As soon as he left the room, he received a call from Spider and he answered it. "What is it?" He asked."Olivia went to see Daira and after that, she went to see one of your enemies who has been out to get you," Spider informed Lucas."As expected," Lucas smiled. "Find out what they are planning," he instructed Spider."There's one more thing," Spider said before Lucas could hang up."Go on," Lucas urged him."She visited a house which was on the outskirts and she got very angry when she found no one inside the house," Spider informed him. "I would have asked the neighbors some questions but there were none as the houses had been abandoned.""Seems suspicious. Assign some investigators to the place so they can check it out," Lucas instructed."Also, I need you to get me a phone for Kiandra and also two cars for her.""When's the deadline?" Spider probed."I want the phone by today and the cars as soon as possible," he told Spider and disconnected the call.Spider had access to one o
Kiandra opened her mouth to speak but she couldn't find the right words to say. She knew how Lucas felt about her but hearing him say it again made her speechless.Lucas moved closer to her and he pulled her in his arms. "I know you feel the same way about me. So please don't let your fears stop you from finally getting the happiness you deserve," he told her."We can't say what will happen tomorrow," Kiandra said persistently."So why not take that risk," Lucas argued, not wanting to lose to her."Because I'll kill you if you hurt me again and I don't want to go back to jail," Kiandra stated and he chuckled."You're more than free to do so," he said and tired of wasting time, he leaned in and captured her lips. Kiandra immediately wrapped his hands around his back and she gripped his shirt tightly.It had been five years since she got this close to him or any man. She wasn't unable to get close to any man as apart from her fear of getting pregnant again, she was unable to get Lucas o
Kiandra's back touched the bed and she kissed Lucas back. As she kissed him, she used her hand to touch his chest which felt like a rock.Damn! She exclaimed in her head and her hands went to his back which had veins popping out of it. "How about I run my hands over your own body as well?" Lucas broke the kiss and before Kiandra could respond, his hands went to her breast and he squeezed it causing her to inhale sharply."Lucas!" She moaned when he squeezed it again."Fuck!" Lucas cursed as her mound felt warm in his hands. She was still wearing her nightgown which was very thin. Not wanting anything to come between them, he tugged the gown and tore it off her body.Kiandra's hand immediately moved to cover herself as she was shy even though she had slept with him before.Lucas chuckled and he removed both her hands and placed them above her head, holding it firmly so she wouldn't escape."Lucas," Kiandra called in a hoarse voice and her cheeks became heated with the way Lucas was st
When Kiandra came back into the room, Lucas had left and this made her sigh in relief as she would be able to dress in peace without having to deal with him.She saw the clothes he had picked up and it was a jogger and a big hoodie. She smiled as she had to admit that Lucas had a great fashion sense especially with all those looks he served even while in a suit.As soon as she got dressed, she walked out of his room and into hers to take care of her hair. She wasn't ready to put much effort into it and so, she just tied it into a messy bun after which she headed down to eat as she was starving.As soon as she got there, the helpers bowed to her and this made her feel a bit weird as she wasn't used to it but she knew Lucas was behind it and there was no changing his mind about it."Where's Lucas?" She asked the head helper."He is in the study, ma'am," the helper told her and she nodded. "Excuse me," she said and she headed straight to the study. When she entered to meet Lucas, she f
"Ma'am wait," the guard tried to stop Kiandra but it was too late as she was already out of the car.The guard quickly opened the door and went after Kiandra who was going after someone.The remaining two cars which had been following theirs, also stopped and they immediately got out of their cars to protect Kiandra.Kiandra watched the woman take a turn and she followed her while calling after her. When she turned as well, she saw that the woman had gone into an alley."Excuse me," Kiandra called and the woman finally turned to face her."Ma'am, you shouldn't be here, it's dangerous for you," The guard stated and as soon as the woman saw the guard, she panicked and picked up a stick that was lying on the floor."No," Kiandra yelled but it was too late as the woman had already swung the stick at the guard who easily caught it. It would be an insult to Lucas if the guard he had hired to protect Kiandra could be easily defeated by that attempt."Ma'am, we should go,” the guard told Kian
Lucas was beyond shocked and utterly confused as to how the woman he thought was dead was sitting in front of him.She however looked like the shell of her former self. She looked malnourished and he could see her bones sticking out. Her eyes had bags under them and her skin wasn’t the smooth skin he knew.If someone saw her former self and compared it to the woman who was sitting in front of him, they wouldn’t be able to recognize that they were the same person but he recognized her instantly as she was his family.“Do you know me?” Dolores asked as she stared at the man who was standing in front of her. Lucas immediately got closer to her and he got down on one knee. “Mom, don’t you remember your son?” he asked in a sad voice. Even though Kiandra had told him that she didn’t remember anything, he didn’t want to believe his mother had forgotten him. Before Belle, Kiandra and Zendaya came into his life, his mother was the most important woman to him.“I’m sorry, I don’t remember you
“Your real mother is alive. Come over and meet her,” Lucas informed her not bothering to mince words.“What?!” Belle exclaimed in shock. Everyone including Lucas knew that their mother was dead. So why was he playing such an expensive joke on her despite her knowing she was sad about not ever meeting Dolores. “Lucas, are you playing with me?” she asked.“I don’t joking. If you want to meet her then come to my house. If not, don't bother crying to me later about missing out on your second chance to meet you mother,” he said and disconnected the call.“Who did you call?” his mother inquired.“Your husband and daughter,” he answered her and he watched Dolores' eyes widen in shock over the revelation.She really didn't remember a single thing about her life.****He remembered it like it had just happened yesterday, when Dolores found out he had slept with Olivia. It was one of those memories that forever haunted him.It happened while he was out at a business party. She had warned him n
"My name is Tyrone," he introduced himself and Dolores nodded."Are you my husband?" She asked and Tyrone nodded in affirmation. Dolores tried to remember him but she got nothing and it was becoming frustrating to her as she wanted to remember who they were. "Lucas said you thought I was dead because I got into a car accident,” she stated and Tyrone nodded once again as she stared at her intently. He was afraid that if he took his eyes off her, she would leave him once again.“Why are you looking at me like that?” Dolores asked him.“Because for over twenty years, I hope you would somehow return to me and now that you are finally here, I’m afraid it’s a dream which I’m going to wake up from,” he told her as he touched her cheek gently and started stroking it with his finger.His wife was really back and here in front of him. This wasn’t a dream, he smiled to himself. “You know you may not remember this, but our daughter whom we thought died, was alive,” he revealed to her.Ever since
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
