Her phone rang for a while before she finally picked up and with a sullen voice she responded.“Hello?”“Hey, I was going to treat you out for dinner tonight and you’re yet to show up.” He tells her.“Oh,” She replied making his throat tinge as he mentally hoped she wasn’t to decline, after all, she had found a way to make their relationship work.“So?” He furrows his brows waiting for her to say something.“I’m very busy at work and can’t join you at the moment so maybe you could schedule it for another day.” She replied calmly shattering every spectacle of hope he had.“It’s fine, I shouldn’t have bothered you.” A forded smile formed on his lips holding in the pain he felt in his chest and desperately wanted to hang up at that moment.“Hey Lucy, quit answering calls and come drink more with me.” He heard a man’s voice in the background before the line went off.Lots of questions filled his mind as he began to wonder if truly she loved him or was playing with his feelings, did she le

She didn’t care if she had to fight with even her last breath, she wasn’t going to let this man touch her.“Oh quit talking nonsense as though you haven’t done this before.” He rolled his eyes trying to pin her to the bed but she continued to fight him off her even though she was weak.“You bastard! How dare you think of touching me? Have you no manners?” She snarled at him but he let out an evil laughter as he stared down at her.“I see you still don’t know your place. So you think that I can’t make you and your family regret this.“ he tried to threaten her. “You had better be good and do what I tell you.” “Never!” She yelled and pushed him to the floor with full force not knowing where she had gathered that sort of strength, she rose and staggered towards the door in hopes that she could escape from him, luckily. She was able to get out and made her way towards the elevator but it was taking long for it to open up, looking around she couldn’t find anyone that could help her in sigh

“W-what happened here?” Alice asked her in shock quickly making her way towards her daughter. “What did you do to him?”“Is he more important than I am? What sort of a mother are you?” She yelled at her mother in frustration as she gazed at her with hot tears rolling down her cheeks.“That’s not what I mean Lucy, you know nothing can happen to him or we would be in trouble.” Her mother reminds her.“Michael just left,” Lucy informed her mother who gasped hearing that.“Was it that scoundrel that hurt you and Mr Green?” “Michael and I- have parted ways.” Lucy finally mustered up the strength to say it as she reached out to her for comfort and her heart ached.“Isn’t that good news? At least he won’t be able to interfere with anything again in the future. “I’m happy you made that decision.”“I love him, mom.” She sniffled. “I love him so much that it hurts- my heart hurts.”“You didn’t have to feel that way, at least your status would be further increased and he wouldn’t be at your lev

“Scared?” Michael scoffed staring at the naive man. “What could possibly make me scared? Certainly won’t be losers like you guys.” He waved his hands in boredom before taking another sip of his drink not bothered about the man who stared at Michael in anger as he was displaying. Nonchalant attitude to him.“Have you any idea what sort of trouble you’re going to get into?” The man snickered at Michael who continued to remain calm and composed with worry. “You’re going to pay for all you have done and you would even beg for death yet you would not be granted, I would even make sure that those close to you will pay heavily for the crime you have committed.”“Who’s your superior?” Michael placed his cup gently on the table before turning towards the man and smiled.“I see you didn’t have any idea who he is so I would give you the grace of knowing him since your death is near.” The man scoffed at Michael. “He is Ashton west.” Hearing the name Charles was taken aback in fear knowing just h

“That's my papa! I knew those losers weren’t a match for you!” The young girl squealed making her way to her grandfather with a pleased smile on the corner of her lips.“They were certainly no match for me, I’m not of their caliber, it’s good that they had even had the sense to retreat when they had the chance or it could have ended up badly for them.” The old man spoke to the young girl proudly.”I’m pretty sure you saw my skills earlier, I hope you can imitate it and get a grasp of it as soon as possible.” “Of course, I will try my hardest papa, you don’t have to worry about that, I’m going to make you proud and kick a lot of asses just like you do.” She smiled excitedly as he rubbed her head softly.“That’s my girl.” He smiled at her. “Annie care to introduce me to this gentleman?” He asked staring at both Michael and Charles who stood quietly staring bar the old man and young girl.“Oh they’re some losers that thought they could help you out but I made it quite clear to them that
