Harry's door was kicked open and three of them barged in, lining up before his desk as he looked back and forth frantically. He had been thinking of how to get out of this situation ever since he laid eyes on Eric.He still couldn't believe that Eric was here with Lucas. He never heard the two were this close unless Lucas got him to pose…?"Harry, you have one chance to explain," Lucas warned. "Where's the document-""Ha! I'll be damned if I tell you shit!" Harry mocked. He wasn't about to fall for this sham-Eric stepped forward, "Let me explain your situation a little better. We can end this here on a good note or we can drag you to court and let the best man win. Last I checked there are rumours surrounding your club about drugs and sex trades."The threat in Eric's eyes was making him tremble. "I-I don't get it! Why will you go this far and spend a lot of money on that- that-" he pointed an accusing finger at Lucas.Eric blocked his vision by stepping to the side, "You don’t touch
Evelyn wasted no time in making the deposit at the hospital. She was bubbling with so much glee that the doctor couldn't help but smile. He only knew a little of her struggle with her brother's payment."Thank you!" she waved at the doctor before walking out of the hospital. Along the way, she composed a thank-you email to the CEO. She had gotten the email from the project they worked on."Now what do I get him as a present?" she wondered as she thought of Lucas with a smile on her face. She had been so overjoyed and emotional that she didn't know when she hugged him.She was distracted by the notification on her phone. It was a response to her email."Keep up the good work," the email read."Oh my God! He actually replied," she covered her mouth in shock. "Wow! I'm looking forward to a raise then," she teased as she made her way to the company."Evelyn."At the familiar voice, she turned to Alex's wide smile as he walked up to her."You're back," she said. "I didn't know you would be
Olivia shook, staring at Evelyn in shock who had tears on her face. No one would believe she just slapped two people with that look. She touched her face, her cheek stung badly and when she looked at her mother, her heart dropped at the red swollen area.She let out a scream in horror. She was afraid and mad! Her face hurt like she had been slapped with an iron fist. "How dare you touch me! I'll fucking call the cops! I'll sue you for physical abuse!" As she screamed, her eyes leaked with tears."Mom! Do something! Do something! She hit me! In front of all these people!" Olivia yelled with her hands over her face as she pulled her tantrum. "I've never been so humiliated in my whole life!"The manager of the store had been contacted earlier and he rushed down to see the commotion that was happening in his store. He came right on time to see a mad woman dressed in a good outfit display her craziness."Get them out of here!" He ordered the security and they approached the mother and daug
She wrapped her arms around his neck, lost in his skilled tongue as he stroked the flames to their passion. She barely got any air, his hands roamed her body, making her breathless as she desired more and more of him by the second.His lips were soft but his heart was raging at a ferocious pace. She buried her hands in his soft hair and he cupped her ass.She was pressed against him hard enough to be aware of every hard inch and she kissed him back with the same intensity.But somewhere at the back of her mind, she knew this was getting out of hand. While her body yearned for him, she couldn't make things more complicated.Slowly, she pushed him away, shutting her eyes as she tried to catch her breath. "We can't," she whispered. They were a contracted couple, who knew how long they would be together?Sex was too dangerous. What if they made a mistake and a baby happened? It would be ridiculous to raise a child in a house with no love.Lucas understood their situation but he couldn't r
"What about me?" Lucas asked. "What do you think of me?"The question made her hands freeze over the onions she was cutting. It was something she least expected.Hearing her praise the CEO version of himself, he wondered what she thought of him. To everyone, including his family, he was a waste of space, time and money-- not like his father ever spent a dime on him after his mother's death.The rumours were cruel and harsh but he had come to live with it. Those were probably the first things she heard before she agreed to marry him. He wondered if she too saw him as what everyone said he was.Her silence, however, stretched on for too long that he began to conclude she was just like everyone else.That was too bad, he had been looking forward to her answer."Forget I asked-""You're a good contract husband," she said over him.Now that was shocking… and new but very shocking still. "Wait, that's it?"She giggled and turned to him. He arched his brow in disbelief and she smirked, feeli
“What do you want?” He asked immediately he answered the phone, moving away from a flushed and lustful gazed at Evelyn.He made a fist by his side, grinding on his chin to keep his anger at bay but how could he? He was sprouting a hard-on while talking to his father on the phone.Dammit!“Is that anyway to talk to your father?” The man asked, sounding menacing or at least that's what he thought he sounded like.After that dinner party where he presented him with a hundred million dollar gemstone, they haven't spoken. No surprise there.He was in little to no contact with anyone from his family.“You can still make it to dinner if you leave now,” his father said with a sigh, as if rolling his eyes.What was that supposed to mean? Was this anyway to invite someone over for dinner? Plus, with that attitude, Lucas scoffed, “No thanks-”“Your wife has to be introduced to the family, boy,” he snapped. “Bring her over for a meal.”Since when were they interested in his business? “Not interes
Liam stormed off angrily. Unable to think of a comeback for the couple who bullied him, he was overwhelmed with embarrassment and couldn't stand to be in their presence."Is he always like that?" Evelyn wondered, taking her eyes off the disrespectful lad and turning to her husband. "How did you put up with that?" she genuinely wondered.Yes, she did have hers to deal with but she never thought anyone could have it worse than she did."Why does he get to talk to you that way?" she frowned. "I don't like it. He's really rude and disrespectful. He doesn't even know me yet he cursed at me too."Lucas was cupping her cheek but her frown remained, she couldn't seem to put the experience behind her."It's okay. He's spoiled by my-""Who are you calling spoiled?" a woman's harsh voice broke the air and while Evelyn was startled, Lucas rolled his eyes at the familiar voice that filled him with rage.Coming out of a corner was Mr. Graham and a beautiful woman whose face was cold as ice. Her aur
Dinner wasn't over by the time Lucas pulled Evelyn out of there but he couldn’t stand the atmosphere anymore. They were all pretending like they weren't lunatics just a few minutes ago.She didn't know why he decided to leave early but she didn't mind it. She sat quietly in the car, looking out the window, oblivious to Lucas staring at her from the rearview mirror.Her words at the table waltzed back into his head and he chuckled. A while ago he was getting pissed at his old man's yell but she managed to calm the storm. There were sides to her he was yet to see, as it seems."Is there anything you want?" he asked, keeping his eyes on the road."I'm hungry," she sighed. "I didn’t get the chance to eat that delicious looking pie- ugh!" she groaned, as if in pain. She had been looking forward to it.It was a nice feast back there. They may all have shitty attitudes but she knew that pie would make her feel much better.He almost laughed at her tantrums, "Since I pulled you out of there,
