The Villes have never been scared of anybody in all the past years they've lived in Virginia but the young man's voice alone causes them to shiver and take unexpected steps backward. Without knowing who he is, they begin to wonder if they have offended a big shot, but as their gaze settles on the young man before them who exudes a terrifying aura, they swallow lumps of spittle but yet do not regard him. They have always rated big shots by their appearances but this young man before them although scary is just on faded olden days jeans and a worn-off top. To them, this punk here can't be a big shot. As far as they are concerned, he might even be a beggar.Why then did we get scared of him when he is dressed in tattered clothes? And how the hell did he get in? Are our bodyguards blind now that they allow mad men into our Villa now? They can't help but be curious.The Villes Villa has always been guided by a number of top-class elite fighters, so the fact that this young man before the
The entire Villes, including Aston, who is still on the floor, turn as pale as sheets at what they have just witnessed. If they hadn't been in this room when it happened, they wouldn't have believed it if someone else told them, but they saw it with their own eyes. Although they have witnessed numerous fights this act of Lucien is something they feel can only be seen in movies! The fact that he just did such an extraordinary thing with so much ease as if there are more where that came from is making their breathing hitch and their legs wobble. And the most surprising part of it all? He is still as composed as ever as if he wasn't the one who just did it! He just flipped his finger as everyone else does and that kind of a thing happened! What manner of man is he? They can't help but silently wonder. Of course, what Lucien just did is out of the ordinary, so it's no surprise that it has such a great impact on them. After all, he isn't ordinary and as such he doesn't do ordinary thi
Lucien has never been a guy of so many words. A word from his lips in front of his men back then in Foggy is considered golden.He has always been one who keeps to himself and is always in his thoughts.If it were just about him that he always thought about then it would have been a bit considerable but all he thought about back then was Juliet; did she marry another man after he ran away? How is she faring now? Has she moved on already or is she still sulking?Is she still in control of her company? Is she missing him so much?Does she hate him now? If he comes back will she accept him back?Are her parents safe?How is Brianna doing? Hope she is safe.For a man who was insulted, laughed at, and pushed away the day he thought was the day he was finally going to make the love of his life his by her family he still managed to think about them selflessly and wish them well.He can vividly remember the incidents that happened that day as if they happened yesterday. It never leaves his mi
Lucien's pupils dilated and his jaw dropped. He couldn't figure out why she was mad at him. He has heard so many terrible things about her, including how she favors the wealthy and despises the poor.He has also heard she is one who loved bullying the weak just to show off her strength but yet fear the strong. Is that what she is doing?Is she showing off her strength to make me feel oppressed? Is that why she is suddenly angry at me? Or is she just trying to provoke me?I didn't ask her for money then why is she offering me money? Did she really think that I'm a mere beggar? Does it mean that she too doesn't know who I am? Perhaps she doesn't because if she did she won't have said that they are expecting a distinguished guest I am not worthy to see when as a matter of fact I'm the guest they are waiting for.Could it be that Juliet didn't just hide me from Brianna but from her parents too? A sour taste had crept into his mouth at the feeling of not being known by his soon-to-be in
Juliet was the type of person who would never raise her hand against anyone, no matter what the situation was. That is how greatly softhearted she is. As a matter of fact, she rarely got angry.But she had gotten angry and even raised her hand to hit Brianna in just a matter of seconds.Her actions surprised not only Brianna but also her parents and Lucien.That was the first time he was seeing her in such a mood and it was all because of him.He didn't know if to be angry, sad, or happy. He got stuck in mixed feelings.It took Juliet several minutes to calm down and immediately she did she turned to Lucien with a tender gaze. "Does it hurt, baby?" She asked softly as she slowly touched the cut on his lips. It was so deep then.Baby? Did she just call him baby? Could it be? Mrs. Avery and Brianna's jaws dropped as they realized that the young man they just did all that to was none other than Juliet's lover!It was then they understood her actions but even after knowing who he was, th
Those words sounded like nuclear bombs to Lucien's ears. His heart skipped a beat and everything seemed to come to a halt.He can't have the only lady he has come to love with everything in him? The lady who meant everything to him?The lady who accepted him and gave him all he ever wanted without asking for anything in return?The lady who loved him selflessly without an ounce of care that he was just a nobody? How is he going to take that? How is he going to survive without her? No, her dad must be joking!For the first time in his life, he began rubbing his ears severally just hoping that he didn't just hear well and was only imagining it but the more he tried to make himself believe that he just imagined those words the clearer it became to him that her dad did say those words to him. And from the tone of his voice, he meant every word of it."No, no," he shook his head and looked up at the man who just said such a thing. Without thinking about the consequences he gently pushed
Mr. Norman and Aston, who are standing right in front of him, gasp in horror and turn as pale as a sheet when their eyes are drawn to the obvious palm print on the table.They stagger backward, swallowing spittle lumps. As they look up to stare at Lucien, who is still as calm as ever, their hearts skip a beat and they immediately look away."Call the guards! Let them report here now!" Mr. Norman screams at the top of his lungs, looking as if he had just seen a ghost.Lucien sneers. "If there is still a competent guard outside, I must have missed him because the ones I saw on my way here each had lost one of their hands and legs. So, who are you requesting for?"Mr. Norman chuckles and rolls his eyes despite the fact that he is scared out of his wits. "You're such a haughty punk who loves throwing his weight around! So you want to tell me that you alone defeated more than a hundred of my men in just a few minutes?""In less than a second," Lucien corrects him with a smile. "They're jus
"You have no right to lay your filthy hands on my grandson! You're going way overboard punk! I am Norman Baskerville the helmsman of the Villes and with the snap of my finger, I can crush you! You will not dare to provoke me!" Mr. Norman who just recovered from the shock of seeing Lucien vanish from his seat screams through gritted teeth, attempting to be bold.But what he doesn't realize is that Lucien can sense his fear. For a man with sharp senses like his, he can sense the emotions of everyone in the room. Some are excited, some are curious, some are sad, some are terrified, and the last are those who have no feelings and have no desire to be where they are. Perhaps they are present because others are, and no one can defy the orders of the helmsman.He shrugs their feelings away as that is not his problem now, turns back to stare at Aston who is almost losing his sanity and lets out a dry chuckle. "Even though you hit my soon-to-be inlaws until they became unconscious, I wanted
