“What?” she demanded when she couldn’t bear it anymore.“Nothing,” Lucas responded and it almost sounded like a whisper.“I don’t like the way you are star...”“He wants your body,” Lucas said before she could complete what she was saying.“Huh?” Josephine raised a brow.“It’s obvious he doesn’t want you but your body. That explains why he was having sex with your best friend because she gave it to him willingly,” Lucas said and sat up. “Tell me, when was the last time he tried to make advance at you?”“Three months ago.”“What happened?” he asked.Josephine looked at Lucas and thought back on the time when Brian had tried to have sex with her even after she had made it clear to him that she doesn’t want it not until their wedding night.“It wasRelated chapters

Josephine stared at Lucas who was waiting for her to catch up with him. After they had left the restaurant, he had brought her to a penthouse apartment, where he lives, and now, they were about to go inside his apartment.“This is a bad idea,” Josephine muttered to herself and moved her feet towards him so as not to keep him waiting.When she caught up with him, she stared up at him and said, “Hey, I know you are trying to help me but I really don’t need it. I am fine on my own and I have a place to stay if you will just let me go. How can I be living with you in your apartment?” she questioned him but it seems like Lucas was not listening to her.Lucas swiped his access card and the elevator opened up to a huge apartment. Josephine was left in awe as she moved her eyes around, taking all the view in and her mouth hung open at the beauty and how neat the apartment was.Is he a ghost or something? Thought Josephine as she slide her fingers across the furniture and when she looked at he

Josephine sat up immediately and she saw Lucas move to the side. She moved her eyes up a bit to see his wet hair which he didn’t bother to dry or he did it on purpose because to Josephine, he looked attractive.“I said to make yourself comfortable but you are still sitting there,” Lucas said, raising a brow at her.“I am comfortable,” Josephine responded but deep down, she was not.Lucas nodded and went to take a seat. “There are rooms available. Pick anyone of your choice. There’s food, fruits, drinks and all. If there is anything you need that is not available, tell Elena to get it for you.Josephine nodded at his words and Lucas narrowed his eyes.“Tell me what is on your mind,” he said and Josephine raised her brows a bit. “If you have something to tell me, then say it straight away and stop deciding,” he said, his eyes fixed on hers.“I am not deciding anything. There is nothing I want to say to you,” Josephine said and look

Josephine woke up to the bright rays of light that entered the room and she groaned before sitting up on the bed. She stayed like that for seconds before remembering that Lucas mentioned that they would be going to buy some clothes for her and her mood turned sour immediately. She stretched her hand to the side and took her phone from the table that was beside the bed. She checked her notifications, hoping that she would have some messages but she saw nothing and her heart sunk.“I am so miserable,” she muttered to herself and got down from the bed, making her way to the bathroom.When Josephine was done bathing and putting her clothes on, she walked out of the room and headed for the living room. She climbed down the stairs and when she got to the living room, she met Lucas there already dressed and probably waiting for her.When Lucas noticed her presence, he smiled at her and greeted, “Morning Josephine.”But Josephine was in no mood and she fe

After Josephine walked out of the section with Michael who helped her with the bags, she turned to him and asked, “Is it really okay for you to be here? I mean, shouldn’t you be in the office?”“Ah that...” Michael trailed off. “Mr. Gray sends me official and non-official errands. It doesn’t really matter if I am his assistant or not. But,” Michael said and Josephine waited for him to complete his statement.“But what?” Josephine asked when he didn’t talk further.Michael made an expression like he was confused about something and he finally said, “Don’t worry. It’s just like I am an errand person to Mr. Gray.”Josephine nodded and asked, “If I may ask, how old are you, Michael?”“Twenty three,” Michael responded and Josephine’s brows rose a bit. “I know you think I am quite young and not fit enough to be Mr. Gray’s assistant.”“No!” Josephine said immediately. “Uh, it’s just that, your face looks too innocent and childish when I

Lucas was pissed. He had seen the faint reddish mark on her neck when he was about to get the door for her and he didn’t question her on it because she also didn’t talk about it. But while listening to her heartbeat while in the car, he could tell just what it meant. “Who touched you?” he asked again, his eyes brooding down at her and just by the way he spoke, Josephine could tell he was angry, but why?Josephine didn’t know if she should tell Lucas about what happened or not because she was also trying to protect Michael. She parted her lips to speak but she quickly closed it and she bit the inside of her cheeks.Lucas moved closer to Josephine and she gulped, feeling nervous as she has not seen this side of him before. He looked down at her, where Josephine had to crane her head up a little in order to look at him in the eye.Josephine couldn’t find the right words to say. It was as if her tongue was tied as it would not utter any words. Everyt

By the time Josephine woke up, it was already evening. She stretched her body and let out a groan before getting up from the bed. When her feet touched the ground, it went to hit something and she looked down to see what it was. Her eyes fell on the pizza carton she had devoured in the afternoon after she had sneaked out of her room to get it while Lucas was in his room. A small smile came to play on her lips when she remembered what had happened earlier but the smile soon faded.Josephine walked over to the window side and looked out of it to see how beautifully lit the outside world was. A satisfying smile appeared on her lips and she stepped away from the window before making her way towards the door. She opened it slowly and stuck her head out, looking from left to right to make sure Lucas was nowhere in sight.“All clear,” she said in a hushed voiced and brought one foot out before bringing the other and she tiptoed through the corridor. When she got

Josephine fumed and clenched her fist together, glaring at Lucas who seems to be enjoying every moment of irking her. When he had said he was sorry, Josephine had thought he was apologizing for what he did earlier, not knowing he had another thing up his sleeve and it made her want to go mad for falling for his trick twice.“Do you like the feeling now? I thought you might want to use the pool, so...” he had a smirk on and Josephine couldn’t contain her anger anymore so she burst out.“Do you think this is funny? Do you even care if I catch a cold and fall sick? Is this what I get for accepting to live with you or are you just torturing me the way you wa—”“Cool off Josephine,” Lucas said in a compelling tone and Josephine found herself staring into his eyes which already turned red. Lucas eyes changed back to its original color and he said to her, “You have been avoiding me after what happened earlier. Not that I mind it, but this was the only way to get your attention back. You can’

Josephine got dressed and headed for Matilda’s place. Matilda had called her in the morning to ask if she would still be coming. Before she left the apartment, she looked around to see if Lucas was still at home but when she did not see him, she guessed that he must have left early. She walked out of the apartment and used the elevator and it was only when she got downstairs did she realize that she had no cash on her.Josephine let out a sigh and brought out her phone to ask Matilda for help but before she could call, she heard someone speak;“Good morning Miss Josephine.”Josephine raised her head up to meet Sullivan’s eyes and she was surprised to see him there.“Morning,” she greeted back and had a questionable look on her face.“Mr. Gray ordered me to drive you to your destination and back home safely,” Sullivan said.Josephine brows rose and she asked, “Oh, he did?” and a smile appeared on her lips. So sweet, she said in he

Josephine_So much has happened in a year when I met Lucas and so much has changed after a year he left. I still remember that night, losing the grasp of his hand and watching him die right in front of my eyes. That memory still haunts me. I keep telling myself he should not have been the one to die, but, I can never change what fate has in store for us. If I could, then I would have wished we never met. It is sad, but maybe it would have hurt less. Maybe we wouldn’t have gone through a pain like this. Maybe our lives would have been better. Maybe no one would have had to die.Matilda just got married to her long boyfriend, Gabriel, and nothing can describe the happiness I have for the both of them. It was a double celebration because she is expecting, very soon. But one would think I have no happiness at all. It was the kind where i was rejoicing inside me but my face holds no emotions at all. I guess I already turned cold myself. Even my smile does not believe I am happy when I indee

"It's my fault," Josephine kept repeating in her mind as Sullivan drove. She blames herself for everything. If only she had listened to him. If only he never ate that food, all these wouldn't have happened to him. And it was her fault. She did that to him, and now, she is not so sure anymore. The evening is already setting in and Sullivan drove into a narrow way which had trees surrounding every path. The ride was rough but no one cares as they just have to keep going. At a point, they got lost, not knowing the right path, but Sullivan was able to get back on track but it’s just that, they were a little too late.The evening before, when Sullivan saw the necklace Josephine held, he suddenly had a memory recollection. He has seen it somewhere before, just exactly the way it is. It was part of Mathian Gray’s collection back when he was still alive. When young Sullivan had questioned him on why he kept those things and pointed to that particular necklace, Mathian had said that he wants

If life were predictable then it would cease to be life and be without flavor. That was a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt, Josephine thought as she lay in bed without clothes, under the sheets. It has been a while she has woken up after the long night she had with Lucas, yet, she has not moved or turned her body. It was because she knows that if she does, she won’t see him there and so, she has decided to remain in that position and reflect on her life.It has been a few years now since she made up her mind not to have sex before marriage and at first, she thought it was the reason Brian cheated on her, but no, Brian was never worthy of it in the first place. He never deserved her and that was it. But Lucas was different. What they did was not out of love, but something deeper than that. It was something that cannot be explained no matter how hard she tries to place it. And she did not regret it, nor did she feel like she was becoming like Maya. It was two different things. Maya only did i

Josephine stood there speechless and she stared at him. Of course there were lots of things she wanted to ask him about her mother. Why did he have to hide such a thing from her? Was he scared about what might happen if she finds out? Those were the questions she kept asking herself but for some reason, she did not know why she took pity on him. “Josephine,” he called and said, “I asked why you are not asking me about your mother. Nicholas told me about everything. I kept it from you and you finally found out, but why are you not asking me about it? Why are you not getting angry?” he grabbed her hand as he asked. “You should already know that your mother died because of me so say something and stop looking at me with those innocent eyes,” he yelled. Josephine had to close her eyes to prevent herself from flinching. She has never seen him so angry or speak in such manner. When he released his grip from her hand, she opened her eyes to stare into his eyes which already turned dark and

Josephine stared at the old picture in her hand and trailed her fingers on it. So the boy her mother mentioned about was actually Lucas. Was he the reason she never came back the day she was supposed to? Was that the reason he helped her and took her to his apartment? Did he know all along that she was the daughter? Then, was her mother the person before her?Those were the thought that came to her and she could not help but think about each one of them. She brought out the necklace and the letters that hung on it oscillated in the air.Sullivan saw the reflection of the silver necklace through the front mirror and as it dangled, he suddenly had a memory flash and he gasped almost immediately while stopping the car abruptly.Josephine almost hit her head on the front seat at the sudden halt and she moved her head to the side to check on Sullivan. “Are you alright?” she asked with worry on her face. “I am sorry, I should not have let you drive me back. You must have been tired.”“No, i

Mrs. Lewis stared at Josephine as they stood face to face with each other in the living room. Ever since she held that gathering, she has not seen nor spoken to her and it bothers her a lot. She did not mean to hurt her with the revelation, or maybe she should have told her first than reveal it while everyone was present.“I came to ask you something, mother,” Josephine blinked as she said it.Mrs. Lewis did not know what it was she wanted to ask, but she knows that something must have happened for her to come to her and want to ask about it. “And what is that?” she asked.“Before my mother died,” she said and could feel her eyes burning, “did she mention about a boy to you?” she asked. “She was going to bring him to me.”“No, she did not,” Mrs. Lewis answered honestly and concern etched on her face. “Did something happen?” she asked feeling unsure.A soft sigh escaped her lips and she took in a deep breath. “I got your package on my birthday,” she said and brought out the necklace fr

Michael met Sullivan on his way to start heading back to work and he stopped to greet him with a smile.“Good morning Mr. Sullivan.”“Yes, Michael,” Sullivan responded casually and asked, “Why are you here instead of being at work?”“That...” he trailed off and continued, “I have not seen Boss for some days now so I came to check up on him. I guess you must know where he is.”“Just get back to work already. The Boss does not like it when you laze around.”“Come on, I have been working my ass off ever since I started working for Boss but tell me, who is lazing around now?” he asked with a smirk.“The Boss has something important he is dealing with at the moment so it will take some time for him to return,” that is if he will. Sullivan said the last words in his mind.“I see,” Michael raised his brows. “Miss Josephine said the same thing.”“Quit talking and get going already,” Sullivan dismissed him.“How about you give me a lift?” Michael suggested with his usual smile.Sullivan scoffe

“Michael?” she called his name in surprise as she has not seen him for a while now.Michael smiled on seeing her and he pushed his glasses up while holding on to the arm of his backpack with his other hand.“Hello, Miss Josephine,” he greeted. “It is good to see you again.”“You too,” Josephine said with a smile and quickly moved to the side. “Please come inside.”Michael walked inside the apartment and Josephine shut the door before leading him towards the chair to sit.“Actually, I came to see the Boss,” Michael said and Josephine turned to face him. “He has been absent from work for the past few days now and I have not been able to reach him.”Josephine just came to realize that no one really knows what happened to Lucas except her, his friends and the other people present that day. “Uhm...he is not around at the moment. There is something he needs to take care of and I am not sure of when he will be back, but I don’t think it is anytime soon,” she said to him.“That is strange,” M

“You two are completely wasted,” Matilda said and took a sip from her drink. Josephine had brought them to a bar and had instructed the bartender to serve her only fruit juice while they had wine.“You should be happy that we are drinking on your behalf,” Josephine said to her and a wide smile form on her lips.“That is not what I am talking about,” Matilda said with a frown. “How can I send you both home in this state and I cannot leave you here either.”“Why are you in a hurry? I thought we were celebrating,” Candice said and gulped down the remaining content from her glass. “And by the way, I am not drunk, Josephine is.”“Who said I am drunk?” Josephine hit her palm on the table, drawing attention and Candice had to hold her hand down. “This is not my first time drinking.”“But you hate alcohol,” Matilda said. “I am even surprised that you decided to drink tonight. I feel guilty.”Josephine shook her head and said, “I was here the day Brian cheated on me. That was the first time I
