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 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.

    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.

    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
