"Yes, I did it! I did it! Yes!"Scarlet had not heard those words for several minutes now, but they linger in her mind.Richard said those words after Jack left, but before she could ask what they meant, he walked out on her.Since he left with that mischievous grin on his face, she has been thinking– really thinking about what made him say those words and why there was such a grin on his face when he walked out.As she sits on one of the couches in the private room clad in a thong and bra, she has been trying to compare things in a bid to get meaning for his statement but she has been coming out futile. Her brain is blank. She is blank.However, thinking about Richard's words is not the only thing in her mind right now, she is also concerned about Jack. She might not like him that much to be in a relationship with him but she does care about him. She has known him for a long time and at least has a
Scarlet breaks out in cold sweat, her mouth suddenly becoming dry even though there's a glass of vodka in between her fingers.She gulps and tilts her head, letting his words sink in. She only knew that Richard's wife died in a car wreck. Hearing him say what he just said is making her so nervous that her hands are suddenly sweaty. "What are you talking about, Richard? Your wife died in a car wreck," she says, finally mustering the courage to.Richard laughs out so loudly as if a maniac till tears form in the corner of his eyes. "Is that what you think? Is that what he fucking told you all?!" He bellows in between laughs.Scarlet places her hand on her chest and drifts away from him a little. His weirdness of bellowing through laughter is having a toll on her emotions. It's making her not know what to believe. Is he angry or happy?It is the first time she is seeing him laugh so much and although she does wants to enjoy the feeling of watching him laugh she can't even tell if the laug
"After I gathered all the details I needed, I didn't bother wasting time, I moved for the assassination. The earlier I killed him the earlier I returned to my wife forever. On the day I planned to kill him through a roof over his club, his GPS that I had secretly placed on his car suddenly moved, he was leaving. And he was doing it so speedily as if whatever he was leaving for couldn't wait. "I placed back my sniper rifle that I wanted to use, packed up my things, and followed him. "His car kept moving in a familiar direction. Although my wife had only sent me her address once, I memorized it and checked out every route leading towards it. He was moving toward the same address my wife gave to me. "My hands were clenched tightly on the steering wheel and my breathing was volatile as I hoped it was not what I was thinking. My wife wouldn't cheat on me. I gave her everything she wanted. She wouldn't. "That trust fell down the drain the moment he pulled over at the front of the same ho
Scarlet shudders and pats her sweaty palm over her aching chest. She stares straight into his eyes and tears dribble down her cheeks as she sees the seriousness in them. It is so clear that he will never back down till he gets what he wants and begging him to reconsider will just be a waste of saliva.She lifts her eyes to the roof and shakes her head, sighing in regret.Only if she had known this will be the outcome of her plan to kill Declan she wouldn't have ever made the mistake of trying to fulfill it.She now regrets ever harboring that thought in the first place, she regrets accepting it and picking up her phone to call Jack.She regrets walking through that entrance and everything that has followed after it.The forceful sex with Jack. The failure. The fight. And now, Richard's revenge.She regrets being a part of all this. She regrets accepting to take care of Juliet only to find out that Brianna tried to kill her.And most of it all, she regrets keeping all this from Lucien
Richard grins and relaxes for the first time since walking through that door. Never did he think that things will go this easily. He never imagined Scarlet would willingly allow him to touch her, and now he's about to fuck her without much effort. He doesn't know why it is making his lips stretch so widely and why it is making him feel so excited like one that just won a jackpot. Fucking his wife for all their years of courtship and marriage never gave him this kinda joy, it is making him freak out a bit. It is making his mind go wide, and such isn't making it easy for his dick as it is twitching in his pants, begging to be let loose. But he doesn't intend to behave selfishly this day, he doesn't intend to act as his wife had known him; quick and snappy. He intends to take it slow, he intends to make everything about this sex all about her. He is dedicating it to her. No matter how hard it gets this sex will be all about her not him. He will make love to her in a rhythm that
It's almost dusk. The clock is ticking and in less than thirty minutes it will be four on the dot. The sky is dimming. The day is at its ending hours. In a place like Richmond, VA, this is the time most families are in their respective homes, preparing for nighttime. But in one of the numerous rooms in a Villa on the outskirt of Richmond, VA, it is more like the dawn of the day as the lights shining over the room are enough to light up a whole street. The Villa is not that big as it is owned by a middle-class family but it does look attractive and with a glance, it will be known that the family is somewhat wealthy. The floor of the room is decorated with green pearl granite, the square-like structured wall is painted a mixture of pure white and milk, and all around are golden Prestige Royal Sofa Set, sparkling and glistening all over the room. At the center of the room, standing above 20ft tall and 10ft wide is a dragon tree– an attractive plant with green sword-like, red-edged
The man is taken aback by his butler's statement. He unconsciously takes two steps backward and narrows his eyes but chooses not to reply in haste and a fit of anger.He knows naturally that his butler's words are not ones to be played with or ignored without deep consideration.Chad has been working for his family before he was born. He has been part of the foundation of the family and has always contributed to every activity going on in the family.When he took over as the helmsman of the family, Chad was always there to assist and advise him on what to do and what not to do, how to do things, and how to approach every situation. Only with Chad's help did he manage to push the family to this height so Chad is not in any way a stranger. But that isn't why he was taken aback, Chad's history with them is part of it but not the main thing. In all the years he's known Chad and even before, Chad has never shown fear.No matter who the enemy is or what they do, Chad has never taken any o
Meanwhile, in a ward in Royal Glistening Hospital, crouching before Juliet, the young man Lucien Wood is oblivious of these numerous threats over his life. Not that he cares though, as an extraordinary man, he can already feel it in his veins that death is hovering over him and that in a matter of minutes blood will be everywhere.But then why should he be bothered? The death hovering around isn't his but those that would be so foolish to attack him! He is patiently waiting for them and his fingers are aching to snap some more coconut heads.Moreover, if these families don't keep attacking him how will he exert his dominance? Everything is just part of his plans in his eyes and heart and so he is more than enthusiastic as he sits and waits for them. They are just a bunch of zombies. He has no regard for them at all. No one in the whole world can move him. He is God! And God has no reason to be afraid of his subjects.If a God is afraid of his little subjects then what does that mak
As Lucien and Juliet walk through the door, into their room, Juliet bolts the door. The next second, she drops her nightgown.Lucien is backing her as he is trying to rid his body of his clothes. So, he is oblivious to this.Taking that as an opportunity, Juliet slowly frees herself of her panties and bra, standing in all her glory. It doesn't take long for her cheeks to flush red. For more than an hour now, she has been so aroused.Her mind couldn't stop flashing in her eyes what she and Lucien were doing before they noticed Brianna. The images got her so aroused. At a point, she began feeling helpless. In the space of two or three hours, she freshened up more than twelve times. Each time the urge was so much, she would rush into the bathroom and pour water on her body so she can calm down.But Lucien is here now. She doesn't know if she can wait any longer. No, she doesn't think she can. She slowly walks up to him at the same time Lucien is removing his pants and hugs him from behi
The ride to Dragon bay is a quick one as in the blink of an eye, the chauffeur pulls over in front of the gigantic gate, which appears to be glowing in the dark, making everywhere look so breathtaking."Wow," Brianna gasps whilst shivering in excitement. As soon as Lucien alights, she quickly follows him. But Lucien halts, causing her to groan. Her curiosity is at its zenith."You can leave now, Bryson, we will speak on the phone. Have a good night.""Alright, Mr. Wood. Have a good night's rest as well," Mr. Ethan replies reverently and taps his chauffeur who had been lost staring at the magnificent buildings behind the gate as if his life depended on them. "Let's go."The chauffeur snaps out of his reverie and nods, revising the car and zooming away.Lucien stares at the duty post of the old man from earlier and sees no one in it. Good, the man left. He then brings out his phone and dials Juliet's number."Honey," Juliet's sweet but tense voice sounds from the end of the line."Mi a
Brianna is perplexed. She furrows her brows as she asks, "How?"At this moment, before Declan can say anything, the car comes to a sudden halt and soft knocks are heard on the two glasses. Lucien unwinds one while Declan unwinds the other. It is the two Jacks and Tyler."You said you would be leaving for Washington, D.C. tomorrow, Mr. Wood, are we coming with you?" Tyler asks."Nope," Lucien doesn't waste a second shaking his head. "I'll be going with Declan alone. This is a family matter. Besides, as you guys know, it is Washington, D.C. that I'm going to this time, not some minor city around Richmond, your powers will be useless over there. Just enjoy your rest.""But this is also Washington, D.C., Mr. Wood, how would you survive over there alone if the Pearsons choose to attack? I heard they are one of the major families there.""It's a family in Washington, D.C., what can they possibly do to Lucien?" Declan retorts smugly. "You guys should just take a chill pill, we will meet you
Brianna is confused at Lucien's response to Declan. Of course, she knows who Ellison is but what she doesn't understand is what Ellison has done that Lucien plans to pay him a visit and seek an explanation. It should not be forgotten that Brianna was kidnapped before Ellison's men arrived to destroy the Mansion earlier so she has no idea that her family Mansion has been destroyed.She can only look at Lucien and asks, "What happened, Lucien? Why are you preparing to visit my dad's half-brother? What did he do this time?""It's like this," for several minutes, despite the fact that he wasn't the one asked, Declan takes his time to explain everything to her.By the time he is done, Brianna is not the only one boiling in rage, Nikki, Tyler, and the two Jacks can't also help the rage surging through them. Just like Brianna, they had no idea something of such happened before they left for East Highland Park. Hah! They are so shocked!"If the Mansion was destroyed, where then are we going
"This is the Douglas family Manor, what does what I'm doing here got to do with you?!" Brooks glares right back at Brianna and retorts coldly. It is safe to say that Brooks and Brianna share the same manner of animosity toward each other. Brooks is the reason the Pearsons ever fell. Brooks is the reason Juliet stabbed herself. Brooks also tried to kill Lucien.There's no how Brianna wouldn't hate someone who did all this. If she has her way, she would have ripped him to threads!On the other hand, Brianna was the only trump card Brooks had to get Lucien into his trap. He had also been salivating fucking her so many times till there was nothing more left to fuck.One could imagine how angry he is that all his plans have failed. And now, the same Brianna is questioning him? He wishes he can rip her useless tongue out of her mouth."Do you guys know each other?!" Seeing the grave animosity between the gent and lady, Ryan can't help but ask."Nah," after a while, Brianna shakes her head.
Muah!Muah!A soft sound echoes as Helen kisses Lucien's feet. The next moment, the Douglases also begin approaching Lucien one by one and kissing his feet. This goes on for more than twenty minutes before it finally comes to an end.Lucien is quite emotional. These people at the very last moment suddenly exalted him to the status of a God in their hearts. It's not something that happens often. A drop of tear slips from his eyes, silently dropping down to the floor."Lucien shed a tear," Declan gasps. The last time he saw Lucien shed a tear was when the young man Ares, told him about his parent's demise. Lucien hardly cries!He looks at the Douglases and says deeply, "You guys are damn lucky! You made Lucien shed a tear. Consider yourselves family from now on! Lucien would protect you all as a lion would his cub, as a father would his child, as a human being would his pupils, and as a God would his creatures!""Thank you, Mr. Wood! Thank you, Master!" The Douglases exclaim, so delig
All her life, Ava has always dreamed to live with and in power. It's not wrong to say she orchestrated everything. Yes, Hugo and Joseph used to be close brothers who were always there for each other. In the past, people who had no idea of their identity often mistook them for twins. This is because they wore identical clothes, went everywhere together, pursued the same type of girls, ate together, often bathed together, and were never seen apart.Even when Joseph became the helmsman, he never abandoned Hugo for one day, he always took him along and often asked for his advice before he made certain decisions for the family. It is safe to say that both of them ruled the family together without anyone knowing.But things began changing the moment Ava came into Hugo's life. She started planting evil seeds in him. Especially, when she found out that he and Joseph actually ruled the family together. At nights, when they were about sleep after lovemaking, she would begin telling him how goo
Brianna's face darkens. "Don't even think about it!" She snaps at Nikki, covers the remaining space between her and Declan, and takes his hand into hers. "He is mine! Go get yours!""I am yours?" Declan raises a brow at her. "Since when did I become yours?!""Ah, Mr. Declan, shouldn't you be happy?!" Helen eyes him up and down. "A few minutes ago, when you attacked Mr. Douglas, you had said he dared touch your woman. Just now, you were also apologizing to Ms. Brianna. From the look of things, you like her! Shouldn't you be happy she is accepting you?!""Uhm," Declan scratches his hair. That really happened. He definitely can't deny it."You really said I'm yours?" Brianna looks into his eyes and asks."I-" Declan nibbles on his lower lip. He actually said that to high his vigor so he would be able to attack Hugo. It's not like Brianna is actually his woman. They only had sex so how can she be his woman? He clearly lied!"I get it. You don't know what we are. But tell me, do you like m
"He has us in mind! See, he planned to pledge allegiance to Mr. Wood once he became the helmsman so he will lead the family to greater heights. He is just like his father. Selfless and always searching for every opportunity to move the family higher."A pity we listened to Hugo and Ava and killed him off with that accident. We even killed his baby mama. He was going to marry her that day and make her a real Douglas, therefore making Ryan a legitimate child! But we-" one of the elders, out of excitement, unconsciously blurts things he shouldn't have.By the time he regains himself and tries to shut his mouth, it's already too late! He had already dropped the bomb!"What?!" From the other end, Ryan who is still on the line, roars and jerks up, scaring the brunettes before him.He had always thought there was something off about the story of his parent's death Hugo told him when he was little. So he didn't think wrong all this time! His instincts never lied! Indeed, there is something of
