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
Christian's POV.What is wrong with Lucy? Why isn't she picking up my calls? It's been almost two weeks, since I lastly talked with her and she told me that, she would look for time so that we could meet and she would explain to me what had happened, after then, her number hasn't been going through. It's been switched off. Tony too has been unable to find out what was going on or what happened before she uploaded those pictures. Like what was wrong with her? She spiked my drink, got me drunk, slept with me and took photos, and uploaded them on the media. Hadn't it been that I was not vigilant enough and I was not connected with the top media personalities in town, I don't know what I would have done. My reputation would have been hanging on a threat.She did wrong. All I wanted from her is to tell me if she was okay if someone was threatening her.But now, her phone was completely off. I needed to talk to her.She has alone to explain to me."I can see that you are ready for wo
Christian's POV I felt a bit uneasy doing so, as I had never been to her boss's office before and didn't want to appear like I was prying. But I knew I had no other option.I needed to know what is going on. I had to know everything. He could be the reason why Lucy was acting like this.I don't trust all these all men.I made my way straight to the hallway, gradually approaching Mr. Frederick's office. As I was approaching the door, I spotted the door with his nameplate on it. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door, waiting for permission to enter.To my surprise, the door was slightly ajar, and I could hear snippets of a conversation between Lucy’s boss and someone else. I stopped in my tracks when I heads a voice.The conversation sounded heated, and I hesitated for a moment before mustering up the courage to push the door open and step inside.And that was when my eyes met something shocking.Standing before me was Mr. Frederick and the red haired woman Tony had sent her pic
Lucy's POV. I'm wearing this blue tight fitting gown that I bought specifically for tonight's meeting with Christian. I'm nervous as I wait for him at the coffee shop, knowing that I need to explain everything to him. My heart beats faster with every passing minute, and my palms are starting to sweat.I keep looking at the door, hoping Christian would arrive soon, but seconds tick by, and he's nowhere in sight. I start to feel anxious; maybe he's not coming, or he's changed his mind about our meeting. If that is the case, he should have told me about it and not make wait here.The coffee I ordered, had already finish and I had to order another one.As the minutes turn into hours without any sign of Christian, I'm left disappointed and confused. Why would he agree to meet me and then fail to show up? I rehearsed over and over all the things I needed to tell him, but now I guess I will have to wait for some other time.It's frustrating, but I know there's nothing I can do but wait. I t
Christian's POV. I tried to keep myself calm. I didn't want to let my anger out; when Lucy was telling me all that. I had a feeling about all that, but I wanted to hear it from her.She had done wrong, but I couldn't take it her , because I knew that there was something wrong. She couldn't have done all that on her ownSomeone was behind it and it happened to be that useless man. That I man I met with my father.On God, I'm going to make home pay dearly for everything.I just needed tol plan everything out.As I stepped out of my car, I made my way to the house.Kevin had told me that, he was going to meet Lucy's brother and I let him.Presently, the house was quiet.I needed to see my father. He needed to know about what I have learned. As I walked into my house, the rage boiled beneath my surface. I couldn’t believe that man, Frederick was the cause of all this. He threatened Lucy and thought he would go free.I stormed into my living room and flopped onto the couch in frustrat
Christian's POV. "Alright, son. Thanks for visiting your old man."My father pulled me into a hug as we stepped out of the house."Come on faith. Don't talk like I don't always visit you." I mean I come here always, especially now that he had this accident. I couldn't just stay back knowing that he was here all by himself. "No words. And tell Kevin that I would be waiting for him next.""Ofcourse."I shook my head and got into the car. I waved him goodbye before driving off. I couldn't bring myself to tell what I had witnessed Nadia doing. She had left a long time ago. We had forgotten about her and it should stay like that. As I was approaching the house, I picked up my phone from the front seat next to me, with the aim of calling lucy; but kept it back. I needed to get what I was doing before getting it. After this must have finished; I will call her and we shall fix everything. I drove into the house and immediately went to my study to look at the information Tony had sent
Lucy's POV. I know that, Christian must be thinking I might be involved with his mother coming to his house but trust me, I have no idea about it. I told Kevin back in our house that his brother had invited me over for a talk and he decided to just come along with me.When we were closer to the gate we spotted Nadia standing there with rain pouring down on her.The way she was shivering, we couldn't just let her stand there when she could get inside. Kevin brought the idea of her coming inside. I couldn't say anything since I didn't know why she was here; if she had gotten inside and Christian decided to send her back outside. Still, we couldn't just let her there, so we had to bring her inside. Kevin went up the stairs and came back with a black T-shirt and some black joggings, which he handed them over to his mother.She went to the guest bathroom and changed into them.The whole time, Christian had this anger on his face, like the woman was the last thing he ever wan
