Chapter 33
A red Dodge was parked outside the house and I couldn't help but feel, I've seen the car somewhere. Lucas opened my door for me before taking my hand in his and helping me out.
"Who's got the red Dodge?" I asked Lucas and he was frowning, obviously clueless as to who owns the mysterious car too.
It suddenly felt like home immediately we stepped into the warmth of the house. I could also smell dinner on the making. My stomach did a crazy flip.
"I'll be upstairs" Lucas said letting go of my hand. I watched him slip his feet into a warm slipper before walking up the stairs. He's probably going to talk to security about the Dodge.
Footsteps from behind me, made me turn and I nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw Jacq staring at me with a side grin. I sighed out.
"You frightened me"
"I know girl." She flung her arms opened and embraced me. It didn't feel awkward h

Steak and champaign. That was all I could smell around me. My hair was in a pretty bad condition, my clothes were all twisted up and as I yawned, liquor stung my breath. Somehow, I knew that Lucas was the same.That gazebo experience will never be forgotten in our memories. It will always be enlisted there. I rolled out of bed and stared down at my wrinkled white go. I was wearing it last night before going to bed.Christ! I can't even remember walking up the stairs or even lying in bed. Somehow, after that dance I and Lucas had, there were drinks we had which amounted us to getting high on ourselves . I said some pretty embarrassing things.A knock on the door made me jerk from where I sat and landed on the floor, thankfully my head avoided the wooden drawer by the bed."Who?""It's Lara. You've been in there all morning" She called out and I knew it was out of concern. I p

Ellie skipped ahead of us, trying to catch some fireflies and inhaling daisies. Lucas held my hand tight. After I agreed for him to take me to Ethans graveside, we decided to take Ellie with us. She was better now and was in need for a stroll and a wide opened space."Did you attend his burial?" I asked Lucas. We were walking pass some headstones and I began to wonder how life can be so short. Take Ethans for example. He didn't know his life was going to be taken away from him that night."Yeah. A lot of people attended his burial" Lucas said. We watched Ellie lay on the grass, rolling from side to side. "A lot of dignitaries were there""His family was worth their appearance" I mumbled."No, Tiff. He was worth it" Lucas chimed. "Ethan was a cool guy. And a hard working business man""You speak as if you knew him so well""I guess I did" He said staring at me. I noticed we

I doubled up the recipes I was supposed to learn today, only because Lucas wasn't home and I was passing out my time. Lara also had a nice time teaching me to make foreign dishes, and I think I'm getting the hang of cooking. Or at least I was until she brought up Collins smoked mackerel croquettes. Somehow, the kitchen always has every ingredient needed for anything.I dipped my hand into the pocket on my apron and relaxed against the counter. The weather was cooling up these days but I could still feel a sweat roll down my back."Just one more recipe and we're done Ma'am" Lara said and I rolled my eyes. Ellie trotted into the with Harry holding his leash. Since I read on the news about me yesterday, I didn't think it was a good idea going out so much so I couldn't walk Ellie."Come here" I squatted and she ran to me, licking my face."You better wash your hands before returning

Diana paced around the living room trying to draw up her cigar. The only thing that made me seat quiet and not tell her to stop freaking the hell out of me, was the fact that I was holding a glass of margarita in my hand. The one I made, and had Diana wandering if I once owned a bar before marrying Lucas."I told Nicole to stop dropping wet rags in the board cause they dampen up my cigars, but she just won't listen" She finally huffed, after a long while."Or you could just skip smoking for tonight" I tell her, expecting her next reaction. I don't even want Autumn to mistakenly walk in on her aunt, smoking. Such atmosphere is not good for her."True darling but I really hate it when Nicole does that" Diana sat down, grabbed a glass of margarita and then motioned for me to pass her the lime, and so I did.With each moment that passed by, I was getting anxious to know what Lucas was doing right this very min

My already rolled blonde hair fall to my face, covering my eyes so I couldn't see the screen of my phone. I was trying to digest the wheat bread that Lara made. I was never a fan of wheat bread. The only time I ate it, apart from now, was when I was pregnant."Here's a glass of orange juice to go with that bread, Mrs Grayson" Lara said and dropped the house in front of me.I didn't reprimand her for calling me Mrs Grayson again. I've made peace with that. My eyes skimmed over the glass of juice, watching the way bubbles formed at the side. It was obviously fresh and out of the blender."Have you seen Lucas this morning?" I ask Lara. She turns her head from side to side and I know that she's trying to hide something. What?!"Lara.""No. I haven't seen him. He's probably in his room... yes! He's in his room. I left him some crackers this morning and he hasn't come down since"

"The Gardener did it" Lucas said the second he entered into the kitchen. All heads swerve to him. Mine, Lara and Ellie's.He had on a black casual jean, black shirt and he was barefoot. Thank God he wasn't shirtless or I would've lost track of what he was saying. He had his eyes glued to his phone for some seconds before lifting his head up to stare at me."Not the butler did it?" I joke with a smile on my face."It's not funny. This is no book, but reality" I'm surprised when he kisses my forehead. Surprised but happy. I thought after our kissing fiest yester-night, he was going to act weird this morning. But he, more than anything, wants this for us. I think. "I was just trying to say good morning"He chuckled. "well good morning to you too"This is the part where I wrap my arms round his shoulder and kiss him, but Lara is staring at us like...what

What?! I stumble back against the table that was backed up against the wall. I'm shaking my head."I don't know what you're talking about""You do. You don't have to pretend" She grabs my arms, leading me upstairs. She pushes the door to her room opened and drags me before shutting and locking the door. I have my eyes glued on her waiting for her next move it word."I've known you where Elaine since that charity ball""That can't be true""it is true. You think I wouldn't recognize my one true friend?" She scoffs. "I could see right through the makeup, the lense and the dye on your hair. I saw through all that""Then if you know...""Why didn't I tell?" She surpasses me, I nod. My hands are tightly wrapped against each other."Yes""Because I didn't want you back in jail. Or worst, dead!..."I fee
