Alex walked into the bathroom and filled the bathtub with warm water. After that he came back to the room and picked Lucy up in his armsHe had taken off the wet clothes, leaving only her netted underwear and braAlex tried his possible best not to look at Lucy's body. He kept on a serious face, and shook all thoughts of her out of his mindHe's just going to help her have a warm shower and nothing else. After getting into the bathroom, he gently placed Lucy into the bathtub and went back to the room. He moved up and down, trying to think of somethingHe tried his possible best not to get any desires. But....Alex hit the bed with his leg several times. He couldn’t understand why he was going through all those changesHe made so many promises to himself, but now so many things are happening without his knowledge. He lowered his eyes hesitantly to stare at his already erected man and sighed out helplesslyWhat he was afraid of is the same thing that has happened right now. Now how do
The next day...."Lucy..."Lucy heard her name being called several times, but it felt like they were sounds coming afarLucy slowly opened her eyes and blinked profusely. She turned her eyes to where the sound was coming from and saw a familiar figure sitting beside herIt was Bella. And she kept on calling out her name with her eyes fixed elsewhere. She hadn’t notice yet that she was awakeLucy tried calling out her name, but her voice didn’t seem to be audible enough to Bella’s hearing. Not knowing what else to do, Lucy slowly helped herself to sit up on the bed which subconsciously drew Bella’s attention finally“Lucy! you’re awake? Thank God finally” Bella exclaimed excitedly and helped Lucy to sit up on the bed properly“Here, have some water” She quickly offered and said to the house help “Nelia please get her some soup. And... inform Alex his wife is awake now”“Yes ma’am” Nelia nodded politely and walked out“You really scared all of us Lucy. Why did you have to be in such a
The next day…Lucy opened her eyes quite early. She searched the room by her eyes and found Alex standing in front of the mirror. He was buttoning his shirt and whistling at the same timeLucy felt amazed by this new side of Alex. They’ve been staying together for almost a week now, and she has never seen him whistle early in the morning like thisHis face also looked very calm and cheerful. And he seemed to be in a very good mood or something like thatLast night Lucy thought he would show up to check on her after Bella sent Nelia to go and inform him she had woken up, but he didn’t show up until she fell asleep. She didn’t even realize the time he had come back into the roomLucy folded her blanket and kept it in the wardrobe. After that she went straight to the bathroom and took a quick shower. When she came back into the room, she saw Alex heading outside and quickly called “Alex…”Alex stood still for a while and slowly turned to face Lucy with raised brows “hmm?..”“Ahh… it’s Lo
Jeffery spotted Lucy and Bella standing and decided to pass by to say hello. Collins had gone to speak with Lora’s father with his parentsBella stood without any expression on her face. She was confused as to whether Jeffery is the groom or the other guyShe just met him yesterday. And today he’s getting married?This shouldn’t have been a problem to her. But somehow it got her restless. She just wished Jeffery wasn’t the groom as she was thinkingWhile at the same time, Lucy also stood with surprise. Thinking Jeffery is Lora’s groom and not Collins. Because the Lora she knows will never agree to marry Collins knowing he’s her ex-boyfriend“Hi Bella, I’m glad we’ve met again” Jeffery smiled politely at Bella and spoke“Yeah…you’re getting married?” Bella stammered hesitantly“No. It’s my brother’s wedding” Jeffery replied with the corner of his eyes fixed on Lucy’s faceHe had never imagined Lucy would show up at her ex-boyfriend’s wedding. And he thought possibly she came only becau
“Are you out of your mind? You want us to run away after getting married to my sister?” Lucy frowned deeply and asked in a voice full of disgust“I never wanted to go ahead with this marriage. But you left me with no other option” Collins made a step forward and tried to touch Lucy with tears in his eyesThe desperation in his eyes made Lucy a bit confused. Because she never asked Collins for a break upEven though he cheated on her once, she still forgave him and decided to give him another chance because of the love she had for himBut one day she received a message from him, saying he didn’t want to go on with this relationship anymore. He claimed to have found someone else whom he believes to be the love of his life and wish to spend the rest of his life withLucy tried reaching him on several occasions after receiving this message from him but to no availCollins seemed to have forgotten about their love in a second. And blocked her number in additionAfter crying over him for ab
Alex threw Lucy roughly onto the bed and started unbuckling his beltLucy quickly sat up on the bed. Upon realizing what Alex’s intentions were, she rolled out of the bed as fast as possible but Alex grabbed her before she could reach the floorHe pulled her back onto the bed and pressed his muscular body firmly against hers. He kissed her like a wild beast, and left so many marks around her neck and collarboneLucy’s eyes welled up with tears, but she didn’t want to look weak in front Alex so she made sure not to let even a single drop fall outShe struggled a few times at first, but she literally became exhausted in no time and lied on the bed obedientlyShe new there was no means of saving herself at this point. And that it would be better if she doesn’t make things worse for herselfShe has always wanted Alex to make out with her, so that they could start building a new family together. But not in this harsh wayAlex’s face didn’t look friendly, and his eyes were just burning with
Lora stepped out onto the corridor and looked around to see whether she could find any of the maids around and fortunately, there was none aroundThis mansion is for Collins and Jeffery alone. Their parents live in a different mansion, and the maids showed her around when she arrived. So, she knew very well where Jeffery’s room wasLora walked very carefully and gently towards Jeffery’s room. It was just few meters away from Collins’ room along the same corridorWhen she got to the door, she pressed the door handle and pushed the door open as fast as she could and walked inShe didn’t want to be seen by any of the maids, or else it would raise suspicions and eventually get to Collins one dayJeffery quickly stood up from the bed upon seeing Lora and opened his arms to embrace her which Lora did without a second thoughtAfter hugging for a while, Lora pulled out and asked worriedly “where is Collins?”“He won’t come back home tonight. He told me he’ll be spending the night at the offic
Two weeks passed quickly within the blink of an eyeAnd within these past days, nothing had changed. Alex still maintained his coldness, and it seemed Lucy still hadn’t been able to make even a single step in gaining Alex’s trustThings seemed to be getting worse rather. But Lucy still didn’t lose hope yetAlex isn’t such an easy going person. And Lucy knew it was going to take her a long time to finally win his love and trustAs usual, it was an early morning. And time for breakfast was dueAlex had already left the room just like always. Lucy freshened up, got ready in a simple dress and stepped out of the roomUpon stepping out, she saw a piece of paper lying just at the door stepLucy stared keenly at the piece of paper for a while and picked it up hesitantly However it landed over there, she had no idea of. And it didn’t concern her so much eitherShe just felt curious to know what could have possibly been written on that piece of paper Lucy’s eyebrows arched slightly upon read
“Meaw…..” Loki’s soft cries sounded just as Mia and Aaron’s lips were about touching each other, making both of them pull away abruptly “Oh my God!…” Mia worried in her heart. She glanced over at the small cat walking around and sighed out silently in her heartIf it had shown up few minutes after now, then she would have definitely kiss AaronMia bit her lower lip slightly in disappointment. She wasn’t disappointed in anyone, but herself. How could she allow Aaron to kiss her so easily like this“Loki…. Where the hell in the world are you coming from? I’m going to punish you for sure. Come with me” Marisa stumbled over to where the little cat was and picked it upShe kept on scolding it while heading back to the kitchen making Aaron laugh slightly He knew why Marisa was being that harsh towards Loki. And in fact, it really made him happy He glanced over at Mia with the corner of his eyes and blew out a loud sigh “I think I should leave now. Maybe we can have coffee another time”
“Knock…knock…knock” Lucy knocked on the door gently and waited patiently She glance over at Alex who was seated in the car waiting for her and sighed out desperatelyShe didn’t want to go on with this, but she has no other option eitherWhatever Alex said to her earlier at the cemetery still lingered in her mind. And so many questions piled up in her brainShe tried asking Alex why he believes strongly her father is the cause of his parent’s death. But he didn’t allow herHe just kept on pleading with her to bring him to Mrs. Hayes’ house. And now they’re here, but there seemed to be no one aroundLucy knocked on the door several times again. But the result still remained the same. No one showed up at the doorLucy turned to look at Alex and shook her head slightly with worryWith this, Alex quickly got out of the car and joined Lucy up there. He also knocked on the door several times and went round to see if he could find anyone nearbyAfter confirming there was really no one around
“I really wish you weren’t doing this Jeffery. It feels much better being here alone with you without that brother of yours” Lora coiled herself up on the bed and pouted softly “You know this is not my idea. If I don’t go and bail Collins out of that place today then my dad will really get angry. Besides, you guys doesn’t do anything intimate when he’s around do you?” Jeffery asked while buttoning his shirt in front of the dressing mirror “Not really. I just don’t like his presence. I wish I could spend this night too here with you” Lora licked the corners of her lip slightly and stepped out of the bedShe walked over to Jeffery and hugged him tightly from behind “please don’t go”Jeffery turned round to face Lora after buttoning his shirt and held onto her shoulders gently “Lora, we’ve been spending the past few nights together and I believe we both need some rest at this point. Aren’t you tired? We just finished two rounds this morning”“I can do it over and over again with you wi
Lucy kept the picture back in the album and closed her suitcase. After that she kept the other picture too back at where she picked it from and closed the wardrobe gently So many things didn’t make sense to her at this pointThe last time Alex got upset with her for performing the rumba dance and inquired about where she learnt it fromMrs Hayes too almost fainted from hearing Alex’s name the last time she visited herAnd today she has found her picture lying in Alex’s wardrobe. What could be the reason behind all these?Or it’s just some mere coincidence?No. This can’t be just some mere coincidence. There must surely be some kind of connection between these two people she doesn’t know aboutAnd she’s got to find out by all means Lucy sighed out helplessly at the thought of all these and covered herself with her blanket. Sleeping in the couch often gives her body aches, but it’s still much better than that flat mattress Collins provided her with And it made her fall asleep in no t
Later in the evening…Aaron sat at the dining table together with Mia and Bella waiting anxiously for Lucy and AlexVanessa told them earlier this morning Lucy had been found. And that she’s with AlexBut it’s been several hours now, and still there’s no sign of any of themAaron tried calling Alex earlier but he didn’t answer. The panic has reduced, because they’re hopeful Alex will bring Lucy home. And that’s what they’re all eagerly waiting for To see Lucy, hug her and have dinner together with herAfter waiting for few more minutes, the door finally swung open. And Alex walked in with Lucy hand in hand“Lucy!…” Mia quickly rushed over to them and hugged Lucy tightly. Few days ago she almost believed her friend was gone for good. And that she was never going to see her again until they meet in the next world But now here she is. Standing fit and strong in front of her. What else can excite her more?“We’re glad you’re finally back home Lucy. You got all of us so worried about yo
“Hey Jeff, pick me up at the airport right now. I’m waiting for you by the roadside” Collins spoke anxiously on the phone as he headed to the roadside “The Greens haven’t found you have they?” Jeffery asked worriedly from the other side of the phone“Not yet. But if you delay so much they might find me. And you know what’ll happen if that happens. So please hurry” Collins hanged up the call and walked in the fastest pace everAfter contemplating on what to do earlier, he finally came to a decision of saving himself over his love for Lucy He should have known everything was a trick. But now here he is, running for his lifeThe love he has for Lucy blinded him. He trusted her completely, thinking they were about leaving the country for a new beginning But who was he kidding?However Lucy was able to contact Alex still remained a mystery to Collins. He thought very seriously about it, but nothing seemed to making sense to himLucy has chosen Alex over him. But that doesn’t mean he’s g
“Hello, I just received a call from Lucy. She claims to have been kidnapped by her ex boyfriend and that he’s taking her out of the country. Please send your men to the airport right away. I’ll meet them in the next few minutes” Vanessa explained in a breath and hanged up the callThe feeling of victory rushed through her bloodstream. And her face lit up with so much joyCollins has made her work quiet easy somehow. And now all she needs to do is to get to the airport as soon as possible to stop him from sending Lucy awayThere’s no way Alex is going to find out about this ever. Because he will continue to think Lucy is with her ex boyfriend and they’re both nowhere to be foundVanessa smiled devishly to herself at the thought of this and turned to head upstairs for her car keys. But just as she took a step, Alex showed up from nowhere looking so anxious“Alex..““I know. Let’s go together” Alex cut Vanessa short and quickly rushed outsideWhat does he know?Vanessa followed Alex outs
Staring down at the screen of the phone, Collins sighed out helplessly and turned to look at Lucy who was lying quietly on the mattress Her mind seemed to be lost somewhere, and so she hadn’t notice Collins’ presence yetSo many things swept through her mind. And in the cause of this, a plan suddenly popped up in her mindEven though she wasn’t so sure about it, Lucy still felt it would be best to try it. Who knows? Maybe it might work“Good morning…” Collins cleared his throat slightly to wake Lucy upHearing Collins’ voice, Lucy slowly sat up on the mattress and smiled slyly. She carried herself up and stepped closer to him with a calm face“good morning. Actually I’ve been waiting for you to… apologize for how I behaved towards you last night. I thought Alex would come looking for me, but …”“….” Collins’ brows arched with surprise. What suddenly changed? Why is Lucy now being polite to him?“I know you must be wondering what changed over night. But don’t worry. I don’t mean any ha
“Alex! Alex stop!…” Vanessa chased Alex down the hall and held tightly onto his hand to stop him from going outIt was still heavily raining. But Alex seemed to care less about itHe has been fooled by the doctor. And now he’s got to make things right before they get out of handsThe last time Collins told him he will take Lucy away from himAnd now because he didn’t take his words so seriously, this has happenedWhat at all could be happening between the two of them right now? Could it be possibly Collins is kissing Lucy at the moment? Or they’re having fun somewhere far away?What if they’re even making out?….“Damn it! Damn all of you!” Alex roared angrily at the thought of all thisLucy and Collins used to be lovers. He doesn’t know so much about their love story but the thought of it just hunts him like something The last time he saw them kissing each other. Which means it’s possible they’re still in love with each other ‘No!’ Alex worried. He ran his hand through his hair desp
