[Lucas]I rushed down to Felicia's location; it was 11 p.m., and I was ready to strangle her to death if she ever touched my woman. Spencer and I stormed the building where she was. And when we stormed the entrance, it was packed with gamblers and people smoking and doing all kinds of trash; is this where Felicia brought Olivia? We entered what appeared to be a run-down building and eventually found her. I stood in the corner and observed her as she sat on an elderly man's lap, petting and kissing his body.Spencer turned to look at me. "I'm not sure she has an idea of what's going on,""Spencer I don't trust her, drag her out immediately," I took a step back and started walking towards the entrance, the whole environment is too disgusting to stand another second. How can Felicia be in such an environment?I leaned on my car, tapping my foot continuously. I watched as Spencer dragged her out and yanked her in front of me, causing her to fall on her knees.My fists clenched as I looked
[Lucas]We sped through the streets, propelled by the urgency of our mission. Spencer's directions were clear, leading us through a maze of back roads and dimly lit alleys; every second felt like an adventure as we approached the location Spencer had tracked down, she had not moved from her spot, implying that whoever held her captive had no idea she had made a call. My mind raced with a thousand different scenarios, each more terrifying than the last."Take your right," Spencer urged, and I quickly turned onto a quiet street that appeared abandoned."Slow down," he repeated, his gaze shifting between his laptop and the street ahead. "You should make a stop, I can get the signal that she is somewhere down the street, but we need to stop by here." I immediately marched the break, I looked in my side mirror and noticed the car his men took as they came to a halt behind me, Spencer took out his phone and called them, instructing them on what to do.We walked towards the building, with Sp
[Olivia]"Shhhh, no crying here, baby. Just relax and be a good girl, okay?" Lucas sat behind me in the hospital bed, it's been hours since I woke up, and I could not stop crying my eyes out, just how many times have I been admitted to the hospital in the last few months?"I am tired of lying down, I want to sit," I muttered, but Lucas's expression made it clear to me that I had not said those words out loud as I had assumed. I had been trying to open my mouth to speak for hours since I woke up, but my throat was hurting so much that I had to stay motionless until the words finally came out.Lucas asked, "Do you think you can eat anything now, no matter how small?" I shook my head, looking at him, wondering how I could swallow anything at this point when I could not even open my mouth "It is okay, baby, you will be fine," his eyes locked on mine, maintaining a steady reassuring gaze. I nodded and shifted my gaze away from him.********"Welcome back, Dad and Grandma." I hugged my gr
[Olivia]I walked toward the garden with my arms crossed over my chest."What is the problem, Olivia?" Usher's voice asked from behind. I ignored him and walked to my favorite spot, where I sat on my sleek swing and grabbed the handle.He stood with his two hands in his pocket, his gaze fixed on something behind me, not on my face."Usher," I called out, and he returned his gaze to my face."Olivia," he called, and I chuckled.I stood up from the swing, and he shifted back slightly, giving me enough space to stand comfortably. I folded my hands across my chest and locked my gaze on him."Did you call me out here so we could just stare at each other? I know you are very beautiful, my dear sister," Usher said, rolling his eyes at me."Usher, what did I do wrong? I have been wanting to ask you this question for a while now, but I have not had the opportunity, and I think I want to know what is wrong," I asked, and he looked at me and knitted his brows."I am not sure what you mean by tha
[Olivia]I made my way upstairs and pushed my room door open, Lucas was seated on the couch with his laptop on his lap, I checked my phone and it was 8 p.m, I reached out to him and pulled the laptop from his lap and closed it before heading to the table, I dropped it and returned to him, I held his lap and sat in between his legs"Is there ever a moment when you are not working?" I asked, and his hand patted my hair before he leaned in and kissed my earlobes."Hmm," I moaned."I want to take a bath, but I do not have the strength to do so," I told him, biting my lower lip to keep my laughter in."Just tell me, baby, I want you to bathe me and I want it to have a happy ending, don't be shy." He cupped my cheek from behind, and I burst out laughing."What happy ending are you talking about? Please don't teach me bad things, I am very innocent." I rolled my eyes in the air and scoffed."Of course, I know you are innocent, my bad bitch.""Mmm, I love it when you are like that," I moaned,
[Olivia]"Firstly, Olivia your father and I asked you to get married or we would take Liv Luxe away from you, of course we wouldn't do such a thing to you, my dear Olivia, tell me a Grandmother who would not want her granddaughter to have her own family and be happy." "Grandma!" Her name came out of my mouth in a whisper."Olivia, we wanted you to give love a try, I do not know why you decided to stay away from relationships and dig yourself up with work, I know how many blind dates I had set up for you in the past that you turned down. So we had to come up with a plan, and we knew that the perfect word to use for you to listen to is Liv Luxe, we all know how much you cherish that company."Secondly, when I met your husband, I noticed that there was a significant distance between you two. Even before Mia came up with the story that forced me to tell you to move in or shut down Liv Luxe, I had wanted to tell you both to move in, I was just waiting for the right moment to tell you that
[Lucas]"What is it Lucas I'm all ears," I tightened my fist and swallowed hard, my heart pounding against my chest, as she spoke to me, staring deeply into my eyes.'Lucas, you should tell her, do you think you can hide it from her forever? What if she finds out later? Yes, you didn't need to tell her all along because the relationship was supposed to end soon, but now remember that it's not the case anymore and you need to let her know,' my inner critic chimed in instantly, judging me.But what if she decides to let go and reacts in the same way Felicia did? What if she judges me in the same way she did? Not that I saw myself being cut up in such a situation, but it just happened, how long can I even keep it hidden from her? She needs to know, she deserves to know, even if she was not supposed to know before, but she has a right to know now, she can make her decision, even if I know that I am having second thoughts about telling her, I am eighty percent sure that she will walk away,
[Olivia]I slowly opened my eyes, but the sharp piercing morning sunlight streaming through the curtains forced me to close them again. I tried shifting myself to the other direction, I rubbed the sleep off my face with my palm, and slowly opened my eyes. I raised my head a bit and was met with the most handsome sleeping man I have ever seen. I shifted up a bit so I could rest on his arm while staring at his fantastic eyelid.My hand trailed towards his hair, which fell over his face, I slowly shifted it away from his face, a smile tugging at my lips as I stared at his perfect features, he shifted his body, drawing me closer to his broad chest."It's morning, Lucas," I tapped on him slowly, attempting to loosen his grip on me. His eyelids shifted slightly as I tapped his arm again, his eyes snapped open, and he yawned, using his left hand to cover his mouth. I watched as he rubbed the remaining sleep off his face, and he looked down, meeting my gaze. I smiled at him, and a smile crept
