Her Husband's Rival: Lucianda's Revenge Chapter 9: The Lesson!
Working into the small cafe half an hour later, Lucianda went directly to the customer’s counter to ask of the boss.Laura was bringing out a tray of meals for a customer when her boss ran to her. He almost fell the tray she was holding in his eagerness to talk to her.“What are you doing, Laura?” He cried nervously.Wondering if the boss was trying to scold her for something she had done, Laura took a step backward. Her boss could sometimes be mean in his words and actions.“I was going to serve a customer, sir.” She answered quietly.“Serve a customer? But why?” He asked in a fearful tone.Wondering if her boss was having a fever, Laura answered slowly.“Because it’s my job?” She asked with a raised eyebrow.“Yea yea, your job but not when your sister is here to see you. It will not reflect well on us.” He was anxious as he took the tray from her lifeless fingers.“My sister is here?” Laura wanted to add, ‘But I don’t have a sister?’“Yes and she is waiting for you right now in the
Her Husband's Rival: Lucianda's Revenge Chapter 10: Show of Power
It's sometimes necessary to pull weights…*****Seeing the man's hesitation and reading his mind clearly, Lucianda turned to Laura.“Laura? Did I tell you about the small businesses we crushed last year? Well, I am planning to take over some more. What do you think of this place? Think you don’t mind being the boss?” Lucianda asked carelessly.Catching up to Luci’s intention, Laura gave a small smile. “I will not want to work in this kind of place, Luci, even as a boss. But I guess we can auction it off.” Laura said.Listening to Laura’s suggestion, Luci almost laughed out loud. It seemed Laura was more wicked than she gave her credit for.‘Nice one Laura!’ Lucianda mentally applauded.‘Auction my place off? My long years of hard work?’ Visibly sweating, Collins did not need anyone to interpret their meanings, he slowly walked to the counter to get Laura a bottle of water.“What is this, Collins? Of course, I don’t want lukewarm water. Get me a chilled bottle.” Laura raised her voice
Her Husband's Rival: Lucianda's Revenge Chapter 11: Pulling strings
On the other side of town, Prince Hakeem was busy pulling strings as he sat calmly at his desk while his close hand, Sultan, stood close by, in trembling silence.He was never sure of the duty his boss would assign to him and he was damn sure he would die of ulcer one day.“What’s the latest update on the woman?” Hakeem asked his assistant without lifting his head from the documents he was reading.“Report says she is presently at the mall with that other woman, sir, and they are having a good time chopping for her new friend and her son.” The PA reported in a nervous voice.When it comes to this woman’s issue, his boss was not a calm man so Sultan is always on his toes and at alert.“Okay. Make sure the team keeps their eyes on them. I want to know every one of her moves but she must never suspect she is being trailed.” He instructed calmly, still concentrating on the papers.“Okay sir. Everything will be done neatly.” He promised.With a small nod, Hakeem casually dismissed him.Rel
Her Husband's Rival: Lucianda's Revenge Chapter 12: Meeting of souls
“So, aunt Lucianda, when am I going to meet your son, Julian?” As far as Sammie was concerned, that’s the most important thing today. Meeting the five years old boy Lucianda had told him about.“Soon, I am sure. He will be somewhere in the house and sooner than later he will find us before we find him.” Luci said with a small laugh and Sammie giggled while his mum also smiled.“I cannot wait. The world is boring without a friend.” He said this in a long suffering tone and his mum was aghast.“Sammie.” She called chidingly.“But it’s the truth, mum. You always tell me to tell the truth.” He insisted with a pointed look at his mum and she returned his look with a glare.Laughing so hard that she hurt, Lucianda bent forward to ruffle his full hair that needed a good cut.“I love your honesty, son.” Luci told him encouragingly.Turning to glance at his mum, he gave a satisfied smirk.Laura rolled her eyes. “Don’t encourage him, Luci.”“Oh please, free the innocent boy. He is of course rig
Her Husband's Rival: Lucianda's Revenge Chapter 13: The Move
Prince Hakeem is making an attempt to take over the Julian Castos’ Hotel?Her son’s heritage? The only few things he had left from his father?“No! Never! There is no way I will allow that.” Lucianda vowed aloud.When the drama of her husband’s shipping company’s takeover had been going on with Prince Hakeem, Lucianda had stayed well out of it, knowing whatever the men had together was their business and did not concern her.So she had watched calmly and indifferently as Hakeem ruthlessly and painstakingly went after her husband and his business. It’s not that she did not care or worried about being homeless, it’s just that she had watched her husband doing the same to other people.So who are they that the same couldn’t be done to them by another ruthless businessman? Lucianda was a great believer of Karma and she knew what goes around will always come around.But now? He’s trying to involve her innocent son in this stupid war and hatred of his? Never! Now when she is alive!She woul
Her Husband's Rival: Lucianda's Revenge Chapter 14: The Rejection
With his continuous silence, Lucianda felt he wanted out and she would be forced to actually make good on her threats.“I will appreciate it if you can take your leave now, since you obviously have nothing to say for yourself.” She continued in that cold tone, while praying he would say something to make her change her mind about sacking him.Seeing that the madam was angry, he turned for the door and left. Lucianda wanted to scream as she watched him leave.When he closed the library door behind him, Lucianda felt so frustrated by the turn of events, she picked the coffee cup on the table and threw it against the wall.It was when she saw the shattering mess on the floor, she realised she just destroyed another memory of Alex Castos. That was his favourite coffee mug.What a message!Just as Lucianda picked another thing to throw, in order to vent her anger, she saw the man standing by the door and she froze.Lost in her thoughts, she did not hear the door being opened.Slightly amus

Few minutes later, she was out of the door, and when she saw her personal chauffeur waiting calmly for her beside the car, she gave a brisk nod in response to his greetings.“Drive to Sixth Avenue, James. We are going to the Kindles and Lawyers complex.” After this, Lucianda put her head on the headrest and closing her eyes, she planned her moves.Thirty something minutes later, her chauffeur informed her of their arrival to the location and Luci took a deep breath before glancing at the tall building in front of them.Popular for no other reason than the fact that the best lawyers in the city could be found in the complex building, It had of course made Sixth Avenue a popular one in the city.Lucianda did not have an appointment and so she was not expected, but she was not planning to let that deter her. She only hoped the person she was coming to see would be on seat.Though she had never met Tony James, she had of course heard of the young man. A native of America, he was in his e
Her Husband's Rival: Lucianda's Revenge Chapter 16: The Surprise
When the calm looking lawyer saw Lucianda, a flash of light came into his eyes also and he blinked in surprise before the mask of professionalism came over his expression. He moved closer with a business-like smile. “Mrs Castos? I was told you would like to see me?” Even though they were all aware she practically forced her way in, none of his manners showed it.“Hello, Mr. James. How are you doing?” Moving forward, Luci stretched her right hand for an amiable handshake and then tilting her head to the side to access the man she had come to see, she gave a radiant smile that transformed the whole of her expression from Beautiful to Exceptional.Tony James was human after all? He could not take his eyes away.Even his secretary could not control the small gasp that came out of her lips. ‘Who could have believed one person would pack such a dollop of smile? And just imagine, she had not thought it necessary to bless me with it.’ Miffed, she glared at Lucianda in mild jealousness.To s

Some seconds or was it minutes later? Knowing there is no way in hell she will let him come back to the room and meet her in that position, Lucianda forced her legs to go in search of her dress. Wherever the despicable man dropped them.With trembling hands, she picked at some of her things as she walked across the room and knowing that her body is reacting to the unsatisfactory treatment it just underwent, she tried to think of something else aside the inhumane treatment she just received.Just when she thought she had succeeded after several attempts of trying to clad her body into the clothes that now seem like a burden and she could escape without ever setting her eyes on the despicable man again, he materialised almost out of nowhere and Luci was so startled, she dropped the little purse she has been gripping so tightly in her hands.Lowering his eyes slowly to look at the little thing she just dropped, his eyes seemed colder by the time he returned it to her flushed eyes.“Going
Her Husband's Rival: Lucianda's Revenge 51 Caught In A Web
Lucianda wasn’t the only one. Feeling more at peace and calmer than he had ever felt in ages, Prince Hakeem allowed himself to relax on the succulent chest of the woman that instead of abetting his appetite, had only made him hungry and thirsty for more.Luci didn’t know how long she slept but the next thing she knew was instant awakefulness when she felt an unrecognisable sensation almost at the same time she realised what was happening.There is someone in between her thighs and if she isn’t dreaming, they have their mouth on her juicy port and they’re trying to lick the living soul out of her. Even though she couldn’t credit what was happening, Luci couldn’t prevent a throaty moan from coming out of her lips as the man down below blew on her petals before going all the way in with his tongue.He rolled his tongue deep inside her and to her surprise he began to thrust in and out of her in a fucking motion that was intensely electrifying. Unable to believe she is once again receiving
Her Husband's Rival: Lucianda's Revenge 50 Violation
The man must have noticed her reaction to his violation because there was a significant pulse and then harshly muttered words that sounded like he was swearing at her or himself? Whatever it was, it definitely wasn’t enough to make him get up from what he was doing to the woman below him because after a momentary stop, he soon resumed his activity.Feeling the artful way in which he was thrusting in and out of her, Luci almost pleaded for death in that instant but to her shame, it’s as if God is dead to her plight.Knowing the woman under him doesn’t want to be where she is presently and that she is even now trying to freeze him off by disengaging her mind from what was happening, Hakeem became bitterly determined to make her a participant even as he felt some unacknowledged pain around his upper chest.He will not be labelled a rapist! Not by this woman at least.Although he had not planned to do all these when he had invited her over for dinner, he had actually thought he could give
Her Husband's Rival: Lucianda's Revenge 49 Humble The Proper Lady
With renewed strength, Prince Hakeem suckled and tongued her salacious pussycat until she was ready to cry for mercy.“Please! My knees are weak. I need to sit down.” Nothing could have stopped Luci from admitting to this truth some minutes later, not even shame or her pride. It felt as if her legs would fail her at any moment if she should try to stand because from where she was pulled against the wall, she felt totally numb at the feet yet every other part of her body was alive.She was certain the man didn’t hear her softly whispered pleads and just as she was thinking of how to reframe the words again, she felt a pull and before she knew what was happening, he was carrying her to a sofa placed at the other side of the room.From her place across his shoulder, Luci could only picture a flash of white and brown before being lowered ceremoniously on it.“Than—thank—you.” She stammered out, feeling exposed and unsure of herself now that he had granted her wish. Will he let her go now?
Her Husband's Rival: Lucianda's Revenge 48 A Plea For Mercy
Luci felt so helpless, it almost reminded her of an incident she was trying to forget.“Don’t do this. Please stop doing this. I’m sorry I provoked you.” She finally threw away every form of pride to beg shamelessly but if she had been hoping to get to the man, her words seemed to bounce off his tough hide as he went back to flicking at her vjay.“You should have thought of the repercussions before doing it. Now it’s too late.” He announced almost with a cold expression that shows he was still extremely angry at her. But could this be because of what she said or because she threw the wine on his face?“No please, I’m sorry and if you stop right now I promise I will think next time before doing anything.” By now, Luci was desperate to promise anything. She is trying everything possible to reject this embers of fire he is invoking right now but if he continues, she is scared to think of what will happen next.She had thought she could do this to also punish her late husband for his offe
Her Husband's Rival: Lucianda's Revenge 47 Lurid Feelings
After a considerable silence, she couldn’t hold it in any longer and she inhaled sharply before turning her head to the side to give him a look that borders on realization.“Is this why you called me here? To show how good you’re with words?” Luci couldn’t help asking bitterly and there was a little glint of surprise in his eyes as he gave her a searching look which she couldn’t maintain.After a considerable silence, he finally released a tired sigh!“No Luci, I didn’t invite you over to my place to have a tug of war with you. In all honesty, I actually wanted us to get to know ourselves a little better before taking things further.” He admitted with a self deprecating grimace and for a reason she couldn’t fathom, she found it to be childishly endearing.‘Endearing? Snap out of it Luci, don’t let this man pull you into his webs. The last thing one should use to describe Prince Hakeem is childishness, there is no innocent blood in his littlest veins.’ A voice whispered harshly within
Her Husband's Rival: Lucianda's Revenge Chapter 46 Power House
Passing through the spacious hall of his home to the big room at the left, he noticed that the woman already made herself at home as she sat a little too regally on one of the rich couches placed in the room.“Care for anything? A glass of water? Wine?” Now that he is having his way with things, his voice was breathily soft and the woman gave him a brief look before lowering her lashes over her eyes to schooled her expression.‘Why does it feel as if she is really in the lion’s den?’ Luci murmured to herself, resisting the urge to fan herself despite the working chillers.“No, I don’t think I care for anything.” She replies resolutely and Hakeem gives her a considering look that makes her feel uncomfortable. Just when she thought he would say something nasty, he seemed to reconsider it and a soft smile flickered across his lips.“Then shall we proceed to dinner? If I’m correct I would say we are almost fifty minutes late which I don’t think would impress my housekeeper who have gone t
Her Husband's Rival: Lucianda's Revenge Chapter 45 Unexpected Turnout
When the bell peeled impatiently for the third time, he smiled in enjoyment but there was total silence after that until he heard moving footsteps that signals what exactly?‘She is leaving? Is she crazy?’ To say he was shocked was to understate it and when he heard the certain sounds of her heels moving far away from the door, he forgot all about his revenge as he threw the door open.Seeing the shock in her eyes as she swung her gaze towards him, Hakeem could not have said who was more surprised.Him for realising that she was truly about to go back home. Or she seeing him standing by the door, illuminated by the light coming from the hall behind him.“Going somewhere are we?” His tone was very sarcastic and Luci’s face puckered in a frown.“What a bad luck you are Mr. Hakeem. I was just rejoicing with the hope that I can go back to where my heart really is, my cosy home but here you are, ruining it all. As usual.” Luci took a dig at him with a sugarcoated voice and when a wry smil
Her Husband's Rival: Lucianda's Revenge Chapter 44 The Dinner
Walking down the stairs, she noticed one of the servants doing their general evening cleaning and she quickly left a message for Laura and the boys. She had informed them earlier that she would be going out but she needed them to know they are free to make other plans without her if she isn’t back at the expected time.Taking a deep breath, she walked out just as the last trace of sun gave way to darkness and just when she wanted to growl with irritation, she noticed the silently parked car by the side and she realised that contrary to what she thought, the taxi she ordered for wasn’t late. She is the one that can be considered to be a few minutes late and from what she could see, the meter was already running.Glad that she wouldn’t be made to wait, she walked to the waiting car and seeing from his reaview mirror the expensively glamorous woman walking towards him, the driver quickly came down from the car to open the back door for her and it was only when he saw to her comfort that
