2024-10-29 19:42:56After the tensed breakfast, Lucien left with a grim disposition, which doesn't bother her at all. She was even hoping, he won't show up later at lunch.
It's still early in the morning but she had already enough of him. Meeting him at lunch later would be too much in addition to his sister and worst, Ellen Johnson. Why did she put herself in this predicament again, she could simply say no. Dom had given her the chance to decide last night but she was so dumb by choosing to stay.Donned on a white sleeveless jumpsuit and a white strappy three-inch high heel, she went out of the door where Dom was already waiting."Gorgeous as always" he exclaims, clapping his hands together in delight. Scrutinizing her look, he made her turn on her heels while holding her one hand up. She just tie her long brown hair in a ponytail."Are you trying to impress someone?" he playfully whispers, arching his brow." Shut up, Dom. This was your gift to me last Christ

Returning to the hotel, her mind was still filled with the conversation she had with Ellen Johnson. She can't believe the revelations from the woman and it confuses her more. Even Dom heard everything after he guarded the door and send people away who wanted to enter.It can't be true what Ellen Johnson told her. Lucien Wright was a very virile man when they were together. It can't be possible he has erectile dysfunction like Ellen claims him to be."Don't mind what that deranged woman said. She has motives for doing it" she was interrupted by Dom's voice and by then she realized they were in front of her room."I still can't believe she could be deceptive just to get what she wants. She was bent to ruin someone for her ambition" she whispers in disbelief."There are a lot of people like her, Lexie. Controlled by greed and ambition. Go inside, it's almost dawn. We need to rest" Dom softly explains while pressing a kiss on her forehead."Don't think too

Entering the building, she went directly to the reception."Good morning, could I please have an appointment with CEO Lucien Wright?" she calmly said, which earned her a raised brow from the two women behind the desk."Can I have your name, purpose of appointment, and contact number, Ma'am? I will get back to you once the CEO's secretary confirms your appointment" one of the women gave her a piece of paper, sporting a serious look."I'm sorry, but can I please see him now? It's just very important" she insisted, ignoring the scornful look on the women's faces."I'm sorry ma'am but everyone wanting to have an appointment with the CEO has urgent and important matters too" the woman casually retorted before going back to what she was doing."Please, Miss. It won't take long. I just want to talk to him then I'm off. Please tell him it's Alexzia Montes" she persisted. She can't leave without talking to Lucien Wright. She can't back down now."Miss Montes, the CEO

He rushed to the couch and carefully placed Zia who did not stir."Hey..." ever so softly he tried to wake her up, caressing her cheek. Seeing her ashen face, he clenched his jaw. She fainted from hunger and it's making his blood boil."Mr. Wright..." a knock sounded at the door followed by a hesitant voice."Come in" he snapped."The aromatic ammonia, Mr. Wright" one of his secretaries is nervously handing a small bottle, which he readily accepted."Leave" he ordered, making the woman scurried to the door.After they were left alone, he put the small bottle near her nose.

Lucien Wright's intense gaze is adding to her anxiousness."Of course, my love.

"I thought you doesn't want us near you at school?" Lucy suspiciously asks."What happened, Lissie? Is someone bothering you?

Determining the gender of their fourth baby is an intimate event for Lexie and Lucien. Like her two previous pregnancies, they never did a gender reveal party. They both prefer it to be just between the family."Mama, I'm excited to know our baby" Xander whispers in his mother's ear while seated near her head. Lexie is already lying to undergo an ultrasound. "Yes, baby love. We will meet our new baby later" Lexie whispers and peck a kiss on her youngest's forehead. "I'm still a baby?" Xander softly asks. Insecurity reflects on his face. "Of course, my love. Lucy, Alek, and Xander will always be Mama and papa's babies. We will just have another baby love but we love you all equally" Lexie was surprised.

After the conference at the principal's office, all parties departed with an amicable settlement. Alek was somehow pacified by the assurance from the parents of the three boys. But not before he made another warning."You three must tell everyone around here that I won't be tolerant of any provocation. You all heed my warning or I will deal with all of you myself" Alek's last words to the boys who fearfully nod at him. He even coldly glares at them before turning away to join their parents who are still in conversation with the other parents and the principal."Lucy and Alek beat those boys?" Lucien asks the head security of his sons after he stayed outside to give his instructions. The boys were already with their mother inside the vehicle."Yes, boss. The food tray did the trick. The school might reconsider using those food trays and might regard them as deadly for the children" Allen proudly and amusingly relayed to Lucien. Lucien stares at his man, trying to imagine what his s
