Lucas wasn't saying anything, just staring at the floor for the past 10 minutes. I was just sitting there, sipping on a glass of whisky waiting for him to stop finding the floor interesting and decide to speak.

Damien was standing to my right, staring at the person across from me who had been looking at me since we came in. I had enough, so I reached behind me and placed the gun on the table.

“Start talking.” I said, tilting my head a little towards Lucas. Lifting my head, I made eye contact with Octavious and he had this smirk on his face.

“I'm sorry, I fucked up.” Lucas said all of a sudden ,rubbing his face.

“What did you do, Lucas?” I asked, taking a huge gulp, downing the whisky.

“Igotsomeonepregnant!” Lucas yelled, speaking fast.

“What?” I asked but It looked like Leo heard what he said by the way he looked at Lucas.

“I-I-I ……. got someone…... .pre-pregnant Sophia.” Lucas said, looking up at me.

Grabbing it from the night stand I threw it across the room, shattering into pieces falling to the ground but the damn ringing didn’t stop.

Motherfucker wants to die I see. “Time to get your ass out of bed bitch, you have a busy schedule today.” Damien said, shutting off the alarm on his phone. “When don't I have a busy schedule and what the fuck are you doing here at 7 oclock in the morning?” I inquired scooting up against the bed to lay against the headboard. “Well change of plans.

    So at the moment I was on my way to the address my brother sent me this morning to help the poor young woman who got pregnant by him. Look I love Lucas but sometimes he is a pain in the ass and she’s going to be stuck with him for the rest of her life and possibly the baby is going to be like him, hopefully not. I wasn't going to let her live and struggle on her own during this pregnancy. I had enough rooms in the penthouse so I let my brother know that I wanted her to live with me. That way she was close to me and I could help with whatever she needed. And also it would be easier to keep her safe and my brother when he comes over to help her. And it isn’t easy the first trimester so I didn't want her to be on her own. I'm coming from the university and my stupid ass brother wasn’t there when I told him that he was to go no matter what even if he had a hangover. I didn't tell him to go drinking like that on a school night. So what I said last night went through one ear and straigh

We left around 6 o’clock this afternoon and have been in the air for an hour already and will be arriving in about an hour and a half maybe in Rome, since it was 7 o’clock already. Damien was sitting across from, sipping on his glass of scots on the rocks. God damn pussy, can’t drink it without ice because according to him it's too strong and the ice helps a little bit. Laying my head back , resting my eyes from all the exhaustion I felt. The past three days I’ve been busy non stop barely getting any sleep and papa nagging on my head to look after myself.

She's all I could think of, when I go to sleep, when I wake up and she's even in my goddamn dreams. She's consuming my mind without her even knowing or trying. I couldn't focus on my work because she's all I could think of. I don't know why but seeing her Saturday night in that white button down shirt , knowing it wasn't the one she left in, made me infuriated. Telling us, more to Lucas mama and Elijah that she was leaving for Russia not saying why, just saying it was something she has to take care of but nothing big that they should have to worry about her. Lucas wanted to go with her but she said something in Russian to him that made him back down , deciding he didn't want to go anymore. Seeing her with those men made me want to murder them for just being so close to her, especially the one who couldn't keep his damn eyes off her, more to say her ass. Every time she would walk

    The moment Damien and I stepped inside the mansion the atmosphere changed. The laughter died down, everyone becoming serious. All of my men bowing their heads as I walked past them, towards my office. A few quickly scuring away towards their rooms to change into their work attire before I walked past them. Getting to my office I slammed the door shut out of anger, forgetting Damien was behind me. "Damn Sophia." Damien groaned, walking in holding his nose. "There ain't blood coming out." I scoffed, pacing up and down. "God dammit Sophia, sit down you're pacing is making me dizzy." Damien groaned, sitting down on the couch in the corner of the room, laying his head back closing his eyes. Turning around I glared at him, crossing my arms. "Sorry." He said lifting his arms up in defence. Sitting down behind my desk, I opened one of the draws taking out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. Putting one between my lips, I took a long drag, puffing out the smoke. Closing my eyes I layed m
