Author: Writer Great
last update Last Updated: 2023-06-29 22:38:54

What the hell was I doing? I wasn't usually like this, I wasn't pathetic. But I was gradually slipping into being pitiful and sticking up to someone and I didn't see anything wrong about it.

Lucas was turning me into a sober lady, I wasn't a sober person. Maybe, civil to an extent but definitely not sober. "Use your seatbelt," Lucas said, clicking his seatbelt.

"Yeah sure," I said, and fumbled with the seatbelt, he smirked. I had made it obvious that I was nervous. He pulled the seatbelt and clicked it.

He pressed the start button and started driving out of the mansion, "How'd it go?" I questioned, referring to the trip he had gone for. There was no response.

I rolled my eyes, he was embarrassing me and he enjoyed every bit of it. "You didn't mention it, I even asked your Dad and–"

"Samantha cut me some slack," he said. Now, he was acting like a jerk, a cold jerk.

"Lucas, is there something I should know?" I questioned turning to face him, from the corner of my eyes I saw him staring

    "See you tomorrow Emily," I said, as I packed my laptop with one hand and grabbed my bag with the other."Have a pleasant day, ma'am," she replied. Only that my day wasn't so pleasant. I stepped out of the office and handed my access card to her."Here take this," I said, "I'll be a bit late tomorrow, drop my schedule on my table,"She nodded and collected the card from me, "No problem ma'am,"I turned around and started walking towards Lucas' office which was four offices away from mine, "Um… ma'am," Emily called out.I turned around and faced her, "Yes, Emily. What's the problem?"She shook her head, "He left the office already," My hands stiffened at her words, he left the office without giving me a heads up. I felt like I was being stood up– fuck you Lucas."It's okay, maybe he had something urgent to attend to," I replied, trying to hide the look of disappointment that spread on my face.She nodded, "I can order a–"I dismissed her with a wave of hand, "No, no, you go right ahead

    I slowly opened my eyes and shut it as fast as I opened it, I worked my way through my body and realized my shirt was gone. I was bare-chest and Why was I wrapped in a down comforter?I tried to get up but it was a struggle, my head hurt so much I cupped it between my hands. What was going on? I looked around and saw Samantha looking at me. She held a cup in her hands, I eyed me looking intently at my face. I wanted to do the same but my head felt like it was being hit by a tornado.We stared at each other for a while, none of us trying to break the silence. I didn't have anything to say to her because I was a jerk and she must really think lowly of me. I left her at the office without checking in to tell her and to top it up. I came home embarrassingly drunk.She didn't look angry, the look on her face was one of disappointment and frustration. I felt a little bad but I had no reason to explain anything to her. If I could just get out of the bed and walk away, but I can't so I looked

    I held my breath as Lucas spat out hurtful words, "Stay away from me," he said. If it was easy I'd get up and walk out of the door without giving it a second thought. But, it wasn't I couldn't lift myself up from the bed. So, I just watched him. He withdrew from me and straightened himself."If you would just speak up and stop acting like a…cowards," I mumbled the last word.He growled, "You think I'm a coward?" He thundered. I looked at the door and feared for our secret, he was losing his mind but there was so much we… he would lose if someone walked through that door and met us in this situation.I shook my head, "No, Lucas I don't think you're a coward I-"He cut me off. "You what now," he scoffed. "You want to go all decent and act like you're the victim?"I was the victim. Lucas was pushing me too hard. I wanted to get angry at what he just said. No, he wasn't the victim I was. He came home drunk last night and I watched over him. And last night, when he puked on the bed as soon

    I woke up with a start. This room was different, exotic but with plain designs. It was smaller than the room I slept in every other day. I looked around confused for a while. Why was I? I tried to get my thoughts in track, starting from the episode with Lucas."Just great," I murmured, tossing aside the comforter from my body. I remembered leaving Lucas and coming to sleep in the guest room. I laid back on the bed and folded my hands in my belly while I stared at the ceiling. My thoughts drifted back to him, how was he doing? Was he more sober?I sat up straight. I shouldn't be thinking of that bleeping idiot that made me feel less of myself. I stayed laid back on the bed for a while, digesting everything that was happening one at a time. I had to change into fresh clothes and also take a shower. And my breath smelled of rotten croissants– I needed a wash.I rolled out of the bed. And ran my fingers through my hair, before tying it up in a bun. As much as I didn't want to, I had to go

    "Good morning Samantha," Andres greeted. He had a wide grin on his face, for someone who loathed his brother, Andres' grin was quite suspicious.I sucked in a breath and placed the brush on the dresser, he walked in closer and I turned to face him. I didn't want him to see how apprehensive I was, "Good morning Andres," I replied, a wide smile dancing on my lips.He looked around the room and back at me. I heard him exhale deeply, and I could swear it echoed through the room, there was a long pause. He cleared his throat, "I was thinking if I could have a word with you,"I rubbed the back of my neck with my hands, it was awkward standing there with him in the room, after what happened. "Yeah sure," I mumbled.He smiled and stretched out his hands, I cautiously placed mine on them and he squished them warmly–Andres was acting strange."Thank you, I promise I won't take much of your time," he said,I pointed towards the door, "Can we have the conversation outside, downstairs in the livin

    A sudden chill ran through my veins, when I noticed Lucas standing by the door. He had a murderous look on his face as he peered from Andres and back to him. I stood up supporting myself with the arm of the couch.He walked up to us. "What's this supposed to mean? What's going on here?"' he asked, his voice laced with anger. Andres tugged at the button of his suit, he seemed calm. Of course, he was calm, Andres relished in having arguments that were uncalled for with his brother.Andres extended his hand for a handshake. "Good morning man…" he greeted, "I was just about to leave," he said, picking up his suit on the couch."You won't go anywhere if you don't answer my question," Lucas glared. His eyes were twitching and it was only a matter of time before he brought the door down with his voice.Andres mumbled, "What question?"Lucas arched his brows and cast a deluxe I-am-so-disappointed stare at me. I looked down. I was getting a hold of myself, I just wanted to gather my thoughts a

    I flagged down a taxi and entered, "Java Inc, fourth avenue," I said. The driver smiled exposing a crooked tooth, "Alright, ma'am,"I got to the company and started making my way to the elevator. I pushed the button rather too hard, transferring my aggression to the elevator– rather too pathetic.The elevator ride was uncomfortable. I felt like I was being stowed in a black hole and was getting lost. I was too livid from what Lucas had done. I almost bumped into Valerie when I stepped out of the elevator."I'm so sorry ma'am," she gasped.I placed my hands on her shoulders, "It's okay Emily,"She smiled and nodded, "Would you like me to go over…"I cut in, "No, I'd like you to get me a cup of coffee and ice water," I said, and she looked at me with a confused look."Okay ma'am," I'll do that. I had just appeared as a weird person in front of my subordinate. Can today get any worse?She turned around and entered the elevator. I walked into my office, making a mental note not to look ov

    The car was moving at a normal pace. Trying to keep up with his speed, but I was anxious. I had to be careful not to be caught. For a moment, I thought about turning back and heading towards the house. If he wanted to go anywhere after work, that's on him. The drive was a bit too long, and I occasionally pushed my head to the driver's side to check if we were still on track with him.After what felt like eternity, he pulled up in front of a luxurious private club, at the outskirts of town. What was he doing here? I silently prayed he hadn't come here to do the obvious– drink and return home drunk, and get angry over flimsy things.I tucked some dollar bills into the driver's hands, "Thank you for your services," I said with a smile, "Um… do you mind waiting for me until I come back?" I asked.He hesitated, "Madam I don't–"I sighed, "I'll pay you double the price when I get back," I mumbled. His face lit up "Fine, I'll be waiting," he said with a groan.I grinned, "Thank you," I grabb

    Days had passed and everything seemed to return back to normal except for a few times– when I saw Audrey, either at the house during breakfast or at the office. Asides that, my relationship with Lucas was moving just fine.I got out of the bed and made to walk into the bathroom to prepare for work when I lost balance and fell back on the bed. My head felt fuzzy and my legs were wobbly. I held the back of my neck to keep it steady, but it was like a log of wood was stuck in my head."My goodness…" I muttered under my breath as I managed to stand up and started making my way to the bathroom, when I felt bile rise to my throat. I quickened my steps, turned on the faucet when I stepped foot into the bathroom and threw up all the content in my stomach. I felt fuzzy the more I threw up, I slid onto the floor and leaned my back against the wall.There was a knock on the door. "Come in…" my voice was faint, even through the sound of the water gushing out I knew he must've heard.Lucas came in

  • When Storm Meets Hail    SAMANTHA’S POV

    I had mixed feelings about Lucas' actions. Yes, Audrey was a bit too much, but she was carrying his baby or at least that was what she made us think. Perhaps, he should have been a little lenient with her and let her be till she puts to bed."Are you cussing at me because of Samantha?" Audrey's tone was that of bewilderment.A vein in Lucas' neck pulsed hard, "My wife. That's who she is and I wouldn't have you displace her," he tightened his grip in my hands, "Now get out," his voice was calm but had the sharp edge of a sword.Audrey looked at me intently and I could clearly see through the hatred that brewed from her. She stared for a while and left.Lucas turned to face me. "I shouldn't have picked up a fight with her in the office," I regretted my actions, but it was much needed.He placed a finger over my lips, "It's okay pumpkin, you don't have to defend anything," his voice reached to my heart and patched the broken pieces like the holes weren't there to begin with."I love you

    My schedule stared at me and I could barely make out the words. I had a meeting slated for four p.m and I was already bored. I was tired sick of everything happening, Samantha was doing a good job trying to keep it together but, for how long would she keep up with the act.A knock sounded on my door, the door creaked open and my secretary walked in. "Sir the meeting–"I rubbed my forehead in frustration, "I know what time the meeting is slated for,"She nodded and walked towards my desk to pick my laptop. "It's in five minutes right?" I questioned."Yes Sir, and some of the board members are already on their way," she said.I waved my hands in dismissal. I was suffocating and nobody was seeing it, or maybe they were and they can't do anything to salvage the situation. Audrey coming to the office was something I'd never have imagined to happen and it did.What was my father thinking, agreeing to it in the first place? He hated her the moment he set eyes on her, ''She's not good enough

    Soon after Lucas left for his office, Laura walked in looking a bit disgruntled and without my regular morning coffee."Laura, I thought you left to get my coffee?" I questioned, when in fact she left to give Lucas and I privacy.She inched closer to my desk, "The new staff took the cup of coffee from me," her voice was low, I had to strain my ears to make out what she was saying.I clenched my fist into a ball, taking a deep seated breath to quench the anger that was threatening to erupt. "And who's the new lady?"You know who.Laura tugged at the edge of her shirt, "Audrey–"Take a deep breath Samantha. I took a deep breath, paused for a few seconds and forced a smile across my face. "Thank you Laura, you may leave now," I tried so hard to conceal the disdain in my voice."I'm sorry ma'am. I should have been more careful. But, she just snatched it from–"I raised a finger to stop her from saying more. I should have scolded her, but this had absolutely nothing to do with the young la

  • When Storm Meets Hail    SAMANTHA’S POV

    All through the drive, all I could think of was; What would the other staff say when they see Audrey and with a growing bump? Besides Lucas' secretary whom I was sure would keep the situation under lock, I wonder who else got wind of the news.I tried to focus on other things. Other things like exposing Audrey for whom she really was. I don't know if it was what comes with old age or his way of punishing Lucas for slipping up but Javier wasn't seeing Audrey for the sly she was and it bothered me."Samantha…"What does she want now?No response. I wasn't in the mood to talk to her and I was only doing what Javier asked, "I just want to get acquainted to the Java's working system," she rubbed her bulging stomach gently, "It would be nice if I get some experience to at least share with him when he comes of age and is ready to follow in the family's footsteps," she laughed.Lucas, where are you?I bit so hard at my lower lips until I felt the coppery taste of blood in my mouth. Don't cry.

    After my visit to Valerie's place, I became more sensitive to Audrey's movements. Where she went to, what she did when we were out. So far, nothing out of the ordinary has happened."Lucas, wait up for me!" Valerie cried from the stairs. We were already running late and one of Audrey's dramas was something we didn't want so early in the morning.Lucas sighed sharply, "What the hell do you want this time?" He gritted.I hope it wasn't what I was thinking. She was dressed in a black velvet gown that stopped just on her ankles, court shoes and a blazer over the gown. It wasn't exactly my style but she looked good."I am coming to the office today," Audrey said.I was a bit taken aback, "Why?" We asked almost at the same time.She rolled her eyes in disgust, "Isn't it obvious?" She sighed, "I want to start working at the company," she looked at me with disdain, "Afterall she works there too,"There was no way in hell. The vein at the back of my neck pulsed hard, and I felt my heart bruise

    Going to the office and coming back to the mansion to see Audrey with her fast growing bump wasn't something I looked forward to. I tried to square my shoulders and act like nothing's wrong when on the contrary, I was dying slowly.Audrey altered everything. The peace in the house, the scent and everything to suit her smell on the basis of being hyper sensitive to smell. Lucas ignored her and acted like she was some sorta ghost. But, I knew he looked forward to having his own child.It wasn't the birth of the child that irked me, it was the vessel bearing that child that made this unacceptable."Good morning Ma'am," Laura greeted when I got to work one morning.I nodded in response and made my way to the office. She followed in silence till we reached the door."Do I have any schedule that'll take me out of the office?" I asked when I slouched into the chair. She looked through her memo."Yes ma'am. A meeting with the investors slated to take place by three p.m and–"I waved my hands

    I waited till the two lovebirds drove off to work before I started getting ready to go out. It was already past nine a.m exactly and I was a few minutes behind time. The prison visiting hours would be due in forty-five minutes.I'd been in touch with Andres since he was convicted of the crime. They'd all forgotten about him, I couldn't not after all we shared together. He wasn't the nicest person but he ignited the fire in me."Where are you off to?" Javier's voice sounded from the stairs when I opened the door. Lousy old man. I rolled my eyes and put on a calm expression before turning to face him.I flashed him a grin, "I'm going for antenatal," I lied. I could only hope he didn't request I go with the chauffeur because then I would be busted.He nodded, "Have a nice day," his voice was cold. I knew he didn't like me, he never did. Not when I was with Lucas, not when I was with Andres. I wondered why he didn't object to I and Andres' relationship when he got wind of it. Maybe he kne

    She looked at the door, maybe hoping for a sign of Lucas then back at me. "Look I didn't ask your husband to get pregnant–"I sensed her anxiety from a mile away. Now was the time to act, "On the contrary, I don't care for you," My gaze lingered on her and fell on her growing stomach. "You would stay here till you give birth,"Audrey leaned into the bed, "I don't intend on moving out after childbirth if that's where you're driving at," her voice was a little shaky but she did a good job hiding it."We'll see about that. After childbirth, you'd go for a DNA test to ascertain who the father of the child is,"Now she got started, her face squeezed into a frown. "What the hell are you saying?"I rolled my eyes. Audrey. Audrey. Audrey. Still as vain as ever, "Exactly what you heard. If you claim Lucas is the father of your child," I paused when the housekeeper walked into the room from the closet and waited till she left, "Then we need to confirm, afterall…" my voice trailed off when she s
