"We may have started on a wrong foot, but I'm hoping we could work this out. I never expected the outcome of the agreement I offered you, it backfired on me" he whispers while caressing her cheek. "I never planned a lifetime with you, Zia, but I was left with a yearning to have you in my arms every single night. I was left with the desire I felt for no one. I was left with the emptiness after you left" he continues."I tried to erase you in my life, out of my mind. But it just made me hollow. Despite Ellen's presence, I can't move on with my life without you. I strived to focus on her, recalling my need to have her, I kept on reminding myself I once dreamed to have a family with her, but I failed all the time. Your memory is stronger than what I made myself believe all this time"

After several rounds of heavenly euphoria inside the bathroom. They finally finished taking their shower.Zia is already limping and almost wobbles on her feet before Lucien had been appeased. He has to carry her outside to get dressed.Inside the closet, he made her sit down on the couch facing the floor-to-ceiling wardrobe cabinets."I will just get your change" he whispers while pecking a kiss on her forehead.Seeing the insides of the cabinet after he opened it, Zia narrowed her eyes. The closet is full of clothes and there's no way her one small luggage has a massive number of clothes inside to make it this full after unpacking."You got to be kidding me..." she mutters, making Lucien turn to her.Looking at her grim face, he was perplexed. She looks angry and he doesn't know why."This insult again? Until now?" she painfully exclaims looking at his confused eyes."Zia, what are you talking about?" he was perplexed by hi

No matter how hard she convinces herself Lucien is no longer interested in Ellen, her heart still feels heavy. And just like her dragging steps as she came out of the service elevator to transfer to the penthouse elevator, she feels like weighing a ton. All her limbs feel heavy.She just sparsely look around, checking the surroundings as she waited for the elevator to open after she scanned her card. She feels like burying herself in the deepest part of her bed to have the serenity she needed. But she doubts if she ever finds one until Lucien gets home. Him, being with Ellen doesn't suit her gut.Still lost in thoughts, she was unaware of the floor indicated on the screen and when the elevator opens.Snapping from her trance, she was startled by the intense eyes staring at her. The pair of piercing eyes, Lucien Wright owns. Surprised to see him, she just stares at him without noticing she remains unmoving from her spot."Come in, Zia. Lucy is already waitin

She could feel the pressure coming from everyone around her, especially Eve and the president.She has to prove her success during the recent launching is neither a one-shot nor out of luck. She must establish a substantial market for her design. And by doing so, she must strengthen the diversity of her style. And it will be increasing the pressure on the goal she set for herself.Busy in their respective workstations, Jason suddenly stands up and increases the volume of the television."Look at the news, a result of CEO Lucien Wright's medical assessment regarding his erectile dysfunction has been circulating" Jason readily explains as he scans the television for the channel airing what he was saying.Lex

"That was savage" Jason mumbles in utter disbelief. Amusement laces his voice as he turns to Eve with a smile."Let's see what that scheming bitch will do against Samantha Wright" Eve raves amusedly."She was nowhere close compared to the bitchiness of Miss Wright" Emily added, chuckling."But what if it's true? That the CEO has that problem?" Jason curiously asks."It's none of anyone's business. We all have struggles and though his life is in the limelight, he still deserves privacy. We don't know what he had gone through. The medical institution should investigate why his result was posted online and not securely kept. The CEO could sue them for the leak of pertinent documents. Whoever posts the result must be sued for breaching the CEO's privacy" Eve seriously stated."This is the downside of being famous. Even your privacy is at stake. People will find something to tarnish your good name" Emily shrugs."I'm curious about the CEO's reaction" J

"Lucien?" she whispers after she recognized him.Slowly she walks closer to him."What are you doing here? Why didn't you get inside the room? What time did you get home?" she asks what has been bothering her mind. But she got no reply even after she had taken a seat beside him."Lucien..." she was suddenly bothered by how he looked.Heaving a sigh, she placed her hand on his knee, giving it a gentle squeeze. She stares at his loosened tie and disheveled hair. He looks dejected almost defeated, which is troubling her."I've been waiting for you since afternoon. I got out of work earlier. I played with Lucy around the pool, I bathe him and we ate dinner together. I put him to sleep and read him his favorite story" she recounted what she did earlier. She waited for his reply but after a while of silence, she got none."I also tried to call. Lucy wanted to say goodnight to you...but your phone was quite busy" she added and waited again. W

Staring, she remains to wait for him to continue."I don't know if it's love, Zia...I don't know I'm capable of such... I am with Ellen for years but I can't say I love her... She was just there beside me, but it doesn't bother me whether she was around or not. And I fear I will do the same with you" he added, sounding so conflicted."I was desperate to find an answer to my dilemma and I don't want to use you as I did to Ellen. You are...you are precious to me Zia. The first time I felt this kind of protectiveness but I was frightened of myself""These were all new to me. Everything in my life was easily offered, I can easily get anything I want...but for the first time...you gave me a difficult plight. A battle against myself""You were there for an easy take...but I don't want to just take you...I don't deserve you.

"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

He was told they were in grade six.Teachers were fidgeting beside the principal while the rest were looking tense at the arrival of the couple."Speak.
