Lucy."What exactly happen, why are you back home and with your bags? Is everything okay, how about Kevin, his brother ? I know that, you still have a two months contract with them and out of a sudden, you are back home with your bags and looking like this. You can't just sit here and tell me that nothing happened."I looked at Brandon who was standing in front of me. I didn't know what exactly to tell him.I myself I did not even understand anything at all. What explaination was I supposed to give him.There was no explanation as to why Christian reacted like that.I mean , I only open the door, so that Cyrus could come inside.I did not even let him get inside and he just come out of nowhere and just started assuming things like he has always done.The worst part is, he called me names, told me how I was just like the other girls.I mean, was that even necessary?How did I even get there in the first place?Why are my own things always like that?when I thought I was f
Lucy."Did you go and check on Kevin as you said you were going to do after school today?"I asked Brandon who left the kitchen and was coming into the living room with a blue bowl of soup in his hands.He stopped the moment he heard me ask, with this spoon hanging .idway to enter his mouth."You know, I completely forgot about that and thank you for reminding me. After this, I will go there straight away."I may have leave Christian's house but that doesn't mean that. his friendship with Kevin should end as well. Their friendship should serve as memory that, I was ever in his life.If Christian and I can get anywhere, then my brother and his brother be friends. "Alright then. If you get there l, you extend my regards to him. Tell him that, if I ever get a chance, I will come and pay him a visit as well."I picked my phone next to me on the coach and scroll down it." Your wish is my command ma'am and I will tell him exactly that."He gave me a slide bow, before turning aro
Christian.Two weeks later."Are you sure you don't want her back here?" I looked over my laptop, to see Salvador standing in front of my office door, with a frown on his face."What do you want?" I asked him. It was hard, but I had told him not to make mention of her where I was, but he kept pushing."Come on, Christian. Are you just going to sit there every day and pretend like everything is okay? I mean, you look like trash."He pointed his hand towards me, before walking to sit down on the couch."You have barely been yourself, ever since Lucy left. You are worried about her, so why don't you call her back and stop pretending like everything is okay with you."I stopped what I was doing on my laptop and looked up at him.Did he leave all the way from the house to come and question me? What was all this about?"If you are done talking, I suggest you leave my office and only come back when I have asked you to. It appears to me that, you clearly don't understand anything."I might be
Christian. After checking up on Kevin to see that everything was okay with him, I decided to come check on my father as well. He was still in the same position as to when I lastly left the hospital. The oxygen tube was till connected to him. He laid on his bed unmoving, like a dead body, like someone who had no hope of ever waking up. I spend some time with him, not being able to tell him anything , tell him the things that were happening around me, the constant traumas I have been facing,since his accident.I couldn't even discuss that with him, because he was not listening. Even if he was listening, he couldn't even respond to me. Standing up from where I was sitting, I straighten the black suit on my body , I lean over and place a soft kissed on his forehead."Everything would be okay, father." I whispered. Just as I was about to leave the room , Dr. Mark, came in, with a nurse behind him."I see that you are about leaving?" He gave me a cheerful look as he walk
Lucy. I stood next to my bed as I watched the phone ringing on my nightstand, with a deep frown on my face. I thought after all the warnings from Mr. Christian, he would let me go, but he was still here, calling me.He had called the other day, I didn't pick up; knowing that he would let me go, but that was not the case and I didn't like it at all."Why aren't you picking up the phone? It's disturbing me."I turned to my door; to see Brandon standing there, with a scowl on his face.Not like my phone was ringing out that loud.I leaned down and picked up the phone, and pressed it against my ears, I waved for Brandon to leave my room.He rolled his eyes before leaving, which I was thankful for."You shouldn't take this much time to answer my calls, sweetheart. That breaks my heart."Mr. Frederick's deep voice sounded at the other end of the phone, making me cringe. "What do you want from me?"I question with a stern voice. If he wants to tell me something, he should go straight to
Christian's"I have told her to leave, but she is insisting on seeing you. I don’t know what to tell her anymore. Perhaps, you should go and see her." Ophelia entered the living room, with a bored expression on face.I was eating when I heard a knock at the gate and I asked her to go check on it, only for her to come and tell me that it was my mother, which I had asked her to go and tell her to leave.My hand clenched around the spoon in my hand. I had told that woman never to come bothering us again but she was still on it and very adamant." Just let it go. I am going to deal with her myself." I just had a lot of people to deal with this time around. First, I had to deal with that crazy secretary of mine. I don't even know where she is now, Lucy and right now my mother is standing at the gate insisting on coming into my house, to come and see me for reasons I have no idea about.Why is she so interested to see us, after she had left a long time ago?" OK, I will just go
Christian’s Exhausted from the daily activities, I had to prepare myself a really nice warm bath. I was in the bathtub in my room with my body totally immersed in the water and my head resting on the brim of the bathtub with my eyes closed. The feeling was so good that I didn’t even noticed that I had slept off.I was so tired. I left the office early to go visit the project site so that, we could arrange the day we are going to distribute light out to the people of Balmoral. The month was already coming to an end and something needed to be done. I couldn’t waste any more time because I gave been waiting for this day for a long time now.It would be hard, since my father would not he around. Still, I have to make things work out. I will be taking Kevin out of the hospital tomorrow. At least, that will be problem taken of my soldiers. That would reduce some stress off my shoulders.The only person that will i will be looking forward to his healings would be my fa
Christian. A week later."Good morning, father. Do you need anything else before I go to work?"I came down the stairs already dressed in my work suit, with my bags in my hands.My father was sitting at the dining table, having the breakfast Ophelia had made for him."No, son. I'm grateful for life. There is nothing else I will want."He shrugged and took a piece of fries into his mouth.However, there was something odd about his mood that I couldn't figure out.Was something disturbing him?Well, unless I asked.I checked the wrist watch on my hand. There was still some time for me to spare. "Is everything okay with you father?"I pulled a chair from the table and sat opposite him.He placed his spoon on the table, wrapped his fingers under his chin and looked at me.He looked at me for a while and didn't say anything, which made me arched a brow at him."Father!"He is not going to look at me like that."You should go to work. We will talk when you come back."I didn't insist o
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
