A smile spreads across Lucien's face as his mind dwells on the memories of his zealous days as a Falcon Regiment soldier in Foggy. He had fought and fought till he made it as the captain of the regiment. A rank he made not just by fighting but by breaking boundaries, breaking records, making history, instigating fear in enemies, defeating more than a thousand gangs, mending hearts, being a comforter and so much more. He wasn't just a captain of the regiment but a father, brother, friend, uncle, and most of all... A GOD! As captain, he climbed higher ladders and distinctively found his way into the headquarters to become who he is now, with all of the regiments at the tip of his finger. Despite this, he never stopped loving the Falcon Regiment in Foggy and mostly stayed there even though he was higher up. He loved the regiment with everything in him. Still does. It was, is, and will always be his home. A home he built a name for himself in; The ferocious, invincible, undefeatable
Mr. Corbin watches Lucien leave the company through the office surveillance camera and when he's certain Lucien is no longer there, he lets out a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding all along, and for several minutes his mind dwells on the words Lucien had just said to him before leaving. If anyone else had said those words he would have been making jest of the person by now but Lucien did and he knows his Master doesn't crack such expensive jokes so it only means that he said the truth. But how? For as long as he can remember the Villes not long ago became the wealthiest family in Virginia and still are so how can they pledge allegiance to him? Why would they do such a thing with all the power they have? And how can just him get them to do so? The Villes' history is well known throughout Virginia, but since he began searching he hasn't been able to find a clue of where Lucien is from, which means he is from another state or perhaps country so how can a stranger get the might
Unlike Mr. Corbin, who has a slew of fuck buddies, he was Clara's first and still is. Despite coming from a wealthy corrupt family, Clara had managed to train herself to be a decent lady. But her decency had been crushed the moment she laid eyes on Mr. Corbin. She had fallen head over heels in love with him on that very first day across the road. It was love at first sight. One she couldn't help. One that took away her self control. One that made her heart pant heavily against her chest and made her insides flutter. She shamelessly did everything she could to get close to him. It never mattered to her. All she knew was that she desired him and will surely have him no matter what. She was more like the guy while Mr. Corbin was the lady because she did almost everything; wooing, flirting, opening up herself, offering gifts and so much more. She was not just in love with him she got obsessed. He became the only thing she could think of. He became everything. Even when he wasn't
But despite the fact that she was in a shattered and broken state, she tried to attract his attention by doing something she felt she was certain he couldn't ignore.Something she felt she knew was appealing to him. Something she felt she knew he desired.She knew it was against her life principles. She knew what would happen if her parents and relatives found out she did such a disgusting and disrespectful thing; her position as a member of the family might be stripped off but she didn't give a fuck. All she cared about was getting Mr. Corbin back to her thighs and not letting him go.She was bent on making him hers and was going to do it at all costs. The first time she didn't care about whatever the consequences of her actions would be. She didn't need to anyway.She already knew what it was. Wasn't going to change her mind. It didn't bother her.The private section might indeed be private as the name implies but it was a bit revealing. Too revealing in fact. The securities behi
The fact that she could recognize his unsaved number on her phone with just a glance sparked her rage.She thought she'd forgotten about him. At least she felt so but when she realized that the smallest of things like a phone call that she had never valued for the past three years could cause the emotions she had buried deep within her since that day she left the club to surface, she came to the conclusion that she had been lying to herself all this while.She realized she never stopped loving him and he has been the one tormenting her dreams.She realized that her hatred for him for the past three years was merely a pretense to mask her feelings for him. It was now crystal clear.She despised the fact that she could still love him after everything he did to her. "But what exactly did he do to me?" She had immediately asked herself.As the question popped into her mind it brought back memories of the first day she met him.The day it all began.It was a cold but bright morning. A fi
Clara sniffles and wipes her tears away. It hurts her that she can still be affected by him in this way. It hurts her that she can still pick up his call and talk to him calmly instead of screaming at him and hanging up.It hurts her even more that he doesn't know that she once saved his life. Risked her life to do that. Almost lost her job and everything she has built for so many years.It hurts her so damn much. It makes her eyes teary and makes her heart ache.She pushes the rest of her memories aside before it once again takes over her, returns the phone to her ear, and exhales. "You should learn to be a little nicer, Corbin. I know we never dated and were just fuck buddies but it is wrong for you to always throw it at my face. Gosh, you make hating you so easy! By the way, why are you calling me? Or let me guess, you are sick and tired of your other pussies and have decided to return to your leftover?"Mr. Corbin lets out a sigh and ruffles his hair. He does know that what he did
But after hearing Clara's reply, he knows she is probably angry and the worst disappointed. He knows if he doesn't correct things quickly she might end the call and the last chance of him knowing if Lucien was telling the truth will be lost. He can't let that. He quickly ransacks his brain for a better excuse. Having known and felt Clara in deepest ways, he quite knows some things about her that no one else has an idea about. He just needs to hold on to one and use it to his advantage. He smiles as a thought finds its way to his mind. Clara has always hated boastful people, if he can make her believe that someone boasted to a certain crowd about being in control of their family, he is certain it will pique her interest and get her to tell him what he wants. He nods at the thought and hastily pulls the phone back to his ear. "I'm sorry I lied to you, Clara, I just didn't want to get you angry. I..." "What are you talking about? Can you just go straight to the point? I have impor
Her mouth drops open and her eyes widen as the words echo in her head, rendering her speechless. Her heart begins to race and her breathing becomes erratic.It takes her a long time to come to terms with what he just said to her. Despite the fact that it was so obvious, she still finds it difficult to believe he said that. She can't remember ever having the impression that he had feelings for her, so how come? How is it possible that he calls her after three years and suddenly tells her he loves her? Who does that?Have I started daydreaming again? Corbin doesn't love me! Like he openly despises me!Has my obsession for him gotten so strong to the extent that I now imagine him saying things he would never say to me?As those thoughts go through her mind her eyes become teary. It hurts her that her mind will be playing such a trick on her knowing how much she loves him.She lets the tears drop freely but just as the third falls she remembers the call didn't end. If I can ask him, I mi
