WILLOW"A crazy friend she is, don't mind her she's just weird," Her previous reply echoes in my head as we arrive in front of the museum. Breakfast was shorter than I expected. She was in a hurry to visit this museum."Come on!" She yells as we walk in deeper."Let me get us tickets!" She says as we arrive at the front desk.The museum tour with her was the most boring of all. She talked alot and I couldn't relate to half of what she said. Boring enough for me to miss Luciano's company.He texted earlier to check in on me. "I wanted to ask something about your wedding," She says."Yeah? I'm listening," I say as I check for any message from Luciano."How did he propose?" She asks. I am just going to tell the truth, literally."Not in any way romantic, we were at a party as he told me he wanted to marry me, and I accepted, that simple," I say not including a piece of a lie. "How Boring! I thought he would probably have taken you to the beach or something," She says as we reach ou
WILLOWHe hands me a towel and I clean my face with it."How did she give you my ring? What are you even doing here? I thought you were at work," I say as I move away from his body."I happened to pick it up on my way outside, he was coming. I handed it to him," She said as she moved to where we stood. "Why are you here? How did you even know we were here?" I ask. "Your phone sent an emergency message," He says."Maybe it was because it was clustered along with some things in my bag." I say I look at the messy bag. "You need to clean up, let's get you something to change into," He says and I nod.I take the toilet and I hand him my bag with my phone inside. I took off all the clothes I wore. Thoroughly cleaning the liquid away from my body.I sit on the sink as I wait for them to come back. I didn't know the time but I can guess that at least twenty minutes passed before the door came open.Luciano is holding a clear bag with a cloth and a tiny bag inside. "I am waiting for yo
WILLOWAt the airport where we landed, A man in a dark green suit stands in the middle with his hands behind his back. At first I thought it was a guard until I saw his face.He has a close resemblance to Luciano. I wrap my hands around his arms, my bag in his other hand. A red haired girl walks beside the man in a green suite. He circles his hands around her waist. Maybe she is his Girlfriend. We finally arrive in front of him and a smile appears on his face. I managed to bring it out on. "You must be Willow," He says and I bring forth my hand. He places a tender kiss on my arm sending a chilly sensation up my skin."Is our hotel ready?" Luciano asks."Dear, dear, no hugs for your brother?" He asks."I'd rather do something more productive," He replies. "Here, pearl's hotel. Room number 45d, make sure to come for dinner, dad will be waiting," He says before he disappears. Another girl follows him inside and the car zooms off. The driver and the car assigned isn't as luxuri
LUCIANO.For the first time in years, I finally saw my father and he has changed so much. He had a tired look and his wrinkles were more visible.I watch as he smiles with Willow, they are getting along really well. Why would he say his death wish is for him to see his sons together?Is he truly dieing? But he looks perfectly healthy. Was it just a plan to lead me to him?My father stares at me before he rises from his chair."Let me go get the papers," He says before he disappears into the corridor. I move closer to Willow and a smile rests on her beautiful features. "Sorry, I'm late," A familiar voice says and I see lily in flesh. What is she doing here? I thought I saw him with another girl earlier today?"Lily?" Willow says as she stands up. They give each other a small hug and Lily is the first to pull away."It appears you already know my fiancee lily, you already met my younger brother, Lily told me you went on a little date," He says to Willow and she smiles. So she couldn
WILLOWLuciano goes pale as the phone falls from his hands."Hey? What happened?" I ask as I hold on to his hands. I grab his hands and he tries to pull away. I turn his face to me and he still looks like he saw a ghost."Hey? Tell me what happened? Tem me something," I saw but he still stared at nothing. He remains speechless like he is reminiscing about something. I grab his phone and I can back mark."What happened? He isn't saying anything, what happened?" I ask, scared for the answer. I refuse to assume. He has to tell me what happened by himself."Father, he isn't responding. He has passed away," He says almost calmly. I knew him for just a day but I can still feel the pain jerking at my heart. This is bad. How is he going to cope?"Hey Luciano, look at me," I try to get him attention but he pulls me away.He rises from the bed and he searches for his shirt. He grabs a white t-shirt. Luckily I still have my bra on. I grab a free dress and my Crocs. I grab my phone at t
WILLOWDrama queen is the perfect word for her. How could I not have known that she is like this. I thought she was a good person but it was a scam.This is the first time I am seeing her with her hair down. Her brown hair reaches her back and it compliments her dark eyes. She wore a black flowy dress that reached her knees. She dabs her tears with a white handkerchief.She finds her seat at our bench and she pushes me away. I did not have the time to fight her this early. She smiles a me and I refuse to return it.She places her hands on Luciano, I feel the need to snap her tiny fingers. It is not like he is my real husband anyways. What can I say?I decide to Ignore her advances, she places her hands over his jaws and he slaps it away. "Come on, don't shut me out, talk to me," She pleads softly and I cross my hands on my chest."Fucking move away from me, can't you move on? I never even liked you. You kept on forcing your fucking friendship and I tried t consider being your
WillowThe cold breeze of earlier November hits my nose as we arrive at Thompson airport in Oak City, Boston.Luciano's arms wrap around my waist as we make it down the stairs. His expression is as cold as always, but somehow that same cold expression softens every time his gaze meets mine. He made me promise to forget about everything that happened in Illinois. Although it was a difficult thing to do considering the fact that I got accustomed to his dad in just a short time. "The car is waiting sir. Welcome back home," A man says as he ushers us inside of Luciano's cars. One of my favourites, the white porsche. The two of us alone in the car again, I try to block out every thought of what happened yesterday night but it seemed impossible.The first time we had sex I was quick to forget about it all. So why am I feeling this way now? I ask myself as I grab the hem of the dress I am wearing."My lo—" He stops halfway when he realises we are still in the car."Willow, I haven't b
WILLOW I walk over to Luciano with a letter in my hands. Why did some Marcus guy come and sack the entire house? Who the fuck did he think he is?"Call your man, that Marcus guy," I say and I fold my hands over my chest."Who is Marcus?" He asks with a raised eyebrow."The person who employed the maids and everyone here," I say."I asked Lisa to just get the others to come back quickly, they will be back soon," I explain and he places his hands in his slacks and he bends his head to his side. I turn to see where he is looking, I see a pink teddy bear the size of Luciano with a box of chocolates in its hands. "This wasn't here when I came in," I say."It didn't just appear right?" Luciano says as he approaches it. "I never told anyone about my huge pink teddy wish," I say out loud as I approach the fluffy toy. "Marcus you said?" He says as he inspects the chocolate."Are you sure you haven't told Kenzo before?" He says and I stop to think.I turn to check the white envelope on
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
