DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER FOURTEEN: THE THREAT.
The hot summer sun shone bright and clear in the sky as Purple drove along the busy streets, her face red with confusion. She was trying to locate an estate, but when it was evident that her efforts were only getting futile, she decided to ask for help."Excuse me, Sir, where can I find the Avescent estate," she asked, pulling the car to a stop."Umm, it's down the second street to the right," the elderly heavily mustached man replied."Thank you,""You're welcome,"Purple flashed him a smile and steered the car into motion. She drove slowly and carefully, afraid that she might die of the same fate that threatened to kill her lover. She found the estate in a place that looked deserted, but beautiful. The white buildings were decorated with golden bars and a smoothly plastered floor.Her eyes caught a yellow tall building and she drove into it. She rang the doorbell with a feeling of shiver. There was no response, but seconds later, the door opened and a sharp eye greeted her."Come in
DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER FIFTEEN: A DAY OF RECKONING
The alarm chimed repeatedly and Purple awoke with a start. A look at the side of the bed was enough to make her jerk up in surprise. It was 10 o'clock, two hours late for work. 'How could I sleep for so long, I didn't even hear the rings of the previous alarms," she mused. She picked up her phone and went through it. There were dozen of texts and calls from Ellen and her assistant.One text read, "The boss's been asking for you, he's beginning to get suspicious, and for the umpteenth time, where the hell are you? and why are you not picking up your calls?"She dropped the phone with a curse and ran to the bathroom for a quick shower. As the warm water ran through her skin, the memories of the previous days played in her mind.Lucas had undergone another surgery and she had been there to look after him, there was still no sign of recovery, but the doctors assured her that the tumor had been removed, that Lucas's heart rate was stable, and that he was on his way to regaining conscious

His feeble hands moved slowly without direction, he was trying to feel himself, to feel his body, something to hold onto as proof of his existence. His head shook to the sides as he woke, squinting at the bright light overhead. Someone was rubbing something cool at the center of his head, but that could not stop the terrible pounding in his head. He flinched and turned his head, where was he? And why were the walls so bright? Pain moved swiftly between his temples, blinding his thoughts. The bleached smell of the sheets turned his stomach as he stared into the face of the young nurse who also gazed at him in amazement. "Mr. Lucas, you're awake, how are you feeling?" She probed. Lucas averted his eyes, slightly annoyed by the question. How was he supposed to feel when every cell in his body screamed of destitution and pain? "What is this place, and why am I here?" He asked instead. "You're in a hospital, don't you remember anything?" "What am I doing in a hospital?* "You had an
DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: A BITTER BUT PAINFUL POINT.
An hour later, Purple walked into the hospital, tired and worn out, her eyes opened but not seeing.At the sight of Lucas, she ran to comfort herself in a long embrace."Bunny….," He said, tightening his hold on her."Lucas, my love, I miss you so much," she said in tears."I know, and I miss you too. I'm sorry I put you through the pain of looking after you,""That doesn't count, I'm glad you're back from the other realm," she said with a chuckle.Lucas made to speak but swallowed his words. Were mere words going to be enough to express how he felt?He hugged her tighter, allowing his body to express his hidden feelings; feelings he could not share or explain in words. She was hurt, and he knew it, he had caused her harm once more.Something he promised never to do again.He was conscious of her cold tears dropping on his bare skin, tears that not only projected joy and happiness but beneath the tears he knew a broken woman, one yearning for love and comfort, aching for fulfillment.
DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: WHAT I GET
One week later."Lock up the shop once it's time," her employer instructed.Purple nodded and forced a smile. She looked around the heavily stocked grocery store and grimaced. The place was incredibly boring, with nothing lively to feed her eyes.It was mid-afternoon, the type of afternoon that was enough to make one sweat in the pants, boiling hot and baking.She released an exerted sigh, wishing time would roll faster so she could get the hell out of here. Of all the places where one could work, her mother had gotten her the job of a salesperson in a place that looked like a barren land."Sure Mum, you're the best," she exhaled in sarcasm.The glass door shifted and opened, forcing Purple to look up in expectation. It was her second customer of the day, at least so she thought.A young man in his twenties walked in, he had short thick waves, bronze eyes, a sparkling set of teeth, and a strong physique.He looked hot!But not hot enough to create a commotion between her thighs.He fl
DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER NINETEEN: WHY HE HATES ME
It was a typical summer afternoon and the fresh trees were bustling against each other. The humid air tossed Purple's long hair back and forth as she sat on the balcony of her mother's house reading a novel.She turned the pages of the novel, fully engrossed in it, pausing occasionally to remove the bits of hair that were deposited in her mouth by the air. Soon enough, her stomach growled in hunger and she dropped the book aside with a yawn."I just ate!" She whined.Her mother's garden caught her attention and she paused to look at it. The garden looked unkempt with different pools of mud, some of the flowers were yellowish."Hey, Mum, ain't you going to do anything about this precious garden of yours? It might breed bugs," she shouted, waiting for a response from within the house.There was none, and she screamed again"Mum, are you so busy to tend to your precious garden?"Again there was no response, and she thought it odd. Surely, her voice was loud enough to be heard a thousand
DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER TWENTY: A SHIVER OF FEAR
For a minute, Purple stood rooted to the spot, unable to move or even think. The walls looked like it was going to crash on her, and she wished they would, anything to take the pain away. Her mouth suddenly felt bitter and dry, like she had eaten poison."No!"She refused to believe what she had just heard, it was possible to belly her mother's betrayals, to condone her lies, her secrets, but what she could never swallow was betrayal from a man she called a lover, a man she was ready to sacrifice everything for, a man that was supposed to treasure their relationship with his heart.Her man had done nothing of that, and the pain was crippling enough to wreck her. It made her mad. Tears flowed from her eyes and she relied on it for comfort, for support, for the help Lucas could not provide.The phone vibrated again and she looked in its direction, no doubt it was him. What the fuck was he going to say? A thousand more words to add to her grief? She was not going to give him the pleasure
DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE: FOG
"The number you're trying to call is unavailable at the moment, Please call back later…,""Shit!" Lucas clamped the phone hard on the desk, his breath racing. How had he not known that things would turn out this way? He had fucked up, maybe he thought he could protect her, but protect her from what? The truth? It was her right to know the truth, so why didn't he tell her?As his thoughts whirled, a part of him knew it was his fault, he had chosen not to tell her from the start. Their parents' marriage was a burden he had to carry for years and he opted to carry hers too, but clearly, it was the most unwise thing to do.In exertion, he ran his hands through his hair. He felt a weakness in his muscles and he couldn't tell if it was a result of tiredness or worry.A knock on the door distracted him and he looked up."Come in," he said sparingly.Bryan walked in, a flush in his cheeks."Good afternoon sir, I spoke with Limo's lawyers, but they have decided to see you,"Lucas brushed the w
