"Oh, Ben, come in. "Ben went into the office and shook Eric's hand."Eric. Always a pleasure when we meet."The chief of police belted out a laugh."It's weird that you would say that Ben especially when that isn't what I remember."Ben chuckled and took a seat which prompted Lucius to do the same.
In the next three days, Lucius had somewhat changed. He didn't have his mop of slightly curly hair anymore rather he changed it to a slicked back brown hairdo. His medicated glasses were gone and were replaced by medicated clear contact lenses. Even his fashion style had changed.To everyone other t
In a minute she was face to face with her future husband. She smiled through her see through veil. Everything was looking up. Luckily for her, Xander had proposed immediately after she had the video that Lucius released wiped from the face of the earth. Obviously, she said yes so that she could lift
"Hello Valerie. Xander. Missed me?"The newly weds faces changed from shock to anger. At first they thought it was a random stranger that barged in on the wedding ceremony but on looking closely they could see that it was none other than Lucius Steele, the recent heir to the Steele fortune. Xander m
"You! You did this to me! You bloody disgrace for a man!"Valerie picked up the hem of her gown and ran towards Lucius ready to draw blood. Her skin crawled and her mind filled up with the urge to have her ex husband's head on a platter. Immediately she reached Lucius the security held her and push
News reporters and every form of entertainment press stood outside the Steele Technologies building with flashing cameras and mics hoping to get a glimpse or even a notable speech from the men that called them out that day.Lucius and his father, James stepped out from the building and onto the podi
•••••Lucius sat in his new office still with a full ceiling to floor length windows and with an amazing and epic view of the sunset over New York. He sat in his chair silently gripping his phone tight as if he planned to break it with his bare hands. The day had started off so well so why did it ha
It was the next day after Lucius watched the news coverage on Valerie's release on his phone. The day after he was just made the new CEO of the company. He had mellowed down when he realized that he could still use the current situation to his advantage and because of that realization he walked thro
••••• After Zara spoke up about what she went through in Estelle and Jack’s hands, it didn’t take much to sway the court on who was the real villain in this story. A ghost had come back and given them their verdict from beyond the grave and that was enough for the jury and the awed people in and o
The day everyone was waiting for had arrived. The court case between the Cabots and the Steele’s. The courtroom was packed with reporters, spectators, and lawyers. Everyone who was interested in this case either showed up at the court room, camped outside or even watched it closely on their televisi
“Like you said. Former members. Those men heard of my job opening and showed up. They wanted to redeem themselves. Turn a new leaf for the good of society and there you came in guns blazing and killing them.” Callum gave her a mocking face of understanding. “Oh, so when we rushed into the buildi
The car ride back to the precinct was one of quiet and self-fulfillment for some but for those who were stuck with Estelle Cabot in the back of their vehicle, the ride was akin to being thrown into the pit of darkness with a banshee as she would not stop screaming and whining all the way to where sh
“I did everything for you, and this is how you repay me? By recording me and doing God knows what with it.” Lucius opened his mouth, but nothing came out. “Did you go to the police? Did you show anyone these recordings?” Lucius froze. Speaking of the police, where the hell were they when he ne
Lucius couldn’t utter a word as his hands were raised to the sky and he was being pushed along with a gun to the back of his head. He frowned as Estelle’s shocked and confused fac came into view and the man with the haggard voice he caught on his phone glared at him. “Look what I found.” The man b
“It wouldn't concern me either if not for the fact that men with tattoos that I've clearly seen on the news as Black Serpent defectives are walking in with her at this moment.”Lucius shot up from the bed. The Black Serpents again. He thought he had gotten rid of them once and for all when he had Al
It had been a few days before Lucius had gotten consecutive calls on his phone that Callim brought back to him, from both Estelle and Gregory but each on different topics.Gregory's call had a lopsided effect on Lucius as he had sounded different over the phone, no doubt because of what he had found
"That's wonderful, Gregory. I'm happy for you," Lucius lied. "You two make a perfect couple." Gregory smiled and thanked him. He ordered a glass of wine and asked Lucius what he wanted. "I'll have water, thank you. I'm not here to drink, Gregory. I'm here to talk." Lucius spoke, his demeanor bec
