View MoreLucas made his proposal to Adrian Peele, the founder of the Peele.Co, he wanted Adrian Peele to transfer his fifteen percent of shares that he had in the Anderson Co. business to him in exchange of a deal that he knew that he could not refuse. He was going to agree to a franchise that Peele had wanted for decades. They wanted a franchise to create an hotel where the both of them, giants in the industries would create the biggest and the largest hotel in all of mankind but there was a problem, the proposed bit of land they were going to use for the Project belonged to the Andersons and Darcy had refused to release it all these years.“On one condition,” Lucas hand tensed, causing him to stop the talking. He had planned this carefully and he was sure that Adrian was going to agree without second thoughts but when Adrian had opted for a condition, uncertainty crept up his mind.“What condition,” Lucas asked, still maintaining his composure, with hope that it wouldn’t be anything too gra
Lucas and Emma had arrived at the Peele hotel where the meeting was going to be held. They were going over the documents for presentation at the meeting when Emma realized that some important pages of the document were missing.“I warned you Emma, I warned you, where are the documents!!!” Lucas was seething at this point. The meeting was very crucial to him if he wanted to be free of Darcy’s control and finally take over the Anderson’s corporation.Emma had her hands behind her back as she tried to assess the severity of the situation. She was sure that she had crosschecked multiple times before they had left the company and everything was complete. Emma ransacked her bag searching for the missing pages well aware of Lucas’s glares following her every move.Lucas moved dangerously close to Emma, his mind in distress. The Peele deal was a very crucial step and it took him so many months to set up the meeting but it was about to be in vain.Emma felt Lucas’s hot breath glide across th
The phone rang again this time causing Emma to jolt from her sleep, she was still half asleep but reluctantly answered the call.“Emma, where are you?” Nathan was genuinely concerned for Emma, this was a first, she was always early.Emma's eyes widened and she scanned her room taking in her surroundings.“Emma…” Nathan had a strange feeling at this moment, because Emma wasn't responding.“Shit, I'm late,” Emma scurried across her room as she tried to get ready quickly.Nathan's laugh reverberated through the call.“Not funny Nathan,” Emma was miserable enough, staring at her reflection in the mirror. Her hair was all over the place and she looked hideous, memories from last night started flooding in one by one. Her falling asleep, her nightmare, her hands on his waist, Lucas carried her in his arms, and his kiss on her forehead…just what had happened last night. “Well whatever you need to do to get here, do it fast, seems like your boss is on the look for you,” Nathan was passing by
Emma felt her heart drop as she heard the phone on her desk ring again for the umpteenth time that morning.She answered on the first ring, “Sir,” but there was no response till she heard the cold voice that ran shivers through her spine.“Where are you?” he was already annoyed and Emma could sense it. It was clear as day and Emma knew she had to be careful when responding.“At the office,” She tried so hard to sound confident so he couldn't sense the fear in her voice.“And what about the documents i asked you to bring thirty minutes ago,” Lucas had an octave in his, he was really getting angry,
“Uhhh… how dare she!!! Carla screeched as she slammed the door behind her.”Mr Giovanni watched Carla throw a fit “What's wrong Princessa? Why are you in such a foul mood?” “Dad it's Lucas again, he went ahead and married that woman from nowhere.” Carla knew what she was doing, her dad hated to see her cry, and that was why she headed straight to his office. So this was the perfect plan for now. Mr. Giovanni continued signing papers when he suddenly paused “What—??” “Do you mean, he got married?” Mr. Giovanni replied, worrying clouding his face. “There was no way Lucas had gone behind their back and gotten married… ruining his plan for him to get married to his daughter, Carla so that he would finally get to take over the whole of the Andersons Co.”Mr Giovanni, still lost in thought, didn't realize that Carla was calling out for him. “What were you thinking about Dad, you didn't respond to my question.” Carla looked over to her Dad with raised eyebrows.Mr Giovanni shrugged off
Lucas spent an entire thirty minutes trying to convince his grandmother, Darcy, that Mia and Emma were two different persons.They were seated now but that didn't stop his Grandma from giving Emma side glances throughout the dinner, he even caught her glare at him.“How did you two meet,” Darcy suddenly asked.Emma panicked for a second. she wanted to ask Lucas what she was going to say if that question was thrown at her but he gave her the silent treatment throughout their ride here.Lucas turned to look at Emma, he gently took her hands in his and kissed them softly. “We met at a bar, one look at her and I knew she was the one for me,” he replied confidently, returning his gaze to his Grandmother.Emma lost herself in his act for a second, she would have believed him if she hadn't been entangled in everything, she wasn't prepared for all that was happening.“Hmmm, A bar really… And you already got married,” Darcy scoffed, pointing to the rings.“She’s the one for me so I don't see a
Lucas was sipping his morning coffee as he stared at the message his Grandmother, Darcy had sent him. “Dear son, today is the dinner, remember to bring your wife, see you soon,” Lucas chuckled at his grandmother’s choice ofwords.He knew that she must have been dying of curiosity to know whether he was truly married or he was just making up lies so that he wouldn't get married to Carla. She may even be monitoring him now.He stayed with her for more than twenty years so he could naturally predict her entire movements now, she was his Grandmother after all.He was now standing in front of his full-height mirror, he made sure he had the mirror installed in every house that he owned. A normal person would think that he was just gazing at the city and its beautiful skyline but he was just reliving his memory of Mia running out of the mansion seven years ago. Why didn't he stop her?But now his thoughts were filled with Emma, how was she going to cope with his Grandma's tantrums? Becau
Chapter 6: After the weddingAmusement flickered in Lucas's eyes as he reminisced about Emma’s reaction to discovering he had booked the entire hotel for the wedding. He couldn't risk anyone finding out the truth about the wedding.They both walked through the hotel corridor, as they headed toward their room. Lucas watched Emma carefully as she dragged herself beside him. “she must have been tired from all they did today.” he pondered, feeling a little guilty.They arrived at the penthouse and Lucas was about to use the key card when Emma suddenly asked “ Where do I sleep?”“On a bed, where else,” Lucas replied as he opened the door to the penthouse. He glanced over at Emma as he watched her eyes widen in shock till worry was etched all over her face.Don’t worry, I asked for two beds,” Lucas stated, closing the door.Emma exhaled the breath she'd been holding, uncertain of how she'd bear sharing a room with him for the night.“And rest assured, nothing will ever happen between us,”
“Errr…Excuse me…” the make-up artist said to Emma pulling her from her daydream.“You look so beautiful,” She announced, giving her chair a swirl so she was face-to-face with Lucas.“What do you think?” She asked Lucas.“It's okay,” Lucas replied, not missing a beat, his face as stoic as ever.“Just okay…, I guess” the make-up artist mumbled.Emma stared into the eyes of the man that she was going to be getting married to in a few hours. Her thoughts and emotions were all over the place. Never in her life did she ever imagine that this day would come.“How did she even get here,” Emma pondered.Earlier that day…Emma was applying moisturizer when her phone popped up revealing a message from an unknown number.She read through the message and she knew who exactly sent it. It was her boss, Lucas Anderson.“Emma, I need you to come see me at the Anderson estate. There's something we need to discuss.”“What,” She shrieked, knocking over the tube of moisturizer in the process. “Why did he

But this year was no different, he wasn't going anywhere."Toss it in the trash," Lucas said to Jacob not even sparing the invitation a glance. "Sir, please take a look at it. It's different," Jacob responded, fear evident on his face.Jacob knew how much his boss hated it when he was told what to do, he would have gone ahead and tossed it in the trash if not for the call he had received that told him to make sure that Lucas read...
