She was drowning in debt, she needed to pay off her mother's medical bill, but working, schooling and paying bills the same time was just too much for her, and her insurance could not cover it, she was contracted to marry a psycho for five years, to help him buy enough time to get over the loss of his wife, but she fell inlove with him in the long run, and he treats her so well, that she also fell for him. Unsure of what he feels truly feels for her, for he only calls her by the name of his dead wife. She tries to make herself relevant in his life. But What happens when he regains his senses, and realize he has been living with his wife's look alike, and not his wife?
View MoreLauren couldn't wait for him to meet her up, she started running down to greet him, even though he was signaling to her to be careful, she was so happy to see him, that she didn't notice the log in front of her, she hit her leg, just before reaching him and tumbled over, hitting her stomach on the floor, and passed out immediately.Lucious rushed her in panic, frantically trying to get her to open her eyes all to know avail."Please save the baby". She whispered, and that was when Lucious panic some more, then he realized, staying down wasn't the solution, he carried her into his car, and drove off to the hospital. If he had known, he would have just taken her call,she wouldn't have felt the enthusiasm of seeing him back that way.If he had known,the would have just stayed back at home, and they would have both spoken over the phone, she would still be standing.All these and more were his thought as the nurses rush her to the emergency room and wouldn't come out. He didn't know whom
Lucious didn't leave immediately. He hid behind an oak tree, facing the house, he took pleasure in watching and admiring how Lauren nursed her mother and tossed her to sleep, before coming to stand by the window. At first, Lucious felt she was looking at him, because of how she was smiling, but then, he noticed that she was the necklace he had gotten her. "She is thinking of me". he says, with a smile. He felt like going back to her, they could both sit outside the house till dawn, but that would be selfish of him, since she would be going to work and to school the very next day, if she doesn't get enough sleep, how is she supposed to focus the next day. He waited until she rubbed her eye in tiredness, he knew at that time, she is about to retire, but he still stayed back to watch her leave the window side, before he started making it to his car.When he got to his car, he sat, without touching anything for what seem like forever. His mind, a whirlwind of desire and emotions. "Why ar
"I want to go back to my house, and if you are not going to come with me, just because you got married, then, you can stay with your husband, I will go alone". Her voice were loud and very angry. Lucious knew that this time, he was not going to have the last laugh. Lauren turned to look at him, but he was quick to look away at his phone, he was too scared to see what her eyes held."But mother, it is still the same if you stay with us, we will all be together as one big. family. my husband has needs, I cannot just abandoned him? She says, trying to convince her again, but Mrs Fonder didn't look back at her, she closed her eyes, and pressed her lips together. Lauren saw that it was fruitless talking with her about it, she decided she should meet with Lucious instead, they could work something out.She met him half way, and one look at him, told her that if she say that thing she wants to say, it will break him, but she was shocked, when he looked up at her, with her smile on his face,
Lauren was initially confused as to why they didn't want her to leave the house. When she woke up, and looked around her, and didn't see Lucious, she didn't feel bad, she just felt he probably just stepped out and will be back soon, but after waiting for what seem like forever, she decided going to the hospital to be with her mother, would be ideal, but then, they wouldn't let her. she hates being held against her own will, it makes her feel like a slave. She also didn't want to disobey Lucious, since the guard wasn't rude, he was very nice actually, and he explained calmly to her, that the bosses needed her to rest. She touched her belly and smiled. While in her room, thinking about what their lives would be like, when their baby finally arrives, she heard a knock on her door, and came the guard's voice almost immediately."Boss says I should bring you to the hospital". She knew there was no way, he would allow her drive, but it was better than not allowing her out and all. She has
Going back to the hospital the next day, Lucious made sure, he didn't wake Lauren, he didn't want to do anything that would stress her, as a matter of fact, making love to her that night, had felt like stress, though he had wanted it so much, he still felt he was stressing her. He stayed up all night watching her sleep, When ever she seem distress, even while sleeping, he would become worried.The little insect that came close to her face, was immediately killed, when he could have shuhh it off. He didn't want anything coming close to her. As he walked into the hospital, he could only ask himself. "Is this what it means to be in love?He probably had never been in love, but he had been with Sydney, he loved her, he may not have known how to show it, but he surely did love her. Maybe we love differently, maybe it is a different kind of love. He thought to himself, as he opened the door to Mrs Fonder's room, he felt a new surge of hope, especially when the old woman smiled at him, and
When he stopped, they both had a long stare at each other, and then all of a sudden, they started laughing. They laughed so hard that Lauren soon had tears in her eyes."Why are you laughing? he asked, still laughing himself."I really don't know why I am laughing, I guess I am laughing because you are laughing". She replied, still having the smirk on. "What about you, why are you laughing? She asked him too, and he answered the same thing. telling her, he is laughing, because she is laughing, they both ended up laughing hard again, and holding each other close, and finally concluded, with a passionate kiss.They both left Mrs Fonder at the hospital with Pamela, while they went home, to cement what it is, they were feeling for each other.While on the ride home, Lucious tells her the complete truth."You know everything written about me in the papers are not entirely true". he says, as he kept stealing glances at her, while they converse. He wanted to make sure, she was having no doub
Mrs Fonder's eyes was wide open, looking at the troubled man in front of her. A man she has come to love, for the sake of her daughter. She couldn't tell, if his troubles has to do with her daughter, but she was willing to hear him, since he has been nothing but nice to her. Especially, since he seem to feel comfortable, talking with her. They have shared so many things, within the few hours he spent with her, and she has gotten to know, the sort of person she is.The doctor walked in, still having the same smile he had, when he announced Lauren pregnant. he handed him a tiny paper, and said his congratulations again.Lucious stared at the tiny slip of paper in his trembling hands, his heart pounding like a drum echoing in an empty hall. The words were simple, yet they carried the weight of a thousand storms. Pregnant. Positive. His breath hitched as he leaned back against the couch, the room suddenly too small, the air too heavy. He was going to be a father. Everything seem to be ha
Lucious was so scared, he didn't even take note of the waste all over his shirt, he carried her in a bridal style, and rushed her, following the lead of one of the nurse, that rushed to help out. The doctor was immediately called, and he followed her inside. Lucious wanted to go in, but he was stopped by a nurse."I am sorry, but you cannot go in with her" Lucious nodded, and stood outside, but he couldn't hide how scared he feels. He kept panting and pacing around the corridor, while waiting for the door to open. Anytime the door opens, he wants to know what is happening with her, finally the first nurse that had opened the door for her, to be taken in, walked out the door, and she had a smile on. She has been revived, we are running series of test on her, to know the possible cause of fainting, so you don't have to worry". She says, looking excitedly at Lucious, she even touched his arm seductively, but Lucious was too busy, with his thought, that thinking about what she just did,
Lauren slept on the floor, without knowing what the time says, she only woke up in the middle of the night. She couldn't quite explain why she was sleeping so much, even when she wants to keep her eyes open, she will end up sleeping. She grabbed her purse and headed down the stairs to the door, she needed to go and be with her mother, but she was stopped by a guard."What are you doing? she asked, surprised that anyone would stop her from going out in her house."The boss says, I shouldn't let you go anywhere, if you wake up late". he says, and she checked the time. It was pretty late, but she thought Lucious had already traveled, how come he still wants to dictate what happens in her life. He had told her anything can change, after five years, so she will have to live her life like a prisoner till then."So where is your boss now? She asked, folding her arms across her chest."I don't know, but that was the instruction given". he replied, and went back to his duty post. Lauren tried
Getting his hands off her, was almost impossible, even though they have been married for years, whenever he is with her, it feels like they just started a few minutes ago. Lucious doesn't mind, having a family with Sydney. If sex is the only way one could have a baby, they do that all the time, for he is super active, and he loves having sex so much, that he couldn't stay a day, without it. Looking at Sydney from the corner of his eyes, he could tell, that she is very happy about going to the Beach, while he is aesthetic, because he won't be able to get enough of her, but unknown to him, that Sydney, also seem to have a secret to unvail to him. She was avoiding meeting his eyes, for fear, that her eyes, might give her away, but Lucious knows exactly how to get her to look at him. He slipped his hands under her skirt, and she giggled, but still did not look at him. Lucious moved his hands further, until, he could feel a lacy material.
