Chapter Twelve LORI'S POVThe Sunkissed my beautiful face while I popped my head out of the window to enjoy the beauty of nature. Just like other days I hurriedly left to work to catch up on some private orders. I had gotten so busy that I didn't have time to go through magazines like I did back then as Pearl.Anyone who knew me when I was Pearl Hammond would always say I had been so obsessed with reading about entertainment, and that was one of the hobbies I carried along in living my life as Lori Whitlock.After pouring water on my face, I let out a sigh of relief, finishing work on time felt so cool knowing I would have little time to read bedtime stories myself for Ethan I grabbed the newspaper beside me, and then I leaned back on my chair as I tried to relax. My eyes were fixed on the magazine, but then I was shocked at what I saw. My eyes shut tightly, shaking my head to bring myself back to reality.Maybe, I was just imagining things. I opened my eyes, but the image and the w

CHAPTER THIRTEENLUCIANThe bright afternoon light seeped its way into my office, and I leaned back on my chair, my legs placed on my office desk. My eyes darted around the room and glanced at the pile of files sitting neatly and untouched on the edge of my desk.Usually, on a normal day, the files will be scattered across the desk, waiting for me to sign off on the latest batch of contracts or make important decisions that will affect my company's growth.A knock on the door brought me out of my trance as the door creaked open. I glanced up to see Jeffery, my personal assistant, stepping inside. His eyes glanced at the files on my desk before his eyes flickered back to me. I mean, who wouldn't be confused?“Sir, you are not working today?” He asked, his voice carrying a mix of surprise and teasing as I remained seated, my gaze fixed outside of the window. I refused to reply to him right away.I dropped my feet on the floor, leaning forward, and I gave Jeffrey a pointed look. “I was t

LORIThe night of my date night with Lucian arrived much faster than I anticipated. My heart kept racing in a way I didn't understand; it had been so long since I felt this way. I began to have cold feet due to the excitement I felt of course through me.For me, I wasn't just going out on a random date with Lucian. I was opening my heart once again to a feeling that could either heal me or break me again. But that didn't matter to me; I was ready to face all the consequences. I was a different woman now, and I had become stronger than ever.I spent the entire afternoon whiling away time, trying to choose what to wear, and yet, nothing felt right; none of the dresses were up to my taste. I still had no idea what to wear; I wanted to look my best; I desired for Lucian to see me in a different form, and I was going to do just that. I tried on one dress after another, and then I finally settled for the perfect dress.“My goodness. You look so beautiful; why did I take so long to find you,

LORI“Pearls” The voice called out to me, even before I saw him. A nickname he would normally call me when we were children. I turned towards the voice, like a magnet that was drawn to something I couldn't seem to shake off me.My gaze was fixated on him as he stood beside the table. His eyes locked with mine, the same green eyes I hadn't seen in so long. It was Adrian; my heart skipped a beat as the past rushed back in waves.“I'm sorry, but you got it all wrong. I'm not Pearls; my name is Lori Whitlock, I aired out, my breath caught in my throat. I knew I was lying, but I couldn't afford to let everything I had worked so hard for go down the drain.“Dammit,” he cursed out, stepping closer to me. “I thought you were Pearl. Actually, she is my childhood friend, and when I set my eyes on you when you walked inside, you got the same grace as her, so I guess I mistook you for someone else. She passed away some years ago, so how could I mistake you for her? I should be the one apologizing

LORIFor a moment, the world around us faded away as Lucian smiled at me, and I munched on my food lightly. In the little space we were in, it seemed as though time had slowed. It was just two of us. Just him. Just me, and nothing else mattered.“You know what?” he said, breaking the silence that erupted between us. “We should try something new tonight, like something different from the usual.”“What is that?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at him as Lucian's gaze shifted towards another direction, his eyes locked onto something far away in the distance.“There's a beach over there. Let's go there, just you and me, he said, pointing towards the direction of the ocean.I felt a surge of excitement and nervousness at the same time as it coursed through my veins. I loved the idea of being away from the crowd, alone with Lucian on the beach. “Okay, let's go,” I said, with a bright smile tugging at the corner of my lips.We walked out of the restaurant as the night air brushed against my ski
