It didn't take long for what Lucius was expecting to happen. It was a sunny afternoon and the warm sunlight poured into his office bouncing off the walls and making the space seem so calm and ethereal. Lucius sat in his chair and like always went through some documents on his computer when there was
Valerie's eyes almost came out of her socket. How dare he bring her mistake up and rub it in her face? She was about to speak up when Frank held her shoulder, silently warning her to keep quiet. Mary was about to burst, her mouth already beginning to formulate ways to put Lucius in his place but by
"We came here to give you this proposal. As you know a small amount of the stocks of our company have dropped and a few of our investors have left due to the scandal of last week. Right now we have open spaces for shareholders and we wanted to invite you to take this opportunity to join in. I mean,
Mary faced her."But isn't that what you are? Cattle. Unable to think for yourself and even when you try to do it you end up disgracing or disappointing your family. This all happened because of you so shut up and let me save our legacy.""Mother… "Frank had gotten only that word out when Mary glar
Lucius sat back in his chair after the three members of the Wilde family left his office disappointed that they didn't get what they wanted. He rubbed his chin and sighed. He knew that they were going to come back and beg for his offer but he didn't know how long that was going to take. To be on the
"Not really, just a bit stressful for my eyes. You look good today. Got a date?"Ben scoffed and ignored the question all together, opting to go right back to Lucius' first comment."We'll, you'll get used to it or we could get another computer. A better one. I hear there's a new Apple laptop that w
Lucius finished up from work a bit early, eager to get to the party, see his long lost grandfather and see the surprise that awaited him at the mansion but he wanted to do something first. Before he went back home, he chose to get a gift for his grandfather. He had overheard that the man had a liki
Bright white effervescent lights covered the front of the mansion from the new lamp posts that were installed just for the occasion. Luxurious cars were parked all around the building; due to the lack of space in the garage as more people than expected showed up, but it didn't spoil the aesthetics o
••••• 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
