They don't understand this at all! Who does he think he is? Well, thinking about it in another way, they break out in wide smiles.If Lucien had chosen to accept Tyler, he would have become far more powerful than they had estimated and that wouldn't have been a good thing for them. But now that he was foolish enough to reject Tyler, they can still deal with him as they please! Hahaha, that is a good thing!As if Mr. Ethan can read the meaning to the smiles on the Douglases' faces, his face stretches into a deep frown and he walks up to Lucien, berating him softly, "Mr. Wood, why did you have to do this in the presence of the Douglases? We are trying to get Ms. Brianna for Christ's sake! "Don't you know the more trump cards you have, the more forced to the end of the wall they will be to release her? See, the Douglases already investigated you and knew we would all be joining you today, so must have been prepared to take on all of us, but they didn't know my brother Tyler would come
It's not that Lucien no longer cares about Brianna because he's agreed to let Declan have his way, but he's reached the end of his patience. He knows that because Hugo has all these men on his side and they are on his turf, he will believe that nothing can possibly happen to him, and that unless something does happen to him, his mindset will not change and they will just keep talking and talking with no results.Sending off Declan to rake everywhere is just to wet the grounds so that Hugo will know they are not afraid of him at all!Just as Lucien has in mind and as if a time bomb has just been ticked off, Declan moves, instantly darting toward Hugo, his aura coming out eerie and chilling.At the sight of this, Hugo's powerhouses from every dark angle immediately storm out and stand in front of Declan, blocking him from going any further!"Hmph! In your dreams to think you can stop me!" Declan snorts and slams right into the two powerhouses directly blocking him.BOOM!As his body cra
"Hahaha," Hugo laughs. "Punk, you should know who you are dealing with! Let me tell you, my boys with Brianna are watching everything happening here! If you as much as hurt a hair on my head then forget about her!"Declan freezes. His boys with Brianna are watching them? Really?He places a finger into his mouth as if in thoughts and after a while, snorts coldly. What a joke!How can his boys with Brianna be watching them when there's no single camera in this Manor? Hah! As if he knew this will happen, the first thing he checked when he walked into this Manor today was cameras and he saw none! He had frozen back there because he thought perhaps someone was videoing them somewhere, but when he placed his finger into his mouth just now and pretended to be in thoughts, he had discreetly looked around and there was nothing of such. What does this old man take him for? Hmph!"I told you you will receive a slap each time you answered wrongly. Here you go!" He raises his hand to slap him.
Helen's face turns extremely gloomy and she nibbles on her lower lip. Lucien had personally called her over and told her to massage him. It isn't her fault that she had her hands on him at all! It was all Lucien, not her!She should give this excuse. She should tell Nikki that she was only trying to offer Lucien her services as per his request.But if Nikki is truly Lucien's woman that he talked about, wouldn't that bring up a conflict between them? She thinks so because with how Nikki is raging right now, if she gives that excuse, there's a ninety percent possibility that she would misunderstand the situation and term it that Lucien is cheating on her.Women have never liked men who cheat and she's afraid this little quirk might end up breaking them up!With the way Lucien talked about his woman earlier, she can tell he loves her so much. If he then loses her over such a misunderstanding, wouldn't he feel so dejected and heartbroken? And might turn out to blame everything on her fo
A shiver runs down the burly figure's spine straight to his bone marrow. That voice! It belongs to Mr. Wood! Yes, he is sure of it!He gasps at that realization and instantly releases his grip on Helen. At the same time, he looks down at his leg to see what had held him back from moving and right there are Lucien's two fingers, clamping down on the ankle joint of his right leg!Just his two fingers! He shudders and looks down again just to be sure he saw right but the fingers are no longer there."Dick, right?" He abruptly feels an intoxicating aura behind him."Yes, yes," he speedily turns around and nods. The next moment, he drops to his knees and bows at Lucien's feet. "I didn't mean to provoke you, Mr. Wood!" He exclaims reverently."That is one of the reasons you are still alive right now. Get lost!" Lucien scowls.Dick nods and scampers away like a rat being hunted by a cat whilst shivering vehemently."What was the meaning of what you just did, Nikki Boden?" Lucien doesn't was
"You-" Nikki is so furious that she flushes beet red. "In your last statement, you said you are willing to let Mr. Wood fuck you if he wishes, doesn't that mean you accepted to massage him because you want him to take you to bed? What difference are we? You want to fuck him and I want to as well. So how are we any different from each other? How?!""We are very much different, Miss!" Helen snorts derisively. "And you got it all wrong, I only massaged Mr. Wood because he needed it and also because he said he would pay me handsomely! I never did it because I want him to take me to his bed! You know why?"Because Mr. Wood has a woman and except he willingly feels like cheating on her with me, I'll never harbor the thoughts of wanting to actualize my thoughts of having him! It's unlike you who despite knowing he has a woman still keeps throwing yourself at him. You are the one acting like the slut. I'm sorry to say!""Dick!" Nikki stands from the floor and hollers cold-bloodedly. "Get that
"Cat got your tongue? Or are you just pretending to be dumb now? Hmph! I swear, you won't want to get me started or taste my patience! If you know what is good for you, you should better call me that slut again let me hear! I'm waiting!" Nikki roars as Helen wouldn't answer her."I was angry," Helen sighs. "You referred to every lady in my family as sluts when you know nothing about us. I took it lying down because I thought you were Mr. Wood's woman. But when I realized you are just an admirer like me, I got really furious."You are not a slut. I only said that to get back at you. To be honest, I admire your courage to openly confess your feelings in front of all these people here, and do wish I had a little of your courage. All I'm trying to say is that I'm sorry. Please don't hurt me, ok? I'm so fragile," she batters her eyelashes at her."Don't do that," Nikki scowls, but not so hostilely anymore. What she does the next moment even shocks everyone! She breaks out in a wide smile,
"I'm sorry, Lucien! Everything will be done now!" Declan apologizes and bows. The next second, he casts a cold condescending stare at Hugo and asks sharply, "Where the hell is Brianna?! Don't provoke me any further!"Hugo doesn't answer Declan. He, instead, drifts his gaze to Brooks as he says, "Mr. Miller, Ms. Boden here is from your city. Since your family is the wealthiest in Forest Hills, I hope it will be a piece of cake for you to take care of her while I take care of the rest!""That-" Brooks lowers his head. If it were yesterday, this wouldn't have been a problem at all. But now, they have been reduced to nothing in Forest Hills. How can he possibly fight against Nikki? If he tries it, he will be going to a dead end!"Hahaha!" At this moment, Nikki laughs out loud. "Old fart," she hisses. "You want this dog to take care of me? How can he do that?!""What do you mean?" Hugo tilts his brows disconcertingly. "Oh, I guess he didn't tell you!" Nikki giggles. "Perhaps, he didn't b
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
