Gaping at him in confusion, she waited for him to continue.
"We will go outside, smile as we have come into terms. And I had invited you for snacks as a welcome treat as a family" he continues while she listens though confused."You have asked for a vacation leave for your travel to Europe which I approved. You and Lucien will be having a long vacation" with furrowed brows she narrowed her eyes to him. "That would be the scene once we are out there with the others. I will explain later. Just put a smile on your beautiful face, Lexie" he added before standing up."Come on, we have to leave as soon as possible. Maintain your act until we could leave" Arvin pulled her up despite her confusion."Smile Lexie" he seriously mutters before opening the door. Though confused about what Arvin was trying to make her do, she obeyed him. They casually walk to the workstation where Eve and the rest were all occupied with their work. But several pairs of teStaring at her, Gabriel remains silent. But looking at how determined she was in waiting for his response, he took a very deep breath.Daniel Wright with Samantha was at the side, silently watching. Both were deep in thoughts.Slowly, Gabriel took a seat across her and stare back at her earnest gaze."Lucien met with Mr. Petrov later after lunch. We were still in video conference when the explosion happened. Then gunfires erupted. Everything was in an uproar before the conference was cut off" he started to relay every detail he knows. Lexie remains quiet while listening."Ben and his men are with Lucien, he will protect him, Lex" he added."Where is Lucien now, Gab? And I want the truth" she mutters. Unconvinced of the shortness of what he was telling her.Gabriel stares at her and realized he has not convinced her."We were cut out from contacting him. The Petrov has cut any communication around their territory and there's
"They cannot contact them too, but dad will visit" Arvin returned after he left to make a phone call."Your dad knows?" Levinia hesitantly asks." Yes, he was there when mom answered. They watched the news but like us, they were blinded by the details" he faces his aunt to explain."What did your dad say?" she continues to ask."He will help. He will visit if he can acquire the rights" he assures the woman.Relieved by what she heard, she turns to her husband and smiled.Lexie was just watching and though she was curious, she remains quiet. What she is hearing gave her a little hope. They are doing something to find out about Lucien's situation and it immensely appeased her."No matter what reasons there are, we are family aunt Anya. And times like this, we can rely on no one but our family" Arvin, with her a serious look, spoke. His eyes were fixed on his aunt before they darted to Daniel Wright."We cannot turn our back this long from
It's been a week and things were getting out of hand. Lucy has been throwing tantrums for not seeing his father even in the video calls. The boy has become more persistent in wanting to see Lucien, which was impossible for them to fulfill.If Lexie was miserable the first night, she was like a walking dead in the succeeding days. She lost her focus on her work and choose to stay in the penthouse after she had persistently convinced everyone to go back. She wanted to live with all the reminders of Lucien. But being alone with her son is a struggle to convince him of her lame excuses.Understanding her predicament, Arvin also let her be in her self-imposed seclusion. Even he was troubled by not having news about his cousin. They have been trying to infiltrate the strong threshold of Petrov territory but they are still far from being successful.It's still a news blackout and they knew it won't be short. Authorities were all at a loss for what happened
She had acknowledged what Dom has been trying to say to her since the start when her vision blurred. She unexpectedly lost control of her limbs and everything went black.It's been too silent, too peaceful. She hears nothing, she sees nothing. She feels no pain but she felt void...empty...hollow.Is this what she wants? No more troubled sleep, no more heartache, no more fears, no more tears.NO.She vehemently disagrees. She doesn't want to be where she is right now. She hasn't admitted defeat and she will not surrender to the darkness. Her son needs her. Lucien will come back and she must be there with their son, waiting.Remembering the two most important people in her life, she cries. She needs to come around. She struggles to seek even a glimmer of light in the darkness but she got none. Darkness is around her, engulfing her weary heart."Lucy! baby..." she shouted."Lucien...!" she pleaded but she only got silence and u
"Positive"She whispers while staring at the result in her hand.Everyone was watching her and unshed tears immediately brimmed everyone's eyes upon hearing her."Another Wright" Levinia tearfully whispers. Happiness beams her heart while tears fell from her eyes."Another Wright heir..." Daniel happily exclaims while trying to contain the tears, threatening to fall."Mama...?" Lucy tug her arm, looking confused."You will have a brother, my love. Mama has your brother inside my tummy" tenderly, she faces the boy and explains.Hearing his mother, his eyes widened in excitement and surprise."I have a brother, mama?! So it means I'm a big brother?" he raves, ecstatic by the news."Yes, my brave Lucy. You are a big brother now" she lovingly smiles at her son.Throwing himself to his mama, Lucy showers her with sloppy kisses. Which immensely lifts Lexie's disposition. She is happy and afraid at the same time but with her son and the
Despite her confusion about what motives Lucien had when he made her his wife without her knowledge, she faces the expectation of her being a Wright.She is no longer the woman who is only mother Lucien Wright's heir. She is his wife and in his absence, she will fill in his shoes. It may not be all but somehow she is needed. The weight on her shoulder becomes heavy, living up as the wife of the most powerful businessman in the country.She needs to strengthen her will to safeguard what Lucien had entrusted to her and to protect her children. The heirs of the Wright empire.Together with all the Wrights and Gabriel Simon they face the board and defend her spot."All documents are inside the portfolios on your desk. You could verify if you deemed it to be necessary" Gabriel spoke, his eyes drifted around the fifteen people around the huge conference table."Alexzia Montes-Wright is the legal wife of CEO Lucien Wright and she has the declaration to repres
"My love..." Daniel whispers.After the long silence of being inside the vehicle, Daniel spoke to his wife who has been very quiet beside him. Since they left the mansion, Levinia fell into the pit of her deep thoughts."We will go now, Daniel?" she whispers."Yes," he whispers back.Slowly he scooted to go out after the man from the outside pulled open the door for them. Going out of the vehicle, his eyes immediately darted to the high-rise building in front of them. They are at the back part and they are the only ones on that side.Garbed with simple clothes hiding their identity, they enter the private elevator while holding each other's hands. Deafening silence fills the small cube while tension rises as they climbed higher.It's taking forever to reach wherever the cube is bringing them and it's adding to their anxiousness.Ending their grueling wait, the elevator bell rang before the door opens. Revealing the eerie silence o
"You lost your right a long time ago" Levinia mutters with a chilling coldness capable to inflict fear on anyone."My life will not be long. I'm already a setting sun, Anya. And I've been dreaming of your forgiveness. I wish I could have it before hell claims my soul" he whispers. He has to tilt his head to contain the threatening tears to fall."Love..." Daniel pleadingly whispers. He doesn't want to meddle but he witnessed how the man fought his demon the moment his wife opened her mouth."He doesn't deserve my forgiveness, Daniel" she snapped at him instead."Anya...Lucien was brought to us safe. Please, that's all that matters now" Donovan also interjected."What about the past Vavan? Can you just forget how this man kill our mother? It's because of him that we were orphaned. It's because of him we have to leave home" Levinia spat at her brother while glaring at him."He had suffered enough, Auntie Anya. It's been so long. Please.
