Lucille glanced at him up and down with scrutiny. He was still putting on the same clothes he was wearing the previous day so it meant he hadn't gone home. He must be foolish to come straight here without asking for his father's help. She sneered inwardly. "Hello, ex-boyfriend. How may I help you?" She wore the prettiest smile ever, eyeing him seductively. These actions of hers only infuriated Noah more. With a pointed finger and a loud voice, he accused, "You're a motherfucking sly, Lucille. How can you betray me? Do you want to ruin me?" His legs were shaking because of the uncontrollable fury burning in his belly. Lucille squinted her face and acted puzzled, " A sly? A betrayal? How? Did something happen?" Ramsey already left his seat when he saw it was Noah. He had warned the Newtons severally not to step a foot into his house but Noah was doing otherwise. Lucille's pretense was puking Noah. "Stop your pretense, bitch. I know you are the one behind this!" He asserted,
RAMSEY I have been fighting with myself internally to overcome whatever I was feeling for Lucille but it was futile. It seemed like the sensation grew stronger the more I tried to evacuate it. I didn't know how it happened. I don't know what it was and I don't know how to overcome it but one thing was certain. I didn't want to lose her no matter what. Hearing her affirm that she wasn't in a serious situation with me hurt me and I couldn't stop myself from asking her to get into a real marriage with me. "I love you, Lucille!" And that was it. The indescribable feelings that had been disturbing me mentally all these days. It was love. Strangely, my tense body calmed down as soon as those 4 words left my mouth. It was really hard battling with my own feelings. Her body stiffened at my statement and she stood that way for a minute without changing positions. "Lucille... I...," Before I could utter another statement, she ran off into her room. Just when I was about to run af
Noah paced around his room, disturbed and breathing heavily. His swollen face had subsided, leaving just a few faint red marks that would fade slowly.It'd been a week since his issue of scandal and it seemed it kept getting worse as each day passed. Not only had he been given a dirty nickname by the citizens, but he had also lost some of the companies he was influencing.Peter did all he could to block every corner the news was coming out from but it was futile. In fact, the more they tried to, the more different news kept spreading about his son. He didn't need to be told before knowing Ramsey was the one behind it. Obviously, he had no power to challenge his brother. They just need to do something about it because it was already affecting his company too. "Ah! Fuck!" Noah shouted, tossing everything he saw against the wall. He was enraged. "It is all because of you, Lucille!" He screamed, heaving.Lily heard the noise and stormed into the room. She widened her eyes in shock wh
Seeing the way she was nervous, Rosemary burst out into a peal of demonic laughter. "Fool!" She commented, clapping her hands as she stopped laughing abruptly. Slowly, Lucille turned back at her. She bit her lower lip angrily and her eyes laced with water. "How dare you, Rose!" She yelled. "Shut up, Lucille! It's not my fault you are a nitwit. How could you trust me again after everything I had done to you?" Lucille was mum. Indeed, she was a blockhead for trusting a snake-like Rosemary after everything she had done to her. When was she going to realize and accept that people like Rosemary are not entitled to a second chance? "What have I done to you, Rose? What do you want from me?" Lucille shouted. Waves of wrath shrouded her body. She was mad at herself. She was stupid to come to a place like this with Rosemary. Rosemary leaned her head closer to Lucille and mumbled, "I want every good thing you have, Lucille. They are not for you. You do not deserve them. They
Since Lucille wasn't expecting the action, she misplaced her balance and almost slipped but thankfully, she quickly regained her posture. "Ah!" She jerked the strange woman's hands away and turned to her. "Who are you? How can you just grab my hair the way you did?" She shouted with exasperation and frustration. Her initial pain hadn't subsided and a strange-looking outsider clasped her hair again. "You are a wicked woman!" The woman accused, pointing her finger at her angrily. Lucille was shocked and chuckled in disbelief. "What! Do you know me from somewhere? How can you just accuse me wrongly?" Scrutinizing her outward look from her head to her toes, Lucille presumed she wasn't mentally stable and decided to ignore her. She just wanted to go home, have a cold bath and sleep. "You don't need to apologize to me, ma'am. I am sure you have the wrong person," Saying this, she turned to leave but the woman didn't let her. "I am still talking to you, shameless woman. How
LUCILLE I sprinted without looking back in a dark and serene street. I was terrified and my inner bones gradually weakened. I didn't know where I was going. The only thing on my mind was how to escape from the mob chasing me in the dark for a sin I never committed. Slowly, my pace reduced and my eyes got dizzy but I kept running. Just when I was about to get out of the street, I fell to the floor and blackened out. "Lucille! Please wake up. You can't do this to me, Lucille!" I could hear the voice from afar. I tried to move my body but it was numb. At the second trial, I was able to hijack myself from whatever was holding me down and my eyes widened at once. It was all a dream. Looking around me, I realized it was a different room. When I lowered my gaze, I saw Ramsey holding my arms with his head resting on it. I didn't know if he was crying or praying. The sores and bruises on my body stung me as I tried to sit up and a little moan escaped from my mouth.The sounds made Ram
"You are a fool! I told you not to try anything stupid but you did," Peter fired, pointing his finger at her. He moved closer to her and raised his hand to slap her again but Noah rushed over and stopped him, holding his hands. "No, Dad. You are hurting Mum," Noah muttered, shaking his head in disapproval. Looking at the tears on his mother's face made him emotional. He pursed his lips, fighting his tears back. Peter, who was blinded by the fury he was bringing from work, finally realized that Noah was also there. He shoved him aside and smacked him in the face too. _"You... You are a bastard. Can you see the idiot you trained?" He was frustrated and provoked. His veins bulge in his skin. Noah couldn't dare peek at his bloodshot eyes. He lowered his head, mute. Lily couldn't watch his husband discipline her son, so she precipitously held his hands, standing in front of him to protect Noah. "Do you realize you are hurting our son? Your only son, Peter...,"It was as if Pe
"I think I forgot to tell you guys that you are not welcome here anymore," Ramsey informed them, sending chills down their spines with his terrifying voice.He helped Lucille, whose ears had turned red.He made her sit on the couch and then walked toward the mother and son, wiping imaginary dust from his hands.Noah and Lily gulped hard as his steps got closer to them. It would be an understatement to say they were afraid of Ramsey now. "Use the door if you aren't going to say why you've both come here," He reminded them, glancing at them blankly with indifferent eyes. There was no trace of sentiments in them. "I.. un... " Noah stuttered, shivering internally. A bead of fine sweat engulfed his whole body. Ramsey sneered mockingly and adjusted the gaze on Lily. If the son's tongue cannot form the simplest word, then the mother should be able to help him.He folded his arms and watched them shiver in fear. That was his joy, watching them behave like his prey. "We came to apol
