Lucas.Helen, was as sweet as the dinner party night, the smell of love, which I have not for a very long time smell, filled my nostrils. It brings back memories that have long been berried in my mind. I couldn’t stop getting more of her. Her grip on my back was a trigger. It made the wild beast inside of me came to play. I was like a lone wolf who had finally got prey and waited no further to devour. After a proper fill, I lay flat, breathing like a bull. In fact, that night was the best night I have ever had.The sound of my ringing phone snapped me out of my deep sleep. I stared at the screen and wondered who would call my privet number with a strange line. I sat up and pick up the phone. I didn’t say a word when I placed the phone on my ears, and I didn’t have to wait long before the voice from the other end start sounding on my ears. At first, I didn’t know who was speaking, though she sounded familiar. I looked around and saw Helen’s delicate face, she was sleeping peacefully.
LucasI have known so many negative sides of Catherine. She kept showcasing new ones every time she spoke with me. I would have not known this particular one if she didn't call me the following morning. I was in the office when my phone rang. I looked at the screen and saw her name. I felt reluctant to answer the call, but to clear her once and for all that I wasn't interested in any game she wanted to play, I touched the answer button. "Hello, handsome." She sounded strange as always. Fast and weird. I held the phone up to my head."What do you want?" I sounded as harsh as I could be. But Catherine has grown a thick skin. She chuckles like she had been expecting my outburst."Calm, Lucas. I want to see you in your office. I will be there in 20 minutes." Before I could say a word, she had already dropped the call. I slowly dropped the phone on the table. I rob my forehead, as I think of how to get rid of her in my life. Just as she said, she was in my office shortly. Her smile did i
I couldn't lift a finger after Catherine left, she struck my heart with words that stick. Like an unfortunate deer, struck by a steel spear, I crumbled on my table. Her words keep resounding in my head and for a second, I doubted my love for Helen.I managed to get up from my seat after a while, pick up my phone, and headed sluggishly like a drunk giant supported by a mosquito limp outside. When I reached the reception, the looks on my worker's faces made me realize that I was truly out of place. I saw Mr. Philip's chaotic face too as he rushed toward me. He must have sensed my dilemma and offered to help.Seems untrue and hard to believe that a giant man, like me, would be so frustrated by a woman's words. “Are you alright, sir?” He asked after he had taken his place beside me. I tried to get a grip on myself and acted normal. I ignored his question and continued my journey. He twitched and hurriedly joined me.“Cancel every appointment and meeting, till tomorrow. I need a quiet mo
Like every other person, the first day flying on a plane would have been momentous. A day to lean back on the soft sofa, call the plane attendance and order everything nice while enjoying the beautiful sight from the clear blue sky. Those were what I would have done if my mind wasn’t spoiled before leaving. The fear of death couldn’t allow me to lift my head. Thank God for the headrest. I was moody throughout, even two days before departure. Lucas’ has tried every possible way to make me happy, but I still couldn’t find a single reason to be happy. The fact that he had discussed it with Catherine behind my back added to the feelings of betrayal I have. I expected him to talk to me about Catherine after the day she said she will meet him in the office. Not saying anything about her means a lot. He could be secretly seeing her. During breakfast, he didn’t offer to take me to the airport, he only nodded when I told him I will be leaving for two weeks. This single act concretes my suspi
I turned to Jane, and carefully watch her expression. I smiled and leaned towards her and whispered. “Is this how it’s done?” on hearing that, she farrowed her eyebrow and rolled her eyes left and right. She had a perplexed face, I could tell from her face that she had no involvement. But who can tell? Her master would have already met up with the plane attendance and instructed them to poison the drink. “You mean inside a plane, ma’am?” she finally spoke out after a few minutes of thinking. I nodded, trying to not what comes next from her. “This is my first time, ma’am.” I acknowledge with a nod and returned my gaze to the fine lady beside me. “I think I am fine,” I said to her with a broad smile, as I pushed forward my long coat to cover my chill feet. It was obvious that I felt cold. I could tell by the way she looked at me when I declined. She returned the smile after a brief examination and then, pushed the tea to Jane. “Do you mind, ma’am?” that was when I knew I have acted d
HelenIt was a good thing to be a celebrity, I knew that my fame had escalated, but not outside of Austin. When I set foot there, everyone stood and started clapping, I widened my eyes in confusion. What the hell are these people doing? I hope they know it's the wrong person. I duck my head and imagine how embarrassing it will be when they figure out that I am not the person. I waited for them to stop before I brightened my face to light again, instead, they continued clapping and mumbling in between.“Make some noise for our latest model.” It came from Sir Mark, I turned in his direction as soon as I heard the voice, and in no time I looked behind him, around the door, but no one else was there other than us. He winks at me before giving the loudest clap.At that point, I knew it was me, everything was now falling into place. Well, certainly I didn't know how to react to that, but something in me pushed me to wave, and I did. Surprisingly, it works. After a few more rounds of applau
The first thought that I picked was forcing the drink down her throat."You want to give me that, Jane?" I noticed her stillness when I asked and I smirked"Huh?"She readjusted in the bed, covering herself with the duvet before nodding with a smile."huh hmm, sure it's for you, have it." She extended farther to my face. I shook my head and shifted to the edge of the bed."I am fine, thank you. " I tried to smile while watching her reaction. Her forehead tied up instantly, and her brow folded. Just as I suspected, she was disappointed. She must have thought I would give in to her weak praise and drink from her cup.I know she would probably not poison this particular drink, because of the insecure environment. Still, I didn't want to give her a chance or should I say, any reason to think I will eat with her. She knew if I got hurt that night, if no one else should know, the bodyguard behind the door would certainly know she had a hand. I think she wants to gain my trust first. To m
I got off the bed immediately, with all the speed I could generate at that moment. With the way I jump from it, one could suspect that the bed was burning my butt. It was like a natural reflex that I couldn’t help The mention of Jane in the kitchen brought terror and despair, even confusion instantly. Her presence in that kitchen could only bring death. I may not be the victim, because I know of her motives, but another person may be, so I have to stop her immediately. Helen, think of something, I muttered to myself as I rolled my eyes up and down. “Excuse me ma’am” The voice on the other end sounded again, and I realized that she had held her breath, and waited for me to say something. “Oh, that’s nice. I have to wait then. Thank you.” I dropped the phone and rubbed my forehead. I smiled when I realized that I was sitting and rubbing my forehead like Lucas. I guess he has transferred some of this threat to me. This isn’t a time to think about Lucas. For God's sake, it’s a human lif
