The Orphan's Goddess 1. There She Is
-Conner's POV- "RUN! CONNER RUN!" the voice in my head made me shut my eyes tight. "MOTHER! NO! I CAN'T!" the once ten-year-old Conner was torn between stepping towards the door to obey his mother's command or towards his mother lying on the floor crying, nose bleeding, body bruised from head to toe from the beatings of his father, Raul Lowell. He wanted to cover his tiny body over his mothers to protect her from getting another BIG BLOW his father might give her. However, what could he possibly do? His strength is no match from that of his father’s. Think Conner! Think! He was trying to figure out a way to grab his mother and escape from this misery. He was so confused that he ended up standing there helpless and unable to move. His tears were f
The Orphan's Goddess 2. Mr. Wise Man
-Conner's POV- "Miss! Don't do this!" I was shouting hysterically to make her stop, but she couldn't seem to hear me. I was running as fast as I could trying to catch up with her pace. "Miss, whatever your problem is this is not the solution! Miss! please stop!" Finally, I caught her wrist and with that first touch an electric bolt ran through my veins.Oh Dear God.She faced me the moment she realized that I was holding her. Tears were madly falling on her soft creamy cheeks. "What do you want from me?!" she asked calmly, but with intense fire right through her dark brown eyes. Although taken aback, I replied as calmly as I can, " What the hell are you doing?! You need to go back to the shore, now!" "Who are you to care? You don't even know me." She bowed her head down trying to hide the pain in her eyes, but even though I wanted to caress her cheeks and wipe away her tears I responded with a smirk and emphasized sarcasm in my voice, “Oh I know you, alrig
The Orphan's Goddess 3. I Hope So
-Lucy's POV- I caught the air of my lungs.Are my eyes deceiving me?I covered my mouth in disbelief.Oh my God! Scars. Too many of them. Who the hell are you?I could feel my whole body trembling. I couldn't control it. I have never felt so weak my entire life. He shouted at me "Common Miss! Come and join me! Don't miss the fun! It's almost dark!"With all the scars on his back, how could this man still put on a smile?I felt numb all over. If the situation my family broke my heart, this man made me feel more than that. Tears were filling up the sides of my eyes once again and without knowing it I was already crying. I'm such a cry baby! Then, I felt a brush on my cheeks and when I looked up, it was Mr. Wise Man. "Don't feel sorry." he whispered. "I don't want to see any lady crying. It reminds me of my mother. It reminds me of how she cried when I was younger. I don't want to cause you any pain. I just want&nbs
The Orphan's Goddess 4. The Nightmare
-Conner's POV- I haven't felt anything like this before. It's as if my heart is going to blow any second. I was walking back home when I heard her calling me. I was hesitant. Is she really calling me? I turned to see my lovely maiden run towards me.What is she doing this time? Is she really out of her mind? It's raining really hard now and she might get sick. I was too worried I had to run to her. "What the hell are you doing?! Go back to your house you might catch colds." It melted my heart when she said "Help me, please." and when she embraced me I couldn't do anything else but embrace her back. I had to break free from the hug because if we stayed longer in the rain she might get sick. I held her arms and looked at her in the eyes. "Now, how will I be able to help you if you will get sick? I need you in good health and most especially I need you to be safe. You have been wet for a long time now. You need to go home, freshen up and get some rest. You are one
The Orphan's Goddess 5. Not in Sight
-Conner’s POV- “Say what?” I was in shock. I have an uncle? “You heard me right young man. I am your uncle. Do you mind if we come in? It’s drizzling.” I blinked my eyes a couple of times trying to figure out what’s going on just then I realized that the man was right it was drizzling outside. “I-I’m sorry for my manners. Please do come in. I am sorry about my place I didn’t expect any visitors especially not at this kind of hour.” I quickly picked the trash on the table and some clothes on the floor. “My place is not big at all, but it’s my home. Please, take a seat. I only have one couch though.” I scratched the back of my head feeling awkward. Mr. Jack gave a soft laugh “Don’t you worry too much, son. I am just so happy that I finally found you.” I stiffened. I really didn’t know how to react. This man came out of the blue and is now claiming that he is my uncle. I mean, not just some uncle, he is a brother to my father. “I am sorry. I truly am in a shock right now. I mea
The Orphan's Goddess 6. He Led Me to You
-Lucy’s POV- I woke up staring at the ceiling not wanting to get up. What have I done? What should I do? And what will I do? My mind was looping around those questions when my mother knocked on the door. “Honey aren’t you going for walk today?” I sat up on my bed and sighed. “In a while, mom.” It has been my routine to go out and have a walk. Honestly, it wasn’t just an ordinary walk. I walk to get a chance to see Mr. Wise Man again. Everyday I look around and sometimes knock on doors to ask if they knew who Mr. Wise Man was and where he could possibly live. However, all were in vain. I stood up and went to the kitchen where my mother was. There was toasted bread and strawberry jam on the table. I grabbed a bite sluggishly that my mother noticed it. “Anything wrong, hon?” I gave out a fake smile to her and said, “No mom, just feeling a little lazy today. Thanks for the bread, I’ll go take my walk now.” I hurriedly went outside to avoid my mother’s eyes. I can’t affo
The Orphan's Goddess 7. A Protector
Nick’s POV- A month ago.. I was about to do some stretching when I noticed this young lady walk past my house. A new lady in town? She was walking and looking around like she was trying to find something until she started approaching people like she was asking something from them. I stopped what I was doing and ended up observing her. She got me curious of what she was trying to do. She was walking with no direction and stretching her neck while her eyes were searching. That confirmed my initial reaction that she was truly looking for something or maybe it could be someone until she stopped her tracks and began to slowly sit on the white sand. I guess she got tired from all the walking she did since early morning. I saw her pulling her hair up into a bun and wiped the sweat that was dropping from her forehead down to her neck. I swallowed concurrently as her hands went down her neck to wipe her sweat from there. What was that for, Nick? You are acting li
The Orphan's Goddess 8. Let Her Go
-Conner’s POV- A month has passed, and a lot of things has happened. When I agreed to go with my uncle Jack. It was a difficult decision to make, however there are so many unanswered questions about who I truly am, my blood line, my family and relatives. There has always been this empty space inside me, and I wish to fill it to make me whole. When we arrived at the Lowell mansion, he immediately introduced me to the rest of the Lowell family and to my surprise I was treated rather nicely than I was by my own father. Everyone was so warm to me that I questioned what was behind my father’s attitude. My uncle said that my grandfather and father had some misunderstanding in the past, it must be something really serious to make my father act like a monster I knew he was. There should be something behind these walls and I am going to find out what it is. I am going to find out the truth. While looking around the mansion I was truly amazed by how luxurious it was and what t

The Orphan's Goddess 73. I Will Always Be
-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
The Orphan's Goddess 70. Blacked Out
-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
The Orphan's Goddess 69. Change of Plans
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
