The two immediately broke apart and they turned to look at who had just cursed in anger. The person turned out to be no one else but Lucas and he looked mad whole emitting a murderous aura."Lucas,” Liam called softly as he got down from the bed. Just a few minutes ago he had resolved to speak to Lucas about the whole situation only for him to walk in on them making out. Belle immediately followed and she stood behind Liam as she didn't want to face her brother at that moment who had a murderous gaze on his face."You bastard! She was off-limits!" Lucas yelled in anger. He was beyond livid as he had just been betrayed by the person whom he regarded as his brother and best friend.He had never requested anything from Liam. When he did finally make a request, it was a simple one for Liam and it was that the latter would never get involved with Belle. Liam had not only given his assurance that it would never happen but he had even promised as well only for him to walk into the same Lia
“Are you mad because of that?” Kiandra asked.Lucas turned to face her and he squinted his eyes at her; an action that made Kiandra feel uneasy. How was she supposed to lie and pretend to a man like this? “Yes,” he answered and returned his attention to punching the bag which made Kiandra heave a sigh of relief.“Why?” Kiandra asked as she wanted to know why Lucas was so against Liam and his sister being together. Lucas stopped punching the bag and he turned to face Kiandra once again.“I don’t know if I’m supposed to be more mad at the fact that I caught my sister making out with Liam or the fact that you know and hid it from me and is still pretending not to know,” Lucas smiled and Kiandra felt her heart drop. Right from when he had met her, he had known Kiandra to be a terrible liar. Her mouth would say one thing but her body language would say the actual thing. She might have not realized but she tended to scratch the back of her head when she was anxious, lying or trying to pr
Morning came by and Kiandra was woken up by the sound of her alarm. When she got up to put it off, she found herself in Lucas’ arms. The last thing she remembered was sitting on the sofa waiting for Lucas to come back , which he didn’t do until she fell asleep.Seeing that he was still asleep, she turned off the alarm and got out of bed to get Zendaya ready for school. After having her bath, getting dressed and eating breakfast, Zendaya was ready to go to school. Kiandra took her out where the little girl’s personal driver was already waiting for her. “Don’t cause any trouble, Zendaya and I mean it,” Kiandra warned her daughter. “I won’t,” Zendaya answered her mother. Last night she wasn’t allowed to eat any ice-cream after dinner and she wasn’t happy about it. She would avoid Jayden so it wouldn’t cost her her dessert.“Have a good day,” Kiandra bid as Zendaya got into the car. She watched the car drive out of sight before turning and going back into the mansion. Kiandra wondered
Tyrone watched as Dolores slept. After she had lost consciousness, the nurse had checked her and she said that she was fine but that didn't stop him from worrying for her.He found himself unable to sleep and he spent the night watching her while waiting for her to wake up. Was it the memory she remembered that made her faint? He asked himself as he stroked her hair. She didn't seem to be in pain anymore and this made him heave a sigh of relief.Feeling a bit tired he rested his head on the bed, beside her arms while still in his sitting position. He slowly began to fall asleep.But he had barely fallen asleep when he felt someone touching his hair. He immediately sat up and he found Dolores staring at him."Dolores you're awake," he said and he immediately stood up. "Hmm, can you help me sit up,” she asked him. "Sure," he answered and he helped her sit up. As soon as she was up, she grabbed a pillow and started hitting him much to his surprise."You asshole," Dolores yelled as she
A waitress came up to their table at that point. "Ma'am, would you like to order anything?" She asked."Water will do," Kiandra simply said and the waitress left to go get it."You still haven't told me what you want and you're wasting my time," Kiandra told her mother."Aren't you going to help me? I could die," May cried out."What happened to the asshole oh sorry your boyfriend. Can't he help you? After all, he helped you abuse me," Kiandra asked her mother just as the waitress brought back her water. "Thank you," she said to the waitress who nodded and left."I'm sorry for what I've done," May apologized. If her daughter was angry at her then she would apologize so that she would give her the money she needed for the operation. "How did you get my number?" Kiandra asked her mother curiously, while conveniently ignoring her apology."It doesn't matter, dear," May said and Kiandra felt the urge to puke due to the endearing word May had used."Last chance before I leave, what do you
Kiandra turned to Lucas and then said. "When I found out I was pregnant with Zendaya, I found out she won eleven thousand dollars in a gambling game and I made her transfer ten thousand dollars to me so I would use that to take care of our daughter."Kiandra didn't need to expressly state what she wanted as Lucas immediately understood it. "The ten thousand will be transferred back to her," he stated."No, the money for the kidney transplant costs over four hundred thousand dollars," May cried out."Well, that isn't any of my business," Kiandra said and she stood up. "You should be grateful I'm returning your ten thousand dollars to you."Lucas also stood up seeing as she was done with her mother and he led her out of the cafe. May followed them and she tried to get to Kiandra but she was stopped by Lucas' men much to her anger. Not only did she break her vow of never telling Kiandra who her father was, she didn't get the money she had broken her vow for.When Kiandra and Lucas got i
“Like mother like daughter,” Dolores remarked after Kiandra was done telling her the dynamic of her and Lucas' relationship. Just like Olivia had come between her and Tyrone, her daughter Daira had done the same to Lucas and Kiandra.She had taught her son on how to take responsibility and she was sure that if Daira hadn't heard and deleted the conversation between herself and Kiandra, Lucas wouldn't have allowed Kiandra and Zendaya to go through all that they went through.He would have taken responsibility and there was a high chance he would have made Kiandra his wife to give his daughter a legitimate status."It's a shame, the girl is dead. I would have really loved to meet her," Dolores stated with an evil glint that Kiandra recognized all too well as Lucas usually had that same glint whenever he meant no good."I'm glad however that you two are finally together and not only for the sake of your daughter but because you two love each other," she said and Kiandra smiled in happin
"But why? I know you're mad at me for exchanging you but you have to agree that I never mistreated you for once," Olivia stated and Belle smiled bitterly."That was because I was your pawn in remaining my father's wife. You knew that the moment you started to maltreat me, he wouldn't hesitate to divorce you," Belle saw right through Olivia's facade and that was the truth as Olivia couldn't speak."Besides you never did anything special for me, so don't even try to use that," Belle stated. "Not only did you separate me from my mom, you kidnapped her and tortured her for over twenty years. Well I hope you'll be pleased to know that she has regained her memories and I don't have to say what that means for you.""No!" Olivia yelled and she grabbed Belle by the hand. "You can't leave me alone. Save me please," she yelled.Belle looked around and saw that people had recognized her and they had already brought out their phone to record them."Let me go, Olivia," Belle demanded and she shook
Kiandra noticed that they were in their school uniforms. “You two should get going to school so you don’t get there late,” she said. “Have you had breakfast?” she asked.“Yeah we had it before coming to meet you. We wanted to wish you before leaving but you didn’t want to wake up,” Levi exasperated and Kiandra had to look away so he wouldn’t see the smile that appeared on her lips. “Go get your bags and wait for me downstairs, let me get dressed so I can take you to school,” Lucas said to get Levi to stop asking about the question as he knew his son would start enquiring about why they didn’t get up early.The two children immediately left the room and Kiandra turned to face him. "Not letting the driver take them today?" She jested."You knew what would have happened if I hadn't distracted him," Lucas retorted. He then headed into the bathroom to wash his face and headed out.After he dropped his children, he decided to visit a place he hadn't been to in over eleven years. When he got
For those who are saying the book is going slowly, Kiandra and Lucas' story is over. The chapters after that are just a sneak peak into the love story that will happen in the next book.****That night after dinner, Lucas headed to his study to work while the rest of his family went to bed. He didn't know for how long he had worked for but he took his eyes off his laptop screen when he heard his phone ring.Upon turning, he found that it was Spider who was calling him. He immediately answered the call and Spider informed him that he had found out who it was that was disturbing Zendaya and he had sent his details to Lucas.Lucas immediately disconnected the call and proceeded to check what Spider had sent to him. The boy was the son of a politician according to what he was reading."I hope you're not thinking of doing anything to the boy?" Came the voice of Kiandra and when he looked up, he found her leaning on the door. When did she even enter?"He troubled Zendaya," Lucas said and Ki
A few minutes passed and detention was over. Zendaya immediately shot up from her seat, picked up her phone and left. "Hey man, that was sick," one of the bully's friends said to him just as Jayden passed by them. He too picked up his phone and left. By the time he got out of the school, Zendaya had already left with her driver and when he looked around, he found his driver waiting for him. Knowing his sister, he knew she would have gotten a ride with Anaya. After all, they lived in the same place. Jayden immediately entered his car. However instead of the driver driving off, he instructed the driver to get out of the car as he would be driving himself home since he already had his driver's license.The driver immediately did as the young master wanted but he immediately proceeded to call his boss to inform him that their son was acting up again. Jayden waited for some time before starting the car and driving off. Instead of him heading home, he headed to a local alley as he knew
"Stop calling me clownhead," Zendaya snapped in irritation. The name irked her as he started calling her that due to her losing a bet and he painting her face like a clown. Remembering that she didn't have much time to get to class, she turned to go but just as she did, the bell rang and she was officially late."No!" She exclaimed and she started running. Meanwhile, Jayden, not caring about the time, put his hand in his pocket and he casually made his way to his class.After climbing the stairs, he was met by the principal and beside her was an angry Zendaya."How many days is it this time?" Jayden asked casually as he really didn't care."One day and dress properly, Mr Gerano," the principal sighed in resignation. There just wasn't any changing this stubborn student of her"You two get to class," she ordered and Zendaya bolted out of there while Jayden did the opposite.When Zendaya got to class, her teacher had already started teaching. "Late again, Miss Valencia," the woman lif
"Hey Zendaya,” a young teenage girl greeted as she reached a locker where another girl who was about her age was standing. The girl who had been greeted closed the locker and she smiled at the person who had greeted her. "Hey Anaya, where's Juliette?" She asked."There she is," Anaya pointed and Juliette turned to the direction where Anaya pointed to and she saw Juliette approaching them with an annoyed expression on her face."Who got you so mad so early in the morning?" Anaya asked casually as she rested on one of the lockers."Jayden. Having an elder brother like him is the worst," Juliette complained as she opened her own locker which was beside Anaya's."What did he do this time?" Zendaya inquired and she rolled her eyes as she could already tell it would be one annoying thing."My parents aren't around as they each went on a business trip yesterday evening and they put him in charge," Juliette answered and Anaya laughed as she realized it would be a disaster. Out of the three
Kiandra herself wasn't ready to meet the man who had abandoned her when her mother was unable to terminate the pregnancy. He had made it clear he didn't want to have anything to do with her and so, she was respecting his decision.Kiandra shook her head to get rid of such useless thoughts especially on her big day. She stared at her reflection in the mirror and she smiled as she looked beautiful."Mummy, you look beautiful in your white dress," Zendaya said to her mother who was currently sitting and waiting for the wedding to start."Thank you," Kiandra replied and she kissed Zendaya on her forehead. Seeing that what she had come there to tell her mother had been done, she left the room to go meet her grandmother and aunt who were now her friends."You deserve all the happiness in the world," Samantha who had been in the room said as she wiped her tears before they fell as she didn't want to ruin her makeup.She had watched Kiandra grow up too soon and just when she managed to get o
"It's good to hear," Lucas commented."Too bad I won't get to see the drama that's going to happen," she said sadly but Lucas could see that she was excited.He was happy that she wasn't beating herself down over people who didn't deserve it. Besides, she already had her own family who loved her and that was enough for her."Your mom wants the wedding to happen as soon as possible," Kiandra told Lucas as they drove back home. "Really?" Lucas asked and she nodded. "What do you want?" He asked as her wants were greater than what his mother wanted after all, Kiandra was the one who was getting married."Mrs Valencia sounds really nice and I finally get to discard Aidan as my last name," she said nostalgically and it made Lucas smile to see that she was looking forward to becoming his wife."Big or small?" He asked her."Big," Kiandra threw her hands up. "So everyone can see it and eat it up."Lucas shook his head as he knew that his mother had played a part in influencing Kiandra to hav
"Call the workers and tell them if they don't fix it by the end of the day, they are going to lose their jobs," Lucas was saying to his new secretary when the door to his office was flung open and Belle walked in."Do that and let me know what they say," he said and he dismissed the secretary."Brother," Belle called excitedly after the secretary left and she rushed to hug him. "I have no money to give you neither am I getting you the latest designer bag or dress," Lucas immediately stated as he knew Belle didn't act this way unless she wanted something."It's not that. Liam told me you two are no longer fighting," Belle said. After the truth about her and Liam came out, he told her that there was no point in her staying away from him and he requested that she move to his house.When he got back home the previous night, he told her that Lucas had finally accepted the relationship between he and her, a news which made Belle beyond elated as that meant her brother and Liam had made up.
"Why are you sounding so excited?" Lucas chuckled."Because you're old and should have already been married," Dolores exasperated."Mom, I'm only twenty eight," Lucas argued."Your father got married at the age of twenty five," Dolores pointed out. "Now that you've popped the question, it's time for me to start planning the wedding," she said."Mom," Lucas called as he rubbed his forehead. "I don't think I want a big wedding,” he said and there was silence on the line for a few seconds. "Mom," he called when she didn't say anything."I can't wait to plan your "big" wedding," Dolores stated as though she hadn't heard anything that Lucas said."Mom, I said I…." Lucas started but Dolores immediately disconnected the call on him as she didn't want to hear what he was going to say next.Lucas shook his head as he knew his mother wasn't going to listen to him on this and if Kiandra actually wanted a huge wedding then he would have no choice but to accept it as well.Speaking of Kiandra, she
