Juliet's car speeds on the highway as she drives heading straight for the hospital Lucien is being admitted in. She blinks her eyes hard, trying to stop the tears which are threatening to fall. Her whole sight is blurry due to the tears forming in her eyes. She keeps driving nonstop, heading to one of the local hospitals in the city, 'City Hospital.' Only a few minutes have passed, but she feels like it is taking forever to reach her destination. After driving for some more minutes, she finally spots the gate of the large hospital a few meters away from her. 'City Hospital' is the name written on the signboard and Juliet's car speeds through the gate without even stopping. Hundreds of reporters all stand in front of City Hospital shouting and yelling out tons of questions as they struggle to pass through. The hospital's security tries their best to hold back the hungry reporters. One of the paparazzi suddenly turns around as he sees a red Ferrari driving very fast towards the
Juliet sits there, staring at Lucien who still hasn't regained consciousness. She can't explain how she feels after seeing him in this condition. Tears slowly start dropping from her eyes as she cries silently. No words left her mouth as she sits there, just looking at Lucien. He has an oxygen mask on as he lay there, unmoving. His once handsome face is now covered in so many cuts and bruises. She takes his hand and starts to caress it. "Wake up please" are the stupid words that have to come out of her mouth first. She sits there in silence after the word not knowing what else to say. "I'm sorry for all I said and did, please wake up Lucien," she says softly. "I never meant any of it. I don't want you to leave me again" she mumbles the last part lowly. "Do you have any idea what I had to go through after you left? I lost all my purpose of living after I lost you, Lucien. You were my life and I felt like I had died." "I tried killing myself many times. I had always wondered h
"What!" Her voice cuts across the room as she stands up from her seat. "How is that possible?" She asks looking at the doctor before her. Juliet is currently sitting at the doctor's office. Out of worry, she had gone to inquire about Lucien who still hasn't regained consciousness. The doctor had said to just wait and see what happens as no one knows when he would wake up. "Yes miss Pearson, he's sustained severe injuries already. I must say it's a miracle seeing someone had actually survived after falling from such a height even for we the doctors" The doctor on duty says looking up at her. "Even though Mr. Wood had managed to survive, he had still sustained multiple internal injuries." "I'm sorry but his legs have been badly affected due to the impact of the fall and now because of that I don't think he could afford to even stand on his feet ever again, talk more of walking. We could also be wrong though so we just have to wait for Mr. Wood to regain consciousness." He drops th
Juliet exits Lucien's ward after she sees he is still unconscious. She had already made some plans with the doctor about what to do when he eventually regains consciousness. She decides to go home and freshen up a little before returning later. Her eyes are all red from crying and her silky strawberry blonde hair is a mess. She sighs as she wonders how she'll be able to leave like that with the horde of reporters in the hospital's front. They'll just make a huge fuss about everything. She looks around in surprise when she walks out of the hospital and sees everywhere empty. There is no sign of even a single reporter. She thanks her stars, hurries into her car, and zooms off. After almost an hour of driving, she arrives at the Pearsons mansion. She packs her car and steps out, walking into her home. Her whole body feels very sore. She hadn't had even an ounce of sleep after what had happened. She looks around the mansion, she couldn't see even a single paparazzi lurking arou
The two sisters don't say a single word to each other as they head upstairs. Brianna too is angry with her sister for what had happened but she dares not open her mouth to talk seeing that Juliet is already red with anger. She can tell Juliet is not in a good mood right now and she doesn't want to get on her sister's bad book. Brianna keeps her thoughts to herself and silently follows Juliet as they walk through the large hallway. After passing numerous rooms, they finally arrive at Juliets. Juliet steps in first. Brianna is about to put her foot in the room when Juliet's cold voice reaches her ears. "I want to be alone" Juliet mumbles dismissing her younger sister. "But Juli..." "Get Out!" She cuts her off harshly. Brianna opens her mouth to say something again but thinks otherwise. She glares at her sister, stamps her foot, turns and starts for her room leaving Juliet behind. Juliet bangs the door and walks into the room breathing heavily. She grudgingly sits on her bed
Mrs. Avery majestically walks towards her daughter, her heels making a soft clinking sound against the marble-tiled floor. "I gave them the orders not to let you out no matter what happens" she sneers and stops right in front of Juliet. "I won't let you go see that filthy brat Juliet. He does not deserve you, can't you see!" She stamps her foot roughly almost injuring herself. "I refuse to allow you to disgrace this family any further." "I won't let the Pearson family's name be dragged through the mud because of that useless nobody called Lucien Wood!" Her determined voice booms for all to hear. The guards all shift uncomfortably as they try to look for a way to run away. No one wants to be in the middle of the fuel moment between mum and daughter. "Mum, you have no right to stop me from leaving my own house!" Juliet states coldly. Mrs. Avery's eyes narrow dangerously and she steps forward. The next thing Mrs. Avery does is something no one had ever expected. A slap lands on Ju
"Listen very carefully to what I'm about to say" Mr. Santiago is seen standing on his balcony, his phone tightly placed on his ear. His other hand grips the railings tightly as he speaks to someone over the phone. "I want this job done by tonight..." "I don't want any mistakes..." "I'll pay you triple the amount you asked for... " "Just make sure you finish off that wretched fool once and for all this time..." Mr. Santiago hums in satisfaction over what the other person replies. Mrs. Avery comes inside the room at this moment holding two cups of steaming hot coffee. She walks over to the balcony and sees her husband making a call there. "Coffee?" She half whispers as she reaches him. Mr. Santiago quickly nods and she hands over a cup to him. "Yes, I'll be waiting for the news," he says and ends the call. "What news darling?" Mrs. Avery asks and her brows pinch together. "The news of Lucien Wood's death" he replies and takes a sip of his coffee. "I've hired someone to finis
Juliet doesn't even know for how long she's been sitting alone, in the same position and the same place. Maybe it has been a minute? Two minutes? An hour? Two hours? Or perhaps several hours have even passed by? She just doesn't know. She can't really tell because her eyes have swollen up from all the crying crying and crying. Ever since the men locked her up and she crumbled down on the floor, she has not even made a move to get up. Juliet can hear her phone ringing again. The stupid phone has been ringing non-stop for as long as she can remember now. Yet she didn't even make an attempt to take a look at it. Juliet feels like her whole world has come crashing down in just these past few days. The wall she had suffered to build-up for years has come crashing down without any mercy. It was utterly useless now. Slowly, she curls up on the cold floor. Her heart feels cold and numb just like the floor. More tears slowly start making their way to her eyes as they drop down her c
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
