Lucinda's POV. I hesitated slightly about what was already going on but decided to go ahead regardless of whatever I felt. I didn't want Killian having any power over me if I refused to move closer because I knew he was going to gloat. "Where are you heading to again?" "I want to meet up with someone. I will be back before you know it." I kissed Darcus on the lips. I didn't plan to stay so long and get over this but I knew that it couldn't be as Swift as I expected it to be because of the nature of Killian. That man always wanted me to be angry at him and I didn't know what else to do to make sure that everything was right. *I arrived at our preferred destination and watched. Nobody had the right to come close and command me to do what I didn't want to do and if I was given a person the opportunity it was simply because I wanted to and not the other way around. "I never knew you were going to show up. If I knew that it only took one phone call to get you running back to me I
Lucinda's POV. I had absolutely no idea of what had been said behind my back but I knew that it was something sensitive because of the way Darcus responded to me after he came out of that interrogation room. I could only hope that nothing bad had been said behind my back because then that would get me in my feelings and I wouldn't know what to say or do to help myself out of this mess. It was also going to be a disaster if I was not able to prove that there had been little changes in what I had claimed to be but at the same time, I was very consistent about what should have made more sense. I hated the fact that I had to continue this way and pretend like everything was fine when truly deep down it wasn't and I was just winging it. I also wanted to ensure that there was never going to be any form of destruction whatsoever but at the same time I still wanted to see how fast this could go. I had an idea of how I wanted things to go but not at the detriment of my own kids. I contem
Author's POV. Killian hissed immediately when he received the letter from Darcus. Things were not supposed to escalate to this point but he guessed he had no choice but to dance to the music that had been played. It was all Daston's fault. He was already on his way to achieving his plans until he was intercepted by the fool who called himself a friend and a business partner and now he had to pay dearly for it. What he wouldn't give to have the luxury of not being in the bad books with such a man! It would be a luxury that everybody had underrated and he didn't even know how to begin his defense. Everything that he said was going to be used against him as much as they could, and he would have to start thinking about the best way to figure it out before anyone got their hands on that piece of information. There was something different about the way he had decided to rule his life but he then also figured out that it was going to take longer than necessary to get to the point where
Darcus' POV. I saw the way Lucinda's shoulder stiffened as soon as those claims were made and they had me wondering if they were in any way through and why had she decided to keep this away from me when I could have also been in the know."What are the both of you talking about?" I strolled into the interrogation room even though I wanted to know what exactly this conversation was going to lead to and from her stance, I knew I wasn't going to get a wonderful answer. Walter burst into laughter, staring at Lucinda who looked red-faced but immediately switched her demeanor to look like she had been slighted. "Do not mind this drunk. He is looking for ways to tarnish my image but that's not going to work. He has been bragging that you would not be able to do a thing about the issues at hand and I have told him that he is nothing but a fool. I would leave you with him to continue. I hope that you do not listen to any lies he has to say." She spoke, kissed me on the cheek and walked away
Lucinda's POV. Most of the people who had come here to fight against us were nothing but cowards and as much as I would have loved to engage in the back and forth I needed to do something else with my time that wouldn't get me stranded. I had various things that I wanted to do which would have turned me into an amazing fellow but I refused to let that be my own good, instead I went on with the plans."Walter, darling. As much as I would have loved to engage you in this back and forth, I think that there is a limit to where you can go with stuff like this. You have already been imprisoned. What do you think you can do to save yourself from this mess?" I demanded from the man who was trying to pick up the pieces of his life yet failing woefully. He looked at me for a minute and shook his head. "I once thought that you were wiser. Yet you have proven to me countless times that you do not even have a single atom of sense in that brain of yours." He laughed miserably. I could have gott
Lucinda's POV. The said man walked out from the back where he sat and then came closer with only one intent which was quite amusing because I already knew how this was going to end but decided not to take cognizance of whatever this meant. Anyone coming out to challenge someone like this just had a death wish to the top of their heads. Darcus was one of the most revered alphas in the world and if they thought that they had something on him then they had not even read the memo perfectly. Also most of the people who had come to say one thing or the other had lost the rights to ever go by this. There were a lot of people who would never take up this offer even if they were offered thousands of Dollars. If Stefan was here then he better have a wonderful reason or else he was going to be on the blacklist of a man who had instilled fear in his counterparts up to the point where most of them no longer could breathe around him and that was me being modest. "You have 2 minutes to wrap th
