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
Lucy."I don't know how you are going to do it, but I want this to happen within the space of one week."I looked up at the man in bewilderment. How on earth did he want me to do that? I should put my face in front of the media as a bad person!I act like one of his victims? But I was never his victim. And I have never heard of anyews about him molesting anyone or taking advantage of them. This was going to be a very difficult one for me.This man shouldn't have done this."What if I don't want to do it?"I asked feeling guilty and disappointed in myself He looked at me over his table with his jawline in a firm line "Then, you know exactly what is going to happen to your mother and brother. I suggest that you don't argue and go ahead to do what I have assigned you to do."Just perfect. I literally have no say at all. There he went again, giving me no choice at all and I have to do what he says."Okay." I said. Turning around, I picked up my bag and made my way to the door and s
Lucy.I have thought of all possible ways to get to Mr.Christian but there was nothing at all and I was left with the option of going to his house.I couldn't go to his house this morning because he should definitely be at his office. After debating , I finally woke up from the bed. My alarm has been constantly ringing and I just had to switch if offMr. Frederick had given me one week to get his work done. I will use that as an excuse to stay at home and not show myself at work. He put me into this, so I was going to show him just how it feels to make someone do something against their wish. Sighing, I wake up from the bed and stretch my hands.I placed my legs into my floppy slippers and made my way to the bathroom, where I stripped and got into the shower.After my shower, I went to my closet and got dressed in black shorts and a white t-shirt with my hair in a low ponytail. Just as I was about to step out of my room, my door swung open from the outside, making me step behind.
I don't she was never going to talk to me again, after the several attempts in getting in touch with her. But I was actually stocked, when she called me and said she wanted to come to the house so that we could talk.I had done my investigations and found that she was not responsible for anything at all.I was just wrong with my conclusions, which was bad to do,without getting her own point of view. Nonetheless, I'm glad that she had to come here for me. I don't know how I was going to tell her, but seeing her gave me this boy in my heart. "Are we cool now?"She asked me as we sat in my room. She was sitting on the couch while I was sitting across from her."Yes; we are. Unless you want to tell me something else."She smiled and shrugged. "Well, I guess you have nothing at all."She nodded. "What are you doing now?" I asked, switching my phone off and keeping it on the empty space next to me."What do you mean?" She asked in confusion! I guess she didn't understand what I was t
Lucy I did not like what I was about to do, but I couldn't just bring myself to think of anything else.Today was Ophelia's birthday. I had gone to visit Mr. Christian just about three days ago and everything went out smoothly.I didn't know that it was going to end up like that. With him accepting everything .We stayed together and made some arrangements about Ophelia's birthday party.She didn't even want it at all, but Mr. Christian couldn't let that slide. Kevin on the other hand, was so happy that I was in their house. I even remember he had secretly told me that, Christian was really happy that I was around and that since I left, he has been moody and never really talked to anyone, though he didn't try to show it. Kevin said ge was someone that knew how to read people and that's how he could do it. That's was great with him.I know what was going on with him.The worst part is that, he told me that he loved me. That really just change everything about the plan; abo
Christian.I took the glass of wine from Lucy's hands and gulped it.I was once again happy that she was here with me and we were doing well.Tony and I were discussing how they project site went and how people were happy and also what that woman had told me.just then, I started feeling really dizzy, my head acting like someone is playing a really hard drum inside of it.I Look Over at Tony and it was like he had two heads and same as Lucy.Okay, this was getting even serious that I thought. I needed to get myself together.I excuse myself and made my way up to my room.I didn't know that Lucy Had followed me up."Is everything okay with you Mr Christian? You don't look to be well. If there is anything you can tell me and I will help you with it."Why did she keep calling me Mr. Christian?I mean we were already a thing now.A different and sweet name should be said."You shouldn't call me that . You still haven't really consider your love for me? I already told you that I love
Christian's POVI woke up dazed and confused, trying to remember what had happened the night before. All I could recall was a hazy image of Lucy giving me a glass of wine. My head was pounding, and as I rubbed my temples, I realized I couldn't find my phone.Panic set in as I searched my room, but there was no sign of it. I wondered if I had lost it somewhere or if someone had taken it. I needed to call Lucy to find out what had happened the night before.I got out of bed and stumbled into the bathroom to take a quick shower. As I dressed in my black suit, I went down to the living room, where I saw my father, and the others siited around the dinner table. The living room was spotless, like nothing had taken place here. The person that cleaned it, did a good job."Good morning, father." I greeted and turned to my younger brother Kelvin, my driver Salvador, and my maid Ophelia. I greeted them as well, which they responded with smiles on their faces."You left the party quite early la
Lucy's POV I felt embarrassed and ashamed of the pictures I had uploaded on social media. I couldn't even explain myself to Christian when he called me to fond out what had happened.But that's not something that I could tell him.I needed to get things together first, before any other thing can follow. I shouldn't have done it in the first place. Yet, I had no options. My family life was at risk."M. Frederick has been asking of you."Debbie said, the moment I step foot into the company building.Still I was not expecting that calm expression on her face. She should be gasping in suprise and asking me what had happened, while those pictures on the media, but she didn't ask me thing.I had uploaded the pictures. Was it just Christian that saw them? Or did something happen along the line?"Alright" I said and made and walked past her to Mr.Frederick office.He was seated on behind his desk, with a ballpoint in his hands.His eyes snapped to my direction, when I enter his office. "I
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
