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."Are you still talking with that boy?"Mr.Frederick asked, irritated as he stared at me having my phone in my hands.I didn't respond to him.I continued to do what I was doing. I didn't just have time for him this morning. After forcefully asking me to work for him, he had told me not talk with Mr. Christian anymore. "I'm talking to you and you should answer me."He growled on his desk"You deleted his number and how am I supposed to communicate with him?"This old fool was really thinking that he had the upper hand, he should just wait and watch me crumble him down. All his secrets would get leaked out sooner or later."Great. I don't want you talking with him or anyone close to him. You should only talk to me and not him."I flexed a confused brow at him.Was this old man kidding me or something? Why should I only talk to him?Who was he?"Okay."Just for the sake of him believing his own words. "Can I have my coffee?"He questioned looking up at me and I responded w
Christian. I stood up, the fourth time, from where I was seated, almost throwing my phone against my office door in range as I called Lucy for over the fifth time, but she was not picking up, not like it was ringing. It kept going to voicemail. What could be going on?Why isn't she picking up? Why is the number going to voicemail?Did she block me, black listed me or something?If that's the case, why would she do that?Perhaps of what I did. At least; she should pick up and hear me speak and not completely ignore me.Deciding to let the issue hang on for a moment, I slid my phone into the pockets of my pants and made my way out of the office. I came back home around 7 PM and I haven't checked up on Kevin to see how he was doing. Walking up to his room, I knocked on his door, but no one responded. Knocking the second time with no response, I decided to push the door open. I looked at the room in confusion. It was empty with Kevin nowhere to be seen.Where could he have gone
Lucy! I really want to talk to Mr. Christian but I don’t know how to do that, since Mr. Frederick had deleted his number in my phone.There is no any other means of communication with him.I should have asked Kelvin to give me his number the day he came to our house, but I never thought about it.I actually know this is none of my business and majorie had told me to stay out of it but it really hurts to see that, the person they called their mother, was out here playing some stupid game with this old man called Mr. Frederic. This is thesame man that denied to pay my father’s salary so that he could be taken to the hospital and giving proper medication and with that, he lose his life.On God, I’m not going to let this slide.This man is going to pay so dearly for everything.Right now; I don’t even know what to do.Should I just go back to Mr. Christian house and maybe talk to him or perhaps just stay here and do nothing at all?I don’t even know for how long I was going to keep
Lucy:You see, that boy has really been a pain in my ass; since the day I sent you to his office, so that we could make a negotiation with him but rather he took the whole thing into his own hands and try to ruin my life. He literally has no idea about how much I had lost, with him taking my light every now and then." He had this serious expression on his face when he was telling me all that.I wonder where all this was going to. Still, I sat there quietly waiting for him to finish his explanation and tell me where all this was going to. I wasn’t getting any of this at all." I have lost quite a lot and I think it is time for him to face the consequences as well. You know who is going to do that for me?? Who is going to make that happen for me?" He looked at me with this cocky look on his face, like he wanted me to know the answer of the question he was asking me, but I was just as dumb as him." I don’t know, Sir." I told him, seeming uninterested in whatever thing that
