After 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 ChristFeeling exhausted from a mere lunch, Lexie went directly back to her room to take another shower.If not for Lucien's important meeting, he would surely continue pestering her. Thankfully he needs to go back to his office. He will also be having a site visit later in the evening, which immensely relieved her. She will have a peaceful night without the man.Despite the relief she feels, she cannot deny the heavy feeling nagging her. Knowing she won't be able to see him before leaving gives her that heaviness but she was trying to cast it aside. She doesn't want to entertain any thoughts aside from going home. She needs to go home.What pacified her was the thought of enjoying the night later with Dom.Dom and she planned to go out later and enjoy their last night in the capital. Tomorrow they will be leaving after breakfast to take their flight. She will leave the capital again and face her simple life in the village. She enjoys the g
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
With his grim but unremarkable expression, all his secretaries were on their feet seeing him come back with a woman in his arms."Bring me some inhaler" he ordered without looking at anyone.Ignoring the curious looks from his staff, he enters his office. 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. Just after a while, she started to stir."What have you gotten yourself into, Zia?" he murmurs while watching her li
"He will be prepared for the surgery. Blood and several physical tests will be performed to ensure his body could endure the procedure. The specialists have already been informed and we are waiting for the confirmation of their availability. The soonest we could perform the surgery, the better for his recovery. Hopefully, it will be in time for his tests to be released. Waiting could be crucial for his frail heart" the resident doctor carefully explains after Lexie had settled the surgery payment."Thank you, doctor. Please help us get the soonest schedule of the specialists" Lexie politely pleaded."Don't worry, ma'am. We are prioritizing the severity of the case and he is on the list" the young doctor warmly smiles."Thank you, doctor" she gratefully exclaims before he went out."Mama..." a weak soft voice made her rush to the bed."Hello, my dear Lucy..." she tenderly smiles while caressing the boy's pale face."I want candy..." the boy pursed
With Ben by his side, they went out of the elevator. With the head caps hiding their faces they walk towards the nurse's station nearby.He walks slowly passing by every room with small clear glass on every door. Partly seeing the inside, he would quickly peek, hoping to see a familiar figure before they would reach the nurse's station. He wants to avoid asking as not to reveal his presence inside the facility.His slow steps halted at one of the doors with his eyes fixed at the bed. Blinking and shaking his head several times to clear his vision, he earnestly stared at the figure inside. Ben remained behind him while cautiously looking around.Certain of what he intended to do, he quickly went inside the unlocked door, Ben followed behind after ensuring no one saw them enter.The steady beeping of the machine welcomed them but his eyes were fixed at the same color of eyes he has, staring back at him.Remained on the door to guard, Ben checked th
Watching the two hugging figures until they parted, Lexie stayed frozen on her feet."Mama!" Lucy raves upon noticing her at the door."Mama, papa has found his way to us. He is no longer lost in the crowd" Lucy continues and his words made her snap to the present.Blushing from the lame excuse she gave to her son, she cautiously glances at Lucien who is earnestly staring at her with his smug face. Though he looks like a mess with his tearful eyes."Are you happy, mama? Papa is here now. He made it" Lucy looks so ecstatic while his mother is grimacing from embarrassment. Lucien Wright's intense gaze is adding to her anxiousness."Of course, my love. I'm glad papa made it through the crowd" she mumbles as she fights the humiliation she feels."I told you, Papa will make it. I don't need to find him, he finds us first" Lucy continues to rave while Lucien tries to hold his small hands in his."And mommy Carla was right, I look like papa. Have you noti
"I won't curtail Lucy's right to be your son. He deserves it" her soft voice rang amid their sobs and sniffles.With what she said, his shoulders shook from his sobs. He bent to place a kiss on Lucy's small hand, cupping it inside his hands. Zia's words relieved him though he was bent on doing what he think would be best for his son despite her possible resistance."You will be alright my brave boy...papa is here..." he whispers while he showers his small hand with tender kisses.Silence rules as they gave themselves time to compose their emotions. It's a painful yet amazing moment and Lucien was overwhelmed by the chance he was given.Knowing Lucy is the greatest surprise in his life. After Zia had left, having an heir become a dim predicament for him, even with Ellen around."When will he have his surgery?" he asks after a long while that they have been silent."He will still undergo some tests and depending on the availability of the spec
