We were both gasping for air when I realized what just happened. I can’t believe I gave in again. This man has ways of making me do crazy things like making love inside the car in the parking lot of the venue where we are invited at a party. Lucy, have you gone really mad? But girl, you have to admit that was steamy hot! I know Conner did this to get even with me and now I have to pull myself together to somehow turn the table upside down. I pulled my V-line to cover up my exposed swollen breasts. It was full of hickeys, and it felt super sore. Well, you didn’t complain while you were doing it, in fact you were wanting for more so there you go Lucy. You got what you wanted. I was fixing up my skirt while trying to think of what to say and do. I then, pulled out my make-up from my purse and did a little retouch. “That was a steamy, hot appetizer, I wonder what the main course would be.” I said while applying lipstick. I turned to Conner to

-Lucy’s POV- This is fun. The ambiance of the place is cozy. It somehow makes you forget life’s worries and all. I haven’t had this kind of moment for a very long time and I wish I could have more of this than just sitting inside my office. Well, not that I wasn’t able to get out at all, I was able to, but more of it were business affairs and not like this. The resort has this cool and soft u-shaped sofa with a mini bonfire set-up near our also u-shaped table at the center which is totally relaxing. I am standing by the seashore sipping my wine while listening to the sea breeze, savoring every sea wave the kisses the shoreline. I was in this frenzy when Nick approached me. “Hey there, thought you wanted to have some fun, why are you standing here alone? Where’s your vicious husband?” I let out a soft laugh, “He is the washroom and no, he is not vicious. He is just protective of me. I guess he is trying to make things right. He actually apologized about what he did before. Am

-Lucy’s POV- There was silence and everything went to slow motion. I couldn’t react nor move. The announcement was overwhelming. It felt like I was in a reality TV show and being pranked by its crew. How I wish that this is just a prank, but this isn’t. What’s happening now is real. I was in a complete trance when I heard Nick say, “What the f*ck?! Do you know anything about this Conner? Is this true?” I looked at Conner with hopeful eyes, but all I see is a Conner whose head is bent down. “I just knew about it. Amber told me before you called out for us to join the game. I had no idea that—” I finally found my voice “Oh so you knew. I approached you a while ago, yet you didn’t tell me. Why didn’t you immediately tell me? We could’ve privately talked about it before joining the others?” What, cat bit your tongue?” Conner looked at me and held both of my hands. “Babe, I’m sorry. I didn’t know how to react. I am not even sure if that baby she is carrying is truly mine. I swear

-Lucy’s POV-I am trying my best not to cry down on my knees. I have always been able to stand up from all the troubles in my life and I swear to God that what happened now wouldn’t destroy me. I will create a different version of me, the stronger me. I will make sure that Conner will be wanting for more and that he will feel very sorry for everything that he did to me. After the kiss that Conner and I shared, I stood up and said “Why don’t you have some fun dear husband, it’s such a wonderful night. Well, I’m not sure if you can tell but you have two women on your toes. Oh wait! Maybe there’s going to more, I heard you are great with reservations. I’m not quite certain how many reserves you have under your sleeves.” I then looked at Amber “You are quite lucky Amber for having been listed in his bountiful blessings. I’m sure you are quite thrilled. Anyhow, the night is young. I don’t know about you, but I

-Lucy’s POV- At this point I didn’t really care of what people will say about me ‘coz I know that it isn’t decent to have another man in my house especially now that I am married to the most famous bachelor in Brisbane, however they don’t feel what I feel and they don’t have the agony that I have. Fuck that status quo! What I am feeling right now may be because of the alcohol I drank, but this man right here, right in front of me is the one keeping me sane. Right now, I don’t care about doing what is right, I just want him to keep me company. “Madam, I wish to be of service to you, but I don’t think that It would be right. Mr.-“ “I don’t care about your Mr. Lowell! I- I know how much you respect your Mr. Lowell, but I-I honestly don’t care. Think of this as one of your jobs. I just want to have somebody with me tonight. Somebody who is on my side and not care about this - this status quo. I’m sick of it. I am honestly sick of it. I want to cry myself out and I know t
Last Updated : 2022-01-09The Orphan's Goddess 43. I Would Gladly Make a Mistake with Him
-Lucy’s POV- I woke up this morning to this very fragrant aroma. I slowly walked out from my room and found Ronald cooking in the kitchen. I felt hungry just by smelling the savory flavor of whatever he is cooking. This man is truly something, not all men can do what he can. I stood right beside him which made him flinch. “I’m sorry did I startle you?” He looked at me for a moment before answering. “I-I’m sorry madam I took the liberty of cooking you a meal. I hope you don’t mind.” I shook my head and wore a disappointed face which made Ronald uneasy “I-I’m so sorry madam. I promise to ask permission from you again. I-I didn’t like waking you up because I want you to have a good rest. I-” I placed my finger over his lips and said, “That’s not what I am disappointed about.” Ronald wore a confused look. I crossed my arms and interrogated him. “What did you call me again? I specifically told you not to call me this way again. Did you forget what I said last night? Come on, say it.” Rona
Last Updated : 2022-01-23The Orphan's Goddess 44. You are Amazing
-Lucy’s POV-I couldn’t read Conner’s reaction. I wasn’t even sure if what I was doing was right, but I do believe that this is for the best. I don’t want to keep my hopes up especially with the current situation we both have; him having the possibility of becoming a father. Conner went near me and held my arms. “Lucy, all I’m asking is time. I know I am asking for too much, but this is something important to me.” I scoffed “I know, who said that becoming a father isn’t important? But what is it to me? From what I remember I have nothing to do with it. This is your responsibility, not mine.” I turned and went back to the table where the scrumptious breakfast is waiting to be eaten. “Enough yapping, Conner. I am starving. Why don’t we enjoy this feast instead of dwelling on YOUR dilemma? Having an empty stomach will do you no good, dear husband. I think this meal will give you the strength and the sm
Last Updated : 2022-02-02The Orphan's Goddess 45. All for Her
-Conner’s POV- Over the years I have taught myself to keep my distance. My past almost consumed me that I thought I wouldn’t be able to move forward because of it until Lucy came to the picture. I remember how her tears rolled down her soft cheeks while I tried stopping her from drowning herself and when I looked into her eyes, I never felt so alive even though we were in a kind of horrific situation. I can see the depth of her soul and I knew then and there that this woman is pure. Looking at her now though with Ronald and hearing her praises to him is making me go out of my wits even though I know that she is just acting and trying her best to make me feel jealous. Wow! Look at you Mr. Lowell! How time flew! You’ve become a very confident man. How certain are you that she is trying to make you jealous? Can’t you just admit to yourself that you are jealous because you feel something for this woman? I hate to admit that I am jealous. Haven’t had this feeling with the other women I dat
Last Updated : 2022-02-07The Orphan's Goddess 46. Win Her Back
-Conner’s POV- I am on my way to my office, but my mind was left behind my wife with that so-called ‘amazing’ man, Ronald. It is so frustrating to leave, but I know that this is also something important. For what its worth, this could make or break my relationship with Lucy. When I arrived, Alfred was already waiting for me by the main entrance. When I entered he immediately walked together with me. “Anything suspicious?” I asked in a very monotonous tone. “Nothing I suspect of, Mr. Lowell.” he instantly replied. Alfred is really somebody reliable. He has been with me over the year and he has truly helped in making my work lighter. “Good, is the investigator settled in the function room?” Alfred nodded “Afirmative, Mr. Lowell.” I made a deep breath “Alright then, make sure that nobody is to disturb me while I am talking with the investigator. I would appreciate it if keep guard the door. I don’t want any information that I will get from the investigator to leak.” Alfred nodded again,

-Lucy’s POV- I am not sure if what I am doing is right especially that I will be using Chris again to escape from this whole mess that I am in, but I think that I don’t have any other choice. When I asked him if he could take me away he blinked a couple of times trying to digest and let everything sink in. When he figured things out, he held both of my arms and caressed them softly as he gave me a sweet smile. “Lucy, you are truly extraordinary. You never failed to amuse me.” Now, it was my turn to be confused. What is he trying to say? “You are smart woman.” He continued. “and since you are a smart woman. I think you know better that this is not the way to solve things out. We don’t want to do things that we might regret in the long run especially now that you have an angel inside your belly.” He gently placed his hand over my still small belly. Conner was trying to restrain himself from striding towards us and Ronald was quick enough to sense that for he placed his hand
The Orphan's Goddess 72. Take Me Away
-Lucy’s POV-I slowly opened my eyes when I felt the warmth of the heat of the sun coming from the windowpane. My sight was still a little blurry and so I tried blinking a couple of times to clear my vision. My head was buzzing and I could hear voices talking not far from where I was laying. When my vision cleared I finally realized that I was in what it looked like a clinic. I shifted myself to a sitting position trying to get a glimpse of who the voices belonged to. I then saw Ronald and the doctor was right beside him. It looked like they were listening to somebody else. I was about to stand up when his eyes glanced at me, he immediately rushed towards me to assist me. “Lucy, be careful.” The doctor then followed him and checked on my vital signs. While the doctor was checking on me another figure came inside the room. It was Conner. My eyes widened at the sight of him. Oh for the love of the heavens! Why is he here?! Agh! Ronald! You’ve got some explaining to do! I looked at Ronal
The Orphan's Goddess 71. I Can Take It From Here
-Conner’s POV-I am in rage! It has been three days since the search for my wife has started and I am truly disappointed. How big is Brisbane for them to not immediately locate my wife?! This is frustrating! Where could she be? I couldn’t sleep well knowing that my wife is somewhere out there on her own and it’s all my fault. Paperworks were piled on the table, but I couldn’t think well. I-I can’t go on like this. I have to concentrate because people are depending on me. I’m going insane! I took out a folder and reviewed its contents when my phone rang. I checked who was calling and it was Ronald. I answered the call in a trance wanting nothing, but good news from him. “Hello, Mr. Lowell.” Ronald started saying when I answered his call. “I’m not really sure how to start, but I want you to know that I want to be loyal to you, but I also want to be loyal to Lucy.” What the heck is Ronald doing. I impatiently groaned and just wanted him to be direct to the point. “Can you cut the crap an

-Lucy’s POV- I am not certain of what to do. The only thing that I wish right now is for Ronald to be by my side. He is the only person I can think of that would truly help me out in this situation. I was too clouded with the emotions I felt because of what Conner did to me, but I didn’t expect this kind of danger that I might put myself into. Of all people, why did I have to encounter the arch enemy of Conner, Amber and Bernard Yates. If I wasn’t Mrs. Lowell I wouldn’t be cornered like this. I sighed. However, I am the Mrs. Lowell and so I no choice, but to find a way how to face this. Should I go back to Conner? My thoughts trailed off, but it was cut off when my phone rang. It was Ronald. “Lucy, I just entered Jhon Street.” I nodded and said, “Just go forward and to your right you should see a mailbox with a print ‘Woods’ on it.” “Got it.” Ronald responded. Just then, I heard voices from outside. I hurriedly stood up and peeked through the window. It was Christopher blo

Lucy’s POV- This day couldn’t get any better. Amongst all the people in the world, why she? The woman who also almost broke my relationship with Conner. What Luck!?! But, wait a second, Bernard Yates. The name sounds so familiar. Could it be? Oh my God! Bernard Yates, the person whom Conner and I had encountered before! The person we had a confrontation with! The CCTV guy! Oh no! this is bad. I have to do something. “What an honor to have THE Mrs. Lowell here in my humble café.” She placed her hand on her chest acting so noble and dramatic. Doesn’t suit you b*tch! “What brings you here Mrs. Lowell? Where is Mr. Conner Lowell?” Her neck could stretch like elastic girl while looking for Conner. “Don’t stress yourself out Amber, I didn’t come here with Conner. I came here with Christopher.” When I looked at Chris I can see the surprise in his eyes. “Y-you’re married? Y-you’re THE Mrs. Lowell?” I almost forgot that I was trying to hide my identity here so that Conner wouldn’t
The Orphan's Goddess 68. Couldn’t Get Any Better
-Lucy’s POV- The view in Redcliffe is breathtaking! Chris was right! The best way to explore Redcliffe is through a motorcycle ride. The fresh air, the beach, the whole entire package of Redcliffe is astonishing! Why haven’t I come here before? This place makes me feel alive and just forget of all of my worries, but that is far from reality. As much as I want to enjoy this place, I need to get a hold of Ronald so that we can formulate a routine on how to manage the business without getting caught by Conner. It was around 11 o’clock that Chris brought me to this small café called ‘Ultimatum’. I went off the bike first and was about to take off the helmet I was wearing when Chris grabbed my arm to pull me closer to him and took off the helmet himself. Wow! That was smooth! I guess he is just like that, a gentleman. After taking off my helmet he took off his and said, “I hope you don’t mind, this café is not much but this is actually one of my favorites here in Redcliffe. I
The Orphan's Goddess 67. That's More Like It
-Lucy’s POV-I have a bad feeling about how Chris is acting towards me. Girl you need to lay low. Maybe you are just overthinking about this or assuming too much. My alter ego may be right, but I don’t want to like give Chris the wrong impression. I have to be straight-forward with him and have this sense of assurance that I won’t be misleading him. I shrugged my shoulders and said, “For somebody who is a complete stranger to me, I must say that I am lucky to have found a new friend who is willing to help me in any way he could. Thank you Chris for making things a bit easy for me.” I made it a point to mention the word FRIEND emphasizing the relationship that we have and the only relationship we will ever have. His smile was faint, but it was a smile nonetheless. “Don’t mention it. I would help anyone whole heartedly especially to those whom I think has a pure heart.” My heart started to pound. I am not certain of the reason why, but this is really making me uncomfortable and nervous
The Orphan's Goddess 66. Find My Wife
- Conner’s POV -Mr. Laviv’s face turned sour. “What has my daughter done this time?!” I took a deep breath before proceeding. “I don’t want to say it in detail because I still respect her as a woman, as a human being and as your daughter. I can handle her tantrums, but what I can’t is seeing her disrespecting my wife. You see, Mr. Laviv, my wife is the woman whom I was searching for almost two years and now that we are finally reunited I don’t want to miss the chance to win her heart back.” I see Mr. Laviv nodding his head and listening closely to what I am saying “Mr. Laviv, I need you to understand that my wife is more important than anything else. I told Margaret that I am willing to give up our partnership if she will continue barging into my life. So, part of our meeting tonight, I want you to decide whether you will help me make your daughter stop or let’s forget about our partnership. What is it going to be?” Mr. Laviv was shaking his head in disbelief, “Mr. Lowell, I apologiz
The Orphan's Goddess 65. Make Your Daughter Stop
- Conner’s POV-I can never be sure about this woman. Who knows how many tricks she has under her sleeve. Having that thought I casually took out my phone and chatted my trustworthy assistant, Alfred. ‘Alfred, go and check if there is a reservation made by Mr. Laviv at the La Viva Restaurant at 8 in the evening. Give me an update as soon as possible.’ Alfred, as always has an immediate response. ‘Copy that, Mr. Lowell.’ After reading his reply I dialed the number of our house staff. I am really worried about how Lucy is doing now. I haven’t had the chance to explain things with her. I can see the pain and anger in her eyes. For some reason I wasn’t able to react when she said that she no longer wants to listen. It was as if I was struck by lightning, but if I delay my mission I’m afraid that it will be too late for us. The phone rang and a house staff spoke from the other line. “Good afternoon, Mr. Lowell. How may help you?” I took a deep breath hoping that my wife is at home. “Is my
