-Lucy’s POV-I gave a sarcastic smile at Margaret before turning my back to leave, but what I did not expect is for her to do a drastic move against me. “You low-life bitch!” she said with her voice screeching because of anger. She paced towards me and reached for my hair and pulled it hard. “Who do you think you are!? Do you know who I am?! You don’t know who you are dealing with and so if I were you, you would think twice of what you will say and do to me.” The words she said didn’t really register in my brain for I was too focused on the pain I felt caused by the pulling of my hair. Conner ran towards me and broke us apart. My head was throbbing, and I badly want to get even with her. “Listen, Margaret I honestly do not know who you are and I do not intend to know because knowing you is not a responsibility that I need to carry on my shoulders. You can do whatever you want to do and you can have whatever you want to have, I don’t care! As long as it does not involve my family. You
-Conner’s POV-Every ounce of self-constraint that I had just gave up and I instantly gave in to my desire. I leaned my forehead on hers, “I have been controlling my desires for God knows how long.” I took a deep breath before whispering “I can’t promise that I will be gentle.” She seductively giggled and moved her lips closer to mine, “I didn’t say that you should be.” F*ck it! I miss her. I miss her so bad. I’m sorry I can’t hold it any longer. I groaned and cupped her cheeks and sealed our desires with a long passionate kiss. I didn’t want us to stop kissing that we can only manage short breaths in between. Her moans are priceless as I nibbled around the surface of her breasts before lingering my tongue on her nipples while the finger of my other hand is busy exploring her other breast. I started kissing the valley between her breasts then down to her tummy. I feel like I didn’t want to miss any spot of her body. I want to savor ever inch of her. I stopped what I was doing as I pul
-Lucy’s POV-I am truly excited to get busy again in my café. I love the sweet scent of flour, the heat, and the hustle. I am used to the rush, and it makes me feel alive. It has been two weeks since I left to rest because of my peptic ulcer. I am currently preparing my things when Conner got out from the shower. He approached and hugged me from behind “Are you sure you are going back to work now?” I faced him and said, “I know you can do things for me, but I miss my job. The café is my life even before we met each other and besides I don’t want to get used to having you do things for me.” He sighed “But I want you to. I told you I got your back.” I kissed him on the lips “I know, but I want to do this.” He shrugged his shoulders in surrender “Okay, fine. Anything you want I will support.” I hugged him tight “Thank you, baby! Hmmm…Want pancakes for breakfast? I’ll make some.” He smiled and nodded. I gave him a quick kiss before going to the kitchen.I am preparing the ingredients to c
-Lucy’s POV- I may be making a drastic move, but I do feel that I have gambled everything just to lose. Maybe you are just overreacting. Maybe you have to give Conner a chance to explain. Don’t be too selfish. Me? Selfish? I made her look down on me the moment she laid eyes on me. She couldn’t even believe that I am Conner’s wife! Then, I allowed Conner to make her stay at our house! Our home! That’s our private space, but somehow Conner managed to persuade me into getting my permission to make room for her! And now she is sitting on his lap like she owns him! Is that being selfish?! Don’t you think that that’s being selfless? Her timing is on the spot. She barged into our relationship when everything is going perfectly well. I am sitting down on our bed truly astonished by the thought. I scoffed, “You never fail to amaze me Conner. After all the revelation, you didn’t even dare to catch up with me nor dare to stop me from leaving. Instead, you stayed by her side and not w
-Lucy's POV-The space I’m currently renting isn’t so bad. Once you enter you will be greeted by the mini kitchen and right across is the bed and the comfort room. It’s a small space but has accessibility of the basic needs. Adding accents will give this room the right vibe that I need, but this will do for now. I am so stressed out for the day that all I ever want is some rest. I placed my luggage on the bed and took out my pajamas to call it a day. I went to the comfort room to shower, but to my disappointment the shower doesn’t work. Probably because this place hasn’t been occupied for a long time. I am not familiar of this place and so I am not sure where I could find plumbing. I sighed, “I guess I have to ask the landlord about this.” I went out of my room and knocked on the door of the next room where Christopher lives. “Ahm..E-excuse me Christopher?” There was no response and so I had to knock again “Christopher are you still awake?” the voice from the other room shouted, “Hold
-Lucy’s POV-I indulged myself to the warm water running through my body. I am taking a shower like I never had before. I know it wouldn’t really help, but right now I was praying that all of the pain inside my heart would be washed away by the water. I am not sure of how long it took me to finish showering, but the moment I stepped out of the shower the Chris’ room is awfully quiet. Did he go somewhere? I immediately went our of his room only to find him sleeping on the steel chair that was outside. Oh my goodness! So he stayed outside the whole time you were taking a bath in his shower?! That is so sweet! Now, that’s what you call a gentleman, Lucy! I think you might be right about this person. Maybe he does have a pure heart! He respected the fact that I was in his shower and so he opted to stay outside to make me feel comfortable. He also did not go inside my room probably because he was thinking that my things are in there. I was touched by what he did. If he were somebody else I
-Lucy’s POV-For some reason I was flushed. The feeling of his hand over my lips made me feel uncomfortable. However, the most boggling question is why do I feel so uneasy? This guy is friendly, kind, generous, and sweet. Maybe his gesture is also an act of kindness and nothing more to it. So, why do I feel this way? I shrug it off and focus on getting some sleep because tomorrow I have to find the perfect spot for me to meet up with Ronald as soon as possible.The sunlight shone through my windowpane and when I checked the time it was already 8 o’clock in the morning. I feel really tired and would love to just lie down and rest some more, but I know better. I have a business to run and with the current situation that I am in right now it will be a real challenge for me not to get caught by Conner. I was about to get up when there was a knock on the door. I hustled and made a quick check on how I looked in the mirror before opening the door. Did you really have to check on how you loo
- Conner’s POV –I see Lucy’s figure leaving. I wanted to run after her, but I have to complete my mission. This must stop or my relationship with my wife will be jeopardized. I clenched my fists and went roaring towards Margaret. My clenched fists banged hard on my table startling the innocent-looking Margaret. Her face is angelic, but her attitude is far from what she looks like!“ What the hell to do you think you are doing Margaret?! Are you that desperate?! Do you really think that by getting rid of my wife it would make me want you?” Margaret stood up from my swivel chair, ran towards me and hugged me. “Call me desperate or whatever! All I want is your love and be mine!” Her words gave a distasteful sting in my mouth. I forcefully took her arms and freed myself from her embrace. “Margaret, do you know why I could never learn to love you despite everything you have done for me?” I looked at her straight in the eyes, wanting to penetrate every ounce of my anger towards her. “You ar
