MARRY ME, LORD TWENTY-FIVE | PROBLEM WITH BIANCA
CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE | PROBLEM WITH BIANCAVIVIAN ADDAMS 4 MONTHS LATERThings have been going fine between Luke and me and just as he promised, he gave me a chance. I have never been as happy as I am now in my entire life. Lucas has been making efforts to know me and I have discovered things I could never have found out about him through stalking. I stopped walking at the office after I got fired and Ada resumed the next day. Luke sent her back home but she insisted that she was perfectly fine. I know she isn't fine, there is this distant look in her eyes and she is anxious around everyone. “Luke, where did you put the knife?" I ask the idiot eating almost everything he sees. After the failed dinner date, Lucas decides to learn how to cook since he can not bear the fact that he is not good at everything. Apparently, he has always been perfect and won't let anything stop his perfection. Teaching Lucas Knight how to cook is probably one of the worst decisions I have ever made in m
MARRY ME, LORD TWENTY-SIX | THE WRONG ARREST
CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX | THE WRONG ARREST VIVIAN ADDAMS“Then tell me Vivian Addams, what were you doing in the King's hotel last night? It can't be a coincidence that that is the same hotel Bianca was logged in. I spoke to the staff members and they all acknowledged the fact that you left with blood on your clothes. Can you please explain how that happened?" My whole body becomes rigid once he mentions the hotel. “I..." “You what Vivian?" Luke moves closer to me until he is standing in front of me. “I don't know what to say." I whisper. “You don't know what to say or you don't want to say what you know?" “I need you to trust me Luke, I never touched Bianca. Yes, I was at the King's hotel yesterday even but I swear on my life that I didn't set my eyes on Bianca." I promise. “What then were you doing there?" I sigh and look away from him, “I am sorry, but I can't tell you." “It is absolutely fine that you can't tell me, just be prepared to explain yourself to the police." “The p
MARRY ME, LORD TWENTY-SEVEN | THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT
CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN | THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT VIVIAN ADDAMSAt least now I know that it is the coffee that is poisoned. My saviour comes as I hear a voice from the officer's back. “What the fuck is going on hear?" AJ walks into the cell while the officer fidgets. “I...I...I..." Officer weird vibes stammers. I would have laughed out loud if I wasn't so scared right now. Mr Knight is on to me faster than I could have predicted. I have to act fast and wise now. Wiser than I have been acting. I decide to help the officer out, not because I don't want him to get caught but because if he does, it might ruin my plans. I can't take any chances, I have walked so hard to let someone destroy all my plans. “Nothing. I only begged him to get my coffee and some doughnuts. I couldn't have dinner before I was arrested so I was really hungry. He is scared of getting caught by his bosses so he was waiting to make sure I finish it all." AJ narrows his eyes and I know he knows I am lying, but
MARRY ME, LORD TWENTY-EIGHT | THE CHASE
CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT | THE CHASE VIVIAN ADDAMS The engine roars as we speed through the dimly lit city streets, the relentless chase of the assassins trailing dangerously close. AJ grips the wheel with determination, Sofia frantically scanning the rearview mirror from the back sit. My heart races, adrenaline pumping through my veins. "AJ, take the next turn!" I shout, the urgency in my voice echoing the danger that hides behind us.I am not going to die now, not until I reveal the truth about Mr Knight. Sofia lean's over the backseat, eyes wide. "They're gaining on us!"AJ skillfully manoeuvres the car, tires screeching against the pavement. My mind races, piecing together the parts of a plan."Head for the warehouse district. We might be able to lose them in the alleys."The car jolts as bullets pierces the air, sounding very close. Fear grips at my chest, but determination pushes me forward."Sofia, check the glove compartment for anything we can use! We have to lose them." S
MARRY ME, LORD TWENTY-NINE | THE DIVORCE
CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE | THE DIVORCE RECAPShe is going to get us killed if she doesn't keep that mouth of hers shut. Unfortunately, the person finds a hiding place and points a flashlight at us. Slowly, I raise my head to behold our saviour...or would be a killer. “Ada?" We all exclaim at the same time in shock. LUCAS KNIGHT “Call that bastard would you." My Grandfather orders Vera. They both barged into my house today and have been eating and drinking with Bianca. Vera and Bianca can't stand each other, but they are both sucking their hatred up because of my Grandfather. I have been waiting for him to summon me before I join them. I am not in the mood for any problem with anyone today. Bianca had been staying with me since Vivian was arrested and honestly, since the night she started leaving here, I feel like my energy is being sucked out of me. The only reason allowed her to stay here in the first place is so that I can pacify her to let Vivian go. I don't want her to drag
MARRY ME, LORD THIRTY | THE REVELATION
CHAPTER THIRTY | THE REVELATION LUCAS KNIGHT“No, I won't do it. I won't do any of those things. Vivian Knight is my wife, and should be seen and respected as my wife. I don't want Bianca. Hell, I only manage to tolerate her as a friend. I won't marry her." I say firmly. My Grandfather laughs loudly like he is on crack. “I knew you would say something foolish, and that is why I found a solution. You don't have a choice in this matter Lucas Knight. Your precious Vivian Addams should be dead by now, her body thrown into the deep ocean where no one can ever find it. Along with the useless cop you call a friend and his deranged cousin." “What the hell did you do Grandpa?" I ask in fright.I have always feared my Grandfather, but the fear I feel around him is so much greater than any other. “I did what any sensible man would do, I got rid of every and any threat to my business. I won't sit back and let somebody tamper with something that took me so much time and effort to build. That wo
MARRY ME, LORD THIRTY-ONE | THE WARNING
CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE | THE WARNING LUCAS KNIGHTI start getting dizzy and can barely hear anything over the sound the pounding in my head is making. I hold on to the couch in an attempt to stabilise myself and not fall off it. “I think you need time to digest. I will leave now." She attempts to leave but I stop her by holding her hand. “How did my father die?" “You don't have a father Luke boy, you are a fucking bastard." She says wryly.It takes all the fucking self control in my body for me not to rush over to her and strangle her until she gives me all the information I want.“What happened to my father? I ask no longer with sadness but aggression. “Your father...Mr Knight's only crime was falling in love with your mother. He was so in love with her that he couldn't concentrate on anything. After your mother was raped, he stopped going to the office, stopped participating in anything that doesn't involve your mother. He became extra protective of her and refused to leave her al
MARRY ME, LORD THIRTY-TWO | THE MISSION
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.

MARRY ME, LORD FORTY | CARLOS AND BIANCA
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
MARRY ME, LORD THIRTY-NINE | CONFESSION
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
MARRY ME, LORD THIRTY-EIGHT | THE GOD OF DEATH
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
MARRY ME, LORD THIRTY-SEVEN | INSANITY
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,
MARRY ME, LORD THIRTY-SIX | UNANSWERED QUESTIONS
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
MARRY ME, LORD THIRTY-FIVE | EVIL EXPOSED
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
MARRY ME, LORD THIRTY-FOUR | THE EVIL REVEALED
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
MARRY ME, LORD THIRTY-THREE | AJ'S CRUSH
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
