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
Christian POV. After dressing for work, I went into Kevin's room and he was still sleeping. He didn't have anything to do, so he was bound to sleep all day.Figuring out that he was no way near waking up even if I tried to, I walked over to his table. I took a sheet of paper and a pen and wrote down what I wanted to tell him and kept it under the night stand. When he wakes up, he will get to it.After that, I got into my car and went to work.Lucy and I had planned to visit Mr.Frederick later on in the afternoon. The man has questions that he has to answer from us and I couldn't just let all that pass.I thought all he tried to do to Lucy was what she had told me, not until she told me that he had been sexually harassing her, while she was working with him.Such acts can't be tolerated and this man has to go in for it. I'm not about letting all that die down. People like him need to pay for every single wrong they have ever caused. I mean, his mates were out there with older wome
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
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.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. 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
