Lucious was sitting on the sofa, with Lauren's copy of the contract, the one she just looked at, few days ago, she had left it lying carelessly in her room, and there were pictures of her, including her growing up, with her mother. She also found other pictures of her, and Pamela, with their nurse uniforms. then she found other pictures of the real Sydney. She stared into Luscious cold eyes and they were no longer bright the way they had been that morning, when he had tried to seduce her, they were red. She wanted to speak, but she couldn't find her voice, she understands how he would feel, and how it will all seem to him, but she had wanted to tell him the truth from the begining."You don't have anything to say, do you? Cynthia asked, with a sinister smile. Lauren said nothing, she had her eyes fixated on Lucious, she wanted to see if his reaction would call for emergency. Somehow, she wished she had come home with Pamela, she would have made everything okay. "Anyways, I need to
"Read it out loud". he commanded, with a cold voice. Lauren jerked out of fear, looked up at him, and then she started, With tears dripping down her eyes."I Lauren Fonder, agree to be with you, Lucious Mendez for the next five years, and do everything you please, without argument". She didn't bother reading the other part of the contract, she just signed, as the tears was begining to blind her eye."Starting from this day. you will always be home with me, unless if I travel and you have no right to go be with another man, you are not only bound to me by contract, you are also my wife. So be prepared, to fulfill all your wifey duties". He stared long at her, thinking she would object, but she only knelt down, with her head bowed low. Her only happiness in the sorrow and turmoil before her, was that her mother would be fine. The contract had said that her mother's treatment will be gradual, and since she is supposed to be in the hospital for half a year, before fully certifying that sh
Lauren could feel Mr Mendez looking at her, as she sat at the back of the Limo, while the driver, drives them to God knows where. She could tell, he doesn't like what his son was doing, but he doesn't know how to stop him, because he is also involved in the act of deceiving him. She told them from the begining not to lie to him, but doctor Carter thinks it will drive him crazier. Now that he knows the truth, isn't he more normal than he had been weeks ago? The driver took a turn into the woods, and she became scared. Hope it isn't what she is thinking, she feared that Lucious will hurt her wherever it is they were taking her, and no one will stop her, because so far, no one have stopped him from hurting her. She tapped her phone to call her friend Pamela, without saying anything, she just wanted her to listen, Incase, she never comes back, or she goes missing, Pamela, would know what happened to her. When she was sure, Pamela had picked the call, she summoned courage and asked.
Lauren stood at the doorway, staring at the dimly lit hallway of Lucious's room. Is there really any need going into his room? Won't that be asking for too much, be amuse already he had slapped her more than twice already, and the way his father had spoken to him, could get to him that he might react in a more crazier way, now that he isn't around. She stood there a little longer. The silence deafening, broken only by the faint ticking of a clock on the wall. Her heart raced, her mind replaying Mr. Mendez's words. He believes I can change him. He believes I can heal him. She wanted herself to believe that is the reason she want to go into the room, but deep within her, the passion for her job, as a psychiatric nurse is her major reason for wanting to see the end of the psychotic drama, that was all, or is there another reason? Maybe one she is yet to admit to herself. The idea that she could heal him was ludicrous, yet a small part of her wondered if it was possible. Taking a step i
Lauren got into her room, and shut the door, scared that he might come after her. She stood by the door, panting heavily, before looking through the little opening on the door to see if he was coming, but she couldn't hear anything, the silence was deafening and the only sound she could hear was the sound of her own breath. She shook her head, contemplating if she was going to be able to continue with the contract. She didn't think she could do it, even though her mother's life was at risk, but she could probably lose her life, before she would get the chance to save her mother. She scanned around her room, looking around for her phone, she needed to call Pamela, and tell her everything, she needed to speak with someone, but her phone was not with her. She recalled, that she had dropped it, while he pinned her to the wall, trying to strangle her to death. She needed to go out again, and get her phone, but she haven't heard his footsteps, which explains that he is probably still stand
Lauren looked shocked. He had sound Ed as though he was never going to want her in that way, she hopes he keeps to his promise and just have her as a figure and not a wife. As though he read her mind, he laughed hysterically, that Lauren started to wonder, if she is faced with the same man that had been so sad at the grave yard, a couple of hours ago. She knows that as long as he was laughing like that, it only means that, he has something mischievous up his sleeve. She waited for him to finish laughing, so he could tell her what it is he really wants."Don't flatter yourself. I don't want you in that way, but I know you want me, and I am not going to obliged you". Then he touched his manhood and said. "My dick is only for my wife and even though she is dead, I will never love you the way I love her". This time it was Lauren's turn to smile, she knows he hates it, and she wanted him to get angry, for she feels he is been hypocritical, for speaking about his wife, in such a manner, a
Lauren found herself outside the Lucious Mendez 's Mansion alone, she didn't know which way to go, it was too dark already. She looked around her, and all she could see was darkness. Lucious had watched her leave the mansion, when he could have helped her get to the hospital. Not like she asked him to take her, since he is still angry with her, she just asked that he asked one of his guards to help her, but he refused, and now she is outside, all alone, and scared, unsure of which way to go. She decided to call Pamela, thankfully, she didn't leave her phone behind, she had held it tight, amidst the chaos. she would call her, and she would come and get her.She dialed her number, and she picked up immediately."This is the first time you are calling me by this time of the night, since like forever. I hope you have gotten the message from the hospital, because that was why I was calling earlier". She says."That's not true, and yes I got the message from the hospital, which is why I
While in the car, she avoided looking at him, but she could feel his eyes on her, since he isn't the one driving, somehow, he wasn't staring at her, like he is about to hit her, he was staring at her, like he cares about her, and it meant a lot to her. She wants to feel like a baby, even if it is for once, she didn't want to appear too strong all the time. She have been striving all her life, running from one corner of the world to the other, trying to take care of everybody,she would really love for someone to take care of her, and for Lucious Mendez to come through for her like that meant a lot to her. She turned to face him, but he was quick to look away, She clears her throat, and asked."Please where are we going? She expected him to answer, but he only brought out his phone to show him an image of where he was taking her. The image was not just the hospital, but also, the image of her mother. "You know this person right? We are going to see her". Lauren was shocked, and she open
Lauren couldn't wait for him to meet her up, she started running down to greet him, even though he was signaling to her to be careful, she was so happy to see him, that she didn't notice the log in front of her, she hit her leg, just before reaching him and tumbled over, hitting her stomach on the floor, and passed out immediately.Lucious rushed her in panic, frantically trying to get her to open her eyes all to know avail."Please save the baby". She whispered, and that was when Lucious panic some more, then he realized, staying down wasn't the solution, he carried her into his car, and drove off to the hospital. If he had known, he would have just taken her call,she wouldn't have felt the enthusiasm of seeing him back that way.If he had known,the would have just stayed back at home, and they would have both spoken over the phone, she would still be standing.All these and more were his thought as the nurses rush her to the emergency room and wouldn't come out. He didn't know whom
Lucious didn't leave immediately. He hid behind an oak tree, facing the house, he took pleasure in watching and admiring how Lauren nursed her mother and tossed her to sleep, before coming to stand by the window. At first, Lucious felt she was looking at him, because of how she was smiling, but then, he noticed that she was the necklace he had gotten her. "She is thinking of me". he says, with a smile. He felt like going back to her, they could both sit outside the house till dawn, but that would be selfish of him, since she would be going to work and to school the very next day, if she doesn't get enough sleep, how is she supposed to focus the next day. He waited until she rubbed her eye in tiredness, he knew at that time, she is about to retire, but he still stayed back to watch her leave the window side, before he started making it to his car.When he got to his car, he sat, without touching anything for what seem like forever. His mind, a whirlwind of desire and emotions. "Why ar
"I want to go back to my house, and if you are not going to come with me, just because you got married, then, you can stay with your husband, I will go alone". Her voice were loud and very angry. Lucious knew that this time, he was not going to have the last laugh. Lauren turned to look at him, but he was quick to look away at his phone, he was too scared to see what her eyes held."But mother, it is still the same if you stay with us, we will all be together as one big. family. my husband has needs, I cannot just abandoned him? She says, trying to convince her again, but Mrs Fonder didn't look back at her, she closed her eyes, and pressed her lips together. Lauren saw that it was fruitless talking with her about it, she decided she should meet with Lucious instead, they could work something out.She met him half way, and one look at him, told her that if she say that thing she wants to say, it will break him, but she was shocked, when he looked up at her, with her smile on his face,
Lauren was initially confused as to why they didn't want her to leave the house. When she woke up, and looked around her, and didn't see Lucious, she didn't feel bad, she just felt he probably just stepped out and will be back soon, but after waiting for what seem like forever, she decided going to the hospital to be with her mother, would be ideal, but then, they wouldn't let her. she hates being held against her own will, it makes her feel like a slave. She also didn't want to disobey Lucious, since the guard wasn't rude, he was very nice actually, and he explained calmly to her, that the bosses needed her to rest. She touched her belly and smiled. While in her room, thinking about what their lives would be like, when their baby finally arrives, she heard a knock on her door, and came the guard's voice almost immediately."Boss says I should bring you to the hospital". She knew there was no way, he would allow her drive, but it was better than not allowing her out and all. She has
Going back to the hospital the next day, Lucious made sure, he didn't wake Lauren, he didn't want to do anything that would stress her, as a matter of fact, making love to her that night, had felt like stress, though he had wanted it so much, he still felt he was stressing her. He stayed up all night watching her sleep, When ever she seem distress, even while sleeping, he would become worried.The little insect that came close to her face, was immediately killed, when he could have shuhh it off. He didn't want anything coming close to her. As he walked into the hospital, he could only ask himself. "Is this what it means to be in love?He probably had never been in love, but he had been with Sydney, he loved her, he may not have known how to show it, but he surely did love her. Maybe we love differently, maybe it is a different kind of love. He thought to himself, as he opened the door to Mrs Fonder's room, he felt a new surge of hope, especially when the old woman smiled at him, and
When he stopped, they both had a long stare at each other, and then all of a sudden, they started laughing. They laughed so hard that Lauren soon had tears in her eyes."Why are you laughing? he asked, still laughing himself."I really don't know why I am laughing, I guess I am laughing because you are laughing". She replied, still having the smirk on. "What about you, why are you laughing? She asked him too, and he answered the same thing. telling her, he is laughing, because she is laughing, they both ended up laughing hard again, and holding each other close, and finally concluded, with a passionate kiss.They both left Mrs Fonder at the hospital with Pamela, while they went home, to cement what it is, they were feeling for each other.While on the ride home, Lucious tells her the complete truth."You know everything written about me in the papers are not entirely true". he says, as he kept stealing glances at her, while they converse. He wanted to make sure, she was having no doub
Mrs Fonder's eyes was wide open, looking at the troubled man in front of her. A man she has come to love, for the sake of her daughter. She couldn't tell, if his troubles has to do with her daughter, but she was willing to hear him, since he has been nothing but nice to her. Especially, since he seem to feel comfortable, talking with her. They have shared so many things, within the few hours he spent with her, and she has gotten to know, the sort of person she is.The doctor walked in, still having the same smile he had, when he announced Lauren pregnant. he handed him a tiny paper, and said his congratulations again.Lucious stared at the tiny slip of paper in his trembling hands, his heart pounding like a drum echoing in an empty hall. The words were simple, yet they carried the weight of a thousand storms. Pregnant. Positive. His breath hitched as he leaned back against the couch, the room suddenly too small, the air too heavy. He was going to be a father. Everything seem to be ha
Lucious was so scared, he didn't even take note of the waste all over his shirt, he carried her in a bridal style, and rushed her, following the lead of one of the nurse, that rushed to help out. The doctor was immediately called, and he followed her inside. Lucious wanted to go in, but he was stopped by a nurse."I am sorry, but you cannot go in with her" Lucious nodded, and stood outside, but he couldn't hide how scared he feels. He kept panting and pacing around the corridor, while waiting for the door to open. Anytime the door opens, he wants to know what is happening with her, finally the first nurse that had opened the door for her, to be taken in, walked out the door, and she had a smile on. She has been revived, we are running series of test on her, to know the possible cause of fainting, so you don't have to worry". She says, looking excitedly at Lucious, she even touched his arm seductively, but Lucious was too busy, with his thought, that thinking about what she just did,
Lauren slept on the floor, without knowing what the time says, she only woke up in the middle of the night. She couldn't quite explain why she was sleeping so much, even when she wants to keep her eyes open, she will end up sleeping. She grabbed her purse and headed down the stairs to the door, she needed to go and be with her mother, but she was stopped by a guard."What are you doing? she asked, surprised that anyone would stop her from going out in her house."The boss says, I shouldn't let you go anywhere, if you wake up late". he says, and she checked the time. It was pretty late, but she thought Lucious had already traveled, how come he still wants to dictate what happens in her life. He had told her anything can change, after five years, so she will have to live her life like a prisoner till then."So where is your boss now? She asked, folding her arms across her chest."I don't know, but that was the instruction given". he replied, and went back to his duty post. Lauren tried
