Lucas Being with her is one thing I can’t discipline myself to stop. All through my stay in the UK, her voice has been the only voice I really wanted to hear, her scent had lingered in my nose, and I smell her all day. I would have not traveled so suddenly if not for the fact that I couldn’t help. I had these strange feelings after I had picked Helen up at her mum’s place. One feeling that I have never felt before. I felt my legs heavy and my joints cracked like the tendons were replaced with a knot. Then, the intense fever and dry throat set in. I managed to go out in search of her when I couldn’t get in touch with her. I didn’t know that it was a mistake, I would have listened to my body and called the doctor that night, but I decided to take the risk by calling him the next morning. It was at midnight that I felt my life draining out of me, I was weak and for the first time, I was helpless. I managed to walk downstairs and Mr. Jones was already waiting in the sitting room. He q
I was at the door when I heard Helen's voice. The excitement of meeting her filled my mind. I thought she was signing, but when I walked closer, I realized she was talking to someone on the phone. I opened the door, hoping that she will notice, but she never did. I stood still and listened to her conversation.I was shocked when I realized that she was talking to my mum. I watched the boldness that she had. She wasn't afraid of looking straight at her. When my dad showed his face too, I expected her to drop the call, but she didn't. She missed me, that's what she said, and my heart leap in joy, realizing that she missed me the same way I missed her.I started feeling guilty, I would have fought harder, I would have stood my ground and told my mum that I have to talk to her. The way she sobs made my heart melt. I never wanted to see her cry, it was one thing I have failed to do and I regretted it. I will make it up to her.I felt my adrenaline raise when she jumped up at me. I was sur
I pretend not to see the confusion on her face when she sees me. I focus on the beautiful dinner gown she wore. It was one of the nicest, decent, party cloth I have seen anyone wear. She put on a long dinner gown, I watched as the remnants drag on the floor as she walked. I know she will not get her eyes off me, so I continued admiring her dress in my mind. I held my glass up to my lips while rotating my eyes around her figure. In no time, she was already in front of us. I try to put up a smile when I finally lifted my eyes to her face.“Hey, guys,” she said when she settled on one of the chairs. “Thank you for finding time to attend our dinner party.” she acted professionally, I didn’t expect her to be that calm when she sees me with the man she had mentioned to be her fiancée. But she didn’t fail to keep her eyes on Lucas, always smiling and adjusting her dress. She looked at him as if she needs approval or a verbal appreciation, and Lucas in turn kept locking eyes with her, but nev
Everyone seems to be watching him, quietly expecting what he will come up with. He still wasn’t saying anything. He looked relaxed as ever. Why Catherine said that I had no idea. Perhaps he wanted to see what Lucas would do when she used my name as a point of attraction. “I have not prepared for this, and I don't like being taken unaware. My COO is not with me, and I can't imagine myself drafting out an opening speech now. Besides, I believe that the organizers of the event should give an opening speech. However, I can donate if my name is mentioned again.” his hand was still on the table. I looked at his face, expecting him to look back as usual, but he never looked in my direction. “That’s true, I think you should open the event, Catherine, tell us the purpose of the event and I believe Mr. Lucas will have enough time to draft out a closing remark.” Sir Mark Chimed in at once. “Alright then, I will go open the event, you know I have blood for this business, it’s my passion and m
Helen At this point, the joy lingers in the air. Everyone was smiling, I took time to look at their faces, except for Catherine. She was not smiling, her gaze was all over me. I could faintly see the anger in her mind. She was the only person that looked out of place, and I knew it was because of me. I wouldn’t let her spoil the joy I have already established in my heart since morning. I lifted my hands for another drink and the waiter came immediately. I had this constant feeling of thirst with every glass of wine I took. It seems the more I drink, the more thirsty I become. “That’s enough, you have had enough.” I knew the voice, I don’t need to be told that he has been watching me. Perhaps he has been counting the number of glasses. “Alright, just this last time,” I replied while looking at his face. At this point, Lucas became a human Angel. I beat my lower lips as every power in me succumbed to his beautiful, soothing voice. I wanted to jump at him and looked at his beautiful
HelenI felt my eyes tickled as the feelings hurt me. The tears keep rolling, If only he knew how much my heart yearned for him. Does he even care? “Answer me please, do you….” he didn’t let me say the word. I watched as his index finger move slowly to my lips. I jerk under his soft touch. Then, accompanied was his thumb finger, He caressed my lips gently, and I shut my eyes to feel every movement of his soft hands. Swiftly, he wrapped his hands around my waist and drew me closer to his chest. I heard his racing heart, drumming like a war drum and threatening to burst out. I moved my gaze to his face, all shades of affection. I could feel his body movement and the strong smell of his Calonge as he gently leaned toward my face. The moment I was waiting for, I tightened my eye lip and opened my heart, and my hands wrapped around his waist as he pined his thin lips on mine.The passion was there, I could feel it, we both took turns in rolling each other's lips, licking, and smacking
Love, they say, is the sweetest thing to happen in an adult life. And so it was in my life after falling for Lucas. But it took some time as everyone else does. After the dinner night, it was like I was condemned to shyness. Looking at Luca's face was difficult as talking to him. I wished I was still myself, staying in the comfort of my company. But it was just a wish, I have been captured by Lucas, and his chains have finally found me. Now I have no choice but to just wish it didn't happen. Perhaps because it wasn't the way I thought my first time will be. All the same, I was carried away by his charm and I enjoyed the moment before now.That morning, I was still in bed thinking of the previous night. Though it was a memory I will always hold on to, it also gave me sadness deep down. I slowly opened my eyelid as his voice echoed in my head. At first, it was like a dream, but when his voice became deeper and the bed rumbled as she sat up, I realize that it wasn't a dream. He was on
CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWOIt was a clear, beautiful morning and I woke up sound and hearty. Everything brings happiness. I didn't need to be reminded that morning has come by, watching Lucas throw his suit on. Rather, I was reminded of that with a kiss. A soft kiss that boasts up the wife in me.I woke up to see a message from the Agency. I was informed that the deal was done with Sir Mark and I need to come over. Another win, my heart was filled with clay as I rushed through all day. I had the feeling that this would be one of my very best.I have never been on TV, so it was the right avenue to push myself into the world. Today, after breakfast, Lucas offered to pick me up for lunch after my meeting at the agency. How sweet the sound, I couldn't decline such an offer, not when the man I cherished so much had offered. I nodded with a calm I didn't feel. He smiled and squeezed my hand with his left hand. I could feel the appetite coming as I pushed the meal down my throat. I came to the agr
