Lucy."Are you sure he told you to do that?"Brandon asked for the fourthtime as we drove to the hospital. I kept telling him that Mr. Christian had said that, he was free to visit Kevin, but he didn't want to believe me.He had called yesterday, wanting to go visit Kevin, but I was skeptical about it because of the little tension between Christian and me.I told him I wanted to leave, but unfortunately, our contract wasn't over yet.Just two months, two months, and I will be out of this place and continue my life just like it was with my family. It was better that way.I would look for something else to do, rather than go to Mr. Frederick. Well, there was no possibility of me ever doing that, if I value my life."Can you just stay quiet? Why would I lie about something like that."Even if I wanted to lie, not about something like this."Okay cool. Just drive me to Kevin, I need to see him. I need to know how he is feeling. I'm worried about him."Brandon sigh, running a hand down h
Lucy.I stood at the door with my hands folded watching his every move. Brandon was standing against the wall, with his eyes locked on Mr. Christian, while Kevin had his eyes on his brother. However, we were taken by surprise as he went over to Kevin and pulled him into a hug.Kevin looked between Brandon and me, with a confused look on his face. I was confused as well. I thought he was going to punch Brandon for coming to see the his brother, even after he had told me to let him come and see him."I promise to take care of you, make sure you leave this hospital healthy and strong."Christian sent his hand around Kevin's neck and pulled him into his chest, making the hug even tight than before. "Ouch! Seth, you are going to break my bones. I'm a patient, remember"Kevin gaze at me with pleading eyes. "You don't want to add to my troubles by breaking my ribs right."Kevin pressed his face into the crock of Christian's neck."I'm sorry that this has to happen to you, this has to ha
Christian. "Seth, can you met her see me please."Kevin looked ta me with watery eyes, as the police drag Nadia out of the door."No, Kevin you can't see her." I said firmly. This would he the last time I wills set eyes on her.I had gave her several warnings to stay away from my family, but she wouldn't listen. She kept coming.Why was she this stubborn? If we meat something to her, she would have stayed there for us. She wouldn't have left us.She would have stayed with my father and they struggled together. But no, she wanted the easy life, where everything would be serve to her on a gold platter.Who does that to their kids."Seth.""Kevin, do not get on my nerves. Stay there and focus on getting better. She is not your mother and would never be. So not make me repeat myself again."I turned to him . He nodded and slept back on the bed; with a sad expression on his face.He just how much trouble we had gone through and yet, he wanted this woman to be around."I will see you
Lucy. I wasn't expecting Christian to just open up to me like that.However, I understood his situation and just let him be.After he had eaten the food, he came downstairs, all dressed up with the empty tray in his hands.I quickly got up from the dining table , where I was sitting, having my food and quickly go to take the tray from him and went directly to the kitchen with it.He then told us that, he was going to the project site to see how things were going on there.He left and till now, he hasn't comeback .It's 3:00PM the next day and still no signs of him.His phone has been ringing but no one was picking up.I was so worried that I went to his office this morning just to check if he was there or perhaps he had too much work so he decided to sleep at his office. To my greatest dismay, he was not even there.I asked Juliette who was at her desk, but she told me that Christian didn't even come to the office yesterday. What could have gone wrong?If anything, he should h
Lucy.I was only able to take off his shirt because I couldn't just stand there and watch his all sexy glory and remain in one piece.He was actually driving me crazy . Just his torso alone was able to make me lose my senses. I was not sure if I will be okay, if I stand and watch him take off all his clothes." You know what, I will be downstairs; in the kitchen to prepare your dinner. When you are done taking your bath , you should call me and I will bring it right up to your room."I said bypassing him to make my way put of the bathroom, but I didn't even make it to the door before he grabbed my hand and pulled me back to him."Don't be such a baby."He told me and before I could even respond to him or ask him what he was doing, he pulled me into the shower that was next to us." There is warm water in the bathtub, you should use that one and not the shower. It's cold."Before I could even finish my sentence , he opened the shower and the water pour down on us." Could you
Lucy.The sounds of bird chirpong and singing outside made me to open my eyes.I glanced around the room I was in.Well, it happens that, I slept in Mr. Christian's room and in his bed.I was sleeping with him on my side.I look at him amd he was sleeping so peacefully, with the blanket around his chest.His dark hair falling down to his face.He looked beautiful and peaceful in his sleep.I wish that this was actually the reality, like he was not feeling anything at all, like he didn't have any troubles at all.However, that was not the case. But I hope that, he will be able to overcome all this and put his self back together .Looking around the room again, I couldn't just stay in bed , like I was the lady of the house.I had a job to do.I quickly got up from the bed. I pushed the blanket down making sure to take it off Christian's bodyI look at the floor to pick up my clothes, just then, I realized that I was not with any clothes at all.There were all drenched in
Christian. I was in my father's hospital room as I waited for Dr. Mark to come and give me the details on how my father has been doing for the past few days; if there was any hope for him waking up and remembering everythingAlso , if he be able to walk again.I was sitting on a stool that was facing my father's bed. I took his hands into mine.He was just laying there, not reacting to anything , he laid straight like somebody that had be long dead. I wish I had the powers to reverse all this back, he wouldn't be here; suffering like this.The door open, making me to look in that direction.Dr Mark walked inside with a notepad in his hand. As he entered, another nurse walk behind him , holding a book in her hands.I quickly stood up from where I was sitting, making sure to gently place my father's hand on his side on the bed. The other on one was on his stomach."Good morning, Dr. Mark. How is the situation now? How is everything going? Is there hope of something better ever
Lucy. "Do you think you can come over now? I really have something important I want us to talk about. If you can make time out of your busy schedule and come over and then I had been very grateful." I send a text to Brandon and kept my phone next to me on the couch that I was sitting on.I took the bowl of popcorn and grab a handful of it and shove it into my mouth as I watch the movie that was ongoing on the screen. In just a few seconds , my phone buzz up with a message. I picked it up and read the message." I have a busy schedule today but don't you worry, I'll be right on my way. I hope that whatever you want us to talk about will be worth my time because I wouldn't want to come there, for you to tell me that, you wanted to see me because you miss me."I smiled at the seriousness in the message and continued reading."I wouldn't be the happy at all." I read the message with a smile on my face, this boy has always been like that. He would hardly take out time to
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
