Vera ended the call with a smile on her face immediately she had heard what Lucy said and turned her gaze to Raphael. “I can’t believe it was that easy to make her change her mind.” Calix scoffed staring at Raphael who was amazed and also happy that he had gotten a hold of Lucy so easily. “It was inevitable that she was going to become mine, there’s no way I would have let her be.” He smiled staring at his watch with a smirk on the corner of his lips. “It’s great that her dear cousin had to play such an important role in helping make this possible.” “Of course, women like her act so tough and are very feeble when it comes to their family, you’re very smart for that move.” His friend beside him commented with a pleased look on his face. “Mmhhhmm.” Raphael hummed smiling with so much achievement, there was no way he could take no for an answer from any woman, he would break her knees as long as it would make her succumb to his arms. “One thing seems to make me quite curious you
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
Alice and Lucy had finally gotten into the room, she gently helped her daughter to the bed and took of her shoes while laying her gently on the bed.“Why don’t we go home instead mom?” Lucy slurred staring at her mother although her vision was hazy she could still see her.“That would be a hassle, let’s just stay here for the night, besides Mr Green offered that we stay, it would be rude if we declined his offer.” Sje convinced Lucy who hummed and nodded her head.“Please can you pass me some water? My throat is dry.” She tells her mother while gently stroking her neck.“Oh, then let me go get some water.” Sje nodded at her daughter before walking of the room and immediately came in contact with Rashael.“How is she doing?” He asked referring to Lucy.“I’m going to go get her some water, she has a soar throat.” Alice quickly said with a smile attached to her lips as she gazed at the young man. “Or perhaps getting juice would be better.”“Get juice but it would take time you know? Ther
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
Lucy was silent as she gazed at him quietly unsure what to say to him, thinking about the situation, if Michael were to lose himself then he could hurt Eashael which could make matters even worse which she was trying hard not to let happen.“I-it’s fine Michael,” Sje assured him causing his face to turn pale staring at her.“Do you have any idea what you’re saying? What reasons do you to explain all this?” He asked losing his temper.“Just let it be Michael, I have nothing to explain to you.” She said.“Why skk on you always want things to be hard between us ( I’m giving you a chance here and all you want to do is make matters hectic.” He rolled his eyes. “You want to stoop so low that you feel it’s alright to well your body?”“That’s not it-“ she gazed at him in frustration.“Let this end between us, I hate the uncertainty you keep causing me and I need to move ahead without you in my life.” Michael curled his hand in a fist and stared at her with pain evident in his eyes as he gazed
“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
“Is there any other reason as to why she didn’t hurt me? I was used by her and she certainly didn’t feel remorseful about it.” Michael shrugged his shoulders rolling his eyes as the scene came to mind no matter how hard he tried not to recall it.“Well, I feel that she might have been in a situation where she has no other option than to act that way,” Charles tells him but Lichaek doesn’t find it quite easy to believe.“There’s no way such can happen.” Michael shrugged his shoulders staring at him while gulping the drink.“You had been married to her for a few years and for some reason, you don't seem to know her.” Charles pointed out making Michael pause and stare at him in confusion.“What do you mean?” He questioned tilting his brows as he stared at Charles who poured himself a mother cup full of beer. “What if she was trying to protect you or something?” “I know her too well and there’s no way she could do that, she’s self-centered and first to care about anything as long as it
“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
