The Faceless Heiress and The Mysterious Bodyguard A Woman In Black
Lucia felt a bit sour due to how she acted. She did not get the time to dwell on her feelings before she was spoken to by the doctor. "He is fine, Miss." The attending doctor said, "I will be out. You should be careful with him. Subsequent treatments would commence afterward." The doctor said and Lucia nodded, watching as the doctor walked out. Lucia turned around and walked to grandpa James' bed. The tubes attached to him had already been removed. An IV drip was still attached to him. "How are you, grandpa?" Lucia asked with a smile as tears filled her eyes. "Come here, girl." Grandpa James said with a shaky voice.Grandpa James demanded for a hug. Lucia shook her head with a smile on her face. She wanted to give her grandpa a hug. But she looked at his frail body and could not dare to. "You should rest, grandpa. What type of porridge would you like to eat?" She asked. Grandpa James put on a grumpy look. He hated the weird taste and unspiced taste of porridge. But it was the only f

Hugh quickly took out his phone to text Lucas to go see grandpa James. On second thoughts, Hugh decided to call Lucas instead. It would be faster and would make Lucia assured. He dialed Lucas' phone number. Lucas picked up on the fourth ring, "Go to CEO James' ward, now." Hugh's voice gave no room for Lucas to disobey. Lucas on the other hand thought deeply about Hugh's words. He decided to go to the ward now since he was done with what Lucia had ordered him to do. Everything he had compiled would be on the news that day. Lucas put back his laptop into his bag and walked out of the restroom. He had been using the restroom on the last floor. He was thankful that the shareholders had dispersed. He didn't know that CEO was awake now. He boarded the elevator and rode to the highest floor.Lucas saw a woman in the elevator. She was dressed in a black dress. She looked familiar to Lucas. He nodded at her in greeting. The woman looked at Lucas but didn't bother to return his greeting. She

Lucia nodded her head over the phone. She heard the beeping sound that indicated the call had ended. She decided she would see her grandpa herself before she would believe that he was alright. She had negative feelings about Melanie's presence in the hospital. She turned to see Hugh behind her.Hugh looked at Lucia with a serious look. He was trying to decern her thoughts through the different expressions on her face. But he could only see panic and worry for her grandfather. 'Does she have no emotions for me, huh?' Hugh asked himself. He was hurt alongside his wolf."Your phone." Lucia said and stretched his phone to him. She expected Hugh to take it immediately but he did not. He was still looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze. Lucia was tired of standing and she wanted to leave. She still had to make porridge for her grandpa. She decided she would take a nap first. Lucia put her hand down while Hugh was still looking at her. She crept her hand towards his pants pocket and droppe

Lucia was a bit surprised at his words. The Elios she had seen didn't look one bit dangerous. He looked more like a pretty boy, but she knew not to underestimate anyone. She also didn't want to probe too much, as she knew her limits. Hugh's words made her think twice.'If Elios is dangerous, is Hugh dangerous too?' Lucia thought as she looked into Hugh's eyes. She decided to talk about the next thing on her mind, "What are we?" Lucia asked vaguely because she was a bit embarrassed. She had read somewhere that the question was mostly asked by women.She bent her head slightly to avoid his eyes. Her words made Hugh furrow his brows. He didn't know how to answer her. He also wanted to laugh because of the embarrassed and shy expression on her face. It was rare to see Lucia shy or embarrassed. He liked her boldness."Honestly…" Hugh started and trailed off. Lucia eagerly waited for him to complete his sentence. She hated being left hanging like that but she decided to be patient. Hugh on t

"Grandpaaa." Lucia said in a slightly high tone. "You can't do that. I don't want that and of course, Lucas does not want that either." Lucia said and turned to Lucas. Giving him a deathly stare, she dared him to say otherwise. Lucas on the other hand quickly composed himself."Yes, boss. I don't want that." He didn't say so because Hugh and Lucia were staring down at him. 'This demon couple. They should stop scaring me.' Lucia thought grudgingly in his mind. Grandpa James looked from Lucia to Lucas with a serious gaze. His stare made the duo a bit scared.They dreaded what he would say next. Lucia would not be able to refuse her grandpa if he arranged a marriage with Lucas for her. 'How did he even think of that?' She asked herself. Her head moved stealthily to the side to observe Hugh's reaction and her heart broke.Hugh had an unbothered expression on his face. His gaze was directed at the window, looking at the sky. Lucia turned her head back and at that point, if grandpa James sa

Lucia was dressed in a black suit with black stiletto heels. The heel made her feel tall and the black color of the suit complimented her pale skin. A make-shift board room was provided for their needs in the hospital due to grandpa James' influence. A few minutes later…"Are you ready, huh?" Hugh asked Lucia as she straightened the invisible lines on her suit. She was nervous and her palms were a bit sweaty. She gave a slight nod to Hugh's question and Hugh planted a soft kiss on her cheek. Immediately, Lucia felt her nervousness fly away. "Are you okay now?" Hugh asked again. Lucia smiled and said with a wink, "You should do that often." Inwardly, she was giddy that Hugh noticed how nervous she was. He had kissed her in an effort to calm her down. They heard a knock on the hospital ward's door. Hugh walked slowly to get to the door. He knew it was none other than Lucas, behind the door. He opened the door to reveal Lucas' face. "It's time." Lucas said immediately the door was ope

The recording of his conversation was played and it echoed in the meeting room. Eddy had a pale look on his face as he listened to his voice."...For an exchange, I'll give you 5% shares of Young Corporation." Melanie's voice sounded out. Her offer wasn't something Eddy could refuse. If Melanie was willing to give up 5% shares, just to bring down Alix Enterprise and then buy it, he saw no reason to refuse."Sure, I will do as you say. I will use the media for the first step of the plan." Eddy said. Happiness could be detected in the tone of his voice. "Up to you then." Melanie replied. Lucas ended the recording, even though there was still more to be said. If Eddy wanted to counter that the recording was fake, his reaction had already given him away. "Y..you." Eddy pointed a shaky finger at Lucia, eyes blazing in anger. Lucia spread her arms, her stance indicated that she was just doing what she was supposed to do."Lucas." Lucia called out again. Lucas immediately knew what she want

The Faceless Heiress and The Mysterious Bodyguard On The Sofa
Hugh halted in his steps when he heard her question. He didn't know what to tell her, because Sarah got back into the building due to Genevieve's help. "Oh, she is with the security. We are waiting for your order." He disclosed, hoping Lucia wouldn't ask more questions about Sarah."Oh okay. She has seen my face, what do you think we should do to her?" Lucia threw that hot question at Hugh. If left to her, she would let Sarah go, but it wasn't so simple.Hugh, however, didn't think Lucia would like his suggestion, "Do you think we should send her out of the country?" He asked, testing the waters. Lucia was quick to shake her head, not agreeing with Hugh's words. "She has her life to live. I'm sure she has her family here. We shouldn't send her away, just because of me. You can warn her and keep her under observation. Let her go." She concluded.Hugh nodded his head and took out his phone to send instructions to his minions. He had people who would do the job of keeping tabs on Sarah.
The Faceless Heiress and The Mysterious Bodyguard Blank Memory
Hugh's morphed arm moved toward Genevieve's neck. If Genevieve doesn't dodge, he would really cut her in the throat. Hugh didn't hesitate to wrap his arm around her neck. Genevieve was still playing dead, though she could sense the dangerous aura coming from Hugh. He tightened his grip on Genevieve's neck, moving her from where she lay. Genevieve opened her eyes slowly. She was in the air with the way Hugh had carried her. "Your arm feels good around my neck." She said with a pleasurable expression on her face. Hugh wasn't fazed by this, he knew she just needed the right amount of 'brain setting' or maybe torture. A wicked smile crept unto Hugh's face, his eyes had turned blue. He didn't bother to hide the color of his eyes and his face looked cold and menacing. He was ready for the kill. For some odd reason, Genevieve found his whole body stance and aura, pleasing or arousing…? "You like it, huh?" Hugh asked with raised brows and Genevieve nodded. Hugh's sharp claws started to dig
The Faceless Heiress and The Mysterious Bodyguard Choked
The black smoke was directed toward Lucia but she didn't know something was coming for her. The smoke wrapped around Lucia's neck like a snake while Genevieve controlled the tempo. Lucia felt a cool sensation around her neck and goosebumps started to line her skin. She put a hand around her neck, with a confused gaze in the dark.Her eyes were dilated in the unusual darkness. She tried to take the uncomfortable feeling she had on her neck by touching her neck. Genevieve, however, smirked wickedly at Lucia's futile attempt. She still didn't make a sound. The palm from which the black smoke came started to turn into a fist, slowly. As Genevieve's palm turned slowly into a fist, Lucia on the other hand started to feel tight around her neck. The uncomfortable feeling she felt, turned into a choke-like feeling. Her eyes started bulging as Genevieve tightened her fist. It was as if Genevieve's palm was wrapped around Lucia's slim neck. Lucia's back rested on the wall of the static elevato
The Faceless Heiress and The Mysterious Bodyguard Stuck
It was too sudden for Lucia and she couldn't dodge Sarah on such short notice. It wasn't surprising that it was Sarah who had jumped out of the shadow. Hugh heard the sudden noise. Sarah moved her hand to yank the mask off Lucia's face. Lucia noticed and couldn't stand there without doing anything.She raised her leg to kick Sarah on her calf which caused Sarah to stumble. Hugh had turned back already to catch Sarah by the neck but she still managed to yank the mask off Lucia's face. Lucia's heart rate sped up while Sarah was looking at her bare face. Hugh tightened his hand around Sarah's neck which made her gasp for her.There was always a spare mask in Hugh's pocket for Lucia. It was kept there for unexpected situations like this. Hugh took out the mask and threw it to Lucia. Lucky enough for them, there was no one in sight. The directors were already seated in the board room. Lucia caught the mask in her hand and she immediately wore it. As soon as she wore it, the door opened to
The Faceless Heiress and The Mysterious Bodyguard Mind-link
Genevieve looked back at Lucia and gave a professional smile. Her eyes didn't flicker to look at Hugh. As all the secretaries greeted Lucia, including her, she shifted her gaze away. Still, she didn't look at Hugh though he expected her to do so. Hugh also couldn't talk to Genevieve through mind-link, because Genevieve had blocked her head.Lucia nodded at the secretaries greetings while turning her gaze away from the new secretary. She walked toward the door of her office while making eye contact with Lucas. Lucas and Hugh quickly followed after Lucia but not before Hugh sent a cold stare toward Genevieve which made her smirk.'Did they send her here?' Hugh asked himself, not knowing that Lucia had caught his little exchange with Genevieve. As they got into the CEO's office which was newly designed to Lucia's taste. "When did she start to work on the CEO's floor?" Lucia asked immediately Lucas closed the door. "Just recently. A secretary decided to resign from her job. I chose the n
The Faceless Heiress and The Mysterious Bodyguard New Secretary
It was a Monday morning, Hugh opened the car door for Lucia and she got down. She stood straight in a white crisp shirt tucked into a fitted black skirt. She had 4-inch block heels on, making her almost as tall as Hugh. She murmured a thank you to Hugh and turned to face the company building. And of course, Lucia had a black mask on her face. The mask was a bit big, covering her nose and mouth entirely. She had also put on lenses and also applied light makeup on her face. Her real appearance couldn't be deciphered by anyone. Hugh on the other hand had a face cap over his head.He had made little modifications to his face as well. A few reporters were standing outside and they came rushing as soon as they spotted Lucia. She took a deep breath immediately after she saw the reporters coming. She had prepared for this before appearing that day.Hugh quickly walked to stand before Lucia. He shielded her while glaring at the reporters who were about to shove cameras and microphones toward
The Faceless Heiress and The Mysterious Bodyguard X's Speculation
Hugh and Lucia lay side by side on the bed. Their chest rose and feel at their own pace. Hugh took out his phone which was still ringing. Hugh knew it X and no one else. X was the only one who could call him on the phone at that time. Hugh hung up the call without thinking."Aren't you going to pick up the call?" Lucia asked with raised brows while drawing up the sheets to cover herself. Hugh raised a brow at her actions but didn't comment on it. "I'll be back soon." Hugh said and looked at the time on his phone. It was nighttime already. "You don't need to wait up for me as well." He added.Lucia nodded her head and Hugh leaned forward to place a soft kiss on her lips. She could her lips tingle from the connection. She watched as Hugh straightened the creases on his clothes. He then walked out of the room without looking back. Lucia didn't want to think too much but she wondered who was X.She had seen the name that was displayed on the screen. She stood up to clean herself up. As sh
The Faceless Heiress and The Mysterious Bodyguard Harsh
"Are you alright?" Hugh asked Lucia as they walked into the penthouse. Lucia turned around and hugged Hugh all of a sudden. It was like she was waiting for Hugh to talk. Hugh held her and patted her back continuously. He waited for Lucia to answer his question. That was the thing he cared about."Do you think I was too harsh on him?" Lucia asked in a shaky voice. Her doe-like eyes looked up at him and Hugh melted. At this point, he would give up anything and say Lucia was right. But he had to restrain that thinking. He then asked Lucia, "What do you think is harsh?"His question made Lucia scrunch her brows. Inwardly, she knew she was harsh to her grandpa. He was only trying to keep her safe. "Come here." She heard Hugh say and he led her toward the couch. Hugh sat on it and rested his waist on the handrest. He then guided Lucia to sit between his legs. Lucia settled between Hugh's legs and rested her back on his chest. She felt soothed, her body ached from the long meeting she had.
The Faceless Heiress and The Mysterious Bodyguard Fight
Soon the meeting was over, and Lucia walked out with Lucas trailing behind her. She saw Hugh standing by the door and she immediately linked her arms with his. It was weird that the couple did not mind Lucas knowing about their relationship. "Do you want to go home?" Hugh asked. "Or do you want to visit your grandpa first?" He added. Lucia did not think twice before saying, "I will visit grandpa." Hugh nodded and they both walked toward grandpa James' ward. Lucas was left behind while he snickered at the couple's back. He had noticed something about the duo's relationship. Lucas noticed that they acted differently whenever they were before the old man. "I think they are trying to keep their relationship from Mr. James. I should not meddle." Lucas said to himself. Aside from his observation, the way Lucas had stopped addressing grandpa James as the CEO was commending. The shareholders swarmed out of the makeshift meeting room. They met Lucas still standing by the door. Lucas had sta
