Stuck between the billionaires Chapter twenty-one
The maid soon finished with their job and left the room, leaving the duo behind in an uncomfortable silence. Phoebe changed into the nighties that were lying on the bed, convinced that they were kept for her. Her heart engaged in a series of stunts, as she felt the hot gaze of Lucas on her skin. She would be busted. She needed to leave this place and fast. She needed to save her child and herself from him. As she was still lost in thoughts, the door was thrown open revealing Lucas’s family, their expression a clear proof of their worry. “What happened?” His mother asked as they both ran to Phoebe, who stood rooted in her position. In their mist was also a man who looked to be in his late sixties, with his hair all grey. Around his neck was a stethoscope so it wasn’t hard identifying him as the doctor. “Sorry for having called you out this night. I need you to check on my fiancée to know what’s wrong with her,” Lucas diverted his attention to the doctor as soon as he caught a

Lucas paused on his way to the bathroom on hearing her request, turning till his gaze landed on her. He raised his eyebrow as she averted her eyes once they met with his. He immediately suspected some mischief. A few minutes ago she'd seemed scared to death as he sent for the doctor, her skin as white as snow and her eyes almost bulging out of their sockets. But now, she looked so relaxed, too relaxed even in her sick state to avoid raising suspicion. For one thing, he was certain both she and the doctor were hiding something. Why did she not want to see the doctor? Does she have some kind of disease? Fear surged through him as his subconscious reminded him that he'd slept with her without protection. If she was infected with any sexually transmitted disease, he was sure to have them too. Making a mental note to take her to the doctor once they got back to his house, he pulled himself back to reality. “Why?” he asked, studying her every move. She lay on the bed, fondling with

Phoebe’s eyes glistened with tears as she watched her almost successful mission crumble before her eyes. There she was again, back at zero. She brought her eyes back to the one person who she held responsible for her misery. Lucas Reid. What did she ever do to him? Why was he bent on stumping on her already shattered life, bringing it to more ruins? For all she knew, he was a devil who lacked the tiniest bit of compassion. “Where are you off to by this time and in such a hurry? Pretty,” he asked, the stupid smirk still glued to his face. His eyebrows were raised, and even though his voice sounded calm, Phoebe knew it was just a facade. He’s a monster and was only plotting the horrible things he would do to her for attempting to escape him. She felt a strong urge to slap the smirk off his face, the more she looked at him but she knew that wouldn’t spell out good for her. She couldn’t afford to make him angry, as her whole fate lay on his palm. He could kill her that minute if he want

“Where’s Lucas...Ermm your ‘young master’s Phoebe asked after they walked a few distance, breaking the comfortable silence the place once held. The woman didn’t notice the mocking sarcasm laced to her question, as she raised her head for the first time, blessing her with eyes Phoebe thought were pretty. Her eyes were soft, spreading into waves of sea blue and green, with long lashes that fluttered nonstop. “He stepped out for some issues but would be back in a while,” she replied, her hazel eyes dimming as they stole glances at Phoebe. Phoebe’s anxiety and also a bit of curiosity spiked upon hearing the woman’s reply. After her encounter with him the previous night, she had been restless wondering what his next move would be. The Lucas she’d come to know wasn’t an angel, so she would be really stupid if she thought he’d let her attempt at escaping him go unpunished. A part of her wanted him as far as he could be from her, but the second part wanted to see him so badly, at least

Phoebe’s heart thumped erratically as she crackled her brain for possible reasons for his foul mood that early morning. And before his mother too? For someone who'd asked that she behave herself? She'd been expecting his fury but had thought it would be once they got back to his house. If he'd wanted to engage In a fight with her in front of his family, why today and not the previous night after he'd caught her running away? As he approached the table, her heart escalated to a much faster. Sure to get a heart problem if it continued that way, she shut her eyes, taking deep breaths to steady the rate at which it banged against her chest. On reaching the table, while hoping that his mother and sister wouldn’t detect his bad mood, Lucas took Phoebe’s hand in his, nudging her to stand which she did wordlessly, much to his relief. It wouldn't have ended well if she'd chosen to be stubborn as was her middle name. “We would be heading back now,” he announced, as he saw Phoebe glance a

After he'd listened to Paul’s lecture on how building a family was just what he needed to heal completely for thirty whole minutes, he thanked him and saw him out of the house. On getting back to the house and sighting the woman still seated on the couch, with her head bowed, instant anger surged through him. So that was her secret, he scoffed inwardly as he approached her. But on second thoughts, he paused in his movement, retreated, and headed up to his room. He wouldn't want to indulge her with conversation now his mind was in a mess. But up in his room, he couldn't shake off the feeling that stayed with him ever since hearing she was pregnant and four months in. He'd slept with her only two nights ago. It only meant one thing, the bastard was responsible for her pregnancy. But for some reason, that realization didn't go down well with him as his mind conjured up scenes of the night of the conception. His blood boiled with rage as he conjured up Trevor Sanders, the only legitim

She held herself back from looking up, aware of who it was that had entered the room. She stared into the book, the words suddenly became blurry as she heard his footsteps which stopped just at the foot of the bed. From underneath her book, she saw the lower half of his body, his hairy legs shooting out of white shorts that had her thought drifting off to something impure. You can’t blame her though as who wouldn’t be attracted to the godlike creature? Of course, she would never admit that to him, but had it been they hadn’t met the way they did, she could easily see herself falling for him. Her face squeezed into a frown as she reprimanded herself for entertaining such thoughts. She closed her eyes, waiting for the fear to come but she felt nothing. Her curiosity perked and wanting to know why he hadn't said anything since he entered, she shifted the book away from her face to meet his on her. Only that they weren't focused on her eyes but on her thighs. She followed his eyes to

“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

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
