All Chapters of Stuck between the billionaires: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

After just one week of staying with Lucas, Phoebe's understanding of him finally changed. It was as if she was living with a different man from the one she’d known. She’d had the wrong impression of him. With time, she concluded that he wasn’t that monster she had created of him in her head and that beneath his hard exterior was a soft heart, a kind man that anyone would want to get to know more. Yes, over the week, Lucas seemed to be slowly getting over his ex. His hair was now its normal length and that ugly beard was finally out of his face, revealing a well-defined jawline. He'd quit drinking and would spend hours in his home office, running the affairs of his companies he had abandoned since. He did everything in his power to make sure that she was comfortable, and never complained about her cravings or frequent throw-ups, even when the child belonged to his enemy. He was bent on making her see how sorry he was for his actions. That day, Lucas had decided to make her lunch

Lucas paced up and down his room, his palms caressing his temples with him deep in thought. As if he was been controlled by some unseen force, he ended his movement abruptly, his head perking up as he stared towards the nightstand. Exhaling, he began to walk towards his nightstand where he picked up his phone that was lying there. Scrolling through the lists of contacts saved to his phone, he paused as his thump danced above a name. Convincing himself that he was making the right choices and that his actions wouldn’t be misinterpreted, he dialed the number. His heart thumped against his chest the more the phone rang, and he felt the strong urge to end the call. Just as he was about to do that, the call connected, her voice sailing through the speakers. “Took you long enough, handsome,” A frown marred his face on hearing the cheerfulness in her voice. What gave her the audacity to be happy? What right does she have to happiness, after what she’d done to him? Swallowing hard,

After much persuasion, Phoebe decided to believe his words and pass the night with him. In as much as he tried to keep up with his hard exterior, she saw right through him. She was a bit offended that he didn’t trust her enough and would rather keep things to himself, but what he didn’t know was that he was killing himself the more he tried to keep his feelings bottled up. “Okay,” she sighed, as she turned to face him, her eyes not missing the victory look he had on. But they were gone as soon as they appeared that she wondered if she’d seen anything and it wasn’t just her head. She walked back to his bed where she sat down and fondled with her fingers. Lucas stared at her, a pang of pain hitting him at how tense she seemed to be whenever he was close to her. He was aware that she was still wary around him but he couldn’t blame her though. He would have to put more effort into making her feel at ease when close to him. “Give me about thirty minutes,” he said as he began to unb

Phoebe stirred in her sleep, her eyes opened up in the process and a light contented sigh escaped her lips. Lucas wasn't in the room anymore, leaving the big bed for her. She held unto her head, feeling a bit nauseous bur couldn't throw up. Staring at the door, a smile flashed on her face as she remembered the events of the previous night.Lucas had kept to his word and didn't touch her throughout the night, even in their aroused state. He hugged her from behind and held on tight to her like he wanted her inside of him. She'd be scared at first, well not scared if she must be honest when her butt made contact with his bulged sex but after he had reassured her, she finally relaxed into his arms, deriving pleasure in the way warmth seeped through her. She'd slept off only to wake up later that night, having mad cravings for pork meat and when she thought he would get upset about her waking up in the middle of the night, he had got up and hugged her, before going to prepare the meat and

Phoebe choked as she heard his words, her eyes glistening as frustrated tears blurred her vision. Her head felt wobbly and she could have fallen if Lucas hadn’t come right in time to catch her. She heard him explain to Tracy that she’d been feeling unwell before they both guided her to sit on one of the couches in his expansive living room. Once she was seated, Tracy confronted her brother, the tone of her voice showing that she was very displeased with him shutting her off. “And you decided to keep it a secret from us too? Your very own family?” She held onto her temple, pushing into it as if it were about to fall off. “I can understand me not knowing as I had been out on a trip, but hiding it from mom too? What do you think would be her reaction when she finds out about this? You know how mom can be.” “Calm down already. It’s no big deal. We all know Mom too well and how gossipy she can be most times. If I had told her then it wouldn’t be hidden anymore as she would brag abou
