[Lucas] "Yes, I can hear you go ahead," I told Ethan as I typed down the information I had asked him to provide for me earlier. "Yes, sir, that is all, I will send the email within an hour," Ethan spoke over the phone, and I nodded despite the fact that he could not see me. "Alright, please make sure to follow the instructions I provided and ensure that the meetings go well. These are very important clients, so working with them should not be taken lightly, I am depending on you." "I will not fail you, sir," Ethan said, and I hung up, typing down the few ideas that came to mind and saving them before shutting down my laptop. "Hey, dude, are you still working?" Usher asked as he approached me and sat opposite the couch. "Yes, just hold on, I will be down in a minute." I stood up and walked upstairs, I really didn't feel like playing golf with Usher and Mr.Davis, but not like I could just turn them down. I pushed the door open and my gaze wandered to the bed, where Olivia was sleep
[Lucas]"What the hell is going on?" Olivia mumbled, but as I watched her lip movement, I could clearly hear her.I shook my head at her, and we both turned towards the direction. I let go of my cutlery as I saw her struggling with the housekeeper to walk inside. I schooled my features as I sat still, my eyes wandered all over the table, and everyone's gaze was focused on the doorway, except Mia, whose eyes met mine and she grinned, her gaze trailing to Olivia before returning to the door."Where is that fool who thinks that what I worked hard for can be taking away from me just like that?" Felicia's voice echoed in my ear, and without thinking, I stood up and walked towards where the housekeeper was still struggling with her."Tina, who is making such noise?" Mr. Davis inquired. I was already standing in front of Felicia when I noticed footsteps close behind me. I grabbed Felicia's hand and dragged her outside. When I looked back, Olivia was right behind me. I held her firmly as I d
[Olivia]If you choose not to respond, that's fine, but I am curious as to why she believes she can not spend the rest of her life with you. And she mentioned this when I first met her at your house, and she said I'll run out of this marriage once i find out. if you don't mind, can I know what she meant by that?" I asked Lucas, who stared deep into my eyes."It's nothing, Olivia, don't mind that hypocrite." He spoke with his eyes fixed on mine, his expression polished and practiced, but I could not detect a glimmer of authenticity behind it, perhaps it's just something he can not talk about."It's fine," I forced a smile as a knock came on the door, and I walked towards it, pulling it open."Oh Tina, I almost forgot about the food, please come in," I urged her, and she walked in with the tray of food; I followed behind her as she dropped it on the table."I will take my leave, ma. If you need anything, please let me know." Tina said as she walked out, slowly closing the door behind he
[Olivia]Did I fall into Felicia's trap?Panic set in when I realized I was being dragged away from the safety of the open beach. I tried to kick out with my free leg, but the grip was too strong. "Who...who the fuck...?" I tried to hold onto the slipping sand with my voice cutting in my throat, but the pain in my head prevented me from raising my head.Adrenaline rushed through me as I twisted and turned in an attempt to break free from the attacker's tight grip. My ankle throbbed, but I was not going to give up even though it felt like more than two people were pulling my legs.Just as I thought I was about to be overpowered, with my heart pounding in my chest like it was going to reap off, I wriggled my feet forcefully and the hand freed me. I scrambled to my feet immediately and took off in a sprint, making sure not to lose my bag and car key, which I had clutched so tightly while the hand was dragging me.My heart was racing, and my breathing came in ragged gasps. I could hear th
[Olivia]"What is the problem Olivia" Lucas asked, as his blue orbs fixed on mine, I opened my mouth to talk but shut it back, I closed my eyes as I took a deep breath, who is after me? What have I done?The phone in my hand loosened, and I opened my eyes to see Lucas holding the phone, his brow knitted together.Lucas read the words aloud and furrowed his brow at me. "Let us hope you get lucky next time to run off like you just did.""Check the first message," I muttered, barely audible. He locked his gaze on me before turning to the phone and reading out the first message I received."What actually happened, and what does this person mean by this?" He asked, and I shook my head; I needed to lay down, and I did not want to talk about it tonight, I just hope he understands."Come here," he held me as he slowly tucked me into the bed and covered me with the duvet, "I will ask the maid to get you a hot chocolate tea," he said, and I nodded as I turned over to the other side of the bed,
[Olivia]]"When did you start excusing yourself to take calls and why did you flip it over when it rang? What are you hiding?" I asked Kaleb and he stepped back and slipped his phone back to his pocket."Swedi, what do you mean? Come here," he said, drawing me closer, but I backed away and stared into his eyes."What are you hiding?" And why are you excusing yourself? Am I now a stranger that you can not take calls in my presence?" Kalebs expression turned calm, his voice even. "It's just about work, baby, what could I possibly hide from you? I will be right back."I raised my brow at him, my gaze intense. "About work, At this hour, on a Saturday? Meanwhile, you stated that you were not going to work for your father's company, and you only have companies in Canada where you returned from, so may I ask what work you are referring to? I furrowed my brow at him."Baby, I have to respond to them when they need my attention even if I am not there in person."I searched his face for signs
[Lucas]"Are you serious about what you said earlier?" Usher asked from the passangers seat, as we drove to watch a football game."Absolutely, if I had not seen the message myself and the bruises on her body, I would think she was lying."That explains why she has been indoors for a while now, I have noticed she does not leave the house very often these days, so what are you planning to do about it?" Usher asked"I have one person in mind, and I am tracking her for the time being, I have not received any response from my men, but if she has a hand in it, she will undoubtedly regret it." My jaw tightened as I gripped the steering wheel. Felicia, I hope it is not you, because if you are behind this, I swear you will pay."Who are you suspecting?" Usher's question interrupted my thoughts.We headed toward the parking lot as I did a U-turn and said, "Just a formal friend of mine who I had a fall out with, but not to worry, I will make sure my men leave no stone unturned, I will definitel
[Lucas]She suddenly pushed me inside the room and slammed the door behind her. My gaze shifted to her right hand as she raised it, revealing a leather paddle and a pair of handcuffs, their metal gleaming ominously. I stared back into her eyes, and my heart began to race."What the hell is this Mia?" I demanded my voice tight with fustration."Hey, don't act like you don't know what's going on here," she bit her bottom lip while twirling her finger through her blonde hair."I'm asking you again, what the hell is this? And what are you doing in here with this trash?" I fixed my gaze on her, and she let the items fall from her grasp and landed on the floor."Lucas, I know you were just dominating back then for fun and not actually who you are" she said her voice low and sultry, filled with a mix of desire and challenge. "Even though I hate to admit it, I have never had anyone who forced me to submit and gave it to me with the intensity that you did. How about we have some fun tonight?"
