Stuck between the billionaires Chapter twenty-eight
“W-what are you doing?” she asked but it came out in a whisper, barely audible even to her hearing as Lucas exhaled a contented breath, pulling her closer to himself. And she didn't miss the hard bulge poking at her ass cheek. His hands caressed her arm, making her jump to her feet but she was pulled back to the bed almost immediately. Brushing his thump finger against her breast, a tingling sensation crept up her spine with her biting hard on her inner lip to prevent herself from giving any encouraging sounds. Her heart banged hard in her chest with fury but her body seemed to have a mind of its own, as it enjoyed his hands which he trailed his finger down her belly. Her mind was on the same page with her body, wishing that he continued. But a little amount of her sanity was still intact. “Open up,” he ordered when he noticed her shut her legs to avoid him gaining entrance. She turned to look at him, her teary eyes glaring at him with so much hate, but he paid no attention to t

Lucas hurried back to his room, banging the door as soon as he entered, as his mind registered the pain he felt. He walked to the mirror and squeezed his face at the ugly view, her teeth mark gazing back at him. How dare she do that to him?” he wondered as he rubbed on it. Adam came in minutes later with the items he had asked for, dropping them on the bed beside him. “It's very deep, don't you think seeing the doctor would be a much better idea?” he asked as he picked up the plaster, volunteering to help his boss but Lucas snatched it away from him, before averting his gaze wordlessly. For one thing, he was aware Adam knew how he'd ended up with the injury as her teeth had left very obvious marks. He was already more than ashamed of him(Adam) knowing about it, to let another eye see it. He knew he needed medical attention, but he couldn't get another person to see him in that condition. “More like to check if it had been infected,” Adam continued, worry etched on his face. But

Lucas’s face squeezed in distaste as soon as he closed the door. He stood rooted at his position, as his heart began thumping hard against his chest, threatening to break out of his chest and render him lifeless. Nostalgia hit him as he stared down the stairs, feeling the exact way he’d felt seven years ago. What was she doing in his house? He wondered as he forced himself to move, his legs suddenly feeling like rocks had been tied to them and a magnet propelled them backward. As much as a second thought asked that he order Adam to throw her out of the house, a second part of him wanted to at least see her face, and hear what she had to say. Resisting the urge to run away from his past, he walked down the stairs. His eyes quickly locked with the blue ones of the blonde he’d once loved with his whole life. But instead of the usual sparkle they held at the sight of her, was replaced with spite and anger. Memories flashed through his mind as he watched her stand from the couch, his g

Phoebe stared at the door in disbelief, as she wondered if she was in some kind of dream. Did he just ask that she abort her child? All for what? Just to prove to him that she wasn’t working together with Trevor. He must be out of his mind. She thought as she got up from the bed and went to the bathroom for a quick leak. But on returning, her mind diverted to the woman who Adam had made mention of. She was grateful to her for coming at the right time and stealing his attention, as she had no idea what he would have done next if he hadn't been interrupted. She wasn't clueless as to who she was as the way Lucas's face changed at the mention of her name said it all. She was about to climb back onto her bed, but curiosity took the better part of her as she quietly opened the door to eavesdrop on Lucas’s conversation. She couldn’t hear everything they said from the top of the stairs but with the woman on the floor and Lucas towering above her, had her wanting to know more. Walking as

“Hey, stop,” She could hear Adam’s voice behind, as he followed her in a hot pursuit. It only made her increase her pace, running like her whole life depended on it. “It technically does,” her subconscious reminded. Her legs were beginning to hurt and to make matters worse, she had no idea of where she was at the moment or where she was running to. She would think about that later. The most important thing was that she got away from here, she would think of the next step once she was in a safer place. As she ran, her mind wondered where his bodyguards might have gone, as she hadn't seen any of them with only Adam chasing her, but she brushed it off as the universe working in her favor. “Thank God,” she said as she sighted a busy street ahead with people walking to and fro, minding their business. She looked back to see that Adam was still pursuing her but he had reduced in his pace. She apologized inwardly for stressing him as she soon got lost in the crowd. She stared back

Phoebe glanced up to see that it was the elderly woman who was seated beside her, her brows knitting in confusion as she wondered why she was helping her. The owner of the restaurant paused in his speech as her eyes darted to the old woman in surprise. She must've thought it not to be her business, as she asked her waitress the amount Phoebe owed. “It's 20 dollars.” And like that, the woman paid the bill. Phoebe mumbled a ‘thanks’ to the woman but she waved it off. “It's nothing,” she said as she began to pack her stuff into a black bag. After she was done, surprised to still find Phoebe there, she asked. “Don’t you have anywhere to stay? You can come with me.” Phoebe was surprised at her question, wondering if she had heard right. Was she asking that she, a stranger follow her to her house? But she didn't voice her opinion, as she nodded slowly. “I stay alone, you can come stay for a while till you find a place for yourself,” the woman offered to Phoebe’s utmost surpri

After she was done explaining her story, Mrs. Gladys exhaled a breath as she caressed Phoebe’s hand. “It's fine now. You are safe now.” “You know,” she continued, staring at her kitchen counter, “I have a daughter…had…God bless her soul, She died last year in a car accident leaving me to cater for these beautiful cats. She loved them so much,” A smile clouded her exterior as she pointed at the cats that lay lazily on the floor. “I'm sorry about that,” Phoebe apologized, unsure about why she was telling her life history. “It's okay.” “Just like the baby you are carrying now, I never planned for her. The father, my high school boyfriend disappeared on figuring out that I was pregnant. After searching fruitlessly for him for months, I finally gave up. I resented my unborn child for its father’s mistake, each morning sickness, and every throw-up only added to my resentment. But that child happened to be the reason I am alive today.” “What I am trying to say is, that child in your

Once inside the cab, she fished out her phone from her purse and dialed her friend’s number. It rang for some time before she picked up, her cheeky voice sailing through the speakers. “Hey, Pheebs. I called early but Gladys said you were still in bed. Your father, he'd wanted to have a word with you.” “Okay, I woke up late. How is he doing?” “You know how he can be sometimes. He grumbled for a while after I had told him he couldn't speak to you before he slept. I am currently at work now, I would check with him in the evening once I sign out of work. “Annie, I want to thank you for how you have been taking care of him since my absence. I really…..” “Don’t even start now. He's my father too and I am just doing what a daughter should. I don't need to start reminding you of all the favors he's done for me,” Annie interrupted, her cheeky tone becoming somewhat serious. “Forget about us, how are you doing? Hope you are recovering from the trauma that the sick human being had put

A surge of emotions filled Phoebe as she stared at the man, his strong finger on her lips and his eyes stripping her of her clothes. She could see the fright that lingered in the depth of those eyes, as he waited for her reply. She knew exactly the way he felt as her heart was also engaging in crazy stunts. “Before you say anything, I would love for you to hear what I have to say,” Lucad finally said after some time, his voice having a croaky edge to it and his eyes, teary. He looked away from her and Phoebe was sure it was to prevent her from seeing his tears. “It was never expected,” his hands left her lips and cupped her face as he spoke. He stared into her eyes, hoping that she would see how desperate he was for her, he wished she would see how much he loved her and wanted her for himself. “I love you, Phoebe. I know you are tired of hearing me say this by now but I wouldn't stop saying it. Even if you were to reject me, it wouldn't change anything. It would hurt me real bad

After she'd taken her bath and was done with her morning routine, Phoebe laid down on her bed with a new novel she wanted to read. She read the synopsis and as the book promised an adventurous journey, she delved right in, inhaling the delicious scent of the new book. Her day revolved around reading books, eating, and sleeping for the past week. After she'd confided in Marcy and heard what she had to say regarding Lucad and herself, she had decided to talk to Mrs. Gladys and Annie, telling them about the turmoil she was facing and also seeking their advice. While Mrs. Gladys had been happy for her, telling her to follow her heart and chase what makes her happy, Annie had been very unpleased with the situation, as she insisted that Lucas had finally trapped her in his webs of deception. Annie thought Lucas needed her and also her child in his plot to exact his revenge. For someone who had kidnapped her for the sole purpose of that and had held on to hate for the past eight years, it

Phoebe picked up a flower in the garden and inhaled it, letting the sweet scent take her mind away from the crazy stunts that her mind engaged itself in. She couldn't love Lucas, not with all that was at stake’ her mind kept warning her, but it did nothing to help as it felt like there was a stronger force somewhere that hauled her towards him. She knew the best thing to do was to leave his house and stay with Mrs.Gladys as loving him would only spell doom for her. Yet it was so hard for her to take that step or even think about it. What about his crazy ex who threatened to make your life miserable if she came an inch close to him? What if all he said turns out to be a lie? What if he was seeking revenge? What would you do if he abuses your child the way he did you,” The voice in her head kept saying, making her wrap both hands over her ears to prevent her from hearing the voice. As much as everything in her told her that she should avoid him as it spelled more danger than go

Phoebe sat on the swing at the garden with a book in her hand which she glanced at from time to time as she tried to concentrate but her mind seemed to be on a different mission. After trying a little more, she finally gave up and began to walk around the garden allowing her thoughts to lead her. She'd just concluded her check up with the doctor who told her that both her and her child were safe and away from danger. After her little discussion with Marcy few days ago, Phoebe got into an internal conflict as she fought with herself against the way she’d started to feel of recent. Even though she had no answer to give Marcy after she'd asked her that question, but in the dept of her heart, she knew the truth but was still in denial. But all her walls came crashing down after her appointment with her doctor. “No, he can't love me? I cannot love him,” she mumbled to herself as she walked around in circles, inhaling the beautiful scents of the flowers. She glanced back to the white

Phoebe’s exterior softened on hearing him become vulnerable in front of her. She'd still not gotten used to him being that way. A tear slid down from her face as she watched as he forcefully swallowed down saliva. Guilt f hit her as she realized that she hadn't fully forgiven him and was still judging him based on mistakes of his past. Now, as she thought about it, it made more sense as to how he'd jumped in and saved her. Because to Ella, she was his fiancee, and saying that she was pregnant with another man’s child was like her saying she cheated on her brother with another man. As Phoebe thought about all of that, her arms subconsciously circled around the neck of the handsome man who was bent in front of her, pulling him in for a hug. She held him tightly to herself, wanting to take away the pain or atleast half the pain of what he felt. Lucas’s body stiffened as he'd been taken by surprise. He tried raising his head to catch a glimpse of her face but he couldn't as the hug w

Phoebe was surprised as she turned back to see Lucas strolling towards her, his strides purposeful and his eyes darkened with something she couldn't pinpoint. She gulped down saliva as she felt the words she’d wanted to say grasp her throat. What was he up to? She wondered as he approached, his facial features not giving out any hints. But his eyes…they said a lot. As if the drama his sister had just played wasn't enough, there he was wanting to add to it. Her initial fury at him dispersed into thin air and in its place, a feeling she couldn't explain. Her heart jumped with anticipation and fright but in a good way. Instinctively, she began to move backward, the frown dispersing from her face and worry clouding her features. Was he wanting to play along with his sister's game? She was certain that he was up to something. Lucas kept moving towards her, deriving pleasure in the way she reacted with every step he took towards her. What was going through her mind? He wondered as he k

After they had finished with their meal, they strolled around for sightseeing before they finally decided to head home as it was well into the day and the sun was now at its peak. They got home to learn that Lucas was working from home that day and had been in his home office since they left. As much as Phoebe needed answers to her questions, she knew she had to wait as he was busy. But as she walked up to her room with the intent of freshening up and reading a novel till he was done, Tracy pulled her with her as she headed towards Lucas’s office. She gave her questioning glance to know what she was up to, but having learned a few things from Tracy, she knew her to be up to mischief whenever she had that sinister smile on and her eyes glinted like they were now, she knew she was up to go good. “Let me go freshen up, i sweated so much today,” Phoebe said in an attempt to get off Tracy’s hook but it didnt work as she only tightened her grip on her hand. “Let’s just say hello to hi

Stevie broke into a laughter that didn't reach his eyes as he gave Phoebe one last stare before she outstretched her hand in a very funny way. “Well, it's a good thing to have come here as Stevie’s collection is just what what you need,” Stevie said as she switched to business mode, the unreadable expression on her face finally gone. With that, she clapped her hands and half dozen og her employees circled her. “Baby clothes, the best pieces,” she ordered as they glanced amongst themselves before they dispersed into different corners of the room, Stevia included. All the while they engaged in the conversation, Phoebe felt bodily present but absent-minded as she kept thinking of how deep a problem Lycas’s little lie would cause in the future. It was obvious they wouldn't be able to keep up with the lie as she would leave once she’d given birth to her child. What then would he tell his family? That she'd broken up with him and ran away with his child? That the child turned out to be
