Hearing his name makes me feel like I'm stuck and can't move on."Well, it's just a rumor, so you don't have to believe it," Hugo said, his voice dripping with mystery. "Besides that, your secretary made a meeting for us tomorrow at 10 a.m.” I reluctantly agree, my face betrays the despair I'm trying to hide. "Alright, Bye." I put the phone down and sat down at the desk, my gaze fixed on the empty wall. The heart ache in my heart deepened, a constant, relentless reminder of the love I've lost, and a love that still echoes in the empty spaces of my life.“I miss him….” I heard a sudden knock on my door, I looked up and said, “Come in.” Alecia walked in and said, “Your grandma is here.” "Oh, tell her I'm busy today and don't have time for visitors." Alecia asked, "Do you want me to lock your door so they won't bother you anymore?""Yes, lock it," I say with a nod. She asked, wide-eyed, "Are you serious Mi
Lucy’s POVI bit my lip and rubbed my temple in response to stepmom's viewpoint, then sent her a furious glance and asked, "Why would I do that to the poor baby? Of course, once the baby is out, it will belong to Peter since he's the child's father. And Jane will spend the rest of her life in jail." As she slowly nodded in agreement with what I had just pointed out, she finally remarked, "Oh, that's right. Actually, did you know that this is the reason your grandmother's business is slowly falling apart? Don't you feel bad about it at all?" I put down my bag and let out a sigh to calm down. If I couldn't calm down, I would have hit that woman in front of my dad's grave already. "No, it doesn't make me feel bad at all. That's their choice; they want to support Jane, the criminal."The moment I turned my back on her, she looked disgusted and asked, "How can you treat Jane like that? You think your cousin is a criminal? She didn't put you in the water or shoot you, so Lucy, please stop
Lucy’s POV"Who the f*ck is this?" I asked madly as I pulled over to the side of the road. I was so scared that I forgot the man's voice on the phone because my heart was beating so fast.He laughed and said, "Just kidding. I have your flower shop's number. Is this your real phone number?""Look, if you don't want to order anything, don't call me," I said with a soft scoff and a roll of the eyes.And he said, "I already bought your grandma's traditional house—" "So, you're Hugo?" I asked with a sigh, my mouth splitting open as I remembered him."I thought it would take you too long before you remembered me," he said."So what do you want from me?" I asked him softly and waited for him to answer because I knew I had to get to my dad's grave today immediately. I'm in such a hurry but this monkey wants me to work for him. "Well, since I bought your grandmother's house, I can see that this garden needs some fresh flowers from your farm. Could you do me a favor? I know you're a florist.
Lucy’s POVONE WEEK LATER, Cecille sobbed to Alecia, "She won't leave her room no matter what I do. Can you please talk to her?" I stare at my phone every day just to receive a call from Arman, but I guess I was only waiting for nothing. "Lucy..." Alecia said as she walked toward me with a sad face. "Maybe you need to pick yourself back up again." It might be time for you to eat and take care of yourself. If things get worse, you'll become depressed, and I don't want that to happen.""Why do you care about me?" My shoulders trembled as I sobbed hysterically as if mourning the loss of something dear in my heart, and I pleaded with the universe to simply let me rot in this place; I no longer want to live. "Lucy, I'm not just your secretary; I'm also your friend. In fact...." Alecia grabbed Cecille's hand and continued, "We are your friends, and we are here for you. We want you to know that you're not alone as you go through this breakup." After wiping away my tears and trying not t
Lucy’s POVHe pulled away from me right away after I bit his lower lip. "f*CK!" He slapped my face and punched my stomach until I was so hurt I couldn't move. He tore my clothes apart, and all I could do was cry out for help. "I don't want to do this to you, but you're giving me no choice, Lucy!" "Edward, please stop!" I hit him in the head so hard that a few drops of blood slowly fell from his forehead. I clutch my head in pain as I sob uncontrollably. My heart is pounding like a migraine. A sudden and deafening gunshot rang out from behind him as he was about to draw his gun. Following that, Edward's lifeless body landed directly on me. I shook with fear as a dead body fell on me, making me feel like my whole world dropped apart.I heard footsteps coming toward me. I screamed in fear. Fear of death.As much as I wanted to breathe, the fear, confusion, and panic I felt made it impossible for me to do so. I closed my eyes slowly and got lost in the chaos of this hell room. Someo
Lucy’s POV"No! Are you seriously going to disrespect me like this after all I did for you?!" He yelled at me and grabbed my arm so hard that I could feel his nails digging into my skin. "Edward! You're hurting me…" I said as I tried to get him to move away. Then Sofia snarled, "Edward, get off your filthy hands off my daughter in law!" He laughed and stated, "Why would I do that? She's mine." Edward took my hand and pulled out his gun. "If anyone moves, her skull will blow up!" he yelled, threatening everyone.Edward scanned the room with a stern look on his face. He grabbed me tightly and dragged me down the hall until we reached the parking lot. He pushed me inside his car and tied a rope around my wrist. He then put scratch tape over my mouth. "Stop crying!" he yelled at me.My heart was beating so fast because I had no idea what Edward's plan was. Until I heard bullets going off everywhere, he took me with him and got away.I let out a cry when he thrust a syringe into my
Lucy’s POVI curled up in bed and peered around like a scared cat because I knew that if he left, I would not be the same person I was before. He cupped my face, touched my hand, and said, "Let me do my job and find that person. Everything will be okay, and you won't be scared anymore. Okay, Lucy?"I chewed on my lower lip, my head moving in a slow, reluctant nod, as if the words were too heavy to bear. "You don't have to leave tonight. You know the risk, you know how dangerous it is to be outside...." "Lucy, sshhhh..." he put his finger on my lips and he shook his head, "Nothing bad will happen to me, trust me." "Isn't it clear that I'm scared to death if anything happens to you?" I asked him with a smile."Well, hearing you say those magic words still makes me feel good, you know?" He said."I love you..." I said, my voice barely a whisper but filled with a depth of emotion.He grinned and lifted my chin to kiss my lips. I closed my eyes and felt his heavenly lips on mine; I kisse
Lucy’s POV"Are you alright? Do you feel any pain? Tell me. Do you want something?" While I stared at him, I blinked my eyes and thought about what had happened the day before. According to the nurse, I had been sleeping for twenty-four hours. But this man in front of me looked so worried. I wanted to reassure him that I was okay, that I was on the path to recovery.Tears began to trickle down my cheeks as I uttered the words, "T--Thank you." I'm thankful to have him by my side, even though all of my friends, family, and even my parents have left me. Arman looked a little confused as I cried while holding his hand, but he didn't say a word. He just let me cry in his arms. Someone like him is just what I need at this very moment. He stroked my hair and the back of my head, saying, "It's okay, just cry it out. I'm here for you, Lucy."He smiled at me, sensing my distress, and asked, "Are you feeling better now?" I wiped my tears away and asked, "Where's Alicia?" "She's with Cecill
Arman’s POVMy lawyer, Knox Ricci, said, "Arman, there's a call for you." As I looked across at him, my mind continued to race over who could have called me at this hour. Finally, I reached for his phone and demanded, "Who is this?" "Miss Lucy is in the hospital right now, Sir. She was poisoned!" “What?” I quickly grabbed my things and gave my lawyer his phone back. Knox asked, “What’s happening?” “Something happened to Lucy.” Then I raced outside and slammed on the brakes because I was so scared I was going to pass out from thinking about what had happened to her; my heart was racing with anxiety. Whoever dared to endanger Lucy's life should suffer the ultimate price. If it means killing another person, it will be to exact revenge for what he did to my Lucy; I will not allow this to go unpunished.My fear of losing her had me racing inside the hospital as soon as I stepped through the door. Oh, sh*t, I put her in this real position. If one of my enemies did this to her, I mi
