ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit chapter 24
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 She hates me. She hates me not.Those were the thoughts in my head when I woke up this morning. I had actually been looking forward to seeing her message, at least acknowledging my own. No idea what I wanted her to say exactly but I had the inkling of the idea to wish she would tell me it did not matter.My heart kept beating really fast and I found myself restless. I needed to see Abigail and at the very least try and make things make sense to her.I found myself the perfect outfit and soon, I was making my way out of the house. I drove to work and on the way, I managed to pass a burger store. The memory of sitting down beside her yesterday and eating happily crossed my mind and I realised that I wanted more of that.Damnit. Why did I have to flee last night? I should have waited to hear what she had to say at least. If she hated me, it would be far better than this silence, right? At least I would know what fate she had decided to mate out to me.Eventually, I arrived at the

Lucas Was this her way of getting back at me? I mean, if this was Abigail trying to seduce me then by the heavens I am seduced.I had not even realised that I had been standing until she looked away."Lucas, Hun, is there a problem?" Lucinda asked me.I furrowed my brows as I tried to retain a firm countenance. No one had to know what I was feeling right now was heartbreaking."Nothing. Could you go wait for me?" I asked her."Come on. You promised." Lucinda said to me.Yes. I had promised because I was not expecting that Abigail would be seated out here. I decided that I would have to deal with this."You did not report to duty, Abigail." I said to her,"I'm sorry, Sir. It will not happen again." She said to me from where she sat without even looking at me.Come on, woman, look at me!"I'm sure your staff would have plenty of time to get punished for slacking but now, we really need to go." Lucinda said to me as she tried touching me seductively around the face.What was she actuall

Lucas It was finally time. I mean, Lucinda believed that she could use the press against me as a weapon and I would sit back and watch. It was finally time to play the same game as her. I was already a rejuvenated man at this point when I realised that all along when I had been scared, Gavin was actually rooting for us. It felt really great that he was not fighting me for his daughter's attention and somehow, I was beginning to feel like I owed him much. At first, it was really hard to believe and I wanted to tell him to come clean on what he was planning on doing to me but I simply kept my mouth shut. It would be best to dwell on his current promise after all.I arrived at the venue for the conference and as soon as members of the press caught sight of me, they were already rushing towards me with a lot of questions spewing from their lips. I was intrigued at the moment with how desperate for information they all were but I made my way inside without saying a single word to them. As

Abigail I should have known that my father would react this way. I mean, what was I expecting? That he would stay silent and ignore me all through without any back up plan? Of course he was going to come over and I had been totally vulnerable at this point.Lucas was pretty much calm that I had not been expecting this sort of reaction from him. He was being respectful to my father in such a way that I was wondering if he would win the old stubborn man over. I have always had my way with my father being paved clearly for me because I was either throwing a tantrum or I was fighting against him. And that was the exact strategy I had been looking forward to sporting. Tormenting him until he had no other options but to give in had been my go to plan and I did not care one bit about anything else.I wanted to ask Lucas to stop but now he has mentioned Lucinda and my father was demanding to know if he had thrown me to her."Of course not, dad. Actually...." Just then, the doorbell rang and

Lucas It was beginning to show down that everything was going in different directions. I had not anticipated that Gavin would find out about us in this way as it would have been a more respectful approach when he was all healed and stuff. Right now, we had to make this decision because it would have been worse if he had to find this out through other means. He was obviously pissed at the moment as we kept trying his number until then, we gave up. I actually asked Abigail to stop because it was not working."Do you think I shouldn't have mentioned it to him?" She asked me."Well, there's no point dwelling in the past. You said that you're ready to fight for us and so am I. How about we figure a way out of this mess together?" I asked her."But what if he hurts himself?" She asked me."Hurt himself, that's not the kind of person Gavin is. He would probably be thinking of how to cut my balls and feed them to his pets. I know that for certain." I said to her and she smiled. Obviously, sh

Abby I was shocked. I had come home with pains and a heavy heart. Seriously I wanted to go drink myself to stupor but I did not have the strength. Lucas had left the office and I came home after work. My phone was ringing over and over again from Taylor and I was in no mood to speak to her. All I could do was keep crying in my room alone because I had a feeling that he was with her. From time to time, I would pick up my phone just to check and see if there was anything from him and her. Maybe I had been partially thinking they would finally decide to make it true and open to everyone that they were sleeping with each other. I just wished this was all a bad dream that I would wake up from but pinching myself and I realised that it was the real deal. I had successfully lost him to the arms of his ex lover and I would learn to live with the pain of the moment we shared.I was wondering who it was that was knocking on my door and a part of me wished he was the one. I wanted to see the lo
ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit chapter 89
LucasI never would have expected in my entire life that I would be this shocked. I had gone there with the clear reasons that I was going to confront her and try getting her to rebuff everything so far. I mean, she had done nothing in the line of denying what was in the news and I was not finding it amusing at this point. So, I just sought to reach an agreement or something when she suddenly mentioned Abigail's name. I stopped for something as I had watched her while she was sleeping with triumph. She knew that she clearly had me by the jugular at this point and by the scruff of my neck which was a bad moment.I thought about the best way to get her off my back and decided to play with her."What are you saying? I'm here for us to discuss your little stunt." I said to her,She suddenly erupted into an annoying laugh that had me provoked."My little stunt you say? Come on now, Lucas. I had never thought of you to be petty as well as crazy. That's her name, the bimbo who you were defen

LucindaIt was time to get ready and my entire apartment was crawling with fashion designers. I had excused myself to shower before coming out to sit down for my hair to get made. I was asked if I had any style in mind but there was actually nothing. I simply wanted the best look that they had to offer. If I was going to make a debut, I was going to look lol. I had never been through hell while doing it. Jarvis on the other hand was really occupied with taking calls and she spoke now with so much authority as I could hear her declining some and leaving others on hold. Each time our gazes met, she would give a thumbs up to me and I would return a smile to her.She was right about one thing, we were back. No, I was the star here and it was my controversy that was the star of the whole show which means she needed me more than I did her. I sat down there and then one of them brought me a catalogue from which I could pick my hair. I did not have the time or energy for such things."Listen,
ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit chapter 87
Lucinda Well I was in the mood at this point. To think that Lucas would ever embarrass me because of that nobody was something I never thought in my wildest dreams would happen. And I saw that look in his eyes. This was the look of a man in love and was not willing to leave that woman. He looked like he could actually kill me while he had been defending her and she had looked at him as I would my very first highschool boyfriend. Now, this was becoming clear that it was no longer a coincidence. I had met him the other day at his office and he was talking to her. The same girl was coming out of his office another day and I was beginning to piece it all little by little. Who on earth was this lady that had this side of him coming out. He was never this protective of me but I could identify when a man was guarding his own and I realised that I had a contender for his attention.I had seen the girl and I already knew she was very young which means that she would bow to pressure but I was

Lucas I could not believe my ears as she spoke to me. Apparently, we might have fooled everyone else but she could tell there was a sort of chemistry between us. She had not been certain but when she had mentioned that Abigail had been led away by Lucinda, the hurry with which I had gotten up was faster than usual. I could have made a call that the security escorts Lucinda out but I went there and took care of it myself. She also mentioned Jack and how I kept questioning her about anything that would bring him close to Abigail. In her own words, it was like a wolf guarding its own and I was stunned. All my efforts at keeping things discreet were beginning to fade away and I was only lucky she said everyone else thought that I hated her. That was a plus as it was bad enough that I had myself wrapped in a scandal but having to drag her into another that would complicate things for her was not something I wanted to deal with."But you said that I was treating her too badly. I mean, you
ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit chapter 85
Lucas There was no best way to explain this to her that she would pay attention to. She was angry and she probably hated me so much that I could not even get through to her. I was observing her as she spoke, she had a rather deeply rooted pain in her and the thought of me being the reason for her pain really hurt. Just a few hours ago, I had been making promises to her and I meant everything I said. I had been ready to come clean with Gavin on how I felt about his daughter but seeing her right now and how angry she was, I started to take a pause. I knew it would be nearly impossible to break through and I would have to figure out a way.There was however one thing that I knew I had to do and that was make this right. I could either do that or convince Abigail that this was all a set up. I watched as she walked away angrily but then returned to take her glasses when I tried to bring her in for a kiss. Not because I was making light of her emotions but I had seen such situations on the
