Great update!!

I know that a committed relationship does not end your life of freedom, but going to a club late night with another man may not have been a good move for Laila... especially while there was a disagreement brewing between her and Jameson.

Of course, he reacted accordingly. Laila needs to open the discussion and start by apologizing for butting her nose way into Jameson's business regarding Jade.

I really do hope that the alcohol doesn't talk for her.

OH MY GOD I OOOOOOOVE RYAN KWANTEN!!!!! I remeber wayy back when he was on Summerland. He's soooo sexyyyyyyy. i'm such a sucker for accents! please let Laila date hiiiiim!!!!!!!

I really am enjoying this. Your casting is perfect.  Ugh to both Maria and Chase.  Maria is a horrible mother to use her baby as bait.  Not cool.  I can't wait to read more!

Author's Response:

Thanks boo! Maria is a mess and a half...but you'll witness it for yourself.

I knew it!

Misery likes company. Birds of a feather, and often desperate sore losers, flock together. Maria AND Chase!!! WTH?? What a pair. And what evil scheme are they plotting?? An accident for Laila... possibly Jamison and Jade ends up with mommy dearest?

I can't wait to see where this is going.

Thanks for the update!

Great update. I'm sorry but Laila didn't have the right to decide that it was ok for Maria to visit. She should have cleared it with Jamison first. After all it really isn't her child. She needs to apologize to him. Maria needs to earn their trust again and that takes time. Why is she just showing up now???

Damn! Maria? I didn't see that one coming.

Hmmm... Jade's mother, eh? Some people need to learn the difference between being a mother and being an incubator. I believe she split and left Jamison with the responsibilities of raising and caring for Jade, dealing with her illness alone. So what does she want and why is she doing a school stalking act instead of calling her ex and arranging something like a sensible, responsible adult?

Poor Laila... and Jamison... and Jade. I hink they were starting to mesh like a family. Say, does Laila's psycho ex have something to do with this by chance???

Great chapter. This is an intriguing new twist that you've added. I can't wait to see what sob story Maria has.

How sweet.

After the horrors of being with abusive Chase, Liala really could use a healthy relationship. Jamison and Jade give her that. I hope they can hold onto it.

So adorable!!!

I do think that living with him was not a good idea, but at least she's going home. They basically loved together before even starting a relationship. Now that can actually date and get to know each other.

Loved her with Jamie and Jameson. She deserves to be happy. The ending was unexpected, and so very sweet.

Oh girl you can end the story right here. I'm good. Lol jk. I hope Cahse doesn't come in and ruin this.  I hope Lai doens't do anything stupid like we women tend to do. I hope I'm not hoping in vain.

Good job. What a wonderful chapter. Laila likes the good doctor and the doctor likes Laila. Thank goodness she divorced that abusive husband. I hopeing Laila gets over her slight depression and really starts living. Don't let that handsome doctor get away.

Perfect!!!

The beach... the clear blue water, crisp salty air, and sandy ground is a perfect setting to relax and reflect and attempt to move on from the end ing of her marriage. And that's what Laila needed more than being out celebrating wiht the girls.

Laila's thoughts about her and Chase's beginnings as children explains a lot about Chase's history of neglect, and his pain, anger and abuse, but he chose violence instead of getting help. And unlike most, he had resources available to him to get the help he needed.

Laila, naturally, would claim some of he blame. However, Chase was a grown man in control of his own destiny.

It always amazes me the time, energy, and emotion people put into being jealous and envious of the success of others, instaed of simply redirecting and expending all that trying to get their own shit together, make their own success.

Anywho, Jamison and Jade... I like the potential of this relationship for her. They are sweet together and Mister Coltrane-playing Jamison is definitely interested. I should be nice, refreshing... real... for Laila... until the greedy manipulators of her career step in. 

P.S. Oh, Mari, welcome to The Chamber.
