Lauren and Cynthia were now alone in the house. Lauren came out of the room as soon Lucious was out. She glared at Cynthia with hate and so much anger in her eyes. From the little she has gathered, Cynthia doesn't want Lucious wholeheartedly, yet, she doesn't want any other woman to be with him happily. she parades herself as the only woman, Lucious have truly been in love with."What are you still doing here, she asked her, looking her directly in the eye. Cynthia was angry about her attitude, because even Sydney never responded to her, nor talk back at her, she was scared of her, and she always knew that her husband Lucious was into her."I think I overestimated you, you seem to have something that keeps drawing him to you, and he doesn't want to hurt you, but I promise you, I will do everything in my power, to make sure, he divorces you. After all, this marriage was built on lies and deceit". She says, then hissed. Lauren watch her leave, happy that she had left, and hoping to s
Early the next day, Lauren woke up, hoping to do something better with her time, she had been sulking and crying all through the night, she hope for a better day, that wouldn't have anything to do with Lucious. And somehow, she have her day figured out. She would give him his medication as usual, make the meal since he has asked aunt Michelle to stop again, wanting her to do all the chores in the house. Then she would read books, to keep her brain alive, until they decide to pay her fees, after all, it was part of what they promised her.She got up and looked herself in the mirror, but all she could see was Lucious behind her, holding her close, just like he did, the other night.She wants to hate him so much, but she doesn't know what reason to give herself, she still blames herself for what happened, and since he has made it clear that it was a mistake, it is best she forgets him. As soon as she came out of her room, Lucious was already up, and he had a file in hand, waiting for h
Cynthia was so angry, that even after hitting her legs, to get his attention, he didn't even look that concerned. She had to pull him by the face, and he turned to inquire why she did that, and that was when she spoke with so much hurt in her heart."Why were you looking at her like that? She inquires, jealously."What sort of question is that? and what are you doing here anyway? Aren't you working today? Cynthia looked shocked, he had never spoken to her that way before, not even when she broke up with him, he had always been more interested in pleasing her, especially because of something she has on him, but now he was speaking back at her, as though she mean nothing to him. She couldn't stop acting stubborn and mean, but for that time, she had to come down, and speak calmly to him, she has always had something against him, something she uses, which have never failed. though she didn't want to go straight into telling him her mind or using her usual threat, she decided to start with
Lauren was furious, and scared at the same time, but she didn't get the chance to attack her before she walked away. She fell to the ground crying. This was her life, she had dreamt so much about what she is going to do and how everything will flow, after she signs the documents and scan them to Houston only for everything to be torn into shreds, Cynthia have done this to her, just for a man who doesn't seem to notice her, she raced outside, thinking she would find Cynthia, but she was already far gone, she sat outside, and started crying. They had told her that she needed to email them 24 hours after receiving the mail, it is already closed to the time, she doesn't know if there is going to be any penalty if she doesn't respond, as at when due, and she doesn't want to have any reason to bother Lucious again, since he already have been nice enough to get her in and pay every fee in full, it will be foolish of her, to carelessly, lose what she was supposed to protect. She was still
Lauren hasten up with the bath, she actually just washed off the soap from her face, then rushed out, he found him in the living room, and he only said in few words."Fix me something to eat". She found something light to wear, immediately fixed him something to eat, but he was no longer in the living room where he had been a while ago, he is just acting as though he is a wizard, with some disappearing abilities. When he walks into the house, no one would know, and his car, makes no sound, and when he leaves the house or the room no one would still know. Lauren held the food in her hands, wondering if she is dealing with a psycho, or a wizard. She soon heard voices outside, close to the garden, she looked, and he was there, alone, but there are guards like everywhere. Lauren went to him to inquire if she should bring the food there, and he only nodded. She rushed back inside, and brought the food out for him to eat, he immediately started eating, while Lauren stood there watching him.
She was so frightened, she closed her eyes and unconsciously said. "I want you". But before he could digest what she said, she shook her head and swallowed hard, I meant, I wanted to speak to you about how you left earlier". She corrected herself, but Lucious was no longer listening, that was when he noticed what she is wearing, he bent down and buried his head inside her neck, and smelt her. "What perfume is that? He asked, sniffing her in, he grabbed her breast, and was sniffing it into his nose."Mango macho". She stutters. "That is my perfume". He says, and is about to speak but she nodded."No it's not, someone got it for me for my birthday last year at work". She would have pushed him aside, but he was just too strong and domineering that she found herself, helplessly laying on the bed.He fumbled with her breast, and started touching every other part of her body. Lauren closed her eyes not in disgust, but for fear that he might see through her, and then he will know that what
Lucious fell on the other side, feeling exhausted, while watching his sperm all over his cock. He expected her to be awake already, but she still maintained the same position, and he didn't think there was something wrong with her positioning, he just feels she is exhausted.Lucious got up and went to the bathroom, to freshen up, hoping that when he gets back, she will be up, but to his surprise, by the time, he came back inside, she was still in the same position. He became worried, but he didn't show it, he just spoke Coldly, the same way he used to speak, that gets her scared. "Go and freshen up, don't lay there, naked, acting like we are now some power couple we are not. And don't think too much about what happened between us, we are just helping each other. I mean you wanted me, and you came into my room for it, and you did that because you know I like sex, and though you are not my spec, i like to be fair. After all, you are in a contract marriage with me, you are not allowed
"You are awake". He says, and she feigned a smile. "You scared me". He added, surprising Lauren. He had never shown care towards her, not all the while she worked tirelessly, hoping to get approval from him, so she could be promited, but he onky sees her, as a low nurse, with no educational background in the field, even though her experiences have made her even better than some certified nurses. Looking at him now, as he claims he had been scared, she wonders just what, had scared him.She harboured all that thought and said nothing to compliment what he had said."I heard your mother is fine now". He seem to be trying to strike a conversation with her, but she was not in the mood to reciprocate. "Yes". She answer simply, while looking away, waiting for him to cut to the chase."We miss you around here, when are you likely to resume? I mean that was part of the deal, you resume, they pay all your debts and you work from home and also go to school from home right? Lauren rolled her ey
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
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
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'
Lucious woke up to find Lauren reading close to his bed, he sprang up, his eye caught the clock in his room, it was past noon. He checked his phone to confirm the time, then he looked back at her. She wore a beautiful smile, still with her casual wear on. "How come you are back so early? He asked. Looking around him for any clue, as to what could have made her stay back, especially, avoiding her face. Not wanting to get distracted by her smile, even though he felt happy that she is around, the feeling of his success the previous day, and he felt like telling her everything that happened last night already, just so she could smile broader." I didn't go to work, nor to school, so I guess the question should be, why didn't you go to work, school, or even to see your mother? Lucious smiles, he felt his ego grew, believing she left it all to be with him And it is surely a great privilege, for her to leave everything that mattered so much to her, just to spend the day with him, that m
Upon reaching home, he found Lauren in his room, fast asleep. She was even snoring from exhaustion, which was a beautiful sight to behold.It is already past midnight, and it is only ideal, that she sleeps, after waiting up for him. He felt like waking her up and telling her all that had happened, but he thought again, watching her was a lot better, So, he watched her sleep, her fair legs were enticing, and though they had been together all through the day, he knows, he could never have enough of her. While she was trying to make herself comfortable, she turned around, and the cover, over her breast opened, revealing how beautiful the pair looks. Lucious smiles, then he looked up at the wall to where he had hung the picture of Sydney, and somehow, he didn't feel so bad anymore, instead he felt grateful and resolve to protect Lauren with all his heart, and all the things he didn't allow sydney to do, he was going to allow Lauren do. He would show her to the world, andale her a Queen,
Lauren woke up late in the night, feeling very hungry, she looked around her, and Lucious was still beside her, she escaped from his grip, to find something to eat, while she heat up his own meal, so he could have something to eat in bed. She doesn't know why, but she feels like having him all the time, she never gets enough of him.When she brought the food, he was already up, and just when she thought they could both have a couple's discussion, even if they wouldn't talk about what just happened, at least they could eat together, and make plans on what next to do, but he got up, dressed up, and is about to leave the house."Please eat something". She says to him, but he only turned to look at her for a moment, his expression unreadable, before he left the house, without saying a word to her.She knows he is still trying to come to terms with everything going on, so, if what he is demanding is space, then she should give him that. She ate alone, and still waited up for him, but he
