Catherine's POV. "I'm losing it, Lucas, seriously, when is she leaving?" Lucas looked away from the book he was reading to look at me with a smile, "What? Is this funny?" I asked with a scowl and his grin deepened,"Nah, it's just cute seeing how jealous my little Red can be, you should know baby, I do not have eyes for her, just you alone love." He said with a smile and I just waved him away, I'm really getting frustrated with that woman, it's been a week and I feel like running away from the house, of course, she got worse and Lucas doesn't know how idiotic his secretary is, he's hardly at home now, though Lily got to work too but it's just so frustrating having her in.I've been trying to ignore her attitude for the past few days but fuck me! I can't, she's so out of control, the way she treats the servants irks me and those poor things can't say anything."I'm not jealous." I denied and he just chuckled,"Come here," He invited, patting the space beside him,Despite not wanting
Lily's POV. Fuck! Fuck!! Fuck!!! I hate that girl! I watched her till she got into the elevator and the urge to just send someone to kill her rose in me but I knew that would be suicide on my path. Lucas would find out and with the way he is with her, he's gonna kill me if he traces it to me. Walking to my room, my thoughts are all jumbled up and I can't even think straight! Who the hell does she think she is, she's a nobody, and the only thing keeping her here are her kids, Lucas prioritizes family and would do anything for family but this is becoming too much. I've burnt down my house, risked everything to come here and be close to him but he's chasing me out because of that street rat! That little girl! A little girl with no good background! She's a nobody for goodness sake! I know Lucas loves a good fuck and I won't be surprised if he's fucking her but doing things to please her is something out of the ordinary. After he lost his wife, I tried to get close to him and I
Catherine's POV. "Why did you send the driver away?" Natty asked me as I sent away the driver meant to pick me up from school,"I have somewhere else to go, baby," I said and headed back to sit with her, she was waiting for her mom to come pick her up, "Why don't you ask him to take you wherever you want to go?" She asked, turning to face me fully I just shrugged before saying,"Cause he'll report to Lucas, I don't want anything that would anger Lucas, he went on a journey today and won't be back till next two days, if the driver snitches on me to him, he's gonna lose it, and come home," I explained and she gave me a suspicious look, "Where are you going, Cathy?" "Well, Sam agreed to take me to a local food competition hosted in town today, we feel like it would help us, especially me who haven't attended any competition before," I explained and a frown immediately graced her face, "What? I asked you if you'll be going and you said no." I added immediately and she sighed, "I can
Catherine's POV. My eyes slowly fluttered open only to be greeted by an oppressive darkness. My head throbbed in pain, I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out so I calmed down. My eyes suddenly widened and I began to struggle to move but the sounds of chains jiggled, and I felt the restraints on my hands and legs. Panic surged as memories of the car ride and the masked men flooded back.Oh no no no! What the fuck is going on?! I struggled again and the chains made rattling sounds that echoed in the dark room, "Where am I?" I muttered, my voice barely audible. Frustration and fear welled up, and I couldn't help but shout, "Who's there? What the hell is going on?"When no answer came, anger and panic welled up in me and I let out a cuss, "Whoever you are, show your fucking face and stop hiding in the dark! Why have you abducted me?!" I let out a scream but nothing came, Different thoughts began to run in my mind and the thought of my kids and Lucas immediately seeped
Catherine's POV. "You... What... What the fuck are you talking about Sam?" I asked, my eyes burning and my heart thumping fast against my ribcage. Am I safe to say I wasn't expecting this?"Oh sweet one, my little feisty darling, you don't understand the point of all these, do you?" He drawled and slowly began to head towards me, that devilish smugness still playing on his lips, My head reeled with different thoughts and deep within me, I was already thinking about what this whole thing could be about but I discarded it because I didn't think it was true, it couldn't be, Sam would never do something like that... Right? "What are you thinking about, my sweet whore?" His sentence made me shut my head towards him, my being a mixture of confusion and anger, "Don't you dare call me that name again, you piece of dung!" I huffed, eyes shooting dagger at him but he only cackled like some broken engine,"Woah, you know sweetheart, one thing that got me attracted to you in the first place i
Lucas's POV.I never thought this would happen again. Not for once in my life ever since I lost my wife did I think that someone dear to me would be kidnapped again. I've given up a lot for the safety of my family. I never want to lose someone again because of me."That brute! I'm gonna kill him once I get him. I don't care what anyone would think, but immediately I get that son of a bitch, I'm drilling a hole into his body," I mumbled angrily, fisted my hand, and banged it on the driver's seat."Calm down, boss. We'll get there soon. I've sent our men to take care of things as quietly as they can. They would get rid of those cheap hoodlums he had positioned to safeguard him," Marcos, my once-upon-a-time underboss, explained to me, but I wasn't anywhere near calm.I don't know what that silly boy was thinking, kidnapping my woman. He definitely has a death wish, and I'm gonna grant it to him. I don't care what the school authority, the police, or his father says about me letting justic
Catherine's POV.Lucas's comforting words drowned me in him, and all the fears I felt began to wash away. He held me tight and kept mumbling comforting words to my ear till I calmed down and disengaged from the hug."Are you alright, baby?" He asked, cupping my face and kissing my teared cheeks. "I'm... I think I'm fine, Lucas. Thank you so much for coming, I...""Shhh, I told you, I'll always protect you. I'm gonna deal with it later but for now..." He paused and turned to look at Sam, who was groaning in pain on the floor. "I'll have to teach this idiot a lesson for messing with my woman." He added and let go of me."Grab him and lay him on that table." He ordered in a cold voice that sent shivers down my spine.Marcos did as he was told, grabbing the screaming Sam and strapping him to the table. It's ironic how Sam's plan turned against him; he had planned to strap me to that table, but he ended up being strapped to the table.Lucas removed his suit and handed it over to Marcos be
Catherine's POV.‘Escort her to the car, Marcos.’ Lucas's order kept ringing in my head as Marcos led me outside. I still found it baffling that Lucas was a mafia leader. I shouldn't think too deeply about it, but it bothered me greatly, and I wished I could do something about it. The man saved me, leaving everything behind to come and save me, and what did I do in return? I provoked him.I wanted to murder Sam for everything he wanted to do to me and all that he had done. But I had said those things in the heat of anger, and I meant none of those words. I was just too angry. But seeing Lucas harming him, wanting to kill him, had made me fearful."Are you okay, Madame?" Marcos asked, and I just looked at the young man walking me out. Marcos and I weren't much of friends, but I wouldn't term us as enemies either. We talked and laughed sometimes, but most times, he wore a rigid mask, looking almost like he had no emotions. I now understand where all that comes from; he's an underboss to
