"Zendaya, wait" Lucas called as he followed her out of the room.Zendaya however didn't stop as she started walking up the stairs. "Zendaya, it's time for dinner," Lucas told her when he saw her heading to her room."I want my mummy!" Zendaya replied and she continued to walk. Lucas could have easily caught her but he didn't as he didn't want to frighten the little girl.He was already troubled by Zendaya telling him she hated him. There was nothing more he wanted from the little girl to call him 'dad.'She couldn't hate him as he would never allow it.Lucas followed her all the way to her room and when Zendaya was about to close the door, he caught it and entered the room. "Zendaya please stop being stubborn and come and have your dinner.""You're a bad person and you lied to me!" Zendaya repeated. "You said you wanted to marry my mummy but that's not going to happen as you're marrying someone else!”"I do plan on marrying your mummy. It's just a bit complicated and you won't be able
Prison was enough to mess with anyone’s head, and for Kiandra who had been assaulted and then jolted by Lucas there was no escaping it.Who Liam saw sitting in front of him wasn’t Kiandra but an empty shell who was simply existing. Even though she was looking at them, her mind wasn’t with them.It seemed Lucas was the person she was holding on to and him doing what he did made her slip into that hole. “Kiandra, are you here with me?” Liam asked even though he knew that she wasn’t.“Yes sure, I’m with you,” she answered and gave him a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.“You’ll be out of here soon,” Liam assured her. “Oh okay,” Kiandra repeated and this time, Belle shifted uncomfortably in her spot as she too realized Kiandra wasn’t herself. “Zendaya is recovering well,” Belle said this time in order to get Kiandra to talk. Kiandra loved her daughter very much and so at the mention of Zendaya, she was definitely going to react.“That’s good,” Kiandra simply replied. She was getting so
"W-what are you saying?" Olivia asked. She was in shock and couldn't believe that her secret was out in the open.She had managed to protect it and get rid of all the links to it so how did Lucas find out about it?Tyrone's eyes fell on Daira's father and the latter quickly avoided the former's eyes as he didn't know how to face him after his affair with Olivia was out in the open.Lucas looked at his stepmother and he wished to kill her slowly and painfully. He had watched his mother break down after losing her daughter and her condition became even worse after Olivia came to rub it in that her own daughter had survived.His mom had just suffered for nothing as it was Olivia's real daughter that died. If Olivia hadn't gotten rid of the nurse who switched the babies then she would have been the first to go.Who knew the guard they had captured had dug up a lot of dirt on Olivia Upon inquiry as to how he figured out who Daira was, the guard confessed that he had eavesdropped and record
Kiandra looked back multiple times to make sure she wasn’t being followed. She hadn’t planned to run away initially but thinking about having to deal with everyone was suffocating for her and so she immediately took advantage when Spider took his eyes off her to escape.“If anyone asks for me, please tell them I went to the restroom,” she told the man in front of her and without wasting time, she found an employee and got out through the backdoor.She knew it was only a matter of time before she was found but that didn’t stop her from running. Thankfully she still had the five hundred dollars Spider had given her. She didn’t stop moving while trying to find a taxi. She kept running and she reached a bend and without stopping, she ran but she collided with someone who was running and also coming out of the bend. “Aw,” Kiandra groaned in pain and she looked at the person she had collided with. The person was a woman and she seemed to be in her forties or was it fifties? Kiandra wondere
“Kiandra,” Lucas called but she had already closed her eyes to go back to sleep. That was it! He was done being nice to her. He wanted his Kiandra back and acting nice wasn’t going to help.Not bothering to say anything else, he walked over to the bed and carried her up. This made Kiandra open her eyes and stare at him in shock. “What are you doing? Put me down!” she said and for a second, Lucas saw the anger he was used to in her eyes. “No,” Lucas answered and he started walking towards the door. “If you try to struggle, I’ll drop you,” he threatened.“Fine, do whatever you want,” Kiandra replied in that annoyingly calm voice. He walked out of the room and down to his car. Spider, who had been waiting, immediately got out of his car and opened the car door for Lucas.Lucas placed Kiandra on the front passenger seat after which he helped her with her seatbelt. After making sure she was secured, he closed the door and headed for the driver’s seat.When he entered the driver's seat he
"Alright, let's get you ready for school," Kiandra agreed and she got off the bed. She firstly helped Zendaya to take her bath after which she dressed her up.It was in the middle of her braiding Zendaya's hair that there was a knock on the door. "Go see who it is," Kiandra told her daughter who immediately rushed over to the door.When Zendaya opened the door, she came face to face with Lucas who was already dressed to go out. "I came to wake you up for school," he told Zendaya and his eyes then fell on Kiandra.She gave him a slight smile before going back to her daughter’s hair. When she was done, Zendaya jumped down from the seat and she grabbed her bag. “Will you be dropping her?” Kiandra asked and Lucas nodded. This was a good time for him to try and bond with his daughter.“Good luck honey,” Kiandra wished Zendaya and the latter turned to look at her mother with a frown as though she didn't like what her mother said.“Are you not coming?” she asked.“No I want to go back to sl
Belle turned to look at Lucas before turning back to face the river. “What are you doing here?” She asked.“Well, dad sent me to look for you as he was worried about you,” Lucas answered. “Of course, only dad was worried about me,” Belle scoffed and Lucas squinted his eyes to look at his sister.“Was I supposed to be worried?” he asked as he took his seat on a rock beside Belle.“Would it kill you to admit for once in your life that you care for me?” Belle fired at Lucas. She had never in her twenty three years of life heard Lucas say he cared about her. Every time he saw her, he was either bullying her or getting her annoyed.“Do you want to hear me say that I care for you?” Lucas asked and Belle nodded in anticipation.“Too bad we always want things we can’t have,” Lucas said and Belle threw a pebble at him in annoyance. He however caught it in his hand and he threw it back at Belle. The stone hit her leg but it wasn't painful as Lucas didn't throw it with force.“One of these day
“You went to jail because of me,” Lucas stated in regret. He knew that it would take some time before Kiandra went back to her normal state.Even though she was talking more, he could still tell that her mind wasn’t fully there but at least she had started to recover and that was enough for him.“Hmm,” Kiandra agreed. “But at the same time, you aren’t responsible for their actions and decisions,” she stated. She didn’t have the energy to hate anyone mainly because her mind wasn’t allowing her to think too much about it.All she wanted to do was just to sleep as she was tired. It seems her body was finally breaking down from all the stress she had been through in the last five years starting from when she discovered that she was pregnant with Zendaya.She didn’t have the time to sit and think about it as she had to juggle school alongside a job and taking care of her child and it had been so until she met Lucas. Now that she didn’t have to worry about how she was going to take care of
