Into the nights Chapter 29
Three years later Lucy The sound of my alarm woke me up from sleep, lazily stretching my hand; I hurled it across the room, letting it smash loudly. Draping my hand over my eyes, I groaned loudly feeling upset over the fact that it is morning already. Sitting up, I stared at the pitiable pieces of the alarm clock on the floor. I guess I'll be purchasing the tenth alarm clock this month. Pulling the duvet away from my body, I got up to prepare for today's business. An hour and thirty minutes later, I stood inside my liquor shop, singing along with Celine Don's music playing in the background as I stocked the new liquor. Thinking back to how I started this shop. Three years ago, I woke up in Los Angeles, not remembering who I am or where I come from. I found out that my name is Lucy through my passport and other documents that I found on the table inside the strange house that I woke up in. I also found out that the house is mine through the house document which I also found with my

Baron I watched her look out through her window into the dark nights, looking for the unknown which is me. Call me creepy or anything you'll like to call me, but after what happened to Cardin, I've been left with the responsibility of taking care of her, to make sure that she is really okay and to make sure that her past is yet to catch up with her. After we lost most of our men in the hands of Emily, Cardin's dead but alive sister. Emily used to be my favorite as a little girl but right now as an adult, she's my worst enemy. Growing up, I've always been taught that my main purpose in life is to keep the Cardin alive as his beta. But right now, I've added hunting down Emily to the list. Watching the lonely and confused woman walk out of sight, I wished that things didn't turn out the way it did. I have always hoped that things will work out between them because I could practically feel the chemistry flowing through them but Emily had to booze in and spoil everything, pushing Cardin'

Lucy Pouring coffee into my cup, I heard someone curse from the hallway. Smiling to myself, I shook myself at my secretary's inability to hold alcohol despite the fact that she works in a liquor store. Her loud footsteps sounded just above me and I waited her arrival, keeping my ears open for more curses. "Fuck! Lucy... How the fuck do you look okay after that drink last night? I feel like someone hit my head on the dash board" Walking straight to the coffee machine, she poured some coffee for herself. Dropping my cup on the table, I didn't bother correcting her that she was the one who did all the drinking. She kept stealing my drink until I got tired and refused to order another one. "How are you feeling Jane?" I asked, knowing very well that she feels like shit, judging from the nest on her head, plus her puffy and red eyes. Raising her brows, she peered at me from the rim of her cup "I just told you how I'm feeling, why are you asking me again? Or are you just mocking me?" Sha

Cardin Even with the sun rising, all I see is darkness, despite the two persons who assumes I'm pardonable towards their short coming, but little do they know, that I let them go only because they know how to humble themselves and ask for mercy. I derive joy when people fall at my feet to ask for mercy, I feed off their fear, I feed off their willingness to live but recently, I am not satisfied with the people who know me. I do not want people only in the confinement of my building to fear me, I want the whole of New York to fear me, I want them to tremble at the mention of my name, I want them to fall at my feet and beg for mercy any time I walk pass them. I want the whole world to fall to their faces at the mention of my name. I want to ignite fear in the life of all and for that to happen, I'll have to leave the confinement of this room. My name alone will bring that flimsy creature out of her hiding place. The approaching footstep snapped my attention to the door; I stood still,

Lucy I've been standing on my two feet with nine inches heels all day, thanks to Jane. I regret ever asking her to make a wish for her birthday. We've been shopping since eight o'clock in the morning and this is already twelve noon. "What are we really looking for Jane" I whined for the twentieth times today. Looking around the mall, I tried to figure out where to get flats before I actually suffer from blisters. "Hush!" She chastised "quit complaining, we are looking for that perfect cloth, and once we find it, we are leaving this place" "What other perfect clothing? We have enough clothes here to serve for clubbing tonight, what I can't comprehend is why we are going round in circles, looking for a non-existent cloth!" Balancing the bags very well, I complained the more "I just want to go home, soak myself in a bath with a bottle of wine. Is that too much to ask?" She stopped walking precipitously and I almost ran into her. "Today is my birthday, and you promised to do anything

LucyA small nudge from Lucas brought me back from my paralyzed state. I blinked rapidly but still kept my eyes on the golden eye man whose eyes were still locked on mine."Are you okay? I know the press can be exhausting most times. Just make it past the entrance door; I'll have the waitress get you something to calm your nerves."Taking my eyes away from the somewhat familiar man, I smiled politely at Lucas "I'm fine; it's nothing a glass of champagne can't handle"Giving the camera another warm smile, he placed his hand on waist and together we walked into the grand hall. I spared the golden eyed man another glance and I saw him glaring at Lucas's hand that is firmly on my waist.The evening went on well; Lucas met new clients while I got new business proposals which I promised to consider. I slowly got tired of the constant smiling and business proposals as well as sexual hints from the old men. I walked to the open bar and requested for a drink.Carefully nursing my champagne, I n

Cardin I hate it when people disrespect me or when things doesn't go as planned but funny enough, I don't find this woman who just walked away from me annoying, rather I find her intriguing. Keeping my eyes on her, I saw her walk towards the back entrance of the hall. I tried to stop her; doesn't she know how lonely it will be back there? The dangers of finding a woman alone in the dark? I only took a step towards her before Baron stopped me. "It's time for your speech sir" he said, looking all uptight in his suit.Taking a quick glance to the door, I noticed that Lucy isn't standing there again and the swinging door proves that she just walked through it. Turning my gaze to Baron, annoyance crossed my face "what speech are you talking about?"Adjusting his suit, he pointed towards the podium "when you accepted that invitation, you should have known that you will be expected to give a speech as one of event supporter"I frowned "you supported this_" I waved my hand around "this event

BaronTwirling the content of what is being held in the glass which is firmly in my hand; my mind went back to the event of this night. When I saw those two lying lifeless on the floor, I was actually happy because it proved that even in a feral state he protected Lucy. Seeing her on his arm is one of the best sights I've seen for the past three years. If he isn't a form of threat to her, that means she is my only hope in getting Cardin back. Cardin's Derka also feels the connection between them and I know that once he doesn't feel threatened, he will let Cardin come back and this might take decades or centuries, that I do not have patience for which is why I need Lucy. Just few hours with her, I caught a glimpse of the real Cardin. I can swear I saw his eyes go back to the lovely shade of brown. It seems Cardin is finally fighting his Derka for dominance upon feeling Lucy's presence. Even Cardin's Derka was also surprised that Cardin is finally fighting back.That lady lying in his r
