CHAPTER FOUR | MINE!
LUCAS KNIGHT“Why the hell are you winking at my man?" Vivian growls.What the fuck!“What the hell do you think you're doing Vivian? She wasn't even looking this way." I deadpan.“Oh babe, you don't have to be humble. We both know that she was staring at you. She is obviously in love with you."I mentally facepalm. Luckily for me, the place we are in isn't crowded. If not, she would have been drawing a lot of attention to me...us.Taking my hands, Vivian drags me to the lady and her lover. She stops right in front of her and places her hands on her hips.“What do you think you are doing?" She demands.“Ummmm, what are...what do you mean?" The lady asks, looking genuinely lost.“Oh, so that is how it is going to be right?" She says, scoffing in disbelief and switching from her left foot to her right foot.“I don't know what you are talking about." The lady replies sincerely.“Why the hell were you ogling me man."“Who? Me?" The lady asks, turning her back to see if she is truly talking to her.“Stop playing dumb you stupid bitch. You were clearly staring at my husband." Vivian growls.Oh my goodness! She just called me her fucking husband.“Hold on, I am not her husband. I am not even her boyfriend or fiance. She is just an escort." I try to explain to the lady and her lover.They both ignore me, not believing what I said. “She was not looking at your man, she was too busy shoving her tongue down my throat." The guy says while smirking.The lady smacks him on the side of his head, her face turning beetroot. “Why would you say that." She exclaims.“You know it is true." He says smirking.“Hello, don't fucking ignore me," Vivian screams throwing her hands up in annoyance.“What do you want." The lady sighs.“I want to know why you are not satisfied with your man that you are trying to snatch mine away from me." She hisses.“I am not interested in your man girl, my fiance is enough for me. And I wasn't even looking at him." She explains.“So now you are calling me a fucking liar."“You know what, this conversation is ridiculous. I don't have to talk to someone like you. Some screws are obviously loose in your head."Thank goodness that I am not the only one that thinks she is insane.The lady and her fiance start moving away from Vivian.To my and their absolute shock, Vivian pulls the lady back and slaps her.“The next time you lay your filthy eyes on my man, I will make sure you regret it." She yells.The lady's fiance pushes Vivian away from her and starts assessing her face.“I am so...so fucking sorry, I don't...I didn't...I can't. Oh my god, tonight is such a fucking disaster." I exclaim, running my hands through my head.Fuck! I should never have brought Vivian. Who knew that behind that innocently pretty face was a psycho?I honestly expected the Lady to slap her back, or at least do sometime to defend herself. Instead, she looks at her from top to bottom, gives her the nastiest look I have ever seen in my life, and leaves.Vivian tries to stop her and cause more trouble, but one look from me keeps her in place.Once they are gone, I turn to look at Vivian, who is already staring at me with...adoration?“What the hell is your fucking problem," I ask aggressively.“What do you mean? Are you angry because I didn't let you fuck me here?" She bats her eyes lashes innocently.“First of all, I never wanted to fuck you. You are my maid and nothing but that. And, I am not and would never be in love with you, get that into your fucking skull." I hiss menacingly.She observes me with widely open eyes, and for a second, I thought she has finally understood what I have been trying to say to her.The words she speaks next confirm my suspicion that she isn't in her right mind.“Where is the camera?" She asks, looking around and searching for a camera.“What camera?" I question in confusion.“The camera that is filming your act, silly." She replies, playfully hitting me on my chest.“I almost bought you act." She laughs. “For a second, I thought you were truly angry at me."She is insane.Every single word that comes out of her mouth gives me a fucking headache.It seems like she doesn't understand English, but speaks it.“I need a drink," I announce, moving away from her to the main room. I take two glasses of wine and chuck them down.“Can I get anything strong?" I ask the waiter carrying the tray of drinks.“Just get me a bottle of vodka." I request, not giving a fuck about my reputation if I get caught drinking in public.“Sir we have wine and..."I cut the waiter off. “I said you should bring me a bottle of vodka. You are a waiter, right? Then do your fucking job." I almost yell.The waiter bows down and leaves.“And be quick about it," I yell after him.He comes back a few minutes later and hands me the bottle.I open it and start drinking straight from the bottle.I don't stop drinking until a hand stops me. “You shouldn't drink so much babe." Vivian scolds.Damn it! I was already starting to forget about her existence.“Don't...tell...me...me...what to fucking doooo." I slur out.I don't even know when I got this drunk.“Awnnnn, is my baby drunk?" Vivian coos. “Why don't we go back home and I'll treat you very nicely." She winks suggestively.Sober me would have been repulsed by her suggestion but drunk me loves the idea, and soon, I am kissing her like my life depends on it.CHAPTER FIVE | BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE VIVIAN ADDAMS “Hey babe," I greet the love of my life with a huge smile. “Good morning." “Morning," he replies, turning away from me, his eyes still tightly shut. I frown in response, wanting him to always face me. I giggle and kiss him on the back of his neck, and his back tense in response. Slowly, Lucas Knight turns around until he is staring directly into my eyes.His eyes widen dramatically and I giggle at how cute he looks. The shock he is feeling is evident on his face. My bed hair must be a shock to him. “Don't mind my hair babe, I will tame it very soon." I pat his forehead reassuringly. He flinches back when I touch him, and I giggle in amusement. He is so dramatic. Luke's eyes widen even further, and he looks like he has just remembered something very important. His mouth opens in shock, and he moves away from me. “What is wrong babe?" I whisper. “Oh no...no...no...no...no...no." He yells. Slowly and cautiously, he raises
CHAPTER SIX | LUNATICLUCAS KNIGHT “Babe, what is wrong? Do I do anything wrong?" Vivian asks, getting off the bed and moving towards me. She tries to touch me but I move away from her. This is probably the worse day of my life. I can't believe I hooked up with this lunatic. If only I didn't get drunk...I am never drinking in my life again. “Don't you like what you see?" She asks, stepping back and turning around so that I can fully see her stark naked body. I won't lie, she is so fucking hot, and I am fully turned on. But no matter how good she looks, I won't think with my dick again. I already made a big mistake, I won't be making another one. “You did not seem to hate what you are seeing last night, so why are you acting like this?" She mumbles. Once again, she is trying to think for me. She just randomly comes up with her explanation for everything. I literally just told her to get out of my life and the first thing she thinks about is that I don't like what I see. It ma
CHAPTER SEVEN | OUR WEDDING LUCAS KNIGHT “I am so sorry.” She apologies. “I swear I didn't mean it."“Who sent you?" I ask her. “What do you mean?" She asks in confusion. She is pretending. “Someone sent you to torment me. Who is it? Is it the Smiths? I know they always hated me, but this punishment is too extreme." “I don't know what you are talking about, I swear." Damn! She is a really good actress. She should try taking it as an occupation. “How much do you need to stop all this madness? I'm willing to pay any amount for you to get the fuck away from me." She ignores me and lays down on the bed. “So...I was thinking, we should start inviting guests for the party." She announces. “What party?" “Our Wedding party of course." She replies. “Our...what...wedding...our?" I stutter out. “Yes, our wedding. You are about to propose right? OMG! I knew it." I watch her speechlessly. Never in my life have I run out of words. “Okay, we obviously can't live here. I think I pre
CHAPTER EIGHT | YES, DADDY LUCAS KNIGHT“You. You will love me." She shrieks. Okay, I think things are getting out of control. “Please, just leave. Don't make me call security or the cops. I won't hesitate to call them if you try any fucking shit." I threaten. “Call them, call them. Let them all come and witness our marriage. Let them be a witness to our love. Please, do call them." She laughs. “What the hell is fucking wrong with you. You are a fucking psycho. How the hell didn't I notice this? I can't fucking believe I have been living in the same house with an asylum patient for the past year." I exclaim, running my hands through my hair. “I have been living with you for two years. Two fucking years. I begged for your attention, I was always seeking approval from you, I did everything within and out of my power to please you." At this point, she's shedding tears. I know I should pity her or some shit like that, but I'm too busy trying to call the cops. The fear of her hurt
CHAPTER NINE | SPECIAL WEDDINGVIVIAN ADDAMSPulling out a handcuff, he puts Vivian's hands behind her back. “Miss Vivian, you are under arrest."“Oh, is it time yet?" I ask in confusion.I wasn't expecting Luke to be in such a hurry. I thought he would at least get me a ring and a dress before we got married.“Time for what?" The police officer asks me.“For our special wedding," I reply.The police officer stared at me in silence for a few minutes before turning to look at Luke.“You sure know how to pick them, Lucas." He snickers.Luke rolls his eyes at him and begins to walk up the stairs. I try to follow him but the dude in uniform stops me.“You are under arrest, Miss Vivian." He announces again.“For what exactly?" I reply.He thinks for a while before replying. “For trespassing, fraudulent activities, and the inconvenience you have caused the gentleman up there. Let us not forget the fact that you spread false information to the press because of money." He explains slowly.“I
CHAPTER TEN | THE IMPORTANT DOCUMENTSLUCAS KNIGHTThe incident with Vivian put me in such a bad mood that I didn't want to go to work again the next day. I have to though, if I don't, my Grandfather would be informed and might kill me for it.The stares and whispers I get as I confidently walk to my office are so annoying that I succumb to the urge to give someone the middle finger.Unfortunately for me, it's Ada I end up giving the middle finger and she is not at all pleased with my rude action.“Great, my stuckup boss is here." She greets.I roll my eyes and go into my office with Ada following me.“Are the pictures taken down yet?" I inquire.“Yes, they have been taken down since yesterday." She informs me.“You may have taken the pictures down but you can't take away the image from people's minds. You are lucky Grandpa is on vacation right now. I think you should use this opportunity to address the public about the Vivian issue before the news gets to Grandpa. You know how he is
CHAPTER ELEVEN | THE SHRINE OF LOVELUCAS KNIGHT“What the fucking hell!" Ada exclaims, her eyes wide open in shock.I was honestly expecting anything from the psycho but this is fucking extreme.In a corner of Vivian's room is a wall full of my pictures, unaware pictures of me in and outside my mansion.I move closer to and see different cups with labels of the date, time, and place I used them. Some items I've used previously were also there.There are also some of my clothes and shoes there, all perfectly arranged.I even see some parts of my hair on the plastic bag labeled; “Lucas' hair."It is safe to say that I allowed an absolute psychotic stalker to live with me for two years.Who would have thought the cute little silent maid was so madly obsessed with me.? A part of me is terrified of what I'm seeing while the other part is amused. I know it's crazy but the fact that someone is paying me this much attention gives me some kind of sick satisfaction.Growing up without my pare
CHAPTER TWELVE | THE PROPOSALVIVIAN ADDAMSI watch as Mr Knight walks out of the mansion and I can swear that I saw an evil smirk on his face.Not long after, Lucas Knight runs after him and holds his hands. This doesn't stop Mr Knight from advancing towards the car. He doesn't stop moving until he is directly in front of the car.I see AJ and wave at him forgetting that the windows of the car are tinted. Then I remember that he left me after he promised to help me win Luke over.I frown when I remember what happened after I told AJ of the special place I made for Lucas in the mansion.AJ left my house immediately I told him about the special place I made for Lucas because apparently, I'm hopeless.I decided to take matters into my own hands since he was obviously not going to help me again.My plan was simple, go to the Knight's Mansion and beg Lucas to hire me back, I will cook up a lie about how I will end up on the streets if he doesn't help me. I also plan to promise him to stop
CHAPTER FORTY | CARLOS AND BIANCA VIVIAN ADDAMS I smile and peck him on the cheek as a sign of gratitude. I am really grateful for how understanding he is. Just then, I hear a gunshot and AJ falls to the ground with a thud. A terrible scream comes out of me before I know it. A hand circles around my waist and pulls me to their body. A handkerchief is forced on my nose and mouth as I struggle against the hold of my captor. I try not to breathe it but I have no choice and soon, I'm out. I wake up some hours later at an unfamiliar warehouse. “Where the fuck am I?" “Where are meant to be." A voice answers from the back.I look around again, trying to fully take in my surroundings to find any possible escape route. Dust hangs heavily in the air, and the sounds of nothingness reverberate off the crumbling walls. In quiet nooks, abandoned machinery rusts, and broken windows show a world that has moved on. Here, time seems to have stopped, preserved in the ruins of an abandoned missio
CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE | CONFESSIONVIVIAN ADDAMSEverything is settled now, we all got the payback we wanted. I smile as I slowly dance around my house in joy. Not only did the company Phoenix stole from my parents get returned, I also got more money even though I don't need it. Lucas lost everything and I feel really bad for him but it has to happen cause they had nothing to begin with. Ada moved back to Nigeria immediately she was done with her mission with Phoenix Knight's son who she adopted. I only allowed her leave after she promised to treat the little guy like her own child. Sofia and AJ were both promoted after the truth was released. As for me, I'm opening up a restaurant. I think it's the best thing for me to do. Lucas has been avoiding me and honestly, I don't blame him. I did deceive him after all. Through AJ, I tried to give him money to start his own business but he completely refused my help. He wants to start a new business from scratch and he doesn't want anyone's
CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT | THE GOD OF DEATHVIVIAN ADDAMS“I am taking you directly to MR Knight, and you can do anything you want to do with him." I inform her. “How the hell do you know where Phoenix Knight would be?" “Phoenix Knight is an open book. The many years of me observing him has made realize his major weakness. He is a bloody coward. He can kill a person, kidnap a person, involve himself in major illegal activities but once it comes to facing the consequences of his actions, he backes out. Another thing about Mr. Phoenix Knight is that he hates going down alone. He is always going to try and take someone with him. I know the first person that would come to his mind is Lucas Knight. From the information my men gave me, Lucas is in his mother's grave, so that is where we are going right now!" I explain in a rush.I silently gaze at her through the rearview mirror. “My gut tells me that you are scared Luke isn't the only person he's after. You thinks he will come after one of u
CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN | INSANITY VIVIAN ADDAMSShe turns to me and smiles exactly the way the Joker smiled. “Why the hell do you care, Viv? Don't you want her dead? Isn't she a threat to your marriage? You should be glad I helped you do the job your coward ass couldn't do. Why don't you stop being an ungrateful little brat and thank me for helping you secure your marriage." "What the hell are you talking about?" I growl. "Oh don't pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about Vivian, I know you felt like Vera Knight was a threat to your marriage."It has been confirmed, Ada has officially lost her damn mind and I don't think it is fixable. She needs urgent help. She should be locked up in a mental hospital. "Vera Knight is Lucas' step mom, only a deranged freak would even think of sleeping with his step mom. Last I checked, Lucas is not one of them. The thought of having anything to do with Vera Knight alone is disgusting to him. So you did not save my marriage like you think,
CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX | UNANSWERED QUESTIONSVIVIAN ADDAMS “Where is Vera Knight now? Was he able to take her to a safe place?" “I think that question should be left unanswered." What the fuck does she mean? Why can't she just answer the question? If Lucas was sent to kill Vera Knight and didn't, she should be safe now. Is she trying to hide where Vera is from us? “Where is Vera Knight Ada?" AJ asks her. “The next person that asks me about Vera Knight's whereabouts would be joining her. She is fucking missing, Lucas didn't find her when he went to her place." She explains.She is fucking lying and it is obvious...at least to me.Everything about what she said is suspicious. First, she threatened to send anyone who asked about her again to that place she is, then she says she is missing. Which means that she most likely knows where Vera is, she is just playing dumb. I won't be surprised if she is the one that kidnapped her. I believe she wouldn't have threatened us with that if she d
CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE | EVIL EXPOSED VIVIAN ADDAMS So, show me what you got. We have to work fast before Mr Knight discovers that you guys are actually not dead. I managed to make him believe that you guys are dead." Ada informs.“How the fuck did you manage to do that?" Ada smiles and says, “There would be no need for any of you to know the details. Just trust me, I won't let you down. So...what is the plan?" “Well, we were able to gather some evidence. We got photos, video, documents that have some of the things we want." “How the fuck were you able to get them?" Ada asks in surprise. “Phoenix Knight's right hand man unfortunately lost his son. His son was a victim of cancer and Mr Knight promised to pay all the bills. He stopped paying his right hand claiming that he was using the money to sponsor his son's treatment. Unfortunately for the poor boy but fortunately for us, Mr Knight never paid the bills. He only paid a nurse to watch over the boy after lying that the boy was in
CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR | THE EVIL REVEALED VIVIAN ADDAMS AJ's face turns beetroot red and he looks around hopelessly. I decided to help the poor guy and save him from embarrassment. “You still haven't told us why you locked us in for two days. And while you're at it, I will also like to know what you did in those two days you locked us up." I inform her. “I did that because...because I knew you guys won't understand anything and may want to leave and then get yourselves killed. I did that to protect you guys." She says so quietly that I almost didn't hear her.Honestly, she has a valid point, with the way she was acting the night she saved us, I would have found a way to leave this place immediately she dropped us here. She literally took us, no explanation, no assurance that she is with us and not against us, no nothing. She just dropped us in the house, locked us up and left. AJ tried multiple times to break the door but couldn't. Ada left us in a house that was fully stocked and d
CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE | AJ'S CRUSH VIVIAN ADDAMS “I can't believe you saved us, we would have died if not for you."I know you guys underestimated the length Mr Knight can go, so I secretly watched you to make sure you will be safe." Ada responds.“You talk like you know how awful Mr Knight is and what he is capable of. Seems like you experienced it first hand." Sofia points out.“Trust me, I know more about Mr Phoenix Knight than any of you in this room." “Yeah, about that, where is this place and why did you bring us here? And Mr Knight's name is Phoenix Knight? That's literally a gangster name." AJ says.Ada walks around classily, her heels clicking on the ground and making an annoyingly pleasant noise just like it did when she came to save us from the assassin's. The look on her eyes is extremely scary, she looks like she has had enough of everything and would prove to everyone that she knows what she is doing.In conclusion, right now, Ada looks like a badass boss bitch. Now I
CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO | THE MISSIONLUCAS KNIGHT The mission is simple: kill Vera Knight and leave no traces behind. I never thought I would become a murderer but I have to do this to win my Grandfather's trust. I need him to hand over the ownership of the company to me. I knock on Vera's door but find it open. I walk in and slowly start searching for her. The house is a mess, everything is scattered. It looks like a hurricane hit here.“Vera!" I look around, wondering what could have caused the havoc when I notice blood on the ground. I trail the blood and it leads me to a badly bleeding Vera holding a knife in her throat. I don't even wait to check if she is alive or not before I rush out of there. I am a fucking coward.Looks like someone beat me to my mission, or this was all a plan of my Grandfather to pin her death on me.I run out of the premises and go back to the Knight's mansion.My Grandfather welcomes me with a smile when I get home. “Welcome boy, you did a good job. Word
