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. Sydney knew she won't be able to act all stron
"Why won't the world just let Lucious Mendez and Sydney be? Pamela Hill, a nurse in the Panacea psychiatrist hospital says, dropping the daily news paper on the table, so that Lauren fonder could see it."You and this Lucious guy again? I think you are actually the one that would not let them be, you speak about him all the time".She smiles, pulling the seat to sit opposite her."But it's hard to stop talking about him, when he is super cute". She confessed, then she added.Even at that, they should still let him be, I don't know why they think something is going to go wrong between them?"The world still look at Lucious, the multi billionaire as a womanizer, they don't want to accept that he has changed". Lauren says, going over a few more files, setting them in their rightful place."I too, sometimes feel it is hard for a known womanizer like Lucious Mendez to just repent, I feel something is wrong".She places a finger on her lip as if thinking of what she feels is actually wrong.
Lauren heard the sound of the siren bringing in a wounded person, but she didn't get up, since the emergency ward is not her section. She was still angry about the rejection of her Houston application. She have decided to deposit all her savings to the hospital for her mother's surgery, when suddenly the door to her office flung open again, and Pamela walked in.This time, she looks like she have been chased by all the animals in the zoo, and though the hospital is very airy, she was sweating." Holy Mother of God! Lauren, you won't believe it". She exclaims, trying to catch her breath."Calm down, it can't be all that bad? Lauren says, not knowing why her friend is looking like the worst has just happened to her."Lucious Mendez and Sydney". She couldn't continue, she stopped half way, holding her heart, as though it had been ripped off.They are the ones that have been brought in, they were involved in an accident, I am scared they are not going to make it". She cries."Hey! Calm d
The news about the death of Sydney had already spread like wild fire. How it went out within minutes, was surprising.Lucious's parents sat close to their son, wondering how they will present the news to him, when he finally opens those eyes.Though the doctors have warned that no one should tell him about Sydney yet, for fear that he might loose it, but they also know that keeping it from him would be very hard, for she will be the first person he will ask after.While his eyes are closed, he has been calling her name, he seem to be having nightmares about what had already happened, or the scene kept replaying in his mind.Hours into the day, Sydney had been taken to the morgue, and everywhere had calmed down a bit, Lucious Mendez finally opened his now pale blue eyes, that doesn't seem to do justice to his cute face anymore.He looked around him and found his mother resting her head on the bed. He could see that his hands were connected to drips and cannulas for injection around hi
As soon as her mother was brought out to see her, she got up to meet her half way, before leading her to a seat."Mother you look better than the last time". She says, hiding her tears."I actually feel better than the last time". Her mother replies, pulling her face to look at her.You don't have to cry if you have not been able to raise the money, I believe something great will happen soon". Hearing her speak that way always bring tears to her eyes."Mother, I have decided to use my insurance, you will be admitted to Panacea, you will have the surgery done there, and even if my savings aren't enough, I have been told that I could work without pay for years, till I finish paying up"."I cannot let you do that. What about your school in Houston? Are you giving up on that? Do you want to remain just a nurse, when you can be so much more? She couldn't hide her tears anymore, she let it drop, soaking her white blouse. Whenever she visited, she would always promise herself that she will b
"Lauren Fonder, You are wanted, immediately at the senior doctor's office".Lauren and Pamela heard the inter-call, and she exchanged knowing glances with Pamela, who just resumed. "Did something happen? She asked Rhetorically. They hardly call her to the office, they usually call her head or her superior, but calling her, was scary. She brace herself and went to answer doctor Carter, who hardly smile at her, let alone, take a second look at her. But she sure admires him, for his intelligence.Pamela also encouraged her to move without fear. Since she haven't done anything wrong. practicing nurses, are usually summond into his office, to get oral query most times, but she have never been called in, because she have always been very careful and calculative. She went to the doctor's office, thinking this was a private meeting, or a case that have to do with her, not upgrading her studies and all, because she have heard the board will be visiting soon, and when ever they visit, they r
Doctor Carter walked them to the door, but by the time he came back, to the office, Lauren had left his office. He saw her leaving, but didn't bother calling her back, it is best, she goes home and think about what she have been told, that is a big opportunity for her.Lauren got back to her office and Pamela was already dying to hear what happened."Why do you look so gloomy? She asked, but Lauren didn't answer."Is it about upgrading and the board, that will be visiting soon? She asked again, but Lauren didn't answer still, she kept looking into space, lost in her own thought."Well I know what will cheer you up. I heard Mendez will be brought to our ward, I just pray I am assigned to be his personal nurse, I will do everything in my power, to make sure he is healed and there will be no paparazzi in sight. I will fight for him". Lauren looked up at her friend, but said nothing."The world won't just let a grieving man grieve in peace. I mean, they follow him everywhere. I don't e
Lauren went straight to bed, trying to forget everything about her worries and uncertainties, but instead of forgetting, she traveled to dream land. After all, dreams are actually formed that way, from what we dream and think about, before going to bed."Congratulations miss Lauren Fonder, you have been accepted and all fees have been paid in full, even advance payments were made". She receives a male from Houston and she was in smiles all through as she approach her friend Pamela, who was also very happy for her. They both danced and jumped around rejoicing that she made the right choice."You see, being in a contract marriage to a psycho isn't that bad you know, after all, it is only for five years, and within five years, even if you take all the shifts and double work in the entire city, you could never pay Houston's fee, but now, it has been paid in full". Pamela says, hugging her, and just then, she turned to look behind her, she noticed that her mother was standing there, looki
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
