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

"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 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

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

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

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 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

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

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.
