The man behind the Artistic smile A punch is all that it takes
Within a split second, Nick punched his face of Hughes without any thought.Chelsa’s eyes widened seeing this. She could hardly believe what he did just now. everything happened so fast that she couldn’t see it.It took her some moment to process the words into her mind.“She’s an employee, not a low-life servant!” Nick stated, removing his hand from Hughes's face.Blood was dripping down from Hughes's nose, reaching up to his lips.His eyes turned all red from anger.“It hurts!” he cried out, covering his face with his hands. To stop the blood from flowing out he took out his handkerchief and covered his face with it.“Forgive me, but I couldn’t stop myself from doing that.” Nick apologized, backing away.“Cause you deserved that for behaving like that with her, and insulting her as a low-life servant.”“I’ll make you pay for this! I’ll do it!” Hughes shouted.Chelsa stepped forward about to speak up. But Nick didn’t give her the chance to do it.He took her by the hand and dragged h

Seeing this they both went their separate ways feeling embarrassed.He gave a strange look to them.“Is everything alright?” he asked them.Chelsa cleared her throat. Nick went up to his seat without saying anything else.After some minutes pass, the door opens with a loud bang this time.Chelsa and everyone present in the room heard the noise and became alert.Hughes stepped inside the door wearing a grumpy look on his face. His nose had been bandaged and he came in while placing his hands on his pockets.“Is Lucy here?” he yelled, looking here and there throughout the room.This time, Zoe got up from his seat and walked over to the door, and saw Hughes standing.He had a file in his hand.“Um……”.“What might you be here for?” he asked.“Where is Lucy? I need to talk to her! I am her cousin's brother, Hughes Campbell.”“Oh, I’ll go and call her right away, please wait for a little.”“And what’s your business?”.Hughes gave a death glare.“I don’t need to say about it to you.”Nick he

Nick narrowed his eyes at Hughes, his face showing no expressions.“Yes, I called you a liar. You have any problem?” he retorted in a sarcastic tone which pissed off Hughes more than he had imagined.Hughes was about to explode, turning into a bomb at any moment without any triggers.Hughes heaved a deep sigh and went all silent.He paused without speaking at all.Suddenly, he gave an icy gaze to Nick.“I have decided!”.He looked away.“I’m going to kick you out of this office, no matter what it takes me to.”Chelsa’s eyes widened hearing the word Kick out.She walked up to Nick and tugged at his wrists.“Why don’t you apologize? This isn’t going to work like this.”“Apologies, maybe he’ll let us off.”Hughes could hear what she whispered to Nick.He smirked and placed his hands in his pockets.“I don’t understand what’s going on here at all!” Lucy admitted, stepping forward.“Who’s lying here and who’s telling the truth? I am confused.”Henry nods in approval.“Yes, I don’t understa

Hughes took the phone from the man’s hand and then turned on the video recording.He showed it to others.After seeing it everyone’s eyes widened.Chelsa’s throat went dry as sweats formed over her forehead.Henry watched the video very clearly, and after a while, he concluded.“I hope everything is clear to you at the moment!” Hughes stated, staring at Nick and Chelsa.Lucy clenched her fists and went over to her side of Nick.She stared at his face. He could hardly keep looking her eye to eye. His words got stuck in his throat.“I…all of this-“.Lucy slapped him across the face without any thought on her mind.“I wasn’t expecting you to do this at all.”“You ruined my reputation over nothing.”“I’m disappointed!”.Chelsa looked at Nick with a horrified expression on her face.“Because of me, he had to be slapped.”“Everything is my fault.”“Then your brother was telling the truth all this while? Wasn’t he?” Henry comments, stepping forward.Zoe looked at Nick with confusion.“Why di

Hughes's eyes widened hearing Nick’s statement.“You, scum!” he rushed to Nick’s side right away and grabbed him by the collar.“You are still trying to blame me. I am the one who harassed her? Do you have any proof for your words?”.“You should get your eyes checked. Cause, I wasn’t harassing her at all.”Nick glanced sideways and looked at the man whom he brought with him.“He was with her the entire time, right? He must have seen you harassing her. Didn’t you?”.Hughes glanced at the man who brought the footage.His eyes stopped him from talking anything else further.“I….”.“Speak up! You saw him harassing her, right?” Nick pointed at him, stabbing a finger.Hughes's throat went dry as he was sweating a little also.Zoe came from behind and held onto the man’s hand to stop him from moving.“Confess the truth! We want to hear it.”Lucy, Henry, and Chelsa both looked in the man’s direction waiting to hear his response.That man lowered his eyes away, took off his glasses, and wiped

During the afternoon Lucy received a call from someone. While she was talking, Nick went to give her a file and heard something from far away.“Yes, Grandpa. I’m listening.”“Oh, you are talking about what happened with Brother Hughes.”She went silent.“I’m much apologetic about their behaviors. Please try to understand the situation and then make any decision please.”“I know, they were at fault. He shouldn’t have acted violently. I’am apologizing in their stead. Please listen to me.”Nick gripped onto the file tightly and turned away leaving.“Can you please spare their jobs only? This is the only thing I’m telling you to consider for them.”“This my request Grandpa. Please don’t refuse.”“I should go to the main mansion today?”.“But-“.“Okay, I’ll be there as soon as office is over.”She sighs and sets down her phone on the table, leaning her head onto the chair.Her mind goes blank whenever she thinks about what’s going to happen in the evening.“I should’ve tried much harder to

After that, evening came.Lucy took the car and left for home. Henry didn’t get a chance to talk with her before the office was over.Lucy had called Robin that she might be late today, and not to worry.She reached the main house in a while.The moment she stepped inside the house, she felt a shiver running down her back.“I can only imagine all of them against me.” “God knows what’s going to happen to me.”She inhaled a deep breath and stepped forward with her head held high. "I have to stay optimistic even in bad times." She approached the big hall where the others gather for important talks.Ever since childhood, she always hated to be around the so-called adults who never acted like adults in the first place.They always hated their family and never liked it when they used to come for family gatherings.Her siblings never used to play with her and mostly avoided her.“Why do they have to create trouble for me all the time just because they don’t like me?”.Suddenly, one of the

Some hours later, everyone arrives at the hall, sitting side by side.Lucy was late as she was washing off her shirt. She was on the way, wiping off the shirt with her handkerchief as it was still wet.“Ah, the stain has still here. What am I going to do?”.“Guess, this is not coming out any moment now.”She reached the hall and everyone gave an intense stare at her.She glanced sideways and pairs of eyes followed her.Her grandpa sat in the middle with his pair of glasses with a grumpy face.There was a seat abandoned in the middle, making it seem like was only for her as everyone was already sitting.She glanced at it and turns to her grandpa.“Ah….good evening Grand-“.“Have a seat first! Then we’ll talk!” he replied before letting her complete her sentence.She nods lightly and approached the seat and sat down slowly.She kept her head lowered and placed her hands on her knees. One maid appeared behind grandpa.On the right side, sat Gray’s mom and dad, then Olivia’s mom and dad,

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

The man behind the Artistic smile The Divorce agreement
“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

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.

The man behind the Artistic smile The final request
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.

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
