“I do not. Stop saying these things. They won’t happen, ever,” Sienna blushed crimson and covering her ears, she ran out of his room leaving him smiling after her. This time, she closed the door leaving only a little gap in case he needed her.
Lucas smiled more seeing how worked up she was at his words. Teasing her has become his most favorite pastime now! “Oh, Sienna! I think I’m in love!” He whispered, clutching at his heart. A euphoric smile spread across his lips and he couldn’t stop his rapidly beating heart. He felt like a young boy again! For the first time, his heart had responded to someone and he just couldn’t keep it within himself any longer. He wanted to climb to the top of the tallest mountains and shout out her name. He wanted to kiss her till she too felt the same for him. It was almost an impossible feat. The impossible Lucas Donnelly was in love, that too for a woman
“We shouldn’t be doing this, Lucas,” said Sienna, making Lucas frown at her.“Why not? We aren’t doing anything wrong,” he said, placing a forkful of heart-shaped pancake into his mouth. This was what was missing from his life! A romantic breakfast with the one he loved. He wanted her to feel his love for her before he could admit to her his real feelings.“This is wrong, Lucas. I’m going to be engaged soon,” said Sienna.“You’re still considering that man? I don’t believe this,” said an upset Lucas.“I don’t have a choice. He has my dad’s dream in his control,” said Sienna.“Why don’t you
“You aren’t holding my hand, Sienna,” complained Lucas as he stopped in his tracks, holding onto the crutch angrily. He had been able to walk without her help yet he behaved like an impossible child when Sienna left him alone. It was as if he didn’t want her to leave his side. He knew that the moment he could do everything independently, she would leave him and go back to her hospital.“You have to walk on your own now, Lucas. I’m right here if you need me but I won’t hold your hand now. Try to walk ten steps,” she coaxed. Lucas grumbled and swore in his mind that the day he could walk normally without support, he would make her his forever. He gritted his teeth and took the ten steps slowly, bearing the pain. Afterward, he collapsed onto the wheelchair, exhausted.“Very good. We’ll increas
Lucas was improving well and Sienna dreaded the day Roman would come over to fetch her. She needed to be stronger and face him without fear. Lucas’s words rang in her head. He had offered legal help to extract her dad’s shares in the business. He had also offered to help her with the business. Should she take it up?The whole week she was busy and didn’t get much time to prepare herself mentally for a battle with Roman. Dr. Dresden had visited them to check up on Lucas and he was quite satisfied with the way Lucas’s injuries were healing. He applauded Sienna many times for her efforts. Lucas was walking with the aid of a walking stick, slowly and without Sienna’s help. The past week, Sienna saw a huge change in his attitude. He was fiercely independent and hardly took help from her. It was a stark contrast to the Lucas she had gotten used to in the last few weeks. She ha
Lucas felt guilty for yelling at her but he didn’t budge from his seat. She was the one who had threatened him to leave. He had every right to be upset. However, his mind was restless and he was unable to concentrate much upon his work. Sienna’s hurt expression kept on flitting across his head and he just couldn’t continue any longer. Getting up, he limped across to her door and pushed it open. It was dark inside, it seemed that she had switched off the light to sleep. Was she asleep already without having her dinner? He felt more guilty for yelling at her. It was very strange since he had always yelled at Kim and hardly felt guilty ever. It was always she who apologized and never the other way around. Sorry wasn’t a word present in his dictionary, well, maybe until now. He walked further into her room. It was the first time he had set foot inside ever since she had moved in. He had always been content to watch her from his roo
Lucas walked out of her room angrily. The mention of Roman’s name made his blood boil with jealousy and anger. He just wanted to crush that man as well as his very existence from her life. Sienna sighed and went to the kitchen to warm the dinner. She was ravenous and there was no point in waiting for Lucas anymore.Lucas was hungry too but mostly he wanted to resume where they left off. He walked towards the kitchen where he could hear her. Sienna looked back at him feeling his presence behind her. “You shouldn’t skip dinner,” she told him. Lucas smiled, softening a little towards her. His anger disappeared and he felt like initiating the kiss again.“Who needs dinner when I’m hungry for something else,” he said with a grin, his chest brushing with her back, causing her heartbeats to increase. Sienna blushed
The next morning, Sienna called nurse Harvey and informed her about her rejoining work. She was excited to go back to the hospital today. Quickly freshening up, she walked over to the kitchen. The fresh aroma of coffee hit her and she stared at Lucas, standing at the balcony with his back to her, sipping coffee.“Good morning, Lucas,” she said as she crept up to his side with her steaming mug of coffee. Lucas smiled.“Good morning, Sienna. Did you get a good sleep last night?” He asked, suddenly turning to look into her eyes.“Yeah, and you?” she asked him. He didn’t answer but looked away and stared ahead. Sienna saw the dark circles under his eyes that told a different story. He might not have slept at all. He looked a little tired.
Sienna’s eyes widened with the realization that they weren’t going to any beach as she had expected. They were going to a private villa on Mirror Lake! Excitement coursed through her body even thinking about it. What would they do there? It felt like she was going on a honeymoon trip with Lucas. With him all healed, would he give in to his desires and seduce her? Not that she needed any seducing. A kiss was enough to have her soaking wet for him. ‘Focus, Sienna. Don’t even think about it,’ advised her inner voice.“You needed to call up your head nurse, right?” Lucas reminded her. ‘Oh yes!’ She had completely forgotten about it.“Yeah, I’ll just call her,” said Sienna, taking out her phone. She called nurse Harvey and informed her that her patient needed her for a fe
Sienna’s eyes widened with shock hearing Mrs. Stone address her as Lucas’s wife. She shook her head, ready to correct Mrs. Stone's misconception but Lucas intervened.“She doesn’t need anything. Thank you, Mrs. Stone. I’ll call you if we need anything,” he told her. Mrs. Stone nodded, looking more confused than ever. This villa belonged to Lucas’s dad and she had seen Lucas accompany his family many times here but everything changed and they all stopped coming here. Her master, Lucas’s dad, died and her mistress, Lucas’s mom, never set foot here again after her husband’s death. She had heard of Lucas’s marriage, yet he never came to this beautiful place with his bride. She had been too busy with her daughters and their marriages and had lost track of everything. It was only when Lucas suddenly called her out of the blue, did the old me
