2024-10-29 19:42:56No 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

"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.

Lucy whispers to his mother after he averted his gaze away from the visitor."No, baby. He is papa's friend" softly, she assures the boy who looks afraid of the man."Hello there young CEO Lucien" Gab continues with his playfulness despite hearing what the boy called him."I am not my papa.

He left the decision to the public to believe it or not.With all his hectic schedule, he has no time to be bothered by insignificant matters, more so Lexie.She has become busy with the preparation of her brand and the design she will be launching.

His men reported Ellen's flight together with her parents and it's doesn't look like a short vacation."It would help her to leave for a moment," she said to him."Yes, it will do her good. I wonder what made her decide. She was a brat and spoiled to be convinced by her parents" he mumbles."Miss Ellen is a smart woman. She might have some realizations to make her life better" she smiles while snuggling close to him with closed eyes."I hope so" he mutters with a shrug.They just finished making love and they are ready to sleep while having a casual conversation.

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.

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

Two groups of boys were quietly sitting two arms apart from each other.The group with three boys was way bulkier and obviously older than the two slender boys at one corner. 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.
