"Let's go inside first," Josephine suggested, swallowing hard as she took a step back. She entered the office and sat on an empty chair with a sigh. "I don't think I'm ready for all the fuss the announcement would bring,"Lucian nodded with a gentle smile. "I understand and it's fine. I'll ask Darcel to delete the articles,""There's something else. Here," Josephine said, handing her phone over to him. She watched as his face formed into an angry frown. No doubt, he was trying to figure out the sender of the message."Don't pay attention to that crap. It's not bothering me," Josephine said, hoping her words would serve as a consolation to both of them."I'm going to fish out this person and make them pay cus it's not funny." Lucian laid the phone aside as he approached her. He placed light leather touches on her skin. "Be rest assured that I won't let anything happen to you,""I know," she replied softly. "I know. Don't worry, it's only a matter of time before your enemies all get wha

The last person Josephine expected to come in contact with was her stepmother, Althea. As her car drove through the dark section of the street towards her home, an ongoing commotion caught her eye. Some men were gathered around a haggard-looking woman and they were manhandling her."Miss, this place isn't safe. I'll make a U-turn to the other street," Her private bodyguard said, after taking a mental picture of the situation."No…no…please wait!" Josephine stuttered as her eyes picked up the woman on the floor. Recognition struck her painfully and she gasped. "That's…that's my mother and she's hurt!"The bodyguard turned to her with a frown. "Miss, your mum?""Yeah, stop the car please," She replied, shakily hitting on the car seat."This place isn't safe, miss. I'll…""Didn't you hear stop the car?!" Josephine yelled as she removed her seat belt and was on the verge of jumping out of the car when the bodyguard's strong hand held her back."Believe me, Miss. If you try to save your mu

"Young Master, look at this," Anthony said the next morning as he handed Lucian the device. "I kept monitoring him for a while hoping he'd come to his senses, but no, that bastard is determined to remain a bastard,"Lucian didn't bother to collect the phone. He just stared at it from where he sat and as he did so, he could feel his anger rising against his wish Today wasn't supposed to be a day of anger. He had wished for a peaceful day where he didn't have to worry about what his enemies were planning, but it seemed John was determined to frustrate his plans."Their sales are increasing graphically but at the same time, they're causing harm to other companies, including ours. John is using illegal means to achieve his sick goals. He's exploiting the public, especially those in the rural areas. For how long would he keep doing this?!" Anthony groaned in frustration."I mean I get it if he narrows his arrow in our direction, but for him to channel it to those poor folks, exploiting th

John tossed the last bag containing his belongings into the car that was to take him to the park. He groaned and climbed into the car quickly shutting the door after him. "Drive smartly and keep your eyes on the road to avoid the police,""Yes sir," The driver replied, igniting the engine.A few minutes later, the car pulled up at the park and John stepped out immediately. His eyes quickly roamed but was shocked when he couldn't find the agent who was supposed to transport him to Italy."What's going on?! He damn knows he can't be late," John mumbled and dialed the number but the call went to voicemail."Shit!" He groaned struggling so desperately to keep his cool as he dialed the number again and again, but in vain."Hey, keep a close watch for me. if you notice anything or anyone suspicious, blow an alarm," John instructed the driver through his earbuds."Yes sir,""There he is! The bastard that manipulated and cheated us all!" A sudden angry voice sliced through the quiet night air

"The people didn't get to him. He died in a car accident," Anthony announced."Rather unfortunate," Lucian said calmly although his heart felt a pang of pity. It didn't have to end this way. if only John had shown a little maturity for someone his age maybe the tragedy might have been avoided."I feel sorry for him," Josephine shook her head. "I mean I knew he would meet his end soon, but in such a disgraceful manner?""He had a choice, but choose to fuck it up. It's nobody's fault. I just wish he had a bit more sense," Lucian said.Josephine massaged her forehead. "He didn't even get the dam inheritance he was so obsessed about. I mean, why did he even choose to fight over something like that when he has more than enough wealth in Italy?"Lucian sighed. "He wanted the title or he was just plain jealous. Heaven knows I wanted to hold him off for a little longer but he wasn't backing down,""I wonder how summer is taking the news. She lost her only son," Josephine said. if she was feel

"You need my help?" Irex repeated, his voice almost shaky. "Why would you need my help after all this time? What do I probably have to offer you?"Lucian sighed. "A lot more than you realize,"Irex scoffed. "Is this even believable? Are you kidding me? I'm so surprised that you are here asking for my help when a reality I'm just a pawn to you. None of the people I call friends ever cared,""Have you tried me?" Lucian smiled lightly. "You haven't tested all the fishes in the water, have you, Irex?""I don't need your pity, Lucian," Irex hissed, hating how badly he wanted to break down. Here was an opportunity to finally apologize for his mistakes and be free from this tormenting guilt, yet he couldn't even form his mouth to say the words. How selfish."You are the reason why I'm stuck in here, and worse, you never permitted anyone to visit me. I haven't had a single visitor since I came here. I…it's been so lonely, and when I see other inmates despite being criminals loved and welcomed

"I ask again, why did you kill Mr John? You are a very influential man yet you decided to stoop so low to take someone's life?" The stern-looking detective sat on the chair opposite Lucian questioning him for the past few minutes like one would do a little child.Lucian sat still without a word as his eyes darted around the hot, dark questioning room the police had brought him. Finally, his gaze settled on the detective and he frowned. "Don't you have an air conditioner in here? If that isn't available, perhaps you could turn on the fan. Do you make it a habit to suffocate your suspects to rake out the truth from them? Even innocent ones?"The man didn't find Lucian's words funny, so he stomped his hand hard on the table and glared at him with dangerous eyes. "Now isn't the time for your jokes. Answer my questions,""So I should answer your question why you don't bother to provide a simple response to mine? That's not fair," Lucian pulled his lips into an intruding smile. Even if he f

Lucian didn't say anything, he just stayed at her like he had been compelled to be her listening device. As he looked on, he couldn't help but feel a pang of pity. The loss of John must have really hit her and he almost couldn't imagine the turmoil she was going through."Is that fear I sense?" Summer laughed. "Oh, come on now, isn't it time you bid the games goodbye? You've held on to this inheritance for long, cherishing it as one would a beloved toy but unfortunately, it doesn't belong to you,""Says who?" Lucian crossed his legs. "I'm curious to know who said Howards doesn't belong to me,""Drop your nonsense and hand over the conglomerates already. Isn't it you who said we should respect the dead?"Lucian scoffed, leaning closer. "You don't deserve a shit neither you nor your late son,""And that's why you killed him?" Summer flared, dropping the bombshell. "He didn't deserve to die. He was so young and full of life but you killed him nonetheless,""That's enough," Lucian interru
