Lucien chuckles as he glances toward the waiter, not a bit moved by his tone of voice. "I guess I'm deaf then because I'm not leaving till I'm done." He says in finality and stares away from him relaxing even more. The waiter takes a step backward and curls up his brows at him taken aback by his reply. Is this man serious? He wonders and rushes out. He comes back almost immediately with a man who has a tag that says Fox restaurant supervisor and should be in his mid-forties and points at Lucien. "He is the pauper that refused to leave among all sir and is still adamant even after I asked him to. Should I call up the guards on him? People like him deserve to be treated like dogs because that's what they are." The supervisor sizes up Lucien and shakes his head. "Let me talk to him first. If he still refuses to leave then you can do as you please." He says and walks in front of Lucien. He smiles up a little and clears his throat. "Please sir, it's in our principles to make sure disting
Mr. Corbin's jaw slacks as he catches a glimpse of Lucien his Master with Mr. Ethan and he fixes his gaze on them his eyes so widened that one will think they want to fall off. For several minutes he stands there lacking at what to say or do. He indeed knows Lucien his Master to be wealthy but he never thought him wealthy enough to be sitting, laughing, and drinking with Ethan the second wealthiest man in Virginia. It leaves deep fresh questions in his mind. Who exactly is his Master? Did someone truly hand over the company to him as he made him believe or is it his own? What relationship does he have with Ethan and how did they even get to know each other? The way they gist and laugh it feels like they have been long-time friends but his Master just came back a few days ago so how come they can be rolling so well in just a short time? He gets so lost in the questions going on in his head that he doesn't notice when Lucien turns back, sights him, and waves at him to come over t
Mr. Corbin sighs and shakes his head. He had intended to tell his Master about it when they are all relaxed and as a surprise to him but Mr. Ethan just ruined everything by saying that. He can't help but clench his teeth a little. "I was going to tell you, Master." He puffs out his chest and says. "I was simply waiting for the right moment." "This is fantastic news." Lucien smiles, a grin spreading across his face. "It arrived just in time and has just made everything I have in mind easier. I need you to do something for me. Because it is so urgent you will treat it as such." "What is it, Master?" "Sorry to interrupt Mr. Wood but do you own Shadow Worldwide Company?" "It was given to my Master by an anonymous donor, so yes, my Master is the sole owner, and I'm his general manager." Mr. Corbin answers quickly before Lucien can, and Lucien relaxes back and snaps his mouth shut. "Oh," Mr. Ethan says, tilting his head. He doesn't believe that statement because, unlike Mr. Corbin, he
They form a circle around him and stretch their axes toward him, but just as they begin to approach him, they come to a halt, as if they just realized something, and their eyes dilate. "You walk? How?" One of them, as if knowing what the others are thinking, asks, and his pupils dilate even more. Lucien grins. "Your Master didn't tell you guys that, did he?" He sneers. Of course, he knows that Brooks doesn't know that he walks so how would he have told them? He just asked that to tease them. He had told Declan days ago that he has someone in mind that must have called those serial killers for him and also urged him to find out who anyway just so they will be sure. After much searching, it was discovered that Brooks had indeed sent them, albeit through his friend Ryder. He asked for their location after Declan told him that and just as he was talking to Mr. Ethan and Corbin the message came in. He is one who hates being trailed so he instantly decided to finish it off once and
His heart melts at the sight of her in such a position, and a stench of pain washes over him. He despises seeing her cry because it hurts him deeply. He tends to hold back when he knows it is him who is causing her to cry, but knowing that he isn't the one causing her tears now causes him to clench his fists and grit his teeth.It takes him a lot of control to hold back himself from getting up from that wheelchair and going as far as Forest Hills to make Brooks pay for causing his beloved tears. Only the thought of what he has already planned earlier with Mr. Ethan and Corbin seems to be holding him back right now as he knows definitely that everything will be taken care of once they do all he has told them to do.He takes a moment to collect himself before wheeling over to her and, against all odds, gently rubbing his hand through her soft silky hair.Juliet shivers and jerks her head up, her eyes bulging out, but she sighs and lowers her head when she realizes it's Lucien. She ha
His stare makes her feel uncomfortably uncomfortable. She's not sure why, but his deep blue eyes are making her feel so warm in this so cold environment. He's making her feel emotions she doesn't want to feel right now. "You talk so well like you have anything that can make Brooks freely do your bidding or do you think you will just say the word and he will do it?" she says, taking her mind off where it is going. She asks, dismissively.Lucien chuckles. He's not surprised she is part of those who think of him as a pauper but then he doesn't mind as long as he isn't what they think he is. "My word will not only make him do what I freely desire, but it will also make him shiver."Juliet bursts out laughing, causing tears to fall from her eyes. What does this man believe he is? She can't help but be curious."You can laugh all you want, but I've said it and I'll surely do it. I swear on your mother's head."Her laughter comes to a halt as she stares at him intently. His determination and
As he stares at the door she ran out of, Lucien is taken aback by her action. He slowly recalls what he might have done to deserve that and ruin their happy hot moment, and he can't help but curse himself as he realizes it is because of his last action. If he had known it would cause her to react the way she did, he would not have done it, he begins to regret his action. He is hurt not only because she pushed him off and slapped him, but also because the memories he has formed with her can make her cry instead of smile. It is more painful for him than his arching cheek and rock-hard dick. It hurts him terribly. He sighs exasperatedly, lowers his head, re-enters his wheelchair, and wheels himself out while stroking his arching cheek and wondering if she will ever forgive him. Despite his pain anyway, he has a gut feeling that if he can get to kiss her and do everything he did with her minutes ago, he is on his way to having her all to himself. As Juliet runs into her room in tea
Brooks can't help but wonder what Mr. Corbin is meeting him for and how crucial it is that he will come over at such an early hour as he comes out of the elevator leading to the bottom floor. It gives him a sense of pride he's never felt before. One he didn't feel even when he met the Pearsons for the first time. He just can't stop smiling; everybody who sees him will assume he's won a lottery, not realizing it's all because he's meeting with Mr. Corbin Connor, the country's number one general manager who other general managers and CEOS look up to. As he approaches Mr. Corbin, his smile grows even brighter. For him, it's all just like a dream– one he doesn't ever want to wake up from. "Hello, Mr. Corbin," he says quickly as he approaches him and extends his hand to him. "What do I owe this unexpected visit?" Mr. Corbin smiles back and accepts his extended hand. "Is this how you greet your visitors Brooks? Don't you at least take them in before you find out why they're here?" He asks
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
