Shaking his head, after the slam of the door to his face, he says."I guess I will have to come back". Lucious spoke with a coarse voice and turned back.Cynthia frowned, as she noticed that Lucious seem attracted by what he just saw, so she decided to try and seduce him."I thought you were going there to have a serious talk with her, why then did you go there and just stood there transfixed as though she is all that? Lucious turned to look at her, and looked away, but Cynthia wouldn't let it be, she kept talking and causing him to get angry, while touching him, hoping to get him to touch her.He used to want to have her, but suddenly, she has been forcing herself on him, while he keep running away.When she saw that seducing him wasn't working, she resorted to complaining again.Lucious was now so irritated by her, that he gently spoke, but with firmness in his voice."I think you have over stayed your welcome, you should leave now". Cynthia could not believe her ears, she was stun
Lauren, filled with embarrassment of the incident that happened in the night, woke up earlier than usual. She didn't bother looking at the bed, she knew he couldn't have woken up by that time, it was still too early, so she just gathered the things she slept with and ran out of the room, opening the dorr with caution, believing that he was still in bed. While preparing to leave, she didn't want to make so much noise, so she gently went into her room, wanting to go and shower, she had undressed, still with the same stilt, she entered the bathroom, but was shocked that Lucious was in her bathroom."What the hell! She exclaims, looking for something to grab immediately, that will serve as a covering for her, but the towel was too far, the only thing she could do is run back into her room and grab her clothes."Why are you always coming to me, and trying to seduce me by all means". Lucious defended himself, with a smirk. He was totally naked, but he didn't seem to care. Lauren shook h
Lauren couldn't concentrate all through, she kept thinking about Lucious and what almost happened between them, and how he just went into hiding. She couldn't tell what he was hiding from, but somehow, she wish she knows, and she could help him ease all his problems.She noticed it was affecting her concentration at work."Why do I even care? She asked out loud, while trying to get a file to Doctor Carter. "Are you okay? He asked, after she dropped the file and is about to leave.Lauren was shocked. Does it mean she is that obvious that everyone around could see that she isn't okay? "I am fine, why do you ask? She inquired."I don't know, but you look lost, but if you say you are okay, no problems". trying not to sound too attached. "Try and check on the patient in ward five, before you leave for Houston". He tells her, and she nodded.She is permanently on morning shift, she will be around till Pamela resumes, before she leaves for school, and then she will retire home to face h
Weeks later, Lauren was already getting used to Lucious's constant temptation, of showing off his body, but never coming close to her. It was now boring and annoying to her, even though she still craves to have him close. But one major thing was that Lucious seem to be avoiding her since then. She hardly hear him tell her to come spend the night in his room, and she never bothered to be a caring nurse by going to him, she loves the fact that he was avoiding her. One early morning, as she was getting ready to go to work, Lucious showed up behind her, with a red eye. He looks sad, and she could tell.He looks like he has been drinking a lot, Lauren looked worried, and she forgot all about enjoying her freedom."Are you okay? The concern look on her face was charming. And he smiles."Yes I am okay. You have to come home earlier, there is a place, I would like you to go with me". Upon hearing him say that, Lauren blushed, even though she doesn't know where he plans to take her, she st
When they got outside, he was busy checking her out, with a concerned look on his face, that even got Lauren uncomfortable. "Are you okay? Did they touch you? I am so sorry, I had to tell Derick to come get me". Lauren looked shocked and she had to shift a little from him. "Is he really apologizing? She whispered."You say? He bent down to hear what she said, but she shook her head."I am fine, just that I was embarrassed, but thanks for coming through for me". She tells him, and he nodded his head. She has something else to say, but she decided against it, she isn't ready to spoil the mood, she might ask him now, and everything about him will change, which will in turn, hurt her, so she swallowed her thought. "Let's get out of here". He says. While they were at the back seat, he moved close to her, while Lauren moved away, getting close to the door, she doesn't want him to think she is being a baby. Even though she so wish, she could rest her head on his body."Why did you ch
Throughout the party, the look Lucious was giving her was causing her to blush. She didn't need him to say he likes what he sees, she could tell from his look and the way he was all over her. She smiled to the camera at will, and she didn't mind any other thing. Even if it is for the night, she was happy, and that is all that matters to her.Pamela called her severally, and she couldn't take her call, because she was in the company of so many prestigious people, and the place was also noisy, of she takes her call, she woukd end up shouting, and maybe not hear anything, but the moment she was able to get away from them, she went outside, where it is less noisy, to call her back. The way she was calling, she must have something important to share with her."What I am seeing is it real or some game your psycho husband is playing at? She asked as soon as she picked. "Don't worry, when I come to work, I will tell you all about it". Lauren tells her, and ended the call, as she could alrea
She started with her earrings, as she gently placed them in his waiting hands and he broke his eye contact with her, just to keep the earrings. Lauren was thinking he would stop her, but he turned back and started looking at her. Then she started off with the shoe she had Worn, gradually she was done removing almost everything except her dress, she was struggling with the zip, but Lucious turned her swiftly, though he paused, to take a good look at her flare in admiration, then he closed his eyes for a flit moment, and dropped the zip in a hurry, she didn't want to turn to face him, because she was almost naked, but he turned her back to face him. "Now you don't have anything stopping you from taking off the rest". He tells her, and she pulled down her dress from her left shoulder, followed by the right shoulder, and when she was left with nothing more, the dress found it way down, and she stepped out of it, while still looking at him. She was left with her bra and panties. They wer
That was all she had to say to get him to lose himself to her, like an angry tiger. He came back to her, and started kissing her lips again, this time with a much hungrier vibe. She felt she was going to lose her breath, and maybe die, if he doesn't stop, he was pulling her close, inserting his tongue inside of her mouth, causing her to suck on his tongue, while he kisses her desperately. She have never been kissed before, even in her dreams, the kisses were not this intense. He wasn't acting like himself, that is, running his hands round her body while he kisses her, Maybe those were the times, he wanted to just tease her and go away. But she likes it that way, so she decided to help him. She pulls his hands, and placed them on her breast. He fondled with them, folding them and caressing them, causing her to moan hungrily.Seeing her reaction to his hands on her breast, he asked. "Do you like it? and not waiting for her to answer, he went back to kissing her, she had to hummed h
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
