Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 48 - They meet again
ALTHOUGH Lucian swore to reinvent himself and stop his series of one-night stands, he still goes out for a drink sometimes with John and Vivian. However, tonight he was alone in the Boost Club. He sat in the bar front staring at the football game that was being televised. All his concentration was on the game, and he did not notice when a woman sat beside him. Seeing that he was preoccupied, the woman then said in a low, alluring soft voice, "It’s been a while. How are you?" Her familiar voice caught his attention and he immediately glanced at the person beside him. "Malena?" He says with coldness in his tone and gaze. "You’re looking at me as if I’m a stranger." She says while staring down and feeling aggrieved. "What are you doing here?" He asks. She slowly moves her hand to him, then says, "I want to talk to you." He heaves deeply then closes his eyes, "Now is not the time, I want to be alone with my thoughts." He says with exhaustion in every word. "But..." Her voice was weak
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 49 - Siblings
DEREK and Latton sat in the bar acting as if nothing had happened. Both of them are drinking whiskey on the rocks. The ambiance is silent and awkward, but Derek mustered the courage to speak first. "In my defense, you look different. You have loss a lot of weight and you loo...k.." He cleared his throat, then glanced away from her and let his words linger without continuation. Latton glanced at him clearly waiting for him to finish speaking, then sighed when she had noticed he had no plan to finish his sentence. "That’s not an excuse for being a perverted jerk," she explains while staring at her glass. "Point taken." He responded while swirling his whiskey. She lowered her head then asks, "Are you happy?" He was startled by her question and did not answer. "Are you happy seeing me like this? A failure and a fucking alcoholic." She added as she lifted her glass and gulped the liquor in one go. “I should be, but come to think of it…” He coughs then continues speaking. “We are you
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 50 - Conservatorship
ALBERT is happy to know that Latton was back at the Manor. He stopped eating and let go of the cutlery he was holding and dashed to Derek’s room. Derek and Catherine were dumbfounded at how Albert acted, but they just let him do as he pleased and they continued eating. He stood in front of the bed staring at his daughter, whom he hadn't seen for almost 5 months. He admired how calm and peaceful she looked, totally different from the last time he saw her in Turkey. He remembers the day Latton walked out the door to travel to Turkey for her prenup photoshoot with Thomas. The sky was dark, and it was about to rain. She looks at her father with disappointment on her face. Unyielding, he stared at her sneering like a tyrant sending out his daughter to her death. That day he also traveled to Turkey on a different flight. When he arrived in the country, he secretly followed Latton and Thomas and watched how his plan took its course. At first, he followed them in a restaurant where they wer
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 51 - The Plan
AFTER the incident in the bar where Malena kept on following Lucian, she became bolder in stalking him. A few weeks after the bar incident, she showed up to his apartment unannounced and enters his home and began to strip in front of him, coaxing him to have sex with her, which he should be happy since it had been 6 months since his last sexual encounter, but at that time he had rather bang some random girl in the bar than to be with her. He felt that he never knew who she was. She deprives him of intimacy for 5 years, then all of a sudden she’s throwing herself at him. He almost gave in, when he saw her naked smooth skin, long white porcelain legs, her hourglass figure and her tantalizing green eyes. Sending him a message of vulnerability and submission. He just needed to walk towards her and claim her. Something that he had been hoping to happen for the past few years. To her dismay, he left his own apartment and went home to his parents. Soon, he hires people to gather all his belo
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 52 - Failed Execution
MONTH OF February and the office is filled with heart-shaped paper cut-outs in celebration of the upcoming Valentine's Day. Though the decoration shows a joyous vibe, the ambiance in the office is far from jovial. The C. I office personnel have been busy working their asses off lately, since the Hamilton Contract is expiring in 4 months and Mr. Kent hasn't agreed to meet up for a negotiation. Lucian could feel his father's stress when Victor York started lurking around the office and attending every meeting possible. Victor, in his 40s, is the eldest and the only heir of the York family. Despite his age, he remains a bachelor. As he can't find a suited lady for the title of Mrs. York. For him, no family is worthy of being part of the York's. He is one of the major investors in the company, and normally he doesn’t go to the office unless there’s an investors meeting, but since the Hamilton issue started he has become active. Slowly he began to show the reason why. He was offering the
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 53 - It’s pronounced LATT-ON
MALENA initially plans to guilt-trip him by saying they slept together, and it’s her first time, then eventually hints that they should get married because her parents will disown her. But seeing that Lucian is not falling for her scheme and immediately uncovers her lies, she could only lower her head and hide under the covers. Soon she heard the door open and shut. The embarrassment engulfed her, she started crying and clenching her fist, blaming herself for being shortsighted. * * Latton and Albert agreed to meet for lunch in the Imperial Plaza. Though they are trying to mend their relationship as father and daughter, Latton does not move back to the manor and instead stays with Lucius. When she arrived, she saw that her father had already ordered and the food was being served and arranged as she walked towards the table. When he saw her, he immediately lit up and waved at her. Both seated facing each other, Albert started to put food on his daughter's plate. "You should eat mor
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 54 - A Sight of HER
VIVIAN was so elated that she walked with a smile from ear to ear. She’s holding the rarest bag she ever saw. For some people she might look crazy, but for the type of business she has, her reaction is normal. Soon she arrived at the restaurant where John was waiting for her. He immediately noticed her beautiful smile. "To whom do I owe the pleasure of seeing you smile like that?" He says flirtatiously while helping her to sit. "Oh! Stopped it John. You’re making me blush." After she sat, they ordered and continued with their normal Saturday night date. Though they have been together for six years now and slept with each other numerous times, they still act as if it’s their first date. For John, the moment he saw Vivian, in that crowded train station on that one summer day, he knew she was the one for him and after six years that impression never changed. As for Viv, she was a busy working student at that time, and she never prioritized meeting men or talking to them as she set her
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 55 - She’s at C.I
LUCIAN entered the office building with dark circles in his eyes. He has sleepless nights after seeing Sieve with Lucius last Saturday; he can't stop thinking about her, imagining she’s sleeping with Lucius doing things that she used to do to him. His face frowns, like there's a sour taste in his mouth. When he entered the elevator, as if the universe was against him, he saw Lucius inside. The latter then greeted him with a smile on his face, "Good morning, Mr. Caldwell." Lucian nods and gives a quick glance. He can sense that Lucius is a bit more gleeful today, then a scene flashes in his mind — a scene where Sieve and Lucius spent a steamy night together. "That’s why he seems happier than usual." He says to himself then glanced at Lucius again and saw red marks on his neck. His eye twitches upon seeing it. On the other hand, Lucius is oblivious to all of this, since Sieve is his cousin Latton. The red mark on his neck is not a hickey, it's a mosquito bite because he opened his room
