WILLOWMy first thought is to call the security because I expect a bomb inside. There is no telling what my enemies are trying to concoct against me. But I try not to over react.I take matters into my own hands and i start by kicking the package with my feet and it does not blow up. I let out a sigh of relief and I pick up the package reluctantly. I tear open the box and a gold necklace and a brown note falls from it. I pick it up from the floor an it had my name boldly written on and I check the brown note on the floor."I notice you don't really like big things so I got you something to your fitting. It would look pretty on you, make sure you wear it this time because I spent a ton on this little thing you are seeing," The note says and there is no sender details. The person that sent the know obviously knows me to some extent. An ordinary stalker will not behave with such familiarism.But Kenzo would have put his name, so what is going on? Who is this person? Perhaps a stalker? I
WILLOWI slowly open my eyes and I see that sunlight is already creeping in behind the curtain. I toss and turn on the bed and I notice that there is too much turning space for me.Luciano is not on the bed and I figured he is probably ready. I stand up and look at the corner of the bed. There is orange juice at the table and a few cookies on a plate. From the looks of it, I see that it is Luciano that will do something like that. I go to the plate and I pick up a cookie and take a tiny bite and gulp down mist of the juice down my throat. Compared to our own country's juice, theirs is quite mild on the tongue.I drop the cookie and the glass and I go and take my bath. I come out of the bathroom when I am done and I dey myself with the towel. Luciano is still not in the room and I proceed to lock the door.No way I am letting him meet me naked in the room.After an hour I dress up in warm clothes and open the curtains. The room is sparkling clean, courtesy of the set of maids. The sno
WILLOWThose blue eyes reminded me of the thief from that night, my face goes pale and the blue eyed boy holds me thinking i am about to fall down. My heartbeat quickens, each thud echoing the growing intensity of my apprehension. The air feels heavier, as if infused with the weight of my anxieties. I trace the source of my fear, but it eludes definition, a shape-shifting specter that refuses to be named. My hands, once steady, betray the turmoil within. Fingers tremble slightly as I try to grasp onto something tangible, something to anchor me in this sea of uncertainty.Yet, the fear seems to seep into my very bones, rendering me powerless against its encroachment."Are you okay?" He asks and Luciano moves me closer to him. He eyes the boy and a face I have never seen before takes hold on Luciano's face."You don't know me?" I ask and he nods his head."You are mistaking me for someone else," He says and I hear his French accent. "Oh, I am terribly sorry, I thought you were someone
WILLOW"Alright everyone, the night was lovely and I couldn't have done it all without you all, but tonight we have a lot of special guests from different places around his here with us to celebrate our annual two pairs ice skating," She says and I stare at the Dani. "From your blue eyes I can tell you are one of the special guests," I say to him and he chuckles. "You are not completely french either, meaning you didn't grow up here, you were born somewhere English and your french English accent is something you learnt in order to fit in with the rest, it is proper if I was in your shoes I would probably do the same," I say and he look at me impressed."Somebody's degree in school did not waste," He says and I chuckle."But tell me Why do you say so?" He asks and I shrug. "Your perfect blue eyes. So eye issues it shows it was properly taken care of , and your skin, it says a lot," I say and he smiles."Soon they would soon start giving honours, I have to be on the other seat Becaus
Willow.I rub my hands together as luciano releases his hands around my waist. “Where did you get the necklace then?” He asks as he turns his entire body in front of me.He is going to the mad, I know he hates it when I lie to him.“Marcus, he gave me the necklace to wear, I didn’t want to tell you he was the one so you wouldn't get mad,” I explain to him.“I have worked with Marcus before, he knows I am married to you so why would he do something like that?” Luciano asks as he runs his hands in his hair. “Marcus has the money to pick anyone he wants to pick, he has everything he needs I don’t see why he should be following you? There has to be more to this,” Luciano says as he rubs his hands together. At least he isn’t mad that I didn’t tell him.“Now, we know who the blue eyed intruder is,” I say as he heaved a sigh.“I will try to get a word with him, for now let’s just try to find a way to forget about everything, put him in our past,” He says as he takes my hands in his. He
WILLOWThe icy air fills my lungs as I grab on to Luciano, the only thing I can hear is my loud yelling and the wind dancing past my ear. I feel alive like a happy child, the feeling is strange, dangerous and exciting. Not even a single groan left Luciano mouth as the ride went back down. I close my eyes as the air pushes by my hair as we move back down in full speed.This is already my tenth ride of the night. we reach below and my head feels light. It takes me a few seconds before I can get myself to rise from my chair.I still had a killer hold on Luciano’s hands. He glances at me and he chuckled.“Your hair looks like you have just been fucked in the worst way possible,” He rakes his eyes above my head before he moves his fingers on top of it.He tries to fix it up with his hands but the slight puff of hair makes his obvious that his attempt’s were futile. “Well at least the sex looks mild,” He smirks annoyingly and I roll my eyes at him.“You bought me here,” I say.“Stop whin
WILLOWWe were back from France, although I didn’t want the experience to end. I had a life back here and my duty as Luciano’s wife.I place my hands over my lips as I think back to the last kiss we had at the top of the wheel. I glance over at Luciano as he fixes his burgundy tie. This is the first time in months since I have seen luciano in a color other grey, black or crème.His grey eyes falls on me and I draw in a sharp breathe because he just caught me staring up at him.“Do I look that attractive?” His asks with a sheepish grin.“I am just surprised to see you in color,” I say as I quickly rake my eyes across his body. “Ashley, forced me. Claiming you would like it,” He throws a stare at me before he returns on the screen of his phone.“I don’t know why you feel insecure when you could literally wear a wet sponge and women would still be after you like ants and sugar,” I compliment indirectly before I look away.“Technically, that means you find me attractive?” I can hear the
WILLOWKenzo’s hands rests on my arms and I shiver from the roughness of the top of his fingers. I move forward slightly losing his touch before I turn around to see his face. “Long time no see mi amore, how was your trip in France?” He asks as he runs his hands through his slicked back hair.“Fuck off Kenzo,” I growl at him and the smile on his face only becomes bigger. “This wasn’t you reaction when you were dancing with me a few days back ,” He says as he moves back.What the fuck is wrong with him? What is he even talking about. “You don’t have to act like a lunatic all the time,” I say to him before I take Luciano’s hands. “As you can see I am busy with my husband,” I say before I turn towards the crowd. Luciano did not oblige, he followed me instead. “Mrs roman,” An interview calls and I smile at her. I recognized her from E! The last time I had an interview in my fathers event she was the same person.“Would just give me a minute or two? A short interview people are kill
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
