ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit chapter 12
~Abigail~This wasn’t how I’d imagined the night would go.The sharp ache in my hand, where I had slammed it against the table just moments before, still throbbed, but that wasn’t even the worst of it. It wasn’t the sting in my palm, or the fact that I could feel the warmth of tears threatening to spill from my eyes. It was Ryan…his words, the way he looked at me with that smug, arrogant grin as though everything was some twisted joke.I wasn’t sure when exactly things had gone south, but the moment his laughter erupted, I knew this was spiraling out of control. “Oh! Don’t tell me you are chasing after older men now Abigail, you really have weird taste if I must say”I had barely registered his words before Lucas stepped in. His protective stance beside me was almost immediate, like a shield against Ryan’s sharp edges.“I don’t think you understand, Ryan,” Lucas said coolly, his voice low, but unmistakably authoritative. “It’s none of your business.”Ryan scoffed, clearly unfazed by t

~Abigail~The ride was silent.I didn’t know why I thought anything would change when I got into the car. My mind was swirling, and my body felt like it was in a fog. The only thing I could focus on was the dull ache in my hand, still pulsating from when I slammed it onto the table. I stared out of the window, the dark streets flashing by, the occasional streetlight casting fleeting shadows that matched the thoughts running through my head.Ryan. That conversation. The way he always seemed to have this ability to twist the knife just when I thought I could breathe again.It wasn’t just his words, either—it was the way he looked at me. Like I was some object for his amusement. Like he had a right to comment on my life and my choices. But the truth was, I wasn’t even sure if it was just him anymore. It was also the anger inside of me, the frustration that had been building up for months. I could feel it simmering beneath the surface, like a pot about to boil over. And tonight, it had.Y

~Lucas~I sat in the study, the quiet hum of the house around me doing little to calm the storm swirling inside. My fingers absently tapped the edge of my desk, but I couldn’t focus on anything, nothing but her voice. “It’s disgusting, Lucas.”The words had landed heavier than I expected, heavier than I wanted to admit. They repeated in my mind, over and over, as though she was still standing in front of me, her eyes flashing with anger, her voice cutting through the space between us. Disgusting. The word felt like a punch. And I couldn’t quite shake the sting.I had gone too far, hadn’t I?I hadn’t meant to upset her, hadn’t meant to cross any lines. But watching her with Ryan tonight, seeing the way that man had looked at her and tried to touch her, I couldn’t sit by and pretend it was fine. She didn’t deserve that kind of treatment. But the way she’d turned on me, my attempt to protect her, to help, had been met with nothing but contempt.She doesn’t need me to protect her.That’s

~Lucas~Lola followed closely behind as we walked to my office, I sat down, and I noticed her eyes were everywhere, I could see the questions in her eyes but I avoided her gaze, I kept my gaze fixed on the screen of my computer, fingers hovering over the keys. “What are you doing here, Lola?”Her voice was light, almost playful. “Missed you,” she said simply, walking towards me. She didn’t ask for permission, never did, and that was one of the things that always pissed me off about her. But before I could respond, she was already sitting across from me, looking around my office, her eyes scanning the walls and the few small changes I’d made recently. It wasn’t much, just a new piece of art and a couple of new books on the shelf but it was enough to get her attention.“You’re looking different,” she remarked, eyes lingering on the artwork. “I never thought you’d have this kind of taste.”I didn’t respond to that.“I love the way you look serious while working, it’s always something tha

AbbyToday I was feeling more motivated as the embarrassment of yesterday was still boldly spelt out on my face especially his look.Was he actually treating me as a child or something? The nerve he had to try and educate me on the type of men I should hang out with when he has been nothing short of an ass to me made me wonder what he was actually playing at.I stared at myself in the mirror after getting ready for work as I was determined to be the best version of myself. After yesterday, I knew deep down that he would probably be dwelling on that to make me feel more embarrassed. I could not let that happen at all.I would walk in that office with nothing short of defiance and he should be ready to receive a blast from me if he comes up with last night. I was not counting on him acting maturely with all he had done these past days.Right then, I heard my phone ringing in the room. I decided to leave with one last motivating prep talk. "You got this."I had been anticipating her call

Lucas I could not understand why I was in such turmoil over Abigail finding out that I had been found in a compromising position in my office. I mean, this was my office and I could do anything I wanted exactly how I wanted it.I remained inside there for a few minutes as I gave Lola some time to walk away while I tried to figure out exactly what I would be telling Abigail right now. I mean, I had to exert dominance one way or another.Hence, I walked out ignoring the urge to ask Ray to fetch her. She was seated on her seat. Obviously trying to focus. I noticed how the staff quietened down the moment I entered into the area and tried to make it seem as though they were focusing on their respective jobs."Abigail, my office now." I thundered and quickly turned away to my office.I resisted the urge to turn and see her shiver or anything as I went straight to my office. I sat down and turned to find she was not right behind me.I furrowed my brows as I waited. A few seconds later she e

AbbyHe was getting on my last nerves and it was no longer funny. I could tell this man hated every inch of my being. As I walked out of his office and went to get my bag, I wondered if my father had any idea that his friend was such an ass. Nevertheless, I simply grabbed my bag and walked away.The moment I stepped out, I decided to make a choice first. Going to Deluxe first to pick up his outfit seemed like the best choice and then Cabbies and cream but what would I be doing with a coat at a restaurant? It was clear I would have to get there first.I flagged down the taxi and let him know my destination before going to sit down in the car.As I entered, I could not help but feel a pang of anger wash over me. I was just trying my hardest to keep it all cool and in one place.I paid my fare and went inside just as my heart escaped me. My mouth opened in horror as I saw the line. This place was bustling with crowds and I was beginning to wonder what to do.Wait, he said he already pla

Abby The moment the car pulled in front of the restaurant, I started dashing inside."Hey lady, my money!" The driver yelled after me.Oh shoot!I turned back to him as I made a few paces close."Please,. I really need to get something. You'll be taking me back to my office. Could you wait?" I asked him.He looked for a moment and then shrugged his shoulders. I mean, anything for his extra funds.I ran inside just as another lady whom I did not recognise was leaving the line. I went up ahead."What do you think you're doing, lady?" The man in front demanded."I'm really sorry but I was in this line earlier." I said, panting as I could not even catch my own breath.Someone in the back chuckled."Yeah, right. And I was on the cover of Forbes magazine. Get in the back or see if any of them other willes willing to trade sides with you." He said to me,"No, I'm serious. I was here earlier. I just left to go pick up this package and then returned. The guy behind me was tall and long haired

Abby He had actually gone inside and that really made me feel sad. Whatever that supervisor had been saying to me after that simply did not reach my brain as expected. I mean, Lucas did not even see me and that really made me feel stupid. I thought about it the best way that I could and all my mind was telling me was that he had already gotten what he wanted from me. It was around this time the supervisor called my attention and told me I had not been paying attention. She asked me if I was feeling bad over how the boss had spoken to me and I told her no. She then said she would let me off and asked me to return to my seat."That was intense." Sarah said as she looked over to me. "Are you okay?"She had already finished the coffee and this right now was when I needed it really bad. I seriously wanted to lash out at her but I knew that would make me seem crazy. I smiled and told her that I was fine. She returned her gaze to her computer which actually sat down well with me. I mean, it
ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit chapter 62
Lucas My reaction to Abigail was really hurting me but at this point, I was already battling with so much. There was a high chance that my best friend was being cut open at this very moment and he might not make it. I did not want to live with the memory that after he left, I was already taking advantage of his daughter. That would haunt me forever. I would have rather she and I come clean to him together. That way, there would be clarity in everything we did. All I needed was his phone call to tell me that he was doing alright after the surgery. On her own part, Abigail was already making me nervous. I saw how beautiful she looked and had we not been doing these things secretly, I could have gone over to embrace her. It would mean so much to calm me down that I have a feeling for her. Besides, she looked really beautiful when I saw her. I wondered if she had taken her time to dress up for me or something. I decided that I would avoid her for the time being and stay here praying tha

Lucas I was unsettled even as I drove back home. Lucinda knew what she was playing at and I just had this hunch she had an ace up her sleeves. Clearly, she had told those cops that I had been the crazy ex. There was no way in the world the duo could have known where she was if she did not mention, or even that she would be passing a certain way. It was all intentional and I was already angry. I drove in a frenzy with a clear cut promise that I would pursue this case.Home, it felt like I was in a strange place. It was tossing and turning around all through that I had to keep dealing with as the memory of what had happened with Abigail kept playing through my mind. Clearly, I had betrayed my best friend and the trust he had for me. I didn't even know how I would face him should he return and that was not compared to how I would feel when he called me. I also knew that skipping his calls would do no justice which meant that I would face him eventually.But then, why did I feel like it
ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit chapter 60
Abigail It took a lot of smiles from my face to make Jack calm down. I felt really bad this time because I should have at least given my own coffee to Sarah and taken his own, that way, I would have known what it tasted like against a day like this. But then, I recalled that I also had not asked him to make me coffee nor did he ask me after my preference. He went on to assume things and I went on with my life. If anyone should be feeling bad right now, it should be me.Nevertheless, I noted how at first, he had smiled wearily like he was forcing it. I wondered if he wanted me to notice it or something. Whatever the case may be, I was not really moved at the moment. I simply watched his reaction and then told him I needed to start going back to the office as there was a ton of work there for me to do. He nodded immediately with a smile that was a little nerve unsettling. I realised I was not cool with him being around me. What would Lucas think when he sees us this way? If anything,
ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit chapter 59
Lucas It was really a slow drive and several times I had to hit my horn to tell her to pick up pace but she was obviously out to make me feel frustrated. I could tell she was enjoying everything that was happening and took her time with it all. One time, I had been so pissed that I drove up to her side and looked at her. She was nodding her head to the music she was playing and I was calling out to her for her to listen. I knew she could hear me but just kept playing her games which got me really pissed as I fell back behind her. I told myself that I had signed up for this and definitely had to see it to the latter.I thought of a form of distraction from her behaviour and then it struck me, Abigail. The mere thought of her made me feel like I had gone away from Lucinda's shenanigans. I thought of her soft skin that I should have stayed back with instead of coming out here to be provoked beyond measure. At least Abigail would listen to me when I asked her to do something and she was
ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit chapter 58
Lucas I know very well that it was a flash of some sort and not some lightning. I looked down now at Lucinda, anger was already coursing through my veins because I did not know what had actually happened. I had my suspicions but there was little or nothing I could do with mere speculations unless she told me what it was. She was watching me from where she sat on the ground and suddenly, she started laughing. I would never know what was amusing her right now but I knew she had done something. With Lucinda, one thing was certain and that was the paparazzi and their willingness to come capture the latest scandal.I squatted now in front of her as I levelled with her. She did not seem fazed one bit about my demeanor and that was going to mean one thing. She had it all figured out already and had already gotten what she wanted. I asked her again, this time in a softer tone with hopes that I would cajole her into telling me what was going on."Tell me, Luce, is there something I should kn

Lucas All I wanted was to stay with her in that space. Abigail was everything I wanted. She was my dream and my fantasy. I realised as I was laying on the bed watching her sleep that she was the one I had always been in love with. She ticked all the boxes for me and as a man of great intents, I knew deep down that I desired a lot from her. I realised that she must be exhausted and hungry when she wakes up and that I needed to get us something to eat. I recalled how most times her father and I would be out at the Chinese restaurant with her to eat. She always seemed to enjoy herself with some Chinese and I decided to get some. Thinking about the memory of those times, this very moment was beginning to make me feel like some sort of pedophile. Hell, I had watched this girl grow into a woman and now, I had tasted of her womanhood. Tell me what other thing is more sick than that. I decided to leave her side for now and go get ready. Getting into the bathroom, a thought crossed my mind a

AbbyIt was a really beautiful moment with Lucas and I wished so badly that it did not have to come to an end. I mean, where was this wishing fairy when you needed her to grant a simple request because I wanted to plead that I be allowed to keep this man for the rest of my life. He was just so nice to me and I realised that if he asked me to dive into the ocean for him, I probably would. Unless my father of course would lose his heart for his daughter. But everyone gets the point.The moment he asked that I lose the panties, I stood up with a smile and then slid it down. He watched me intently and I was wondering if he was already thinking of going back on his promise. I was already sore and wanted to tell him that the private suite was out of service until now but still, I said nothing. I had the panties in my hand and waved it to him. He smiled."Let me have it." He said to me and I raised my brow suspiciously.Nevertheless, I stretched my hand across to hand it to him but he would

Marcie's POV I cleaned up my tears and tried to keep my voice clear so that he does not get worried and start asking a lot of questions."How are you doing, my beautiful daughter?" my father asked through the phone call.I responded to him and waited to hear the reason why he called me on the phone at that time.He usually called me, but I preferred to keep my distance as I would not want to work in his organization with him. There were also some side deals that were done there, and I was against them also. "I can see you have forgotten about your father, but it is not a problem at all. I have something to share with you, and I know that you are going to love it," he tried to raise my hopes.I had already made my decision to strive for myself regardless of his health and properties."Alright, Dad, tell me what you think I would love," I said to him. I did not want to just reject what he had to offer without hearing it from his mouth. "That is my girl. Okay, there is this thin
