Moons. Laura's approach to him made him uncomfortable. She was stunned to see him. He couldn't get her face out of his mind. Her lovely eyes drew his attention. He'd never felt such a strong attraction to anyone before. But now the girl was all over him. He couldn't concentrate on his work because it was already evening. He also couldn't find the locket on Laura's neck. Everything disturbed him, but he was certain that the girl was drawing him to her.

He summoned Luka after his patience had run out.

"Did you find anything?" Grey inquired hurriedly. Luka's eyes blinked. He just stood there, not understanding what Grey was asking.

"LUKA… What the hell happened to you? Did you come across anything about Ms Laura Knight "Grey roared. Luka immediately realised what Grey had asked a few minutes before.

"Please wait a moment, Sir..." Luka hurried and returned a few minutes later. Immediately Grey received a file from Luka.

"You can go..." Grey fixed his gaze on Luka. Immediately, Luka hurried out of the cabin.

Grey opened the file. He closed the file after a few minutes and immediately indicted Luka.

"What exactly is it?" Grey handed the file over to Luka with a glare. Luka grabbed the file quickly.

"Sir… this is… what you asked for…" stammered Luka.

"What about her parents? childhood? Birthplace? If I tell you to find out everything about someone... I need complete information... Not like this..." Grey yelled, pointing to the file.

"I'm sorry, sir... I could only get that... nothing more..." Luka lowered his head.

"What do you mean?" Grey raised his brows.

"Sir… Ms Knight is a complete mystery... There were no specifics about her parents. She only has an aunt, and they own a well-known cafe in the city. Her childhood was also unknown. Most of the information was obtained from her school. She has no friends too... But… sir… everything about her is odd..." Luka clarified his point.

"Are you saying she's some kind of mystical being?" Grey asked amazed.

"No sir… never… But they're keeping it a secret... That is clear from the file... that is what I meant..." Luka politely declined. Grey became silent.

"You may go..." Grey irritatedly waved his hand at Luka.

What was she hiding? Furthermore, why was she avoiding people approaching her? She preferred to be alone. She was a bright student, so why was she wasting her talent in a small cafe? During her school days, she was gifted and always placed first. Looking into her lifestyle, he discovered that it was luxurious. They were not like those who ran small businesses.

"Why should I care about strangers? Nonsense…" He murmured and resumed his work. He tried everything to avoid her thoughts, but nothing worked. Finally, he decided to return home because he had no other option.

Luka followed Grey to the car. Grey hurried inside as the car came to a halt in front of the mansion. Grey felt relieved when he noticed Daisy, who was sitting on the couch reading a book. He walked over to her and lay on her lap.

"My boy seems tired... Don't put yourself into work like this. "Daisy creased his thick hair with a smile.

"Mom, nothing… just a little stressed," Grey said.

" I will give a massage to you..." Daisy started massaging his forehead. He soon fell into a deep slumber.

But… Grey began to have dreams about the same girl. The same hair, the same locket but the face of the girl was replaced by Laura. Immediately he opened his eyes and began scanning his surroundings.

"Grey… What happened?" Daisy tensed, noticing his panicked state.

"Nothing, mom... I just had a dream..." He rubbed his forehead, attempting to relax his tensed muscles.

"It's alright... Go freshen up... I'll cook you dinner..." Daisy urged him. As soon as he walked away Daisy's expression darkened.

"Didn't he forget about it yet?" She thought.

" Wilfred… If you hunt my boy again, I will kill you "Daisy clenched her fist and murmured.

Ben had previously informed her that Wilfred had caused a commotion in the workplace. She was aware that Grey was still affected by the events that happened in his life. But what options does she have?

Daisy entered her room and pulled a photograph from her closet. She unfolded it.

"Danet… I know I can't stand in your shoes for him... But I'll make sure that jerk never again gets in your son's way... That is my pledge... I'll shield your son from that scumbag..." Daisy's eyes welled up with tears.
