At the end of the day Lucius drove back to the mansion with the memory of Valerie's arrogant face and uncouth accusation weighing heavy on his mind. He parked his car before alighting it. It was evening now and he was still angered by it. In fact the cloud of anger had hung around him from the time
"The last time was this morning. I finally texted him back and told him that i was okay and just needed a break from my family and him. He texted that he understood and told me that he was going to be travelling out of the country to take care of some business and that when he got back we would spen
It was the next morning and Lucius was still trying to get dressed when he heard a knock on his door. He buttoned his suit breast over the crisp white shirt that completed his three piece suit as he spoke out."Come in."The door opened and Zara walked into the room, shutting the door behind her. Sh
Lucius stretched his body and checked his itinerary. He had nothing else to do for the day so he decided to go home. He did have a family meeting to attend. He stood up, took his belongings and left the building, giving Layla an afternoon off on his way out.Soon enough Lucius arrived at the mansion
The dreaded day had finally arrived. The day that neither Lucius not Zara had expected to come so soon. Lucius' car pulled up to the courthouse where he was meant to get married. He got out of the car looking handsome in an all black suit with matching accessories. Lucius looked at the building and
Petrov gave them a friendly smile."Good morning, Mr Steele and Ms Blythe. Are you both ready to make it official?"Lucius glanced at his father who gave him a knowing look, before speaking up."Yes, we are," Lucius replied confidently, glancing at Zara, who nodded with equal determination."All rig
Days go by with Lucius and Zara still settling into their new life. Ever since the court wedding the house had been a bit tense with no one really knowing where it came from. The only thing that showed that Lucius and Zara were even remotely married was the fact that they started to have breakfast a
While Lucius eyed the building, Zara paid no mind to the theatrics that were used in designing the space when the company was being renovated. She had seen them time and time again and if she was truly honest, got tired of seeing the same thing repeatedly whenever the building needed a change. Still
••••• 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
