    LucasI opened my eyes and the first people I saw were my parents standing beside me on the hospital bed with tears in their eyes. I looked at my body and my whole chest was covered in bandages,“I’m alive?” I asked slowly and my mother nodded and engulfed me in a warm hug, tears rolled down my eyes as I remembered asking for a second chance to leave before I blacked out, I never knew I could make it out alive, “Son” My father’s voice sounded broken as he hugged us too, I was so ashamed of myself, for all the pain and trouble I’ve caused my parents for all the times they tried to advise me to be nice to Becky and I didn't listen to them, for everything and every pain I have caused them, I was so ashamed of myself and do not deserve them”“I’m sorry, Mum, Dad please forgive me for everything I have done, please forgive me I do not deserve both of you, I thought I was going to die” I cried so hard hugging them and refusing to let go” “It’s okay son” My father muttered patting my back

I was right, the President stood with a tray of food“Is….is…that for me?” I asked pointing at the tray of food and he nodded with a smile“Aish….!” I groaned as that alone gave me goosebumps, back in Lucas mansion I was the one doing this and I still ended up getting rejected every time and now that someone else is doing it for me it felt a little bit weird to me“Can I at least come in?” His voice jolted me out of my thought“Sure, why not” I smile opening the door wider, as I stepped aside while he walked in, he dropped the food in the tray and stood, I walked to the jug

    Mr President I don't know why I asked her to married me, I don't even know why I wanted her close to me, all I know was that the moment I saw her I wanted to own her and make her the happiest woman in the world, I know it's crazy but that's how much I wanted to protect her and make her happy. Honestly I don't care about her past or her marriage, I don't even want to hear about that or the things she's been through. All I know is that I want to make that woman smile. Seeing her smile everyday will be the best thing that happened to me and I cannot wait for that to happen. This is the first time in my life that I genuinely want to care about someone and love someone. After what happened to my father and me, I completely distanced myself from the outside world just focussed on my life and that's all, but when I hear that I would be collaborating with the only daughter of a multi millionaire who just annulled her marriage with her husband and is heavily pregnant at the moment, I don't k

    Becky“Becky come downstairs, we are going to be late for the party!” “I’m coming mother, I’m almost ready” I yelled from my room taking one last look at myself in the mirror. I was good to go. I took my silver handbag which I laid on the bed and left my room. Being the only child of multi-millionaire parents means that I always attend every business party with my parents. They like introducing me to their business partners all over the world, be it in or outside the country.I’m more excited about today’s party because I’m going to be meeting my long-time crush, Lucas Douglass, the heir to a multi-billion dollar Empire. I fell in love with Lucas the first day my parents took me to a business party, and since then I have been stalking Lucas both on social media and in real life. Lucas is so beautifully made, he's everything I have always wanted in a man, he's tall, handsome with his dark long hair and seducing green eyes, damn! Just thinking about him got me so excited already.Lucas

    BeckyAfter what happened yesterday at the party, I ran away and took a taxi back home and since then I’ve locked myself up in my room refusing to open the door for anybody. I was trying so hard to tell myself that Lucas didn't see me before he kissed that woman, or maybe he did but he didn't recognize me, even at that he was not supposed to be kissing another girl especially when the both of us are going to get married soon, or maybe it was the girl that wanted the kiss, shit! J don't even know what to think anymore I’m just trying my hardest not to believe what I saw, I love Lucas so much and I’m not going to give up on him, I believe I can teach him to love me, “Becky open the door!” My mom yelled from the outside knocking on my door. I've refused to open the door for anybody ever since yesterday that I locked myself up.“Go away Mother I need my space” “Are you still going to ask me to go away even when I tell you that Lucas is here”My eyes widened immediately on hearing that n
