CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWOIt was a clear, beautiful morning and I woke up sound and hearty. Everything brings happiness. I didn't need to be reminded that morning has come by, watching Lucas throw his suit on. Rather, I was reminded of that with a kiss. A soft kiss that boasts up the wife in me.I woke up to see a message from the Agency. I was informed that the deal was done with Sir Mark and I need to come over. Another win, my heart was filled with clay as I rushed through all day. I had the feeling that this would be one of my very best.I have never been on TV, so it was the right avenue to push myself into the world. Today, after breakfast, Lucas offered to pick me up for lunch after my meeting at the agency. How sweet the sound, I couldn't decline such an offer, not when the man I cherished so much had offered. I nodded with a calm I didn't feel. He smiled and squeezed my hand with his left hand. I could feel the appetite coming as I pushed the meal down my throat. I came to the agr

Helen With profound excitement, I stepped out of the car. Pushing away the thoughts that never ceased to pump into my heart with every beat. I got my heart busy with the positive things and was of course going for lunch with the love of my life. Being behind him was all I wanted and now, I was afraid to tell the world that he was all I have ever wanted. The restaurant was one-of-a-kind, with a serene environment, the air was fresh and pure. Nothing like the local's restaurants where the aroma of pizza and fried fish will welcome you first. Lucas drew out a chair for me, he was such a gentleman, so sweet and handsome. It sat gracefully, like a queen. I watch as he slowly takes a seat opposite me. The waiter came around immediately and he spotted us, a butler was with him. He was tall with a notable haircut. With his haircut, I could tell he was from this part of the world. The waiter handed the menu to me and Lucas. I watched him nervously from the corner of my eyes. The food on the

LucasI have known so many negative sides of Catherine. She kept showcasing new ones every time she spoke with me. I would have not known this particular one if she didn't call me the following morning. I was in the office when my phone rang. I looked at the screen and saw her name. I felt reluctant to answer the call, but to clear her once and for all that I wasn't interested in any game she wanted to play, I touched the answer button. "Hello, handsome." She sounded strange as always. Fast and weird. I held the phone up to my head."What do you want?" I sounded as harsh as I could be. But Catherine has grown a thick skin. She chuckles like she had been expecting my outburst."Calm, Lucas. I want to see you in your office. I will be there in 20 minutes." Before I could say a word, she had already dropped the call. I slowly dropped the phone on the table. I rob my forehead, as I think of how to get rid of her in my life. Just as she said, she was in my office shortly. Her smile did i

Like every other person, the first day flying on a plane would have been momentous. A day to lean back on the soft sofa, call the plane attendance and order everything nice while enjoying the beautiful sight from the clear blue sky. Those were what I would have done if my mind wasn’t spoiled before leaving. The fear of death couldn’t allow me to lift my head. Thank God for the headrest. I was moody throughout, even two days before departure. Lucas’ has tried every possible way to make me happy, but I still couldn’t find a single reason to be happy. The fact that he had discussed it with Catherine behind my back added to the feelings of betrayal I have. I expected him to talk to me about Catherine after the day she said she will meet him in the office. Not saying anything about her means a lot. He could be secretly seeing her. During breakfast, he didn’t offer to take me to the airport, he only nodded when I told him I will be leaving for two weeks. This single act concretes my suspi

HelenIt was a good thing to be a celebrity, I knew that my fame had escalated, but not outside of Austin. When I set foot there, everyone stood and started clapping, I widened my eyes in confusion. What the hell are these people doing? I hope they know it's the wrong person. I duck my head and imagine how embarrassing it will be when they figure out that I am not the person. I waited for them to stop before I brightened my face to light again, instead, they continued clapping and mumbling in between.“Make some noise for our latest model.” It came from Sir Mark, I turned in his direction as soon as I heard the voice, and in no time I looked behind him, around the door, but no one else was there other than us. He winks at me before giving the loudest clap.At that point, I knew it was me, everything was now falling into place. Well, certainly I didn't know how to react to that, but something in me pushed me to wave, and I did. Surprisingly, it works. After a few more rounds of applau
