December 28, 2022. 1 Chapter only. If you are new to my books and if you prefer completed ones, I have seven other books that are completed. Just search my pen name to check the other books. Why don't I publish a book that is already completed on GN or any other reading platform? Serializing is the mantra of online reading platforms. In my case, I need to publish 25 days in a month, and 8 months in a year. Sorry, but I am just following my contract. Spoiler alert! Lucas met a special person here. The next update will be tomorrow afternoon. Again, I don't have a nanny until the 30th, so if I miss out, you know my hands are full.
In the middle of eating dinner, Jessica's eyes narrowed at Shantelle. Jealousy completely filled her heart. Everywhere Shantelle turned, the people gave her a smile. They respected her because she was Evan's partner - whatever was her relationship with Evan. They were already divorced, but they call
"You are going to be okay, Miss Turner. Don't worry. We are trained to cover trauma wounds such as this," said one security. "Trust me, this loss of blood is only minimal." Shantelle and Miguel also arrived at the ballroom entrance. Everyone saw how Jessica was bleeding in the arm. A knife was stic
The police eventually arrived, but because Evan was Evan, they agreed to evaluate both sides before taking anyone for questioning. Evan wanted to take the discussion in the other ballroom, but Shantelle said, "No, let everyone who has come out here stay." Shantelle glanced at those who had earlier
Just then, James returned with a laptop and a speaker. He placed it at the table meant to be the receiving area for the event. Seeing how they were ready to fry the Turners, Evan stood up and said, "But let's not waste any more of our precious time because we have a party to attend." Evan glowered
Mister Thompson, please! Please have mercy!" Jessica begged as the police dragged her in the lift's direction. She looked at the man one last time, but Evan gave no response. He only stood distantly while holding Shantelle's hand. Jessica reminded Evan of Nicole. When Nicole was Melody back in hig
Coincidentally, when Shantelle danced with Keith, the female vocalist sang a song somewhat related to their situation - a one-sided love. "That's awkward," Keith remarked. Still, he held Shantelle by the waist, and they began to sway to the music. Shantelle saw Karise glancing their way while sh
"Have you noticed how he is easily tired lately?" Evan asked while carrying Lucas into his designated room within the villa. Lucas and Shantelle were staying two nights with Evan that weekend. "He used to wait up for me, no matter how late I visited your house." Upon entering, Shantelle immediately
"I signed it!" She said out loud. Evan replied inside the bathroom, "Okay, I'll take it back after I shower." "Where? To your study? I can put it there," Shantelle said. There was a moment of silence, but eventually, Evan replied, "Okay, you know where the safe is." Shantelle walked into the b
"Fuck. Lucas is back?" Lewis indignantly turned to Lily and asked, "Do you know about this?" "Is Lucas really back, Lily?" Lily's mother also asked in shock. All her brothers, except for Liam, asked the same thing. Lily helplessly looked at Liam, and seeing her brother wasn't going to spill eithe
"The aortic stent graft collapse," Doctor Steven reported to the Wright family. "That caused him to faint. So, earlier, we inserted another stent, and he is under observation." "I feel that there is a but coming," Lily's oldest brother, Liam, predicted. Behind him, all of Lily's brothers were givin
"Mommy, are you okay? You have been staring into spaces lately," Aiden asked. Lily was helping her son with his homework. While Aiden wrote his answers in the book, Lily was in a daze. "Sorry, Buddy. Was thinking of something," Lily said. "Are you done?" "Almost. I'm so glad your mission got canc
Liam had introduced Jake to Lily as one of their new contractors. Often, Jake traveled to other cities to make proposals, hoping to get another project for the company. That was why he was in Lockwood. "Lily, my job here will be extended for another week," Jake revealed. "But I'll see you after th
"You know what, Lucas? You are insane!" Lily yelled, pulling her arm away from him. She did it so forcefully that the necklace around Lucas' neck bounced to reveal that golden tag with her name carved on it. Instantly, Lily stilled. Her heart skipped a beat while her eyes were glued to the pendant
"He is an important person who needs protection. It will be your primary responsibility to oversee his security," the major loudly said to Lily while they were on a military helicopter, flying ten thousand feet above the ground. This was one of those odd assignments. When Lily arrived at the mil
"Somebody has guilt written all over their face," Lily softly commented, seeing her oldest brother, Liam Wright, in the dining area of their home early that morning. If anyone knew about the arrival of one Lucas Thompson, her brother would be it. After all, Liam previously managed the joint business
“Lily? My favorite daughter in the world is back!” Lily’s mother, Scarlett, exclaimed. Lily could not help but roll her eyes at her mother’s remark. She responded, “Mom, you can’t have a favorite daughter. I am your only daughter!” Scarlett laughed. Lily’s father, Kaleb, who was sipping tea in th
Of course, what did she expect? He left her without saying anything. So now, he was practically denying their past relationship by pretending not to know her! The truth was, it stung a little. When he disappeared, Lily cried an ocean for him, yet this was how he treated her now? Then again, Lily s
