Lucas' POVIs it only me? Or my girlfriend looks so devastated since she got out from LM. I was waiting outside my own company— as usual — and when Naomi got out, her face seemed so distressed and there was cute little wrinkled skin in between her two eyebrows and she's frowning deep with a hint of a scowl. She hopped on my bike without saying anything, not even a hi when she saw me which she usually does whenever she sees me outside. So instead of asking her what's wrong, I just put my helmet on after I put hers on and I brought her to a place that I knew she needed. I ordered two cups of ice cream, one milk flavored ice cream and one chocolate flavor. I shoved her the cup after I sat across from her.I watched her eat the milk ice cream, and her eyes pierced the cup like it was her enemy. She gripped the plastic spoon so tight that I knew any minute by now, it'll snap."So.." "I want to quit." She stated, my heart thudded and I held my breath. "To my job.""Wait, why? What happene
Naomi's POVThe day of the event has finally come. Everyone is so busy, pacing back and forth, here and there, papers on their hands, rushing footsteps, sometimes running, clothes are everywhere and so are the materials to make all the designs I created. "Ms. Kim, a little help here?" Marian asked, one of the designers like me but since she wasn't the one on the list, she was instructed to help the production staff to prepare all the models and the clothes they were going to wear in the runway. "Yes, what is it?" I asked as I approached her."So this one, I don't know where it does belong, was it on the upper or lower waist?" She asked, holding a fabric belt."This will go here." I told her and wrapped it around the guy model. "I think it's better if we don't tie it, just let it down." "Much better, thank you." Marian said, offering me a smile."Ms. Kim? We'll start within five minutes." Chantelle said, her head peeking from the curtain and behind it, all the CEO's of other compani
Lucas' POV"What the hell are you thinking?!" Denver shouted as soon as the car door slammed shut."What the hell are you thinking?" I asked the same question. "Why did you tell her that the CEO will meet her? I'm the CEO and you're going to bring me in—.""In your private doctor, you fucking idiot! A sane person would never jump out of the balcony from the second floor!""If I don't do that, she'll see me inside of that VIP room!" I yelled back frustratedly, wincing in pain after I broke my ankle when I landed wrong on the ground just because of a fucking small rock. "And have you seen a balcony in a bungalow?!""That doesn't matter, I can create one with that but you, jumping like that is so unnecessary!" Denver smacked my head and I heard my driver stifle a chuckle but he covered it by clearing his throat when I hit his shoulder."Sorry boss." He apologized and stepped hard on the gas to add more speed."Why are you so afraid that she might see you? Ain't you planning to reveal you
Naomi's POV"You looked like a mess." I commented when I got inside my office and saw Chantelle leaning down, face kissing the table."I feel like I'm a dogshit that’s been stepped-in twice." Chantelle groaned as she lazily dragged her ass up from the chair and walked groggily to the door."Go back in here." I said, pointing at the chair she was sitting on earlier. "I'll make you a coffee." I said and pulled her back and I walked outside my office to the pantry. When I got there, I bowed to the guy inside, having his breakfast then I immediately proceeded to the corner to make two cups of coffee, one strong black coffee for Chantelle as it is what she needed the most to remove her hangover and one milk coffee for me. While I'm preparing the coffees, I heard the door open behind me. I didn't bother to look because I was busy putting hot water in the mug. I don't want to hurt myself that's why."Yeah, like I can't believe that she would do that." A woman's voice said and she seemed to
Lucas' POV After the meeting with all of my high ranking men, I immediately left the building of my company, but as I was limping my way with the crutches, qnother member arrived and my eyes squinted in irritation when I saw Jacob. Of course, he was surprised to see me too but he still bent his body to greet me. "You're late.""I'm sorry Boss, I had to take care of something." He said without straightening up his body and staying bent."Was it more important than the meeting?" I asked."I'm sorry Boss." He said, not even answering my question. "Just ask your father what I said in the meeting." I dismissed and was about to walk again but my phone vibrated so I fished it out from the pocket of my coat and answered the call without even thinking. "Hello babe?""Lucas." Naomi's voice sounded devastated and my heart thudded loudly inside my chest and I froze. Why on earth didn't I even think of answering her call right outside of the building where she was working and the hundred perce
Naomi's POV"What happened to you?" Chantelle asked as soon as I got inside my office, panting and catching my own breath after I used the stairs rather than riding the elevator with the CEO. Can you imagine that? Because of my ego, I walked 26 floors just to get to my office and now my lungs almost lose oxygen. Well, it's not totally ego speaking, but it is my betrayed heart that wants to take that stairs and challenge myself."Nothing, but can I have a glass of water?" I asked as I sat on my chair. Chantelle walked to the corner and pour me a glass of water."Here." She said as she handed me the glass that I immediately drank and let out a sharp breath after. "So you run your way here?""Can we not talk about it?" I scrunch my nose up and twitch my lips."Fine, but you have to prepare yourself because I was told to go to the hall room since the CEO wants to introduce himself—.""I'm not going.""And the memo said that you need to be there." Chantelle continued. "Why?""I don't know
Lucas' POVLet's talk about bad timing because this old lady has all the worst timing in this world. I mean, of all time she would show herself, why now? She chose this exact time where I needed to woo my mad girlfriend. And how did she even get here? She's not allowed to get inside this company, to my house, to any businesses that my Dad left to me. "How did you get in?" I asked, holding Naomi's legs carefully around my waist so she wouldn't fall and thankfully that she stopped choking me.The old lady's scrutinizing look shifted to the woman behind me, literally behind my back, clinging on me."Is this what you're doing in the company? Playing around?" "That's never been in your business, now answer my question. How did you get in?" I asked again. I felt Naomi move behind and shrugged her legs, as if telling me to let go and so I did, putting her gently on the floor. When she got down, she was about to back away but I grabbed her hand and pulled her gently on my side. The lady's
Naomi's POVOkay, I admit. I am too weak when it comes to Lucas. I tried everything I could do to continue my days without seeing him even if we are literally in the same building, without talking to him that I could almost smash my phone several attempts just so I won't dial his number.I miss him so much and this pain that he caused me was too much to take in, but it's more painful not seeing him or being in his firm but soft arms wraps around my body. I badly want to see his face and stare at his perfect features. I miss hearing his voice that always calms me down and lulls me into thinking that he could put me to sleep while listening to his voice.It's been one hell of a week, I could barely sleep as I always ended up crying and staring at his pictures that I've taken on the internet since he came out to the public. Lots of his pictures everywhere, in magazines, in tabloids, name it. His pictures are scattered everywhere and I'm glad they have them so I could see him everyday eve
Naomi's POVI don't know if I should feel bad for the organizers of the event because everyone is outside with me and Romina. They left the party just so they would witness how I am going to humiliate my biggest bully. They know who I am, some of them even wear my designs. And I really don't know why Romina is still in denial that she knows who I am and even assumed the worst things.We waited for another three minutes and I could hear her keep scoffing while saying that I am just making things up and she's sure as hell that I sold my body to get the job.No bitch, I didn't sell my body. Because I am willing to give it to him because I love that man who loves to act like a kid in front of me.Another more minute and Jamie tapped my shoulder and pointed at the car pulling onto the curb and stopped in front of us. Lucas' car windows are heavily tinted so they couldn't see who's inside.Then the door opened, left foot came out, then Lucas' head popped out followed by his whole body. I
Naomi's POVEverything is ready, everyone is in position and they are just waiting for the event to start. I was preparing myself for the event tonight while my boyfriend is nowhere to be found. He told me before he left the house that he needed to take care of something about his company so I let him go but he promised that he would drive me to the venue and he'll be back before 7."You looked so beautiful." The woman behind me amusedly stared at me and I could see her through the reflection of the mirror in front of me."Thanks, you looked gorgeous too." I smiled. "I wonder if my ex boyfriend would tell me the same thing once he sees me." Jamie said as she stood up gracefully from my bed and she walked behind me, reaching for the zipper of my dress. She pulled it up slowly while staring at me in the mirror. "I'm so envious of you, Naomi.""There's nothing to envy about me." "You have a billionaire boyfriend who's all wounds up over you." "And so am I, we just so happen to unders
Lucas' POV"Since when did you become so childish, Lucas?""I have never seen you act like that before!""Next time, focus on the meeting and act according to your age!""You ain't a teenager with high hormones so stop acting like you're gonna die if you don't see your girlfriend for two hours!"Blah blah blah.. etcetera.. It's been 20 minutes but Denver keeps scolding me while we're heading back to my company after the successful meeting because I literally signed the documents without even reading it. Jorgina has done reading it and I know that she will tell me if there's some clause that we can't accept but since she didn't tell me anything, I don't need to get worried about signing it without reading it.Then I stood up, shook hands with the clients and adjourned the meeting. I don't know but I'm too excited to see my girlfriend when she texted me earlier that she has to tell me something when I get back to the company. Am I that whipped to her? Yes, yes I am. I just love her s
Naomi's POVTwo weeks after my mom's funeral, I started to work again since my boyfriend, the CEO of the company, revoked my irrevocable resignation letter. He told me that I needed the job to live; which is true. Though I can find another job, I already grew up in that company and even if a lot of employees didn't like my relationship with the boss, that doesn't matter as long as I'm doing what I love and earning money because I'm doing what my job is.Jamie offered me help to get in their company but I politely declined it. That will be the last company I would ever go with since it is Lucas' rivalry. I may have felt disappointed at him for hiding the truth and for every lie he fed me, but I am not that kind of a bitch that does revenge.I love him, and that feeling towards him was the big factor why until now, I stayed with him and he's the person that I will choose over and over again. Sounds so masochist? Or dumb? I don't care, I love him, he loves me and that all matters."Girl,
Lucas' POVI just don't care about anything else right now, all I care is the woman next to me, tear stain on her face, cute little wrinkles on her forehead while she's sleeping—though not really peaceful but at least she gets to fell asleep between my arms. My heart sank when Henry told me that her mom died in a car accident. It wasn't an accident because my mom has something to do with it. She wanted Naomi to hate me more and she thought that my girl would blame me for what happened. Though I already assumed that she will blame me for it, so before I visit Mrs. Kim funeral, I prepared myself, I even had a long script how would I explain to Naomi that it wasn't me, but all of my worries were washed away when she pulled me into a hug and cried on my chest. I melted into her arms and I wanted to cry too, but I stopped myself because she needed a shoulder to cry on and not a crying man.Jamie, on the other hand, didn't comment but I can see the disapproval in her eyes when Naomi told
Naomi's POV"I'm so fed up with his lies! I don't know what else should I believe because of his lies after lies!" I shouted furiously, pulling my hair up like I'm some mad woman. Jamie is just sitting next to me in silence, rubbing my back soothingly.After the argument, I left my house as fast as I could so Lucas wouldn't stop me. And yes, he didn't stop me, he didn't even call my name as well and just let me leave. Then I drove to Jamie's house and as soon as she opened the door for me, I broke down in front of her.She guided me inside her house and let me sit on the sofa and that's when I started telling her what happened between me and my boyfriend and the argument we had because of all the things I found out about what he did before and about my mom.He just sent my mother away after giving her money and my mom, of course, as a greedy person grabbed the opportunity. And now that she's coming back, I just know for sure that she spent all of the money in gambling and loses perhap
Lucas' POV"She's really gutsy if she would do that." "She already did, but I already informed our men to find her. She was just around for sure." "I can't believe that she would dare to disobey me after I spared her life and gave her money, Norrie really wants to do this?" I scoffed in annoyance. Denver came here this early morning just to tell me some bad news about Naomi's mom. She already came back after almost 4 months of hiding wherein I told her firmly before that do not ever show up again. But I guess she's really that stubborn and too courageous to do something against my will. "Shut it, Lucas. Naomi might've heard you." Denver rebuked, looking at the kitchen door to make sure that Naomi wasn't there to hear our conversation."Just make sure that she won't get to Naomi." I said as I stood up. "I just got back with my girl and I don't want to ruin it just because her mom came back.""Don't worry, I'll make sure that she will never get to Naomi." Denver assured me as he sto
Naomi's POVIt's hot, too hot that every time Lucas' palm touches my skin, I could feel it's burning and it makes me whimper. I will writhe under him in every kiss he's giving me, tracing my jaw down to my neck, then up to my ear, nibbling with my lobe and whispering to me I love yous from time to time. We're both naked and nervous, it's my first time and I don't think I'm his first as well. But he looked so lost and didn't know what to do. I let him do anything, I waited patiently till he remembered what he needed to do.He found my weak spot, moved his tongue circularly before sucking it and I moaned loudly, digging my fingers on his locks as I pushed him further closer to me. His hand started to work down there which made me feel more hot then he backed up to me, claiming my lips as we kissed torridly. We were lost in our own world, all our worries and things to deal with were washed away as we got drowned in this unfamiliar sensation that I had in me. I couldn't think of anythin
Lucas' POVI'm not really a fan of 'what's running in my girlfriend's mind' series. I mean, after the call with Jamie, she became so occupied. Her mind keeps lurking everywhere, as if she's thinking something that was not in the present days. Sometimes, she'll stare at me for God knows how long and it makes me uncomfortable. Or sometimes, she'll look outside the restaurant and her mind will roam around while I'm talking. It's been an hour but I couldn't feel her presence at all.I had enough. I put down the steak knife and the fork, clasped my hands together as my elbows rested on the table and my chin on top of them. "So tell me. What is it?" I asked, but again, Naomi couldn't hear me at all. "Naomi." I called but still no response. "Babe." I reached for her face and caressed it gently. She flinched on the sudden contact and she backed away. "What's wrong baby?""N-nothing." She stuttered, her eyes looking everywhere but me and I know there's something wrong with that call."Do you
