Lucy."Where did you know him from?"She asked me with her eyes looking widely at me."Let him go first and I would tell you everything. " I went over and tried to take her hand off his clothes but she was adamant about letting go."I can't let him go, he might run away."She fixed her hand again on his clothes. "He is one of Mr. Christian's workers."She raised her brow at me like I was making up some stories. "For goodness sake, would let the poor guy go and let me explain everything to you."She slowly let go of his collar. The guy arranged it, before stepping to the side."We wouldn't be needing you here, I suggest that you should leave already."I told him and he quietly nodded, before leaving."Okay cool, kindly go inside and tell all what has been going on and what just happened outside."She didn't give me any breathing space as she dragged me inside the house.I sat on one of the couches and she sat on the opposite one.I told her everything, including what I was not even
Christian.If I thought my days would be worse after my father had made me stuck with Laura then I was mistaken. He had called me this afternoon and I thought that he wanted us to discuss his travel schedule because he wanted to travel again, but my spirit died down and I wished that I didn't pick up the call, the moment he started ranting about my idiotic mother. He told me that she had come to him and wanted to plead for forgiveness and you know how this started?She had gone to the hospital to look for Kevin and doctor mark told her that, we had brought him home.I guess she didn't want to face me; that's why she had to use her cunning ways to go to my father.That woman was sick and I guess I need to visit doctor mark this time for the last warning. I had told not once nor twice, to stop giving information about my family to that deadly woman. She was no longer a part of us. She was not my family and nothing concerning us, needs to enter her ears, but that old fool of a docto
Christian. I stalked towards them, with fast steps. What was going on? How did he get into my house? Who let him in? Who opened the gates for him?I could feel my adrenaline begging for release as I finally got to where he was standing with his hands in the pocket of the black hoodie he was putting on. The good was over his head as he stood facing Lucy."Can someone explain to me what is going on here?"I asked as my fist immediately collided with Cyrus face.I told him last time not to ever show his face here ever again, but he didn't listen to me and had the guts to show his face again. Was he cutting for death or something else.He stumble to the floor and I immediately landed on him.He shouldn't have shown his face here.He shouldn't have. "Do you want to kill him?"Lucy said , with voice shaking with fear as stood next to us, with her little fingers trying to catch my hand that were repeatedly punching Cyrus face. "Really huh? I should let go of him? How long have two been
Lucy.As it is a tradition in Christian's house, when it is 8:00 PM, everyone has to be around the dining table for dinner and no one is to be absent. He had come back home with his father. His father visited just a few days ago and he was here again.Happy are those who have fathers, who can come around as often. After he had greeted everyone in the living room and gone up the stairs with his father, I went into my room so that I could prepare and come back to the living room to join the others for dinner. I sat at the dinner table, with everyone else present, except for Mr. Christian and his father.They were the head of the house and we had to wait for them.As we sat waiting for them, I decided to scroll down on my phone.Just then, my phone started vibrating in my hand. It was loud at first, so I had to quickly put it on vibration so that it would not disturb the others. I looked at the screen, it was a strange number. I did not bother about it because I do not take cal
Lucy.I didn’t understand what was going on. I did not bother to look outside again I locked the door and quickly made my way to my room to take my phone, to call Kevin and Brandon to come down to the living room because I was beginning to get scared.How could I hear a knock at the door to just check for the second time and see nobody there? It took me almost about 3 minutes to get a hold of my phone because I didn't know where I had dumped it, when I last used it. I was able to find it on the vanity table in my closet. Immediately I set my hands on it, I took it and hurried into the living room .I scrolled down to get kevins or Brandon's number, any of them would do Immediately I reached the living room, my eyes darted to the door subconsciously.It was wide open. I stopped in my tracks with the phone in my hand. I looked around the house, maybe it could be Ophelia who just entered, but there was no one in the house, nor any sound. I looked outside from where I was
Lucy.I paced nervously in the living room with my hands constantly running through my hair.How is Kevin doing?Would Christian really blame that on my brother? Was he really going to think that my brother pushed Kevin down the stairs?I mean, Kevin was the one dragging Brandon up the stairs because he didn't want him to go home just yet and then he missed his steps, slipped on the oil and he fell.I didn't understand anything at all. How come there was oil on the stairs?I have been going up and down those stairs today and didn't see that. Just went I wanted Kevin and Brandon to come down and save me from the nightmare of the door constantly opening and closing, this had to happen. Wait!When the door was knocked one more time , I went to open it, but didn't see anyone. I closed the door, before going to my room to get my phone so that I could call someone and when I came back, I found the door wide open like I didn't close it at all.Thinking about it, could someone have possibl
Christian. I had a lot of work to do at the office today, since Juliet had returned and had to re-fix some schedules that I had completely forgotten. She came back and was not looking bright at all.I understood her, given that she was just from mourning the only family she had."I'm not feeling really fine, Mr. Christian. I want to go home, if you so permit."She stood in front of me, with head down, like she was avoiding my gaze. I couldn tell, because her face was looking everywhere in the office, but she avoided my gaze.She was dressed in a white long sleeve shirt tucked into a pair of black tailored pants that were big at her angles. Her blonde hair was let loose. She wasn't looking fine at all. Dark circles under her eyes and looked a bit shivering like she had a fever. It was almost 6 PM. So she could go home. "It's cool. You can go home. If you still don't feel better tomorrow, you can stay at home."I used the pen I was fiddling in my hands and leaned down to the
Lucy."Where is the room Mr. Christian and Kevin are in?" I asked Salvador who was already ahead of me, with some of the bags in his hands.He stopped, spun around and looked at me. " I didn’t even ask..."He stared at the bags in my hands."What are all these bags for? Man, they are so heavy." He almost let out a chuckle as he looked down at the bag in his hands and those that were in my hands."Why don't you take me inside first, and then you can check what's inside the bags." I suggested with uneasiness, because the food flask in my hand was the heaviest and I don't know why he was complaining with the two small bags in his hands. "Ok, fine. Let’s go then. To be on the safe side, make sure not to say anything that will irritate Mr. Christian. He is not at his best at this moment. In fact, greetings would be just fine." Salvador told me seriously and I understood him.No one in Mr. Christians position would take what happened to his only brother lightly. He loves his
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
