《My savior. My Lover》


 Chapter 1 Lifeless Body

    Lifeless Body


    Lucien got out of thepany after rounding up his schedules for the day .


    All he needs is a warm shower and his bed because he was damn tired from all the shoots andmercials he did today .


    He drove while listening to his favorite song from Justin Bieber ¡°Intention ¡±


    He sang along with it as he drove on steadily home .


    He was obstructed on seeing a bag moving by the side of the road .


    What the heck , how can a bag move ¡± he thought.


    He tried to wave the thoughts away thinking it was hallucination but the bag moved again .


    Shit he wasn¡¯t hallucinating .


    He drove slowly past the bag trying to ignore it but reversed immediately to check it out.


    Stepping down from the car , he walked to the bag and bent down .


    After taking a deep breath , Lucien slowly untied it  and pop


    He saw a female hair .


    He drew the bag down and it was a human . Her breathing wasing out slowly , he was afraid she was dieing.


    He brought her out  from the bag and rushed into the car .


    Having one location in mind ; the hospital :he drove to the hospital .


    Lucien parked at the hospitals parking lot and rang the bell kept for emergency there .


    Some nurses rushed in with a stretcher and wheeled her inside .


    Lucien ruffled his hair .


    His day just took another drastic turn .


    ¡°Sir the doctor wants you at his office ¡± a nurse said tapping him.


    ¡°Ok I will be there in a jiffy ¡°he said arranging his hair before taking same directions the nurse took before seeing the doctor¡¯s office two doors by your right .


    He knocked gently and the door swung open .


    Good evening doctor ¡°he said and sat down


    ¡°Good evening ..


    ¡°Lucien , Lucien the name is Lucien¡±he said in broken tones .


    ¡°Sir who is the patient to you ¡°the doctor asked


    ¡°A friend ¡± he said and swallowed .


    He can¡¯t tell him he found her at the roadside now.


    Disastrous .


    ¡°Lucien hey¡± the doctor said waving his hands at his face.


    ¡°You were saying sir ¡± Lucien said


    ¡°I said she is suffering from shock and some internal bleedings . A few though . She is also at the verge ofa ¡± the doctor exined and Lucien palmed his face .


    This girl is going to be staying in the hospital for a while and damn it .


    ¡± So you have to make an instalment payment to the secretary down the hall ¡± he said and I nodded slowly.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry she would be fine ¡± he said reassuring me and h  muttered an okay .


    He came out of the office and headed down the hall .


    Lucien paid in the full amount and collected the receipt from her .


    He has to go home to freshen up and sleep a bit, before going to work tomorrow


    Lucien drove faster and steadily this time around and soon enough he was at his home


    He got down from his car and walked to his door .


    Dipping his hands into his pocket , he brought out his bunch of key and inserted it into the lock and opened the door .


    He quickly put on the lights and the house became litted up .


    #home sweet home ¡± he muttered and juggled up the stairs  .


    He got into his room and proceeded to get a warm bath .


    There was nothing to eat for today because he freezed all his supplies that he  needed .


    After taking a bath , Lucien fell on his bed and slept off .


    ¡­


    The rays from the window blind pierced into Lucien¡¯s eyes as he turned .


    Gosh he had slept off with just a towel


    Fatigue is one bad thing .


    He got down and rushed into the bathroom , he has two shoots today and some interviews to host .


    He brushed his teeth and took his bath .


    Put on a casual Jean and top with a face cap .


    He picked up his bag and picked clothes he would needter in the day.


    After work he would head to the hospital to check out the girl he saved .


    He rushed out and dropped his bag into the back seat , hop into his car and drove off .


    Today was going to be a long day  for him .


    ¡­


    Cara walked into Lucien¡¯s office and met him busy on hisptop but a nce at him would tell you that he was weak .


    ¡± Cara what are my schedules for today ¡± he asked still typing on hisptop .


    ¡± I already sent it to you via email as usual ¡± she said and Lucien palmed his face.


    ¡± I totally forgot about that ¡± he said .


    ¡± Boss are you okay ?. Should I get you coffee ¡± Cara asked immediately ..


    ¡± Yea sure that would help me in this state ¡± Lucien said with an appreciative smile .


    Cara turned around and walked out of the office briskly .


    ¡­ . . ¡­


    ¡± Doctor the patient in Private Ward 4 just sneezed ¡± Nurse Benny said and the doctor followed her immediately .


    Mr Lucien had urged him to watch over the patient which was his job .


    He opened the ward to meet the girl staring at him and scanning across the room .


    ¡°How are you feeling Miss ¡± the doctor said touching her to feel her pulse .


    It was beating gently and not too fast .


    He checked her heartbeat and felt her temperature .


    All was in good order .


    ¡°Where am I , who am I ¡± the patient said .


    Nurse Benny looked at the doctor and sighed .


    ¡°Are you saying you can¡¯t remember anything about yourself , how you got here ¡±  Doctor Carl asked .


    ¡± I don¡¯t even know my name ¡± she said and tore up .


    ¡± Hey Prettydy don¡¯t cry , I am sure your friend who brought you here can exin when hees and we hope you don¡¯t have what we think it is ¡± Doctor Carl said and walked out .


    ¡°Do you feel any pains in your body , anywhere ¡± Nurse Benny asked sitting on the chair beside her .


    ¡°I am not feeling any pains but I am damn hungry . ¡± She said and pouted her lips .


    ¡± Cute , what would you love to eat ¡± Nurse Benny asked .


    ¡°I don¡¯t know anything , just get me anything to quench this hunger . ¡± She said and Nurse Bennyughed .


    ¡± I will be back shortly  . ¡± She said and walked out of her ward . .


    ¡­


    Lucien parked his car at the hospital¡¯s parking lot and got down . He met a nurse walking in with packs of food with her .


    The nurse stopped as soon as he saw him .


    ¡± Oh Good day Lucien , you are right in time , your friend just woke up a while ago . Infact this edibles are for her . ¡± She said and Lucien nodded happily .


    ¡± How is she now.¡± He asked walking to the ward with her .


    ¡°She is fine but I think she has Amnesia , the doctor hasn¡¯t confirmed it yet tho ¡± Nurse Benny said .


    ¡°What ! Amnesia ! How will she know her family ¡± Lucien screamed .T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°You can take her to her family , she is your friend right? ¡± She said and Lucien mped his lip shut .


    He just gave himself away .


    ¡± Well I was wondering how her parent¡¯s will feel if she can¡¯t recognize them ¡± Lucien said to cover up .


    ¡°Oh that , they would understand and besides it¡¯s temporary Amnesia ¡± Nurse Benny said and handed over the packs of edibles to him..


    ¡± The doctor sends for me , I will be back ¡± she said and went off .


    Lucien pushed open the door and found her sleeping .


    He went closer and dropped the stuffs on the bedside table .


    He took a closer look at her and observed her features .


    Tall and slender in height , with pointed nose and full and curved pink lips .


    With beautiful curves


    She is beautiful.


    She sneezed and that brought Lucien to his environment back .


    She fluttered her eyelids open to reveal her hazel eyes .


    She stared around and when her eyes fell on the blue eyes looking at her , she muttered


    ¡°MY SAVIOUR ..

 Chapter 2 Lost memories

    Lost memories.


    She sneezed and that brought Lucien to his environment back .


    She fluttered her eyelids open to reveal her hazel eyes .


    She stared around and when her eyes fell on the blue eyes looking at her , she muttered


    ¡°MY SAVIOUR ..¡±she said and looked at Lucien .


    ¡°How do you know am your saviour, I thought you had amnesia and you were unconscious that night ¡°Lucien saidT¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡± I can¡¯t remember anything , believe me , who are you . Are you my friend ¡± she asked looking at Lucien again .


    ¡± Yes too bad you can¡¯t remember me , Lucia I am your best friend ¡°Lucien said faking some sobs .


    ¡± Where is my family¡± Lucia asked .


    ¡± Your family are far away in Massachusetts , U. S. A ¡± Lucien said hoping she believes this fountain of lies gushing out from his mouth .


    ¡± Oh thank you so much Lucien for being here for me , I am grateful ¡± she said and tried to sit upright .


    Lucien helped her up and aided her back with the pillow on the bed.


    ¡°I will be back , I have to go see the doctor ¡± Lucien said and Lucia nodded feeling a little excited that she had a name didn¡¯t hear him leave the ward .


    The slight lock of the door brought her out of subconscious and she saw he had left the ward .


    ¡­ .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .  .


    #Lucien#


    ¡± So you mean she just lost her memory for a period of time ¡± Lucien asked the doctor who nodded his head .


    ¡°Yes and for the information, she would need your help to get her memories ¡± the doctor said and Lucien looked at him puzzled .


    ¡± How can I do that ¡± he asked


    ¡°You have to remember of some memories you guys shared , take her to ces you have been to together ¡± he exined and I gulped .


    What have I gotten myself into


    What memories should I remind her of when j don¡¯t have any with her.


    ¡°Ok doctor I would do just that , anything for my friend ¡± I said and stood up .


    ¡°Ok see youter , she can be discharged tomorrow by the way ¡± he said and I nodded slowly and quietly left his office


    I walked out of the hospital slowly, I have to clear my head first before going in to see her.


    A bottle of Brandy would do the trick .


    I got into my car and drove out of the hospital building down to my favorite ce .


    While driving my phone started ringing , I picked it up without bothering to check


    ¡°Hey dude ¡± a husky voice echoed out of the receiver end .


    I smiled on knowing who it was already .


    ¡°Derick whats up ¡± I said.


    ¡± I am fine.  Where are you , I have been waiting at your house for the past ten minutes ¡± he said and I scoffed.


    ¡± Stop ying games with me ¡± I said not believing him.


    He had been in the states for the past one month .


    ¡± Okay check my location, I just put it on ¡°he  said and I quickly put on my location .


    Truly he was back


    ¡± Dude you are back , aning there now ¡± I said and turned my wheels to the direction of my house .


    ¡± Ok I am waiting for you ¡± he said and hung up .


    I smiled happily forgetting about my hospital dilemma for a while .


    I drove into my vicinity and saw Derick¡¯s car parked .


    This dude wasn¡¯t joking.


    I quickly hopped down and locked my car tucking the keys into my pocket .


    I opened the door and found him seated sipping a ss of wine


    My houeskeeper really did a nice job .


    ¡°Hey dude , I missed you ¡± I said and fully entered the sitting room .


    ¡± Well miss is an understatement for what I feel dude , it feels like a year ¡± he said and I chuckled and sat down .


    ¡± So how was business there in Paris ¡± I asked.


    ¡°Thelma ! ¡± I called my housekeeper and she came in view .


    ¡± Wee sir ¡± she said and I nodded .


    ¡± Do you mind preparing something for my friend to eat , something light ¡± I said and winked at Derick who was trying hard to punch me .


    ¡± Ok sir , or should I just microwave the chicken sauce that was prepared before ¡± she asked politely .


    ¡± I think you should make a fresh meal for my fresh friend ¡°I said and she smiled and walked away .


    ¡°Your housekeeper is quite a prettydy . ¡± Derick said and I red at him hard .


    ¡± Wait do you like her ¡± he askedughing .


    ¡°No I don¡¯t silly , it¡¯s just weird the way you say it yunno ¡± I said andughed .


    ¡± Well I find her attractive ¡± he said and i scoffed .


    ¡± Fine that¡¯s not my problem , a bigger problem awaits me now ¡± I said sighing .


    ¡± What problem ¡± he asked and i ruffled my hair .


    ¡± So yesterday night whileing from work , I saw this bag moving on the road , it just shooked and I was really inquisitive to know what is in it .¡± I said and took a deep breath .


    ¡± You found a corpse in it ¡± Derick asked interrupting me .


    ¡± Something like that but this corpse was alive and is presently in the hospital ¡± I said and  he nodded urging me to go on


    ¡± So now am in deep shit because the girl I saved can¡¯t remember her name and the doctor believes am her close friend and I need to help her regain her memory¡± I concluded .


    ¡°Wohoo deep shit bro , deep shit ¡±  Derick said .


    ¡± Yeah I know because if i can¡¯t remember anything about her because I don¡¯t know her , that means she can¡¯t regain her memories ¡± I said and


    ¡°Yea you are right there. But let¡¯s see if there are any other means we could also use.¡± Derick said and I sighed .


    ¡± What other means can you think of because there¡¯s nothing up there ¡± I said pointing at his brain and he pped my hands off .


    ¡°Come closer ¡± he said and I came closer .


    He whispered something¡¯s to my ears .


    ¡°WHAT !!¡± I screamed .


    TBC.

    ¡± What hospital is she presently at ¡± Derick asked


    ¡°Louise¡¯s¡± I said and he nodded .

    ¡± Stay calm Lucia , am about to inject you with the second dose ¡± she said gently and I nodded .


    She tied a rope like stuff around my hands and sprinkled some cold stuff on my hand and rubbed it a bit before pushing in the stuff .


    ¡±  Ouch it hurts ¡± I yelped

    Cara my secretary picked up a wine and popped it .


    ¡°Hip hip hurray ¡± she shouted and started turning the wine into everyone¡¯s cup .

    I frowned my face as I walked away, couldn¡¯t believe that he would send me away .


    I thought he was enjoying the conversation while I was I really really like my boss and I will do anything till I get him because he is mine.


    I poured the wine for the other workers with no interest.


    My boss is the one I like a lot not them .


    Yikes .


    Crazy.


    ¡­.


    Lucia turned on the bed , she has been bored all morning .


    No one to talk to.


    Nurse Benny wasn¡¯t at work today .


    Lucien was going toe pick her in the evening and it¡¯s a long timeing .


    The door opened immediately and a man walked inside , same height like Lucien but not as handsome as Lucien .


    Lucia got up immediately and looked at the man who sat on the stool by the bed .


    ¡± Good morning Lucia ¡± Derick greeted and smiled .


    ¡± Good morning ¡± she replied calmly .


    ¡± Don¡¯t be afraid, Lucien would soon be here . I am his friend and my name is Derick ¡± Derick said and winked .


    ¡± So you are Lucien¡¯s friend ? ¡°Lucia said widening her eyes .


    ¡°Yes ¡± Derick answered not understanding what¡¯s happening .


    ¡± So if you are Lucien¡¯s friend and Lucien is my friend , that means you are also my friend . Too bad Derick I can¡¯t remember you also ¡± Lucia said almost breaking down .


    ¡± No there¡¯s no need for the tears Lucia , I understand . It hurts that you can¡¯t remember me but it¡¯s fine and I believe very soon you will remember me ¡± Derick said wiping off her tears .


    Almost immediately Lucien entered


    ¡°So I have cleared everything and we can now go¡­


    Lucien stopped talking as he saw Lucia¡¯s red face .


    ¡°What happened Derick . Was she crying? ¡± Lucien asked surprised


    ¡°Nothing to be worried about. Lucia is just sad she can¡¯t remember us anymore¡± Derick said and Lucien sighed softly.N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    ¡± Lucia you don¡¯t need to cry , we have your back all the time  . Pretty soon , you would get all of your memories back just give it time¡± Lucien soothed .


    ¡°Ok how about we go to Tic and Toe to get ice cream before going home .¡± Derick suggested .


    ¡°Yes that¡¯s a very wonderful idea , don¡¯t you think so Lucia ¡± Lucien Said .


    ¡°Yes I do , I would really have some icecream ¡± she said and got down from the bed .


    Lucien got the small bag Lucia used while at the hospital and they exited the ward .


    Derick supported Lucia as she took wavery steps due to a few pains .


    But she was good anyways .


    Lucia got into Lucien¡¯s car at the back seat while Derick joined Lucien at the front.


    ¡°Are you okay Lucien¡±Derick asked seeing that Lucien is not driving off.


    ¡°Can¡¯t believe you forgot today is my birthday, dude¡±Lucien said and Derick cracked .


    ¡°You are so silly , get the hell out of here ¡± Derickughed .


    ¡°Later you would tell me what¡¯s the problem because I know you just lied ¡°Derick whispered .


    Lucia looked at the two of them and shook her head .


    ¡°Beautiful friendshjp¡± she thought .


    ¡­


    Cara scattered her hair as she came out of Lucien¡¯s office .


    When did he leave the office¡±she thought.


    She wanted to take him out so they could go have fun after work for his birthday but he had just dissapeared into air like puff .


    She had made some reservations and it would all be waste now .


    She punched her hands in the air in anger as she marched back into her office .


    ¡°Calm down Cara, why do you look like a ming fire ¡°Selena a junior intern asked.


    Cara looked at her , hissed and continued her work to her office in anger more greater than before .


    ¡­..


    ¡°Umm this icecream is beautiful¡±Lucia said scooping more scoops into her mouth .


    ¡°It¡¯s strawberry vor, just like your strawberry skin¡± Derick said and Lucia blushed.


    Lucien coughed slightly making Derickugh.


    ¡°Hurry up Lucia, we have to start going ¡°lucien said


    ¡°Come on Lucien , let the girl eat her icecream ¡°Derick said and Lucia smiled at him .


    ¡°Ahh ¡± Lucien groaned .


    ¡°So I am going home right, you are taking me to my house right ¡°Lucia said smiling .


    ¡°Maybe I can get my memories faster there¡±Lucia said and Lucien palmed his face .


    What the heck does he tell her now .

 Chapter 5 Who is Camilla?

    Who is Cami?


    Lucien looked at Derick hoping for help on what to tell Lucia but Derick¡¯s face looked nk .


    ¡± Why is no one talking¡± Lucia asked looking at them.


    ¡± Actually Lucia you can¡¯t go home now because your parents are not home and you can¡¯t be alone ¡± Derick said and Lucia nodded .


    ¡°Oh that¡¯s true , I understand.  I can also get my memories from your houses anyways , have been there right ¡± she asked making Lucien ruffle his hair.


    ¡°What the hell did I get myself into ¡± Lucien muttered silently .


    ¡± You should understand if you have  there soon when you get your memories ¡°Derick answered .


    Lucien drove past a big mall and parked in it.


    ¡°Guess we need to go shopping for Lucia ¡± he said and got down  .


    Derick decided to wait in the car while they shop .


    Lucien held Lucia¡¯s hand as they walked into the mall  .


    ¡± Good day sir and ma , wee to J? Boutique ¡± an attendant said walking to them.


    ¡°Some female clothing for her ¡± Lucien said pointing to Lucia.


    ¡°Oke with me. ¡°the attendant said and Lucia followed her while Lucien sat down .


    ¡°So what type of clothes do you want dear ¡± the attendant asked .


    ¡°Any type or wait I would go ask Lucien ¡± Lucia said and before the attendant could say anything, she ran off .


    ¡°Beautiful couples ¡± the attendant said and smiled .


    Lucia ran to where Lucien sat startling him .


    ¡°What the hell Lucia , you don¡¯t run like that in a mall ¡± he snapped  .


    ¡± I am sorry about that , I wanted to ask what type of clothes am I getting ¡± she said calmly .


    ¡± Casual clothes and outdoor clothes¡± Lucien said and she ran off.


    ¡°Not again¡± Lucien cussed palming his face.


    ¡°Ok I need some work clothes , gym clothes , casual and outdoor clothes ¡± Lucia said adding her own spice to it .


    ¡°Ok on it ¡± the attendant said and went round getting all the things she asked for beforeing back to her with the bags .


    ¡°Your boyfriend already paid for it and he is waiting for you outside. Thanks for shopping with us miss and have a beautiful rtionship .¡± The attendant said before walking off moving on to the next customer.


    ¡± Boyfriend ? Lucia said in shock.N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    ¡°He isn¡¯t my boyfriend ¡± she said to no one in particr since she was no where to be found.


    Lucia picked the bags that were five in total and walked out of the mall and met Lucien already in  the car .


    She opened the car and got in .


    ¡± What the hell do you need work clothes for ¡± Lucien snapped angrily .


    ¡°Lucien ¡± Derick shunned .


    ¡°I just felt like I needed them ¡± Lucia replied almost tearing up .


    ¡°You felt like you needed them and so then why do you have to ask me what type of clothes you needed  . Huh ¡± Lucien barked .


    He was getting pissed already.


    Helping her was about to eat into his normal daily routine, imagine he is supposed to be in work now but look at where he is   .


    ¡± I am sorry ¡°Lucia said and tore up .


    ¡°See what you caused Lucien.  Are you happy now? ¡± Derick said calming Lucia down .

 Chapter 6 Quinn鈥檚 visit

    Lucien continued driving not bothered about her countenance , he didn¡¯t care if she tore up or something .


    She was a lot of headache to him already .


    Derick tried calming Lucia down at the back but she continued sobbing .


    ¡± I thought we are friends , is there something wrong¡± Lucia whispered to Derick.


    ¡± Yes you are but you see Lucien is kind of , he has anger issues . This minute he is happy, the other minute he goes angry. ¡± Derick said hoping Lucien buys his point .


    The sound of the shutting of the door made Derick know that they had gotten to Lucien¡¯s house .


    How did he drive so far .


    ¡°Wow ¡± Lucia said on viewing the house .


    ¡± I don¡¯t think I have been here before , this house just feels new . No connection at all¡± Lucia said looking at Derick .


    ¡± I don¡¯t know ¡± he said and shrugged his shoulders .


    ¡± Wee back boss , wee sir Derick and miss ¡­¡± Thelma the housekeeper said waiting for Lucia to answer.


    ¡± Oh I am Lucia and I am not miss ¡± Lucia said revealing her perfect dentition .


    ¡± Do you have something cooked up because I think she would be hungry ¡± Lucien said sitting down on the couch .


    ¡± Yes I will just set up the table ¡± Thelma said and left .


    ¡± You have a nice housekeeper , she should know me right ¡± Lucia said smiling.Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    ¡± No ¡± Derick and Lucien shouted .


    ¡°She doesn¡¯t, I employed her newly ¡± Lucien said ruffling his hair .


    He had totally forgotten that Thelma would be at home and she might tell Lucia she had been hired a year ago .


    ¡± Ok and you do have a nice couch ¡± Lucia said using her hands to feel the couch .


    ¡± Thank you and stop being a talkative ¡± Lucien said tired already of her .


    ¡± I am not a talkative ¡± Lucia snapped .


    ¡± Yes you are ¡± Lucien replied back .


    ¡± I am not


    ¡± You are .


    ¡± Food is served ¡± Thelma said from the dinning .


    ¡± Oh thank God foring in between these two .¡± Derick appreciated earning him a re from Lucien.


    They walked to the table and sat down .


    ¡± Hmm wow so appetizing ,¡± Lucia said and sniffed the air .


    ¡± Can I have those chicken wings ¡± Lucia said looking at Lucien who was close to it .


    ¡± Serve yourself and stop disturbing me .¡± Lucien snapped .


    ¡°I will help you Lucia ¡± Thelma said wondering what was wrong with her boss .


    He has never been so worked up this way .


    Something¡¯s up .


    ¡± Thank you Miss ¡± Lucia said and watched Thelma serve her .


    Derick winked at Lucien and earned a re.


    ¡± This tastes so good . Mind if you could teach me ¡± Lucia said and Lucien palmed his face .


    ¡± With all pleasures , I don¡¯t mind  . When ever youe visiting ¡± Thelma said ignorantly.


    ¡± I would be staying here for the time being till I get my memories back ¡± Lucia said and Lucien banged the table .


    ¡°Thats it , you talk to much , Get up ¡± Lucien said and pulled Lucia up from her side of the table and climbed up the stairs .


    ¡± Lucien calm down ¡± Derick shouted from the dinning but Lucien didn¡¯t bother replying.


    His main aim was to talk to Lucia .


    He opened the guest room that was sparkling neat and furnished .


    ¡°Why do you hate me , I thought we are friends ¡± Lucia said sitting on the bed and sobbing .


    ¡± I don¡¯t hate you neither do I love you , I just want you to know that I don¡¯t know you , I don¡¯t know your name either . I saw you unconcious by the side of the road and j decided to help you not knowing you won¡¯t realize your self when you wake up .¡± Lucien exined .


    ¡°You mean you don¡¯t know me at all , I am a stranger , even Derick is a stranger ¡± Lucia said in tears and Lucien nodded .


    ¡± I don¡¯t want you to be a cry baby or something . I just want you to brace yourself up and try to get your memories faster so you can go back to your family . ¡± Lucien said and took a long look at Lucia whose face was soaked with tears and walked out from the room walking into Derick who was standing by the door.


    ¡± Why would you tell her the truth now ¡± Derick said .


    ¡± I had to , she just had to know . So she won¡¯t be clingy around me like I am her friend or something because I don¡¯t know her . ¡°Lucien said and walked away .


    Derick looked at Lucia¡¯s door for sometime before thinking of whether to go in .


    After some thinking , he walked in .


    ¡°Please i want to be alone Derick , please ¡± Lucia said and Derick sighed before walking out.


    Lucia felt her world crashing , he doesn¡¯t know her , he doesn¡¯t even know her at all.


    Is Lucia even her name


    Who are her family ?


    Lucien teared up the more that she felt her head would soon burst .


    Slowly her eyes fluttered closed and she fell asleep .


    ¡­.


    ¡°Quinn why can¡¯t you just postpone this meeting  to the summer , your brother would be so surprised to see you ¡± Mrs Spencer said .


    ¡± Mom I really need to see him , I miss him.  He misses me too I know . That house would be so boring for him . He really needs me there ¡± Quinn said packing up her things.


    ¡°Stop acting like your brother is a kid ¡± Mrs Spencer said .

    ¡°I will do all this but can you please bribe me ¡± she said pouting her lips ..


    ¡°Silly girl , you better start going or you would miss your flight ¡± Mrs Spencer said and signaled someone to pick up her luggages .


    She walked her outside and waited for her to get into the car and waved at her before blowing her a kiss .


    Quinn squealed happily making the driver turn and smile .


    Meeting her brother after four months is  something to be happy about right?


    ¡°What airport are you headed ma ¡± the driver asked not taking his eyes off the steering .


    ¡°I am using Prech Airways ¡± Quinn said and brought out her phone from her purse ..


    . California ¡­.


    ¡°So I want to say thank you for saving my life and giving me such a beautiful name ¡± Lucia said blocking Lucien on the stairs as he prepared to go to work .


    ¡± That¡¯s not needed Lucia , all that is needed is for you to regain your memories so you can go back to where you belong and where you are wanted ¡± he said and walked of leaving her .


    Lucia held back the tears from falling.


    ¡°He just told me I am not wanted here ¡± she muttered to herself .


    ¡± I thought he was nice , what suddenly went wrong ¡± she said loudly and ran into her room in tears .


    Thelma shook her head .


    She still can¡¯t ce the rtionship between this Lucia girl and her boss .


    Guess she has to talk to himter .

    ¡± Cara cancel all my schedules for today ¡± Lucien said working on hisptop .


    ¡± What about your appointment with Royale Estate Agent ¡± Cara said wondering why her boss would cancel such an important deal .


    ¡± Ok where is the meeting taking ce ¡± Lucien asked thinking of sending Cara there .


    He just wants to rest his head and have lunch .


    Lucia was messing with his head .


    He knew he was being harsh but damn he needed to act strict with her to curb her excesses .


    ¡± Boss boss ¡± Cara called for the umpteenth time since he wasn¡¯t asking .


    ¡± You were saying Cara ¡± he asked


    ¡± Its going to be held at Prestige Hotel Conference Room by 3 pm ¡± she said and Lucien nodded .


    He checked the time on his phone , the time was still 1pm so there was still a few moments of rest but he wasn¡¯t going anyway .


    ¡± Cara can you just fill in for me , I trust you to do this perfectly ¡± Lucien said and Cara felt an air of pride swell in her head  .


    ¡± Sure boss I would do that , I just need to go home so I can dress more presentable ¡± She said looking at herself .


    Lucien looked at the knee length skirt and chiffon top she was wearing and also realized she needed to change .


    ¡± Ok you can leave by 2 pm with a Uber and the Uber would take you to the venue of the meeting ¡± he said and she nodded smiling .


    This was just a chance to show her boss that she was good in this and make him attracted to her the more .Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

    Lucia picked a Polo and a trouser she found in the wardrobe and put it on after taking her bath .


    Thank God there was clothes in the wardrobe if not she would have repeated clothes .


    She had been sulking all morning and realized it won¡¯t help her in anyway so she got up and took her bath and besides she was feeling hungry .


    She walked out of the room and saw a door opposite hers with the inscription LUCIEN on it .


    Wow he even inscribed his name on the door .


    She opened the door and was about peeping inside when she heard a voice .


    ¡± Don¡¯t go in there to avoid getting in trouble Lucia ¡°Thelma said making her shut the door immediately .


    ¡± Come have some cupcakes ¡± Thelma said walking down the stairs , she had gone to clean up the game room and wasing out when she saw Lucia by Lucien¡¯s door .


    Lucia just followed her without saying anything .


    ¡± I think the cupcakes should be ready now ¡± Thelma said opening the oven and the Swift scent of the cup cake graced Lucia¡¯s nostrils .


    ¡± Uhmm scents nice , there are a lot of things you have to teach me then which includes this cupcakes ¡± Lucia said and Thelma giggled .


    ¡± Well I will teach you . Why don¡¯t you sit on the couch while I serve you and you watch a movie ¡± Thelma said and Lucia shook her head in disapproval .


    ¡± Why don¡¯t we serve ourselves and we go sit on the couch and watch a movie ¡± Lucia said pouting her lips .


    Thelma sighed before nodding her head .


    She wasn¡¯t used to rxing here .


    Not like her boss is strict but she had made sure to put a thick line between work and pleasure..


    Lucia walked to the te rack and brought out two tes and rinsed it before drying it .


    She ced two cupcakes on hers and two other for Thelma .


    Thelma got a juice pack from the refrigerator and two tumblers and they walked to the sitting room..


    ¡± So what genre of film do you like ¡± Thelma asked .


    ¡°Mafia Romance ¡± Lucia said squealing .


    ¡± I also love it , so lets watch WORKING FOR A MAFIA ¡± Thelma said slotting it in .


    The movie began and Thelma stood up to switch the lights and immediately the doorbell rang making her switch it on again .


    Who could be at the door .


    Certainly not her boss or his friend .


    She opened the door and met a smilingdy with her luggage by her side .


    ¡°Miss Quinn ¡°she said and immediately Lucia¡¯s attention turned to the door ..

    ¡°Miss Quinn you didn¡¯t tell us of your arrival ¡± Thelma said politely .


    ¡± So you could work yourself up around the house and besides I wanted to surprise my brother when hees back from work.¡±she said walking inside and meeting Lucia standing .


    Lucia had heard from their little convo that she is Lucien¡¯s sister .


    Isn¡¯t that more trouble for her .


    Lucien was not being nice and now his sister.


    ¡°Thelma who is she ¡± Quinn said looking at Lucia who she found beautiful .


    ¡± Your brother is in the best position to answer that Quinn ¡± Thelma said carrying Quinn¡¯s box upstairs leaving Lucia with Quinn .


    ¡± Who are you . Are you my brother¡¯s fiancee . You look so beautiful . Why is your hair so long and your skin so smooth ¡± Quinn chattered and didn¡¯t notice when Lucia slipped into unciousness almost falling on the floor .

    Now he has to hurry home again all because of Lucia .


    This won¡¯t surely be the end of him .


    Had it been he ignored the shaking bag that night , he won¡¯t be in this state  .


    He picked up his keys and dashed out of the office making sure he bolted it .


    He wasn¡¯t one to y with his office privacy .

    Lucien got down from the car , unbuttoning his sleeves while walking in .


    He opened the door and climbed the stairs to Lucia¡¯s room .


    He met her looking like someone who just woke up  .


    He scanned round the room but no trace of Quinn but he could smell her deodorant.


    He knows her deodorant and wouldn¡¯t miss it for the world .


    ¡± Good evening sir ¡± Thelma said getting up from the bed .


    ¡± I will go get you some water Lucia  ¡± she said leaving fast as possible .


    ¡± Ok tell me what caused this ruckus ¡± Lucien snapped as soon as she left .


    ¡± I am sorry , I didn¡¯t mean to disturb you , I didn¡¯t know Thelma would call you ¡± Lucia said on the verge of tearing up .


    ¡± You are sorry , what would sorry do in this situation , sorry that you made me miss my office appointments ¡± Lucien snapped .


    ¡± I just felt my head go heavy with the numerous questions your sister asked and I slipped into unconciousness¡± Lucia said softly and Lucien ruffled his hair .


    ¡°What questions.¡± Lucien asked and immediately the door opened revealing Quinn who had gone to freshen up .


    ¡± Big brother.¡± She said and hugged him tightly and Lucien felt his anger dissolve .


    ¡± Why the hell did you not tell me you wereing ¡± be said poking her cheeks .


    ¡± I wanted it to be a surprise , how will it be a surprise if I tell you ¡± she said making Lucien smile.


    ¡°How is Mum ¡± he asked arranging her hair .


    ¡°Mum is fine and she asked me to get you a fiancee while I am here but seems you already did a good job getting one ¡± she said winking and immediately Lucien remembered he was still in Lucia¡¯s room and pulled her out immediately which made Lucia giggle .


    Lucien just acted like a saint but to Lucia he acts like aplete jerk and a devil .

    ¡±  So who is the lucky girl inside ¡± Quinn asked giggling .


    ¡°She is no lucky girl , just some girl I helped in her unconcious state .¡± Lucien said dismissively .


    ¡°What ! Exin to me because I don¡¯t understand at all ¡± Quinn said looking amused .


    ¡± I said I saved her from dying and now she has Amnesia and can¡¯t remember her roots ¡± Lucien said making Quinn gasp.


    ¡± You dont mean it , do you . What a beautiful love story is going to erupt from this ¡± Quinn said smiling making Lucien palm his face .


    ¡± You are just been silly . I just said I don¡¯t know her and there is nothing like loveing between us ¡± Lucien said walking  into his room leaving Quinn at the spot .


    ¡± Hmm not on my watch . Who wouldn¡¯t want such beauty in the family¡± she said aloud .

 Chapter 9 Getting a job

    Getting a job


    Cara fumed as she walked out of the office .


    Who the hell does Jane think she is and to think that she even went ahead to tell her of her life problems was her own stupidity .


    She found out that all the staffs were slowly vacating the office premises .


    Some in their cars


    Some with their boyfriends and others with their pre arranged rides .


    She had neither of these because she had turned all guys away waiting for Lucien to notice her.


    She unzipped her purse and brought out her phone and booked a ride but thework wasn¡¯t connecting.


    Thework wiped outpletely after a while of disconnecting .


    ¡± Damn now I have to go in all these taxi with stinking human beings and smelly low life .¡± She said snorting .


    She walked out of the office and decided to hail cars down rather asking for help than for her to get into a cab .


    Hopefully she might get a neat car to drive her to her house direction .


    She waved at a few cars and when she was about giving up , a blue Toyota Coro car stopped .


    ¡± Not my taste anyway but manageable¡± she said before hopping in .


    Jason was waiting to hear at least a thank you but didn¡¯t hear any but heard her spray some perfume around her .


    ¡°Hmm so rude ¡± _ he muttered slowly but decided to stir up a conversation


    ¡°Hi I am Jason. What¡¯s your name ¡± he asked and cara sized him up before answering.


    ¡± Cara ¡±


    ¡± Wow Cara such a beautiful name for a beauty like you ¡± he said and Cara felt her cheek heat up but was quick to cover it up .


    ¡± Thank you ¡± she said perfunctorily.


    ¡°Ok Cara mind if we see some other time to know ourselves better ¡± Jason asked.


    ¡± Yes I do mind , we can¡¯t see ourselvester . besides drop at that bend there . ¡± Cara said and waited for him to park by the side of the road .


    ¡± I am sorry if my question offended you miss Cara but can I have your digits instead¡± he said calmly . He really liked her at first sight and wanted to know her better .


    Cara just hissed before walking away.


    ¡°Bastard ¡± she muttered .

    ¡± Thelma where is Lucia¡± Lucien asked on noticing she was not at the dinning


    Not like he cared anyway .


    ¡± I am here ¡± Lucia said from the stairs , she was putting on a night gown and a robe on it .


    ¡± Hmmm why would you wear a night gown to dinner . Can¡¯t you just dress more appropriately and after dinner, you can change into your night robes¡± Lucien said trying to be calm but Lucia wasn¡¯t having any of it again .


    ¡± I am tired of all these. Why would you bother saving my life if you are just going to keep on hurting me because I lost my memories . Huh why are you this wicked ¡± Lucia snapped and teared up and ran back upstairs .


    Lucien ruffled his hair as he walked out of the dinning and left the house..


    ¡± Damn ¡± Quinn said before running upstairs .


    She tried opening Lucia¡¯s door but it was locked from inside .


    All she could hear were her sobs and tears .


    ¡± Why was her brother being a jerk , Her brother is a nice guy ¡± she thought .


    Lucien got into his car and hit the steering so hard.


    Why was life this unfair to him .


    How could his good bring him enough troubles .


    Living with a total stranger .


    What if she was wanted or she was trailed by assassins .


    He had a soft tap on the car door and he raised his head to see Lucia looking at him .


    Damn what does she want again .


    He opened the door and immediately she went down on her knees .


    ¡± Don¡¯t do that ¡± Lucien said pulling her up .


    ¡± I am so sorry about my outburst. I shouldn¡¯t have reacted the way I did .. You are my saviour and you saved my life and I am so grateful ¡± Lucia said heads bent..


    Lucien raised her face up .


    ¡°Let¡¯s just forget everything that happened tonight¡± he said and with that he went inside .


    ¡°Damn so unpredictable¡± Lucia muttered .


    ¡°So did it work ¡± Quinn said behind her startling her .


    Well it was all Quinn¡¯s idea and it worked a little.


    ¡°Yeah it worked a little .¡± Lucia said walking inside .


    ¡± Hey wait up.  Both of you are so unpredictable ¡± Quinn said running after Lucia who hastened her steps .

    Caraid on the bed and her mind ruminated over Lucian .  .


    What will it be like to be in his arms all night ¡±


    She thought of it and held her pillow tightly .


    She felt a wet liquid slid into her panties down to  herps and she stood up .


    This was not the first time she had cum while thinking of Lucien and this won¡¯t be thest .


    ¡­.


    Lucia got on her bed and took a jotter lying on the table and started scribbling some things she would need to do if she wants to regain her memory fast so she can get out of here .


    And first things first was to get a job .


    She wasn¡¯t going to ask Lucien for any help , she was going to go job hunting herself and scout for a good job anywhere.


    But damn she didn¡¯t have any money for taxis neither did she have a certificate .


    She will need Quinn¡¯s help for money and she can go for jobs which don¡¯t deserve certificates.T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    First thing tomorrow morning , she is getting a job

 Chapter 10 Got a job

    Got a job


    Lucia got up immediately at the strike of the clock that it was already morning.


    One thing to know about someone looking for a job is punctuality .


    She wished she had a phone, she would have scouted for jobs online .


    She had an idea, she would just use Quinn¡¯s phone  so she had two favours to ask from Quinn.


    She entered the bathroom and took a long refreshing shower to be sure she didn¡¯t have dirt on her .


    She came out looking all refreshed and determined .


    When she starts making money  , she is sure Lucien would respect her and not see her as some liability .


    She opened the wardrobe and scanned through .


    She couldn¡¯t find anything official to wear , after all she wasn¡¯t looking for an office job because she had no certificate .


    She took out a blue jean and a white Polo and tucked it in the jean .


    Looking at herself in the mirror , she nodded smiling but just one thing remaining .


    She picked a brush and brushed her hair down , the room was well equipped and she was grateful the clothes were her size .


    I am good to go and with that she walked off to Quinn¡¯s room .


    ..


    Lucien woke up with a loud thud on his head , his head was hurting badly , he didn¡¯t feel like going to work today .


    He closed his eyes and fell asleep again .


    ..


    ¡°Quinn I need the money please ¡°Lucia begged again.


    ¡°Why would I give you money when you don¡¯t want to tell me what you need it for . Are you nning on running off ¡°Quinn asked .


    ¡°Ok fine , I n on using it to board a taxi , I really need to . go and find a job ¡°Lucia said taking in Quinn¡¯s expression .


    ¡± Why do you need a job? . You are not even fully healed. And I think my brother should be aware of this quest for a job ¡± Quinn rapped .


    ¡± Ok girl codes . You wont tell your brother that I am out looking for a job and two you should help a fellow girl in need.  It¡¯s the girl¡¯s code ¡± Lucia said wondering how she knew about girl code .


    ¡± Arrgh you got me , I will help you with the money and I will keep my mouth shut and cover up for you . But wait ¡± she said and walked to the side of her bag and brought out a smart phone .


    ¡°Here have this , this is my other phone , my sim is inside and a number you need to reach me is in it Incase anything goes wrong¡± Quinn said emphasizing on the wrong.


    ¡± Are you wishing me evil ¡± Lucia said feigning annoyance.


    ¡± No c¡¯mon I just said incase . All the best Lucia ¡± Quinn said and gave her a hug .


    Lucia smiled and hugged her back .


    Quinn is so nice , too bad her brother is mean .


    Lucia collected the money and phone and tucked it into her pocket .

    Lucia who was happy that Quinn had used a medium to bring her from the awkward conversation followed Quinn behind .


    ¡°So I need gists about your job today , full one ¡± Quinn said and turned around and pulled Lucia inside her room making Lucia groan .

    ¡± So you mean you want to work as a housekeeper¡± Quinn asked in disbelief .


    Despite that Lucia had no certificate with her , she could tell from her intonation to that she went  to school .

    ¡± Well I think I should go to bed , tomorrow is my first day at work yunno ¡°. Lucia said getting up and winking at Quinn who giggled .


    Lucia bumped into Lucien as she was about entering her room .


    She tried to dodge but he towered over her in a dominating way .


    ¡± So you haven¡¯t told me where you had been today , can I hear it ¡± Lucien said trying to be calm but he could see fear , nervous and a submissiveness in Lucia¡¯s eyes .

    He waited for the ne to take off before turning towards the direction of his car and walked towards it .


    He opened the door and got in before he drove off.


    ¡­ Jason parked his car close to the area he had picked up Cara the other day , he hoped she woulde out for lunch break .


    He really needs to see her.


    If she would agree to be his friend and also invite her for his birthdaying up soon .


    After waiting for some minutes and it seemed Cara wasn¡¯t nning oning out , she came out wearing a gown with a  V shaped neck which stopped a little below her knees making her look both presentable and hot.


    She looked like someone waiting for her ride , Jason immediately drove towards her .


    He was using his small car to see the impression she still had of him.


    Cara scoffed when she saw the face behind the wheels .


    What was it with this driver and the scrap he called a car .


    ¡± Hi do you care if I drop you ¡± Jason asked .


    ¡± Are you following me ? I  told you to stay away from me Cara said angrily .


    ¡°Well I just can¡¯t forget about you because I am attracted to you  and I am not following you it¡¯s just a mere coincidence  ¡± Jason said smiling and that infuriated Cara the more .


    She canceled the bolt ride she had just booked and got into the car  .


    Atleast that had cut down her expenses.


    ¡± So which restaurant are you headed¡± Jason asked looking at her .


    ¡± Royale ¡± she said nonchntly .

    Lucia finished setting the table and immediately the doorbell rang .


    She hoped Lucien would not be mad at her that she cooked.


    She hoped he would love the food .

    The amazing aroma from the food greeted Lucien¡¯s nose as he got inside .


    Was Thelma back already and already able to cook .


    He was going to ask her why she left his friend alone at the hospital .

    Huh I thought she said she was working ¡± Lucien thought.


    ¡± Wee back ¡± Lucia greeted as politely as she could .


    ¡± Why are you home by this time , or what kind of work did you even get ¡± Lucien asked immediately ignoring her greetings which hurt Lucia .


    ¡± Well I didn¡¯t get an office work because I don¡¯t have any certificates ¡± Lucia said not wanting to divulge on the job she does .


    ¡± Hmm .. I see . So what job did you get ¡± Lucien asked making Lucia scoff .


    Lucien raised an eyebrow as soon as Lucia scoffed .


    ¡°Did you just scoff ¡± he snapped .


    ¡± No I didn¡¯t ,¡± Lucia said with a small smile .


    ¡± So what work did you get ¡± Lucien repeated the question seeing she was ignoring it .


    ¡± Well with all due respect, I don¡¯t think that the work I do matters to you . ¡± Lucia said boldly.


    ¡± What do you mean that it doesn¡¯t matter to me ¡± Lucien asked feeling slightly embarrassed the way she had answered .


    ¡± Well what I meant was that , issues like job , family life and other personal stuffs are only told to friends and families and you don¡¯t fall into any ¡± she said giving him a small smile , patted his shoulder before walking away .

    The phone with her buzzed and she brought it out from her back pocket .


    It was just a random notification and a thumb up emoji from an unknown number .


    Another message came in immediately which read ¡± JASON , YOUR BOSS¡±


    A smile broke into her face as she felt fulfilled that she had performed her first work perfectly well .


    She opened the door to her room and giggled softly before falling on the bed .


    .


    Lucien wondered who sent her a text that made her smile that way .


    ¡± Had she already gotten a boyfriend , but how . Has she regained her memory ¡± all this thoughts kept on running through Lucien¡¯s head .


    ¡± What was even wrong with him , what¡¯s going on in his head since his sister left ¡± he said ruffling his hair.


    A cool bath should solve all this .


    With that he ran upstairs into his room .


    .


    Ten minutester .


    Lucia peeped into the dinning room and found that Lucien had note out for lunch .


    She decided to go call him .


    Her cooking skills can¡¯t just go to waste like that .


    She chuckled at her own thoughts .


    On getting to the door of his room , the boldness she had felt earlier diminished .


    She felt herself chickening out .


    After some taking in and bringing out of breath , she knocked on the door and Lucien opened up immediately revealing him shirtless with just a short on .


    Lucia gulped at the sight of his well structured abs .


    ¡± Close up your mouth to avoid allowing something get in ¡± Lucien said smirking at her .


    ¡± I wasn¡¯t opening my mouth ¡± she snapped even when she knew she lied .


    ¡± Are you sure about that ¡± Lucien saiding fully out of the room making Lucia move back ,


    Lucien moved closer and Lucia moved back till her back touched the wall while Lucien ced his two hands by the wall caging her .


    ¡± So where you opening your mouth¡±  he asked and Lucia gasped wondering what it would feel like to kiss him .


    Lucien traced her eyes and saw it was on his lips and smirked .


    ¡± How about I just kiss you ¡± he said and Lucia¡¯s heart raced

    ¡± I don¡¯t know, I think you should ask him ¡± she said and she scoffed .


    ¡± Well why would he want me there . He is trying to be nice which is so funny because it  doesn¡¯t suit him ¡± Lucia said  making Thelmaugh .


    If only she knew how Lucien is very nice , she wouldn¡¯t be saying this ¡± Thelma thought .


    ¡± Well maybe you are really needed there ¡± Thelma said trying not to say anything out of ce .


    ¡± Hmm fine I am done ¡± she said looking at the knee length gown with silver sequence on it .

    Well this was a decent ce to work at.


    The security wondered if Jason was okay at the way he smiled at the environment .


    ¡°Humm where¡¯s thedy who was here with the car ¡± he asked calmly .

    ¡°Well thedy fainted and my CEO carried her . I think to the hospital . Maybe you should ask Ms Cara ¡± the security said and Jason felt his heart beat increase at the name Cara.


    ¡± There would be no need.  I just need your CEO¡¯S number ¡± Jason said dipping his hands in his pocket to draw out his wallet and he didn¡¯t fail to notice the smile on the security¡¯s face .

 Chapter 20 Engagement party

    Lucien gasped as she stared at the beautiful fancy restaurant she had drove into now.


    Even Thelma was wowed because she hadn¡¯t seen this ce before.


    She wondered where Derick would be because they left earlier leaving them with the address which they had located with a goggle map.


    Thelma got down dressed in a blue flowing gown with pair of heels to match and a clutch purse .


    She looked real beautiful .


    ¡± So I am wondering if today is your wedding day because you really had a lot of m here and there ¡± Lucia said making Thelma giggle .


    ¡± Well dear Lucia today is more than a wedding day to me ¡± she said and walked away before Lucia would ask her questions she didn¡¯t want to answer now.


    Lucia stared at Thelma as she walked away.


    She couldn¡¯t exin what she meant but well she is here and she has eyes .


    So perfect


    She followed her lead and walked into the restaurant .


    A wow escaped her lips as she looked around .


    Such fineness .


    Thelma caught sight of Derrick and Lucien sitting on a table at a dimly lit side and she walked to that direction signalling to Lucia also who looked lost gazing at the beautiful interiors ..


    Derrick quickly stood up and drew out a chair for her as she sat down shyly.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Lucia held out her seat and Derick winked at Lucien to draw out her seat also but Lucien rolled his eyes which made Lucia scoff because she had not failed to notice the eyes exchange .


    She drew out her chair and sat down.


    ¡± So what¡¯s popping up ¡± she asked inquisitively making Lucien roll his eyes


    ¡± What ady ¡± he said slowly making Lucia feel like killing him immediately. .


    ¡± Uhmm excuse me everyone ¡± Derick said and made a sign with Lucien before standing up .


    ¡± So what would you like to eat Thelma¡± Lucien asked and Lucia scoffed wondering why he had not asked her .


    Immediately the lights went off and Thelma became scared same as Lucia.


    ¡± Are we about to be kidnapped , why does this fancy restaurant not have a standby electricity panel ¡± Lucia said with a fearful tone .


    ¡± Calm down Thelma , calm downdies. ¡± Lucien asked trying not to be suspicious.


    Immediately a soft music was ying at the background and their eyes moved to the direction of the music and the light got on revealing a well decorated restaurant now and at the far end Derick on his kneels with a box containing a shiny golden ring in his hands.


    Thelma felt tears build up in her eyes as she saw the different banners and designs hanging everywhere.


    ¡± Will you marry me ¡± came the slow words from Derrick¡¯s lips which sent shudders.


    ¡± Yes I will anytime at all¡± Thelma answered with joy in her .


    Lucia felt her eyes water and quickly wiped it before it could drop and sniffed wondering if she had someone who loves her in her previous memories .


    Lucia stared wide eyes at her .


    Was she crying .


    Hmm women can be so dramatic¡± he thought .


    ¡± Ok let the party begin ¡± Lucien said as everyone ranging from their friends and families joined the gathering and the music started rolling in .

    Cara took off her heels as she sat down on her bed.


    Hmm she can¡¯t really ce why she didn¡¯t believe the security guy and her mind drifted back .


    Back*


    Cara picked up the phone and phoned the security who reported to her immediately.


    ¡± Who is that guy that drove off with thatdy¡¯s car just now ¡± she said trying to sound normal and not like someone prying .


    ¡± Oh he said he came to take the car for his madam ¡± he said and Cara twitched her brows.


    ¡± Are you telling me the truth ¡± she asked looking at his eyes which were everywhere else but not on her .


    ¡± Yes why would I lie ¡± he said and Cara found nothing else to do than to tell him to leave .


    ¡± Go ¡±  she said and he immediately exited.


    ¡± So she is also rich that¡¯s why Lucien was attracted to her but why was she at his ce the other time . Are they cohabitating¡± she sighed as all these thoughts ran through her head. .


    Cara palmed her face as she thought about everything .


    Something doesn¡¯t seem right to her but there¡¯s nothing she could do about it . .


    She took her clothes off and dumped it in theundry basket before walking into the bathroom.


    ¡­


    ¡± Yay go Lucia, go Lucia ¡± were the voices heard from few guys as Lucia whined her waist to the beat of the music .


    Lucien knew she was under the influence of strong alcohol but he didn¡¯t force her to have them .


    He smiled as he watched Thelma and Derrick dance with love and admiration .


    They would make a cute couple: he knew of it and can¡¯t wait to n their wedding .


    A sh of bottle by his side alerted him as he saw Lucia pointing a half broken bottle at one of the guys.


    ¡± If you touch me again, I kill you ¡± Lucia said in anger .


    ¡± Are you seriously talking to me in that manner.  Me Draco ¡± the guy shouted back .


    Lucien watched and wondered how these rude guys got into here .


    He noticed the exchange of words and saw that Lucia was already tired and was falling asleep due to the influence of alcohol and he knew that if he didn¡¯t step in , she might be hurt .


    He tried to convince himself that he was just doing it to avoid ruining Derrick¡¯s engagement but his spirit was saying something else .


    He walked towards her and snapped at the guy who was about carrying her.


    ¡± Who are you barking at ¡± he said making Lucien smile.


    ¡± Stay away from her and away from here if you don¡¯t want to incure the SPENCER¡¯S FAMILY WRATH . ¡± He said and he could see the fear in his eyes as he quickly hurried off.


    Lucien turned to look at Lucien and before he could say anything she slid on his shoulder and threw up on him ¡­

    Lucia woke up the next morning with a serious hangover as she wondered how she got homest night.


    She tries to remember all that happened but was instead greeted with a serious headache which sent her crashing on the bed .


    She really needed to have some pills but no one is around to get her any .


    Lucien won¡¯t even bother to help her even though he is around .


    She decided to justy down quietly and have a nap maybe it would be more better when she wakes up again .


    Lucian watched Lucia from his rooms camera and  found out she was having a hangover , a part of him wanted to ignore but he decided to go get her some pills and make her some soup then he  can now tease  her about yesterday¡¯s night


    He put on his shirt and headed for the kitchen, called his gate man to go hand her the pills.


    He  didn¡¯t want her to feel like he cares about her that¡¯s why he sent him instead .


    He turned on the cooker as he prepared the soup for her , he also needed it as he is feeling some slight headache also .


    He couldn¡¯t believe that Lucia had threw up on him yesterday and it had been an embarrassing sight becqys she had slept off immediately leaving him to carry her out of the ce.


    ¡± Sir on getting to her room , she was asleep so i dropped the tablets there instead ¡± the gateman said and Lucien nodded not sparing him a nce and he took it as a cue to leave .

    Two days ago , Dos had asked her to be his girlfriend and she had dly epted even though she had been teased and mocked at because she was dating a dumb guy but that wasn¡¯t in anyway anybody¡¯s problem because she loved him .


    She didn¡¯t even bother to tell Ma¡¯am Kim anything about Dos although she had been prying to know her friends but she had always waved her off .

    Lucua woke up and felt a little bit better as she dragged herself to the bathroom to take her bath .


    She would just call sir Jasonter to take an excuse for not being at work today.


    She took her bath quickly and got out of the bathroom .


    Picking a sweatpants and a hoodie , she slides in..


    She picked up her phone and saw missed calls from Jason , Quinn and she sighed .


    She would call themter when she was in her right state of mind but first thing first was to go make some hangover soup for herself and that was when her eyes sighted the pills on her bedside table and she smiled .


    Lucien got her pills , this is some miracle if she must confess .


    She quickly took the pills downing it with the water she drops by her bed side every night and she felt much more calm now .


    She came out of the room and a very nice aroma greeted her nose.


    Hmm who was cooking, it can¡¯t be Thelma ¡± she thought and chuckled by the thought of seeing Thelma in the kitchen. .


    She walked gently to the kitchen and met a shirtless Lucien with just an apron on his short cooking .


    She gulped as her eyes traced his well structured abs  .


    She continued staring until he spoke up.


    ¡± Will you stop staring and just tell me I am so handsome ¡± he said with a smirk not bothering to look at her .


    Lucia rolled her eyes at his guts.


    ¡± Thank you from getting me those pills , I owe you one ¡± she said instead diverting his question .


    ¡± Yes you sure do owe me one and I will be telling you what you owe me over lunch ¡± he said making Lucia wonder what sort of request was he going to make now.


    ¡± Is there anything I can help you with. ¡± She asked  politely.


    ¡± Yes , help me arrange these tes on the dinning table ¡± he said and Lucia immediately did as he requested , grateful that he wasn¡¯t rude as usual. .


    Lucien dished out the meal he prepared and carried to the dinning.

    ¡°Ok tell me your favourite things to do , like your hobbies ¡± Lucien asked as they settled down to watch a movie as Lucien requested after eating .


    ¡± Well I don¡¯t really know what I would say are my favourite things since I can¡¯t even remember my name ¡± Lucia answered making Lucien chuckle .


    Lucia smiled at Lucien , a very small smile because she was still trying to get acquainted to his new state of friendliness .


    ¡± So what movie do you think we should watch ¡± he asked handing her the movie files to pick the one she deem fit .


    Lucia looked at the files and picked out one which she felt would be interesting .


    Handing it over to Lucien, a grin formed on his face .


    If only she had checked the genre , she would have known that the movie was horror anddies were scared of anything horror .


    Lucien slotted the disc in and went into the kitchen to get a bowl of popcorn that had been prepared .


    Turning off the light , he sat at the edge of the chair Lucia was sitting leaving her to seat at the other edge .


    He knew in a matter of minutes she would clung to him .


    Lucien watched as the movie came up with the screeching sounds making Lucia wonder why the name  SINNER OR SAINT would be starting this way .


    ¡± Arrgh ¡± she screamed as she ran to where Lucien was.


    What in the name of a vampire was there


    ¡± Please let¡¯s change this movie ¡± she begged and Lucien just smiled patting her back .


    ¡± Rx , it¡¯s not that scary the way you think it is ¡± he said and Lucia tried to be calm .


    The film continued smoothly untill a scene came up and a knife was stabbed and used to bring out the intestines in him .


    ¡± Ahhh ¡± she said clinging to him .


    Lucien felt the warmth on his body and hugged her closer to him self calming her down .


    He stood up and turned on the light and Lucia heaved a sigh of relief as she turned off the TV .


    ¡± That was very scary ¡± Lucia said in fright still getting hold of herself .


    ¡± Are you that scared . It¡¯s just animation and film trick ¡± he said and Lucia rolled her eyes .


    ¡± It felt so real , can¡¯t you see the way he drew out that knife ¡± she said and Lucien rolled his eyes in a feminine way that made Lucia giggle .


    ¡± Good to see youugh after those screams ¡± he said and Lucien smiled shyly .


    ¡± Why the sudden change¡± Lucia asked all of a sudden .


    ¡± Huh ¡± he answered trying to buy time to think of the question .


    ¡± Why did you be nice.  Did something happen yesterday night when I was drunk ¡± Lucia asked staring at him .


    ¡± I just felt like being friends with you because Quinn has been on my neck to be your friend ¡± he said grinning.


    ¡± So he can¡¯t be my friend if his sister was not involved ¡± Lucia thought sadly .


    ¡± Ok that¡¯s nice , uhmm I gotta go to bed ¡± she said trying to hold back her tears .


    ¡± Why? Are you not enjoying mypany . Did i say something wrong ¡± Lucien asked worriedly.


    ¡± No it¡¯s nothing¡­* Before she couldplete her statement, tears streamed down her face and she ran upstairs in tears.

    ¡± Luciae on out . Did I say anything wrong ¡± Lucien asked for the umpteenth time but was greeted by the sobs and sneezes .


    ¡± Gawd women can be so dramatic ¡± He said still trying to pin point what in the hell made her cry .


    ¡± Lucia ¡± he called gently again when he heard the doorbell rang .


    ¡± Who is looking for him at this ungodly hour of the night¡± Lucien asked walking to the door .


    Lucia who has been sobbing wiped her tears as she wondered who would be at the door.


    ¡± Certainly not Derrick ¡± she thought opening her door gently .


    Lucien got to the door and opened it and was surprised to see his cousin Ken at the door.


    ¡± I thought you wereing next week ¡± he said not bothering to ept his greetings.

    She shut the door immediately she entered her room and jumped on the bed quickly.


    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you are Keen on sleeping in my room . You just came and you are already on my neck dude ¡± Lucien said and Ken smacked his lips in a way that annoys Lucien  .


    ¡± Is there ady not dressed in the room , you could just tell me to wait while she dresses up ¡± Ken said looking at Lucien who was obstructing him from entering his room through the door .


    ¡°Gosh what the hell do you think of in your dirty mind ¡± Lucien said leaving the way for him to enter exactly what Ken wanted .


    A gasp escaped his mouth as he marvelled at the beauty of the room.


    ¡± Wow beautiful ¡± he said sitting on the couch there .


    ¡± Make yourselffortable , the bathroom is by the other corner ¡± he said pointing his hands to where he was talking about .


    ¡± You have said something meaningful since I came ¡± he said and Lucien grinned as he closed the door .


    Ken was no doubt a pain in the ass but Lucien was happy he was here atleast to make his house lively since Derrick won¡¯t have his time for the now .


    He walked off to Lucia¡¯s room still wondering why she started crying a while ago .


    He knocked on the room and Lucia opened the door while he stepped in and shut the door immediately not wanting Ken to see her now .


    He is so going to be frightened when he sees her .


    Lucia looked at Lucien wondering what was going through his head since he got here .


    ¡± Was he nning to send her away ¡±


    Did she do anything wrong ¡± she asked herself.


    ¡± Lucia why did you have to run in that way . You gave me a scare ¡± Lucien said after sitting down on the couch there .


    He made sure each of his room almost resembles his room in everything except some few interiors that he added to his.


    ¡± Sorry about that but I do not want to talk about it at all ¡± she said and Lucien nodded knowing what she just said she really meant it.


    ¡± Ok I will be downstairs , my cousin just came in and I think we both need to catch up . You cane have dinnerter anyway ¡± he said standing up and walked towards her and pecked her cheeks before going out leaving Lucia shocked .

    He just needs to text then and hope he gets urgent reply.

    ¡± Well let me just say I took a day off to have some time with my cousin , that big head ¡± he said  and Lucia gulped wishing he had taken a day off for her but what was she even thinking .


    She wasn¡¯t going to break down in tears again. Lucien watched the different emotions that yed on her face and became confused .


    Well he himself wondered why he had lied to her in the first ce .


    He hadn¡¯t taken a day off because of Ken but because of her and wants to take her to the beach today but he wasn¡¯t going to be that open

    Lucia felt her heart beat as Lucien kissed her softly . She was surprised she wasn¡¯t pulling back but was entertaining the kiss .


    His hands roamed her back and a little gasp escaped her lips .


    She felt a hand tap her and she jerked up to see Ken¡¯s face staring at her. .


    Wait she had been dreaming


    ¡± Why were you kissing your pillow when I got here ¡± he asked in an amusing manner making Lucia take a swift look at her pillow and was shocked to see her lips mark were on the pillow really .


    Why did she have to dream about such a thing like that .


    ¡± Still thinking about what you did , well Lucien asked me to tell you to prepare because we would soon go to the beach ¡± he said and started walking away after giving her a wink but stopped abruptly at the door and smiled at her .


    ¡± Well it might also interest you that you moaned ¡± he said and giggled dodging the pillow that Lucia threw at him before exiting the room.


    ¡± Damn ¡± she muttered ruffling he face .


    Thank goodness it wasn¡¯t Lucien that came in at that time .Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    It would have been embarrassing .


    She quickly got up and walked into the bathroom to get a quick shower .

    Dos entered the house with mixed feelings as soon as he entered.


    He knew his dad would be unhappy well unhappy was an understatement . He would be so mad at him and that was why he needs to hide Cami for the time being.


    He knew it was going to be tough for both of them and he has himself to me for falling for her but it wasn¡¯t his will to teach his heart who to be with. .


    ¡± Son your are back ¡± his mom said as soon as he entered the sitting room .


    ¡± Yeah mom where¡¯s Angel and dad ¡± he asked whispering the dad .


    ¡± Dos you look tensed , is there anything the problem ¡± his mom asked ignoring his question .


    ¡± Mom I am fine, you don¡¯t have to be worried about me ¡± he said and took the stairs immediately to avoid further questions that would make him spill his secrets .


    He bumped into his  sister as he got up the stairs, she was not looking good at all .


    ¡± What¡¯s the matter angel ¡± he asked and she blinked tears from her eyes .


    ¡± Dad is taking me along to Mysia , he said he needs me to oversee his deals there ¡± she said and Dos felt his heart tear  .


    Dad is about to start entangling my sister into his dirty Mafia deals .


    ¡± Angel calm down , I will try to talk to dad ¡± he said and patted her back while she sniffed in tears .


    He walked to his  room and  changed his clothes into a jean and polo before walking to the ce his dad loves to be anytime he is back from his deals. .


    He knocked on the door and he got no reply signifying he coulde in.


    If he didn¡¯t want him toe in he wouldn answer.


    That¡¯s his  dad¡¯s way and they are used to it .


    He opened the door and met him signing some deals with hisputer and he took a seat beside him.


    ¡± Dos where have you been ¡± he asked not sparing him a nce .


    ¡± I don¡¯t give anyone¡¯s an exnation on where i should be or do I now ? ¡± He  asked throwing my  question back at him .


    ¡± Hmmm smart , I see you have grown into a daring youth who can talk back to me anyhow you feel like ¡± he said and he just smirked .


    ¡± So dad where the hell are you taking angel to ¡± he  asked him trying all possible best to be calm .


    ¡± Mysia ¡± he answered working on hisptops still .


    ¡± But dad she can¡¯t go there , you are trying to robe her into your dirty deals ¡± Dos aid and anger shed through his dad¡¯s eyes through the way his face crumpled but he straightened it immediately .


    ¡± Then I would take you along ¡± he said and Dos  flinched .


    Dos wasn¡¯t expecting that reply .


    ¡± Dad I can¡¯t go with you to. Mysia , I still need to go to school and all that ¡± he said and his dad looked at him with a scowl .


    ¡±  That¡¯s why I am taking your sister . What is your¡­. Wait is that somedies lip gloss on your cheek ¡± he said and he turned to the mirror there and became scared a bit.


    No doubt it was Cami¡¯s ; when she had pecked him when he was about leaving .


    ¡± It isn¡¯t dad , just forget about it and let us be serious now ¡± Dos said and he grinned .


    ¡± Don¡¯t tell me you have a girlfriend now ¡± he said with a small smile .


    ¡± I don¡¯t think it¡¯s your business to know about that ¡± he said with a nk expression .


    ¡± I am taking your sister and that¡¯s final or else. .. you want to fill in her space ¡± he said and focused his full attention back to theputer leaving him to bury his head in defeat .


    After some minutes , Dos took a final look at his dad before leaving .


    He bumped into his sister by the door who had probably been eavesdropping .


    ¡± You will go with dad right ¡± she asked her eyes filled with hope .


    Dos looked at her with a solemn expression and shook his head.


    ¡± I am sorry but I can¡¯t leave Korea ¡± he said and her eyes watered .


    ¡± What about my boyfriend , my friends . Dos you have always been introverted , you can cope ¡± she said tugging at his shirt.


    ¡± I am still introverted but I can¡¯t leave my girlfriend when she needs me the most ¡± he said , ced a kiss on her forehead and headed outside to meet Cami .


    Angel felt her world tear up as she sat on the floor in tears  .


    Immediately the door opened and her father came out and looked at Angel in her heart wrenching state and sighed .


    ¡± Angel let¡¯s make a deal if you don¡¯t want toe along with me ¡± he said squatting to her level . .


    ¡± What¡¯s the deal dad¡± she said wiping her tears .


    ¡± Get me the identity of your brothers girlfriend ¡± he said stretching out his hands and angel flinched .


    Why would her dad be so keen in letting her go if she finds his girlfriend .


    But that wasn¡¯t her business.


    She wants to also know his girlfriend also and if finding out would make her free then she would .


    She took her dad¡¯s waiting hand and muttered a Deal making her dad smile shortly. .

    Lucia felt all eyes on her as she stepped out of the changing room in her beautiful bikini which brought out her perfect shape .


    She took steady strides to where the guys were ignoring the stares and ravishing that eyes were doing to her body .


    Ken was the first person to see her as she approached and his lips dropped open.


    ¡± Hot ¡± he muttered and Lucien who was setting up their beach tent turned around and felt different feeling overwhelmed him .


    He doesn¡¯t know what the feelings are but he sure liked it .


    ¡± Why much stares , ¡± Lucia asked as he got to them .


    ¡± I wasn¡¯t staring ¡± Lucien said turning back to his tent and Ken and Lucia chuckled .


    ¡± Lucia you look amazing , love your curves ¡± he said and Lucien coughed slightly .


    ¡± Dude ¡± Ken said andughed.


    ¡± Thanks Ken ¡± Lucia said going to join Lucia in arranging the tent .


    ¡°Uhmm I will just go get some drink over there , Lucia mind if youe with me ¡± Ken said and before Lucia could respond .


    ¡± She is helping me set up some things here so bye ¡± Lucien said trying to act all professional .


    ¡± Never knew you were her mouthpiece , jealous jerk ¡± he said and hurried away not before winking at Lucia which made Lucien scoff .


    As soon as Ken left , Lucia turned to look at Lucien .


    ¡± So what do you want me to help you with ¡± Lucia asked biting her bottom lips not knowing the effect it had on him.


    ¡± All I want you to help me with is your lips and some kisses here and there ¡± he said all in his head .


    ¡± Can you stop doing that ¡± Lucien said .


    ¡°Doing what ?? ¡± Lucia asked innocently biting her bottom lips making Lucien groan .


    ¡± Damn stop biting your bottom lips ¡± he said in frustration .


    ¡± Why should I ¡± she  asked  still confused. .


    ¡± If you continue biting your lips , I am going to kiss you so bad that your lips would burst and gush out blood. ¡± He said and Lucia blinked her eyes in SUPRISE .Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡± Lucien would kiss her ¡± she thought .


    ¡± I dare you ¡± she said taking her lips inside and licking around it  .


    Lucien pulled her unexpectedly and she fell on him and their eyes were involved in an eye contest .


    He pulled her closer and without waiting took her lips in .

    ¡± If anything happens to my daughter Stuart , I will kill you . Nothing must happen to Cami . ¡± She said and hung up the phone .


    Mr Stuart threw the phone to the wall in annoyance.


    He wondered who had taken his daughter .


    There is no one he can ask since his daughter only had one friend ..


    Immediately a thought came to his mind .


    Damn He is so going to deal with Gavier if he had his daughter or better still if his son is with her. .


    With that he picked up the phone and stormed out of the house .


    He entered his car and drove off not wanting any of his men toe with him .


    Few minutes into the ride , his phone rang and low and behold it was Cami .


    He picked it up without hesitation and parked his car by the side of the road .


    ¡± Hey dad it¡¯s me , I am fine , I called to tell you I am no longer in the country but I will be fine.  I have some funds tost me ¡± she said and muttered an I love you before hanging up not giving the dad an opportunity to speak .

    Cami hoped her dad wasn¡¯t going to act suspicious and find her here .


    She had refused leaving her school because she loved it there but now she was leaving the country .


    Her dad shouldn¡¯t be suspicious .


    She saw three missed calls from an unknown number and was about calling back when Dos walked into the room with a bag in his hands .


    He looked tired and miserable as he sat on the bed .


    ¡± Dos what¡¯s wrong ¡± she saiding down from the bed where shey wearing his shirt he had found on the wardrobe .


    ¡± I am fine , just need a shower and food ¡± he typed out on his phone and Cami thanked God it was just that .


    She thought he was sending her away.


    ¡± Ok I will run you a hot bath and go prepare noodles since that is the fastest meal I know ¡± she said walking to the bathroom swaying her hips which were barely covered in the shirt .


    Dos felt his junior jerk but he wasn¡¯t even in the mood and this wasn¡¯t the right time .


    He needs to protect Cami from Dad at all means .

    ¡± Dos you are so cheezy ¡± Cami said as they walked down the stairs after Dos had taking his bath  .


    ¡± I am not don¡¯t be silly ¡± he responded on his pear pad with him and smiled .


    Cami looked at him and smiled .


    ¡± Dos don¡¯t you think there might be a solution to your inability to talk . We should find out . You would look more irresistible once you talk ¡± she said and Dos frowned .


    ¡± You mean I am notplete without my speech . You want to leave me ¡± he typed making Cami groan .


    ¡± Don¡¯t be silly , you know I didn¡¯t meant that ¡± she said ruffling his hair and Dosughed and carried her up to the dinning where the meal has been served .


    They were about eating when the doorbell rang scaring Dos but he hid it .


    Cami was about going to get it when Dos signaled for her to sit down .


    Dos stood up and prayed it wasn¡¯t his father or perhaps Cami¡¯s dad .


    He sent her a text asking her to go upstairs and she obeyed not without putting on a confused face .

    ¡± Well I came to see you ¡± she said with a small smile which she used to mask her confusion why her brother was being worked up .


    ¡± I just left the house so I don¡¯t buy that lie ¡± Dos said calmly .


    Angel breathed in and out before talking


    ¡± I don¡¯t  see why you are so worked up about this , its not like this is the first time I have been here with you ¡± she said and Dos red at her .

    ¡± Take a chill pill . Dos I need to take off this boots . My legs ache ¡± she said gesticting on the boots she was wearing and Dos smirked .


    ¡± Well little princess Gavier , you have to go home to take off your boots and if it so pleases you , have this dor notes and get yourself a pair of t when you get out now ¡± he said pointing to his car making Angel¡¯s lips drop in shock .


    ¡°Dos was sending her out ¡± she thought .

    ¡± Damn mission unaplished . Wee to Mysia for her ¡± she said with shaky fingers as she turned on the ignition , reversed and drove out .


    Dos released the series of breaths he didn¡¯t know he was holding as she drove out .


    It was hard pulling the stunt .


    He just didn¡¯t want her in now because he has an instinct that she was sent by dad  .


    He turned and started walking into the house after seeing the gates already shut .


    Thanks to the automatic gate he has.


    He ced his finger on the fingerprint sensor and the door opened revealing Cami with a mean face.


    His heart raced fast .

    ¡± Why didn¡¯t you tell me ¡± she asked with a frown and Dos immediately knew that she had found out .


    ¡± I was going to tell you ..


    ¡± When Dos , when was that ¡± she asked and Dos shook .


    ¡± Soon ¡± he whispered .


    ¡± Why  dont you want to tell me that you had an arcade room here . Damn games ¡± she said with a smile and Dos felt his head race .

    She was tired due to yesterday¡¯s night partying with her friends but her mom wouldn¡¯t just let her sleep because of some new neighbors who she knew wouldn¡¯t fancy her.

    ¡± In my former school , I had a girlfriend Mia , she was my ideal girlfriend , she was so close to me not until Jason enrolled in our school , we both had some fight and Jason had wounded me on the eyes . I became partially blind but everyone felt I had really gone blind for good because my sight was really bad ,. ¡°Dos said and stares at Cami who was listening with keen interest before continuing .


    ¡± So I relied on Mia for help in school at times and within a week she was tired of helping me . She became very mean and rude to me and sometimes left me in a danger zone sometimes . I felt useless and to crown it all , while trying to save the rtionship , Mia bluntly told me it was over . She spat it in my face that I was blind and had nothing to offer her anymore and that was when I left school . Dad was against it but I had to flee home for two weeks and when I returned I slowly regained my sight . I got a transfer letter from the school and made sure Mia saw me on the day I left and realized she lost me but I was the one who got heart broken instead because I found her smooching with Jason who had caused me this pain . I couldn¡¯t withold the pain so I left the school immediately and that was why I devised that medium . ¡± Dos exined and Cami¡¯s eyes were already filled with tears as she hugged him tight .


    ¡± I am sorry doss , so sorry for all the pains you went through ¡± Cami said patting his back .


    Dos felt his heart tear as he knew he still had a secret he hasn¡¯t told her about his dad and he hoped at the right time it wouldn¡¯t cause a big problem for him because at this stage of his life , he wouldn¡¯t want to lose Cami .

    ¡± Thanks for today.  See you after sses tommorow. I would be resuming next week ¡± he said and Quinn nodded .


    ¡± That¡¯s fine . I will leave you now . Gotta run off ¡± she said and the next action of Damon shocked her .


    He drew her close and pecked her cheeks before leaving a light kiss on her forehead .

    rm rings


    6am .


    Lucia jumps out of bed after putting off the rm .


    She said a very short and simple prayer before running into the bathroom .


    She took off her nightie and dropped it in theundry basket there .


    She took her toothbrush and toothpaste from where it was kept on the counter and brushed her teeth making sure it shone in the mirror .


    She turned on the tub before getting it and started scrubbing herself clean .


    After making sure she was filthy clean , she stepped out of the bathroom and collected the towel and dried her body with it before tying it on her body and wrapping a smaller one over her head .


    She stepped out of the bathroom and hang and opened the wardrobe and got a blue penciled skirt that stopped at the knee and a blue chiffon ir top with a V neck and some shiny golden flowers at the rim of it ..


    She took off her towel from her head and  dried her hair with the dryer beforebing it  .


    She parked her hair in a messy bun and left few tendrils to dangle at the front.  .


    She attached a blue pin flower to the edge of her hair before applying nude makeup to her face and lip gloss to match .


    She wore a blue ts toplete her dressing before picking a bag to match it. .


    She checked the time and it was 6:30 am and smiled at her smartness .


    She opened the door and walked down the stairs to the kitchen .


    She knew nobody would be awake now. .


    She walked into the kitchen and switched the light bulb on and was shocked to see Lucien also entering in .


    The ss Lucien was holding fell down and shattered into pieces as he stared at Lucia .


    ¡± You look beautiful ,¡± the words found its way out of his mouth.  .


    Lucia smiled as he looked at Lucien who was dressed in a blue tuxedo with some yellow designs ..


    ¡± Good morning , what would you want for breakfast ¡± Lucia asked getting the broom and parker by the door side which she used in sweeping the sses that had broken there.


    ¡± You ..  sorry I want Toasted bread and tea ¡± he said slightly embarrassed making Lucia chuckle as she got to work. .


    ¡± Thanks for the job , I do appreciate ¡± she appreciated sincerely and Lucien nodded .


    ¡± It¡¯s nothing ¡± He said simply before walking out of the kitchen to stop the nasty things he was thinking of .


    Lucia brought out the Milk, Milo , Sugar for tea and the Bread , pepper , onions , salt for the toasted bread and began cooking immediately .


    ¡­.


    Lucia hummed to the musicing out of the car stereo system as Lucien drove them to work .


    Lucien shifted ufortably in his seat as he drove down not happy about the lurking silence .


    ¡± Uhmm why did you agree to your ex boss request to woo my secretary .¡± He asked unable to take it anymore .


    Lucia winced as memories of that day came back and smiled .


    ¡± Why do you ask? ¡± She asked him making Lucien groan .


    He hadn¡¯t expected her to ask him a question in return .


    ¡± Well the silence is bing unbearable and I need a topic so that¡¯s why I thought of that ¡± he answered bluntly without mincing words .


    Lucia chuckled at his blunt words .


    ¡± Well I felt like helping him out because I don¡¯t have anything to do at home when I close from work ¡± she said and Lucien hummed .


    ¡± And too bad you crashed it ¡± he said with a chuckle making Lucia re yfully at him.


    ¡± Not my fault tho , I just couldn¡¯t assimte the events that went on ¡± she said truthfully. .


    ¡± Yeah but I think he is a chicken.  What guy doesn¡¯t know how to approach a guy and say the necessary things and flip he gets her ¡± Lucien said with a proud look making Lucia scoff.


    ¡± You think girls are that easy , that¡¯s so petty . Not all girls are that easy as you pose anyway ¡± she said and Lucien scoff .


    ¡± Ok why don¡¯t we see about that.  Let¡¯s make a bet ¡± Lucien said and Lucia eyed him suspiciously.


    ¡± Are you in or out ¡± he asked and Lucia took a deep sigh before nodding.


    ¡± You don¡¯t just nod , you say it ¡± Lucien said and Lucia sighed .


    ¡± Fine I am in ¡± she said and Lucien let out a cocky grin.  .


    ¡± Ok how long do you think I can make you fall for me ¡± he asked still facing his eyes on the road and Lucia felt her belly churn.


    ¡± Huh ¡± she asked in confusion.


    ¡± The bet , I am going to make you fall helplessly in love with me within two weeks and then you know girls are petty ¡± Lucien said and Lucia flinched.


    How was she to ept this crazy request .


    ¡± Then what happens after that ,,¡± she asked.


    ¡± If I win I will give you a thousand dors and if you lose you give me a thousand dors ¡± he said giving her a side grin .


    ¡± Fine ¡­.  ¡± She breathed out and Lucien gave her a sweet smile.


    Lucia¡¯s heart was already beating because she knew she already felt something for him and this was going to expose her feelings for him


    Z


    Damn what has she gotten herself into .


    ¡± We are here ¡± Lucien said bringing her out of her reverie and she wowed at the building as she took it on unlike the other day .


    Lucia picked her bag and got down from the car and Lucien handed her a card to give to the receptionist for direction and she smiled nervously before walking in .Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Lucien parked the car properly as he stared at Lucia¡¯s retreating figure and smiled .


    ¡°This was going to be one sweet bet ¡± he thought as he got down .

    So whose side are you on ?

    Lucia met with the receptionist at the floor of the building who gave her a sweet smile making her nerves calm down immediately .


    ¡± Good day Miss . How do I help you ¡± she asked .


    ¡± Hmm the CEO asked me to give you this ¡± she said handing her the card Lucien gave to her .


    The receptionist collected it and nodded as she read the simple information on the card and stood up immediately .


    ¡± Ok follow me ¡± she said and Lucia followed her walking briskly and holding her bag firm .


    They entered a hall where everyone was at their desk and Lucia felt all eyes on her making her unease .


    ¡± Wow she¡¯s hot ¡± she heard ady said giggling .Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡± Wow see those legs ¡± she heard anothermenter and on and on it went till they entered the elevator to the fifth and she didn¡¯t know when she let out a nervous breath.


    ¡± Nervous ahhn ¡± the receptionist said and she nodded .


    ¡± You don¡¯t have to be because you would be seeing more of them often ¡± she said and Lucia felt her head spin .


    ¡± Why would I see them more often ¡±


    ¡± Are you not going toe to the office and leave daily because that¡¯s the only route . Only the boss has another route and he doesn¡¯t even use it atimes. ¡± She said and Lucia nodded and just immediately the elevator opened preventing the receptionist from saying another word ..


    They came face to face to face with a door that read Human Resources at the entrance.


    ¡± You can go in . Good luck ¡± she said and immediately left Lucia alone to her fate .


    Lucia took in a deep breath before knocking on the door and waited for a response beforeing inside . ..  . . .


    The more chilled airing from inside the office greeted her as she saw a brown skinneddy sitting by herptop .


    ¡± Good morning Miss ¡± Lucia greeted.


    ¡± Good morning. You must be Lucia , the new assistant Human Resources Manager . ¡± Thedy said and she nodded .


    ¡± Ok I am Patricia the Human Resources Manager and it would be nice working with you . ¡±


    ¡± Yes it would be ¡± Lucia said looking around .


    ¡± Well your space is just by that corner to give you your privacy that¡¯s why I arranged the space that way . ¡± She said and she nodded smiling happily .


    ¡± Thank you and I appreciate your kind words ma. ¡± Lucia said before walking over to the table she had earlier pointed at .


    Patricia smiled happily as she knew the work would be less strenuous for her , both employing staffs and others would be more easier with an assistant around and this assistant would really helped her .


    She palmed her face as she remembered that she had forgotten to ask her name and so she stood up and walked to her table .


    She met Lucia cing her bag properly before taking a cup of water from the dispenser by her side .


    Lucia was surprised to see her.


    ¡± Any problem ma¡¯am¡± she asked .


    ¡± No not at all . And my name is not Ma ,.¡± Patricia asked giving her a light frown .


    ¡± Sorry about that . So do you need me to do anything for you ¡± she asked .


    ¡± That would be after you settle down . I just came to ask you your name so i can add you to our payroll ¡± she said and Lucia nodded .


    ¡± Ok my name is Lucia ¡± she said and Patricia nodded .


    ¡± Just Lucia , no other names ¡± she asked .


    ¡± No not at all . Lucia ¡± she said with a small smile  .


    ¡± Ok I will go to my desk now . After you settle down you cane so I can brief you about your job ¡± she said and Lucia nodded and watched her retreating figure before trashing the empty disposable cup into the trash can by the side there .


    She sat down and opened theptop before booting it on .


    She waited for it to finish booting and clicked on thepany¡¯s website there to find out the pay of an assistant Human Resources Manager since she has not been informed .


    She scrolled through the different jobs which were arranged in alphabetical order till she got to the letter  H .


    She saw the different jobs till she got to Human Resources Manager and found out the pay was a thousand dors and some allowance which amounts to two hundred dors. . . . . . . . . . . . . .  .


    She searched for Human Resources Manager assistant but it was not showing or present .


    That means there was not space for that .


    Does it mean ¡­.


    No it couldn¡¯t be .


    Does it mean that Lucien created the space because of her ¡­ . were the thoughts that ran through her head .


    Immediately her telephone started ringing and she picked it up and shook at the effect the voice gave her as he spoke .


    ¡± Settled in yet ¡± Lucien asked and Lucia got a hold of herself before answering .


    ¡± Yes I am trying to but Lucien .. sorry boss ¡± she corrected herself and hated how he chuckled at her silliness .


    ¡± So you were saying ¡± Lucien asked since she wasn¡¯t talking anymore. .


    ¡± I want to ask what my pay is ¡± she asked calmly .


    ¡± Check thepany¡¯s website on yourptop ¡± he said and Lucia scoffed .


    ¡± I am not a fool go not check that already ¡± she said and Lucien giggled at the anger she was feeling .


    ¡± Ok I can¡¯t talk about your pay over the phone so why don¡¯t youe to my office. ¡± He said and Lucia felt her belly churn with two feelings.


    She wasn¡¯t ready  to see him not until it was closing .


    ¡± Ok how do I locate your office ¡± she asked .


    ¡± Silly . My office is at the sixth floor by your left after a few turnings or better still ask the HR to direct you ¡± he said and Lucia nodded as if he could see her.


    ¡± See you soon ¡± he said  before disconnecting the call .


    .


    .


    She stood up immediately he dropped the phone before walking out of the office .


    She didn¡¯t find the HR on desk so she dropped a little note for her before entering the elevator to the sixth floor .


    She got there and asked the direction from someone she met on the floor .


    She found her way to the office and found ady at the adjoining office who stared at her with a mean face which scared her but she was quick to wave it off before knocking on the door and Lucien asked her toe in .


    Cara fished her palm as she felt her face go wrong.


    She is finding it funny what¡¯s going on between Lucien and thedy .


    First it was at his house . Then with a car and now she works here.


    What was going on ??


    She is ever ready to crush anyone who stands in her way to get Lucien and she wasn¡¯t an exception.

    Cara.  Ghennghen


    Who¡¯s ready for our two weeks love ride between Lucien and Lucia.


    Say Yay of you are ¡­


    Well I am.

 Wedding bells

    32


    Lucien used the remote button to open the door for Lucia to get in .


    If Lucia was wowed when she entered thepany then she was more than wowed now on getting into Lucien¡¯s office.


    The interiors were out of the world and she gave a mental high five to the interior designer wherever they are or whoever he is .


    Her gaze met Lucien who smiled at the way she was wowed .


    Everyone who entered his office were always wowed at it .


    Indeed he knew the designer had done a perfect and realistic job .


    Lucia¡¯s eyes strolled around as she looked at the beautiful designs that looked like they were sculpted but rather they were drawn. .


    As if a strange wind blew she immediately got herself and turned to Lucien .


    ¡± Good afternoon Lucien sorry boss. ¡± She said and Lucien nodded with a nk expression .


    ¡± Miss Lucia you may have your seat ¡± he said still focusing on theptop in front of him making Lucia wonder why the sudden change in expression .


    Not minding that she sat down on the soft office chair opposite him. ..


    ¡± So you were saying what on the telephone ¡± he said typing something on hisptop .


    ¡± I asked about my pay ¡± she said politely.


    ¡± So what about your pay Miss Lucia ¡± he asked and Lucia cringed .


    The Miss he was attaching to her name was making her feel ufortable.


    ¡± I wanted to know how much my pay is  ¡± she said trying to act fine but deep inside she wanted to know what went wrong or is it because they were at the office. .


    ¡± So why didn¡¯t you check the website ¡± Lucien asked in a more stricter and professional manner slightly looking at Lucia to know her expression to his changes.


    He almost cracked as he saw the way she was moving in her seat ufortably but withheld himself .


    ¡± I told you I checked when you called earlier . Didn¡¯t I ¡± she said slightly raising her voice .


    ¡± Are you raising your voice at me ¡± he asked with a cunny calm voice .


    Lucia breathed out .


    ¡± I am sorry Boss ¡± she said and sniffed .


    She already hated this his new side and if working for him will show her this new sure then she won¡¯t bother working with him again .


    ¡± Ok you said you checked the website and didn¡¯t find the pay there right ¡± he asked and Lucia who was already irritated by his unnecessary questions nodded .


    ¡­.


    Cara paced around her office wishing she could hear what was going on inside .


    But too bad he ignited his soundproof system and it was really surprising and irritating to her that he did because he never used the system except in some special asions and she doesn¡¯t see anything special with the assistant HR .


    ¡­.


    ¡± Ok the pay would be updated soon . Do well to check on the website before the end of the day ¡± he said and Lucia wiped her tears that was about to drop making Lucien worried .


    ¡± What¡¯s wrong , why are you tearing up ¡± he asked getting up from his seat and Lucia immediately got up running towards the door but Lucien was quick enough to hold her and turn her to himself .


    ¡± What¡¯s wrong Lucia ¡± he asked and Lucia didn¡¯t fail to notice he didn¡¯t add the Miss this time around .


    ¡± You were so mean . I am sorry I am tearing up boss ¡± she said trying to wipe her tears with her hands but Lucien offered her a hankie instead which she epted immediately .


    ¡± Clean up your tears and don¡¯t leave my office with such face . Wait for me by the car after closing hours . I will join you . You may leave ¡± he dropped the bomb making Lucia flinch .


    ¡± She thought he was being nice a few minutes ago . Is this guy bipr ¡± she thought and immediately wriggled out from his grip , sent him a mean re before walking out of the office.


    If not for one thing she would have quit but she just didn¡¯t want to act all weak to him .


    If he wants to act mean then she would be meaner ..


    She scoffed as she saw the red eyed Cara staring at her as she passed .


    ¡± Seems she is crushing on the bipr boss ¡± she muttered , giggling at the new nickname she had for him  before getting into the  elevator to fifth floor .


    ..


    Lucienughed as he watched the drama Lucia just disyed now .


    ¡± I thought she said girls are not petty . He hasn¡¯t even started bing nice to her and she was already tearing up . It would be a matter of a week before she falls helplessly for him ¡­Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    He grinned the more as he thought of it.


    Just a week and he wins the bet.


    But deep down he knew this was not a bet to him .


    This was a medium to win her heart and it was an easy one for him .

    Thelma sat on the bed as she scrolled through her Facebook news feed .


    She was nning on going to see Lucien next week.


    Derrick had told her to go invite Lucia for the wedding and she wants her to be her bridesmaid since Lucien was going to be Derrick¡¯s best man .


    She wants their spark to increase by the time the wedding was over.


    The wedding was in two weeks time and more than half of what was needed were ready , just a few things were not like telling Lucia.


    Paying for the hall , and some other minor things .


    She wanted this wedding to be over with quickly before her baby bump bes visible.


    She was a week gone , it had been detected by the hospital quickly making them hasten the wedding .


    . she can wait to be married to Derrick and also be a mother to his kids.


    She never believed this kind of beautiful thing is going to happen soon to her and Derrick has been  a wonderful husband to her .


    The door opened revealing Derrick with a te of Fruit sd .


    ¡± Babe here have some , I made for the baby .¡± He said and she frowned .


    ¡± What about me ¡± she asked making Derrick chuckle .


    Thelma was one hell of a drama queen .

 The Vomit

    33


    Lucia parked up her things and said bye to Patricia as she hurried out of the office to avoid Lucien leaving her or getting angry with her .


    She ignored the staresing from everyone as she ran out of the elevator straight out of thepany to where she noticed Lucien parked the car and breathed out as she leaned on the car eye searching for him .


    ¡± Will you get in or walk home ¡± she heard from inside the car making her flinch .


    The hell


    She thought she had being here first but she was wrong.


    She opened the door and got in the back seat making Lucien re at her. .


    ¡± Why are you at the back , Am I your driver or something ¡± he asked and she immediately got down before rushing to the front and noticed the re from thedy that was standing by the window upstairs .


    She knew the face was familiar but couldn¡¯t ce it and she remembered .


    Thedy by the side of Lucien¡¯s office and Lucia wondered what is her thing with mean res .


    If she thought that she was here to take Lucien away then she should stop worrying because she wasn¡¯t interested in a bipr boss .


    Lucien looked at Lucia as he drove out and wondered what was going in her head but kept mute about it . .


    He drove past a small fancy eatery and drove in .


    Lucia groaned because all she needs is a cold bath and some sleep and not cutting her journey short for him to eat .


    Lucien found somewhere nice to park and rode in before turning off the car .


    He got down and noticed Lucia was not making any move to get down .


    He ignored her and locked the door , moved to the side of hers and stretched out his hand for her to take it leaving Lucia stupefied .


    What¡¯s with this show off¡± she thought and then she remembered the bet .


    ¡± Hey dude if you think opening doors for me is going to win me over then juste off it .¡± Lucia said and Lucien scoffed before pulling her down.


    ¡± Ouch what was that for ¡± she asked closing the door behind her as Lucien held her hands sending current waves into her body as they walked inside .


    Lucien found a conspicuous space to seat and walked there with her.


    ¡± Sit here ¡± he said pulling out a chair for her and he could hear some girls close by make an aww sound .


    He was sure Lucia heard it also because she scoffed .


    Lucien settled down in the opposite seat  jingling the bell signifying a waiter.  .


    ¡± What may I offer you sir ¡± the waiter asked giving seductive gazes at him and Lucien shook his head as he stared at her from head to toe .


    ¡± I think you should ask my girlfriend what she wants first before me ¡± he said making Lucia cough slightly as the waiter turned to her with an indifferent face unlike the cheerful one she had shown to Lucien .


    Only  God knows how manydies are going to give her these mean look seeing them together.


    Thank God they were not even dating because it would be more worse .


    ¡± I will have a te of sd and some chicken meat ¡± she said and Lucia smiled at the waiter .


    ¡°What about you sir ¡± she asked putting on the beautiful face once again


    ¡± I will go with same thing my girlfriend wants. Just add a bottle of non alcoholic wine to it  ¡± he said and Lucia rubbed her hands together to calm her nerves .


    ¡± Curse the bet ¡± she muttered.


    The waiter left and soon immediately returned with their orders and a bottle of non alcoholic with ss cups .


    ¡± Do you know why I drove in here ¡± Lucien asked as he shoved some meat in his mouth.


    ¡± No I don¡¯t . I don¡¯t live in your mind to know ¡± she said and Lucien scoffed.


    ¡± A simple No would answer the question ¡± he said and she rolled her eyes sipping from the wine .


    ¡± Atleast you got my answer and my point .¡± She said and Lucien chuckled at her high will mind .


    ¡± You are not going to ask me why ¡± he asked and Lucia looked at him for a while before taking her eyes back to her food. .


    ¡± No ¡± she answered looking at Lucien who was turning some more wine into his cup .


    ¡± You are so impossible . Here I am looking for a way to make this evening lively but you are making this impossible for me ¡± Lucien said with a groan .C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    ¡± Fine just tell me why before you cry ¡± she said andughed .


    ¡± You are just crazy.  Well I brought us here to ease you the stress of preparing something when you get home ¡± he said and Lucia felt happy as he said that because that means he cares for her but she wasn¡¯t going to show it like he got her .


    ¡± Well that¡¯s not a big deal . Cooking is not stressful sir ¡± she said calling out the sir with a little hint if sarcasm ..


    ¡± You are just acting tough because I know deep down, you felt emotional by what I said now .¡± He said and Lucia scoffed as she rubbed her head with her palm .


    ¡± You wish dude.  I don¡¯t fucking love you . I don¡¯t ¡± she said and Lucien wondered what got into her but felt a little pain in his head but waved it off and he picked the wine button immediately and saw it was a little bit alcoholic.


    Thanks to the waiter for doing such mistake. .


    ¡± Lucia let¡¯s go home *¡± he said standing up .


    ¡± I don¡¯t want to go , let me be ¡± she said and Lucien went closer to her to help her up and she immediately threw up on him. .


    T BC


    Ok this would be a long drive home ¡­.


    Who else is ready ¡­.

 Quinn鈥檚 Damon

    Lucien carried Lucia down as soon as they got home since she dozed off after muttering some incoherent words after throwing up on him .


    He locked the door as he got down and steadied her in his arms .


    He had earlier gotten a call from Ken that he was going to crash in a friend¡¯s house by the school ande during the weekends .


    Lucien was going to miss his presence but there was nothing he could do about it because Ken is very stubborn.


    He climbed the stairs as he got in with ease .


    All thanks to Lucia¡¯s light weight body .


    He opened the door and dropped her on the bed making her stir a little but she closed her eyes again .


    Lucien couldn¡¯t leave her in that state because she was messed up and she needs to be cleaned but he didn¡¯t want her thinking of him taking advantage of her .


    He got up from the bed and paced around the room and aftering to a conclusion , he walked up to the bed and started unbuttoning the buttons on her blue long sleeved shirt and was met with her white camisole and Lucien was grateful she wore a camisole inside .


    He raised her to one side before taking off her one side of the shirt before doing same to the other side . . . . . .


    He went into the bathroom and got some water in a pail bucket and a towel and wiped her face clean .


    After cleaning other parts of her exposed body , he covered her with the duvet before returning the bucket to the bathroom and left the room .


    As soon as he got to his room , he took off his messed up tuxedo and after dropping it in theundry basket , he walked into the bathroom to take a refreshing shower ¡­

    Mani ¡­


    ¡°Mom I am leaving ¡± Quinn called out from the stairs checking out herself in the big mirror by the stairs making Mrs Spencer shake her head as she walked down .


    ¡± When did you be this early Quinn Spencer ¡± her mom asked making Quinn cough slightly .


    ¡± Mome on . I have always been early and you know it ¡± she said adding a few more butterfly clips to her already packed hair .


    ¡± Not this early .. and what¡¯s with you and appearance these days ¡± she asked making Quinn groan.


    ¡± Mom I have always been this way , you just haven¡¯t noticed ¡± Quinn said and the doorbell rang preventing her from saying any other thing .


    Quinn ran downstairs as she heard it .


    She knew only one person would be there .


    She opened the door and just as she had expected .


    Damon was there all ready to go to school .


    Damon had told her he was an early bird  when he resumed and Quinn was trying to meet up .


    ¡± You look beautiful ¡± Damon said and Quinn felt her face flush .


    ¡± Thanks and you don¡¯t look bad either ¡± she said with a small smile .


    ¡± Yeah shall we ¡± Quinn said and Damon shook his head.


    ¡± Not untill I do this ¡± he said and immediately pecked her two cheeks leaving Quinn stunned as he walked away .


    Quinn immediately followed him as she closed the door properly forgetting to tell her mom bye .


    Mrs Spencer shook her head and smiled as she watched both of them leave . She could feel the atmosphere of love around them and she was happy that Damon was a good guy. . .


    ¡± So how was your night ¡± Damon asked as they walked closer .


    ¡± Well it was fine and peaceful although I didn¡¯t sleep due to the Literature Assignment I was given . I wished I could call you to help me but you are a science student ¡± Lucia said with a grin and Damon giggled .


    ¡± I am a science student and that doesn¡¯t mean I don¡¯t know literature ¡± he said and pulled her to the side out of the road


    ¡± Let me see the assignment ¡± he said


    ¡± I already did it Damon ¡±


    ¡± Well let me see ¡± he insisted and Quinn sighed and brought out her literature book and handed it to him .


    Damon went through the assignment that asked to give a brief summary about Mr Hardcastle , Young Marlow , Mrs Hard Castle and Andrew .


    Heughed hard as he read her summary of Mr Hardcastle that made Quinn squeeze her face .


    ¡± What¡¯s the problem ¡± she asked confused .


    She knew she had written a good summary .


    ¡± This is not how to write a summary Quinn Spencer ¡± he said and Quinn rolled her eyes the way he called her full name .


    Damon took a pen out of his pocket and stroked some unnecessary details in her summary before attaching a few details she missed about Young Marlow .


    ¡± Here all done ¡± he said handing over the book to her and Quinn nced at it before scanning through it and it looks more presentable now .


    ¡± Thanks ¡± she said putting it back in her bag .


    ¡± Anything for you ¡± he said with a smile revealing his dimples that made Quinn drool .


    He held her hands as they walked closer to the school gate .


    ¡± I think you should let me go now ¡± Quinn said on seeing they were closer to the gate .C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    ¡± Why ¡± he asked staring at her keenly .


    ¡± Well to avoid them having some unnecessary thoughts ¡± she Said


    ¡± Hmm ¡± Damon muttered and released her hand .


    They entered the school and walked towards the hallway that would leave them to their different departments .


    ¡± See youter Quinn ¡± he said and almost pecked her before walking away through the bend that took him to his ss .


    Quinn waved at him as she headed to her ss with a smile on her face .


    ¡± Boom Lover girl ¡± she heard someone scream in her ear scaring the life out of her .


    She turned back to see Ava her friend grinning sheepishly at her .


    ¡± What was that for huh Ava ¡± Quinn asked slightly pissed .


    ¡± It¡¯s me saying a good morning to you since you didn¡¯t see me when passing the hall way ¡± Ava said with a scoff .


    ¡± Well I didn¡¯t and that wasn¡¯t why you want to send me to the hospital emergency center this morning .¡±


    ¡± You are so not serious . What¡¯s going on between you and Damon ¡±


    ¡± Nothing why would you think something is going on . Is it because wee to school together everyday or something . He is my neighbor and you know it ¡± Quinn said in one breath .


    ¡± I think so because it¡¯s in your eyes and also in his eyes .¡± Ava said pointing her eyes .


    ¡± What do we have this morning ¡± Quinn asked diverting the question .


    Ava rolled her eyes knowing what she was trying to do but she was going to let her be today anyway .


    ¡± Literature ¡± she said and Quinn smiled leaving ava in confusion .


    ¡± Let¡¯s go ¡± she said and Ava sighed while following her. .


    ..


    The students busied themselves with one thing or the other . Some read , some talked and did what ever they felt like .


    Yeah the literature students were having a free time waiting for the teacher to be done with their homework .


    Quinn and Ava yed a mind game to ease time as they waited .


    The teacher walked into the ss and the whole noise died down that even a pin drop could be heard. .


    ¡± Good day ss .. without wasting another minute of our time . I am done marking the assignment and some of you did really well while some of you were not impressing at all . I urge you all to try your best next time . ¡± He said and the ss muttered an ¡®OK Sir¡¯  .


    ¡± Who is Quinn Spencer . Follow me to my office now.  . ¡± He said and the whole ss including Quinn murmured as he left the ss .¡±


    ¡± Do you know why I am being summoned ¡± Quinn asked hoping she had not failed woefully .


    ¡± Maybe he wants to fuck you hard . I heard he is good ay that ¡± Vivian , one of the troublemakers and wide mouth gossipers in the ss echoed and the ss hissed at her .


    ¡± I think you should hurry now ¡± Ava said and Quinn nodded as she left the ss .


    She passed a few doors untill she got to his office .


    She did the sign of the cross before knocking on the door .


    The door opened and she entered to meet his smiling by his desk making Quinn¡¯s mind race .


    ¡® what if he really wants to fuck her hair just like Vivian said ¡® the thought ran through her head but she quickly tarnished it .


    ¡± Mrs Quinn i mustmend you for a perfect assignment . I am giving you an A in the literature testing up already . ¡± He said and Quinn jumped up as he handed over the book to her .


    ¡± Thank you sir , ¡± she said hugging her book .


    She ran out of the office to the ce she could think of .

 Memories

    35


    Lucia turned on the bed as she held her head in pains .


    The aroma of hot pancakes filled her nose as she opened her eyes to see Luciening in with a tray containing pancakes , tea and hangover pills .


    She rubbed her eyes for a second to know if she was dreaming but he was still there .


    Lucien chuckled at her reaction .


    ¡± Breakfast in bed for a beautifuldy like you . You look more beautiful when you wake up babe ¡± he said and lucia wondered if he had hit himself on something for him to be malfunctioning like a robot but then she remembered it was the deal .


    She sniffed as he watched him ce the tray on the bed .


    She wished it was real but who was she kidding to think so .


    Her head banged and she held it .


    Lucien noticed her pain and opened the pills for her , dropped them in her hands and poured her a ss of water .


    Lucia threw the pills into her mouth , added water and felt a lot better after that .


    She smiled in appreciation even though she knew he was just faking it ..


    ¡± Thanks for this Lucien but I don¡¯t think you should be¡­


    She paused as she remembered she was to be in work today .


    Holy Molly


    ¡± Rx I called a day off for you ¡± Lucien said noticing her mood making her calm down .


    ¡± Thank you so much Lucien . I can¡¯t seem to thank you enough ¡± She said in all sincerity .


    ¡± It¡¯s nothing . Your safety matters to me ¡± Lucien replied with a smile..


    ¡± Ok the food is getting cold and I don¡¯t want that . So why don¡¯t you go clean your teeth and then you can have breakfast . Call me when you are done . ¡± He said and Lucia nodded and watched as he left the room .


    She stood up immediately carefully to avoid spilling the food on the floor .


    She got into the bathroom and stared at her disheveled hair down to her eye bags , and her face which looked like they had been stepped upon .


    She looked at the mirror keenly as if it was telling her something and for a second she was lost .


    She wanted to wave it off but it was still calling to her .


    Wait , she got it now .


    When did she take off her shirtst night .?


    Did Lucien do it .?


    That means he saw her inner wear . ¡±


    All these thoughts ran through her mind as she face flushed in embarrassment at the knowledge .


    She took out her brush and started brushing her teeth making sure to take every smell of bad breath away .


    After she was sure of having a clean , fresh and better breath ; she took off her clothes and got into the bath tub and washed herself .


    ..


    Lucien opened hisptop to check on thepany¡¯s shares and was proud on knowing they had a lot of share buyers .


    He logged into sites checking for  new businesses seeking for partnerships .


    He saw a lot of them but scrolled through to find the one that would pick his interest and also a genuine one .


    While still busy on this , he heard a knock on the door .


    He was startled because the only persons in this house were him and Lucia ; and speaking of Lucia , she should probably still be eating in her room.


    He waited to hear the knock again and s it came again .


    He stood up and walked towards the door removing every negative thought from his mind .


    He opened the door and saw Lucia standing out there looking all fresh in a baggy jean and crop top with a tray in her hand .


    He frowned slightly wondering if she was rejecting his food or probably didn¡¯t like it .


    Lucia on nothing his frown smiled .


    ¡± It¡¯s not what you are thinking , I want us to eat together that¡¯s why I am here . I know you have not had breakfast ¡± she said and Lucien smiled at her thoughtfulness .


    ¡± Come in then..


    Or we could go to the dinning if you are notfortable here ¡± he added on noticing her reluctance toe in .


    ¡± No , this ce is okay.  Not like you are going to eat me ¡± she said with a nervous smile .


    Lucien cracked as he gave way for her to enter .


    ¡± What if I decide to eat you ¡± he said as Lucia walked to the table to drop the tray .


    He noticed how her body tensed up as he said that andughed at her naivety .


    He pushed hisptop to the side as he gave her space to drop the tray.


    Lucia who was still embarrassed drew out a chair and sat down avoiding Lucien¡¯s dominating stare .


    ¡± Lucia do you know why i saved you that day ¡± He asked out of the blue making Lucia raise her eyes to look at him .


    ¡± I don¡¯t know ¡± she said picking one of the pancakes and biting on it .


    ¡± Well I felt a kind of strong and serene atmosphere with you ¡± Lucien said looking at her to read her expression but it was nk .


    ¡± Well that¡¯s a good atmosphere if I must say ¡± she said with a small smile slowly forgetting all her nervousness which had been the main purpose of Lucien¡¯s question.


    Yeah to make her free around him.


    Lucien picked a pancake and shoved into his mouth relishing the taste .


    Lucia licked her lips at the awesomeness of the pancake and was forced tomend him.. .


    ¡± This pancakes taste good , better than any pancakes I have tasted ¡± she said licking her lips making Lucien groan as it was seducing him..


    ¡± Wait Lucia did you say , they taste nice better than anyone you have tasted before ¡± he asked in repitition .


    ¡± Yes I said that ¡± Lucia replied confused.


    ¡± Wait if you know it¡¯s better than anyone you have tasted before , does it mean you are regaining your memories ¡­. ¡±

 Trouble

    Korea


    Cam got into the car as she waited for Dos to be done with extra sses so they could go home .


    They had beening to school together everyday from Dos¡¯s mansion.


    She hoped that those girls are not all over him again .


    Since everyone found out that Dos was not really dumb , the girls had been all over him and the guys had reduced their wide mouth.


    She herself had gotten a lot of enemies from the girls who wanted Dos but she wasn¡¯t disturbed .


    She scrolled through her Instagram as she looked at some really beautiful pictures .


    After Cami was done scrolling and Dos wasn¡¯t still in sight , she felt the urge to use the restroom and sent Dos a text should incase he is out before use gets back .


    She tucked her phone in her inner pocket and got down from the car and walked towards the restroom .


    She got into the restroom and after easing herself , she sshed some water in her face to refresh her self .


    She felt the door creak open and turned back but didn¡¯t find anyone and concluded it was the other restroom .


    She washed her hands but she still had a feeling that someone was in here .


    As she turned around to observe , she felt a wet hankie passed her nose and she struggled till she passed out ¡­Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    .


    Dos picked up his bag as soon as the teacher left , he knew Mi would be waiting for him for so long.


    He brought out his phone from his pocket and saw the text from Cami.


    It was five minutes ago .


    So he concluded she should be done .


    He was about walking out of the ss when Vanessa came in front of him trying to flirt with him .


    ¡± Vanessa get out of my way this minute ¡± he said with a Stern voice .


    ¡± Your voice makes me so wet that I find myself close to orgasm . ¡± She said licking her lips and trailing her hands on his chest which does removed immediately.


    ¡± The next time you try this shit with me . I will kill you and no one would question me . Mark my words ¡± he said and Vanessa flinched with his cold tone and she immediately scurried off .


    Dos hissed as he quickly left the ss .


    He had wasted five minutes of his precious time with the fool .


    He sighted the car from afar but she wasn¡¯t inside.


    Does it mean she wasn¡¯t still back from the restroom.


    Dos got to the car and to confirm his assumptions, she wasn¡¯t there .


    He headed to the restroom and received surprising res from thedies there .


    Not their fault tho


    What is a guy doing in thedy¡¯s restroom¡± but that wasn¡¯t what was bothering Dos now .


    He entered the first free one and could sniff Cami¡¯s fragrance there but she wasn¡¯t there .


    He felt a letter drop on his leg and picked it up looking for who dropped it but it seemed like the letter dropper left as fast as he came .


    Dos opened the letter and was shocked at the contents .


    ¡± I NEVER KNEW YOUR LITTLE GIRLFRIEND IS MY ENEMY¡¯S DAUGHTER . DOS THAT IS SO PETTY OF YOU . SAY GOOD BYE TO HER ¡±


    DAD


    GAVIER ..


    Dos crumpled the paper in his hands as his face grew red with anger .


    He stormed out of the restroom in anger with the paper in his hand with one destination in mind , his father¡¯s warehouse .


    That would be the ce he would be .


    He is going to kill anyone who touches or let¡¯s a pin scratch Cami even if it means killing his dad or dying as well .


    He opened the car door , got in and drove out of the school with full force leaving the students confused .


    ¡­..


    ¡± Damon thanks so much again for the assignment .¡± Quinn said as she helped Damon pack his books in his bag as they prepared to go home .


    ¡± It¡¯s nothing and if I must remember. You already thanked me during recess so I don¡¯t see what¡¯s prompting this again . ¡± He said raising his brows.


    ¡± Well I cant think of anyhow else to appreciate you so this is the only way ¡± she said as she watched thest student leave the ss leaving her and Damon .


    ¡± Well I can think of a way ¡± Damon said caging her by the wall and bringing his face closer to her .


    Quinn felt her heart race at the close proximity .


    ¡± What¡¯s that ¡± she said hoping it¡¯s not what she was thinking.  .


    Damon looked into her eyes keenly searching for a lot of answers like why had he fallen for her .


    He had said no to rtionships after what happened between him and Bernadette but here he is helplessly in love with her.


    What¡¯s wrong with him .


    Quinn wondered what was running in his mind and why the silence .


    Damon tucked the part of her hair that was dangling and smiled .


    ¡± Ok why don¡¯t youe teach me how to make those beautiful cupcakes you brought to school the other day ¡± he said and ced a soft kiss on her neck and Quinn felt her body shake in pleasure ..


    ¡± What do you say about that ¡± he asked and Quinn blinked her eyes in confusion .


    ¡± Say about what ¡± she said not believing she has not been listening to him since .


    All her head yed were his lips .


    ¡± About teaching me how to make those cupcakes ¡± He said and pulled away from her slowly and Quinn was dissapointed he hadn¡¯t kissed her .


    ¡± Yes I will  but after I do this .¡± She said and before Damon could process what she meant she pulled him closer and kissed him ¡­.

    Lucien looked at Lucia¡¯s eager face as they waited for the doctor toe back with his report to know if their assumptions were true .


    He doesn¡¯t know why he feel like Lucia shouldn¡¯t regain her memories .


    He scrolled through his phone while they waited not ready to stir up any conversation between them .


    The doctor came in after a few more minutes and Lucien raised his head reluctantly from the phone he was holding .


    ¡± Ok Lucia after the oral tests and psychological evaluation I did . I don¡¯t think you are regaining your memories . ¡± The doctor said and Lucia¡¯s face fell .


    Lucien didn¡¯t know when he released the breath he was holding and turned to see the fallen face of Lucia .


    He too her hands in his and rubbed it to ease her nerves .


    ¡± Ok but are there chances that I can regain my memories ¡± Lucia asked a bit rxed now .


    ¡± Well absolutely , but it might be a long time waiting or it mighte quickly but no matter the way it is . Wait for it and be prepared .¡± He said and Lucia nodded .


    ¡± Ok thats fine but another question . How did I know about the pancakes I have tasted before today ¡± she asked and Lucien also listened keenly to know why .


    ¡± Well it¡¯s your taste buds that detected that not your brain . Although your taste buds and your brain works together , it has no connection with today¡¯s event ¡± he said and Lucia nodded .


    ¡± So rx you are a strongdy . You are surely getting your memories back.  I know how it feels to forget important stuffs talk more of forgetting your whole life just to start afresh . Take it easy on yourself . Exercise , fruits and good food would also aid the healing faster as they work on your brain ¡± he exined and Lucia nodded taking all the important details in .


    ¡± Doctor thanks for your time . We beg to take our leave ¡± Lucien said getting up as well as Lucia .


    ¡± It¡¯s a pleasure working with you Mr Spencer and it¡¯s no big deal attending to you.  That¡¯s my job right ¡± he said with a small smile and Lucien shook his hands walking out of the office .


    ¡± Thanks doctor ¡± Lucia appreciated and followed Lucien  at his back immediately ..


    ..


    Lucien drove out of the hospital premises taking few side nces at Lucia who looked sad at the same time pale.


    ¡± What is the problem Lucia ¡± he asked worriedly .


    ¡± I just feel like what if I don¡¯t regain my memories again . Is this how I would be with no family to call my own , no one to call my friend. ¡± She said and Lucien smiled .


    ¡± Come on Lucia . I know how you feel. You would regain your memories but even if you don¡¯t , you have me by your side  , I love you so much.


    ¡± You love me ,¡± Lucia asked Lucien raising her head slightly .


    ¡± Yes.. as a friend ¡± Lucien said and Lucia nodded felling her heart tear but she held herself .


    ¡± Lucia the fact I don¡¯t love you the way you think I do doesn¡¯t mean that I don¡¯t care for you . Quinn is there for you , Thelma is also there , Derrick is also there . We are more than family and I know Quinn won¡¯t be happy if she finds out you don¡¯t regard her as family . ¡± Lucien said and Lucia felt her eyes hit up .


    ¡± Thanks Lucien .. your word means a lot to me ¡± she said letting the tears pour down.


    Lucien who was not happy seeing her in tears parked the car by the road side and turned to her wiping her tears with his thumb .


    ¡± It¡¯s fine Lucia , just calm down. ¡± He said patting her hair gently .


    Lucia raised her eyes to look at him .


    She held his face with her hands startling Lucien .


    ¡± Can you please kiss me ¡± she said with her eyes begging.


    Lucien who had always wanted an opportunity looked at her with all desire before smashing his lips on hers .. .

    ¡± Ok so Cami is her name . Such a sweet name for a beautiful girl . Tell me son , have you tasted her , is she sweet as I feel she would or is she as bitter as her dad . ¡± He said and Dos left a blow on his lips making it bleed .


    ¡± Wow you hit me Dos because of an enemy . Is this how I trained you to be . An enemy to your family because of ady ¡± he said .

    Lucien snuck his hand into her crop top and fondled with her hardened nipples pinching it slightly and Lucia moaned into Lucien¡¯s mouth and Lucien felt his cock hardened but slid his hand from her top..


    He didn¡¯t expect him to go this far .


    He pulled back and Lucia blinked her eyes , wondering why he had pulled back .


    Lucien ruffled his hair as he ignited the car and started driving leaving Lucia confused as she arranged her top .


    She thought he felt something but seems he was just used to toiling with her feelings .


    She sniffed but shook it away , she was done tearing up for him..


    Lucien drove trying to bnce himself, he nced at Lucia and noticed her expression was nk .


    Phew he had thought she would be tearing up and it would kill him .


    He just didn¡¯t know what he felt for her yet .


    His greatest fear was her regaining her memories and leave him and he wouldn¡¯t be able to take it at all .


    Lucien stopped by at a fruit market and turned to Lucia who hissed and continued ying games on her phone .. .


    ¡± Lucia I think we should get some fruits .¡± Lucien said ..


    ¡± I am not interested .¡± She said nonchntly .


    ¡± But the doctor said. . .


    ¡± There¡¯s nothing that the doctor said that affects you , does it ¡± she said with hurt evident in her tone .


    ¡± It affects me and you know it . Stop acting all mean ¡± Lucien said and mped his mouth shut as he realized he had just called her mean .


    ¡± No go on and call me whatever you feel like ¡± see said with a hiss .


    Lucien got down from the car ignoring her res and walked to the fruit market where varieties of fresh and sulent fruits were arranged for sale . He walked to the orange seller and bought some and made sure he picked all the other fruits his eyes couldy on .


    After packing everything up in two shopping bags , he lifted them up and walked to the car and opened the back seat , dropping the bag .


    He heard a long ear breaking hiss from Lucia that he felt likeughing but he held himself  .


    He opened the door and hopped in .


    He ignited the car and drove off stealing nced at lucia from time to time .


    Lucia didn¡¯t wait for Lucien to perfectly park the car as soon as they got home before leaving the car to the main building .


    Lucien sighed because he knew she was still hurt by what happened earlier but what can he do to his fears ; they are in control of him now and there¡¯s nothing he can do about it .


    He carried the bags of fruit and walked into the main house after making sure all securities where confirmed in the car .

    Quinn sighed as she waited for Damon after closing .


    He had ran past her and told her he wasing but she hasn¡¯t seen any sight of him at all .


    She brought out a phone to call him when she felt a hand wrap her waist .


    She didn¡¯t need anyone to tell her it was Damon .


    She smiled as she turned around and smiled at him .


    He popped a rose flower to her and Quinn smiled sheepishly as she collected it and sniffed it, closing her eyes .


    Before opening her eyes , she saw a banner drop and on it she read . ¡°WILL YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND QUINN SPENCER .¡±


    Quinn felt her face heat up as she read it out.


    She looked at Damon maybe to be sure she read right and saw Damon on his knees with a ne in his palm .


    ¡± Well I don¡¯t know how I fell for you . The feelings just came naturally of I must say . Yes it was a love at first sight encounter. Your smile , yourughter , your yful res . If I go on to listen , I might write an epistle of it and won¡¯t be able to say it all.  So just this few words determines my tomorrow and they are . QUINN SPENCER WILL YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND¡± He said and Quinn felt her eyes heat up .


    ¡± Yes it was love at first sight and your cute dimples were my fantasy . I am already yours Damon and this is to make it official I must confess ¡± she said with a light chuckle and Damon kissed her hands as ps and cheers could be held from the students ..


    Quinn blinked her eyes in confusion .


    They had closed for the day and they were still around .


    It was heart touching to her and she felt like tearing up  .


    Such love .


    ¡± Congrats girlie ¡± she heard from her back and felt a ribbon cross her written Latest Girl Friend and a crown was ced on her head also .


    Quinn turned to Ava with a teary smile and Ava chuckled .


    ¡± You don¡¯t want to cry now do you¡± she said and engulfed her in a tight hug .


    ¡± Oh Ava I am jealous, can you please let go off my girlfriend ¡± Damon said making everyoneugh .


    Ava sent him a yful res before pulling away and Damon wrapped his hand around her waist and pulled her closer .

    Night ..


    Lucia peeped out of her room at night and was very sure that Lucien should be asleep .


    She was craving those strawberries she saw at the fruit market and she was sure he had picked a few of those but she had been too proud to ask him for some of even go collect it .


    She strolled to the kitchen and peeped in and it was as silent that you could hear a pin drop.  .


    She walked into the kitchen and switched on the bulb to it¡¯s lowest point .


    She opened the fridge and just as she expected Lucien had already arranged the fruits there neatly after washing them .


    She took out a strawberry and just as she was about taking a bite , the whole light went on .


    ¡± Well well well. Seems we have a little  culprit here ¡± he said with a smug smile stered on his face .

 Long night

    39


    B*Earlier*


    Lucien had heard some footsteps pass his door side since he was still working .


    He was working on getting a shoot since it had been long he had one .


    Yes modelling was his side hustle .


    He stood up to go check the cause of the footsteps because he was sure Lucia should be in her room and if possible sleeping .


    Leaving hisptop on, he picked up his phone and walked to the door .


    He opened the door slightly and pushed his head out a bit to observe the environment before going  outside and when he confirmed nothing suspicious , he came out and decided to go get a ss of water in the kit kitchen ignoring the one in his room .


    He came into the sitting room and noticed that a low illumination was glowing there .


    He palmed his face for forgetting to put it off before going in .


    Only for him to get there to find Lucia standing by the open fridge with a strawberry in her hands that is ready to be devoured if not he came .


    *Now ..*


    ¡± Well well well , seems we have a little culprit here ¡± Lucien said with a smug smile stered on his face .


    Lucia felt her worlde down as embarrassment washed over her .


    She looked at the strawberry in her hands and back at Lucien and she felt like the ground should open up and swallow her or if she could just dissappear right there and now .


    She mustered enough courage as she opened her mouth to talk .


    ¡± I thought the fruits were mine . Didn¡¯t you say so yourself ¡± she said the most stupid thing she could think of and Lucien smiled .


    ¡± Yes its yours although you acted indifferent about me getting them .. Or didn¡¯t you ¡± he asked raising his eyebrow .


    Lucia bent down her head and could hear Lucien¡¯s footstepsing closer.


    He raised her head closer and looked into her eyes .


    He could see the hidden pains in them ..


    ¡± I am sorry ¡± he said and hugged her closer to himself and Lucia just sniffed .


    ¡± I know you are saying all these because of the bet ¡± she mumbled with a small smile .


    ¡± Give me another chance , this is not a bet , another chance to make it up to you , to show you that I can take care of your heart ¡± Lucien assured and Lucia¡¯s eyes widened .


    ¡± Are you serious ¡± she said running her hands on his  face and Lucien held it to his face .


    ¡± Yes I am . I am forgetting my fears and taking this step to see what it would hold ¨C


    Lucia couldn¡¯t wait for him to finish talking before smashing her lips on his .


    Lucien smiled as he held her firm and kissed her roughly .


    He snuck his hand under her nighties and felt her hard and erected nipples .


    He felt his cock harden at the knowledge.


    He pinced them softly before breaking the kiss .


    Looking at Lucia keenly whose face was filled with a lot of untamed emotions , he smiled and breathed out .


    ¡± Are you sure about this ¡± Lucien asked with burning emotions in his eyes and Lucia nodded feeling shy for what she was about doing .


    With that Lucien resumed kissing her and carried her up , leaving the kitchen after turning off the light bulb and headed straight to the bedroom .


    He opened the door to his room slightly breaking the kiss and Lucia hid her face in the crook of his neck inhaling the scenting out of the room. .


    Lucien dropped her slightly on the bed carefully and kissed her thighs upwards sending shiver into her body, he loosened the rope from the back of the nighties and Lucia arched her back a bit for him to pull it off .

    Derrick sneaked into the room with a dull face and Thelma wondered what was wrong as she walked to him where he was sitting on the bed.


    ¡± Babe what¡¯s the problem ¡± she asked sitting down but he just sighed .


    ¡± Nothing is wrong Thelma ¡± he said and she was taken aback because she cant remember when he called her by her first name..

    ¡± Ok ¡±


    Lucia rolled her eyes and as she was about opening the door , she felt a heavy force move her from the ground. .

    ¡± You don¡¯t have to be shy . Do you love him ¡± she asked and Lucia sighed as she thought about it .


    She has not really given a thought to that question since.

 Dos caged

    Dos groaned as he opened his eyes and looked around the surrounding he was .


    He can¡¯t believe that be is in his father¡¯s ware house and how could be be sleeping for two days now  .


    That why he hated those memories because they left him unconscious and useless .


    On other asion , he usually ends up in the hospital but since this one was a fight between him and his dad , he remains in the warehouse and thank goodness he was giving a bed to lie down .


    He ruffled his hair trying to remember what he was forgetting and then like a sh.


    CAMILLA


    He recalled.


    Where could she be ??


    Before he can rearrange his thoughts , the door opened and the man he hated so much came inside followed by Dr Albert their family doctor .


    Dos felt his anger building up but he decided to suppress it to avoid making the same mistake now .


    ¡± Wow seems my little son who became a man and started challenging me is awake..¡± His dad said and anger shed through his eyes but dissappeared immediately .


    Dr Albert who just stood at a corner watching the mouth exchange going on between the father and son.


    Dos fisted his hand in a ball as he tried to calm his nerves .


    ¡± Cat got your tongue ¡± he asked mockingly but Dos held himself from the burning rage inside him .


    His dad was really doing a good job getting on his nerves .


    ¡± Well Dr Albert I think I would just leave you check up on him since he isn¡¯t saying anything ¡± Dos dad said angry that Dos hadn¡¯t responded to his mock tones .


    He took his leave and Dr Albert heaved a sigh of relief on his departure .


    ¡± How long are you going to continue this ¡± Dos asked while Dr Albert walked towards him..


    ¡± Continue what ¡± he asked lost ..


    ¡± Being a puppy to a man like you ¡± he replied with a nk face .


    ¡± I don¡¯t understand your question Dos and besides I am just doing my job and I don¡¯t see anything that concerns being a puppy here ¡± he replied trying to keep a neutral face but his eyes were wavering .


    ¡± You sure you are not acting like a puppy Dr Albert ¡± he asked putting more emphasis on the Albert .


    ¡± With all due respect , I would appreciate if you kept calm and let me do my job because I have other patients to attend to . ¡± He said and Dosughed .


    ¡± Wow I never knew you could posses such authority sir . Oh wait a minute,,, were your patients not waiting while you gawked a while ago when my dad was here . ? ¡± He asked with a grin ying by the side of his face and he saw a sh of emotions flicker past his eyes but dissappeared immediately .


    Dos couldn¡¯t ce what those emotions meant but he knew they signified pains .


    He was just going to y his card well and make the doctor walk with him.Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Dr Albert opened his box and brought out his stethoscope and Dos groaned when he saw he wasn¡¯t interested in talking to him .


    He resigned to his fate as he thought of other means to get Cami so they can escape from here .


    Dr Albert finished checking him and giving him some medications and locked up his bag .


    ¡± I really want to stop being a puppy to your dad . I want to be free and be in my hospital at all times . I want to be able to live without the fear that my family may be killed if I don¡¯t obey your father¡¯s every whim. ¡± He spoked up and Dos felt a glint of happiness sh in his eyes .


    ¡± I am sorry Dr Albert but I am ever ready to help you if you would work with me . You can go to another country where my dad wouldn¡¯t find you ¡± Dos said and he sighed .


    ¡± Your dad¡¯s gang spreads over thirteen countries Dos or more ¡± he said and Dos smiled .


    ¡± Well there are not thirteen countries in the world and I know where my father has marked out to go to and where he won¡¯t . So are you in ¡± he asked bringing out his hands and after a long look at his hand and Dos scared he wasn¡¯t going to ept he took his hands .


    ¡± In ¡± he mumbled .


    ¡± Ok this is how our ns would go . ,, Come closer¡± he whispered and Dr Albert came closer while Dos whispered his already mapped out n in his head to the doctor¡¯s waiting ears .


    He smiled at the idea Dos brought it was such a nice idea he was looking forward to execute it.


    ¡± Ok then I am in , the n is lit ¡± Dr Albert said and Dos smiled.


    ¡± Looking forward to have a sessful operation with you and put that old man where he belongs ¡± Dos said and they smiled.


    Doctor Albert carry this bag out of the room and went in search of Mr gavia. He needed to start his own part of the deal now.


    Dr Albert met Dos¡¯s dading out of the other part of the room with a calm expression and Dr Albert confirmed that the captive there didn¡¯t anger him .


    He stopped as soon as he saw Dr Albert approaching him .


    ¡± How is. my son ¡± he asked when he got closer .


    ¡± He is doing better than before and if I must advice , stay clear from anything that would make him faint again . ¡± He said and he nodded about to walk away .


    ¡± Sir can i see the girl you kept ,,, I mean his girlfriend ¡± he said with all the courage he could muster .


    Mr Gavier looked at him with a dangerous look making him shiver but be held himself .


    ¡± Ok fine , let¡¯s go . I think she needs some check up because I am not ready for her death now .¡± He said and Dr Albert heaved a sigh that he had been holding as he followed his behind .

    ¡± Good luck girl and may the Goddess of love shine on you as you do this ¡± she said and Luciaughed at Thelma¡¯s prayers nervously.

    ¡± Just shake off that guilt and if it doesn¡¯t work well we try another test , this one is from Asia ¡± she said .


    ¡± Wait how many of this test do you know off Thelma ..

 Escape night

    44


    Dr Albert followed Mr Gavier trying to walk briskly as possible to avoid giving him a suspicious activity.


    Mr Gavier opened the door and Dr Albert gasped at the girl lying down looking so frail and weak .


    He cussed him angrily in his mind but remained calm if he wants this n to be executed without a fail .


    Mr Gavier excused the way for him to pass and he went in looking at Cami who had opened her eyes looking pale at him .


    He turned to look at Gavier who stood rooted by the door .


    He prayed for him to go so he can talk to her but seems he wasn¡¯t ready to leave .


    ¡± Be fast about this Albert , I have other things to attend to. ¡± He said and he nodded facing her back .


    He brought out a cotton wool and spirit and cleaned the little injuries which she had sustained probably when struggling .


    He gave her a reassuring smile that all was alright as she winced.


    Cami felt a special calmness and connection with the doctor and she couldn¡¯t ce why .


    She wasn¡¯tpletely rxed due to the burning gaze of Mr Gavier and the revtion he said this morning that her dad owns a Mafia syndicate .


    Never has she had a reason to see her dad was a Mafia leader .


    He had been very good at covering his paths well .


    No wonder he rarely stays at home and maybe that was why he had a problem with her mom.


    The ringing tone of Mr Gavier sted her from her reverie as he answered the call taking a step backwards with hushed tones .


    Dr Albert turned to nce at him as  he made the call .


    He really wished that the call would take him outside as he applied some antiseptics to kill the germs .


    Mr Gavier returned immediately with a worried face .


    ¡± Albert I am about leaving now . Make sure you lock up this ce as soon as you are done and alert the boys if she does anything funny.  I don¡¯t want to hear any silly stories when I get back . Understood ¡± he said with a cold tone and  Dr Albert nodded and after giving Cami a deadly re he left the room. .


    ¡± I will go get you some water so you can take this pain killers , and if possible a meal ¡± he said and Cami nodded .


    Dr Albert took the cue to check if he has left finally and was relieved to see his car go out of thepound with few of his boys .Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    It was time for action .


    He got a cup of water , a loaf of bread and an apple as he headed for the room .


    Cami hungrily tore the bread open as she cut arge chunk and started eating .


    Dr Albert shook his head as he saw how she ravaged the food .


    Dos had told him everything and he couldn¡¯t believe love endangered her this way .


    Such a sad story of love because of the families they came from .


    Well he hoped their love sees them through.


    Cami stopped eating as she saw the doctor staring with a sympathetic look at her.


    Her heart flipped.


    ¡± Is there any problem Dr . Is Dos alright ¡± she asked and Dr Albert snapped out .


    ¡± Oh he is doing fine , and he even sent me to you ¡± he said thest part in a whisper and Cami¡¯s eyes shot up in ecstasy .


    ¡± He wants you guys to escape tonight ¡± he said and Cami nodded .


    She can¡¯t wait to be free.


    ¡± So who are you and why are you helping us ¡± she asked because she felt he worked with Dos dad .


    ¡± Well I also want my own freedom and let¡¯s just say we are all helping each other .¡± He said and Cami sighed .


    Sometimes she feels like bit falling in love .


    Not going to school at all .


    Dos not saving her that day .


    Everything should just be normal .


    But the more she thinks of it , the more she falls for him the more .


    She hoped all this would pass away so that they can enjoy their life again in perfect and peaceful bliss .


    Dr Albert allowed her to wallow in her thoughts for a while before speaking up .


    ¡± I know how you feel but trust me , hang on . As long as this way of escape works , you would enjoy being in love again ¡± he said and she sniffed .


    ¡± Can you hug me ¡± she said with teary eyes and Dr Albert after some silence hugged her as she teared up on his shoulders .


    ¡± You will be fine ¡± he said rubbing her back to soothe her .


    Cami dried up her tears because for her to be able to escape tonight , she has to be strong .


    ¡± So what¡¯s the n ¡± she said pulling away from the hug with an appreciative smile .


    ¡± That¡¯s the spirit ¡± Dr Albert said smiling as he gave her a high shake .


    ¡± Come closer ¡± he said and she did and he told her everything that Dos had told him from the beginning to the end making sure not to miss any part that could null the ns.


    As soon as he was done  , she beamed at the wonderful idea .


    ¡± You are such a good master nner ¡± she said and he chuckled .


    ¡± Well Dos came up with the idea not me . You have such a brilliant boyfriend if I must say ¡± he said and Cami blushed at his words .


    ¡± Ok be alert , the signal would be sent and make sure you do what I asked you to do ¡± he said and she nodded .

 The jerk

    Lucien opened hisptop as he entered the room .


    Lucia had gone out to get a few things. .


    He opened it and went to his mail because that was where the business deals were being made ,


    He saw the one from Cara and he opened it .


    ¡± Wow Cara just signed a business deal . He cant be more than proud of her . He scrolled down and saw the invite and creased his elbow.


    Why had they requested his presence also


    Cara was the one who made the deal not him so why this.


    He sighed , he had no other choice because he just had to go and it would not be nice if Cara goes alone . It won¡¯t tell good of thepany .


    He sent her a mail back that he would being then and congratted her for securing the new deal .


    He can¡¯t wait to tell Lucia but he hopes she doesn¡¯t get mad that he would be making an impromptu travel tomorrow .


    He rubbed his head as he remembered Thelma¡¯s call .


    ¡± Hello Lucien , a simple question. Do you love Lucia ¡± she asked .


    Lucien was taken aback by her question but quickly regained himself .


    ¡± Yes I do and I really love her .¡± He replied .


    ¡± Ok I see then you should be able to pass a series of test I told her about ¡± she said and Lucien had raised a brow as he pulled the phone away from his ear before taking it back .


    ¡± Test ??¡± He had asked and Thelmaughed .


    ¡± Yes , dont be worried, as long as you love her sincerely , you would definitely pass the test . ¡± She said and Lucien sighed .


    ¡± If you say so , Miss love goddess ¡± he said in a mocking tone and Thelma chuckled.


    ¡± I will call youter , gotta go . Bye ¡± she said and hung up .


    Merely remembering the call , he thought about what the love test about . He hoped he would be able to do it .


    They wouldn¡¯t be too impossible , he thought as he gazed back at hisputer .

    Cara held her chest as she went back to her office .


    How did she not know that Patricia worked here .


    Is it because she was Lucien¡¯s secretary or because she had poured in all her mind on how to win Lucien . Either if it she doesn¡¯t know but damn she was far behind on what happened in thepany it she knew that once she gets married to Lucien, she would head thepany and know everything about it .


    She smiled to herself at the thought as she sat down , she quickly opened her mail and squealed happily that Lucien had agreed toe with her .


    When sending the mail, she had mixed thoughts although she did her best to hide it but seeing he had epted made her happy .


    She was grateful she was the only one upying the office if not she would have been rushed to a psychiatrist now .


    She chuckled at her own thoughts . .

    Lucia finished getting a pack of choctes , a pack of lollipops , a pack of marshmallows and some beverages .


    She was about paying when she felt a hand touch her .


    ¡± Permit me to pay off the bill pretty one ¡± the person said and Lucia didn¡¯t need a soothsayer go tell her if was a guy because of the loud and vocal voice he possessed .


    She turned back with a small smile as she don¡¯t want to seem rude or snobbish .


    Her gaze fell on a tall , dark handsome guy with green eyes and golden hair color. .


    Wow he was handsome but not as much as Lucien and she smiled at her thought.


    ¡± Wow you also have a lovely smile also ¡± he said   and Lucia smiled .


    ¡± Thanks for thepliment ¡± she said and turned back to the cashier .


    Before she could say anything the stranger stretched out his hand and handed the cashier his debit card.


    ¡± Here take out my bill and hers  ¡± he said and Lucia shook her head as she returned the ck card which she had brought out before .


    The cashier calcted the bull and gave him the receipt and Lucia carried her already packed bag and muttered a thank you and walked off .


    He shook his head as he followed her at her back .


    ¡± Wait up pretty , please ¡± he said and Lucia felt her anger rise with the way he was following her and calling her pretty .


    She turned back and stopped .


    ¡± Why the hell are you disturbing me ¡± she snapped at him as he approached .


    ¡± I am so sorry Pretty I ,,,


    ¡± Stop calling me that ¡± she said cutting him short .


    ¡± Ok so can I know your name to prevent this mistake from reurring ¡± he said with a smile revealing perfect dentition .


    ¡± Do you think because you paid for me , you get to know my name ¡± she said .


    ¡± Not at all . I know you are privileged because only privileged persons are opportuned to use the ck card ¡± he said with a wink that Lucia felt like hitting his head .


    What kind of a day was this .Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    First she heard of a love test and now she met a guy who wouldn¡¯t just let her be.


    ¡± What do you want. ¡± She asked after some silence ..


    ¡± A drink with you pretty ¡± she said and Lucia rolled her eyes.


    ¡± The name is Kate ¡± she said lying.


    Well she didn¡¯t even know if her name was Lucia but whatever .


    She wasn¡¯t telling this guy her name .


    Not now not ever .


    ¡± Ok shall we ¡± he said opening the door of his car and Lucia sneered as she stopped a taxi.


    Before he could say anything she hopped in .


    He quickly entered his car as he trailed behind the taxi .


    Lucia smirked at how foolish he had been and turned back when she felt a car trailing them


    ¡± Damn ¡± she muttered when she realized it was the jerk .


    The hell .

    Lucia told the driver to take another direction that would lead to another street .

    ¡± Driver you see that car following us , I want you to turn him around till doesn¡¯t get a glimpse of us again ¡± she said and the driver nodded .


    ¡± But ma it¡¯s an increase in your bills you know¡± he said.


    ¡± Just drive ¡± she almost snapped but tried to stay cool.


    The driver being familiar with the road , he sped off taking a turn which has four juncture .


    He made a round before taking the straight road and sped off.


    Tony banged his fist hard on the steering wheel on the realization that he had missed her .


    Damn.


    He was sure going to get her because he admired her and wants to get to know more about her .


    He reversed and rode through the way be hade . Lucia heaved a sigh of relief on seeing they had outrun him.


    She smiled at the driver¡¯s road skills as he took the road that would lead him to her direction .


    She hummed along with the music ying out from the car¡¯s stereo and did a victory p .


    The driver watched her amused and shook his head at her free spirit.


    He decided to break the silence within them as he spoke up .


    ¡± Why is he following you ¡± he asked and Lucia sighed .


    ¡°Well I don¡¯t know , he is a total jerk if I must say ¡± she paused as she narrated everything that happened at the shop.


    ¡± Maybe be is an admirer you know . A prettydy like you would get a lot of admirers and to top it all you are not married so it¡¯s normal you get things like this ¡± He said and Luciaughed .


    ¡± Well whatever , that guy isn¡¯t just my type of person, he is too .,,, I don¡¯t know how to say it anyway but I think dominating is the word or maybe ,, well anyhow ¡± she said and she could hear the rib crackingughter of the driver already .


    ¡± It¡¯s not funny¡± she said with a sad pout and the driver tried to muffle hisughter but it couldn¡¯t stop.


    ¡± And now he is trailing me . I think he escaped from the psychiatric hospital a while ago ¡± she said and heughed before shutting up .


    ¡± Do you know if he is your soulmate ¡± he said and Lucia sent  a murderous re at him and he mped his mouth shut.


    He knew he had just overstepped his boundaries and apologized immediately .


    ¡± Its fine ¡± she simply said and stopped talking .


    The driver parked the car at the gate of the house and Lucia handed him the debit card and typed in the pin .


    She was about walking towards the gate when she saw Lucien outside waiting for her.


    She saw a surprised look on the driver¡¯s face as he drove off .


    Well he might think she was married or he was shocked to see one of the popr CEO outside with shirt and shorts .


    Whichever way , his headache not hers.


    She said as she walked to Lucien who hugged her kissing her neck leaving Lucia in shock .

    Damon picked up his bag as he  was preparing  to  go to  Quinn¡¯s house to help her do her project since he was still good in literature .


    He brushed his hair to make sure he looked good and he remembered the discussion he had with Mrs Spencer two days back .


    .( ¡± Damon , do you know why I sent for you ¡± she asked


    ¡± No I don¡¯t ¡± he said looking at her keenly


    ¡± Well I want to give you some advice . You know you and Quinn are still in college and huh shouldn¡¯t have sex now because it would deter you and her from studying ¡± she said and he nodded .


    ¡± You see Quinn is my only daughter , my son Lucien is doing well and I don¡¯t want my daughter to go a wrong way all for love ¡± she said and Damon rubbed his hand to hide his nervousness . He hoped the conversation wasn¡¯t going to where he thinks it is.


    ¡± So I want you guys to stay clear away from sex and smooching ..


    Damon palmed his face in embarrassment at the way the words flow out .


    ¡°. Ok mom I have heard you and I will try my possible best to stay clear ¡± he said and she smiled rubbing his hair .


    ¡± But mom , a question . Can we kiss ¡± he said whispering and she hadughed andughed that day . )


    Remembering the question now made Damonugh since he had been too nervous that day to share in the ughter.


    He was happy she had given him a positive answer because he can¡¯t withstand her lips .


    He walked out his room and met his grandparents having coffee in the dinning room.


    He walked up to them and kissed his grandmother¡¯s cheek before giving his grandfather a fist bump .


    ¡± Where are you off to ¡± Grandfather Hudson asked .


    ¡± Off to Quinn¡¯s . Have a project to work on ¡± he said and his grandmother smiled a silly smile and Damon groaned because he knew where his grandmother was headed .


    ¡± Be a good boy Damon and make sure it stops on the project and not on her lips ¡± she said with a cheky smile and Damonughed .


    ¡± You bet ¡± he said before hurrying out of the house .


    ¡± Such wonderful girl that he fell for , after all the girls that were after him back then ¡± Grand mother Hudson said  with a smile .


    ¡± Well love is magical , and love is divine so this is divine ¡± Grandfather said and they bothughed at their words .

    Escape ..


    Cami ducked as she saw some men approaching .


    Thank goodness the ce was not heavily guarded due to few goods there ..


    She looked around and noticed the two men taking another direction and she heaved a sigh of relief  .


    She moved further there and she met Dos waiting .


    She really wanted to hug , kiss and do anything close to him now but she knew this wasn¡¯t the right time .


    Without saying anything she jumped on Dos back and he threw down the rope as they slid down immediately .


    Dr Albert had already opened the escape door for them and they quickly ran out.


    The emergency button went on immediately and the guards became alerted .


    ¡± They are escaping , get them ¡± the head guard shouted and they started firing bullets but they were  quick to enter Dr Albert¡¯s car which was already waiting for them .


    Before the doctor could get in and drive off , a bullet grazed his hand leaving an injury there .


    The gunshot not deterring him , he got in and drove off as they chased them .


    Dr Albert knew something like this was bound to happen so he had devised a road which they won¡¯t know off and he quickly turned in through the road , through the other and they lost them .


    Cami breathed a sigh of relief as sheid her head on Dos chest while Dos stroked her hair .Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡± We lost them , good job team ¡± Dr Albert said and they smiled .


    Cami got up and drew out the first aid box there and brought out some cotton wool , aspirin, spirit and a ster .


    She applied the spirit to the cotton wool and cleaned up the little trickles of blood on it and he winced a bit .


    ¡± Who would think that the doctor would need to be treated ¡± Dos said in a mocking tone as theyughed.  .


    ¡± Here, all better now ¡°. Cami said as she ced the ster on the hand .


    Albert smiled appreciatively as the pain reduced .


    ¡± Here, have some painkillers ¡± she said handing him the aspirin with a bottle of water .


    He halted the car and threw the drugs into his mouth , gulping some water to push it down .


    ¡± So where are we headed now ?¡± Cami asked .


    ¡± The airport , we are leaving the country this night *¡± he said and Cami gasped .


    ¡± What !! , Where do we go to , I don¡¯t even have any of my credit cards here . What about our education , what about Korea ¡± she said and Dos sighed.


    ¡± Everything would be fine.  It¡¯s already arranged, you will start school as soon as you get there while I start working . If we as much as spend a night or day here . We would be caught and my dad won¡¯t rx this time ¡± he exined and Cami sniffed as she hugged Dos .


    ¡± She would really miss Korea , Seoul ., Ma¡¯am Kim ¡± she teared up as she thought about these things and Dos felt his heart break at her tears .


    He caused all these by falling in love with her and making her fall also .


    If he even leaves her and stop dating her, his dad would stille for her so what¡¯s the need than to just leave with her.


    They were brought out of their thoughts as Dr Albert pulled up in the airnes parking spot .


    ¡± We are here ,,,


    ¡± Cami i think you should wipe those tears of yours to avoid suspicious looks ¡± he said and Cami nodded as Dos handed her a handkerchief to use in wiping her face which she did .


    Dr Albert arranged his shirt properly and he picked up a jacket to cover up the wound .


    Dos arranged his shirt and used his hand to style his hair .


    He kissed Cami lightly and gave her a reassuring smile .


    ¡± I love you ¡± he said and kissed her again .


    ¡± I love you too ¡± she said smiling .


    ¡± Enough of the lovey dovey , let¡¯s go out before we miss our flight ¡± he said as he came down and walked to where his family were seated .


    His pregnant wife and two kids .


    ¡± Flight 234 California announcing ¡± the sound sted and Cami looked at Dos .


    ¡± California ¡± she said with  a surprised look .


    ¡± Yes babe ¡± he said holding her hands as they walked towards the flight . They got in and their sit numbers were on same row .


    So they upied the two seats there with Cami close to the window .


    Mr Albert and his wife took a seat while the children were taken to the children section of the ne since it was an executive flight.  .


    They all were looking forward to a new phase of life for them and they hope it would be a good one .


    The ne ran on the tarmac before taking off into the sky ..

    Lucia washed up the tes and carefully dried them up before arranging them.


    She met Lucien picking out a movie and she returned back to the kitchen and got popcorn , and two tes of icecream .


    She joined him and sat down handing him the te of popcorn .


    ¡± Thanks babe ¡± he said snuggling her closer and Lucia blushed going closer.


    Lucien stroke her hair as he thought of possible ways to tell her of his trip .


    Lucia remembered the love test and concluded she would begin tomorrow .


    She noticed how tensed Lucien looked but decided to wave it off .


    ¡± Lucia ¡± he called softly and Lucia raised her head up .


    ¡± Hmmm ¡± she answered paying rapt attention.


    ¡± I will be going on a trip tomorrow and will return after two days ¡± he said and Lucia jerked up.


    ¡± Oh a business trip I guess ¡± she said and Lucien nodded cupping her face.


    ¡± I promise you , you won¡¯t miss me too much , you would go to work with one of the cars and you can go shopping if you want and if you feel like getting pizza , burger or anything use the  card ¡± he said and Lucia nodded sadly


    ¡± I will miss you ¡± she said and Lucien chuckled as he hugged her.


    ¡± I will miss you too and another thing, ¡­


    He paused for a while not knowing how to break the news .


    ¡°Lucia, I and my secretary are going on the trip , she signed the deal ¡± he said and Lucia pulled back immediately .


    ¡± What. ! Sleeky snake ¡± she said with anger .


    Lucien palmed his face as he tried to touch her .

    ¡± Lucia please open up , let¡¯s talk about this . Please trust me nothing is going to happen between us there . I love you and you know that . Please don¡¯t do this ¡± he said and after waiting without hearing anything , he turned back and headed for his room , but felt a hand wrap around his back as he was about entering the room  .


    Lucien smiled in relief as he turned and held her close to himself .


    ¡± I promise you that nothing will happen and for the fact we would be in separate suites till I return ¡± he said .


    ¡± It¡¯s fine , ¡± Lucia said and kissed him which Lucien responded to immediately and Lucia wrapped her legs around his torso .


    Lucien supported her weight as he carried her into the room .


    He dropped her on the bed and the rest was history.

    Thelma dried her tears as she wondered where she had gone wrong for Derrick to be giving her a cold shoulder all day .


    She turned and startled at the towering figure before her and shook .


    She was about moving away from him when he pulled her closer and engaged her in a frenzy kiss before pulling away.


    ¡± I am sorry ¡± he said calmly cupping her face and wiped the tears trickling down .


    ¡± I am sorry for making you cry when we are not even married yet ¡± he said and Thelma nodded .


    ¡± I just got into a bad mood and everything was irking me . Lucien was the only one who could help me a bit ¡± he said and Thelma smiled and pecked him on the cheeks .Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡± It¡¯s fine but please don¡¯t do it again . I was very worried and couldn¡¯te with any thing or mistake I had done to deserve the treatment ¡± she said  and hugged him tightly making Derrick smile .


    He really loves thisdy and won¡¯t do anything to hurt her .


    Even if it means dying he would do it.


    ¡± Derrick I want icecream¡± Thelma said with a groan .


    ¡± Anything for my queen, I will just go get you one from the freezer¡± he said pulling away .


    ¡± No I don¡¯t want the one in the fridge , I want a freshly made icecream not the one in the refrigerator for a long time. ¡± She said tearing up.


    ¡± What but this is already night Thelma, how do I get you a freshly made icecream by this time . ¡± He asked in surprise.


    ¡± So you won¡¯t get me a new icecream . What have I ever done wrong ¡± she said in anger walking to  the bed.


    ¡± Ok calm down   I will go get you the icecream now ¡± Derrick said itching his hair as he picked up his car keys and walked out of the room. .


    ¡± Was this how pregnant women behaves and Thelma hasn¡¯t even gone far in her pregnancy and she is already giving him  a lot of troubles .


    He got into his car as he thought of possible ces to go get the icecream this night and remembered Twitzers , they were always open 24hours 7 days and he had thought they were stupid but now he knew well that emergencies like this coulde up and he was grateful for their relentless services .


    Derrick got to Twitzers after a twenty minutes drive and hurriedly got in.


    He walked to where the icecream products were disyed .


    ¡± Ok make me four tes of icecream of the different vors you have here. ¡± He said and the attendant nodded .


    She wasn¡¯t surprised because people has alsoe with simr request like him .


    ¡± What size are you buying ¡± she asked pouring the materials into the icecream machine .


    ¡± The biggest size ..¡± he said


    ¡± That would be a bucket size ¡± she said with a grin .


    ¡± Yes do it and please be fast about it before she throws more tantrums¡± he said frustratedly .


    ¡± Lady problem right ¡± she asked pressing out the already made icecream into the container .


    ¡± Yes , pregnancy hormones ¡± he said not minding if she was poke nosing but he just needed someone to talk to and she had proved herself avable.


    ¡± Oh wow you are married ¡± she asked staring at his hands and not seeing any ring .

    ¡± Here have the icecream, I made vani, chocte, strawberry and banana vours ¡± he said and he nodded appreciatively .

    She was really attracted to him and damn if he had a pregnant wife.


    They were not yet married so she could still shoot her shot at him .


    She walked out of the counter with a cup of icecream as she headed to get some snacks to go with it .


    She can¡¯t wait and she was happy for the good luck which had shone upon her today .


    Just to trap him and snatch him .

 Angry Gavier

    49


    Mr Gavier stabbed the chief guard deeper and screwed it in harder .


    He was really angry and could kill the whole team for being so stupid  but he was going to vent his anger on the chief guard and five of his men .


    He was still dealing with the chief guard while the other guards bent down waiting for who would be killed .


    They were about fifty in number and all of them were apprehensive on who would die next.


    After making sure the chief guard was dead , he walked to his guard and grabbed another one .


    He shook in fright as he brought him to the front and before they knew what was happening a loud scream was heard and Gavier drew out the knife and let him fall to the ground .


    ¡± Weak being ¡± he said with a scoff and wiped the blood on the knife on the dead guard¡¯s shirt .


    ¡± I will finish this up tomorrow ¡± he said and started walking out .


    He turned back with the cold look on as usual


    ¡± Clear up this ce and I don¡¯t want no traces of blood or even a stench of blood neither do I want to have a glimpse of this body anywhere or your heads would go down for it.  ¡± He said and spat on the bodies before walking out .


    He was really angered and his stupid guards were to me for being so gullible and he knew that trusting that doctor to go there was so stupid of him .


    And now the stupid doctor was no where to be found with his damn family .


    Dos and that enemy¡¯s daughter were also no where to be found.


    Stuart was also missing.


    He wiped his hands on the shirt and took of the shirt dumping it in the bin .


    He walked out of the ce and drove off .


    He knew he would have a lot of questions to answer from his wife and angel when he got home but he had devised a means to answer them .


    He drove into thepound and met both of them outside waiting for him .


    He quickly adjusted himself as he walked towards them .


    He arranged the new shirt he was putting on and .


    ¡± Dad where¡¯s Dos ¡± Angel asked as soon as he got closer and he frowned .


    ¡± Seems you lost your respect Angel¡± he shunned and Angel bent her head .


    ¡± Sorry Dad . Good evening dad. I was just worried about my brother that¡¯s all ¡± she  said and he smiled .


    ¡± Your brother is not a kid you know so you don¡¯t have to be worried about him . He is fine and will soon be home . ¡± He said lying so effortlessly .


    Angel sniffed in tears as she nodded .


    She wished she didn¡¯t tell her dad of his whereabouts now she missed him so much .


    She went inside and Gavier turned to look at his wife who had a murderous look on her face .


    ¡± Where is my son ¡±  she  asked trying to keep her anger in check .


    ¡± I don¡¯t know , I think you should call him and ask him because I don¡¯t know ¡± he said and entered the house .


    ¡± Gavier get back here now ¡± she said following him inside the house when she heard her phone ring .


    She walked up to the dinning where the phoneid and was taken aback by the caller .


    It was Dos , her son , he was calling .


    She quickly picked it up and answered the call .


    ¡± Dos is this you son ¡± she asked and ,,,


    ¡± Mom I am fine , it¡¯s me . I will be back . Just need to get out of dad¡¯s eyes for now . Greet angel for me and tell her I love her despite her craziness . I don¡¯t know when I will be back but I hope you take care of yourself and look more beautiful before I get back . ¡± He said and sniffed and before she could reply he hung up .


    She sniffed as she tried calling back the number but it was switched off and not reachable .


    She broke down in tears as her heart shook .


    Her only son is running away from his dad ..


    How ironic ¡­,,


    ¡± Gavier ¡± she shouted running after him .


    He was going to get back her son or she would leak his dirty dealings to the police and even though she might get arrested in the process , she didn¡¯t care .


    She was sick and tired of all these .


    She opened the door and found him pacing around the room. .


    ¡± So you made him leave ¡± she asked in tears .

    Lucien woke up as soon as his rm rang out and slowly pulled away from Lucia who was still sleeping soundly .


    He covered her with a duvet and walked to the bathroom to go take his bath to avoid beente for his flight.


    After taking his bath , he walked to the wardrobe and got a white long sleeved shirt and blue  trousers to match it up , he buttoned up the shirt leaving two buttons open giving him a hot guy look .


    He walked to the mirror and picked up two of his nes and put it on .


    He picked out one of his wristwatches and put it on , picking out other bracelets to top it all .


    He was about wearing an earring when a hand wrapped his back .


    He didn¡¯t know that Lucia was awake and has been watching him since.


    ¡± You look like you worth a billion dors Mi Amor¡± she said and Lucien smiled .


    ¡± So you mean I look good then ¡± he asked turning around and kissed her lightly.


    ¡± Yes you sure do look handsome ¡± she said arranging his hair with her hands .


    She picked up a lip gloss lying on the table and applied a little to his lips and Lucien chuckled as he smacked his lips to put them to ce .


    ¡± You look like ady when smacking your lips ¡± she  said and Lucienughed .


    Lucia applied some to her lips and after smacking her lips together she kissed him by the shoulder leaving a lip print.

    He kissed her and Lucia reciprocated before pulling away .


    ¡± You don¡¯t want to miss your flight , do you . Hurry up ¡± she  said and Lucien smiled and kissed her on the forehead before hopping into the car .

    She might still be sleeping now because she might not be in work today .


    As he was still thinking about her , a familiar GLK parked in front of him , his Car .

    ¡± Wow this ce is beautiful Dos . How did you know about this ce ¡± Cami asked going around the house .


    ¡± Well ¡± Dos said itching the back of his head .¡±


    Cami knew he had something to say and paid rapt attention to him .


    ¡± Well I bought it like a year back ¡± he said and Cami gasped .


    ¡± Wow you have a lot of houses , how do you make the money to get all these .¡± She asked .


    ¡± Well I once worked for my dad ¡± he said with a sad smile .


    ¡± Its fine , as long as you don¡¯t go back to such a dirty job again then everything is fine ¡± she said ..¡±


    ¡± Ok enough of sad moments , let¡¯s check the interiors of the other part of the house  ¡± he suggested and lead her inside .


    They went to the kitchen which looked neat with just a little bit of dust since Dos has not told the cleaners to wipe it off .


    But aside that everything was in ce , the sink was rushing out well , the electric burner was also in good shape .


    Their next step was the rooms upstairs .


    She opened the first one and gasped on seeing the interiors .


    It was painted with baby pink with dots of ck on it and a medium sized bed was ced on the other side .


    A wardrobe that also looked beautiful was also ced there .


    Cami gave a mental thumbs up to the interior designer who designed the room .


    ¡± You like it . It¡¯s your room ¡± Dos announced and Cami leaped on his body .


    ¡± Like is an understatement , love is what I feel for the room and the whole house ¡± she said and Dosughed .


    ¡± Ok let¡¯s go check my own room and thest extra room and then the arcade and the gym room .,,,,,.

    She fell on the bed and pulled Dos along and kissed him lightly and Dos deepened the kiss till they were out of breath .


    Cami smiled as Dos broke the kiss .


    ¡± I miss this ¡± she said smiling.


    ¡± Me too ¡± Dos saidying on the other side of the bed because he had been towering over her .


    ¡± Uhmm let¡¯s check out for good schools you could attend here ¡± he said bringing out his phone from his pocket .


    ¡± Now ?? I thought we should we should view the back yard first ¡± she said and Dos chuckled .


    ¡± We can do thatter but you don¡¯t have to dodge looking for a school because you would eventually have to ¡± he said and Cami sighed .


    ¡± But it won¡¯t be the same without you¡± she said with a sad smile .


    ¡± I was going to leave school before you though ¡± he said and rolled her eyes and sheughed .


    ¡± But it wasn¡¯t going to be now , was it ¡± she said .


    ¡± I know but you see there¡¯s nothing I can do about it . I have money in my ount but it won¡¯tst that long ¡± he said and Cam smiled .

    ¡± Thanks for understanding baby . Thank you ¡± he said rubbing her back .


    ¡± And do you know what ¡± Dos said pulling back with a gleam of happiness on his face .


    ¡± What ¡± Cami asked confused .


    ¡± Well I could also enroll for part time sses or better still evening sses ¡± he said and Cami nodded .


    ¡± That¡¯s right and okay but can you cope with working and studying ¡± she asked holding his chin worriedly .


    ¡± There¡¯s nothing a determined heart can¡¯t cope with so I can . I don¡¯t want my kids thinking I don¡¯t have a certificate ¡± he said and Cami blushed at the word ¡± kids ¡± .


    So they were really going to have kids together .


    One of her greatest desire ever is to bear kids for him .


    ¡± Wow don¡¯t tell me you are suprised . You are going to bear my kids but not now anyway so I don¡¯t hinder your education and hopefully by then all of this dust rests ¡± he said stroking her hair .


    ¡± Yes I know that , don¡¯t want to be a preggie in school ..


    She paused and they bothughed .


    ¡± And hopefully everything is settled then and the whole dust rests as you said ¡± she said and Dos smiled and kissed her forehead .

    ¡± Well that can wait.  Why don¡¯t we enjoy our environment first and get acquainted with it abit before making all these ns . ¡± Dos exined and Cami shook her head at the words that just spilled from his mouth .


    Wasn¡¯t he the one that wanted to search for schools now and now he is saying another .


    Men would always be psychos.


    Sheughed at her thought .


    ¡± A penny for your thoughts ¡± Dos said with a frown.


    ¡± A penny can¡¯t buy my thoughts dearie .¡± She said and ran out of the room.


    ¡± Come here babe and don¡¯t let me catch you ¡± he said running after her .

    Don¡¯t you .??

 Please your mom

    Quinn held Damon¡¯s hand as she pulled him into an empty ss .


    Damon stared at her not realizing what she was up to .


    She brought her lips closer and kissed him .


    Expecting Damon to deepen the kiss , but instead he pulled back and pecked her two cheeks .


    Quinn boiled in anger when he did that and since she couldn¡¯t keep calm any longer , she voiced out .


    ¡± Damon what did I do , you don¡¯t find me attractive to you anymore . You found someone better  ,. I suddenly am not beautiful in your eyes anymore . My lips aren¡¯t calling to you anymore . You don¡¯t love ¡­


    Damon tired of her talks shut her up with a kiss which Quinn pulled away from immediately and pped him on the face .


    Damon held his face surprised.


    She just pped him.


    Yes he deserved it.


    For ignoring her for some time .


    He do talk to her but he no longer kissed her and stayed from her .


    Yes this was all Mrs Spencer .


    He knew kissing her might lead him to smooching her and then anything can happen and he can¡¯t afford to anger the woman .


    He took a long stare at Quinn who was on the verge of tearing up and tried to hold her but her next action shocked him .


    ¡± I hate you ¡± she spat and ran out in tears.


    Damon felt a knife sh through his chest at those three powerful words she had just spoken .


    He kicked the table in anger. Punching his hand on the walls till his hand bled .


    He has to beg Quinn and . make it up to her to even if it meant defying Mrs Spencer¡¯s words but first things first .


    Quinn ran into the female¡¯s restroom in tears .


    Was this how heartbreak felt like ??


    She asked herself .


    She had noticed his earlier changes in character and had decided to find out what was wrong .


    She had taken him to the ss and kissed him and he had pulled back and she felt her heart sh that she started vomiting those words .


    And then he had tried to kiss her .


    Who did he think he is to just toy with her feelings and kiss her again .


    So she had pulled back and had pped him..


    She regretted pping him but her emotions had taken a greater grip of her brain .C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    Then she just had to tell him she hates him .


    Yes she hates him because he had toyed with her ,.


    Shown her how to be loved and then dropped her in a valley of thorns .


    Quinn looked at the mirror and saw that her whole face was filled with tears and her hair messy .


    Her eyes were also reddish because of the tears .


    She heard a knock on the restroom ¡®s door .


    She turned to the door in anger .


    Who would think of disturbing her now ??


    Was the person blind not to see that the door was locked meaning someone was inside .


    She turned back to the mirror totally ignoring who was there.


    The knock came again and just as she was about to snap at the person .


    A voice came up .


    ¡± It¡¯s me Ava ¡±


    She sniffed on realizing that it was Ava as she felt her whole emotional wall break down the more.


    Just the perfect shoulder to cry upon .


    She didn¡¯t bother turning to the door as she muttered ae in  .


    Oh she locked the door from inside .


    She opened the door with the remote control still facing the mirror and the door opened and Quinn was expecting to sniff avender perfume as that was what Ava used.


    But she was greeted with a familiar scent , one that was stuck to her nostrils . One she won¡¯t miss anytime any moment . One scent that she wished she never came in contact with .


    That scent .


    Damon ¡­.


    And to confirm it , the person¡¯s hand wrapped around her waist.


    She felt herself weaken at his touch.


    All the walls she was trying to build copsed. .


    ¡­


    Damon had went in search of Quinn after seeing his bleeding hands were not going to bring her back .


    He ran out of the ss and had bumped into Ava who was wondering what was after him .


    He looked at Ava to see if she showed any sign that Quinn had gone to her but  she looked normal and so he had decided not to ask of Quinn¡¯s whereabouts from her .


    ¡± Quinn ¡± Ava had asked .


    She wasing to get Quinn when she bumped into Damon and Quinn wasn¡¯t with him .


    ¡± I am not with Quinn , she was here a few minutes ago but she left . Thought she came to you ¡± he said and Ava raised a brow ..


    ¡± Oh I will just go check in the library and then the restroom ¡± she said .


    ¡± Yeah sure , tell me when you find her  , I will see youter ,¡± he said and without waiting for her reply , he ran off and straight to the restroom .


    He knew that¡¯s where she would be or the changing room for those involved in athletics  .


    Those are the two ces he could think of considering the state which she had run out in.


    He got to the restroom and stood by the door and heard little sniffles inside .


    He had knocked and when the person opened it , it was another person and not Quinn so he decided to   check out the fifth one that Quinn was fond of using and had heard tears , heartbreaking tears inside .


    He knocked on the door and he could hear a cussing sound inside .


    He waited a few minutes before knocking again and had twisted his voice to be like Ava¡¯s and Quinn who he could say was blinded by tears hadn¡¯t taken full notice of the little masculinity of the voice and had told him toe in .


    When Damon turned the handle, it was still locked .


    He was about knocking again when he heard the beep of the remote control signifying that  it was open .


    He opened the door and took slow strides to her and wrapped his hands around her waist .


    He had expected resistance but he felt her rx in his arms .


    He stroked her hair and sighed .


    ¡± I am sorry for hurting you but it was all to please your mom¡± he blurted out and Quinn turned immediately wondering what her mother had to do with what is happening now ¡­


    T B C

 Gotcha

    Quinn cussed herself for loosening up to him, melting at his every touch . Not being able to hold any resistance against him .


    Was that how much she loves him ..


    Quinn turned to look at Damon confused by what he meant .


    ¡± What do you mean by what you just said , don¡¯t tell me you want to use my mom for this yourtest behavior ¡± she said anger evident on her face.


    Damon rubbed his hair as he loosened his hands from her waist . He doesn¡¯t know if telling her was a good idea but he was losing it and he couldn¡¯t also bear to see her in pains when it¡¯s not his fault .


    ¡± You don¡¯t even have anything to say about this ¡°she  snapped and was about leaving the restroom when he pulled her back .


    ¡± Your mom told me I shouldn¡¯t smooch or have sex with you ¡± he spat out bluntly and Quinn creased her brows .N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    ¡± What do you mean ¡± she asked .


    ¡± You know she asked to see me. She advised we don¡¯t have sex now ..,, not like I wanted us to have sex now but she also said no smooches . ¡± He exined and Quinn was speechless not knowing if he was telling the truth but he could not juste up with this as a lie .


    ¡± Ok let¡¯s believe you are saying the truth. Why don¡¯t you then talk to me as before , why don¡¯t you also kiss me or she didn¡¯t allow it either ¡± she asked staring keenly at him .


    ¡± Quinn your lips are my addiction , they are always calling into me and seriously there is no way i can kiss you without ending in smooches and i don¡¯t want your mom to find out. ¡± He exined and Quinn sighed .


    ¡± So you still love me ¡± she asked gently maybe afraid she might get a devastating answer .


    ¡± There¡¯s nothing that would make me stop loving you except death ¡± he said holding her chin .


    ¡± I am sorry about getting you hurt and sad . I hate to see you in tears , it breaks me into pieces so please try not to cry anymore ¡± Damon said and kissed her forehead .


    Quinn couldn¡¯t believe her mom .


    Her mom is so protective for her not to trust Damon also ..


    She ran her hands into his hair. .


    ¡± I am also sorry . Sorry for pping you , I shouldn¡¯t have , I should have seen the pains you were passing through but I was blind to see it . Blinded by my own self . I was selfish . She touched the ce she had pped earlier and saw it had some reddish marks on it although it was faint .


    Damon held her hand on his face and she smiled .


    ¡± Does it still hurt ¡± she asked and he nodded and she smiled sadly .


    ¡± But do you know what can calm this down now ? ¡± He asked with a wink .


    ¡± No ¡± she said looking at him not understanding what he meant .


    ¡± A kiss from these lips I missed ¡± he said and before Quinn couldprehend what was happening he mmed his lips on hers and they engaged in a  frenzy kiss .


    Quinn held unto him as her hands roamed his back.


    She was his addiction and he was her addiction also .


    They forgot about their environment as they kissed deeply . .


    ..


    Cara threw her shoe at the wall of the executive hotel  room that was prepared for her .


    Today just passed and she hasn¡¯t even been able to make Lucien look at her eyes for long and damn she had seen someone she never expected to see .


    During the flight , their ne seats were positioned side by side on that row and she had been filled with joy that she would able to throw seductive winks at Lucien and also ignite a conversation that would stir up some hormones in him but as soon as the ne had taken off , Lucien smiled at Cara before taking out his ear piece , plugged in his phone and had closed his eyes .


    He only opened his eyes when meal was been served and during that time he initiated a conversation about office work and he didn¡¯t even give her a chance to bring forth another topic .


    After series of talking , he had taken a ss of water and then closed his eyes again .


    When they hadnded , and thepany¡¯s car came to pick them at the airport and then drove them to the hotel where they would lodge .


    Her room door was three rooms away from Lucien¡¯s own whening in.


    So Lucien got to his before hers .


    Cara had expected him toe see her to hers but his words were simply .


    ¡± Goodnight Cara , see you tomorrow ¡± he said smiling. .


    Her anger brewed despite she suppressed it and smiled before rolling her luggage to her suite .


    She had brought in a lot of her sexy lingerie that¡¯s why she brought a bag because thepany had offered to get them clothes for the days they would spend here .


    Cara quickly took her bath and requested for two sses of wine as she dressed up.


    She put on a sexy revealing lingerie and wore a robe on it to cover up but should incase it results to sex , she would still look edible to eat.


    She carried the wine tray containing a bottle of wine , two ss cups and some ice from the butler who hade to serve it .


    The butler gave her a nod and walked away .


    It was an all expenses trip so there was no need to pay .


    She shut the door as she headed to Lucien¡¯s room swaying her hips .


    She knocked on the door gently .


    ¡± Who¡¯s there ¡± she had heard his deep masculine voice ask her .


    ¡± It¡¯s Cara , your secretary ¡± she answered praying in her mind that he doesn¡¯t ask her what she is here for because he might turn her down .


    After a brief silence ,, he told her toe in .


    Cara entered the room and met him seated on the study or she could call it work table due to what it served now .


    She was dissapointed he didn¡¯t even raise his head to look at her but that didn¡¯t deter her as she walked to him .


    ¡± I brought you wine boss ¡± she said loosening her robe abit .


    Lucien raised his head and almost chuckled on what she was trying to do but saved it.


    ¡± Ok thanks . ¡± He said still working on hisputer .


    Cara bit her lips as she thought of what to do .


    ¡± Boss is there anything that I can help you to do ¡± she asked walking close to him and bending down revealing her exposed boobs in the lingerie .


    Lucien blinked  his eye and Cara bit her lips as she used her hands to hold up the boobs knowing she had got him .


    No one can resist her .


    ¡± Cara where do you get those lingerie from ¡± Lucien asked after a brief silence and Cara knew she had gotten him .

 Who鈥檚 fault?

    ¡± Well I got them from a personal shopper back in California¡± she said smiling .


    Lucien looked at her with a smug smile stered on his face .


    He almost vomited when she had shown him her boobs earlier or rather revealed her boobs .


    But he held himself .


    Cara looked at Lucien wondering what¡¯s with the smug smile on his face and anger glistened eyes .


    ¡± Do you still like your job Miss Cara ¡± he asked and she was taken aback .


    Where is he headed .


    ¡± Yes I do sir ¡± she said gainingpusure immediately .


    ¡± I don¡¯t think you do but if you do , i will advise that you never pull this stunt again , because it would lead to your exit from my organization for good . So get the hell out of this ce now before I loose my cool ¡± Lucien snapped angrily and Cara shook .


    She had never seen this side of her boss and it seemed he was a different individual now.


    She was about leaving the room when he called her .


    ¡± Come back here and take this wine out of here and as you can see I already had wine ¡± he said raising up the half filled bottle of Italian wine and an empty ss cup that had been sitting on a stool by his side .


    Cara returned back and picked up the tray carefully avoiding his eyes .


    ¡± And Miss Cara ..


    ¡± Yes boss ¡± she answered shaking already .


    ¡± Stop wasting your personal shopper¡¯s time by getting lingeries that don¡¯t fit you ¡± he said and that was thest straw that broke the camel¡¯s back as she felt hot tears build up in her eyes as she ran out of the room .


    ¡­ ¡°Arrgh¡± Cara yelled as she remembered what happened yesterday and how humiliated she had been .


    She had wiped her tears and decided to try today but today didn¡¯t only turn out worse but very bad.  .


    She had gone to the buffet that had been set  dressed elegantly in the dresses that were gotten for her. .


    She had gotten to the ce and she was wowed at the differentpanies CEO in attendance and then her eyes had fallen on one person ,.,, How was the taxi driver that always stalked her present in the meeting meant for CEO¡¯S .


    She had kept calm and raised her head to his direction again and their eyes had met and he gave her a small smile coupled with a grin and she turned her face away .


    He could only be maybe a representative ¡® she thought .


    But she was shocked when he was introduced as a CEO of one of the biggest interior designing in California .


    She couldn¡¯t believe this .


    He was this rich and she had been on Lucien¡¯s tail when she had another rich handsome CEO on her tail .


    How can she not be able to see way beyond his rickety car .


    Why couldn¡¯t she be able to decipher from the whiff in his perfume ; a very costly one.


    She raised her head and smiled at him but he just shook his head and faced his meal .


    After the meal and the different CEO¡¯S were having little talks with each other .


    She spotted him standing by the bar in the hotel hall and a guy who he suppose to be his secretary standing beside him .


    She turned and saw Lucien talking with the CEO of a publishing firm.


    She turned and took slow and steady strides towards him .


    ¡± Hi ¡± she said tucking her hair behind her ears .


    Jason turned around as he heard the familiar voice behind him .


    The voice he had been dying for .


    ¡± Hi ¡± he stared at her with an indifferent look . .


    Cara had been dissapointed at his reply .


    She had hoped he would take the conversation forward .


    After all he likes her .


    ¡± My name is Cara ¡± she said embarrassed by the silly reply she just gave .


    ¡± Uhmm wow . I thought Miss rude doesn¡¯t have a name or maybe the name just sprouted out knowing I own a big firm right ¡± he asked and Cara itched her neck nervously and thought of a nice answer because she was definitely not ready to lose her guard down again .


    ¡± Well sorry about that day , I wasn¡¯t so much in a good mood ¡± she said feigning innocence .


    Jason almost chuckled as he looked at the ridiculousdy in front of him .


    The samedy that had made him lose a girl who was ready to help him despite all odds .


    Oh how he missed Lucia and hasn¡¯t been able to get himself since she left .


    He realized he loves her but had decided to let her go since he messed up.


    ¡± Oh you were not in a good mood till the moment I was announced as a CEO or wasn¡¯t that a cold look I had seen on your face a while ago ¡± he said and his secretary couldn¡¯t help but chuckle making Cara re at him .


    ¡± I am sorry . Can we be friends again ¡± she said knowing she was sounding ridiculous but who cares anyway.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡± Oh Miss uhmm Carriage or what did you say was your name . I don¡¯t be friends with gold diggers ¡± he said and smiled at her embarrassed state .


    ¡± Mark let¡¯s go ¡± he said and left .


    He can¡¯t still believe that weeks back he was all over thatdy .


    He had been stupid .


    Lucien who had finished talking and turned around to look for Cara but had found her talking to the CEO of the interiorpany .


    He took careful step as he passed them and stood where he could still hear them making sure not to grab their attention .


    He shook his head as he walked up to Cara.


    ¡± You really have no shame do you ? ¡± He said and Cara was shocked to see him standing there .


    Lucien shook his head as he left her standing there .


    ¡± What a waste of sperm ¡± he thought heading to his hotel room .


    ¡­


    Cara held the bedsheets tightly as she vented her anger on it.


    Today had been the worst day of her life .


    This trip had gone worse than what she nned .


    She wished she can just rewind the hands of the clock.


    Perhaps if she had acted a bit nice and not being filled up with Lucien


    This was all Lucien¡¯s fault or that sleeky girlfriend of his or was it hers .


    Or maybe Jason who had disguised himself .


    T B C ..

 I love her

    Lucia stirred on the bed as her mind wandered to Lucien.


    She hoped he hasn¡¯t fallen into that devil¡¯s trap .


    She didn¡¯t want to call him in order not to seem too possessive but now she could not help it .


    She picked up her phone and almost dialed his number but decided to go to Lucien¡¯s room first .


    Maybe she will stop missing him if she sniffs his scent a bit.


    She walked out of her room and walked to    Lucien¡¯s room and opened his door. .


    The scent and everything weed her as she sat on his bed .


    She walked to his wardrobe and picked one of his recently worn shirt and sniffed it in .


    Smells just like Lucien. ¡± She thought


    She walked to the bed with the shirt in her hands as she heard her phone ring.


    She picked up the phone and smiled as she saw the person calling .


    Just who she wanted to hear his voice .


    Lucien .


    She swiped the green button and waited for his voice toe up.


    ¡± Baby girl ¡± she heard him say and Lucia blushed.


    ¡± Don¡¯t blush when I am not there ¡± Lucien said and Luciaughed .


    ¡± How are you doing ¡± she asked happiness evident in her voice .


    ¡± Well not too fine. I miss you so much and I miss those inviting lips ¡± he said and Lucia bit her lips .


    ¡±  You are so naughty , well I missed you too pervert ¡± she said and Lucien roared withughter.


    ¡± Only for you mi amor ¡± he said and Lucia¡¯s face heated up .


    ¡± Where are you now ¡± she asked.


    ¡± Well I am on my bed and I am about to go to bed.  Tomorrow is thest day and it¡¯s going to be a big feast with other dignitaries in attendance ¡± he said and Lucia hummed .


    ¡± Well that¡¯s okay ..,,


    Lucia smiled as she saw Lucien inviting her to a video call .


    She quickly epted it and was wowed at the room as Lucien had tilted the phone for her to see .


    ¡± The room surely looksfortable ¡± she said gaping at his shirtless body .


    How much she really wants to roam her hands against his abs and suck those nipples .


    Lucienughed at the look on Lucia¡¯s face .


    ¡± You are thinking dirty now aren¡¯t you ¡± he said and Luciaughed .


    ¡± You caught me ¡± she said with a wink.


    Lucien looked into the phone well and he wasn¡¯t mistaking .


    She is in his room. .


    ¡± Aww do you miss me so much that you had to go to my bedroom ¡± he said with a grin .


    Lucia had totally forgotten she was still there and she knew Lucien was going to tease her badly with it .


    ¡± Wait is that my shirt ¡± he said and Luciaughed a nervousugh .


    She quickly hid the shirt and Lucien roared inughter .


    ¡± Don¡¯t be shy . Ok look what I got here ¡± Lucien said and Lucia looked at him as he brought out a shirt which she had not seen earlier from his side .


    ¡± Wait that¡¯s my shirt . How did you get my shirt ¡± she asked , curiosity eating her up .


    ¡± Well a man has his way when he wants to be close to the woman he loves ¡± he said and Lucia blushed .


    ¡± Wait is it me or are  your boobs getting bigger ¡± Lucien asked and Lucia bent down her head and was shocked to see the first three buttons of her pyjamas open revealing her boobs .


    ¡± Pervert ¡± Lucia said and Lucien roared inughter .


    ¡± Couldn¡¯t stop my eyes from taking in something nice you know ¡± he said with a smug smile and Luciaughed .


    ¡± Babe I gotta sleep now . There is work tomorrow , you know I am  not you that has to go feast tomorrow ¡± Lucia said and rolled her eyes and Lucien smirked .


    ¡± Well you could take a day off ¡± he said and Lucia rolled her eyes.


    ¡± Take a day off . How many days have I even gone to work . Stop spoiling me Lucien . People are already talking ¡± she said and Lucien scoffed .


    ¡± Fine but not because I don¡¯t want people to talk because I really want them to ,,, but because you insist and your wish is mymand ma¡¯am ¡± he said and did a mock bow and winked at Lucia making her groan. .


    ¡± Good night and eat wisely .¡± She said and Lucien nodded and blew her a kiss before she hung up .


    Lucia smiled as she closed her eyes .


    Was this how love felt ??


    Was there any need for a love test .??


    He had shown her that he really loves her so was there a need.


    Lucia was still buried in her thoughts when her phone rang.


    She wouldn¡¯t believe it¡¯s Lucien again .


    She picked up the phone and stared at the screen taken aback by the name disyed on it ..


    JASON


    But why was he calling ,


    She asked herself as she swiped the receivers button .


    ¡± Hello  Good evening sir Jason¡± she greeted politely .


    Jason felt butterflies in his belly as he heard her voice .


    ¡± How are you Lucia ¡± he said .


    ¡± I am fine and you sir. ¡± She asked feeling sleepy .


    ¡± Well stop the sir. Or do you forget that you don¡¯t walk for me again so I won¡¯t appreciate you calling me sir ¡± he said and she mumbled a yes.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡± How have you been Sir Jason .. sorry Jason ¡± she asked .


    ¡± Well I have been fine and all. I am on a business trip in Los Angeles . More like a feast organized to mark a partner ship stuff ¡± he said and Lucia smiled .


    Wait a minute could it be it was the same ce Lucien went .


    It was also Los Angeles he went to so it could be but maybe not .


    ¡± Guess what ,¡± she heard Jason¡¯s voice bringing her out from her reverie .


    ¡± Huh what¡¯s that ¡± she asked .


    ¡± I met Cara there , that samedy I wanted you to woo and she gave me a suprised look when she heard that I am a CEO and as soon as the buffet was over , she came begging . ¡± He said and Luciaughed not only because of what happened but also because it was no other person but Cara she knows so it was the same event  .


    Cara is so shameless ¡® she thought .


    ¡± She is so loose ¡± she said sleepily and Jason noticed it.


    ¡± Jason I have to sleep now ¡± she said and he smiled .


    ¡± Ok go to sleep , will check up on you some other time ¡± he said but Lucia was already deep in sleep to even hear him .


    Jason kissed his phone screen as he hung up .

 A date.

    ¡± Mom I can¡¯t believe you almost made me break up with Damon¡± Quinn said after dinner and Mrs Spencer gave her a puzzled look .


    ¡± Don¡¯t give me that look of pretence mom , you know what I am talking about . How can you tell him not toe close to me  ¡± she snapped .


    ¡± Well I didn¡¯t , Is that what he told you . I only said no smooches ¡± she said rolling her eyes .


    Quinn looked at her mom in disbelief .


    Can¡¯t believe Damon was right about that smooches part .


    She had thought he was lying and just choose to believe him but now she knew better .


    ¡± Mom why did you have to interfere in my rtionship with Damon ¡± she said and Mrs Spencer sighed .


    ¡± I am sorry , I was just trying to look out for you ¡± Mrs Spencer said and Quinn groaned .


    ¡± Thanks Mom , I understand that you want my good but please can you not y this stunt again because I wont like it ¡± Quinn said and stood up from the couch .


    ¡± Moreover I am no longer a baby ¡± she said and stormed upstairs .


    Mrs Spencer sighed as she itched her hair ..


    She was just being a good mother , wasn¡¯t she ¡±


    She didn¡¯t mean to make her angry ¡± she thought ..


    And why would Damon even rat her out .


    That kid doesn¡¯t know how to keep secrets from his girlfriend .


    He sure deserves some spanking .


    She stood up as she headed to her room not bothering to check up on Quinn because she knew her daughter was a psycho .. .


    ¡­. .. .


    Lucia opened her eyes and looked around the room and then remembered she had slept off here .


    She sluggishly got up from bed and picked up her phone and headed for her room .


    Right now she feels like taking a day off like Lucien had suggested but would that not be selfish .


    If she works somewhere else then she won¡¯t think of silly excuses to bring up .


    So she spanked herzy self as she hurriedly brushed her teeth before taking her bath .


    After bathing Lucia picked out a green chiffon top with a V neck cutting and a white body hug skirt which has a split at the edge .


    She picked out a white camisole and put it on before wearing the chiffon top.


    She wore the skirt as she arranged the clothes properly .


    She locked the wardrobe and walked to the dressing table and sat down. .


    She loosened her hair and she wowed at the length of her hair .


    She had not really taken note of it yesterday since she had been in a hurry  but now just look at such long hair .


    Shebed the hair and packed it up in a pony tail before rolling it up in a messy bun .


    She carved some out and let it dangle in front of her head .


    She put on the ne she had worn yesterday that had gotten her colleagues talking and Patricia had been forced to ask her if she was rted to Lucien but she had justughed and waved the question because she herself doesn¡¯t know who she is to him so what does she have to say .C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    She quickly applied her signature lipgloss and did some a nude makeup and put on her earrings.


    She picked out a green stilleto and a white hand bag toplete her outfit.


    She picked the keys to the GLK she used yesterday not ready toe with another cars and absorb the stares .


    Oh she was not ready and would never be for now untill she knew where she really stands with Lucien .


    Talking about Lucien , she would have to talk to him at night and she is so happy that he is returning tomorrow .


    She misses him and the house looks empty without him or rather the house was empty without him .


    She walked out elegantly and got down the stairs .


    She stepped into the kitchen and picked an apple which she munched and held a can of water in the other hand .


    She would get a cup of coffee and maybe some bread when she gets to the office .


    She sighed as she remembered the piled up documents that Patricia has piled up for her .


    she was so mean ¡± she thought but waved it aside .


    It was her duty as an assistant by the way .


    She felt her phone buzz in her bag as she walked out of the kitchen .


    She held the apple in her mouth and used the free hand to open her bag to see a message .


    And it was from Jason .


    And then it striked in her .


    Jason had called her yesterday .


    What had they even talked about .


    She had been sleepy to remember what happened .


    She touched the fingerprint sensor and the phone opened revealing the message .


    Lucia squinted her eyes as she read the contents of the message .


    Was sir Jason really serious right now .


    A dinner date with her on Saturday .


    Today is Thursday and Lucien would return tomorrow and she would want to spend the Saturday with him but what can she do .


    Was she to refuse her ex boss if there was a word like that .


    What was this date going to be about .?? Why had he requested to see her .


    All these thoughts yed in Lucia¡¯s mind as she got out of the house and walked to the car .


    Confused on what to reply him , she threw the phone into her bag and got into the car .


    T B C ..


    Jason ?

 Another admirer

    57


    Ken picked up his books as he was done with his course for today .


    He made his way for the exit of the hall when he bumped into Jeff his friend in science department .


    ¡± Hey dude dog got your tail ¡± Ken asked looking at him with his haphazardly breathing.


    ¡± Nothing of such dummy . I just came to get you ¡± he said and Ken looked at him like he had gone psych .


    ¡± When did you starting to get me . Or did those girls with big behind note to sses today ¡± ken asked creasing his brow because he knows that Jeff would nevere so they could walk home after sses.


    IYes they were roommates also .


    He was always with onedy or the other and he had been nicknamed a yboy and cassanova by all who knew him because of his life style so you see if Ken waw surprised that he was here then he has his assumptions right ..


    ¡± Well actually they didn¡¯te . Seems they all went on a vacation but that¡¯s not the reason I came here anyway ¡± he said and Ken looked at him closely .


    ¡± So why did youe here ¡± Ken asked .


    ¡± Well my brother is on campus , he came to see me and also wants to see my friend and you know some dors mighte out ¡± Jeff said and Ken scoffed .


    ¡± Who told you I am in dire need of money . I don¡¯t keep girls that bug me . Anyways which one of your brothers ¡± Ken asked because he knew Jeff had him about Four brothers .


    ¡± Well it¡¯s Tony ¡± he said and Ken smiled .


    Tony is Jeff¡¯s best brother that why he has been so ecstastic about it. .


    ¡± Ok fine let¡¯s go before you kill me here ¡± Ken said jokingly and Jeff scoffed and followed him behind as they walked .


    Tony was resting by his Lexus Jeep in the campus car garage .


    He had a lot on his mind as he waited for Jeff and his friend .


    Differentdies had passed , some tried to wink at him and flirt but he wasn¡¯t in for any of it now .


    It was surprising because he is a big time yboy .


    One trait he thinks Jeff inherited from him .


    But ever since his encounter with thedy he had trailed after and also lost her , he hasn¡¯t been over himself .


    His thoughts were filled with her all the time .


    Her face , her eyes , her hair , her soft skin when he held her and how she walked with elegance .


    He really needed to see her because he doesn¡¯t know if he is going to run crazy very soon .


    He was still in thought and didn¡¯t know when Jeff called him ..


    ¡± Broe on . What are you thinking about ¡± Jeff asked as Tony looked at him .


    ¡± Nothing , I am just tired ¡± he said and his brother looked suspiciously at him .


    Jeff had known his brother for so long to know that something was wrong with him and whatever it is was really eating him up .


    He decided to let him be for now so as not to ruin the air.


    Ken nudged him slightly and Jeff coughed .


    He had really forgotten him because of his brother¡¯s state .


    ¡± Uhm Tony this is my friend Ken and my roommate also . The one I always told you about ¡± he said and Tony smiled at me and brought out his hand for a handshake. .


    ¡± Hi Ken . I have heard all about you from my brother ¡± Tony said and Ken looked at Jeff in confusion .


    What could Jeff have said about him now .


    That mother fucker .


    ¡± It¡¯s all good ¡± Tony said and Jeffughed .


    ¡± Huh good in ¡± Ken asked not getting the stuff .


    ¡± I mean everything he said were good ¡± Tony said and Ken heaved a sigh .


    One couldn¡¯t trust his friend Jeff .


    ¡± Uhmm I can see you guys are done with sses . Why don¡¯t we go somewhere to rx and chill and also discuss ¡± Tony said and Jeff smiled happily .


    Ken just nodded .


    It wouldn¡¯t be bad cooling off some steam for a while .


    ¡± Any ces in mind ¡± Tony asked and Jeff nodded mischievously and both Ken and Tony knew that smile .


    It was when he was nning some mischiefs .


    ¡± So where do you have in mind ¡± Tony asked .


    ¡± The club ¡± Jeff said and Ken scoffed .


    ¡± Looking for moredies to catch ¡± Ken said and Jeff smirked .


    ¡± They rule  the world Ken .. loosen up and enjoy life ¡± Jeff said and Ken shook his head .


    How did he even be friends with this guy .


    ¡± Jeff , we can¡¯t go to the club . It¡¯s not yet night and besides I am not in the mood to catch a fewdies . We can do that some other time when we are ¡®alone ¡® ¡± Tony said and whispered the alone but Ken heard him .


    He shook his head .


    How can two brothers be in the business of cassanova  .


    Jeff blinked his eyes in awe .


    Has his brother just refused and offer to go to the club .


    It was almost night and besides the club had always been lively any time of the day.


    He then concluded that his brother was really not okay.


    Jeff turned to look at Ken and was annoyed by the triumphant smirk on his face .


    One he wish he could wipe away.


    ¡± So Ken do you have any idea on where we can go to ¡± Jeff said looking at him.


    He knew Ken would vomit rubbish and he was ready tough his ass out .


    ¡± Yeah any idea Ken ¡± Tony asked staring at Ken who but his lips in deep thoughts.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡± Uhmm why don¡¯t we go to an arcade ¡± he blurted out and Jeff bit his lips at the wonderful idea he had got .


    No asses tough out .

    Have we heard of him before ??

    ¡± Wow Ken that¡¯s a nice idea . . It¡¯s been long we visited the arcade . ¡± Tony said with a smirk on his face .


    Jeff knew the smirk was to spite him.


    Well he has just been smitted .


    ¡± Fine let¡¯s go y games . Games guy ¡± he said and Ken chuckled .


    ¡± Ladies guy ¡± he said and winked .Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡± Enough of your bickerings . Get into the car ¡± Tony said getting into the driver¡¯s seat .


    Ken opened the back door and got in while Jeff sat at the front seat .


    Tony started the ignition, floored the gas pedal and drove out of the campus .


    Ken sang to the ¡± Girls Like You ¡±  by Maroon 5 and Cardi B ying in the car stereo .


    Jeff groaned and turned to Ken .


    ¡± Howe you have a girl¡¯s voice and came as a guy. Are you sure you are not a girl ¡± Jeff asked Ken and Tony couldn¡¯t help butugh .


    Likewise Ken


    ¡± Nice voice Ken ¡± Tonyplimented and Jeff scoffed .


    ¡± Stop being jealousdies guy ¡± he said and Jeffughed .


    ¡± Stop being stupid . You know I am not just adies guy , I am also good at ying games ¡± he said and Kenughed .


    ¡± Wow he is so boastful . I like that ¡± Ken said .


    Tony chuckled as he drove on .


    The two of them were a handful and he couldn¡¯t wait to run away .


    His mind was still pre upied with the prettydy and he doesn¡¯t know why .


    He wishes a little bit of gaming would help him.


    ¡± Ok why don¡¯t we make a bet ¡± Jeff said .


    ¡± Ok in . How much are we betting on here . Let¡¯s see if its worth my winning  ¡± Ken asked and Tony wowed at his confidence .


    ¡± Ok it¡¯s not about money now . Why don¡¯t we make this more interesting¡± Jeff said rubbing his hands together .


    ¡± Ok what¡¯s the ridiculous idea you are bringing up . ¡± He asked.


    ¡± Well if I win you , you have to follow me to the club five times ¡± he said and Ken ruffled his hair .


    Jeff really wants to y smart with him .


    ¡± And if I win ¡± he asked .


    ¡± Well choose whatever you wish dummy ¡± he said and Ken smiled as a thought came into his head .


    ¡± If I win ,,, uhmm. . you don¡¯t get to bed any girl for one week . ¡± He said and Tony and Kenughed at the horrified look that spread on Jeff¡¯s face .


    He couldn¡¯t believe that Ken woulde up with such a smart idea just as he did .


    ¡± And what if I fail to keep to the bet.  What are you going to do ¡± Jeff asked putting on a nk face to enclose his nervousness.


    ¡± Well thats mine to decide.¡± He said and Jeff nodded .


    Ken was also feeling nervous, he knows he is very good at games but what if tables turn against him now .


    Will he be able to stand going to the club even once talk more of five times .


    He needs to win this by all means .


    Jeff felt his hands sweat as his brother drove closer to an arcade.


    Was he going to win .


    He wasn¡¯t really good at games since he hardly yed them but he didn¡¯t expect Ken to ept the bet and now he was in a dilemma.


    Would he be able to stand not bedding ady for a week .


    They were like his force to push forward and to charge up.


    He made up his mind to win .


    There was nothing hard in handling a console and moving the keys.


    ¡± We are here ¡± Tony said and parked properly.


    ¡± Wow finally can¡¯t wait to go clubbing with some losers ¡± Jeff said and Tony chuckled.


    He knew his brother was only acting strong .


    Because he could see the nervousness in his eyes but who was he to spoil the show that his brother¡¯s boastfulness had caused him.


    . .


    Tony bought two tickets of ¡® Dark side ¡® one of the mostplicated game that needed skills to y .


    He wanted to buy a less harder game but his brother had insisted on having a much harder game.


    In his voice ¡± it would be so nice beating him in one of the hardest game that existed ¡±


    Tony had shook his head and had gone ahead to buy four tickets for the three of them and a partner he would get for himself because these two had kicked him out of the game .


    He was going to get himself a partner in the game room  .


    They walked into the direction where the game was set .


    Jeff picked up a console and Ken did same.


    ¡± Ok guys I will just turn it in with the tickets and then you guys y while I go get my partner.


    They both nodded and Tony switched it on and walked to a boy standing and watching others y.


    ¡± Do you mind ¡± he said stretching out a ticket.


    The boy beamed happily as he collected the ticket and they both walked to where the other game tv was.  .


    Jeff felt his hands shake as the game began .


    He looked at Ken and saw that he was looking all steady.


    If he was feeling nervous, he was doing a good job hiding it .


    Every wave of nervousness Ken had when be wanted to begin the game wiped off as soon as he touched the game console.


    It was as if a part of him was then buried inside it.


    He focused his eyes on the game as he controlled his avater .


    Jeff¡¯s avater was making silly moves. Thanks to the amateur yer holding the console .

 What鈥檚 up with Cara?

    59


    Quinn finished bathing and after rubbing her lotion , she picked out a knee-length simple gown with shiny diamondsced around the neck .


    She needed to look good  because she was going on a date with Damon today and everydy really needs to look good on their first date . .


    She brushed her hair in front of the mirror and packed it up in ponytail before wrapping it up in a messy bun .


    She pinned some clips on her hair and smiled at her reflection in the mirror.


    She applied some nude makeup to her face and it glowed the more.  .


    ¡± Quinn , Damon is here already ¡± she heard her mother say and her nervousness increased .


    Was she looking fine !?


    Was her makeup okay ?


    All these thoughts were running through her head as she looked at herself all over .


    She picked up a stilleto and a clutch purse to match .


    She fitted her legs into the stilleto as she walked out of the room.


    She doesn¡¯t know why she feels nervous .


    Not like he hasn¡¯t asked her out already but this would be her first official date with him and with any guy at all so she deserves to be nervous right.


    She was about opening the door when she ran back to the mirror to check herself out onest time .


    Quinn walked out of the room and her nervousness increased when she heard Damon¡¯s voice talking with her mom ..


    She walked down the stairs and came  into view .


    A gasp escaped Damon¡¯s lips as he saw Quinn looking all dazzling and beautifuling down the stairs..


    Mrs Spencer looked even wowed by her daughter¡¯s transformation much more than Damon .


    Quinn felt nervous as the two pairs of eyes stared at her .


    Was she looking fine or not


    She eye scanned Damon and was wowed the way he looked hot in the ck long sleeved shirt which he left a few buttons opened on an ash trousers .


    His hair style made him look like some yboy .


    ¡± Quinn you look so beautiful ¡± Damon said and she blushed .


    ¡± Thanks and you  don¡¯t  look bad either . ¡± She said .


    ¡± Midy shall we ¡± he said walking up to me and she hooked his hands in his curved hands .


    ¡± Mom see youter ¡± she said and kissed her cheek as she smiled at us .


    ¡± Ok see you guyster and Damon take good care of my daughter ¡± Mrs Spencer said with a wink and Quinn groaned.


    ¡± Sure ma¡¯am , her safety is my utmost concern ¡± he said and Quinn blushed .


    ¡± So hurry up guys. See you guyster ¡± she said and walked towards the door to lock it up.


    ¡± Mom I haven¡¯t even left and you are locking up the door . Do I really pester you ¡± she asked feigning annoyance and Mrs Spencer groaned .


    Quinn can be so unbelievable.


    If she had dyed her from leaving she would get mad and erupt like a time bomb .


    So she decided to serve her the pill of her own medicine .


    ¡± Quinn yes go on , you are bugging me ¡± she said pushing them out and they allughed .


    ¡± Bye Mom. ¡± Quinn said before her mom locked the door .


    Damon walked Quinn to his car parked by the road and Quinn wowed at the car .


    ¡± When did you get a car ¡± she asked feeling the exterior .


    ¡± Well I always had it since but rarely use it . I only use it when the opportunity pops itself ¡± he said and Quinn nodded .


    Their date was an opportunity to bring out this baby .


    ¡± So where are we going to ¡± she asked .


    ¡± It¡¯s a surprise and I wouldn¡¯t want to spill my own surprise ¡± he said and Quinn grinned.


    Surprises were always nice .


    He opened the door for her and ushered her in before going to the other side and he hopped in .Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    He floored the gas pedal and they were driving off .


    .


    Cara put on the yellow long dinner gown that had a V neck cut at the back and wasced with diamonds .


    She applied more makeup on her face to look more attractive to Jason or Lucien .


    Anyone she can get a hold of .


    She sure would .


    She picked her purse as she walked out of the hotel room .


    She sighed as she remembered she has not even gotten her ns right and now tomorrow they would be flying back and Lucien would run back to his little sleeky girlfriend .


    The thoughts of it churned her belly and she felt like throwing up badly .


    She went back into the room and vomited everything in her bowels into the toilet seat .


    She wiped her mouth and came out of the toilet and walked to the mirror to arrange her make up which she is sure would have been ruined already .


    And just as she guessed . A part of it was smeared at the side .


    She quickly arranged her makeup properly before rushing out of the room because she didn¡¯t want Lucien waiting for her .


    .


    Lucien arranged his tie properly and ruffled his hair giving him the hot and handsome CEO vibes.


    He was happy this trip wasing to an end because he was really missing Lucia and everything about her ..


    He walked out of the room and just as he expected , Cara was waiting for him and he hate to admit it that she looks beautiful but he wasn¡¯t going topliment her to avoid giving her a wrong expression .


    Instead he imagined how Lucia would look like on a date with him and he knew she would not look less pretty than she already is .


    Lucien locked his door and signalled for Cara to follow him .


    Cara followed him sadly really dissapointed he hadn¡¯t even given her a harmlesspliment .


    He always did do that before but now she ruined it.


    She has indeed lost to Lucia and she won¡¯t let her go free with it .

    Damon helped Quinn up on the swing as he swung her gently first .


    Quinn was enjoying the scenery of the amusement park at night .


    Just few persons were around and it was really enthralling and peaceful .


    ¡± Higher babe ¡± Quinn said tired of the low and slow motion he was using.


    Damon smirked and smiled.


    ¡± Ok you ask for it so here is it ¡± he said and took the swing backwards for a while before releasing it up in the air .


    Quinn who wasn¡¯t expecting that far held unto the swing as the cool evening breeze breezed her already loosed hair across her face .


    The swing got down and Damon moved to her front and pushed the hair away from her face before stealing a kiss from her .


    ¡± Damon ¡± she yelled but he swung the swing up immediately .


    Quinn chuckled as she saw what he had done.


    The swing got down and Damon helped here down .


    ¡± Let¡¯s go get some icecream. ¡± Quinn said pointing at the icecream shop in the park .


    ¡± Humm what¡¯s withdies and icecream ,¡± Damon asked shaking his head .


    ¡± Well you should go ask the firstdy who started taking ice cream ¡± Quinn said pulling Damon with her .


    He sighed in resignation as he followed her .


    They got to the icecream shop and met a young guy there .


    ¡± Uhmm what can I offer you couple ¡± he asked and Quinn blushed at the word couples .


    ¡± Uhmm is there a couple special ¡± he asked and the guy nodded .


    ¡± Ok get us one ¡± Damon said and Quinn smiled at him .


    ¡± Stop smiling like that or I might kiss you right here and now ¡±  Damon warned and Quinnughed .


    The guy came out with the couple special and Damon paid for it and took it .


    ¡± Where do we seat ¡± Quinn asked looking around .


    ¡± The grassy ground babe ¡± Damon said lowering himself to the ground not too far from the swing they used earlier .


    Quinn lowered herself to the grass also and opened up the icecream pack that was taking Damon¡¯s time to open.


    She scooped a spoonful into her mouth and munched on the cold sweet thing closing her eyes


    Damon got lost looking at her eating up the ice cream .


    She looks beautiful in everything she does¡± he thought .


    Quinn opened her eyes as she felt an intense gaze on her. .


    . She found Damon staring at her and she touched her face to see if anything was on her face .


    Damon chuckled at her reaction .


    ¡± There¡¯s nothing on your face Mi Amor so eat your icecream .¡± He said and Quinn smiled.


    ¡± Why are you not having some icecream ¡± she asked scooping another one .


    ¡± Open up ¡± she said and Damonughed as he opened his mouth and on the process , a part of the icecream fell on his chin .


    Damon was about wiping it off but Lucia held his hand .


    ¡± I can handle it ¡± she said and used her tongue to lick up the icecream which sent shivers into his body making him jerk as he stared at her lips .


    Her lips were inviting him .


    Quinn who was oblivious to what was going on in Damon¡¯s head returned to eating her icecream .


    The icecream was so sweet and too bad that Damon wasn¡¯t interested in the icecream.


    ¡­.


    They bothid on the grass after Damon had taken a few more spoons of  Icecream and Quinn had finished up the bowl of remaining icecream .


    Damon pressed Quinn¡¯s hand softly to his as they both looked in the sky .


    ¡± Do you know what I always think about for the future ¡± Damon asked after a brief minutes of silence .


    ¡± No ¡± Quinn answered .


    ¡± Well I see my future going all good . I be a medical doctor , I make my grandparents happy . I build up more wealth and then get married to you ¡± he said and Quinn¡¯s eyes teared up  as he said those things .


    So she is part of his future .


    Yes she wants to be a part of his future and he really thinks of her also .


    ¡± Thanks Damon and I hope all your future dreamse to pass especially being your wife ¡± Quinn said and her face heated up .


    ¡± Yeah you are my wife and you are going to give me four kids ¡± Damon said and Quinn yelled .


    ¡± Four kids , that¡¯s too much babe ¡± Quinn said and Damonughed .


    ¡± Ok how many do you want ¡± he asked .


    ¡± I just need two , a boy and a girl and they would be twin because I can¡¯t  be in thebour room two times  .

    ¡± You are so funny Quinn .¡± He said stillughing .


    ¡± Fine why don¡¯t you get pregnant and then you can give birth to two who I would take care of so them you can then give birth to another two for yourself. ¡± Damon said and Quinnughed at his cunningness .


    ¡± Are you the one carrying them Mr Damon and besides do you want to divide my family at an early stage ¡± she said and Damon chuckled the way she was already possessing the family to herself .


    Wasn¡¯t it his family also .


    ¡± Fine you can do what you want . Two kids it is but before then maybe my darling might have changed her mind ¡± Damon said and Quinn rolled her eyes .


    ¡± You wish ¡± she said and theyughed .


    Damon stared at her lips and before she could reply , he mmed his lips on hers .

 A Playboy鈥檚 love

    61


    Tony , Jeff and Ken sat on their bed in their hostel room .


    Tony was lying down , same as Jeff while Ken sat down with his back rested on the wall.


    Tony had decided toe with them and rx a bit before leaving tomorrow .


    Jeff sulked at the realization that he had lost the game and won¡¯t be able to bed ady for a week .


    Why had he being so boastful and now see where it hasnded him into .


    Ken smirked at Jeff anytime he turned to look at him and Jeff scoffed pretending to be fine .


    Tony picked up Ken¡¯s phone which was lying by the bedside table and started scrolling through his pictures and he was wowed that Ken has the bad look face in his picture .Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    He looks like a yboy in his poses but he acted different when you meet him .


    He was still scrolling through the phone when it started ringing .


    ¡± Ken your phone ¡± he said stretching his hand out but he drew the phone back to his face at the picture above the name calling .


    If he wasn¡¯t mistaking , it isdy pretty at the mall and her name is LUCIA .


    Ken collected the phone from him wondering what was making him dazed .


    Jeff was oblivious to what was happening because he was looking in the opposite direction .


    Ken swiped the receivers button and Lucia¡¯s sweet voice popped up and Tony didn¡¯t need any one to tell her she is the one .


    That voice ;one he can never forget .


    But who was she to Ken .


    They wouldn¡¯t be dating because he wouldn¡¯t have stored her with her initials.


    Ken chuckled as he listened to Lucia talk.


    He had nned to call her today and now she was calling already .


    ¡± How is my cousin ¡± he asked and Tony¡¯s heart missed when he heard that .


    Was she married to his cousin .


    Fuck .


    Jeff watched in puzzlement wondering why his brothers facial expressions changed as the call went on .


    ¡± Ok I will try ande around at weekend, you have missed my pretty face haven¡¯t you ¡± Ken said and Jeff scoffed .


    This guy is so crazy .


    Pretty face.


    Weird for him to say that .


    ¡± Ok catch ya ¡± Ken said with a smile before tucking his phone in his pocket.


    He turned to look at tony who he noticed all attention was on the call and raised his brows wondering what is wrong.


    ¡± Uhmm who is thedy , do you have a picture of her ¡± Tony asked and Ken felt his curiosity rise to the peak.


    ¡± Yeah . Any problem ¡± he asked .


    Was it that he knew Lucia or something else.


    Because he knew he wouldn¡¯t have bedded her .


    Lucia was not the type of girl.


    ¡± Uhmm maybe that¡¯s why j need a picture to confirm that ¡± he said and Ken brought out his phone from his pocket and opened his gallery and scanned through before seeing a picture of Lucia .


    It was the one they snapped at the beach .


    ¡± Here ¡± Ken said shoving the phone to him .


    Tony looked at the picture and gasped at the reality .


    It was really her and she looked more beautiful than this pic when he saw her at the mall .


    Does it mean she keeps getting beautiful everyday .


    He scrolled to the other side and he suddenly wished he had not scrolled because the next pic was when Lucien had held her by the waist hugging her and she rested her head on his chest slightly .


    Ken chuckled as he saw the picture .


    He had been the one who coerced them to take that picture and now everyone would believe they are a real couple when they see that pic .


    ¡± Uhmm is this her husband ¡± Tony asked trying not to be suspicious to Ken .


    ¡± Soon ¡± Ken said with a smile not knowing tony was having a heartbreak already.


    Jeff read his brother¡¯s mood and gasped and they both turned to him but heughed nervously to cover it up .


    Was it that his brother liked her .


    Thedy in Ken¡¯s phone .


    She is a really beautifuldy but it was funny that his yboy brother was in love .


    How pathetic .


    Tony stared at the picture before handing the phone back to Ken .


    He picked up his keys which had been lying on the bedside drawer .


    ¡± I will be back guys ¡± he said and stormed out of the room .


    Ken exchanged a puzzled look with Jeff who just sighed .


    ¡± Do you know what¡¯s wrong with him ¡± Ken asked.


    ¡± How am I supposed to know . We are both in this room together and why do you feel he is not okay . ¡± Jeff asked with a re .


    ¡± Well you are his brother and you are supposed to be able to read him or something. He isn¡¯t looking all good like earlier. ¡± Ken said and Jeff sighed .


    ¡± Well I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong with him ¡± he said and Ken itched his head as he sat down on the bed.


    ¡± Well I think he became this moody when I answered the call and then everything became worse as soon as he saw that picture of thedy and the guy ¡± Ken said not wanting to disclose yet that the guy was his cousin .


    He doesn¡¯t understand what¡¯s going on and he can¡¯t risk endangering his brother¡¯s life  .


    ¡± Well I think thedy in the picture is my brother¡¯s problem. . it¡¯s strange because my brother hardly gets moody about ady because he is a yboy.  But seeing him get moody over her . I think he likes her ¡± Jeff blurted out and Ken gasped .


    Oh oh  ..

    The light fell on him. .


    He tucked his phone in his pocket as he found his way out .


    The light touched two more persons.


    A guy and ady and they werepleted .

 Something fishy

    Lucien excused himself to go ease himself out after the games were over .


    He was feeling a bit tipsy already and he would want to return back to his hotel room and rx before his flight back tomorrow .


    He walked to the side of the rest room and just as he was about entering he bumped into someone and the person¡¯s phone fell off his hands ..


    Lucien bent down to pick the phone apologizing in the process. Because he knows his drunken state was the cause of this .


    He picked up the phone and all traces of dizziness in his eyes wiped away immediately he saw the screen saver.


    Lucia was the one on the screen saver.


    He looked at the guy slowly wondering who he is .


    ¡± Why do you have her face as your screen saver ¡± he asked .


    Jason who was feeling tired walked out if the restroom and just then someone bumped into him .


    The person picked up the phone and he noticed the look on his face when he saw the wall paper.


    Heughed when he heard his question .


    ¡± Why are you concerned on who Is that.  Are you rted to her or something ¡± he asked and Lucien felt like leaving a blow on his face but held himself .


    ¡± I won¡¯t want to repeat myself. What¡¯s her face doing on your phone ¡± he asked and Jason chuckled.


    He was going to drop a bomb shell for him.


    ¡± Well she is my fiancee ¡°. He said and Lucien blinked his eyes.


    ¡°What do you mean she is your fiancee ¡± he asked .


    ¡± We are engaged dummy , that¡¯s what I mean and if you would excuse me.  I have to go rest for my flight tomorrow . ¡± He said and shoved him out of the road and passed .


    Lucien felt his shoulders slouch and his heart ache .


    So Lucia is already engaged and she was ying games with him or is it that she can¡¯t remember him .


    He ruffled his hair as he didn¡¯t know what to think .


    A big part of him knew Jason was lying because it just doesn¡¯t fits .


    He opened the restroom and got in to ease himself.


    Lucia has alot of exnations to give .


    Just one thing he was avoiding in a rtionship with her and now it¡¯s alling up.


    Cara bit her lips as tears left her eyes.


    She had overheard them talking and was shocked to see that he was engaged to Lucia .


    The samedy that had stolen Lucien away from her.


    What was it with her being connected with every guy she likes .


    Arrgh Lucia was really getting on her nerves .


    Jason palmed his head as he remembered the stunt he had just yed .


    He didn¡¯t even bother to know if she was married .N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    Lucia won¡¯t be happy with him on what he did if she finds out.

    ..


    Next Day .


    Cami tucked in one part shirt inside her jean trousers andbed her hair down . She was attending school today and was really excited when Dos had broken the news to her yesterday .


    The school was very nice and she knew she was going to like it there .


    Too bad that Dos won¡¯t being with her. ¡± She thought with a sad smile .


    Dos sighed as he walked close to where she stood before the mirror .


    ¡± Thinking about me again ¡± he said and kissed her neck sending shivers in she bones .


    ¡± Well I can¡¯t help it ¡± she said turning around .


    ¡± You will be fine , all you need is for you to study hard and be the best for me ¡± he said and kissed her forehead .


    ¡± Ok babe , I will ¡± she said and hugged him tightly.


    ¡± Close your eyes ¡± Dos asked and she looked at him suspiciously ..


    She closed her eyes nevertheless .


    Dos brought out the locker in his pocket and  brought out two ne in it , one with a heart shaped and the other the key , he picked the key shaped and hung it on her neck before pinning it at the back .


    Cami smiled as a cold metal touched her neck .


    Dos got her a ne .


    She opened her eyes to see a key shaped ne on her neck and she blushed.


    Dos pinned the heart shaped ne which had an opening for a key to fit it .


    Dos held her hands and ced it on his chest.


    ¡± Can you feel my heart ¡± he asked.


    ¡± It¡¯s beating , only for you. . you are the key to my heart and I hope you cherish this ne and don¡¯t lose it ¡± Dos said and Cami nodded.

    He wouldn¡¯t want to lose her because he doesn¡¯t know what be will do if he loses her.


    ¡± Ok hurry up . You don¡¯t want to bete on your first day , do you ¡± he said and Cami nodded as she picked up her bag , gave Dos a light kiss on the lips before going out.


    Dos sighed and ruffled his hair.


    He hopes everything goes well.


    He wouldn¡¯t want her falling for someone else while in school because that won¡¯t be funny to him at all .


    He would kill the person and then kill himself.


    Yes that¡¯s just how much she really means to him .

 Confused Lucia

    Cami gged down a cab and hopped in immediately .


    ¡± Royal Oak School ¡± she said and he nodded as he drove her. .


    She brought out her phone from her back and put on the Google map .


    Approximately an hour she should be in school .


    She rxed her head on the head rest as she thought about how her once carefree life became so messy .


    Was this how love felt like.


    Having to go down all the Misty roads with the person and who could have thought that her dad was the leader of a Mafia syndicate.


    How messy has her life being.


    ¡± Ma¡¯am , is there anything bothering you ¡± the driver who had taken a note of her facial expressions as she entered the car .


    Cam was shocked to see the bolt driver show concern but she doesn¡¯t think talking about her life with some random stranger would help her now .


    ¡± Thanks for your concern but I am fine ¡± she said scrolling through her social media news feed.


    The cab driver rxed not wanting to anger her by pressing further and paid his full attention back to the road.


    Cami checked out some clothes and were wowed .


    She really loved them and really would love to order some of them .


    She had almost pressed the order button when she remembered that she was no longer living off her father¡¯s ie again .


    And ordering those clothes would really eat into Dos ie.


    He had been able to get them a few clothes yesterday amongst it was the one she was wearing .


    So she has to be considerate .


    She groaned as all this things hit her.


    A part of her still wanted her perfect life while a part of her knew she was going to get a better future with Dos also .


    She stuck her mind with thetter part as she exited the social media to avoid getting more things she would love to order but unable to .


    ¡± Ma¡¯am we are here ¡± the driver said pulling over by the side of the road .


    Cami opened her shut eyes as she looked at the big building standing before her with it¡¯s magnificent gate ..


    Royal Oak School was crested boldly on the gate and a big signpost also stood by the fence .


    Cami was wowed by the choice of school Dos made for her .


    She was sure this school would cost alot of money .


    She wished Dos had just gone for a less expensive school but who was she kidding .


    Once he has his mind made up there was no one stopping him  .


    She knocked herself for forgetting that she was dying the driver .


    She gave him an apologetic smile before handing him two dor notes. .


    She came down from the car and he reversed the car as he drove away .


    He drove for a few minutes before pulling over and immediately Dos got in .


    ¡± How did she feel about the school ¡± he asked the driver .


    ¡± Well was enthralled and i think she loves the school but I also think she is still finding it hard adjusting ¡± he said and Dos sighed.


    ¡± I know but why do you think so ¡± Dos asked staring keenly at the driver.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡± Well she has this sullen look on her face. Her eyes held pains and worries also ¡± he said .


    ¡± I know she will but very soon it will be all rosy again. Just need to study her for now ¡± Dos said  .


    ¡± Ok where do I take you to now ¡± he asked.


    ¡± Home please . I really need to rest my head ¡± he said and the driver nodded and ignited the car and drove off.


    Dos can¡¯t wait to picture the surprise on Cami¡¯s face when she finds out that he had more than enough money in his different ount .


    He didn¡¯t want her to know now so she could study this life a bit  .. he wasn¡¯t testing her or doing anything of such nature.


    He was just teaching her and he hopes she understand when the timees .


    ¡­


    Lucien got into the limousine waiting for him as soon as hended .


    He already booked a cab for Cara .


    He would have asked her to ride with him if she hasn¡¯t done something so stupid and petty and right now he doesn¡¯t need anyone to annoy him because he would kill such a person .


    He was feeling really angry right now and he was trying so hard to control it .


    He hopes Lucia was at work because he wouldn¡¯t want to see her now , maybe when he wasposed but not now.  .


    The limousine moved slowly which was typical for a limo.


    Lucien brought out his phone from his pocket and switched it off from airne mode.


    He put in his connection and messages started flowing in.


    He scoffed when he saw Lucia¡¯s message .


    CAN¡¯T WAIT TO SEE YOU .


    LUCIA ..


    She is engaged for goodness sake and why was she ying with his feelings .


    He felt his heart ache.


    This was one thing he has been avoiding and now he still found himself in it .


    Despite all the thick wall he built around himself , it still copsed.


    The limo drove into thepound and pulled over by the garage and Lucien came down leaving the driver to get his bag .


    He walked in and the sweet aroma of good food weed him .


    His stomach rumbled at the invite .


    Immediately Lucia walked out if the kitchen looking so hot in a bumshort and singlet . Lucien took in everything as he stared at her , she wasn¡¯t even wearing her brazziers .


    He felt his cock harden but something snapped in his head immediately .


    She was engaged and his once calm face was reced with a cold one .


    He looked at her with fire in his eyes before walking past .


    Lucia was confused as to what just happened .


    She couldn¡¯t pin a perfect exnation to it so she just turned around and sunk herself in the sofa .

    Lucia had woken up with happiness as she remembered that Lucien would being home today .


    She quickly brushed her teeth and took a quick but clean and thorough bath before picking out a singlet and bumshort to put on .


    She sprayed one of the perfume on Lucien¡¯s table and she was impressed by the scent .


    She then went into the kitchen and started preparing tomato sauce and some sweet potatoes and then she heard the limo pull up in the house.


    She had been happy and decided to wait for him to get in .


    She was impressed by the way her eyes roamed her body and just as she was about jumping on him , he had a cold look on and she shivered as he red at her before walking away.


    Lucia pped her face to be sure she wasn¡¯t dreaming.  ..


    Why had he given her that cold treatment.


    Perhaps it was a prank .


    Yes it was a prank .


    She said as she felt a new wave of energy burst through her veins.


    She ran up the stairs and knocked gently when she got to Lucia¡¯s door. ¡­N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    She knocked again but no response.


    She was about knocking onest time and Lucien came out making her almost lose her bnce. .


    She looked up to stare at his face and it was still there .


    That cold look , he still had it on and those fire in his eyes  .


    They were still there .


    She couldn¡¯t hold it back anymore as she broke down in tears .


    Lucien felt his heart soften as the tears came down .


    He couldn¡¯t help it as he drew her closer to himself.


    Lucia felt calm as his arms wrapped around her.


    She hugged him tighter  .


    Lucien loosened his grip around her and stared at her face .


    ¡± Are you engaged to anyone Lucia ¡± Lucien asked    and Lucia looked at him in awe .


    ¡± I am not . Did you find anyone who says that I am engaged ¡± she asked thinking maybe he might have a knowledge of her lost memory .


    ¡± Yes someone said you are engaged   . A guy had you in his screensaver . Lucia I was heartbroken , I felt my heart break when he mentioned that you are engaged to him.  ¡± Lucien said and he felt some liquid on his cheeks.


    He just teared up in front of ady .


    ¡± Lucien I don¡¯t understand. You are tearing up . Who said so , can I have a glimpse of the person¡¯s picture probably if you have ¡± she said using her hands to wipe off the tears .


    Lucien sighed as he brought out the phone from his pocket and searched for his name.


    Jason the CEO of  Js interiorpany ..


    The picture popped up immediately and lucien felt his anger brewed just by looking at his picture.


    ¡± Here that¡¯s the person¡± Lucien said handing the phone to her.


    Lucia gasped as she saw the picture .


    ¡± You know him right , you are engaged to him right. You don¡¯t have to be sorry.  I perfectly understand and I hold no grudges against you . ¡± Lucia rapped and turned around to go inside and Lucia rolled her eyes and held him back .


    ¡± I know him YES but I am not engaged to him . For Pete¡¯s sake that¡¯s my ex boss . The one that asked me for that ridiculous request ¡± she said and immediately the pieces came fitting together in Lucien¡¯s head .


    He then remembered he had overheard him and Cara talking earlier at the first day of the ball .


    Damn he had been so gullible .


    He looked at Lucia and tried holding her but she shunned him with her hand .


    ¡± So this was the reason for the cold attitude right ? This was the reason I became invisible to you ? This was the easy way you could think of right ?? Giving me the cold shoulder, knowing it would break my heart  .¡± Lucia said with a sad smile as she remembered all that she had prepared waiting for Lucien toe home and she had invisible to him upon his arrival .


    ¡± Lucia I am sorry , I didn¡¯t mean it . I just couldn¡¯t think of losing you and immediately he said those words , I couldn¡¯t help but go irrational at the moment. I so much love you Lucia and I can¡¯t even think of losing you .¡± He said and Lucia shook her head .


    ¡± You have to trust me if you want this to work ,,,


    She paused immediately andughed ¡­


    ¡°Who the hell am I kidding .. We are not even a thing ¡± she said and turned  and started walking to her room .


    She made a fool of herself again and she was just going to stop loving him till she regains her memories and get out of his house .


    Lucien felt weak as he watched her leave.


    He was really mad at himself for not trusting her and also not hearing from her own voice .


    Lucia entered her room and picked up her phone.


    She dialled Jason¡¯s number and he picked up at immediately .


    Lucia stabilize her voice as she talked .


    ¡± Hey Jason ¡± she said and Jason felt butterflies grow in his belly as she talked .


    ¡± Hey Lucia . How are you doing . Is everything okay ¡± he asked.


    ¡°. Yeah everything is fine . Are you up for an outing tonight ¡± she asked and Jason pulled the phone from his ear before looking at it again ..


    ¡± Yes I would be most delighted to go on an outing with you ¡± he said and Lucia smirked.


    ¡± Ok thanks foring through .. I will text you the address now ¡± she said and hung up.


    She was really going to give him a piece of her mind for pulling such stunt and cut all ties with them .

 Weird order

    Jason paced around the room as he got home from his flight and hoped Lucia doesn¡¯t get mad at him from pulling such stunt .


    He was still deep in thought when his phone rang .


    He felt his heart thump as he checked the caller .


    It was Lucia . Has she found out .


    Was she mad at him .


    He picked up the call with shaky hands and was relieved by the way she answered the call .


    Meaning she was not angry.


    ¡± Hello Lucia ¡± he muttered and she had replied him perfectly well.  .


    She then asked him for a hang out which had shocked Jason.


    Was it that she wanted to tell him she likes him .


    Although he was very tired , he agreed to the idea that she suggested.


    That they should hangout .


    It wouldn¡¯t be bad having a few sses of drinks with her.


    He quickly brushed his hair and arranged the button of the shirt he was wearing .


    He picked up his car key as he checked his phone for the direction of the ce they were to meet .


    It was a bar uptown and it wasn¡¯t far away from the house where he was staying .


    He got into his car , floored the gas pedal and drove out of thepound .


    He took the direction the Google map led him and was soon there in less than thirty minutes and Lucia wasn¡¯t yet there .


    So he picked a seat by the side of the window where they would be able to get a nice view . .


    ..


    Lucia picked out a blue denim ripped jeans and a tank top to match it up and picked her phone .


    She let her hair fall and it shielded her hurting face a bit .


    She came out of the house and smiled at the GLK .


    Guess I have to make use of you for thest time today . Well our friendship didn¡¯tst long but I cherished it . I trust you , I know you would always seek my voice before concluding on anything . Right?? ¡± She said tears rolling down her face .


    She quickly got into the car and ignited it before driving out of thepound hoping Lucien doesn¡¯t look for where she is .


    She was  vibing to the heartbreaking songsing out the car¡¯s stereo.


    They were all made for her and they were perfectly her mood .


    Lucia didn¡¯t care about anything going on around her.


    All she wished to do was go meet Jason at the venue , give him a piece of her mind , turn back home and bury herself in her bed in tears. .


    .


    Just as if time and nature were with her , she got there and saw Jason¡¯s car already there.


    The one she used to go help him woo ady.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    Failed attempt.


    She saidughing .


    She walked inside and saw him where he was seated by the window with a tensed look on his face as he eye scanned the ce probably in search of her.


    He noticed the rxed smile that crept on his face as his gaze fell upon her.


    Lucia marked her hidden pains with a smug smile as she walked closer to him .


    Jason smiled warmly as he stood up to draw out a seat for Lucia .


    ¡± Thanks , you didn¡¯t have to ¡± she said sitting down calmly .


    ¡± It¡¯s fine , that¡¯s what a gentle man should do right. ¡± He asked and Lucia nodded keeping her face nk and an intense gaze on him.


    Jason shifted on his seat in difort at Lucia¡¯s intense gaze on him .


    He couldn¡¯t read her and his instinct told him that she wasn¡¯t having this dinner with him because of fun or anything but something else and that something else is what he hasn¡¯t been able to ce .


    ¡± What would you like to have ¡± he asked breaking the deepening silence that was eating up  .


    ¡± Your heart ¡± she said with a menacing smile and Jason was taken aback.


    ¡± You could top it with your brain , and your liver , your kidneys and any other vital organ I can find in your body .¡± Lucia said and if Jason was scared now , he did a good job in masking it.


    He coughed nervously .


    ¡± I don¡¯t understand ¡± he asked and Lucia chuckled .


    ¡± Got you ¡± she said andughed  , a not so sincereugh .


    ¡± Huh ¡±


    ¡± Yes I was . Well I would love an alcoholic wine ¡± she said and smiled at him .


    ¡± Ok then I¡¯ll get your order ¡± Jason said shing her a smile , a nervous one.


    ¡± Silly ¡± Lucia thought as she watched him leave .


    Well this night would be a long one for the both of them and he would learn not to mess with her and as for Lucien too hell with him .


    He has broken her enough and she wasn¡¯t going to continue being his weakling .


    She wasn¡¯t the first person to lose her memories and she should not act like a toy because of that .


    Seems that everyone around her were bent in messing with her except Thelma and Quinn who are unfortunately not close now ..


    .


    Jason had a pensive look when Lucia wasn¡¯t forting .


    Was she just ying games with him or what .


    He eye scanned the environment and his countenance rxed seeing her walking in looking beautiful in her ripped jeans and crop top although the aura around her to him spoke danger .


    She wasn¡¯t wearing any of her contagious smile rather her face was just wearing a smile that didn¡¯t reach the eyes ..


    And then what the hell were those things  she ordered when he asked her what she wanted .


    All this things summed up that something was definitely wrong with her .


    His mind wasn¡¯tposed as he thought of what was really wrong with her as he ordered the alcoholic drinks she requested .

    Quinn busied herself in the kitchen when she suddenly remembered the date she had gone out with Damon .. it was an intriguing date which she had relished .


    sh back


    ¡± Do you know what I always think about for the future ¡± Damon asked after a brief minutes of silence .


    ¡± No ¡± Quinn answered .


    ¡± Well I see my future going all good . I be a medical doctor , I make my grandparents happy . I build up more wealth and then get married to you ¡± he said and Quinn¡¯s eyes teared up  as he said those things .


    So she is part of his future .N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    Yes she wants to be a part of his future and he really thinks of her also .


    ¡± Thanks Damon and I hope all your future dreamse to pass especially being your wife ¡± Quinn said and her face heated up .


    ¡± Yeah you are my wife and you are going to give me four kids ¡± Damon said and Quinn yelled .


    ¡± Four kids , that¡¯s too much babe ¡± Quinn said and Damonughed .


    ¡± Ok how many do you want ¡± he asked .


    ¡± I just need two , a boy and a girl and they would be twin because I can¡¯t  be in thebour room two times  .


    Damonughed andughed until he ran out ohughing gas .


    ¡± You are so funny Quinn .¡± He said stillughing .


    ¡± Fine why don¡¯t you get pregnant and then you can give birth to two who I would take care of so them you can then give birth to another two for yourself. ¡± Damon said and Quinnughed at his cunningness .


    ¡± Are you the one carrying them Mr Damon and besides do you want to divide my family at an early stage ¡± she said and Damon chuckled the way she was already possessing the family to herself .


    Wasn¡¯t it his family also .


    ¡± Fine you can do what you want . Two kids it is but before then maybe my darling might have changed her mind ¡± Damon said and Quinn rolled her eyes .


    ¡± You wish ¡± she said and theyughed .


    Damon stared at her lips and before she could reply , he mmed his lips on hers .


    Damon slid his hand into the corner of her ck gown and traced his hand on her nipples making her gasp lightly .


    They both were too filled with emotions waiting to be unleashed that they cared less about the environment they were in and continued with the business they were ongoing .


    Quinn blushed as she remembered the event that day and continued with the cabbage she was chopping .


    After that date , it was as if the love they had for each other grew more and more .


    Quinn hurried up with what she was doing because she really need to study .


    Their exams would soone up by next week and she would not like to fail .


    After the exams she can then travel down to California for Derrick and Thelma¡¯s wedding and spend a few days with her brother before returning .


    She knew she would really miss Damon and the feeling would also be the same for him .


    So she wasn¡¯t going to stay long there just like she always does when ever she goes there but now she got a life to live .


    She chuckled at what she called life .


    Well things do change or don¡¯t they .


    Mrs Spencer shook her head as she watched Quinn swim in her own thought.


    She had not even heard her open the door and now she was standing beside her and she was still unaware .


    This is really crazy ¡± she thought .


    Is this how the love is ?? .


    She coughed slightly and Quinn turned  immediately in surprise and smiled at her mother who shook her head .


    ¡± Are you done with the things I need for the sd .¡± She asked and Quinn nodded cutting the final bit of cabbage in the tray .


    ¡± Yes Mom ¡± she said and rinsed her hands under the sink of flowing water . .


    ¡± I have to hurry up mum. . I have to study ¡± she said and kissed her mom¡¯s cheek before running upstairs .


    Her mom shook her head as she watched Quinn leave.


    She remembered when Quinn was still a baby and would cry at the slightest provocation but just look at her now , all big and matured and she was even falling in love.


    Changes are really fast as they say. .


    She remembered Lucien ,


    It¡¯s been a while she heard from him .


    Lucien was always keen on being on his own . She wondered if he had a love life now because he hardly had time for his love life .


    Either he was modelling , Running thepany or doing other stuffs and such he hardly had time for himself .


    She made a mental note to call him tomorrow .


    She doesn¡¯t want to miss out in her children¡¯s life not now.


    She also made it a mental note to also call Derrick tomorrow to ask about his marriage ns .


    There were alot of things that she needs to do tomorrow . .


    She brought out  the frozen chicken and ced it into the heater to defrost .


    She wants to prepare rice and tomato stew sauce with chicken and also sd .


    ..


    ¡± Here is the drink you requested for ¡± Jason said dropping it on the table for her .


    ¡± Thanks ¡± she said and opened the drunk gulping it down ignoring the ss cup that was there for the drink .


    Jason was taken aback but her wild nature as she gulped down the wine inrge quantities .


    ¡± Lucia are you okay ¡± he asked .


    ¡± Do I look okay ¡± sh said with a dangerous re .


    T B C


    Ok let¡¯s see what Lucia is up to now .


    I feel her pains .

 Goosebumps

    Lucien checked his time and Lucia wasn¡¯ting or showing any signs of arrival .


    From his tracking device on theptop , the car was at a stationery position and that means she wasn¡¯t in it neither was she driving it .


    He paced around the living room as his eyes fell on the couch .


    His mind flew back in time on the first day he brought her home .


    sh back ¡­ 1


    ¡± Ok and you do have a nice couch ¡± Lucia said using her hands to feel the couch .


    ¡± Thank you and stop being a talkative ¡± he had  said tired already of her .


    ¡± I am not a talkative ¡± Lucia snapped .


    ¡± Yes you are ¡± Lucien replied back .


    ¡± I am not


    ¡± You are .


    Lucien smiled sadly as he remembered that day.  He was already regretting bringing her to his home that day and then the other day .


    shback 2. .


    ¡°So I want to say thank you for saving my life and giving me such a beautiful name ¡± Lucia said blocking Lucien on the stairs as he prepared to go to work .


    ¡± That¡¯s not needed Lucia , all that is needed is for you to regain your memories so you can go back to where you belong and where you are wanted ¡± he said and walked of leaving her .


    Lucien bit his lips as he remembered he had told her she was unwanted that day , everything he did were slowly wiped out but now the pains he was feeling had brought them back fresh into his memories .


    Then he remembered when he had ran home to check on her due to the impromptu call of Thelma . And he had ended up making her tear up


    shback 3


    ¡± I am sorry , I didn¡¯t mean to disturb you , I didn¡¯t know Thelma would call you ¡± Lucia said on the verge of tearing up .


    ¡± You are sorry , what would sorry do in this situation , sorry that you made me miss my office appointments ¡± Lucien snapped .


    ¡± I just felt my head go heavy with the numerous questions your sister asked and I slipped into unconciousness¡± Lucia said softly and Lucien ruffled his hair .


    ¡­


    Lucien plopped his self on the sofa as he felt his heart tear up .


    He felt like a greater part of him was missing .


    A greater percentage of his happiness was gone .


    A greater percentage of his smiles .


    Then the first time they had sex


    ¡± I am sorry ¡± he said and hugged her closer to himself and Lucia just sniffed .


    ¡± I know you are saying all these because of the bet ¡± she mumbled with a small smile .


    ¡± Give me another chance , this is not a bet , another chance to make it up to you , to show you that I can take care of your heart ¡± Lucien assured and Lucia¡¯s eyes widened .


    ¡± Are you serious ¡± she said running her hands on his  face and Lucien held it to his face .


    ¡± Yes I am . I am forgetting my fears and taking this step to see what it would hold ¨C


    Lucia couldn¡¯t wait for him to finish talking before smashing her lips on his .


    He  smiled as he held her firm and kissed her roughly .


    ..


    Lucien stood up and checked the tracker again and saw that the car was still stationery so he decided to go look for her .


    What if she had hurt herself .


    He wouldn¡¯t be able to bear it or forgive himself if anything happens to her.


    After all he saved her and now he is in love with her .


    He went upstairs and picked up his jacket and swung it over his shoulder as he ran down the stairs .


    He locked the door firmly before walking over to his garage where he picked his sports car , he needed it because it was one hell of a fast car and would aid him to move faster and get there on time incase there was any emergency .


    He reversed and pressed the remote button and the gate opened and he drove out of thepound and the gate closed up immediately .

    ¡± How dare you , and why would you think of something that expensive . ¡± Lucia said as she hit the bottle on the table and the table shook making Jason flinch .


    ¡± What are you talking about ¡± he asked gently .


    ¡± When did we get engaged . When did we ever . Or did your working terms make me get engaged to you also . ¡±  She said the influence of alcohol on her .


    And that was her n . She wanted to be high in alcohol because she wouldn¡¯t be able to pour our her mind the way she wants without alcohol.


    ¡± I am so sorry Lucia.  I didn¡¯t mean ..


    ¡± Mean to what ¡± she shouted at him and he flinched .


    Jason could see the hurt in her eyes and all he  wanted to do was rewind the time and delete those words .


    ¡± I didn¡¯t mean to get you hurt Lucia. Believe me ¡± he said bringing out his hand to hold her.


    ¡± If you as muchy your filthy hands on me , I will kill you and won¡¯t care if I get arrested . ¡± Lucia said with a smirk . And Jason retrieved his hands immediately .


    Every intention to hold her wiped away as he stared at the dangerous look on her face .


    ¡± You ruined the rtionship I cherished , you made me lose him all because of your silly attitude ¡± she said with a sober look on and Jason bowed down his head as regrets washed his face .


    ¡± I am sorry ¡± he said and stood up to hold her ..


    ¡± If you as much asy your filthy  hands on her I will kill you ¡± he heard someone say and all eyes turned to the direction of the voice except Lucia who can detect that voice any day and any time .

    Lucien followed the direction of the tracker making sure the throttle was in full motion .


    The direction was leading him to a bar .


    Lucia was in a bar ??


    Oh this was no good


    He hastened the car as he drove faster to get there on time incase she was in danger .


    Road users cussed at him as he drove past them with full speed but that was not his business now because they don¡¯t know he is the CEO which they adore if not they won¡¯t be saying those words . .


    He drove closer to the bar atleast that is what his tracker said and finally he was there .


    He drove into the parking spot and parked at the back of the GLK Lucia has brought there .


    He came down immediately making sure the car security were in check and walked inside the bar .


    He eye scanned the bar taking everyone in and searching for Lucia anywhere .


    ¡± Hey handsome ¡± a call girl came swaying her hips and licking her lips .


    One re from Lucien was enough to scare her off as the next minute she wasn¡¯t by his side anymore .


    His eyes spotted at ady¡¯s frame at the end of the bar close to the window.


    Thedy was backing him and was talking to a guy and from the looks of things , they were not having a funny conversation at all .C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    Thedy¡¯s features from behind spelled Lucia but how can he be so sure .


    He decided to then walk closer to confirm .


    He walked closer and it was truly Lucia and the mother fucker who had caused this riff in their rtionship was the one she was talking to .


    He stood up and Lucien observed what he was trying to do .


    He was trying to put his hands on her .


    He had to step into the matter because from the look of things Lucia was heavily drunk .


    ¡± If you as much asy your filthy hands on her . I will kill you ¡± he said and he could feel everyone¡¯s gaze on him except Lucia who probably already decipher his voice .


    ¡± You again.  ¡± Jason said feeling anger brew inside him but he knew this was why he acted silly the other day and now he was having an issue with her .


    If he had just taken things slowly and wo her heart the right way after all they were not married yet .


    ¡± Yes me again and why are you still existing you mother fucker ¡± Lucien said walking closer .


    Lucia just remained calm and continued gulping down her drink .


    ¡± Lucia that¡¯s enough ¡± Lucien said as he watched her consume more quantities of the alcohol .


    Lucia turned and red at him and Lucien flinched .


    He haven¡¯t see that cold look from Lucia and it felt it was a different Lucia seated .


    Lucia faced her attention back to the drink as she consumed more of it .


    ¡± You are such a fool , for making her be like this . You couldn¡¯t even listen to her before jumping into conclusions . Is that how you love because if that¡¯s how you love then you are so far from love and ..


    Jason had not finished talking when Lucien gave him a punch on his stomach .


    Jason who was not expecting it staggered as he tried to bnce himself .


    He charged at Lucien and held him by the shirt and punched his lips and Lucien gave him a kick which sent him flying backwards as he collided with the wall and spat out blood .


    Lucien used his thumb to clean up his bleeding lips which had been burst when Jason hit him .


    ¡± Lucia I am sorry . We can still walk this out.  This is not how this should end . We shouldn¡¯t allow hime in between us . I know I act like a jerk ..


    ¡± You are a jerk ¡± Lucia said cutting him off as sheughed hysterically .


    ¡± Ok i am a jerk but pleasee with me let¡¯s go home together . ¡± He begged.


    ¡± You once told me I am unwanted . You once made me feel like a burden but during those times , what did my heart do . It kept on loving you. Yes it did , it continued beating for you . I willed it to stop , to stop falling for you , to stop caring for you , but it won¡¯t.  Then you yed my heart twice and I just couldn¡¯t stop loving you but now this is the height of it . I hope you don¡¯t pester me for as long as I stay in your house and hopefully I regain my memories soon and leave the house . But if I don¡¯t then when I get paid , I would get my own apartment and start my life and forget about my past . ¡± She said in tears and Lucia sweared at herself for tearing up .


    It hurts a lot.


    ¡± Sometimes I ask myself why did you save me ¡± she said and got up but she felt her head spin and she held the chair to rx.


    ¡± Lucia you are drunk and you can drive in this state . I will drive you ¡± Lucien said going to her .


    ¡± Mr Spencer , I am not oblivious to my surroundings and I know my way home so if you can just let me be . Leave me the heck alone ¡± she snapped as she walked out of the bar moving in a zig zag motion  holding the bottle of unfinished wine in her hand and holding the key of the car in the other ..


    Lucien turned to re at Jason who had seeded in getting up from the floor and red at him .


    ¡± This is not the end . If I don¡¯t get her to forgive me , consider yourself gone  . Don¡¯t forget mypany is still higher than you ¡± Lucien said and walked out on him.


    He got outside and saw Lucia already driving out and he quickly got inside his car as he followed her slowly .


    He was going to follow her  because he knows she wasn¡¯t in the right state of mind to drive and this is such a big risk she was taking .


    Was she this hurt ¡± he thought as he ruffled his hair .

    Lucia noticed a sport car following her at her trail and she needed no magician to tell her it was Lucien.


    He was acting all nice for her to forgive him so he could break her heart again.  .


    .


    She stared around and when her eyes fell on the blue eyes looking at her , she muttered


    ¡°MY SAVIOUR ..¡±she said and looked at Lucien .


    ¡°How do you know am your saviour, I thought you had amnesia and you were unconscious that night ¡°Lucien said


    ¡± I can¡¯t remember anything , believe me , who are you . Are you my friend ¡± she asked looking at Lucien again .


    Luciaughed hysterically as she remembered that day .


    She had even called him her Saviour .


    How pathetic of her .


    Why do you hate me , I thought we are friends ¡± Lucia said sitting on the bed and sobbing .


    ¡± I don¡¯t hate you neither do I love you , I just want you to know that I don¡¯t know you , I don¡¯t know your name either . I saw you unconcious by the side of the road and j decided to help you not knowing you won¡¯t realize your self when you wake up .¡± Lucien exined .


    ¡°You mean you don¡¯t know me at all , I am a stranger , even Derick is a stranger ¡± Lucia said in tears and Lucien nodded .


    ¡± I don¡¯t want you to be a cry baby or something . I just want you to brace yourself up and try to get your memories faster so you can go back to your family . ¡± Lucien said and took a long look at Lucia.  .


    ¡­.


    Lucia sighed as she thought about why she fell so deep in love with Lucien despite all these his attitudes at the onset.


    Was it because of his blue eyes ?? Was it because of the connection and peace she always felt around him although he always gave  her a hard time  .


    She consumed more of the wine as the alcohol was really taking a toll on her .


    She was hardly seeing where she was going to and that was why she was driving slowly.


    Her hands moved around the steering as the car moved in a straight forward motion because she wasn¡¯t in a nice state at all .


    She felt a feeling in her tummy as she opened the door of the car slightly and poured everything in her belly out and on the road .


    She closed the door again and noticed her eyes were shutting down and everywhere turning nk .


    She quickly stepped on the brake pads and switched of the car as her head rested on the steering wheel and she slept off .


    . .


    Lucien followed her in a slow pace which was something that be needed patience for because the sports car wasn¡¯t a car for slow movements .


    He followed her gently because he knew why she was going slowly was because of the alcohol in her eyes .


    Because no sane human would drive at this speed , she was way beyond normal speed. .  .


    He noticed she slowed down the car and the door of the car opened slightly as he watched her throw up on the road .


    If it was someone else , he would think it gross , but seeing Lucia doing it  , he felt sorry for her because she took a lot of alcohol for her to puke out a lot of vomit like that .


    She closed the door after finishing her business and the car moved a bit and immediately the car came to a halt .


    What could have happened.


    Did she fall asleep in the car .


    Lucien without wasting much time got down from the car and ran towards the car and found her sleeping on the steering wheel .


    He saw one of her feet resting on the brake pedal and the other hand on the key which she used to turn off the car.


    Lucien wowed at how smart she had been .


    If he hadn¡¯t been following her , she would not have gotten an ident but would be a prey to the bad ones in the neighborhood . .


    He helped her out of the car gently as she vomited more on the floor and the whole ce smelled badly .


    Lucien will have to pay the security to clean up this ce and also bring the car home.


    He helped her out and carried her in his arms .


    Lucia turned slightly .


    ¡± I love him. I hate to say it but I still love . Why can¡¯t my heart just stop loving him ¡± she said poking her chest as she sleep talked .


    Lucien felt happy to know that she still loves him and that would be a good sign and something to hold onto .


    ¡± He still loves you . He might have been a jerk but he loves you . He is also hurting by being irrational to you ¡± Lucien said trying hard to twist his voice .


    ¡± You think so ¡± Lucia asked oblivious that it was Lucien. .


    ¡± Yes , just give him another chance ¡± he said and she stirred a bit in his arms and he sighed disaappointedly that she had fallen asleep because he really want to know if she agreed to his idea of giving him a chance  but she chose that time to fall asleep .


    Faith can be so cruel. .


    He opened the back seat of the sports car and dropped her gently in it .


    He got into the front seat as he drove off immediately .


    T B C .


    To be drunk is really crazy .


    We are about getting to more juicy parts of the story.


    I hope you are as excited as I am .

 Forgive me

    Tony picked up his keys after he had taken the sixth ss of alcohol and gave a tip to the waiter standing close to him .


    Despite the alcohol  in his eyes , he still felt stable a bit and could drive himself home .


    He hade to wash off the images of the prettydy in his head but it was not working as it seemed that the images became more clearer than before.


    He got out of the bar ignoring the calls from thedies there who were surprised to see hime into the bar , drink and leave without gettingid by any of thedies there , the popr yboy boy and cassanova .


    He got into his Lexus as he drove out of the bar with no ce in mind .Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    His house won¡¯t give him the rxation he needed now because his friends were there and going back to Jeff¡¯s room would only make them bug him about what was eating him up and he wasn¡¯t prepared to say anything and Jeffhad been calling him since but he had ignored all of them and even sent some to voicemail.


    He raked his head thinking of other possible ces to go to .


    ..


    Ken paced around the room as Jeff tried his number again .


    They were not calling for him toe back here but just to find out he is okay and he is at home but he wasn¡¯t picking any of his calls and Jeff was in a very bad state of mind now.


    The phone buzzed again signifying that he didn¡¯t pick up again .


    ¡± Where could he be ¡± Ken said biting his lips .


    ¡± I don¡¯t know , I really don¡¯t know . How will I eveb find him . I wish I had a car now ¡±  Jeff said and he paused and looked at Ken .


    ¡± Wait I just thought of it . What if he was intentionally ignoring my call ¡± Jeff said .


    ¡± Why would he do that ¡± Ken asked not getting him .


    ¡± Well he doesn¡¯t want me to bug him ¡± Jeff said and Ken raised his eyebrow .


    Jeff shook his head as Ken was still not getting him.


    ¡± What do we have to do now ¡± Ken asked.


    ¡± Kill you for not being so smart ¡± Jeff said with an eyeroll .


    ¡± But I was still smart to beat you at the arcade . Smart guy ¡± Ken said with a smirk and Jeff red at him.


    ¡± So would you tell him what is the n now ¡± Ken said and Jeff shook his head .


    ¡± There is no n dummy , I need just your phone , I need to call him with your phone. ¡± He said and Ken mouthed and ¡± ok ¡± feeling slightly  embarrassed that he hadn¡¯t understood earlier .


    ¡± Ok here is it ¡± he said bringing out his phone from his pocket , unlocking it and handing it to Jeff .


    Jeff typed in his  brother¡¯s number and just as he was about dialing the number they heard a knock on the door and fear gripped them a bit .


    ¡± Could it be him ¡± Jeff asked .


    ¡± We can only know if we opened the door .¡± Ken said looking at Jeff as if giving him a sign that he should be the one to go .


    ¡± Jeffe open this door now ¡± they heard from outside and Jeff ran to the door immediately on hearing Tony¡¯s voice.


    He opened the door and Tony came in looking all worn out and disheveled.


    ¡± Where have you been ¡± Jeff asked him while Ken helped him walk to the bed because he was already at the verge of falling down .


    Tony remained mute and as soon as his butt touched the bed he fell down on it and slept off ..


    He knew this would make Jeff and Ken not to bug him tonight.


    By tomorrow he would think of an answer to give them because he would be in a better state than this .


    Jeff sighed as he saw Tony had fallen asleep .


    Ken bent down and pulled out the shoe he was putting on while Jeff loosened up his shirt button .


    Ken dropped the shoes at the extreme of the room and took of his trousers leaving him in only his briefs .


    Jeff went to the other side of the bed and studied his brother¡¯s face .


    It was looking all nk to him and from the way his forehead creased he knew he had taken a lot of alcohol and who was he kidding his breath says it all.


    Ken on the other hand couldn¡¯t feel less guilty that he had made him drink .


    How was he to know that he knew Lucia and also had a liking for her.


    His mind beat heavily as he thought of the possibility that Tony might want to use him in getting Lucia and that was one ridiculous task he wouldn¡¯t dare do .


    ¡± Snap out of your thoughts ande rx , we have sses tomorrow if I should remember you ¡± Jeff said after observing he was still standing at a particr spot lost in thought.


    Ken sluggishly walked towards the bed and lie down .

    Morning.


    Lucia felt her head bang as she turned around the bed.


    She held her head in pains  as she couldn¡¯t even get up .


    Was the alcohol much that she had taken .


    She was still having a hard time getting up when the door opened and Lucien walked inside .


    She hissed as she saw him holding a ss of water in one of his hands and some pills and in the other hand a bowl of hang over soup.


    ¡± Good morning Lucia ¡± he said gently and  dropped the soup on the bedside table .


    ¡± I brought you some hangover pills and soup .  ¡± He said and Lucia groaned as the pain hit her hard .


    ¡± Lucien I will appreciate if you give me my space and stop popping your face to me because it sickens me and as for your hangover pills and soup , I don¡¯t need them so please take them as you exit this room.¡± She said and Lucien felt his heart cut as she said those words.


    Was that how much she hated her now ..


    He dropped the pills by the side of the bed where the soup was and left the room .


    This forgiveness would really be a tough one to get .


    T B C .


    Hmm .

 She left .

    Lucia felt her heart tear and her eyes tear up as he left the room .


    Her heart wasn¡¯t willing to stop loving him no matter how hard she tries . .


    She just find herself falling more deeply for him .


    She sighed as she took a look at the soup and the hangover pills he had brought .


    She felt the wave of headache hit her again and she quickly took the pills and flushed it down her mouth with water .


    How silly of her to think she won¡¯t need the pills .


    She sighed when a thought came to her mind  .


    She has to leave the house , because staying close to Lucien would kill her the more and as for Jason , she felt like strangling him to death .


    She rxed her head on the bed rest again as she sobbed the more.


    Why was her life so unlucky,?


    Why did the she have to lose her memories?


    Why has no one looked for her ?


    Was she this useless.

    Cami walked into the school carefree as usual .


    It was her third day already and she found the school exciting.


    Everyday she goes home to tell Dos everything about the new school and he was such a cutie for always paying attention to her talks.


    She felt a hand on her shoulder and she turned immediately to meet Jay .


    Jay has been the only friend she has gotten.


    Well she just got in .


    Not like she was used to having friends before.


    ¡°Hi Jay¡± she said shifting away from his hands stylishly.


    ¡°Come on Cam, your boyfriend is not here and besides, I am your friend you know ¡± Jay said understanding her movement.


    ¡± Can you stop calling me Cam please. Jay try to understand me . You are my friend but don¡¯t touch me ¡± she said with a pout and Jay chuckled.


    ¡± Fine I won¡¯t¡± he said raising up his hands in surrender.


    ¡± Let¡¯s walk to ss then ¡± Cami said and Jay smiled as they walked together.

    Lucien fell on the  ground as bottles, cans of alcohol surrounded him as he felt his heart ache .


    Why was he chasing away the one who loves him genuinely  .


    Was he cursed or something?


    Why did he have to hurt the one who chose to love him ?


    He felt his eyes closing up and as much as he wanted to remain woke , he couldn¡¯t fight nature and he fell asleep sooner than expected.


    Next Day..


    Lucien rubbed his eyes as he felt the morning rays hit him from the little opening on the windows blind.


    He had a scrunched up nose as he perceived the odouring out from his mouth and inside his room.


    It was not appealing at all.


    He quickly jerked up as he felt his stomach turn  .


    He was about throwing up .C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    He ran into his toilet as he vomited almost his whole digestive system out.


    He picked up his brush and brushed his teeth as fast as he could so he could go check up on Lucia ..


    Lucien finished brushing and walked slowly, dragging his legs to Lucia¡¯s room .


    He hopes that she had forgiven him already but who was he kidding .


    He had done something really bad and he knew he had to earn her forgiveness .


    This time it won¡¯te easy .


    He knocked on the door gently but no sound was heard .


    He pushed the door open a little.


    ¡°Lucia ¡± he called but there was no trace of her.


    He entered into the room fully as his eyes scanned the orderliness of the room .


    Not like he was calling her untidy but he knew that someone was missing here .


    It looked like where no one had been today .


    He walked towards the wardrobe on a second thought and when he opened it , his heart flew.


    Majority of the clothes were gone and that means Lucia left .


    He felt his knees go down as his heart gave a twist.


    He had lost her to his foolishness.


    His heart bled as he cursed himself and not knowing what to do , heid on the ground and felt the tears roll down his eyes .

    Thelma heard the door ring and paused the movie she was watching and walked to the door.


    She was just feeling like watching TV throughout the whole day and Derick had told her to go ahead .


    She wasn¡¯t working anyway .


    Her eyes widened as she opened the door to meet a disheveled Lucia .


    Her hair was in a mess and she was wearing a colour block ( unrhymed colours).


    ¡± Can Ie in¡± she heard her whisper and immediately she got back to the reality .


    ¡± Yes you can . What¡¯s wrong Lucia ¡± she couldn¡¯t help but ask as Lucia pulled the bug box in with her and Thelma¡¯s eyes widened the more as she had not seen the box earlier .


    Lucia plopped herself on the couch not ready for Thelma¡¯s questioning now.


    Thelma rushed into the kitchen and got a ss of water for her but before she got back , Lucia had fallen asleep on the couch .


    Just immediately Derick climbed down the stairs and he had a puzzled look on as he saw Lucia on the couch looking pitiful.


    ¡°Oh babe thank God, you are here. Can you help me carry her to the guest room . And I don¡¯t have any exnation now . I am as puzzled as you are. ¡± Thelma exined and Derick nodded as he raised her up to his shoulder while Thelma drew the box after him .


    He climbed the stairs carefully as he opened the unupied room with his legs .


    Good thing it wasn¡¯t locked.


    He ced her on the bed and Thelma drew in the box immediately.


    ¡°I will take care of her , and I think you have to call  Lucien¡± she said


    ¡°Yeah , I guess so. Take care of her , on a second thought I will just check up on him at home .


    ¡± Great idea ¡± Thelma said and Derrick kissed her lightly before going out of the room.


    And Thelma looked at Lucia¡¯s sleeping body and sighed sadly wondering what really happened.

 Stay away

    Derick pulled out of the garage in his Lexus and drove down the road with one destination in mind .


    Lucien¡¯s house .


    He saw someone wave at the car from afar asking him to pull over .


    Seems it was those random people who wants free ride due to limited cabs .


    He decided to help and immediately pulled over and thedy got in .


    ¡± Where are you headed ¡± he asked looking at thedy with a hint of familiarism in his eyes as he started the car and drove off


    ¡± Twitzers ¡± she muttered and immediately Derrick remembered her immediately .


    ¡± You work there right ? ¡± he asked to confirm his suspicion .


    ¡± Yeah I do ¡± Be said feigning ignorance.


    ¡± Well you were the one who packaged my order that day ¡± he said and Be paused for a while before smiling .


    ¡± Yes that¡¯s right . I remember you now .¡± She said brushing her hair backwards with her hands .


    ¡± Ok that¡¯s nice , we are here ¡± he said pulling by twitzers .


    Be bit her lips wishing that twitzers was far away .


    ¡± Uhmm can I get your number ¡± Be got the courage to ask .


    ¡± Ok fine ¡± Derick said after looking at her for some minutes.


    He brought out the card waving the engagement ring in his hands intentionally while handing her the card.


    Be smiled before taking the card.


    She had seen what he had done there but that won¡¯t deter her , she will get him to fuck her very soon .


    ¡± Thanks..


    ¡± It¡¯s Derrick ¡± he muttered gently and she bit her lips before nodding her head.


    ¡± I will call you ¡± she said and got down from the car .


    Derrick shook his head as he drove out of the ce .

    Cara paced around the office as she dug her hands into her hair.


    What was the devil Patricia doing here and gosh , she was frustrated.


    She can¡¯t also believe that Kim has not been answering her calls for some time now .


    Everything she has nned were not working out and she felt like rewinding the clock and starting her ns in a different way .


    She was going to quit her job and go get her daughter.


    ¡­.


    Derick switched off the car as he moved briskly into the house after talking with the gate keeper.


    He pressed the doorbell but there was no sign of Luciening to open the door.


    He pushed the door open and looked around the sitting room before climbing up the stairs .


    ¡°Lucien , Lucien ¡± he called as he opened his room¡¯s door still no sign of him .


    The gatekeeper had given him an affirmation that he was in a while ago or was he pulling his legs.


    He moved to the other door and he creased his brows as he saw Lucien on the floor with his eyes shut and from the looks of it , he was shivering .


    ¡± Lucien , Lucien ¡± he called out .


    ¡± Derick , De.. rick¡± he said and sneezed .


    Derick crouched to his side and felt his  temperature


    ¡°Lucien , you are burning up . What¡¯s wrong . What¡¯s going up between two of you ¡± he asked.


    ¡± I messed up Derrick , I love her so much but I messed up . She is gone ¡± he said and tears formed in his eyes again.


    ¡± Stop being a baby boy . She isn¡¯t gone ..


    He had notpleted the statement when Lucien raised his head to look at her .


    ¡± And the only way I will tell you where she is.  Get up and go take a shower . You stink. So you can tell me everything ¡± he said and before he knew what was happening .


    Lucien dashed out of the room and Derrickughed as he watched what love turned his friend into. .N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    Lucien opened his bathroom door and turned on the shower immediately allowing it to run down his bare body.


    He hopes Derrick wasn¡¯t ying mind games with him or else.


    He reserved hisment .


    ..


    Lucia turned on the bed lightly as she felt peering eyes at her .


    It was just like the day she had called Lucien her saviour .


    Damn, she was thinking about Lucien again .


    She said cussing herself.


    She hissed as she flipped her eyelids open.


    ¡± Finally you got out of your thought and decided to wake up .¡± Thelma said rolling her eyes .


    She had been studying her since she turned and by her expressions , she was lost deeply in thoughts. .


    ¡± Can I have a ss of water please ¡± she said and Thelma turned to the side of the bed and pressed out the water from the water dispenser there.


    Lucia bit her lips as she saw that her ns had failed.


    She thought Thelma would leave the room and allow her gather her thoughts properly but ns failed .


    She collected the water from her and gulped it down while looking at Thelma¡¯s waiting gaze with her side view.


    ¡± Fine , I better start exining¡± Lucia said as she returned the cup to Thelma who dropped the cup by the bed drawer stand .


    Lucia went ahead to exin everything that happened and Thelma giggled.


    Lucien scoffed and turned her face away making Thelma stop .


    ¡± Ok I am sorry about that but you guys look cute .¡± She said and Lucia rolled my eyes.


    ¡± Cute my ass ¡± she spat and Thelma fell on the bed as sheughed harder.


    ¡± If you injure my God daughter because of that jerk, you will have to answer to me ¡± Lucia said and Thelma chuckled .


    ¡± Who told you it¡¯s a baby girl ¡± she said with a pout.


    ¡± Whatever , that¡¯s what I want the baby to be ¡± Lucia said giggling .


    ¡± Well sorry to burst your bubbles.  I think it¡¯s a boy ¡± Thelma said jokingly


    ¡± You think , pathetic¡± Lucia saidughing.


    She felt a little bit relieved now but her heart still ached for Lucien.


    ¡± So what is your n now ¡± Thelma said shifting back to the topic on ground .


    ¡°I don¡¯t know for now  Thelma   . But one thing is sure , I don¡¯t want Lucien around me now. ¡± She said with painced in her voice.

 Not kidding

    Thelma sighed as she rubbed her back before hugging her tightly to himself .


    The hug was broken by the steps she had on the stairs.


    If she was not mistaken , the feet belong to more than one person  .


    She stood up immediately but before she could get to the door.


    The door opened revealing Derrick and Lucien who walked in.


    Lucia folded her fist as she stood up from the bed and got into the bathroom there  .


    Lucien sighed as he palmed his face .


    He had messed up big time .


    ¡± I think you need to give her space Lucien . That¡¯s why she left . Seeing you here is going to aggravate the situation ¡± Thelma said and Lucien sighed .


    ¡± Please help me talk to her , if I lose Lucia , I might die ¡± he said tears threatening to drop out of his eyes.


    ¡± Don¡¯t worry she won¡¯t leave you.  She just needs space .¡± Thelma said and Derick patted his back .


    ¡± I love you Lucia. Please forgive me soon ¡± he yelled before leaving the room..


    ..


    Lucia sat on the floor as more tears ran down her face .


    She couldn¡¯t believe that his presence still breaks her.


    She hopes by the time she spends more weeks here , she will have a thick wall to be able to stay strong whenever hees again .


    She heard the door close and she knew he has left .


    Lucia gathered herself and got up and washed her face in the wash basin and using the towel there to wipe her face .


    She opened the door and looked around the room beforeing out fully .


    Immediately Thelma opened the door and got in .


    She gave her a look from head to toe and sighed before walking to her and pulling her into a hug which Lucia melted into immediately and she didn¡¯t know when she started sobbing again.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay Lucia . it¡¯s okay ¡± she said stroking her hair .

    ¡± What do you think I can do ¡± Lucien asked gulping more of the alcohol in front of him .


    ¡± Stop drinking too much or else you will be undescribable soon . I am not staying with you all night dude ¡± Derrick said but Lucien was not having any of it as he gulped more of the wine .


    ¡± Dude ¡± Derrick half yelled grabbing the bottle  from him .


    Lucien ruffled his hair as he looked at the door to see a familiar personing in .


    He gritted his teeth as he walked towards him .


    Before Derrick could get to him , hended a punch on Jason¡¯s face and Jason who wasn¡¯t expecting that fell to the ground as his lips bled .


    He stood up immediately and went after him but Lucien was quick to duck as he kicked him in his stomach sending him to the floor with blood pumping out of his mouth .


    He was about stepping on his face with his shoe when Derrick drew him from him .


    ¡± What has gotten over you dude ¡± he said giving him a knock .


    ¡± I am dying Derrick ¡± he said holding his chest suddenly .


    ¡± Get a hold of your self and solve the errors you already created and stop creating new errors .¡± He said and gave onest look at Derrick who stillid on the floor before walking out of the bar .


    Lucien felt his knees go weak as he followed Derrick who was already waiting for him in the car .


    He opened the door and Derrick sighed .


    ¡± The only way you can win Lucia back is by getting back to your feet and stop being stupid , get out of your drunk state. Lucia won¡¯t talk to a drunk man . You won her heart before , what makes you think you can¡¯t win her again . From everything I see , she is still in love with you so wake up. ¡± He said and by the time he finished talking , Lucien felt better .


    ¡°Thank you Derrick, thanks for always being here ¡± he said hugging him making Derrick giggle .


    ¡± I am not Lucia dude ¡± he said with a smile making Lucien poke his back .


    The ringing of a phone brought them back and Derrick picked up the phone which was his and creased his brows at the unsaved number .


    He swiped on the receiver and a familiar female voice came on.


    ¡°Be ?¡± He asked and Lucien turned to look at him with a puzzled look as he allowed them talk .


    ¡± Who was that ¡± he asked as soon as Derrick dropped the call .


    ¡± Be , ady I met at twitzers. She is a friend ¡± he said turning on the ignition of his car.


    ¡± Ok if you say so but just be careful . Some girls can be very tricky and desperate ¡± Lucien said remembering Cara¡¯s plots.


    ¡± Trust me , I fell for Thelma and she got all my heart and no otherdy can get close to it .¡± He said and Lucien smiled.


    He wish Lucia can forgive him easily , he miss those lips of hers .


    He chuckled at his thoughts making Derrick to look at him before turning his attention back to the road.


    Derrick pulled over by Lucien¡¯s house and gave him a fist bump.


    ¡± Please you guys should take care of Lucia while I work on myself toe get her ¡± he said and Derrick smiled .


    ¡± Sure bro , but be fast about it . I need some space with my woman ¡± he said smiling naughtily.


    ¡± Whatever, so when is the weddinging up again ¡± he  asked and Derrick smiled.


    ¡± Well maybe next week , Aunt is disturbing my life ¡± he said with a sigh .


    ¡± Didn¡¯t you tell her she is pregnant , your aunt can be so impossible at times. ¡± Lucien said with gritted teeth.


    ¡± Yeah , I did. I didn¡¯t even give her the chance to reply because I couldn¡¯t bear any ill talk at the moment. ¡± He said and from the looks of his eyes , it was slowly weighing him down .


    ¡± Forget about her , I will go talk to her tomorrow and get her to ept Thelma or I will kill her ¡± Lucien said and Derrick immediately turned to look at him .


    ¡± Kidding¡± he saidughing .

    ¡± I will advise you to keep shut so you don¡¯t miss your name when it appears on the projector . ¡± The Prof said shunning them because immediately almost the whole ss payed attention to the projector which had started disying the names.


    Cami palmed her face as she saw her partner¡¯s name and turned to see a grin on his face causing her to roll her eyes .


    ¡°Jay shouldn¡¯t be trouble ¡± she thought because from the looks of things, he has feelings for her.


    There wasmotion outside as everyone quickly faced the entrance of the ss. Cami inclusive .


    A lecturer entered the hall with a new student who was putting on a face cap and a mask and only his eyes were open .


    ¡°Wow he is hot ¡± she heard some girls say behind her but she wasn¡¯t interested as she payed more attention to those eyes that look familiar .


    ¡± So new student, introduce yourself ¡± the Prof said after looking at him for some minutes .


    ¡± My name is Dos ¡± he said and winked at Cami who was still lost.


    The other girls started fighting for who got the wink which was very silly.


    ¡± Was this the surprise he talk about this morning ¡± she thought.


    ¡± So Dos you can have your seat ¡± the Prof said pointing at a seat by his left .


    Dos walked to his seat with mixed feelings .


    He couldn¡¯t read his Mi¡¯s reaction and he doesn¡¯t know if this was a good idea .


    He knew he was jealous thinking of her falling in love with another guy but he couldn¡¯t help it .


    He sat down quietly.


    ¡°Hi ¡± he heard and turned to see a guy¡¯s outstretched hand  .


    ¡± Hi ¡± he said ignoring the hands.


    ¡± I am Jay ¡± he said and Dos muttered an okay before turning to look at Cami who looked away immediately .


    He rubbed his face slightly thinking of how to pacify her .


    The Prof left the ss and everyone started talking happily.


    They knew it was their free time because the next ss startster in the day .


    Those who lives on campus started heading to their rooms, maybe to get a nap.
