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
"You do not speak to me that way." Lucius said as he took a step closer to them showing his dominance in a place that wasn't even his but it did nothing to put the men in their place even for a while. They belted out another laugh and waved him away."Get out of here. Just because luck happened to s
"Very well. We agree to that." A board member said.A briefcase was brought out, placed on the desk and opened up. He brought out a document and glanced at everyone in the room. "Are we all ready to hear the conditions?"Everyone in the room gave an affirmative nod which prompted the man to read ou
After Lucius had helped Zara get her company back by that bold move he made, Zara was in the mansion a lot less. Her presence was missed by few but to some others they didn't really mind the vacuum she left. Lucius was one of the latter people. His new wife was away from the house most of the time
Lucius turned away, trying not to let Carl's body get into his eye view. The turning of his head caused a sharp pain to shoot up the side of his head. He raised a hand to his forehead and could feel the warm blood streaming down his face and hair. He touched the wound and it stung him. Lucius drew h
Lucius' eyes opened. He could see a sliver of bright light around him through the slits in his eyes which caused him to shut his eyes again. The light was giving him a slight headache. His wrists felt sore and his face ached. He tried to turn his body a bit, feeling very uncomfortable but a sharp pa
"Mr. Lucius, my name is officer Ramirez. Officer Williams and I are here to discuss the incident that led to your hospitalization. We've received some information that you might have seen the culprits who caused the accident."Lucius nodded, his mind racing with a mix of relief and curiosity. He kne
••••• 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
