The latter gladly took the task and left his office.

Shortly after, he received a call from his father asking him to go to his office, which he immediately did. He enters his father’s office then asks in a curious tone, “Dad, Is there something wrong with the project?”

George shook his head then said, “It’s about the news circulating. Is it true? That you are having a baby with Malena?”

Lucian sat on the couch then said, “Yes.”

George could feel the exhaustion and sorrow in Lucian’s words, and it concerned him, “For a person who’s having a child of his own to his long-time girlfriend. You seem…” He paused then sighs. “Unhappy. Is there something wrong?”

Lucian lowered his head, “I’m not sure.” He clasped his hands the

    LUCIUS frantically calls Latton’s number, but his calls cannot connect. He wanted to speak to her yesterday, but after the meeting she left the building, and until now, she hasn’t come home yet. He thought going to the office early and waiting for her arrival would be the best choice, but it was already 9am, and she hadn't arrived. “Shit!” He yelled. “I really messed up this time.” He gulped slowly then dialed Albert’s number, which was soon answered. “Do you have any news about Latton?” Albert asked with an annoyed tone. Lucius' lips trembled instantly, and he couldn’t help but touch the back of his neck and massage it. He slowly breathed out but before he could speak. He heard Albert say,“ Latton, what are you doing here?” Lucius' eyes widened in horror and he promptly disconnected the call. He then sat on Latton’s office chair while staring at his quivering hands. Meanwhile, Latton entered her father’s office, her face conveying dismay and rage. “Tell me something I don’t know, Da

    LUCIAN wants to unwind and get his mind off things. He decided to utilize his days with Latton. He texted her but she did not respond. He was about to go to the 15th floor to see her when he saw a glimpse of her in one of the conference rooms. When everyone got out of the room, he was about to enter, but suddenly he heard Latton talking to someone on her phone. He missed getting a hold of the conversation, but he heard a deep male voice, and it was not a familiar one. Instead of talking to her, he secretly followed her to a restaurant where she met with a man with dark brown hair, wearing frameless eyeglasses that emphasized his deep blue eyes like art inside a canvas. His white buttoned up shirt and black pants, simple, youthful, casual, yet classy. He discreetly stole glances at them from his table that was concealed by the building pillar. He clenched his fist while staring at the two. He texted her. He saw how she stared at her phone but ignored him. He then called her, but she k

Her mouth is dry, and she can feel stinging pain in her cheeks. She searches for Lucian, and he's not beside her. Shortly, she hears the bathroom door open. She could smell the alluring scent of sandalwood in the air. Soon her eyes caught a glimpse of him, fresh out of the shower with only a towel around his waist, the water on his hair dripping on his chiseled abdomen. Her mouth slightly ajar, she swallowed the spit that piled up in her mouth and she almost choked as it also hurt. Using all her strength while fighting the urge to jump at the stunning man in front of her, she asks him in a raspy voice, "What happened? Why does everything hurt?" He grins eerily then moves towards her. "That's your punishment for ignorin

She fights back, "Lucian! Let me go," she said as she tried to escape from his grasp, when suddenly, he let go of her hands and held her by the shoulder and shook her. "No, don't you ever say that." He roared in anger, his voice deep and dangerous. He saw the fright in her eyes, and he heaves deeply, calms himself, then says in a deep husky voice, “Stop resisting. You know you can’t overpower me, you're just hurting yourself.” She nods, lowers her head and accepts her fate. He hugged her, nuzzled her neck, then carried her on his shoulder back to the room where he lay her on the carpeted floor, "Give
