ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit chapter 29
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

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

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

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

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

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

AbbyAs I had just woken up and went to start getting prepared for work. Now, I heard the internet and I remembered my squabble with Lucinda and it struck me that she might have tried to pull a stunt. What could she actually say that would hurt me? She might call me a boyfriend snatcher and Lucas would shun it all when he makes it clear that I was his girlfriend. So, what exactly was it? That was when Taylor started to tell me the most unbelievable thing that I have ever heard. She stated that Lucas' relationship with Lucinda was currently trending online and I rebuffed her that it was probably old news but she said there were pictures suggesting otherwise. She explained that from what she could tell, this was probably their way of announcing that they were actually back together. What? I was shattered but then my friend was calling me and I had to pretend that I was here."I'm here, Tay." I said."Okay. I'm really sorry. I actually thought the man was mature enough to want to stand
ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit chapter 83
AbbyWho would have ever thought that a night that was supposed to be full of all kinds of romantic activities would morph into a night of cuddles. I have never been held as intimate as I was being held right now and despite the yearning for more, I found this oddly most satisfying. The feel of this man's hand as he caressed my skin was something I would never trade for something else. I laid there and was lost in that moment and memory. The discussion we had also stuck to my head like glue and it was almost as if I was reliving it at some point. I was excited and started looking forward to how we both would come together to tell my father what we wanted. I mean, the old man would not be pleased but I would have to make him understand that this was purely love. At least, that was what I thought sincerely until the next morning. Lucas had gotten off the bed and got dressed properly as he needed to get home and prepare for work. I noted that it would be best if he keeps an extra suit
ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit chapter 82
LucasI was glad that finally I had found myself a woman that stood on the same page as I did and she was just perfect. That night was already solemn enough for us two and I was not going to try and make love to her. We already had a lot of talk about Gavin and I knew that going for her sexually would make it seem like I only craved that. We went to sleep in each other's arms and then I woke up the next morning early enough to know that I would have to go start getting ready for work.I had gotten home in time and my cleaning lady was already there when I started preparing. I finished up and I drove myself to work and it was then that I remembered that I had missed a call last night. I decided that I would check on it in the office and call the person involved. I was just getting to the office when I noticed some people huddled around and this was really strangely familiar. There was a bus parked down the street and I drove inside. The moment I stepped down, there were cameras clickin
ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit chapter 81
Lucas Right here, in this very moment, was where I wanted to be. I was really excited that I had finally made it here and so far, there was actually no drama between us. Abigail did not even ask about the whole Lucinda drama which made me feel really great about what was happening between us. I watched as she straddled me and then asked her if she was not going to let me get inside her but she smiled and I knew she had an ace up her sleeves. I asked her about what she was planning to do and she asked me if I thought she was going to do something and I shook my head. This girl truly had me wrapped up around her fingers and I was clearly letting her do that without any questions of the sorts. I watched her movements and I knew that she was trying her hardest to seduce me. That was when my phone started ringing and I was wondering who it was. My first thought was that Lucinda was calling me again and I chose to ignore it as I focused on Abigail's pretty face. She asked me why I was no

Abby"Wow, finally you're offering free rides, Jack. I have always wondered what it would be like in that super nice care of yours." Someone said and I turned to find the supervisor approaching. I swear I would hug this woman desperately if I could at the moment.She was already coming over and from the look on Jack's face, he was not cool with it at all. He smiled and then started to ask which way she was going when the woman told him that she lived around where I did. I was worried immediately as I started wondering if this was true? I mean, if she knew where I lived, that could mean that she has seen Lucas. Now, I would really need to figure that out but Jack was speaking again. He said of course and came to open the front door. Anyone could tell from how he looked at me that he had done that for me but she went on to thank him as she got inside the car. Jack hid his anger and then handed me my bag as he came to open the back seat for me with great reluctance. The moment I got in,
ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit chapter 79
AbbyHaving Lucas stand up for me was a whole different level that I had not been prepared for. I had not been expecting it at all. When he had rescued me from Lucinda, I had been anticipating that he would probably be compassionate towards her and I would much later ask him what was so complicated about his relationship with her but alas, that was not the case as he had scolded her as she deserved. I would have thought that would be enough until we went back inside and he called everyone to attention and started asking questions. The moment everyone had turned their gazes on Sarah, I realised that I was not amazed. But then, Donna had called her out when she tried to sell her story and I instantly knew why she had done that. Apparently, Sarah had been expecting that a scent would stem up between Lucinda and I but then she was disappointed. If everything had gone as planned, she would have had something to come to play sympathy with and then at the same time, castigate me before all
ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit chapter 78
LucasThe moment we entered, Abigail started playing her part really well when she thanked me for stepping up for her. I told her it was all on her supervisor who had come to inform me in due time. She turned respectfully to the woman and started thanking her. At least, we knew how to play coverups with them all. I then decided to let her supervisor know that I would be taking Abigail off her hands fully as I would be moving her to my office. She would learn alongside my assistant. The woman did not seem too happy and asked me right there if I was trying to punish Abigail for going out earlier as she had been the one who sent her when she thought that Abigail had been off work for sometime now. I smiled and then shook my head as I reassured her that this was not the case. I actually believed that regardless of everything, Abigail did possess potential."I told you so. I'm actually really glad you're considering her." She said to me,"Well, that's if Miss Abigail here would put in her
ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit chapter 77
Lucas I watched Lucinda leave and I felt a huge sense of relief that she was gone. All I could think of right now was Abigail and I was more or less excited that it was all done. I patted my pocket where I had her panties in and smiled to myself with so much relief boldly spelt out on my face. Eventually, I reclined back on my seat as I started thinking about how I would be going about the rest of the day. I would probably stop by a florist and get her flowers. I mean, every woman loves flowers, right? Then probably add a pack of chocolates and a very alcoholic wine to get us really into that mood. Although the both of us were together alone, I knew that we did not need wine for anything. I was just being cocky and also smart at the moment. I was already getting deep into my thoughts when someone walked over and knocked. I screamed at my assistant that I had asked him to resolve whatever would be coming to me when the supervisor called out to me. I was definitely going to be pisse
ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit chapter 76
AbbyThere was something else she wanted to know and she needed to see me. I started rubbing my eyes with my hands so it would give off enough red before I stood up and flushed the toilet. I walked out and she saw me, there was so much pity in her eyes. She told me she had not been expecting that I would cry that much and asked me to wash my face while she waited. I was still doing so when she went off to her next question. This was about Lucinda and I totally disliked it. I was already hating the lady and I did not need more reminders on why I did that. I asked her what she wanted to know about the lady and she started off with the story of how I had been in the office when she entered."Surely, she must have reacted with jealousy to you. I mean, did she say anything at all to you?" She asked me."Actually, no. When she arrived, I was already out with Mr Lucas' assistant. He had me filling out something and I think it's related to the whole arrangement for tomorrow." I said to her an
