LUCIANO"That is more like it, those very words are like music to her ears," she says and she finally reveals herself."I got us matching dresses! She is just dressed in my clothes now or probably naked, who knows?" She says as she cleans up the white powder from the top of the dress."She is knocked out cold, I don't know if she will make it," She says. Last thing I want is for Willow to be involved in a scandal. I need to save her reputation, I need to save her from this little monster. "What do you want? Tell me before my offer expires," I say and she chuckles. She moves her hair to the left side of her shoulder. Her makeup is presumably sharp today and she is wearing a black heel."You have to make a promise to leave her immediately I release her," She moves close and places her hands on her waist."You will marry me and we will make children, that is all I want from you. This is the antidote, it will only decrease the effects of the drug by fifty but not kill it completely,
WILLOWMy entire body is not more in pain anymore, my entire body feels covered and I am not on a hard surface.Where am I?Last I remember I was in Luciano's car, Lily came back. Drugs? Poison! I got poisoned! How come I am still alive? Or is this what it feels like to be dead?But I did not see my life flash before my eyes. I am also still breathing. What is going on!?I tried to open my eyes and I was met with the white ceiling. The room is adequately lightened. The sun feels soft on my body.This is not the house. Or maybe he took me to his closet apartment? But I will recognize it if I see it.The door to the room clicks and I shut my eyes. What if Kenzo got to me? What if he worked with Lily to kidnap me?I hear footsteps and then warm hands make contact with my skin. It feels relaxing and I open my eyes.I am met with a middle aged woman with thick red hair. A smile appears on her face when she sees me."You are awake," She says before she sits beside me. "Try to sit up," Sh
Willow"What's up?" I ask as I strap in my seat belt."Listen to me, I really need your help with Luciano, there is a current project and we really need his expertise in this area but this man has refused all our offers, put in a good word for me, please," He says straining the e at the end."Alright, take me to him first," I say as I place my head on the door."How did you manage to fall in love with him in three weeks?" He asks and I feel the need to tell him it is just a contract marriage. He is just my friend but it was in the contract to not say anything to anyone."I get surprised every time," I say and he nudges me."You probably ended up in his bed the night you got drunk and you decided you love each other," He says dreamily and I roll my eyes."How's your girlfriend?" I ask and he hits his chest."She left me for some hunky, I have been off men, women! Women!" He clears his throat and I walk in front of him."Really? I won't judge if you are bisexual," I say and he rolls his
WILLOWI swallow hard as I stare at him. This is just a contract."Have you?" I ask not to complete my sentence."There is a huge difference between falling in love with you and caring about your fucking well being," He says with his hands by the side of my head."I am sorry for asking you such a stupid question," I say as I look away. "It's fine, get some rest. Everyone has been trying to reach you, I kept on telling them that you left the city for a few days," He says before he pulls the cover over my body."Rest, I will get you something to eat," He says before he moves away. He shuts the door behind him and I lean my head back.He ought to stop carrying me like, all I can think of is the hard muscles of his body. The way they flex everytime he carries me off the floor.After a while of waiting, counting how many squares were up. He finally arrived with a tray of sandwiches and apple juice."Sit up, let me feed you," He says and obeys immediately."You are the last person I can c
KENZOI smile as I stare up the ceiling, finally today I am going to have my revenge. My wife will be on my bed once more. Everything will be back to the way it was. I just have to explain to Beth that it is just a temporary arrangement, I am sure she would understand.I will have my revenge on that filthy Luciano or whatever he calls himself. He thinks he can just come into my life and still my wife from me!My only source of income, once I finish up with her. I will settle my uncle and he will have thirty percent of everything I get.Our deal will be over by then, we can all go our separate ways. A knock resonated around the room and I look at the direction of the room.Only one person knows I am in a hotel room, I walk over to the door and I unlock it. Luke Carrie’s a bright smile as he makes his across the room.“I can see you woke up excited today,” He says with his hands behind his back. “Dear uncle, you don’t know how excited I am to defeat Luciano,” I say and he chuckled.
WILLOWLuciano gives me his hands as we make it to the eatery. Patrick picked the restaurant himself. My entire body is still in pain from the party we attended yesterday. Kids can be a bundles of head aches.A pictures flashes across my eyes and I remember the boy from yesterday. those gray pair of eyes look intimidating“Luciano can I ask a question?” I ask as we make it to the building. The black dress I wore fitted my body perfectly and I let my hair fall to my back. I am finally resuming hoping my parents would atleast not be around to taunt me.The little straight man that pass me occasionally turn their heads to get a good view of me. “Get tingles the attention aren’t we?” E asks and I just smile. “You get most of it, today is my day to shine,” I say and he chuckled.“Alright then, ask the question you wanted to ask,” He says and exhale softly. “Do you have a child somewhere? Maybe a few years back? Maybe in high-school ? Isn’t that one of the reason you left home to?” I
WILLOW“Really? Tell me more about it, I am curious, did she really do that?” Luciano asked with an amused expression.“None of that happened in middle school, he is just lying!” I say and Patrick ignores me like I am just some living pest disturbing his existence.“That was the first time I met Willow, apparently she had toilet issues. her nanny didn’t teach her how to potty properly and I was the closest to her.” He continues to say.At that point I just want the ground to swallow me up and make me lost forever in its comfort. My face is read as I place a spoonful of egg yoke in my mouth. “you see the section was over and parents were coming over to pick their children and hers hadn’t come yet. She just stayed in one place unable to move. At first I thought she just didn’t want to move until I started smelling something nasty towards my lane. I move closer to her and I see. . . well in respect of this beautiful breakfast we are having I don’t want to disclose what I saw,” He says
WILLOW"Wherever you are, I want you to know that I love you more than anything in this world, I am terribly sorry for everything I have done to you. I can be a better husband and I hope this get across to you, am sending this message to you hoping you get it in good health. You are worth more than a billion, please my love take me back, " Those words ring in my ears as I make it out the breakfast bristols.He was probably trained! How could you spit out so much lies on live television and still have the audacity to show your face around. Who did he think he is? He is nothing but another cheater looking for how to make cash. All this people will believe his disgusting lies!My face is burning with anger and my chest rises and fall rapidly. If I he ahold of Kenzo I am going to kill him with my bare hands. I feel restless as the apology video keeps replaying in my head.I walk over to the car and Luciano follows after me. I wear the jacket Luciano bought along for me for the cold. The b
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
