Lucy.Sleeping in Mr. Christian room was something I couldn't dare to do.Such a tempting gesture. There was no way I could stay back.Though I really wanted to, self discipline sometimes was the best. I was not the type to sleep next to a gorgeous man and wake sane the next morning. Then what would happen?He would bring some stories of me seducing him and so on.Given all the events that had happened yesterday, I could bet that he was not in his right mind and was acting out of emotions. Such an emotional being. I wasn't feeling like getting up from bed early, as I usually do, because I didn't want to bump into Christian. I wanted him to leave, before I could make my way out of the house. And I don't think I would tell Ophelia as well, because she was likely going to tell Mr.Christian. Though I didn't plan on staying out late today. I will be back before Mr. Christian comes back from work.I was set to get up, when I heard a knock at my door and then my name."Lucy!"It was
Christian. I have been in the office all day, but I couldn't even concentrate, I was trying, but nothing was going. Was I suddenly losing my mind?What was wrong with me?Anything I tried to do, Lucy would pop into my head.I couldn't even think of anything else. 'Didn't we agree that , no girls anymore? We needed to concentrate on us and forget about women 'I talked to my mind, but he was not replying to me, because he was paying attention to Lucy. He was focusing on her .I remember the first time I had seen her.I didn't know I was ever going to see her again, until she came to my company. And I couldn't think of anything else, other than to come up with my little plan to make her stay and not go away again. I remember that day like it was just yesterday. If Cyrus had seen her on that day, there would be no doubt that he had recognized her, before I beat his entire life out of him.I leaned against my chair, as a smile appeared on my face; when I thought about that day. She
Lucy.I should tell this to someone, someone has to know about it, but who was I going to tell? I couldn't tell my mother, tell my brother nor my friend, because those are the only people I have in my life. And given that their lives were under threat, I don't know what to do either.I was supposed to protect them. The incident yesterday with Mr. Frederick was still fresh in my mind. I could still feel his hands on my body, his hands grabbing my clit, his lips pressed against mine.The roughness he was using on me. I felt disgusted. I was molested . He did that to me.He touched me. That old man touched me with no remorse. He said he would get back to me , when I kneed him in the balls. He said I was going to pay.He used my family to threaten me with. "Noo!"I sat upright on my bed and moved to the headboard, where I dragged my knees together and buried my face into it, as tears ran down my cheeks. What was I supposed to do at this moment?Go to the police? But what would I t
Lucy.As usual, Ophelia had finished her work and had left saying that she wanted to go take something from her house before coming back. I was in the house all by myself. Watching the TV was not even pleasing to me at all.All the negative thoughts at Mr. Frederick's place, were still fresh in my memories. I wasn't myself at all. I kept thinking about what he could possibly do. I weakly turned to my side on the couch and grabbed my phone.I dialed my mother's number, which she picked up at the second ring."Mother."I called, standing up from the couch and walking towards the double doors that led into the house. "How are you doing, Lucy?"She asked but in the background I could hear her talking to someone, it was like she was talking to a customer. I was relieved when I heard the calmness in her voice. It showed she was doing Alright. Still, I had to ask. "I'm doing Alright, mother. How are you doing? How is Brandon?""We are all doing good my dear. Your Brother left for sch
Christian."Laura and I aren't a thing."I told him. How do I feel like he came this time around to mess me up."Okay, if you say so."I nodded my head in a sign of appreciation. He had better stop talking already.I glanced over at Lucy, but she was eating her food anymore.Her hands were under the table.She sat liek she had been scolded and stopped not from eating the food in front of her.I bought my attention back to my food and continued eating on it.***"Kevin is going to be staying with me."My father announced standing in front of his mirror as she adjusted the his coat.We were preparing to go to the hospital, to go see Kevin.I was already done with myself and I climbed up the stairs to come see him in his room.He had a whole appartment at my place, whenever he came for a visit."That would have been possible, If you had anyone in the house to take care of him."I retorted back. There is absolutely no one in his house, to take care of him and he was thinking of taking
Christian. "I have told you not to come to my house without being invited. Why did you come?"I asked Laura. She stood at the door not bothering that there were people outside that were supposed to enter inside the house. "If you are not willing and ready to take this relationship to another level, then I will continue to be a paste in your life until you make a statement."She lamented. I didn't even understand what was going on at this moment. How else am I supposed to make her know that I was not interested in her even one bit. "If you do not get out of my way this instance, I promise to drag you away from that door and sent you outside of my house. Do not ever in your lifetime, step your feet here again."She kept baiting her eyelashes, like she didn't give a care in the world. "Who is she and why is she here?"I let out a puff of breath, when I heard Kevin's voice asked behind me.What am I supposed to tell him.Maybe, she is a paste that has been disturbing my life
Lucy. On normal days, I would have just stayed in my room and not show my face outside.However, I couldn't since they were visitors in the house. This was not this was not my house. So? I had to respect the numbs and be where the others were. I was just a cleaner as Mr Christian had said to his father. He should have said something elseWhile they were sitting oaround the dining table eating and chatting together, I was just at the couch with my eyes glued to the TV that was showing anything interesting. . Maybe it was interesting and I refused to see it because, my mimd kept wondering about the incident outside with Mr Christian kissing that artificial girl.They should have used a room and not kissed outside where everyone could see them.When he saw me, he pretended like he didn't just kissed the girl and went on to explain himself to me. It's not like we are girlfriend and boyfriend or something of that sort. TShe came here in the morning and was making noise all over
Lucy. It's been a week since Christian's brother came back homeEverything was moving quite well. I was getting used to him. He was such a nice kid and wouldn't stop telling me about the things he had seen in the hospital, how people die everyday; those that even before they could attend to them would give up the ghost.I was presently in his room to give him his food. Christian's house was quite big and even if ten people come there, they will have a spare room for themselves. Kevin was sitting on the gray sofa in front of his bed as I walk over to him with the food that I hard served in a tray. I placed the tray on the table in front of him."You are a very nice girl. I don't know why my brother hasn't said anything concerning you yet. You are not all those his artificial girls he used to bring home. The other one who left him for his best friend. How do they even call her again..." he tapped his index finger against his forehead. ""He has not always been so lucky with r
Lucy's POV. Christian and I had left work early because we had to go meet my mother. I had called and told her that, I will be coming over with a guest. I didn't tell her wo it was. I didn't want her to be all over the place."You can park your car here." I pointed at the empty parking lot. He nodded and drove us over.When he was fully parked, we got down from the car and made our way to the door.As we walked through the front door, I could feel my excitement mingling with nervousness. I had no idea how my mother would react to seeing the famous Mr. Christian in person. She had heard about him. But I doubted if she had ever seen him in person. "Mom, I'm home!" I called out, pushing the front door open as Christian and I entered the house.My mother stood up from her favourite spot in te living room, her eyes widening as she caught sight of Christian beside me. "Lucy, is that... is that Mr. Christian?" she asked, her voice filled with surprise.I couldn't contain my grin as I nodd
Christian's POV. "So, you mean to tell me that, Mr. Frederick has refused to abide by the rules I gave him and went on to do his own thing? He is even planning on launching an attack on me and also spreading false rumors about me over the internet?" I looked over at Tony as we sat around the dining table. I had called him earlier yesterday, but he told me he was busy and only come this morning so that we could talk about what was going on and here he was telling me about Mr. Frederick who has refused to abide by the rules I gave him.This man sure didn't know who exactly he was playing with."Exactly what I heard him say. I know there was something off about that man, the moment I went to his office. To clear my doubts, I keep an eye on him and every step he made and that is exactly the information I got from him."I slammed my fist on the table in anger because I couldn't believe that after all that he had done, instead of giving him a great punishment, I decided to give him s
Lucy's POV. It has been a wonderful day and I couldn't wait to go back to that office to be with ChristianI haven't imagined this all my life to be with someone like him all my life I mean the guy who gives light to this country. It was like, when he says they should be light, there will be light and when he says there should be no light, there will be no light at all.Ever since I have been growing up, I have only heard stories about him and never really taken that into consideration.Never in my life, had I ever imagined that we two would become a thing and up to the extent that I was working for him. All that felt surreal and I couldn't just bring myself to think about it. I walk into the house all smiles.There was nothing else in my head for me to think about, except Christian and the little moments we have been having together.I walked into the living room to meet my mother watching some television series.She was so focused that, she didn't even notice me enter the hou
Christian's POV Lucy and I drove out of the company at the same time. When we were on the highway, she took the direction that led to her house while I drove to my father's house. I wonder why he was calling me. I drove into the yard and parked my car in the parking lot. I got out of the car and found George standing at the entrance of the house, with his hands behind his back, a smile plastered on his face. He is always there waiting for me, whenever he hears of my arrival. "Thank you," I told him as he took my bag inside. "Is my father in?" I asked as I followed him behind. "Yes, he is in the private living room and he has been waiting for you all day." I nodded and walked past him to the stairs Waiting for me all day. I had told him I would be coming over after work. There was no need for him to be overly dramatic. I don't know if George was the one exaggerating the whole thing or if my father had indeed been waiting for me all day. Nonetheless, I knew my f
Christian's POV. I drove home, feeling quite excited. I was getting it all back together. That girl was a gem. Something precious that I was definitely going to lose, if I didn't act fast about it.Thank Lucy for her self control that we had to stop, well, not that I didn't have any self control left. I did, but with her, it was hard for me to control myself. I went directly to the parking lot and parked my car.Closing the door, I took out the keys and made my way to the double doors that led to my house. "You should have seen him that week. He looked like he could kill somebody, until father and I had asked him to go after her rather than stay here in the house and act all moody."I heard Kevin explain and stopped, then a fist of heavy laughter bumped inside the house. "Then he went after her?" The other voice asked, still laughing. "Yes, I think he must be with her now that we speak."They went on and on and I decided to open the door. I couldn't stand there and hear them
Lucy's POV. Well well, I couldn't believe that things would end like this.We finally fixed things and everything would finally be okay now between us.Majorie and I were talking about me getting a job and I didn't know that it was going to come this quick and look at this now.Just right in front of me. I didn't even need to work so hard for it. Well, I'm happy to say the least Christian and I have been talking for the past two hours now.I kept asking him about how he has been coping and all that. I actually wanted to ask about Cyrus , like where he was and all that, if they had finally settled the difference between them. But I couldn't bring that up, given how much he disliked the guy.He was his friend and people do make mistakes but I don't understand if they have been something between them before the world Cindy stuff or it was just some mere thing. Nonetheless, I'm glad that I was finally seeing some light in his eyes, given the situations he had been through. It must ha
Christian's POV.It had been a week since I last talked to Lucy, and it was starting to weigh on me. I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. Nonetheless, I will call her after work today. I got dressed, ensuring I looked presentable, and left for workAs the day went by, my mind kept drifting towards Lucy.I couldn't concentrate on my tasks; her absence had left a void in my heart. I never thought something like this would ever happen to me, but here I was. My thoughts being invaded by a girl, a mere girl.The funniest thing is, I should be angry for what did, but I was not. Instead, I find myself, wanting the spent the rest of my days with her.Thoughts of our last conversation played on repeat in my mind, making me wonder what had happened between us.I wrapped up my work and put a few office things together before leaving for home. It's become difficult for me to concerntrate on my work because all I do is to sit and think of her.The ride back was filled with contemplation.
Lucy's POV I don't know why I was sad about his response to what I asked him back in the car.That did not sit quite right with me or is it the fact that I did not ask it directly? However, I didn't say anything as I made my way to marjorie's house. I was hurt but there was nothing I could do. I had done him wrong and I know that he was taking that on me even though he was not showing it, not that he told me but I knew for a fact that he was taking that on me. Perhaps, this was my faye and I just have to accept it and just let everything go.As the saying goes, if you love something, you should let it go. If it comes back to you, it was yours but if it doesn't come back then it was never yours to begin with. Maybe that was the case between Christian and I This was never meant to be. The earlier I come to terms with it, then the better for me .I decided to brushed all those thoughts off my head, even though I know it was going to take a long time. But for the time being,
Christian's POV. I know exactly where Lucy was going to, when she asked me that" so what now?" However, I didn't have any answer to give to that or let's just say, I wanted to clear my head off these things that were around me before anything else. I needed to deal with Mr. Frederick first and make sure that every other thing was in place before I could get to her and let her know of my intentions. She must have it in her mind that perhaps I was just trying to use her or maybe it was still about what she had done and that I was going to use it against her. However, that was not the deal. She has always been in my heart and she would always be. I just needed to fix a few things before I can call her put her down and we can talk about us and if we want to continue this or we just let it slide. I drove back to the house because I had already finished everything I wanted to do at the company so I couldn't go back there. When I got inside the living room, I could perceive so
