Lulu felt so glad, she loved how everything was going. "I'm in," she said, hopping out of bed. He caught her hand and stopped her before she could go any further. "Relax I still need to go to a meeting, later today when I come back home." She nodded fast. * Lulu did everything with ease. "You seem so impatient today miss," Millet commented after watching how Lulu kept pacing back and forth. "I really am, I can't wait for David to return from wherever he is so we can go on our date," by now she had grown much more comfortable with calling him by his name in front of everyone. "I'm glad to see that things are blooming so much between you and Mr Carlson." "Speaking of blooming, should we go and check on the seeds we planted earlier, let's find out if they've started to bloom." Millet followed her into the garden and watched how Lulu clapped her hands in joy, "no way, that was fast." "I think the rain from yesterday did so much wonders to help them grow out fast." "You're right
Days earlier "Tell them I'm ready," Rose waved her assistant off, "tell them I'm equally going to get their team fired, what kind of agency wouldn't reply to emails and just change the schedule?" She was on her phone when her assistant returned minutes later, looking panicked. "What is it?" She frowned. "Miss, the agency says they no longer want to work with you, they dropped all the brand deals." "What?!" "I don't..." "Have they gone mad? No one ever rejects me, they will have to deal with the consequences, I do the rejection, get the legal team on it right away, let them deal with this company." Her assistant said in a shaky tone, "I'm afraid there's more problems ma'am." "What is it?" "We have even more emails from all the other endorsements saying the same thing, no one wants to work with you ma'am." The terrified assistant recounted the news. "I don't think I should ..." Rose pushed her out of the way, "what's all these? I'll go speak to the management officially." Sh
LETS NEVER MEET AGAIN Lulu let go of David’s hands that had been holding her tightly. She knew she cold hear the echo of voices around her but she couldn’t make any of it out. They all sounded like they were coming from a distance. She started off with slow steps backwards and then more and soon she tried to take off but David’s strong grip secured her in place. “Let me go,” she said, her voice so small as she tried to recover from the shock that was currently taking over her body. “Let her be!” Rose cut in, “it’s not like you care about her, you and I know you only really put on a fake marriage because you wanted to be able to contest for the post of…” “That’s enough!” David barked at her. “Do you think he actually loves you?” She raised her voice, “he’s only using you , that’s what he always does…” By now the security had managed to pull Rose Miller out of the house. David approached Lulu but she took a step away from him. “Stay back…” she warned. His heart shat
A PHONE CALL Tina's house was just the way Lulu would have expected it. If she was not in a sad mood, she would have commented on it but she couldn't care less. "Welcome. Just make yourself feel at home," Tina persuaded. The house was mostly white and every color was stocked with unopened items. Tina smiled,"What do you want to do now? What do you want to watch?" "I'm fine." Lulu said. "Should I get you water?" Millet offered. "Don't worry, you both are guests at my house while you are here, so let me do it." Before Millet could even argue further, Tina had returned with a glass of water. Lulu buried her face in her palms, thinking about how special the night had felt before all of this. "How do you feel now?" Tina said with one hand on her shoulder. "My brother is a jerk. How could he do something so serious? I'm going to talk to my brother.""I hope grandfather doesn't find out about this. Rose Miller can expose things because her brother has favor with the media," Lulu s
GOING "what do you mean?" Lulu asked Steven, worry filling her voice. "It's been since yesterday he won't take any medication and before he started to refuse anyone from going into his room, the only thing that kept leaving his mouth was your name. Lulu closed her eyes tightly, "Steven why are you calling me right now when you know you can go visit a doctor?" "I just to thought to let you know " She hung up the phone after a while, "I don't want to know." Her consciece couldn't take it. He was stuck in her head, why was he suddenly sick. She went downstairs to join Millet and Tina who had to order dinner for her. "You're here? I was just about to call you to come join us..." Tina said. "Yes miss, you slept the entire day off." Lulu dived into the food unable to hold back her hunger anymore. "My favorite TV series is about to start it's a crime romance reality t...are you even listening?" Lulu realized that that Tina had been talking to her this whole time "Isn't there re
A HOT MAN It was barely a day after she left and his mansion looked nostalgic from afar. "Did I make a mistake to come here?" She thought as Tina's driver pulled up outside, waiting for her to decide whether or not she wanted to go through with it. "Go in," she finally ordered. Some of his security were glad to see her and they couldn't even hide the expression on their face. "Are things that bad?" She wondered. She got inside the mansion and headed straight to his bedroom. Steven was nowhere to be seen and there was a tight air amongst the staff that was present. She turned to one of the cleaners, "where's Steven?" "I have no idea ma'am." She paused before adding, "and Mr Carlson?" "He's been in his room since yesterday and he has banned anyone from coming in." Lulu pulled her phone out to call Steven, "where are you?" "I had to run a quick errand." "For who? I thought you claimed your boss was sick!" "That doesn't stop me from doing my job." She frowned at his words a
IN HIS ARMS "I'm glad you called me sooner," Doctor Lopez said after she'd run the IV through his body. "Is he fine now?" Lulu worried, fear taking her grip. "He will be, he had not treated himself the first time he got sick so the build up of stress forced everything out on him and he had a really high dose of alcohol last night so that didn't help." Lulu sighed. His body seemed like it was still burning up. She sat next to him the whole time because even though he was unconscious, he didn't let go of her hands even once. Lulu was undecided on what to do. Doctor Lopez smiled like she could read Lulu's mind, "don't worry he will be fine, I'll take my leave now if there's nothing else." "Actually I did want to talk to you but that will be done on a much personal level later." Doctor Lopez nodded, "I can already sense there's something wrong even if you can't tell me now, I'll be waiting for your call." She watched as doctor Lopez took her leave and soon it was just her and
I CANT USE MY HANDS Lulu wanted to get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night but his grip on her tightly secured her against the bed. "What are you doing?" She whispered. "You promised you wouldn't leave." "And I'm not, I'm only going to the bathroom." "I'll come with you." "David are you insane? You still haven't gained proper consciousness and your fever is only just starting to come down, it's the bathroom, it's not Rome." David shrugged in her hands but he knew he didn't have enough strength to fight back so he let her go. She returned to laying in his arms, "so did that kill you?" "I almost died," he agreed before falling back asleep. The next morning she got out of bed. "You're no longer burning up," she said, "and you seem to have regained your consciousness properly by now."She watched his sleeping body. "And I know you're awake because I caught you watching my face multiple times through the night, so I'm going to take my leave now," that got him to s
Lulu smiled at the sight of her two favorite people playing together. She joined them, helping Sage grab small handfuls of sand. “Look, Sage! We’re building a castle for you.” As they worked together, their laughter filled the air. It was a beautiful moment, one Lulu would always cherish. “Okay, S
After Tina and Steven left, David and Lulu lay on the couch, wrapped in each other’s arms. The afternoon sun streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow in the living room. Lulu sighed contentedly, resting her head on David’s chest. “I love days like this. Just you, me, and Sage.” “Me too,”
Lulu and David were still basking in the warmth of their reunion when there was a knock at the door. Lulu looked at David, her eyes bright with curiosity. “Who could that be?” she asked, glancing at the clock. It was still early in the afternoon. “I don’t know. Want me to check?” David replied, ge
Mirabel wiped at her eyes, her tears falling freely now. “I’m so sorry, David. I didn’t mean for it to go this far.” David shook his head, disgusted by her words. “Sorry isn’t enough, Mirabel. Not for what you did.” Mirabel looked up at him, desperation in her eyes. “Please, David. Don’t fire me.
David slowly opened his eyes, feeling the warmth of Lulu beside him. Her arm was draped over his chest, and he could hear her soft breathing. They hadn’t slept like this in a long time, wrapped up in each other, the way they used to when everything felt right. For a moment, it felt like everything h
They sat there in silence for a while before David leaned in to plant a kiss on her lips, they stayed that way for a moment before he laid her on her back, slightly hovering above her. it was only a moment before they were both completely naked, panting hard as they both moaned desperately, wanting
Lulu stood there, her arms crossed, staring at David. The silence in the room was thick, and David could feel the tension radiating from her. Her lips quivered, her eyes sharp and filled with suspicion. “You could be lying to me,” she said suddenly, her voice low but filled with hurt. David’s hear
David parked the car in the driveway, stepping out quickly. He waited as Lulu pulled up behind him. She got out slowly, holding Sage close to her chest. Her face was pale, and she looked drained. David walked toward her, his eyes full of worry. “Lulu…” he began softly. Lulu looked at him, exhaus
Lulu stood frozen, staring at James. Her heart pounded in her chest as the shock of seeing him still lingered. “How did you…?” Lulu started, her voice shaky. “How did you get out of jail? You were in England. What are you doing here?” James glanced around nervously. “I can’t say too much,” he re
