Lucas’s POV
I was standing in my billion-dollar mansion.
It was a cold morning, a little foggy. As I breathed out, I could see most forming. Sunrise was a few minutes away.
I took in the cold atmosphere, appreciating the serenity the AM offered. In the distance, I could hear cats fighting.
I walked towards he source of the noise. I was met with two fat grey Russian cats. They were growling, well in their own little mind, at each other.
I spectated the commotion for a jiffy.
They kept on meowing, and displaying an aggressive stance. It reached a point they got into each other’s face, eye to eye. But they backed off on their own.
They meant no harm to each other. It was just to satisfy their own egos. Once they were done, they backed off, still eyeing each other keenly.
Me and Noah, are somewhat like that. He came to hate me, yet we haven’t caused serious devastation to each other. We’re brothers from another mother.
My
Emma’s POVIt was raining cats and dogs, the clouds thundered with pent up anger, the rain poured, each drop hitting like a pebble to the head. It was harsh, yet I found it enticing. Maybe because the thunder inside me was much stronger than the one outside.Why me?Things were bad, but I was managing and then Noah came into my life. Initially, it felt as if things became harder, and at a point, I didn’t even mind that. His sole presence was enough to give me a reason to hope. I liked him, damn I started loving him.And then he crushed my heart without a single thought. I was supposed to hate you, Noah, not worry myself thinking even if you are alive.I couldn’t even feel the anger I wanted to, all I felt was utter terror.I didn’t have it in me think of Lucas and last night? I was worried sick.20 missed calls, I had sent to Noah and then 2 to Lucas, but it was like waking up the dead, they just wouldn’t wake up.I hadn’t slept
“ Now go to my room and spread your legs for me like a good girl or you know what I’ll do to you. “ He utters those crude words, shocking me.Am I even talking to the same guy that helped me when Noah broke my heart?“ I…don’t like you that way. I won’t. “ I whisper, my voice a little shaky.“ Who says anything about liking Emma? I like you and that’s more than enough. “ He states, with a bitter expression on his face. Lost in his own delusional world. Or maybe I was, for thinking he is any different.“ Please…I love Noah, I can’t cheat on him. “ I plead, begging helplessly.“ Cheat on him? Sweetheart you absolutely did. “ He taunts, making fun of me. Knowing he has trapped me in his plan.“ I was drunk! “ I exclaim.“ Noah doesn’t know your drunk, now does he? “ He retorts back.I look down, realizing there is no way out.“ I’ll do anything, just not this Lucas. “ I try pleading one more time, expecting some me
Emma’s POVThe next morning, Noah came to my house early in the morning. He brought breakfast too!“ I decided to chill with you. “ He had announced.Currently, I’m preparing lunch for us, then we’ll go to watch Frozen 2 with Tim.“ Don’t you have work though? “ I ask worriedly. He shouldn’t skip work because of me.“ I do, I had to discuss a project with Lucas. It will be a great success, Emma. My company will do a combined project Lucas’s. “ He explains and my body goes stringent.As much as I want to stay away from Lucas, he is Noah’s best friend and he will always be around Noah.Just then Noah’s phone beeps. He picks up the call as I continue to make lunch.“ Hey man. “ Noah greets, while on the phone.“ I know we had a meeting but I’m at Emma’s house. I just wanted to spend some time with her. ““ How about you come over? ““ Yeah, see you soon then. “ He says, ending the call.“ Hey, get over
Emma’s POV“ How did that happen? Why didn’t you inform me? “ Noah asks, completely shaken by the shocking piece of information.“ I did Noah. But you were way too busy with your lifestyle and with that wretched fiancé of yours. I tried reaching out to you but Sophia told us clear-cut that you wanted nothing to do with us and whether we live or die it is none of your concern. Then tell me, how was I supposed to reach out to you after hearing that? “ The woman laments.“ I..she didn’t tell me about this mom or else I would have come. “ Noah tries to explain but at this point whatever he says wouldn’t matter. It’s too late now.“ Does it matter now Noah? Everything has been done, your father is buried six feet under the ground. You didn’t visit him when he was alive, the least you can do is visit him when he is dead. “ She whispers, wiping a lone tear. The emotions bubbling up.“ Mom… “ Noah speaks, trying to touch his mother for some sort of comfort. But
The next morning I am woken up by a joyous Noah. His mood seems better than yesterday.“ Get ready, we have to go somewhere! “ He says excitedly.“ Where? “ I groan out, still half asleep.“ It’s a surprise. You’ll love this one for sure. “ He says excitedly.“ I’m sleepy. “ I say, not opening my eyes.“ I know how to make you up, babe. “ He whispers in my ear with a thick accent.His lips travel to mine and he gives me a sudden kiss, his lips then travel to my neck and he starts biting softly.I groan in annoyance, pushing him back.“ Noah. “ I whine.He backs off, chuckling.“ Fine. 5 more minutes and then you’re getting up. “ He orders before going away.Minutes pass away soon and I still do not get up, my eyes extremely drowsy.I feel someone jump on the bed abruptly and get on top of me.“ Get off me! You’re heavy. “ I scream.He doesn’t budge.I don’t either.“ I’m more stubbo
“ We found her dead body in an old forsaken building. Apparently, She had committed suicide, I don’t think so though. There were several burnt marks on her skin. She was badly tortured and the evidence was clear on her skin. Whoever did that made it seem like suicide but we all know it wasn’t. Though no one is willing to open the case again. There is pressure to close the case from the higher authorities. Those were some monsters, who did that to the poor girl. Are you her relative miss? “ The woman asks.I put the home down, without saying anything back.Noah lied to me. He said he handed Sophia over to the police. What if there is more to the story? I can’t blame him without solid evidence. This is a big thing.With a barely functioning brain, I decide to call Lucas.He picks up the phone instantly.“ Noah murdered Sophia. “ I scream, as soon as he picks up the call.“ What? Are you alright? He asks, worried.“ Sophia is dead. Sh
One month laterNoah’s dead and it’s finally sinking in. The time I heard the news, I was frantic, I thought it was a joke, a stupid one.I waited, for the news to turn out into a hoax but it was very real. It was a nightmare that I couldn’t flee, even though I badly craved to.I feel his absence every day, especially when I wake up and the feeling of being alone crawls back in, deep into my skin.The day he proposed to me was the happiest, and somewhere in my heart, I felt that happiness doesn’t last forever but never in a million years did I imagine it would be this short-lived.I had a feeling he would do something stupid the moment he left, he wasn’t alright and I was to blame. I said those hurtful things to him when he was at his lowest.Somewhere in his heart, he felt he wouldn’t make it out alive so he chose this.Noah committed suicide, as I was informed by the police. He drove his car straight into the river from the top of the brid
The next morning Lucas arrives early. He brings many different fruits, some tropical ones, and some extremely rare ones.“ Try eating light so that you may be able to digest it. “ He advises.I eat a few strawberries and dip them in white chocolate, I take some bites of the enormous grapes, the size of an apple and persimmons.He also offers me passion fruit juice. I take a few sips and dislike the taste.After we are done with our breakfast he takes me to the doctor.“ Were you able to get an appointment at the last minute? “ I ask worried, I don’t want to travel so much just to come back.“ Appointment? “ He asks, cocking his head towards me.“ Yeah. For the check-up. “ I inform.“ I don’t need one. “ He replies arrogantly.I tool my eyes at him. Typical.Just Lucas being Lucas.The rest of the ride goes in empty silence and we reach the hospital in no time. He drove the car fastly and rashly may I mention?He

One Year LaterLucas’s POVMy body was sweating profusely as I thrusted inside her. She was moaning like a kitten and we were both reaching our peak.I laid gentle kisses along her neck and then reached her plump lips. I dived into her mouth with need, we explored each other’s mouth, and then she broke the kiss, panting for air. While I kept pounding into her love hole.I gentle grabbed her breast and massaged it lightly with my fingers. Kissing each nipple and toying with it, causing her moans to increase. I gently bit one nipple and she hissed.“ Lucas “ She whined and I smiled at that.Increasing my pace, I was getting close and so was she. I pinned both her hands on the bed and took full control. I started thrusting roughly. Our breaths, prolonging.Then we both reached our peak and came together. Completely drained, I fell on top of her. Our bodies, still connected.“ I love you. “ She whispers, still breathless.
I soon shifted with Lucas, it wasn’t a hard decision to make but the whole situation, to me seemed sketchy.I can’t just forgive Lucas after all that he did to me. He broke my trust over and over again, and I still trusted him despite that.It’s not that I’m scared of him breaking my trust, at this point if he does that. I won’t be surprised. I became used to it. But it just doesn’t feel nice to be made a fool of, especially if it’s not him making a joke of me, but it is my own self.As the saying goes:Fool me once, shame on youFool me twice, shame on me.It’s a war within, one I’m scared to lose. I just hope I’m not making any wrong decision because the consequence of that would turn me bitter.I hope he doesn’t hurt me again. I was scared of being hurt initially, now I’m just tired of it.Nonetheless, I still shifted.We settled in his house, I was given a room besides Lucas’s room. Lucas also prepared a separa
Lucas’ POVEmma suddenly faints in my arms, I gently place her in the car. I rush inside the restaurant and get some water.Gently putting some moisture on her face and shaking her lightly, she responds to it and flutters her eyes open.“ Are you alright? “ I enunciate.She looks at me, a bit confused.“ I suddenly felt dizzy and then it blacked out. “ She replies, looking around.“ Relax. “ I reply, gently pushing her back in the seat.I open the bottled water and gently put the tip against her soft pink lips. She takes small sips.“ Lu…Lucas, I’m fine now. “She mutters weakly, trying to get up and out of my car but I block her.“ I don’t think you’re fine Emma. Now sit back. “ I order sternly, leaving no room for argument.I buckle her in and close the door, before going towards the driver’s side. Midway through, I abruptly stop. My eyes sharpen towards the bastard lying on the ground.I stride towards him and
I get up, throwing the comforter on one side and groaning like a maniac.I don’t want to do this. Besides, it’s only a matter of time before Lucas finally brings the company down. He is influential and determined enough to do that.I’ve been so busy, I barely have time to think and I’m glad about that. At least it keeps me away from the fact the I’m pregnant. I don’t ponder about it much, simply because I didn’t have the time to.It takes me some time to prepare breakfast and feed it to Tim. I head to the office. In between the journey, I think of Tim. I have to get him enrolled in a school. He can’t just stay home. He is reaching his age to be in school but I have such a huge mess to deal with.I can’t give Tim a better life, how will I deal with this baby. I would even think about aborting it if I could give it a better life but I’ve failed awfully with Tim.I finally reach the horrific building. My imagination goes wild and I imagine the buildi
Emma’s POVAfter a wonderful morning and evening, I go home. Living my best life, being the CEO. Not having a thing to worry about, making a lot of money.Oh, who am I kidding? This is awful. My mind is filled with haunting scenarios. I reach home extremely weary, but then start cooking something since I’m practically starving.And I’m pregnant, on top of that!It’s not like I’m doing it on purpose though. I just didn’t get the time to eat.I start chopping the vegetables and get some ramen out. I’m making Korean style ramen noodles!It takes little time to prepare as I don’t boil the vegetables for too long. I set up the table. I put some in my bowl and then in Tim’s. I even got some chopsticks!I try to pick up the food with those, struggle continuously for the next 5 minutes and then give up. I’m hopeless.I throw them in the bin and finally get a fork. Tim ends up crackling at my failure. I narrow my eyes at him and his laugh
The next morning, I order breakfast and head to the company soon.Stepping into the office, I feel empty. This is the place where Noah used to work.I look at his chair and break down. This is the place he used to sit at. Everything in his office is still his, not mine.I move his chair to the side and use another one.I can’t sit in his chair, it reminds me too much of him. Besides this will always be his.I also notice a new secretary.“ Hi, I’m Stacy. Mr. Knight hired me when he was handling the company. I’ll assist you from now on Miss Emma. “ She replies with a merry tone.I nod in return.Just then John enters. I remember him, he was the manager in the past. He was kind and we often conversed, something that bothered Noah.He greets me with a smile.“ How are you? I hope you’re coping with the situation well. “ He speaks sympathetically.“ I..I’m okay. Thank you for asking. “ I reply with a merry tone. Eve

Emma’s POVI spend the next few hours, worrying endlessly.Lucas’s words, giving me a bitter headache. I already have a lot on my plate, and now this?I try to call Lucas, it rings for a few torturous seconds. The wait getting to me, I throw my phone on the pillow lightly. Groaning in annoyance.Why isn’t he picking up? He usually does.Abruptly, I hear the bell ding. It’s not my phone, but my doorbell. I rush to the door, thinking it might be Lucas but I find an old man, dressed in a suit.His hair turned grey due to old age, his cheekbones round and shiny.“ Uh, who might you be? “ I ask, dumbfounded.“ I’m Corner, Mr. Knight sent me. “ He announces, grinning.“ You mean Lucas? “ I ask confirming.He nods.“ What for? “ I ask, quirking my brow in confusion.“ Let me inside Miss and I’ll explain it all to you. “ He states.I step away from the door, my body previously blocking the entran
