Lisa was so upset about how inconsiderate and uncaring Lucas was that she cancelled everything she had planned for her day off from work and drove back home after leaving Lucas's office. 'Such a scumbag. How did Isabelle put up with that attitude for that long?' "Ohh... I need to tell Isabelle. I wouldn't want her finding out from the wrong person." She felt a knot tie in her tummy at the thought of telling Isabelle. She knew Isabelle would understand that she was just looking out for her but she also knew that if she had asked her before going over to Lucas’s0ffice to confront him about his engagement, Isabelle would not have allowed to go. Isabelle was as sweet and as she was kind. Everyone who knew her was lucky to. However, her kind l, sweet and understanding nature made it easy for people to manipulate and walk a
"What are these?" Lucy asked, unable to mask her anger. She knew exactly what she was holding in her hands but prayed her thoughts were wrong. Mia was still processing what could anger Lucy that much and why she would storm in on her. Her eyes moved from Lucy's face that had turned furious red to her palms to see what she was holding with her hands stretched out. 'What the ....' her heart clenched at the sight of the pregnancy tests in Lucy's hands. 'These stupid servants can't do anything right,' she thought to herself as she stood, knowing that things had gone wrong. "Are you deaf and dumb all of the sudden, or are you just very stupid? I said and will not repeat my self, what the fuck are these?" She asked angrily, her veins popping out of her head in fury. "P_pre uhmm pregnancy tests." Mia finally managed to blurt out. "Do not.. Do not mess with me. You know better than to mess with me." Lucy shook angrily. "Do I look blind to you?" She asked still shaking. "Why the fuck
"Excuse me. Excuse me, ma'am." A lady came towards Lisa rushing in her heels.Lisa stopped and turned to see who was calling after her. "Yes?" She asked in annoyance. "Is there a problem?""I'm sorry, but who are you looking for?" She asked as she opened the day planner she was holding in her hands."Why are you asking me that?" Lisa crossed her hands."Well, you were walking towards the hallway with only the CEO's office in it. And that area is restricted for walk-in visits." The lady tried to explain politely. "My name is Pearl, Mr Archers assistant." She introduced herself."I am just trying to figure out who you are here to see so that I could direct you appropriately." Pearl added a smile."I am here to see Lucas Archer." Lisa responded sternly."Okay. Let me just check his schedule for your appointment." She flipped through her day planner. "What's your name and what time is your appointment with him?" Pearl o
Mia walked down the stairs, grinning, with a bunch of magazines in her hands. She had seen the pictures of her engagement to Lucas Archer almost a thousand times already, but to her, every time, it felt like the first. She opened the magazines every time someone called to congratulate her on her engagement to 'Mr Archer the Billionaire', and every time, she looked at her engagement ring. She called back the staff that had just served Lucy a cup of coffee as she took a seat and set the magazines on the couch next to where she sat. "Bring me a cup of tea," she held a finger up in the air towards the server, "and some biscuits too." and then waved him off. "Good morning?" Lucy asked Mia playfully with a grin on her face. "More than good." Mia shrieked. "This may just be the best morning I have ever had." She picked the magazines up and placed them on her laps. She held one up in the air, showing Lucy the cover page. "They referred to me as Mrs Archer in this one." She could not hi
Isabelle brought her car keys out of her purse. She turned towards Lisa and said goodbye. "What? No. Why would I let you drive alone in your state?" Lisa argued as she rubbed Isabelle's shoulder. "I'm coming with you." "I need some time to my self," She forced out the words. Talking was the last thing she wanted to do. She needed to think, to process what she had just seen, how it had happened, and how she felt about it all. "I understand, but please let me make sure you get home safe, and I will leave you alone if you still want me to. I promise." Lisa raised her pinky finger, hoping that some humour would help Isabelle feel better. Isabelle knew Lisa would not leave her alone no matter what she would say to try and convince her, and she was not in the mood to try, so she just nodded in agreement, and they both walked to her car. Lisa tried to talk to Isabelle during their drive back to Isabelle's apartment building, but Isabelle asked that they just drive their quietly.
Lucas woke up and sat at the edge of his bed. He let out a groan when he felt pain in his head as he tried to stretch his body. He buried his face into his palms as he tried to remember what had happened the previous night. All he could remember was arriving at his house and being pulled away from the crowd by his mother to get scolded about arriving at his own event late. As he was still trying to process the previous nights events, he felt movement in his bed behind him. He slowly looked back to see who he had shared his bed with and saw a naked Mia under his sheets. He let out a loud groan that woke her up from her slumber. "Good morning, Mr Archer," Mia said in what sounded like a purr. "Was last night not amazing? It was one of the best nights of my entire life, all thanks to Lucy.
***** "Thank you for bringing me out for brunch, I have been cooked up in my tiny apartment for days now." Isabelle gently grabbed Lisa's hand and gave it a tight, soft squeeze. They both giggled as they walked the curb that led to the restaurants entrance. They walked into the restaurant and found an empty table with two seats close to the restaurant's glass walls that gave a view of the street. "Perfect." Lisa exclaimed as she nodded her head in the direction of the table for Isabelle to look. They both walked towards the table and settled in sitting across each other. A waiter brought their menus to them and walked away when they asked to be excused for a few minutes while they decided on what to order. "Have you had a chance to speak to Marcus?" Lisa asked with concern. Isabelle had mentioned her intentions to call him but never told her how their conversation went. "Uhm.. No, not yet," Isabelle exhaled sharply, her eyes glued to the menu. "I wanted to call him yesterd
"I still can not believe he agreed to this, it-it still feels like a dream," Mia shrieked in excitement as she watched people walk into Lucas's house with decorations and other things meant for her engagement party to Lucas. "I told you not to worry. My son is a gentleman who takes pleasure in fulfilling his promises." Lucy said with a smile on her face. Mia walked closer to Lucy, almost skipping in her heels, "Can I hug you?" She fake pouted. Lucy took a few steps closer to her and then hugged her first. "After tonight, we will be family, and you will not have to ever ask for my permission to hug me." Lucy had been asking Isabelle while she was still married to her son Lucas when they would have a baby, Lucas had made it clear to Isabelle that he was not ready and dis not want to talk about it but Isabelle dis not te her that. Instead, she kept it to herself and never gave Lucy a response anytime she would ask. "You should go get ready, the party will begin in a few hour
"Lucy, I was not expecting you today." Lucas said sternly as he watched his mother close the door behind her after she had walked into his office abruptly. He sensed there was something wrong, Lucy had a hard time hiding what she felt or thought, and one could simply read her mood from her facial expressions. "I did not think I needed to notify anyone before coming to see my son," she responded, sarcasm laced in her tone. "That's not what I meant. Why are you here?" Lucas knew his mother as much as she knew him, and in that moment, he knew that she was not in the mood for small talk. "You are getting engaged. Tomorrow evening." Lucas tried to speak, but Lucy raised a hand to silence him. "Don't you know better than to interrupt me when I am speaking?" She scorfed. Lucas laid back in his chair as he crossed his hands and brought them to his chest, his lips touching, forming a straight line. "Good. As I was saying, you promised me that you would engage Mia and then offic
Isabelle woke up early in the morning, realising she had just spent the night on the couch. She sat up and stretched her neck while trying to figure out why she had just spent her night in the uncomfortable couch instead of her bed. She picked her phone up to check what time it was when she realised that she had been calling her husband Lucas before she fell asleep. "He hasn't called me back?" She said to herself while she ran her fingers through her curly hair as she always did since she was a little girl. "Where could you be Lucas?" In all the thirteen years they had been together, Lucas had never spent the night away from home without informing Isabelle about where he would be, this was new. Isabelle was worried that something could have happened to him. Something terrible. She had called his office the previous night but was informed that he had just left the building at the time, so she waited a few hours before calling his driver who had informed her that Lucas had insiste...
