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
As soon as she was discharged, Lauren expected that Lucious will come and get her, but she waited and waited, until Pamela was through with her shift, and had to take her, in her car. The ride was unusually quiet, but she didn't want to break the silence, for she already knows what was going on in Pamela's mind. She only opened her mouth, when she wanted to direct her, as to where she will turn, and hearing how heartbroken she sounded, Pamela spoke up."That guy doesn't deserve seeing you, if I were you, I would go somewhere and stay". Lauren smiles, trying to hide the tears that is threatening to find it's way out. She was lucky to send it back in, by raising her head up high.Her heart a whirlwind of emotions, this isn't how she planned her life at all. She swallowed hard, before speaking up."I signed a contract Pam, it's not like I have a choice in this case, I will have to go through with it, whether I like it or not". Pamela, knew that is what she was going to say, but she
Lauren kept feeling the weight of her decision to be Mrs Lucious Mendez settle on her shoulders, and each time, she wish she didn't make such decision. She regrets it with each passing day. But what could she do, they had an agreement, and they have lived up to their bargain, while she needed to live up to hers too, but was she going to live like this in regret for the next five years?The weekend had been unbearable, but the thought of starting work on Monday gave her a glimmer of hope. Lucious have been acting like he doesn't care what she does with her time, which was why she would use that opportunity, to do everything she have planned to do.In her room, she sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the blank wall. Thoughts raced through her mind. How did her life end up like this? She had once thought that Marrying Lucious, despite the circumstances, would offer some security for herself and her mother, and though her mother is now safe, but she feels trapped. She sighed, rubbing
Monday morning finally arrived, and it came with a promise of a fresh start, but as Lauren woke up, she felt the familiar heaviness pressing on her chest. She had never believed in prayers, but this time, she closed her eyes and said a little prayer. She didn't want anything to stand in her way to success. She has sacrificed a lot to be where she is now, so she needed no blockage.The weekend had passed in a blur of awkward silences and unwanted intrusions. She had managed to avoid Lucious and Cynthia for the most part, burying herself in chores, even though Aunt Michelle is around doing some, she still found some to keep herself busy with, and also walking aimlessly around the mansion, with medical books in hand, which she is not exactly reading, and looking for nothing in particular, always forgetting herself, and things. Surprisingly, she hasn't set eyes on Lucious since that day, and she is pleased at that. She clung to the hope that getting back to work at Panacea and Houston w
Upon her arrival at the hospital, the atmosphere was a breath of fresh air. The clean bustling of energy of the hospital was a welcome distraction from the suffocating tension at home.There were visible changes she could see, she was pleased. She smiled a lot, not wanting to think about home, Lucious and Cynthia at all, even though her thought always drift towards home. She wonders what they could be doing at the time, especially since the moans from Cynthia the other night, still seem fresh in her head.She soon met Pamela, who warmly welcomed her back with a big hug, and tried to help her through the day, filling her in, on the changes around. Doctor Carter kept her busy with routines. Within minutes, she was swept up in the routines of her new position.After a while, she left for Houston, she needed to finish up some paper work. When she got there, she also received a warm reception, and she almost forgot that she faces issues at home. She met new students just like her, and th
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
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
