LUCIANOI watch Willow as she adjusts the dress she is wearing. I could still see her erect pointy nipples. The frown on her face grows deeper as she looks up at me."What happened to Kenzo?" She asks. "He is losing investors, and his name is getting shamed, everywhere," I say before I walk over to my phone. I unlock it and the screensaver pops up, I scroll to the news app."Here," I hand the phone to her and she scrolls through it. I see as she goes back to the screensaver and her eyes pop a bit. "How did you get this picture?" I ask. It is a picture I managed to sneak on the wedding day. She carried a pretty smile I just couldn't resist. "I dunno," I shrug and she gives me a death glare."Do you feel sorry for him?" I ask as I place my hands inside my pocket.She looks away as she folds her arms around her chest. "He is human after all, but he also deserves it," She says as her amber eyes stare back at me."Do you need a ride to work?" I ask as I walk over to the closet f
The first person my eyes catches is my father. He is dressed in a brown jacket and matching trousers. At the corner of the hall, I see my mother's round face, her body is perfectly covered in Chanel. She is with a black pan trouser, a white shirt and a sweater vest around her neck. Her brown hair falls gently on her square shoulder. Her gray eyes caught my tiny frame directly at the entrance. I watch as she heaves a sigh. My father also carries his face to my direction and the deepest scowl I have ever seen appears on his face. I finally get the strength to move over to them but immediately in reaching a talking proximity, my father turns on his heels and leaves.I throw my head back to my mother but she isn't there anymore. Truly they are ignoring my existence.Some of the workers that actually notice my presence greet me as they pass the elevator. I walk over to the private elevator, my mother is inside. I press the seven button and the door closes."Mom," I call as we rea
LUCIANOThis is addictive.She is like fire and I am like a toddler, I should stay away but the flames look too pretty. I just have to touch it.I pull away from the kiss and her face is red. I hear a scoff behind me before I hear a soft thud. The flowers he bought for her fell to the ground. I turn around and I notice how furious he is. If her parents weren't here he would have charged at me. If the media wasn't present he would have tried to snatch her away. I turn back to her and I lift her off the ground. A surprised gasp escaped her lips as we made our way to the car. The security outside helped with opening the door. I placed her in the front seat beside me."Thank you," I say to them as I tip them a fifty.I join her at the front before I start the car and speed off. I glance at her. "I planned us a honeymoon," I say and she finally stares at me since we got into the car. "Why? For the media?" She asks."Yes," I managed to say."And my dad wants to see you, and a lo
WILLOWMy eyes widen as the words leave his mouth. "What do you mean?" I ask as I place my hands around my waist. He is probably toying with me. Knowing Luciano, this is to get a reaction from me. "I will only sleep twice with you if I feel some sort of connection between us," He says as he moves away from the bed. "But we are condemned together and I can't see another woman outside, so we can't say if there wouldn't be another time," He says"So you have never slept with a woman twice?" I ask and he shrugs. "I refuse to answer, besides we have to get ready for the trip tomorrow evening," He says before he disappears in the toilet. I walk over to the closet and I change into a silk dress. Luciano's phone rings on the desk."Your phone is ringing," I called out. "You could answer it for me," He answers back."What is the work of your assistant?" I ask. "I can't come out, please help me, it might be work,"He says and I groan. I place the phone to my ear and I answer the
WILLOWBroken? Did she cheat? What does she do to break your dad? A million questions fly in my head but I keep them all to myself."How?" I find myself asking."She used to cheat when she got married, but my dad still stayed. I used to. I think they were the thickest bond. The best couple I knew until I caught my mom with another man when I was fifteen. My dad made me promise to not tell anyone, even my elder brother," He explains as he takes a right turn."So what happened?" I ask, trying to hide my sympathy."I told him, if he didn't divorce her, I was going to leave," He says."What did he say?" I ask out of curiosity."He said, she still loves her, it isn't going to be possible, so at the age of seventeen I left my parent's house," He says."Dis she ever stop cheating? Did your brother ever find out?" I ask as my interest piques. "No, I even know if she ever stopped because two years later she died from a disease, on one of her business trips," He explains."I'm so sorry," I g
WILLOWI blink multiple times as Luciano pulls me closer. "Are you okay?" He whispers softly so as to not drag attention. "Yes, I just felt a— something, on my lower back maybe it is just pre period cramps," I say as I stand straight."Let go and sit somewhere," He offers and I follow him.He pulls a chair for me beside the round glass table. The music from the other side of the room became softer and less noisy. It seems like the room shuts out all the sound outside."Are you sure we shouldn't call the doctor?" He asks and I nod."I am fine, it's already late, maybe I just need some rest," I say. "Okay, wait here," He says and I watch as he leaves the room.My phone buzzes in my bag and I bring it out. It's a text message. I open the chat and it's a new group. A thousand messages start to flow in. An apology group by Kenzo. I roll my eyes as I see the messages. Does he think getting random people to apologize to me is going to do anything to me? I leave the group and I turn
WILLOWIt felt like there was a new found Hiroshima attack in my chest. I did not know how I got the strength but I moved away at a very fast rate."Jesus Christ, why would you do that?" I say as I hold my chest."Touch me again and I will send you back to the couch!" I yell at him angrily before I return to the bed. I felt his arms around me and he pulled me closer. I try to fight him off but his grip is strong."I'm tired, don't move my hands away," He says softly. Unable to say anything to him. I just try to find some sleep and the next time I open my eyes. It is already morning.His hands are still around my waist, his grip is still firm but I can still move it away if I want to.I gently release myself from his comfy prison and just as I stand my phone blares. I grab it and I see that it is an unknown number."Good morning! Sorry to disturb you this early, I just wanted to be the first to steal you today!" A familiar voice speaks."Good morning, sorry to say, but who am I sp
LUCIANOThe smell of her perfume still lingers around the room. Some of the clothes she wore are still scattered around the house.I move away from the bed and I pick up her clothes around the room. I had to go settle some things today at the office before the trip today. By Monday morning we will be back home here. A feeling of unease feels in my mind as I think of Willow. I know Lily would not do anything to harm but I don't even know if she truly has changed. Sources say she went to a mental institution because of her attachment issues. I grab my phone from the table and I text her. A reply comes in almost immediately. "I'm fine, we are having breakfast," He texts back and I feel a little better. The last thing I want is for Willow to know I have a history with her.I let my driver take me to work today because I am alone. I arrive at the office and I see a bouquet of flowers."Lisa?" I call my secretary and she arrives in a minute."Yes sir?""What took you so long?"
v*LUCAS’S POV**I glance across the room at Lucien, my mind racing with what to say about Camilla. I open my mouth to speak stuttering slightly, "I'll have to figure it out somehow," I admit, my gaze fixed on Lucien.He furrows his brow, looking confused “Figure it out? What do you mean?" Lucien asks.”Taking a deep breath, I respond, "I mean I want to talk to her, understand where her head is at. I need to know if she wants to stay, who she wants, and what's going on in her mind right now."Lucien leans back, his expression serious. "Honestly, Lucas, I think we should just let Camilla go. She's been through so much in such a short period. It's a miracle she's holding it together.And, let's face it, everything she's going through is because of us. If we never came into her life, she wouldn't be facing all these difficulties," he says.Nodding in agreement, I admit, "I've been thinking about it too. But, Camilla is avoiding me. Did you see how she acted when I entered the room? It's l
vLUCIEN’S POV**I stand in the dimly lit parking lot, my breath forming small clouds in the chill of the early morning air.It’s three in the morning,and I’m feeling anxious and exhilarated.Lucas and Liam, stand beside me, their expressions mirroring the same mix of emotions I feel.The last few days has been exhausting trying to discreetly send our message to the headquarters without raising suspicions or alerting the wrong people.The three of us have been through so much together, and tonight is no exception.I glance at Lucas, his tall and sturdy frame and he meets my gaze with a faint smile, he looked anxious too, clenching and unclenching his fist.Liam, on the other hand, fidgets nervously, running a hand through his unruly dark hair. He is trying so hard to hide it but I can see the anxiety etched on his face.Despite our fears, we knew exactly what to do."Are you ready?" I ask softly, breaking the silence that envelops us.Both of them nod, their expressions unwavering. I ca
vvLUCIANO'S POVIt's been a week since Willow's accident and finally the day for the hearing of my custody battle with Clara.I asked the doctor for a favour and had Willow moved to a different hospital secretly for her safety and also prepare myself mentally to restrict myself whenever I see that bitch, Clara.I fear that I might pounce on her with malicious intent when I set my eyes on her so I'm trying to keep that from happening as it would not help my case.I arrived at the court a few minutes before the scheduled and I am immediately accosted by Clara and her lawyer the second I enter the courthouse.I stare at them coldly as my eyes fixated on Clara who met my gaze confidently."What is the meaning of this?" I asked coldly."A last minute bargain," the lawyer said, his moustache dancing as he spoke. He is a short, bald man who carried an air of arrogance and unfounded confidence.I frown at them."What sort of bargain?""Let's settle this like adults and take it out of court,"
LUCIANO'S POVI wait across from the spa for a few minutes and eventually see her walking out of it.A beauty to behold as her hair cascades down her figure in enchanting waves. Her figure, a sight for the eyes in her black ankle-long gown that hugs her body, displaying her curves in full view to be admired by all who walk past her. Sunglasses adorn her face, keeping her beautiful eyes shielded from the sun.I can't help but be proud that she is mine.She spots me where I am parked in a pretty secluded location and makes her way to me. Her gait, the epitome of modelling art as she could easily pass for a supermodel with the way she struts towards me.Just then, a feeling of dread washes over me like a sort of premonition that something bad was about to happen.Just as I thought that, the sound of screeching car tires filled the quiet street as a car rounds a sharp just a few meters from her at a high speed, drifting in the process and using that momentum to head straight for her.It a
LUCIANO'S POVHer eyes widened at the sound of that."Custody papers?""Yes," I nodded. "I want custody of my son.""And you think that the court would grant that?" she asked. "You think the court would grant you the custody of our son to you, the father who is already dating another woman while refusing to complete the family which would be the best for the child?" she asked and then scoffed. "I am the mother, and I, unlike you wants what's best for my child. I want us to have a complete family. I have a better case than you.""We would let the court decide that," I shrugged. "Take the papers and get out of my office.""What if I don't accept these papers?" she asked with a frown."Then they would be delivered to your doorstep by the cops," I shrugged. "It isn't that difficult actually."She glared at me for a few seconds and then let out another sigh."Do you really have to involve the court in a dispute within our family?" she asked. "We can settle this between us."I gave a look o
LUCIANO'S POVThe past week since the day Willow came back has been quite tedious for me. Even though every other aspect of my life seems to be going smoothly, I can't help but be overwhelmed by my inability to get Willow to forgive me.She acts a bit cold towards me, refuses to share a room with me and even avoids conversation with me. If she ultimately has to engage in a conversation, she only replies with one word answers which I must admit is quite hurtful. And I understood that she was trying to be cautious since she would be going through relationship scandals not for the first time.The issue with Kenzo was enough for her to deal with right from time.It also fuels my resentment for Clara.Just one time when I decided to indulge her and entertain her shenanigans, she ruins the one thing that keeps me happy.I've had it all for as long as I can remember. Wealth, fame, looks, assets, endowments and women. I lacked nothing.At least that's what everyone who sees me thinks.Objecti
vLUCIANO'S POVWillow stares at me for a long while. Even as I plead and do my absolute best to further convince her that everything she saw was a misunderstanding. My words seemed to fall on deaf ears as she made no gestures to express her emotions. Her face was emotionless, her eyes bleak and her mouth shut.Very much unlike the Willow I know."Say something, Willow," I sigh as I eventually decided to stop talking and just listen to her."What do you want me to say?" she asked calmly, surprising me. "You kissed a woman you claim to have nothing romantic with and call it a misunderstanding. What am I supposed to say to that? Do I believe you who went there yourself and let her kiss you, or Clara, who obviously wanted me to see it by recording it? Who do I trust?""Me," I say as I inch closer to her but her eyes stop me in my tracks. They always had a fire in them that I love, but the flames I see now are so scalding hot that it would burn me to a crisp if I approached her carelessly.
WILLOW'S POVI watched as he came out of the shower, one white towel wrapped very low around his waist, making his v-line more prominent. The other white towel, he used to dry his hair. I tried very hard not to stare at him, but my eyes kept betraying me.Our eyes met in the mirror, and I quickly acted like I was keeping busy with my phone, but not before I saw him smirking.He picked up his shirt and started putting it on, buttoning it one by one. I could feel his heated gaze on me, but I refused to look up and meet his eyes. Both of us had sex yesterday, but that didn't mean I entirely forgave him. I had to trust him that Clara planned all this.I had to trust that he would never do anything to jeopardize us.“Are you coming with me today?” He asked as he picked up his pants from the bed. I would have been worried about him wearing the same clothes to work, but I wasn't. All the clothes in his closet looked practically the same, and I was sure none of his workers would notice.And i
LUCIANO'S POVIn an instant, Willow's mouth was against mine and our lips parted. Our tongues collided and our mouths meshed into a saliva pit. My arms surrounded her and we kissed powerfully for a solid time. Our tongues mashed deep into each other's mouths as our hands roamed over all new territory and while my cock hardened.“Let’s not do this here,” Willow said when she got her tongue back."Why? They'll understand we're making another baby." I replied."Oh, no! I won't survive mum's taunts if she catches us." She rose, taking my hand off her body. She locked the door and climbed the bed once again to prevent anyone from intruding in our moment.We continued kissing and she paused for a moment and I felt a shiver.“Give me your hand,” she said softly, and pulled my hand up under the front of her skirt till it was flush against her crotch.“Do you feel that?” she asked.“Hmmm, no underwear,” he said.“Feel how wet I am?”“Yes…”"That's to show how much I missed you."She kissed me
