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
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
