Lucas' heart was reeling with joy but he couldn't show it in front of her. He tried to put on a sorry face for Emily to show her that he cared when he was matter of fact happy the date turned out that way."So you ended up not going?" He asked again to be sure he'd heard her correctly the first time.Emily sighed and shook her head. Here she was sad that Claire had taken over her place and clearly had fun at it and he didn't even care. It was in his expression, the way he didn't seem agitated. Lucas had always been a source of solace for her against Claire and now all he did was try to act like he cared."Lucas, are you even paying attention to me?" She asked.Lucas nodded in the affirmative, "Yes I am…I'm trying to make sense of the fact that your sister went in place of you to a supposed date with the heir to the Belcraft group," the last words tastee bland in his mouth. Denver was no heir, Lucas was sure of that, it was thanks to the DNA test that gave him the rare privilege of eve

It was just a little over an hour since Ella met Denver whom she thinks is the heir to the Belcraft group. This was good for her because, at last her family company would stand a chance at being revived and from his body language, Denver seemed like he was taking interest in Ella– this was much to her satisfaction."Thank you so much for your time," Ella said, standing up to her feet.Denver stood up and walked his way around the table to where she stood. He took in her features from head to toes– her well toned legs, her full hips and succulent breast that stood firm beneath the dress she was wearing.Denver stretched out his hands and Ella placed hers on them. He brought her hands to his lips and placed a soft kiss on them– "It was nice having you at the office," he said, keeping eye contact.Ella's face turned crimson, it was like she was on cloud nine. Not only had he accepted to help salvage the ruins that would befall her family's company, but he was also so nice…unlike the prev

Dever leaned closer to her and pulled her into a hug. "I'm glad you could make it," Denver said, kissing her lightly on her lips.Claire resisted the urge to yank his zippers and suck on his bulge. "Of course I wouldn't miss this for anything," she said."Let's go and have dinner," Denver pulled her by the hand to the dining area. The table was set with different varieties of food– from lamb steak, to vintage red wine. The night was growing, and the sky was aglow with shining stars."How was work today?" Claire asked as she sliced a bit of the lamb steak and put them in her mouth.He shrugged and brought the glass of wine to his lips, "You know how it is, managing a company as vast as Belcraft. The hectic board meetings I have to be present for, the piles of documents and tons of emails waiting for my approval,"As he spoke, Claire made a mental image of the six foot tall man in his leather chair and probably a vast office befitting his status, "I can only imagine…" she said, staring

It's been a few days since Emily had told Lucas that she was going on a lunch date with Denver. Lucas had been jealous but even more when Emily hadn't texted or called.He'd call her and she didn't respond. He was both worked up and worried– Emily loved him unconditionally when everyone else left his side.As he stared out through the window, the golden sun seeping in through from the curtain, the thought of Emily filled his whole mind.Just then there was a knock on his door, he quickly dropped his phone and went to get the door."Where have you been?" Lucas asked.Emily shrugged and walked pat him to the bed, "I've been around…" she said casually as made her way straight to the bed.Lucas leaned against the wall, watching her keenly. The mental image of Lucas…Stop! He quickly caught himself before he could do anything stupid– like making up scenarios in his mind."How'd your date go?" Lucas asked her, to lessen the tension in the atmosphere.Emily picked up a book on the chair bes

Everyone, Lucas inclusive, was having a hard time trying to settle into the reality that befell them– Denver's scandal with both Claire and Ella. But, maybe some got it worse than the others– Emily Gold.When the notification of the news first popped on her home page on Instagram, she'd felt so embarrassed, she couldn't believe what she was seeing, it even made it worse that her step sister was in the picture.She made her way to Lucas' room later that day, she turned the doorknob but it was locked. Lucas' was the only one she could turn to when she was down and now, he was nowhere near her.Emily brought out her phone and dialed his number, but it wasn't going through. She sighed and started making her way out of the dormitory, he was probably facing the struggles life threw at him and it would only be selfishness if she made him share in her pain.On her way out, she bumped into Lucas who looked a bit angry. When he saw her, his face brightened up a little but she could still see t
