Later that night in Lucy’s house,
They were preparing to go to sleep.
“I’m done with the bed, you can go to sleep,” Robin said to his wife who was standing near the corner of the bed, wearing her nightdress, and drying off her hair using the towel in her hand.
“Goodnight,” he said walking away from there towards the sofa where he usually plays.
Lucy placed away from the towel, jumped onto the bed, and sat, watching her husband trying to make the sofa comfy with the blanket and pillow.
She was clenching onto the bed cover and was feeling a little bit guilty.
In the end, she made up her mind when she recalled the incidents throughout the day.
“If it’s not the time when is it then?”.
“Stop what you are doing,” she called, raising her voice.
Robin was alarmed. So he stopped doing what he was doing and placed away from the blanket which he took with him by a si
Soon the morning came, Robin woke up earlier, as he was the only one who couldn’t sleep no matter what. Bags formed under his eyes, making him look half-asleep. “I should prepare breakfast and get her clothes ironed.” He was cooking, all of a sudden his phone ringed. He was making soup, he turned off the gas, and went to pick up the phone. “Hello,” he took a seat on the chair. “Young master, this is me, Chris. Good morning.” “Oh, Chris. Good morning. How are you?”. “I’m doing well all thanks to you. But how are you doing? Everything going alright with the young lady?”. “Ah….yes.” “What did you call for early in the morning?”. “Well….master told me to give you some instructions. You have work.” “Work? For a useless son like me?”. “Yes, and please don’t call
When they walked out of the lift, Lucy walked out, towards their new department. She opens up the door and is greeted by Chelsa. “Good morning.” Lucy also greeted back, “Good morning. When did you come? Aren’t you too early?”. “Yes, but when I thought someone new would be joining us, I couldn’t hide the urge to look cool in front of the new person so that he’ll at least respect us, that’s why.” “He?”. “Take a seat first, the others will arrive one by one,” Chelsa guided her towards her seat. The cabin was different than the old one they used to stay in. She went to her seat and looked at the things. Chelsa came and placed the files on her table. “There are some boxes left to arrive from our old room. Would you mind helping me bring them from the old room to this room?”. “Ah, sure.” They were busy till Nick and Zoe arrived. They also helped them out and eventually they manag
“Seems like everything is going the way we want it to go,” Noir comments, taking a sip of her juice in hand. A playful and pleasant smile formed on her lips, as she cuts through the steak presented on her plate.Chris grilled it and brought it to her.“Is this from the guy you hired?” Robin’s dad asked. He was also eating the steak made by Chris.“Is he working properly as we are telling him to?”.“Yes, he is working properly. Hope to hear good news from him soon.”“How much time did you give him?” he gulped down his drink and ate again.“One to two weeks.”“Hmm, hope he can finish in a short time.”“Leaving that aside, Where did you send Robin by the way?” Noir asked with curiosity.“He? I sent him in Trevor to deal with people. Negotiations are one of his greatest virtues.”“This sounds like a pesky job. You are a tease, aren’t you uncle?”.“I may be, after all, I’m giving him so much money whenever he needs to help his wife. He needs to pay it back in labor.”“I need some salt,” he
“You want to send him to jail?” Lucy, glanced back at Henry, trying to understand the situation carefully.Hearing the word jail, something rang in Henry’s ears, and his eyes turned a bit darker than earlier. He pushed away from his hand of Zoe and glared at him.“What?” Zoe grunts. “You have the nerve to give me that look when you are trying to stalk your boss in her office? Is this how you are showing your true colors?”.Henry bites his lips and exasperated a deep sigh. He straightens his posture and turns to Lucy.“I had been looking for a way to tell you that you had done a mistake on project 23. The calculations are a bit off. But then I thought, how could you, the boss make a mistake, so I felt a bit hesitant to tell you about it. which is why I couldn’t bring up this matter no matter what. That’s the reason behind all the confusion in the first place.”“I kept staring at you trying to tell you, and Zoe saw me and thought of me as a stalker which I am not mistakenly.”Zoe’s eyes
Henry walked slow and steadily through the corridor, smiling. He relaxed his hands into his pockets and went towards the cafeteria.He sat down and ordered a coffee for him along with a pastry.“Seems like, the medicine was just enough for him. Now he won’t think about bothering in my missions. Calling me a criminal and threatening me to send to jail, weren’t you? The one who’s suffering is you, and not me.”“This way, Lucy already lost trust in him and I’ll do the same thing with the other ones as well. After that, all her business relations will be destroyed and she won’t have anyone in the office to call her friend, and the only one she’ll turn to help is me, Henry Sullivan.”“I’ll break through her barrier, and get close to her. The next target after this will be her husband.”“Slowly, you’ll like and trust me only, and hate everyone. This is how I’ll conquer you.”“You’ll love me only, and no one. Mark my words. I am not lying.”He finished his food and got up, only to receive a
Bruce handed him the tea and snacks, and sat down in front of him. He brought an coffee cup for himself. Robin took a bite and calmed down. He glanced at him from the corner of his eyes. But Bruce looked outside the window, watching something. Robin also looked out, to see some old people walking through the street in front of his house. He smiled a little for the first time ever since Robin came here. When he glanced back, Robin lowered his eyes away, sipping his tea. Bruce straightens his posture and turned to him. “You had been, sitting here for half an hour, and all you are drinking is tea. You aren’t speaking about the reason for coming here at all.” “You didn’t came to drink tea, from all the way, did you?”. Robin looks up, hearing the comment. Bruce looked serious this time. He wasn’t joking. Robin looked sideways to divert his attention. But he sighs, not able to think of anything. He placed away his cup, and then turns to Bruce. He was determined to tell him the tr
“Why are you calling me worst?” asked his dad. He was in his office at the moment, smoking his cigar.“You sent me to Trevor to deal with the government official. You knew that he was using this house to take care of orphans and old people. Then why do you want to take this house away from them even though you know that you are doing the wrong deed?”.“They have nowhere to go any longer. Why do you want to take this property away?”.His dad heaved a sigh and spoke, “I knew that they have no place to go. But I need their property. I need that place, and I have already paid them the money. What’s wrong if I want to take it away from them?”.“They can use the money to go anywhere they please, can’t they?”.“I don’t believe it!” Robin grunts.“You knew all of this and sent me here to persuade them to leave their home?”.“You want to make me the villain here? Are you such an evil person? I never thought you would be like this, dad.”“I feel ashamed to be your son. You want to drive away fr
Before his dad could say anything, he ends up the call. His dad became infuriated. He threw the phone onto the table and got up from his seat. He walked over to the side of the window and smoked another pack of cigarettes. He thought of another plan to wreak havoc on his son who's doing as he pleases without listening to his dad helping him out so much. He inhaled and exhaled, opening and closing his mouth often but not speaking anything. His mind stopped working, and the only thing that played in his mind is, The destruction, How to take revenge on his son. He ran out of the office and went straight home. He walked past Chris in rage and went straight up to his room. He opens the door with a bang sound. Chris could hear it from downstairs clearly.He stood with a broom in his hands."Master is back. The noise seems to be from his room. Is he angry about something? I had never seen him angry so much though." "I should check up after cleaning." “How could he do this to me?” shout
After that, Lucy and Robin open an café together where they both work by themselves. She opened it with the money she had saved while working in office.They live their days happily, with her mom and dad.1 year later, they managed to make it one of the popular café in town.Christina and Noir comes to visit from time to time with their new boyfriend.Christina is dating Hughes from Lucy’s family, and Noir is dating Henry.Lucy’s grandpa was devasted, but didn’t said anything when Lucy sold her company because of Robin.The main house only remained a small part of their wealth.Gray and Isabella had a son and the whole family divided up.Grandpa kicked all of them out and lets the house sit empty.Lucy doesn’t go to visit.Today’s another day at work. While robin was working, someone came up to the counter.He thought it was a client, so he asked, “What can I get you?”.“I’d like my son back. Can you give him back to me?”.“Your son? What?” he looked up to see his father standing.He
Lucy takes an taxi and heads out towards Bradley mansion.“I have to go. I have to stop him.”“Even after knowing the truth, I can’t let it happen.”“I have to stop it.”“Lucy. Hurry up!”.“I don’t care whether he loves me or not. I can’t let him sacrifice his life, just for the sake of my achievement.”“I won’t let that happen.”She reached the house on time.Meanwhile, Christina and Robin stood face to face at the isle.Richard’s guests were all present at the spot.The priest began to speak, “And now, lift up the veil of the Bride.”“Then we shall began the engagement ceremony.”Robin looked at Christina, and reached his hand towards her direction.His hands were trembling.She had closed her eyes, unable to stare into his face.“Do I really have to do this?”.Lucy’s face was appearing on his mind.“I am betraying her this way, aren’t I?”.“Will I be able to face her after all this?”.He touched her veil, about to lift it up.Only to hear a voice coming from the doorway.“Stop it r
The night seemed to long, but eventually it passed by.In the morning, Lucy woke up and brushed her hair.After brushing she goes to have breakfast.When she finished eating she goes to her room for one final time.Suddenly, her phone started ringing.She looks around, searching for the source of the noise.And found it sitting on the bed.She picked it up and looked at the screen, only to see none other than Chris’s number displaying.“Who’s this now?”.“Hello, who?”.“I’m Chris, thanks for picking up.”“Chris? Who’s that?”.“I need you to come to a place, please come immediately.”“A place? But where?”.“I’m sending the location, please come by 9, it’s urgent.”“9, but why?”.“You need to know something. It’s about Mr. Robin. If you won’t hear it out you might regret it later.”“Regret?” Lucy became puzzled for a second.“What are you talking about? Please explain.”“You only need to hear this, nothing else.”“I’m hanging up for now. I’ll be waiting.”“hey, hello-“.Lucy stared at h
After that, wedding preparations were going in the Bradley household.Everywhere there are lights, decorations many guests are invited for it.While Richard was reading aloud the name of the guests he was inviting, Robin was just staring out at the door without listening to him.His dad noticed this and called, “Are you still wishing that your wife will come back and waste this marriage?”.“You are already divorced. Stop daydreaming.”Robin turns to his dad with an worried face.“What? No, I’m not thinking about anything like that.”“That’s written all over your face. Stop looking at the past and move forward with the future.”“you will have a new life with a new partner. Why don’t you-“.Christina came from the other corner of the room.Richard spots her and smiled. “There she is, your would-be wife. Come here dear.” Robin looks out to see Christina.“Sit beside him. I want to discuss about your dress and everything. We don’t have much time so we have to hurry up and arrange it.”
“Divorce papers sent by Mr. Robin.” Replied the man in a cold tone.Lucy’s eyes widened in shock.“What?”.“Mr. Robin wants to break off this marriage, which is why he has sent me these papers along with his signs. If you sign them then this agreement will be complete.”“After this, you two will no longer be husband and wife.”Lucy’s whole world crumbled. She couldn’t believe anything at all.The lawyer handed out the papers to her to review.“Have a look.” Lucy peeked at the file, still unable to believe it.Then she picked it up gently, and starts to check inside.Robin’s sign remained there by itself.She ran her fingers across the signature.“I know it’s quite sudden news for you to take,” The lawyer began to speak.“But, even you knew it yourself, that this day was going to come eventually.”“You two had been staying separated for over a week, so he finally made up his mind.”“He don’t want anything to do with you, so please if you feel the same, then sign this agreement.”“This
Soon after that, she goes back home and tells her parents about it. knowing this, they become very much happy.But they also ask about her husband whom they haven’t seen for a whole week.Lucy still doesn’t plan on telling them about it. her mom tried to call Robin, but Lucy stopped her from calling him.At the end, Grandpa invited her out for the ceremony which will happen tomorrow to make her the heir of the Campbell group and industries.Lucy went to bed with an happy face.Meanwhile, while having dinner along with his dad, Richard sat in the middle with an blank face.He didn’t touch the food yet.Chris noticed this and comments, “Please eat up something. You didn’t eat since the afternoon.”Richard looked at his son.“Oh, he didn’t eat, why?”.“He was worried for Ms. Lucy, that’s why.”“Oh?” Richard glanced at Robin and began to talk.“I met her today face to face. Quite an enthusiastic spirit considering they are the Campbells.”“I invested quite an large amount of money today.
His dad and Robin appeared sitting in the back of the car, smoking a cigar.“Hm….you know it yourself how much of an amount you are telling me to invest in her, aren’t you?”.“That’ll cost you a lot.” “Are you willing to pay for it?”.Robin looked at him with a straightforward gaze.“I know, but I’m still going to take the risk anyway.”“Hm…..”."You may never see her again. Will you still risk it?" his eyes were serious when he looked at Robin. Robin takes a deep breath, "I don't care. As long as she is happy, as long as she wins and earns her reputation, I don't care.""I want her to achieve her goal. I'm ready to pay any price." Richard clicked his tongue, "I hate brainless monkey's like you. Hard to think you are my son." “Alright then.”“I don’t mind helping you out.”“As long as you get to divorce her in the end, I don’t care.”“I will,” Robin said, taking a deep breath.“Good then. I’ll be investing this amount of money on the project in their company.” He showed him the ca
The next morning.By the time Lucy’s team reached office, she had already arrived and started working.“When did you came?” Nick asked, putting down his bag.“Quite an couple of hours ago. You all sit down and start working.”“The meeting will be in 11, then we will focus on the next one after the deal is signed.”“There’s no time to waste, hurry up!”.“Ah, yes!”.They get into work, and attend the meeting. And they manage to get the deal signed.They finished the next meeting before evening and got it signed as well.And at last, it was time for the board to refresh for the day.Lucy was inside the building getting the paperwork ready to give them to Picado.Her team mates had already gone downstairs.When the board refreshed she was right in front of the window.Her eyes widened in shock to see the board.Her name was on the 2nd, and Olivia was on the 3rd and Gray was on the 4th along with Hughes.She stood there for a couple of minutes shocked, unable to believe what she was seeing
He closed the door behind him and locked it. Then carried her up to the bed, and placed her on the bed roughly.Christina looked up at his face unable to understand what was going on.“What is he planning to do?”.He held her hands above her head and peered deep into her eyes.Her throat was starting to go dry out of fear and excitement.“Um…Robin….”.He clicked his tongue and pulled her roughly, helping her get up on her feet from the bed.They stood face to face on the ground.He was starting to take off his clothes. She adverted her eyes right away.He finally unbuttoned his shirt and now stood topless.“Kneel!” he commanded in a harsh tone.She was startled when he yelled.“Uh…..”.“Are you saying-“.“Kneel!” he said again.“On the ground?” she stuttered.He nodded his head sideways.She glanced down at the carpet lying at her feet and gets down on her feet.“Kneel as a dog does!” he added.She changed her posture and sat just like an obedient dog does.She looked at his face and
