ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit chapter 22
Lucas I took one more look at the package she had left me and realised how big these burgers were. She probably had bought two to ensure that I was satiated and I felt a small smile creep into my lips.I thought about going out to get a drink when I realised that lunch time was not so far off. I smiled, I would probably send for her and then demand she eats one of the burgers in front of me as punishment for trying to ruin my body. That way, I would get her to eat right in front of me.One would not be totally wrong to assume that I was being a pervert right now but for Abigail, I would begrudgingly say that it was worth it. So, instead I started browsing through the stock market news and that was a wrong move. As soon as I had gotten deep, I totally lost track of time and then, it was a few minutes already into their lunch time.I recalled that I had observed Abigail and noticed she never really went to lunch since she joined us which was a bonus as I called for Ray."Sir?" He answ

AbbyOf course he was going to use that line. I mean, he was such a petty bastard who would stop at nothing to make me feel bad."Of course I do learn! I learnt only from this little internship that my father's friend is an ass. I learnt that all he cares about is his egoistic self and even more, I learnt what a slave driver he is!" I yelled at him.Tears were falling from my eyes despite my decision not to ever cry before him. These were tears of anger actually but they might as well be interpreted for something else. Quickly, I started wiping the tears off my eyes as I sniffed over and over again."Are you crying?" He asked me, obviously pretending to care.I scoffed."Like you care, right? You don't need to bother yourself. I'm not crying, okay?" I yelled out the words."Here." He said as he noticed I was still trying to clean the tears with the back of my palms. Seriously, why on earth would it not stop pouring out?I mean, this man was actually beginning to think I was crying be

Lucas I had her worked up and even now, I was ashamed of myself. I should have done better than this drama but here I was, being petty.It was not in my best interest that she had shed tears and I tried offering her my handkerchief which she rejected. It hurt me even more. What monster was I becoming all in bid to tell myself that I felt nothing for her? I mean, it was not her fault that I had to be the pervert and admire her, right?It was all on me and I needed to fix this. However, I decided to make it up to her and asked her to grab the burgers. I did not want to assist so it can not be said that I was playing nepotism or something.It was only with the car that I assisted and that should be reasonable enough as her hands were full. She sat down beside me as I drove and I could not help but feel drawn to her.Gosh, why on earth did she have to look so beautiful and attract me? I was never one drawn to women as young as Abigail but here she was,. making my world go crazy with her

AbbySomeone really needs to tell me exactly why my heart is beating so fast right now because this man was really getting into my head.I had not expected this turn of events with him and how he had suddenly become so nice and different made me wonder if I was hearing him right.Tentatively, I had followed him through the woods whilst questioning my sanity on whether or not I should turn heels and run. But then, where would I be running to?Right?What if I run into an actual killer who might want to butcher me or something? Would I have the luxury of being able to stare in those pairs of eyes again?What was I even thinking of right now? I should be consoling myself with the fact that he was my father's friend and had charge to look after me. That alone should be a good enough reason for him to want to look after me. He would not want to be caught explaining to my father how I had died, right?Besides, everyone did see me leave with him from the office. Even if all should lie about

Lucas There she sat.. just a few inches away from me and all I wanted to do was pull her in closer and embrace her. Abigail was really something of a beauty and the way she threw her head back when she laughed was a total turn on for me. All I wanted was to reach over and pull her in.She might have been enjoying the fish but I was enjoying her. This space and moment we shared. Somehow, I did not want it to end at all. I wanted more and more of this situation between us two.If possible, I would stop time for us to stay in this space a little longer. I actually looked forward to being out on sea with her and that made me wonder what she would think of this like.Eventually, we ran out of burgers and then we were quiet as we sat down side by side staring ahead of us. I looked and noticed that the boat was beginning to come closer and I decided that would be another distraction."Our ride will be here soon." I said.She looked and smiled with so much delight. Gosh, I wanted that smile

Abby It was indeed the time of my life and each passing minute, I could not help but wonder what it would be like if I had this moment with him forever.He was clearly still treating me as his friend's daughter but I could not help but wonder if for a split second, he saw me as a woman. I mean, I for sure did not see him as an uncle but as a man that he was. A very handsome one at that. He radiated everything great.Through our time on the boat, I wanted him to forget himself for even a split moment and hold me. Anything romantic would definitely put my mind at ease but he was just too uptight. Even when he laughed so heartily, he still was being wary around me.I decided to drink. At least to see if the notion of me being drunk would make him momentarily forget. He was just too headstrong and I was just too determined as I set my mind on my goal. Eventually, I asked him to dance with me. The moment he touched me, I was shook within.Why could he not just see it? Was it not obvious t

Lucas 'Lucas, drive away'These were the words my conscience probably was screaming at me when I watched her getting out of the car. But then, should I feel angry that I was in love with Abigail?Perhaps, the fact that she was my friend's daughter made that a plausible reason to do so but she was just here and I would confess, I never felt more peaceful around anyone like I did with her.I could not take it and I decided to get down the car and take the bull by the horns. I went around and I lost control.I knew actually that the moment I set my feet down from the car, I would totally lose myself to temptations.I grabbed hold of her face and I kissed her. She did not respond. Even when I tried to search, she just stood there and I realised that I was pushing it.What was I thinking? She probably never thought of such things before and now, I had to go and make things awkward between us two.What if she tells Gavin? How do I tell him it was a mistake when I clearly came down from my

Abby What was my problem really? I should understand that this man did not care about me but here I was crying myself to stupor over his message.At a point, I just had to straighten up as I could not go on like this indefinitely. I was so exhausted but no way would I bring myself this low.It was at this point that I noticed my phone buzzing. It was my father. Gosh, why did he have to start calling now of all times?I mean, it seemed the best moment because if he had called a couple of hours ago, it would have been when I was on the boat cruise and my phone away from me. Knowing my father, if he calls when I'm not home and I fail to take the call, he would ultimately assume the worst.I stopped crying as I reached over for my handkerchief with which I dried my eyes."Be strong, Abigail." I whispered as I took the call. "Hey, dad.""I was beginning to think you've abandoned me." He teased me and I chuckled."No, dad. I was not close to my phone." I lied and just then, I sniffed when

Lucas I finished work and decided to go straight to the restaurant reservation. By this time, every staff member including Abigail was already gone from the office and I made my way to my car. I got inside as I started driving to the place.As she has said, it was a private reservation in a room away from the rest. I informed the receptionist and she called someone to lead me inside the VIP areas. This was a really big restaurant.The moment I entered where our reservation was, I noticed that Lucinda was already there. She smiled as she saw me and I first observed my area.There was this redness to the room from the lights to the seat that made me feel a lump in my throat. What was this sly she-cat playing at this time? She herself wore a rather low cut dress that exposed most of her cleavage that had me wondering if her plot was to get laid.There was a bottle of wine on the table and table water. Along with a ring up button."See, private." She said to me,I nodded as I went to tak

Abigail He was playing with my emotions. He did not need to say it but I could tell very well what he was doing.However, I decided that I had enough of Lucas stirring the wheel and cut him off at the but. I knew it would not go down well if I had let him continue because it would all lead straight to Jack again. Would he not try and understand that there was absolutely nothing between Jack and I short of the fact that he was my colleague. The only one that cared deeply about me even.Eventually, he succumbed and I was impressed at the straightforwardness of his apology. One would even mistake him for the gentleman he was portraying. Well, trust Lucas to ruin everything and this time he made the claim that he did not antagonize his staff.Wait, his staff? What was I? Because from the very first day I had come to his office, it had always been me on the receiving end of his antagonistic behaviour. Everyone knew he hated me and now, he wanted to play saint? Nor at all.I decided that I

Lucas She did not even let me finish. Not like I was going to say anything far from what she imagined because I wanted to let her know how compromising their position had been. Anyone who would come inside at the time would definitely begin to think there was something deeper between them both. I did not want that. I could not imagine Abigail being attached to another man as all I desired was that she be mine. Even though that was beginning to seem like wishful thinking.She could have stayed back where she was. Why on earth did Gavin have to bring her back to torment me? I would not blame my friend. He probably had not the tiniest hint of ideas that I, his best friend, was in love with his daughter. He would no sooner demand my head than approve it. However, I was going to remain grateful to Gavin for one thing. The fact that he had allowed her to even come close to me was something I will not trade for anything else. I was glad I had her company.She was waiting for my apology. Th

Lucas I needed the air. Staying in here with her was really suffocating and I was not even referring to the noise. Hell, I could sit down all day and watch her make her call without feeling a single tinge of anger. She was really beautiful and her voice was soothing.I wanted to even try to speak to the clients on the list but as expected, I flopped. Abigail had this all figured out and I would be a big idiot if I tried to do it again. I managed to get through one phone call and that was it. I knew I had done my best and handed her the phone.Alright, Abigail. Go ahead and laugh. I had seen her gleaming as she probably was wondering if it would be nice if she said it to my face. But she retained it inside and took the next call smoothly. That was all I needed to leave. I went out and when I came into the staff quarters, I noticed how they were looking at me. Good thing I stepped out before they started to think that there was something between Abigail and I. I started strolling aroun

AbbyI could notice how bright this young man's attraction towards me was. He was a great friend to me but I was trying my best not to make it seem that I was just out of reach. I blamed myself and my unnatural attraction to an old man who would never be mine. Hell, he even had himself his own girlfriend and here I was fawning over him despite his harsh treatment towards me.I smiled at him because he was still such a great friend to me. He did actually care about me."I did come. I noticed you were away." I said to him,"Oh, I mean, did you get my little gift?" He asked me, expectantly.Oh, I remember. I felt really bad that I was about to lie to him about the coffee drink."Yes. Very lovely. I enjoyed the coffee. It was really nice. Thank you, Jack." I said to him,"You're welcome. You know, I did not actually know what flavour to get you and I decided that I should get you that one." He said to me,Now, I didn't even know one bit about the kind of coffee he had given to me. Thank G

Abby He was really enjoying all this, right?It was clear that he wanted to frustrate my entire efforts and I was letting him get to me. I glared severally at him but Lucas did not seem to care when I asked him if I could leave. He had demanded that I sat down which I respectfully did.Seriously, I needed to meet someone who knew him as a child as it was really clear to me that he must have been a really selfish one. How on earth would he keep blackmailing me with my own words and all I could do was watch him. It was like I did not have anything to say for myself. He would instantly avert everything to me quitting just to dare me and I could tell he would mock me before my father as a quitter. Besides, if I was going to manage my father's company, it was all going to depend on his assessment.Far be it that he should say I was inefficient and lazy. Or that if my father eventually hands the company to me, he would lay on the nepotism narrative. I wanted to pass through his annoying be

Lucas I was a jerk, right? I had just kept pushing with my demands and ultimately when I started to speak about her trying to get the attention of Jack, it had been as a way to call her to order. How on earth would I have known that she would in fact begin to claim that whatever she had to do with him was her personal life. A personal life with Jack or anyone right now was not good enough for me. I needed to always be in the know of whatever she was doing and whoever she was seeing.She was not having herself a personal life and that's final.I lost my cool and started to seek further ways to have her hurt. She had to know somehow that I was bleeding in my heart even though I knew she would not even care however I was feeling but I just had to try for both our sakes.Seeing nothing was being achieved by the whole back and forth argument with her, I demanded that she go wash off the makeup. In my own twisted mind, it would hurt her and make her out of the eyes of others. Although, tha

AbbyHe was baiting me clearly but I would not stand it. What was even wrong with him?I had carefully left my seat for his office as he had demanded while he went to see off his girlfriend. All my insides were boiling from both rage and jealousy combined. It was as if he had taken a double edged sword and drove it right through my chest but I tried my best to maintain my cool.Yet, I could not help but wonder why he had kissed me if he was going to flaunt his woman the very next morning. It was as clear as crystal that he meant to hurt me but why kiss me back then? My mind was wavering with contempt and worse still, I wanted to find something to hate about Lucinda. I mean, I tried to find flaws about her and then I happened to settle for her artificialism. I mean, she certainly had work done on her body. Her breasts were done, she had botox and fillers on her face even though somehow, hers were not botched. Her ass too was done.Was that what he preferred? Women that had work done? I

Lucinda "Come on, Jarvis. There should be something for me." I cried out to my manager.Six months now and still the directors were not willing to forget that one mistake. I had been unable to get any role as everyone would rather avoid the actress with the scandal. How that tape had leaked was still something really baffling and right now, all I could do was wallow in both regret and shame.Jarvis had constantly warned me against dating Molloy but I would not listen. He was rich and hot and not to mention, he was from a royal home. I was already envisioning myself as his wife and how this sort of fairytale romance would boost my career. It would get me places. I mean, the fact that I was even affiliated to him was already getting me roles.I might be good but that was not enough in the industry. There were others even better. It was all a game of knowing what the directors wanted and having the right contacts.But then, the tape leaked. Neither of us had any knowledge of how but Mo
