Chapter No.21: You need to have a baby

Lucas Bennet:"What the fuck do you mean by that?" I demanded after putting Emily down on her feet and looked at her "Take Lily to the room, love. I will be with you soon.""Ok," she replied in a low and nervous voice. I can see the worry in her eyes for me which made me glad to know that she cares and worries about me."What do you mean, old man?" I asked once Emily was out of sight "The will of Grandpa and the property papers clearly state that this place belongs to me.""Indeed it does, Lucas, but like always you don't pay attention to the details because if you have done that then you would have known that you would only get to have this place called your own when you get married to a woman who matches our standard and give birth to an heir."These words pierced my soul like a brick wall. I had always known about the circumstances mentioned in the will and property document, although it never crossed my mind that my father could turn around on me. While marriage meant taking respo

Chapter No.24: Planning Lucas's Birthday

Emily Foster: I woke up early in the arms of the man I love and smiled. He has done so much for me, walked away from the luxurious life he was born in, just so that he can be with us in peace and share the love and care only. I haven't returned him with a proper favor for what he has done until now, which is why I have planned a couple of things and really wish that he likes them. I kissed his forehead and slipped out of the bed and his arms as quietly as possible because I didn't want to wake him up. He looked so peaceful in his sleep and I don't want to take that away. He has been working really hard, and barely taking care of himself. I took a quick shower and changed into a sweatshirt and leggings before heading to the kitchen. I decided to cook something for Lucas, something that is his favorite. As I was busy doing that, Lily came out of the room while rubbing her eyes and looked at me with a morning smile. "Good morning, mommy. Are you making breakfast?" Lily asked "I am hun

Chapter No.25: Isabelle pays a visit

Emily Foster: "Thank you so much, Sarah, for helping me out. I don't think I would have been able to do this all alone at the last minute. Thank you so much." I thanked my best friend as we looked around my small living room of the apartment decorated with a birthday theme party. I chose silver and black color decoration to make it look masculine, just like my hot and handsome man. I hope now that Lucas likes it. He is the man born with luxuries and throws, celebrated parties at the five-star halls. "You know I am always here to help you out, chica." Sarah said giving me a reassuring hug "Relax, everything is going to be alright. I will go and bring the cake, in the meantime, you go and put on that sexy aqua blue dress to woo Lucas. "I was already planning on doing that, friend. No need to remind me." I winked and walked into the bedroom. I showered, waxed, and changed into the mini aqua blue dress with a sweetheart neckline and umbrella sleeves. I dabbed on a little amount of the m

Chapter No.26:The Birthday Surprise

Emily Foster:"Let's go inside," I tell Lucas after pulling back from the kiss. He smiled and pulled back only to look at me up and down with a smirk on his face."You look so sexy and beautiful, my love. The color suits you a lot." he complimented."But, Isabelle said that you don't like this color," I said feeling disappointed for choosing this color. Lucas placed his index finger down my chin and replied."Isabelle thinks that she knows everything about me but she doesn't know a shit." he tells me "I like the aqua blue color, but just not on her. She looks so bad in it. I am telling you."“OK, Lily. You know you weren’t supposed to bring Lucas home this early. We had an agreement.” I tried to be stern with my daughter.“Wait, what am I missing over here and why are you so dressed up? Is it for the video interview for the job you were telling me about because if you are dressed up for that in this lady, then you are in trouble" Lucas spoke in a dominant voice and I laughed."Don't w

Chapter No.27: Let's work together

Lucas Bennet:I was sitting on the couch, working on the laptop to earn the amount through my shares and investments. I can work from home and spend a very nice life with Emiyl and Lily over here but I am waiting to open my own company. Architecture has been my passion since I was a teenager but my father didn't let me pursue it. I have got this really great talent of designing the home but I was never given a chance to work on it, but that didn't stop me from studying it. When my father sent to me England to study business, I took an online degree from an open university in Architecture and I am so glad that I did because it is working out for me today and finally, I can live the life I have always wanted to live.

Chapter No.26: Fifty percent

Emily Foster:- "Lucas, what do you think of this design? Do you think that it is going to be worth it?" I asked Lucas as I designed the graphics he had asked me to do for his building maps. "They are brilliant, but why don't we go with some colors like chocolate and almond white for the building exterior or maybe grey with a touch of ash grey, my love?" Lucas asked, "Emily, there is something I was hoping to ask you." "Ask away," I replied with a smile and kissed his cheek. "I don't think I can do this alone because my heart and brain won't allow me to do that. I don't feel comfortable getting the credit all alone because it is you who has given me a chance in life, a chance to start up fresh, to build myself, and even got me the first project for my newly founded company, a project that I would love to do with all my heart but can't do as something keeps on bugging me." Lucas spoke and I frowned confused. "What are you talking about, Lucas?" I asked, "Is everything alright?" "Ye

Chapter No.29:Daniel Tries to make a move

Emily Foster: "What do you want, Daniel?" I demand in anger "By the way, throw those flowers away because they suck and I don't want to dirty my hands by holding them. "What? These flowers used to be your favorite now they suck?" Daniel asked entering the apartment and for a second I flinch in fear, scared that he is going to hurt me but that didn't happen. "Relax, I am not here to hit you, Emily. I am sorry for the last time." Daniel spoke when he realized that I was scared of him but I didn't see the pure guilt on his face. "Oh really? And, what about the times before that? Huh?" I snapped "Tell me why you are really over here and beon your way, Daniel. You are not invited over here." "And, yet you invited me over here because you are still stuck on me. You want to love Lucas but you an't because my heart only wants me, I am the only person you have loved in your life. Lucas said one thing right. He is just a time passer for you." Daniel said, looking around "Where is Lily and a

Chapter No.30: Lucas's Anger

Emily Foster: "The cops are on the way!" my neighbor from the next door came running inside with the phone on placed on her ear. Daniel panicked as he got up and begin to leave but Lucas didn't let him and locked him inside of the bathroom until the cop arrives. He took off his shirt and put it on me but didn't speak anything. "Lu...Lucas, I...I am," he cut me off with a glare in anger. "Don't.speak.a.word.right.now," he spoke with gritted teeth and went into the room to put on the shirt since he was barechested now after putting on his shirt on me. "I didn't know how it happened, Shirley. I asked Daniel to leave and I thought he did but all of a sudden he was on me, forcing me. I don't know what would have happened if Lucas hasn't arrived right on the time. He would have raped me. I didn't know Shirley that he will do this and now I can see that Lucas hates me too." I tell my neighbor Shirley and burst out crying, shivering as she hugged me and let me cry in her arms. After a few
