Lucious didn't realize how hungry he was, until he started eating the food, and he only looked up, after he was done eating."You want more? She asked him, and he nodded like a child, she was quick to scoop him another, she was happy he was eating well, that should help him keep to his threat, or promise, then she got up to get him fruits like banana and pear, she learnt from Aunt Michelle that, they are his favorites. She also learnt that His favorite drink is Tiger nut juice, Sometimes, he takes Mango, she had all that ready for him. When she brought the drinks to him, he smiles, and looked up at her, before speaking, with a coarse voice."You are going to wish you didn't give me this drink, you know? Lauren didn't understand at first, but then, she remembered that she had heard that Tiger nut drink, usually serve as aphrodisiac for men, and sometimes, women, and that was when she smiles shyly. She only wanted him to enjoy himself, not really about the sex, even though she wouldn'
Cynthia could not believe all her plans were ruined already, she was angry all through, and she refused speaking with anyone, not even her daughter, who kept asking her questions, she would rather not answer to, but she resolved that there was no way, she could allow herself be humiliated that way without doing anything, also, if she does nothing, then she would have lost her chances of ever making more money and getting to school to study further. As a junior nurse, she thought of all the chances she has to make money. She could sell babies to wealthy couples who couldn't get, she could traffick girls, sending them to prostitute and get her money, but none of her thought seem possible, if she gets caught, she would be ruined for life, so she decided to take the final step. She already knows the reason behind the marriage between Lucious and Lauren, and since Lucious is protecting Lauren, causing her not to have any way of getting to Lauren, then, she would have to hurt her in a diff
61It was the persistent call on Lauren's phone, that distracted their evening. She initially didn't want to take the call, because she didn't want anything distracting them, but with the way her phone kept ringing, she knew she would have to take the call. One look at Lucious, who also didn't want any distraction, but knew the call must be important, he nodded for her to get her phone, while he lay back admiring her, and touching her hair. She has made his day, and somehow, he feels he could actually start anew with her. While still admiring her, her next reaction, caused him to sit up."What is it? he asked, looking so worried. She had just taken a call, and she looks like she just lost a kidney. Lauren, didn't know how to tell him what just happened, though she knows she is going to have to tell him, but it was too heavy for her. She started breathing hard, panting as though she had been running for a while. Lucious places his hands on her chest to help her calm down, but she he
Lauren woke up in a sweat. She didn't seem to be aware of her environment, she looked around her, and breathed hard, then she looked out her window, it was dark everywhere, no one was insight. She could feel her eyes swollen from crying, and her heart aching from worrying too much, Therefore, she decided that she was going to go to the sick home, her mother was supposed to have left there anyways, but she just wanted to be sure, of her complete healing. She wiped the tears that found it way out, believing that she would find her no matter what, she tells herself that she would go to the sick home, and demand for her mother.There is no way, they will tell her, they don't know what happened. The more she thought about it, the more her tears stream down. She wouldn't leave everything to Lucious, but as soon as she opened the door, she was stopped by Lucious, who have been busy, making calls all through.One look at him and she could already tell that, he was also worried."It is late i
Pamela, who recently just started dating someone, learnt about the incident, and she started calling Lauren, but she wasn't taking her call. She didn't want to tell her friend about the guy until she was sure, but she would still not tell her anything, especially with the news saying her mother was kidnapped. When someone finally took the call, Pamela was not too surprised, hearing Lucious's voice."Do you ever allow the owner of the phone make use of her phone? She asked sarcastically, referring to the other time, when he took the call."She cannot take her call right now, and that is why I am taking it for her". The usual vibe of mockery she use to get in his tone was replaced with sadness, so she had to ask."Is she okay? She was very worried."She was knocked down by an incoming vehicle, she is in the hospital, and she hasn't opened her eyes since then". No matter how much Lucious tries to sound like the hard guy everyone knows him to be, he still finds himself breaking down, just
Mrs fonder opened her eyes hours later in a dark room, and she could only wail. "I hate the dark, please bring the light, I hate the dark". Her voice attracted some thugs to her, who immediately shut her mouth with a robe, and she could no longer make a loud sound, she still struggled, until she passed out again. "What is the plan, this woman might die here? One of the thugs asked Cynthia, who also, doesn't seem to know what the plan is."If she dies, I don't care, I just want to hurt that bitch. She thinks she could just come into Lucious's life, and make any difference. If she only knows half the things I did to Sydney, she wouldn't try to double cross me ever again. I want to teach her a lesson, a lesson she will never forget in a hurry". She expressed with anger, written all over her face."This is you getting angry, over a man, but your anger, has nothing to do with us. We are here for the money, so if there is no plan, I don't think we are useful here, which means, you have to
By the time they arrived at the designated location, the phone rang again. This time,the voice on the other end sounded sharper, colder. "You have less than nineteen hours now", the caller growled. "And just so you know, I am very serious, you have enough time to speak with your billionaire husband, because once it gets to fifteen hours, i will start making her scream, your choice dear".Lucious's lips curved into a smile, but his eyes held no humor, just a calculated determination. He turned to his men and gave a subtle nod. "We are close", he murmured. "Too close for that bastard to realize what's coming". His voice dropped to a steely whisper as he added, "This is going to be war".He made a quick decision and pulled out his phone. "Track this call", he ordered one of his men, who instantly got to work on his laptop. Meanwhile, the number they thought he was dialing, was that if the kidnapper that have been calling, but he dialed that of Cynthia. A number he hadn't called for mont
Cynthia sat on the cold hard floor, her eyes darting from one indifferent face to another. The weight of her betrayal hung in the air like a suffocating fog. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she pleaded, "please Lucious, listen to me, I didn't know they will go this far, I was just clouded by anger". But her cries, fell on deaf ears, and even the men that is supposed to be heren, turned away, their disgust, evident on their faces and in their actions.Meanwhile, Lucious stood at the entrance, his gaze, fixated on the stretcher carrying Mrs Fonder. His heart clenched at how frail she looked, her pallor a stark contrast to the lively, though sick, but lively woman he once met, and have had the opportunity to speak with. With worry in his eyes, and fear that she might not make it, he ordered his me to clear the path and rush her to the hospital. He knew Lauren would be there, but he needed to ensure, that her mother was stable before bringing them together. He owe her that much, since o
Lauren spent the next few hours at her mother's bedside, her heart filled with both relief and confusion. Mrs Fonder's health was steadily improving, which should have made Lauren very happy and less bothered about other things, but her mind kept wandering to Lucious. She couldn't wait to be back home with him. She couldn't wait to have him close to her, to have him pin her to the wall and kiss her by force. The way he left earlier felt abrupt, almost as if he were avoiding her.Mrs Fonder kept looking at her daughter, wondering why she looked so distant and unhappy."Lauren, you seem distracted", she said softly, her voice, though weak, yet filled with motherly intuition.Lauren forced a smile, brushing back her mother's hair. "I'm just glad you are okay mom".Her mother gave her a knowing look. " I know you are glad I am okay, but I feel your worry look has more to do with Lucious". Upon hearing his name, Lauren's cheeks flushed. "Why would you think so mom? She asked, but Mrs Fon
The next morning, Lauren woke to the sound of her mother's weak voice calling her name. "Lauren". Her eyes shot open, as she rushed to her mother's side, she waited all night to hear her call her name, but she seem to be too weak, whoever that Pamela had been, Lauren wish to crush her like a grape. "Mom! You are awake! She cries, tears of relief streaming down her face."She took me, I didn't know who she was, but she took me to a very dark place, and wouldn't even let me sleep nor drink, I thought I would die, I thought I would never get to see you again". She kept going on and on, while Lauren could only cry openly."Whoever she is, she will pay for what she did to you, but don't worry, you are never going to be placed in the dark again". Lauren assured her, and she let out a faint smile."He said so too". She responded, and Lauren wondered whom she was talking about."I...I saw him. Lucious. He brought me here, he told me he would deal with the Lady. That kady seem to want Lucious
Lucious walked through the hospital's sterile halls, his footsteps slow and deliberate, but his thought wavering as he tries to understand why he feels the way he feels for Lauren, when he should actually be glad that she doesn't feel the same way, which will enable him to let go for her, as soon as possible. As he walked in, he couldn't shake the memory of Lauren's kiss. It had been brief, unexpected and laced with emotions, perhaps that is what he wants his heart to believe, perhaps she was just grateful, but there was something deeper in the way her lips pressed against his. His head, trying to push the though aside. It wasn't the time to overthink.Why should he over think a simple kiss, when they had done more than kissing, they have had sex couple of times, and she had really loved it, they had both loved it, so why should a simple quick and simple kiss, make him feel that way?As he reached the hospital lobby, his phone buzzed. It was a call from one of his men."Sir, Cynthia h
