“We’re here, sir,” The driver informed Lucas, and he looked up from the file he had been reading ever since they left his company.

He looked at his watch and saw that they were way ahead of time, which meant that he didn’t have to worry about meeting Daira.

She didn't like coming to her family's company which meant she would arrive about an hour later just to see him.

He opened the door and got out, and so did Kiandra. She looked at the building which stood tall just like the rest of the buildings surrounding it.

“Can you tell me what the meeting is about, so I won’t embarrass myself,” she requested as they headed into the building.

There was no information about it when she checked the schedule and so, she was clueless as to what the meeting was all about.

“It’s a personal meeting and not a business meeting, so you don’t have to worry about anything as you won’t be asked anything,” Lucas answered her.

The receptionist didn't bother stopping Lucas as he wasn't a stranger. He already

    She immediately headed to the elevator and as soon as it opened, she felt someone push her gently into the elevator. She turned and saw that it was Daira who had pushed her. The latter then pushed a button that turned off the power to the elevator. This was what she was talking about. She wasn’t ready to become enemies with someone over Lucas.“I’m sorry I pushed you,” Daira apologized, shocking Kiandra. “I want to talk to you,” she started.“Listen, I’m sorry for the way Lucas spoke to you. I’m his executive assistant and there’s nothing more than that,” Kiandra quickly explained.“Calm down, I’m not here to fight with you,” Daira chuckled, and Kiandra squinted her eyes at her as she wasn’t quite convinced. “I trust Lucas, so you don’t have to worry.”“So, why are you here?” Kiandra probed.“Lucas is someone who likes to keep to himself and it takes a toll on his health, thus causing people like me who care about him to worry unnecessarily,” Daira started.“I have a small request fr

    “We’re being followed,” Lucas answered, and he brought out his phone to call someone. He had noticed the black car as soon as they left the construction site, but he had ignored it at first. However, in order to be safer than sorry, he informed his head of security about the situation right there and then, even though it was just a gut feeling.However, after thirty minutes of traveling, he was convinced that they were being followed as the car didn't overtake them despite being so close to them and it took the turns they did.This wasn’t a new thing to him, as his life was always in danger. One person or another was always trying to kill him for things he might have done. He immediately texted Spider the plate number of the car so the latter could begin his investigation, and he also informed him of the situation, so his head of security could swing into action and find the idiot who was behind this.“What do you mean, why are we being followed?” Kiandra asked worriedly as she look

    Lucas picked up his phone, which had fallen when the car crashed. Thankfully, it was still in good condition and he called Spider.“I’m close to dying here. Where the hell are you?” He asked in annoyance.“We’ve already got your location sir, and we’re close,” Spider responded and Lucas heard him telling the driver to step on it.“We don’t have that much time again,” Lucas said, and as he spoke, the window on the side where Kiandra was sitting finally broke.The man who had asked for her immediately unlocked the door and dragged her out. ‘Fuck!’ Lucas cursed, and he unlocked his own side and got out.The men immediately pointed their guns at him. “Either way, you were going to die, but we would have given you an easy death if you had made our job easy.”“Let her go!” Lucas growled in a low voice as he didn't appreciate the man touching Kiandra.“Don’t worry, we’ll kill her after we’re done with her,” the leader chuckled. “I and my men will have fun with her,” he said as he used his gu

    The ride back to the city was silent as Kiandra was too shaken to say anything and Lucas wanted to give her time to process what she had witnessed.Kiandra could still see the pool of blood and the sight of those dead bodies. The one that affected her the most was the dead body of the man who had tried to kill her.It was so easy to take a life and Lucas was an expert in taking people's lives. She glanced at him and saw that he was focused on the road. He didn't even look bothered or agitated at what had just happened.Was this how calm he was when he sent that man to kill Zendaya? She wondered.“Did you really have to kill them?” Kiandra asked in a low voice, breaking the silence between them.“Huh?” Lucas replied, as he didn’t hear what she said.“Did you really have to kill them?” Kiandra repeated, her voice louder this time.Lucas glanced at her for a second before returning his gaze to the road. “What did you think I was going to do to the people who tried to kill me and you?” he

    “Can you stop referring to me as though I’m an object you own,” she requested.“No. As I said earlier, you’re my toy and I'll refer to you as such” Lucas retorted. “Besides, if something happens to you, who will amuse me like you do?” he asked and Kiandra grew further irritated.“Pull over!” she snapped in anger.“No, toy,” Lucas deadpanned, further annoying her. “I have to make sure you get home safely.”“So your personal amusement and money do not go to waste,” Kiandra replied sarcastically, and Lucas nodded in agreement.“You can’t take me home, as I have to pick up my daughter,” Kiandra told him as she was tired of arguing with him. It would only lead to her getting upset.“She’s with your friend?” Lucas asked and Kiandra nodded.Lucas then pulled over and brought out his phone to check something. Kiandra didn’t bother with him and she looked outside the window. She turned when he started the car again. Her eyes fell on the screen in the car and her eyes widened with shock when s

    Lucas arrived at his destination and the gates slowly opened as the guards recognized the car.Ignoring the greetings from the guards, he drove the car past the gates, and soon after, he parked it in front of the warehouse.Upon getting down, he was met by Spider who had been waiting for his arrival. "Has everything been taken care of?" Lucas asked, referring to the men he had ordered them to kill."Yes sir, everything has been taken care of," Spider answered and Lucas started to walk into the building. The building looked like a warehouse outside, but only those who walked there actually knew that it wasn’t. Hence, the reason why it was located on the outskirt of the city where it wasn't easy for anyone to access.It was Lucas’ den for torturing those who crossed him. No one who had made it there ever made it out alive. Lucas let Spider lead to the way to where his special prisoner was being kept. Spider could feel the dangerous aura Lucas emitted and he could tell it was going to

    Kiandra took a deep breath and she rubbed her temples with her fingers. Even though Zendaya didn’t mention it all the time, Kiandra knew her daughter was curious about why she had no father. Kiandra had never explained to Zendaya about her father, mainly because she couldn’t explain to her daughter that her father tried to kill her and also because she didn’t want to lie to her daughter about Lucas.When the time came, she would tell her daughter the truth and let her decide what she wanted to do.So Zendaya didn’t want to go to daycare because she felt intimidated by those who had fathers. She would have to talk to her daughter about this and manage to make Zendaya get over her fear.Taking another deep breath, she walked out of the room and went to meet Zendaya, who had taken her seat at the dining table.She then proceeded to serve her food, after which she sat down beside her. “Hey, do you want to talk about it?” she asked her daughter in a calm voice.“No,” Zendaya answered, sha

    ****Thirty minutes earlier. Zendaya watched as her mother worked on the computer in boredom. She would have gone to her if not for the fact that she was scared of her mother sending her to the hospital.She didn’t like going to the hospital because of the doctors, nurses and injections they always gave her whenever she landed there. Zendaya opened her mouth to tell her mother that she was bored but her mother was busy and she didn't want to go to the hospital.An idea suddenly popped into her head. She quietly got down from her seat and tiptoed to the door. Zendaya looked back to see if her mother noticed her at the door but Kiandra was so engrossed in her work and the fact that there was a huge computer screen in her front only obstructed her.Zendaya saw that the door handle was higher than her reach, and so she quickly went back to get her lunch box. Her growth was affected due to what had happened to Kiandra while she was still in the womb and so, she was smaller than an averag

    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

    "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.

    "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.

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

    "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.
