Love Against All Odds Chapter No. 99
Third person POVThey came to the Bennett estate earlier than daylight, and the heavens were still violet and the fountain at the round drive flung silver strands of water to the cold air. Officer cars were posted at the border. A silent line of authority was created by two conspicuous SUVs and a plain sedan. On the pillars were uniformed officers in bulletproof vests, and in the background, detectives were silently going about with brisk efficiency, with clipboards and tablets in their hands.Lucas and Lillian got out of the nameless car with the arrest warrant in the jacket pocket of Lucas. A magistrate had signed the warrant in the morning on the evidence Lucas had submitted to him the previous night. The flash disc, the bank reports, the ledgers indicating embezzlement, the tape recordings, the CCTV videos, and the chain of custody forms were all submitted to the office of the district attorney. A party of inquisitors was now ready to carry out the arrest.The front door opened as
Love Against All Odds Chapter No. 98
Lucas Bennett:-I watched my wife lost in thought as she held the cup of her tea and looked at the wall in front of her. Edmond was looked after by his nanny while Lily was at school."Lost somewhere, wife?" I asked, taking a seat beside her on the barstool, and kissed her lips. "Want to share about it?""Do you believe that taking your father to prison is the punishment enough? she asked suddenly. The query was like a thrown rock in a pond. Or would it be the better to make him sign away his obscure property? Get him to give you all of it so that Liam can get nothing."I could see the logic. I could also feel the danger."I do not want his money," I said, and the words were short and sincere. "I want you. I want our kids. I would like a life that is not made of his plans. Without that, wealth is nothing, and he who believes that I should be satisfied by formerly seizing his empire in the name of vengeance, is ignorant of me."She put her cup aside and looked at me. "That is not why I
Love Against All Odds Chapter No. 97: The Evidence
Lillian Montigue:-The house was finally quiet. The penthouse was filled with the soft hum of the night and the waves of the ocean could be faintly heard in the distance. Lily was lying there in her princess bedroom, and was cuddling her little stuffed bear, and Edmond was cuddled in his crib, the up and down movement of his little chest, not so much, that it swelled my heart.Lucas and I were sitting on the couch in the living room, the low lights creating a warm atmosphere. I would have liked to remain there, in the tranquility of it, a little, but there had never been much of peace in our world. Not so there still out back, free and plotting, Liam and his parents.Lucas took a small glass of wine, which he had poured from a stronger drink on the table. He was aware that I was unable to get much, and thus, he kept the glass next to me, more or less as a comfort. His hand touched my hands as he sat down, and his eyes were determined, even in the silence of the moment.It is time, Lil
Love Against All Odds Chapter No. 96: The Parenthood
Lillian Montigue:-"Ugh! Not again." I groaned during my sleep, or not so sleep, since I just shut my eyes for a wink of sleep, when our infant son decided to wake up once again, screaming havoc. "I can't feed him anymore. I am too tired to even stand up straight.""Don't worry, babe. I have got this." Lucas stood up, pressing a brief kiss on my lips, and moved the hair strands from my face. "I will give him the bottle and put him back to sleep. In the meantime, you rest and sleep, or you will fall sick.""You're the best husband anyone can ask for, Lucas Bennett, and I am one lucky woman to be married to you." I tell him, "You have gone to work and haven't slept either, but you are willing to take care of our son so I can sleep?""Who else would I do this for then, my flower?" he asked, "If your health is better, I am better and happy, and you make me want to be a good husband as I have got one remarkable and perfect wife. Now, let me go, our son is going to wake our little sassy pri
Love Against All Odds Chapter No. 95: The Baby Delivery
Lillian Montigue:-After a few months"Lucas.....Lucas....Lucas," I tried to wake Lucas up from his sleep, which was a total struggle since he is a heavy sleeper. Once he sleeps, it's hard to wake him up, but right now it's an emergency so he needs to wake the fuck up or I am going to deliver his son on this bed since my water just broke."LUCAS!" I shouted this time as the first painful contraction hit me, making me grit my teeth and place my hand on the belly and felt pressure down there. Fuck! This is bad. I glanced up at the ceiling and asked my late twin sister."Fucking hell, Emilia! How the fuck did you deliver Lily. I feel like dying here!"Lucas jumped up in bed like a person who was slapped on the face by an ice-cold piece of water. His hair stuck out in all directions, his eyes were wild and unfocused."Wh-what? Fire? Thief? Earthquake?" he bulged, kicking wildly as his wandering eyes focused upon me holding the bed-sheet with one hand and my belly with the other."My water
Love Against All Odds Chapter no. 94: Dinner in hell
Lillian Montigue:-The deal was sealed. The investors were smiling too hard, waving their hands too smoothly, too like straining, and yet we won anyway. Lucas and I emerged out of that building as winners as we were supposed to be and I felt that burden leaving my chest. The project was won, our hard work had been successful and above all, Liam and the rest of the Bennett family would have to swallow their loss.In my honor, Lucas brought me to one of the finest, most elite restaurants in the city. Once we entered the building, the employees already knew our names, and bowed and directed us to our table of reservation. The dim light of the chandeliers reflected in the crystal glasses giving a glamorous, rich effect.We placed our order and Lucas had his hand still in mine across the table. He hung around looking at me than at the menu. You are glowing, he said, rubbing his thumb over my fingers. "And you were brilliant today. Swear, I were so pleased to see you threaten those vultures
