Upon saying that, he started laughing. While Lauren felt like the ground should open and swallow her up. She quickly got a snack and a drink, and offered him, but he shook his head. "I think you need it more". He says, and she smiles,"Where is that boy anyways? I need to see him. He says looking around, he was expecting him to also come out the same way she did."He is sleeping". She says, thinking he would start leaving already, but that only caused him to laugh out loud. "That means you won the fight". He says with a smirk, and she opened her eyes wide, wondering what fight he was talking about. She hasn't fought with anyone. Seeing her confusion, he started explaining. "You see my dear, during sex, the one that is able to get up and get himself or herself a drink or a snack, is ready for her another round, but the one that falls asleep, is the weak one". Lauren closed her eyes shy, with her hands on her face, she couldn't look at him for a while, because of the crazy things he wa
Opening her eyes the next morning was because of the scream from Cynthia, she was so angry, seeing the both of them in bed. she couldn't stop screaming. At first, Lauren thought she was dreaming or something, she totally forgot about the door, so when she opened her eyes, it was Cynthia, standing by the door, looking as shocked as though she had just seen a ghost. That was when Lauren realized she had forgotten about the door and slept.Lauren quickly got up, and that caused Lucious who looked like he still needed to rest to get up too. He didn't try to cover himself up, he wore his short, and dragged Cynthia outside, shutting the door to give Lauren some privacy to get dressed."Are you insane? How dare you come to my house and scream like a mad dog. I will have to add some restrictions to that door, so that you are never allowed in again". Cynthia was stunned, but she still needed to ask."Why are you both in bed, naked? She asked, him, while Lucious robbed his eyes, to be fully aw
She decided to run a little investigation on Cynthia, to know what she has hidden, because somehow, she believes that Cynthia could not be clean, she must definitely have something she is hiding. "What can you tell me about Cynthia? She asked her friend, who have been trying to get her to speak since she walked in to the hospital.Pamela sat thoughtfully close to her, placed her hands on her jaw, and started."I just know she is a bitch". She spoke angrily. That isn't the sort of information Lauren needed, but she would be telling her too much, if she says more."She is the bitch that wouldn't let Sydney, enjoy her home, she was always coming around, and somehow, Lucious was always going to her. A lot of people said she rejected Lucious, and wanted to pursue her carrier, while others think there is something she has that Lucious always come after, not really her. But girlfriend, the world is socially attractive and involved now, if you want to know about some one, look them up". She
The little moon stood with her father for a while, she seem to be explaining what happened to him, he paid rapt attention to her, and later hugged her. Lauren decided to pass by, hoping the little girl would remember her, and luckily for her, it happened that way. "Daddy look at the lady I told you about". She sounded so excited, and Lauren turned briskly, as though she hadn't planned for it.Moon rushed and hugged Lauren, while her father kept watching."I am Julius". She stretched her hand to take his, in a hand shake. " I am Mrs Fonder". She decided to use her surname, so it rings no bell to him." I was actually going to grab a burger. moon must be hungry, care to join? She asked. He wanted to hesitate, but Moon was already jumping happily at the sound of burger. Lauren knew this is her time, they took a walk to the pastry shop and sat there. They talked about a lot, and Lauren felt she knows more about Cynthia now, especially from Moon, who spoke about her in an angry way. Sh
The next day, Lauren dressed up for work, she thought that she would have to call him, when it's time for them to leave for Moon's school, but surprisingly, Lucious was ready too. He looked smashingly handsome, with his casual wear."I am not going to the school right away, I will go there later". She quickly tells him."I know, I want to go to the hospital with you, and also take you to Houston, before going to see the girl, there is something I need to check". Lauren didn't feel like arguing with him, she adjusted her dress and walked out with him. "You are going to get bored. The hospital isn't a fun place to be". She tells him. He looked into her eyes, a smile escaping his lips, then he brought out a sparkling bracelet, pulled her hand out, and wore it on her. "Since we are going out together, you should play the part of a billionaire well enough". Lauren smiles and thanked him.He held her by the hand and walked out of the building with her. It was their first time going out t
On their way to Houston, Lauren tries engaging him in discussions, about how boring the hospital will be for him, just so that his mind could be open, because she fears that his mind might be on what he is likely to see later, but he buried his eyes on work, and he didn't look disturbed in anyway, until they got to Houston, this time, she was the one that called his attention to the fact that they are already at their destination, and if she thought that the hospital gave Lucious a grand welcome, which was kind of embarrassing to her, since no one noticed her. Houston nurses, literally, almost made out with him with their eyes, and he didn't bother working in, holding her hands, he just walked on, while she walks behind him, like his slave."Is that Lucious Mendez, the billionaire? One of the students was bold enough to confront Lauren, since she was the one they saw, stepping down from the limo with him."Yes that's him". She answered simply, hating the attention they were giving t
Lauren sat there waiting for him to open up, but he never did, she knocked and knocked, but he also never opened up, then she got her phone and started calling him, which he never answered. Just to confirm if what she has been thinking is true, if what she sees in his eyes are true, that somehow, Lucious cares for her, she fell down and pretended to be unconscious, because she knows that Aunt Michelle, being in the kitchen, will come around soon, to announce that their meal. is ready.Aunt Michelle, just as predicted, passed by and saw her, close to the door, completely out, and she started screaming, she didn't have to scream for too long before Lucious opened the door, and tries bringing her back to consciousness."Go and get my driver". Lucious screamed at Aunt Michelle. His heart racing and panting out of fear of the unknown."Common Lauren, don't do this to me". He says, with a broken voice, as though he was going to break down any time soon, and just then, Lauren opened her eye
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
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,
