"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.Everyone was anxiously waiting as they gather around the bed where Lucien lay unconscious."Why is he still not awake?" Carlos glares at the doctor."He will be Mr. Petrov" the doctor confidently replies.They could see the doctor's confidence but it doesn't ease their anxiousness. They need to see Lucien is indeed waking up."He is just in an induced coma to give his body time to recuperate from all his wounds. He has been stable and out of danger a week ago so there's nothing to worry about. He will wake up as scheduled" the doctor explains for everyone's benefit. He could feel the tension in the atmosphere but he and his team were used to it.They are the top-tiered medical team of the Petrov Mafia, nothing is impossible as long as there is still a flicker of life in someone's body.Their grueling wait ended upon seeing Lucien's eyes move and he started to stir.Levinia grasps her husband's hand as they waited for t
Since they left the hotel, they were engaged in random conversation mostly about Lucy. Later did Lexie realize they are taking so long to arrive at the hospital.Looking outside the window, she noticed a different path. They are on an unfamiliar road before the vehicle stopped at a tall gate that opens for them.Confused, she turns to Levinia and Sam but they are busy with Lucy, unbothered about where the vehicle was going.She waited as they passed by a series of tall trees before a magnificent structure appeared from afar. Like the Wright mansion, it was castle-like but with a modern design. A massive well-maintained garden added to its magnificence. Looking around, she could only see grandeur. Whoever owns the place surely has great taste."Mom? Where are we going? Whose house is this?" totally confused, she peeks outside when the vehicle drove through the elevated driveway.She waited but got no response from either Levinia or Samantha until
Lexie could not get enough of the ring around her finger. Indeed Lucien gave her the rarest kind of jewel most women, including her, were not aware it even existed.Sparkling around her ring finger is a pink round brilliant cut 61.5-carat diamond, framed in solid platinum. She knows nothing about rare stones, but Sam gave her a hint of what Lucien had her.With her vague assumption, the ring cost another fortune. The stone size and fiery sparkle are making her nervous to wear it. She can't understand Lucien's frivolousness but she has no way of stopping him.Despite being inside the elevator climbing up to the third floor where the master's bedroom is located, she can't get enough of staring at the ring.They are taking a tour around the mansion, starting on the third floor. Where, according to Lucien were allocated for the master's bedroom, Lucien's office and gym, her workstation, and a family room with a complete home theater.Lucien together
"My baby is inside you again. This time I will see him grow and I could witness his birth. You have no idea how happy I am, my doll. I lost my chance with our brave Lucy, but you gave me this chance" Lucien carefully hovers above her while they are in bed. After Lucy's untimely announcement and Lucien had come around, they went to have her check-up. Not just the three of them but all of them, even Gabriel."With your plan of having so many children, you will have a lot of chances to see me grow as huge as a whale" she amusingly retorted while he sheepishly grins. "I'm excited to see you pregnant. No doubt, you will be the most gorgeous pregnant doll" he exclaims as he showers her with tender kisses, which she immensely enjoys. "My tummy will be as huge as the basketball ball, Lucien. I won't be gorgeous as you think" she softly counters. "It's my heir inside you. In my eyes, no one could equal your beauty. I love you so much, Zia. You are my world and I won't
The night is star-studded as the celebration of the founding anniversary of the Wright Group of Companies was taking place two weeks after Lucien's return.With all the prominent figures of the country, not to mention the Wright themselves, media companies are stationed all over the place to document the whole event. Field reporters try to find spots to do live reports aired on respective media stations. Camera flashes were blinding but guests never failed to pose for photographers stationed at the entrance. The once-a-year celebration of the Wright Group of Companies is one of the major events the country has been looking forward to. Socialites, politicians, celebrities, and different members of society have been eagerly waiting to receive the invitation months before the event. Only prominent figures and chosen few are given invites.Lucien arrives with his parents and Samantha. He and his father indulge the press with a reserved smile and a casual nod while the two women waves and
Though stunned by the boy's statement, guests can't help gushing at his cuteness. They are looking at the spitting image of the CEO with the same aura and it's quite astonishing. Lucas Alexander Wright is effortlessly trying to be serious like a real man but he looks more adorable than intimidating.After he counters the one who spoke, he continues to walk toward the front with Wright security following behind. Unaffected by the attention he was getting.Lucien watches his boy with pride together with the rest of the family. The Board of Directors who are all present at the event were all staring at him with questioning eyes. They were aware of the CEO having a wife but they didn't know he also has a son, more so a spitting image of him. A few feet away from his father Lucy hastens his steps with a smile on his lips."Papa..." his smile is priceless and it's making his father swell with pride and happiness. "Hello, my little CEO" Lucien, for the first time with witnesses, wears a te
The couple left the party with the sleeping boy in the CEO's arms. Despite having two nurses to attend to Lucy, Lucien and Lexie made sure to look after their son. Lucy fell asleep midway, so Lucien carries him around while greeting and talking to guests. It's been a successful event, but guests prefer to gawk at the family instead of enjoying the party as they are supposed to do. They seem to not get enough of the CEO having a real-life doll for a wife and a son who looks exactly like him.Even prominent personalities are snooping at the CEO's affairs, still in awe of the surprise. And tonight is also everyone's ultimate chance to witness the unknown side of CEO Lucien Wright. How he is as a father and a husband. From all the things they got to know about the CEO, one particular revelation prevails. He is a perfect family man. A hands-on father and an attentive husband. Though his son has been well-behaved, he has been very inquisitive. But he patiently indulges. Explaining all the
"I'll do it, sir" Lexie dashed to open the door for the old man who struggles to push it open. He is supporting his weight with a cane while his other hand was holding a cup."Thank you, dear" tender smile framed his old wrinkly face. "Who is with you, sir? You should not be going out alone" she smiles while she helped him with his cup. The old man holds onto the wall after his hand were freed."I just want to look around while I'm in the area. It's lonely being alone in my room. I want to see the beauty around" his voice is gruff but it's filled with tenderness. Staring at the man's face, her heart went out to him. Indeed, loneliness lay beneath the bitter smile he tries to adorn his old face. She wonders where his family is. He is too old to be left alone. "I'm waiting for someone, but he will not be around for at least an hour. We could sit together if you won't mind" she suggested not realizing why she did it. Her heart just went out for him. She was orphaned at a young age and
