Her voice sent chills down my spine. I was supposed to be angry, why am I letting fear find me? I said to myself. I picked up the little piece of anger that had refused to be scared, to reply to her. Just as I was about to give her the most brutal verbal banter I have ever given anyone, I remembered Jude, poor and scared Jude, that meant nothing other than good intentions towards me. I paused and tamed the burning rage inside of me. I must not drag him into this. I have to respect his bravery. It takes a courageous man to do what he did. Despite knowing that, telling me about Jane and Catherine's conspiracy may bring awful consequences, he still went ahead.

“You allow them to take her away?” she added. Maybe because she was impatience, couldn’t wait for my reply. I looked around the spacious room, trying still to calm myself, then I realize I have almost ruined the gown in my hands. I have unconsciously transferred my aggression to the poor cotton.

    I couldn’t tell why, but the first person my brain interpreted to me was Buzz. Then the memories of that cold day came. His evil smile, white hat, clown laugh, cold voice, punches, screams, Sandra’s words, Lucas's serious face, shifted sleeves, everything. I felt my head about to burst, I stood blank like someone who had just gotten a revelation. My eyes were fixed on the figure, but wasn’t seeing anyone. Maybe I did, but the shock bared my brain from interpreting. “Miss, Helen,” I felt a hand on my shoulder, it was gentle but the roughness that he use to shake me got me out of the trance. I sprang at once and robbed my eyes with my palm. What is happening to me? Why am I seeing things that have passed? Must be the effect of what happened earlier.“Are you okay?” a familiar voice came out after my brain as finally settled. I looked in that direction and it was Sir Mark. “I’m sorry if I have startled you. I didn’t mean to do such,” he said with his hand still on my shoulder. I shifte

    Dallas was a beautiful city, one I would always visit over and over again if I had the chance. Though the poisoning incident touched every part of my weakness, I still consider working with Sir Mark the most enjoyable moment of my life so far. After the TV show, Sir Mark arranges another dinner party, which he calls send forth. I would only say thank you and participate because saying no to Sir Mark is a total waste of time. Every member of the crew gathered. Cooled music filled the air, and soft and strong wine was exuberant. And of course, I take pleasure in enjoying a few glasses of strong wine. I let go, loosen up, and enjoy every moment as If it were my last. Austin was already on my mind. The crib of my better half was just a few hours from now. I was in the midst of 4 with me making 5 but it was as if I was alone in solitude. The chatter, laughing, and even the cool music which helped me enjoy the drink Fell on deaf ears. My quietness took over me, causing me to travel as far

    Honestly, I didn't know what I felt at the moment. Could it be that my brain is not functioning well—thus interpreting every sound from my ears as familiar? "It's me, ma'am, I am alive and fully active." That was good news, although I haven't sat down on my own and thought of him for a long time, I was happy he has recovered. I couldn't forget that voice. The voice that stood up for me when Buzz wanted to hurt me. The one man that paid a great price to save me."It's good to have you back." It was indeed to see him back again. I leaned forward and robbed my hand on his shoulder briefly. I continued looking at the magazine I got from the reporters as the car sped along the free road. I nearly jumped out of the car window, I screamed "Yes" over 5 times. My excitement filled the car. The driver, and the bodyguard in front and behind me all turned in my direction. I knew my voice was loud, but I'm sorry I couldn't help. I looked at each of them and waved a bit to show that I was sorry

    I waited for her reply, should it be what I was thinking, then today's joy will cease. "Do you mean he doesn't work here anymore?" My eyes were all over her face. I needed a perfect explanation, more than what I have seen in her face."Not really, his permanent office is not here again. It's now Paxacon." Paxacon? The biggest oil and gas company in Texas. How come? "Why is he there, sorry," "I don't know ma'am, what I know for sure is that Paxacon is a subsidiary of Triple Friends Group of Companies. Maybe he will also be overseeing the work there too." I nodded my head and watched as she returned to the desk and started typing on the laptop. Slowly, Lucas is taking his position as the overall CEO. Taking over Paxacon means taking over more wealth. Paxacon is not like the modeling agency; it's oil and gas, which means more work and more money."Any other thing ma'am?" Her voice made me spring and snapped my eyes in her direction. From her tone, I could tell that was indirectly sayi

    Something wasn't right, all the eyes turned in my direction. If I could, I would have disappeared from there. I lowered my eyes and clutched my bag with both hands. I should have waited for him. The aura that filled the room was intimidating. Would have stood firm and looked up at their faces if I had felt anything less. "We will have to adjourn, I need to attend to my wife" No other person would say that except Lucas. I lifted my dull face, swallowed the fright that I once felt, and looked at him. There he was, in his best mood, with a black suit over a white striped shirt. The man of my dreams. I smiled as I heard that from him. He has done nothing since I met him other than being sweet. His way of treating me like a queen made me love him more. The table scattered immediately, the men packed up, the ones with documents picked them up, and the ones with iPad, and keys carried them and found their way to the door. "Good day, Mrs. Dowell" they greeted once they reached where I s

    Those words sank into my heart, causing my heart a lot of pain. I looked up at Lucas, his eyes were also on me. I needed help, not just from any person, but from him. As if he knew what was going on in my mind, he stood from his seat and walked towards me. His palms were cold, and as he hugged me, I felt his heart pumping faster than normal. I felt a liquid drop from his face to my head, I looked up from his chest, I thought he had shaded tears, but it was just his sweat. I wasn't disappointed, the sweat was more than tears. It makes me know how touched he was, how well he understands how I'm feeling, and how willing he is to help me. Because if not so, what would make a healthy man sweat in an AC room?"Pls help me, Lucas, I don't want to lose my mum." "Not a string of her hair will miss. I promise you that." He was so sure, I could feel it, from his voice I believed him. He turned to the guy sitting next to me."Where did the call come from?""Block 432 Enfield, Sir." He nodded a

    Lucas.30 mins after I had waited in the isolated part of the cemetery. I rented the place for some of the meetings I have to keep a secret. Aside from Mr. Philip and 2 other people, I have invited to see me in the place, no other person knew about it.I was restless, I could recall, like my childhood memory verse, all the stuff Catherine told me. Her affiliation with Buzz surprises me the most. She even threatened to use her knowledge of my contract marriage with Helen to threaten me.The thoughts were just so much for me, I hated the feelings. Most importantly, the way it made me look at Helen, the love of my life. I regretted acting strange with her, I would have been more shrewd. As I sat there wondering what my next move would be, I resolved to treat Helen with extra care, even when I wanted to know if she was hoarding secrets within her. A red Jeep drove into the cemetery, I looked up to observe who the driver was. I faintly saw a man with a shade and a fair lady in the back se

    LucasThroughout the day, she was on my mind. I have waited for 2 weeks for her, and finally she will return. The excitement of seeing her again was all over me, my face was bright, and I seemed happier than before. I was in a meeting with the former directors of Paxacon. Paxacon Oil and gas company is one of the subsidiaries of The Triple Friends group of companies, and it has been added to my management. I resumed 3 days ago, I needed to meet with the former runners of the company and discuss everything I need to know about it. I joined the meeting immediately after I entered the office since it was scheduled for 8 am. I have been in the conference room with them for a couple of hours.I had to end the meeting at once after Mr. Philip whispers that my wife is waiting at the door. To crown it all, he said she looked timid. I know I will not focus even if I force myself to be. I adjourned the meeting and asked him to bring her in.

    HELEN POV"Why are you crying, Mr. Downell," I said between my breaths, trying to sit up."You are surely stronger than you look. I never expected this from a woman." He stretched out his hand and helped me sit up. I chuckled. "There was a fire outbreak, I saw it spread before my eyes while I was on the phone with you. It was so violent that I thought I would die. But a man came in and saved me. I need to thank him.""The man is right here, I saved you. The little witch wanted to kill you." Perplexed by his words."Did you come with a chopper?" I watch him gently."And who is the little witch that intends to kill me? I believe I was careless with the gas cooker. I must have forgotten to turn it off after heating the water." "After the incident, there was an investigation. Every room was searched and a gallon of fuel was found in Catherine's room. The police even saw your room card in her purse. She set the room ablaze to kill you." My mouth widened, and a rush of chill ran down my s

    Helen POV" You should have called before you came," Lucas said as he poured glasses of wine."Can't I surprise my husband again?" He smirked and handed over one of the glasses to me."You keep making me dismiss meetings. The point is I can't focus while you're waiting." A wry smile escaped my mouth. He sounded sweet and sexy. "It's not my fault then, you are probably drunk on love." I teased curling up my legs. He ran his hand over his face before revealing a beautiful smile. Watching him smile like that was rare, but trust me it was remarkable. I don't know Lucas as someone who could indulge in conversations that require teasing. But here he is smiling at it wholeheartedly."Well, I couldn't go home since mum is always busy with cooking. So I decided to stop by and share with you the good news I heard in the office today." Lucas's eyes lit and he rested on his chair."Alright then, I'm all ears." "It's about the Oscars, Catherine told me I should be expecting not less than 8 award

    Helen POVI opened my eyes to a familiar sight and a chuckle escaped my mouth. I thought everything and everywhere would all be painted white, my garments white and my shoulders would grow wings. I closed my eyes, sucked in a deep breath as I sprayed my legs over the soft hospital bed. I had longed for heaven but it seems it's way far from me."Good morning." A soothing voice whispered behind me. A rush of adrenaline flushes through my system. I knew the voice. It was also familiar. I didn't know if I was thrilled to hear his voice again but I was certain that something inside me wanted to go back to sleep."Aren't you going to at least answer?" The then whispered voice sounded cold again. "Good morning, Lucas," I answered with my eyes still closed. Then the memories came in like wildfire. I remembered a vague gunshot, the bubbles, and the shortness of breath, all of them filled my head that instant. I sat up and flicked my eyes to clear the thoughts as my heart continued to pound vi

    The anger of seeing Helen in pain engulfed me, the wicked adrenaline rushed through my veins and I felt like consuming Buzz whole like a wildfire. But each time Helen cries out my heart aches. I felt weakened and broken. I have just realized yet again how much she's into me. Helen has eaten up the greater part of me and the only thing I found worthy of doing was to make her smile again. Make her free from pain, give her rest, and reunite her with her mother.It wasn't impossible, I had been trained in a paramilitary program, and I graduated from different martial arts schools. The strategy was simple, it was even fun to use it with Buzz. He's nothing but a piece that needs to be shown its place. So fixing him was not a problem.I only needed to exhibit a bit of professionalism to think out the right way to deal with him. If I pay attention to my anger like the first time, I might get shot again. I wasn't surprised when I heard Helen shout. To her, it was a shock so she needed to rea

    Helen POVStanding head to head, eyeballs to eyeballs I could feel Lucas's anger. His eyes have narrowed. That wasn't a good sign. If his anger gets over him, we all will be dead. His men were a distance away. There's no way they will reach us before Buzz men who were already on standby with their guns pointed at them pull the trigger.Tears escaped my eyes. Before me, Buzz had vowed to make sure Lucas felt the same pain he felt. With the way he held his eyes, I noticed he was dead serious. Buzz smirked and stepped backward avoiding Lucas's forehead which had almost scratched his face."You are quite brave for a man. I admire that. But your snare can not move me an inch, it can not stop the mission either." Lucas maintained a calm aura, he looked up at me and I begged him immediately to turn back and go."It's better to die alone than to die with you, Lucas. Run, please, save yourself so you can take care of my mother." Lucas's eyes became wet as he fixed his gaze on me, ignoring the

    the chain rolled to the waters. "Buzz! Lucas called out with a megaphone. The muscles in his neck stood with his hair. Buzz lifts his hand and the cage stops rolling. He grinds as he realizes that he has finally been able to control and make the mighty Lucas who has never bent a knee to anyone succumb to his voice. " Please, let them go, Buzz. Take me. Is it not me you want?" That was the first time I heard Lucas beg. I watched him break down on the floor of the floating boat. That wasn't the only thing, his voice shook like someone in deep panic. What a rare sight of Lucas. I felt his inner pain and my heart ached for him. I wanted everything to stop, I wish it was just a dream. But sadly, it was a reality that I couldn't escape from, I had to face it till the very end. At this point I was ready, I knew Buzz would not let me go without hurting me because I caused everything that Lucas did to him. But if he must kill me, he must set my mum free. At least I can joyfully die knowing

    Helen's POVMy bones ached, Buzz had pounded me, and his beatings were brief because he feared I might die and his mission to make Lucas succumb would be aborted. "You've had enough, for now, but I must apologize for not giving you the same beatings Lucas gave me." He started a cruel laugh. There was a pause when one of his men approached and whispered in his ears."Quick, cover her up and put her in the cell." He ordered before walking out of the room. Just as Buzz had ordered, one of his men immediately grabbed me by my shoulder and dragged me out of the room. It was then I knew that I was on a sailing cruise ship. The cold breeze gave me goosebumps. When I saw the water, my stomach rumbled, and I threw out chunks of what I didn't remember eating. "Filthy slut, come over here" I felt a heavy blow on my neck and I lost balance and fell to the ground. He wrapped my hair around his palm and pulled me to himself. I howled in pain but he ignored my voice. He signals another guard."Y

    The smell of antiseptic filled my nose and I opened my eyes to the sight of strange but familiar surroundings."Damn, I'm in the hospital again." I breathed out. I hated this place called the hospital. But there I was, in an automated bed, amid big machines and equipment without a clue about how I ended up there. I tried to lift my hand but I was too tired to lift it. A beeping sound kept resounding in my ears from the direction of my left hand and I looked down only to find a female hand wrapped around my chest. I gathered all the strength left in me and managed to adjust. "You're awake, you scare me. Please don't do that again." She said sobbing. I widened my eyes as I stared at my mum's pale skin. "What are you doing here?" I managed to speak and I felt a sharp crack on my neck. I groan in pain and bend my neck to one side. She raised her hand frantically. I saw the panic in her eyes and it hurt my heart."Stay still please, don't talk. I'll go get the doctor." She got up immedi

What will happen to me If anything bad happens to them? I would have not just stayed back, had faith that Lucas could handle the deadly gang stars all by himself. Where will I start from? How will I be of help? I slide my hand into my hair as I think of what to do. I was uneasy, walking around the sitting room like a mad woman. No one would see me and not think of me that way. "What would I do if they were captured? I would find the secret place where they hid them and rescue them." I thought to myself. Now, if my thoughts are correct, how will I find the hidden place? My brain was not helping at all, the thoughts that came were negative all through."But the broadcaster said there was a shooting in Enfield, what would happen next if Lucas was shot?" I started analyzing again. "Certainly, Lucas would
