The Pearsons are still going back and forth when they suddenly recall that they haven't heard a single word from the riffraff all this while. They turn to where Juliet wheeled him and there he is having a huge smirk on his face. They had thought he left already because they are bent on making Juliet push him away. "Missed me, Mrs. Avery?" He asks and smiles up at her. "Don't worry I'm here to stay." She scowls at him and clenches her fist. "Take this thing out of here Juliet! Now!" "I can't mum I'm sorry. Lucien will stay with us till he is ok." With that said she wheels him away leaving them to sort out themselves. Mrs. Avery is astonished and so are Brooks, Brianna, and Mr. Santiago. They can't believe that good-for-nothing can still have such an impact on their daughter. The Pearsons couldn't just fix out why the aura around him is so domineering even though he has nothing. Even though he's just a loser begging to stay in their mansion till he gets well. Brooks on his part was
Lucien simpered as he watched the different emotions on Mr. Santiago, Juliet, and Brianna's faces. He loves it when he makes them feel this way, he loves it when he affects them in such a way. He loves it when he leaves their hearts beating tremendously.He had not been interested in the news because he was the one who asked for it to be made news noticeable."There's a verdict on your head Sir. People will soon be looking for you. And the worst part is that there's a token on it. A huge token that I doubt anyone would ignore."He smiled as he listened to Declan's shivering voice and pursed his lips. "You talk like you don't know me Declan. I won't take that from you. If there's anything you should be afraid of that should be my words and if there's anyone you should be afraid of it will be me. No one else. Have you forgotten who I am so soon?""Of course, I haven't Sir. You are the fierce God of War. Our four-star General. Leader of the special forces, Alpha team, and so many others.
Brooks Miller stares at the fair silver-eyed dude sitting before him and ruffles his hair. He opens his mouth to talk but nothing is coming out. He is just dumbfounded as he could ever be.All he thought as he made that chat while talking with the Pearsons was to get the token up and with his actions get Lucien out of the mansion then someone will grab him and send him to the cops but now he lost in both ways.He just couldn't understand why the cops will be afraid of that thing. That riffraff.He is still in thought when the fair guy walks to him and squats. He taps him on the lap drawing his attention to him and gives him a lopsided grin. "Why is the Scion of the great Millers bothered?""You don't understand Ryder, that thing is getting on my nerves! Can you believe I..."Ryder as Brooks called him places a finger on his lips shutting him up and walks off.He comes back a few minutes later with two glasses of wine and hands one to Brooks.He sits down before him and takes a sip o
Lucien doesn't appear to be surprised to see Mr. Santiago. 'Old man must be trying to impress his wife' he laughs inwardly. Also, being the wealthiest man in the city it is normal for Mr. Santiago to be present. It shouldn't be surprising if Brooks Miller is also present. The bidding war is a way most of the rich folks flaunt their riches. It is a culture done more than thrice every year. "Can I go in now?" Lucien asks the guards drawing their attention back to him. They had totally left him to attend to the rich folks even after Mr. Santiago told them to let him in. It is somehow provoking him. The veins in his neck are throbbing and it is taking him a lot not to pull out his phone and get these two assholes sacked. Do they even know who he is? The guards turn to him and glare at him. They clench their fist daring him to make a move with their eyes. "But Mr. Santiago just asked you both to let me in." He does so well not to bark at them and maintains a cool timbre. Although he
Lucien smiles up at him for his act of benevolence but his smile only lasts for a second as he purses his lips in disappointment and tilts his head. "Do you think I don't have sufficient money, Bryson?"Mr. Ethan freezes at his choice of words and gulps. He has hoped to form a stronger bond with Lucien with his act of kindness but forgot that Lucien has never for once accepted a gift from him. Even though it hurt him he couldn't say a word regarding that. He knows Lucien is damn wealthy although he doesn't know to what extent and so "I'll be in the private room next to this Mr. Wood. Call me if you need anything. I'm sorry for bothering you and hope you enjoy your little stay here." He excuses himself cautiously. He wouldn't want to ruin his little connection with a man like Lucien Wood.Lucien watches him leave without any other word and soon the bidding war officially starts.A man walks to the podium and brings out all the pieces of jewelry and with each one he raises for the bidd
Mr. Ethan stands there wide-eyed at what he just experienced. Could it be that Lucien could be more wealthy than he and Santiago put together? This question feels his mind.He knows what Lucien does but what he doesn't understand is how just being a four-star general can give him all that wealth.Or could it be that Lucien has other things he is doing to get wealth? He wants to pick up his phone right now and call up Lucien but he knows as much as he is his friend there are boundaries he shouldn't cross else he loses what he never wants to lose.He wipes his sweat-filled face and cups his surprised state down a little bit hoping that perhaps someday he would get to know how Lucien gets his extremely huge wealth.A blink sound chimes dragging him out of his thoughts and he stares down at his phone on the table before him and picks it up.He unlocks it to see a new message and he clicks on it. His eyes widen at the content of the message and he unknowingly takes a step backward. He wip
Mr. Santiago is screaming at the top of his voice as if he has run mad. The whole floor is filled up with numerous things he has ended up shattering. His breathing is erratic and parts of his base knuckles are bleeding. His shirt is all soaked up and veins are throbbing in his neck."How could he take all I wanted! How could he!" He barks and ruffles his hair.Mrs. Avery is trying all she can to calm him down but he isn't giving her the chance to. He is lost in his rage. He pushes her off each time she comes near him."What's going on hubby?" She asks trying to hold back the tears that are tending to fall off her eyes but he ignores her and keeps on scattering all he is scattering.Juliet and Brianna are standing at the far end of the sitting room. They haven't seen their dad that way before and are not willing to go near him lest he pushes them off just as he is pushing Mrs. Avery and they end up hitting their head on the tiled floor. They can't risk that.The maids and guards too
He clenches his fist feeling like giving her a bit of what she wants but repeatedly cautions himself not to get physical with her because he knows if he is to get Juliet back then he has to tolerate everything her parents do."Blowing hot? Are you gonna hit me? C'mon then! Hit me! You're such a curse! And all you bring wherever you go is bad luck! That's the mere reason you are bent on making life hard for us instead of leaving asshole!""No need to take the words of this fool to heart darling, he is worthless." Mr. Santiago taps his wife on the shoulder and wipes the beads of sweat on her face. "Just relax, he won't be here for long. I'll make sure of that."'Of course, he won't.' Brooks smiles inwardly remembering his buddy's plan, and uses that to calm himself. He turns to Juliet and without her consent grabs hold of her hand.Juliet eyes him and tries to wiggle her hand out of his grip but he holds her tighter. The sight infuriates Lucien who hasn't yet recovered fully from Mrs.
