Lets see what the future brings Helen....Note: Please guys this is my first book, keep the comments coming. we can only get better with it.
I followed Mr. Jones closely as he stepped into the main sitting room, he turned and smiled at me.“This is the sitting room, Master Lucas has not sat on any of these coaches since he came to Texas. He had one beautiful smile that got me jealous. “Why so?” it was odd to hear that the owner of the house has not sat on any of his coaches before. Mr. Jones smiled more before he turned towards the staircase. He claps his hands together as he took the first step. I notice the sitting room light first, it was made of shiny stones, and diamonds. I watched as it sparkled with different colors on the high, cast ceiling, which brought a sense of stillness and comfort to the room. I slowly dropped my eyes at the coaches Mr. Jones was talking about, it was four. All with matching gold feet and hand rest. It was simple and classic.“You know, Mrs. Dowell, Master Lucas is a very busy man. He spends most of his nights in the office. I have worked for the Dowell family since as a boy, and I must sa
I was still in the bed wondering if Lucas had slept on the same bed with me, the thought of him hugging my waist as he slept made me sigh at intervals. It was of the things I wouldn’t take from him, what I wouldn’t agree to him. I rather let his parents know that it’s a fake marriage than let him hug me like his wife. The doorbell snapped me out of my thought. I rolled down from the bed and headed to the door, I stopped when I remember that I need a card to open the door. Then, I remember seeing Lucas in the room, how did he leave the room? Does the door have numerous cards, just like normal doors with a bunch of keys?The bell sounded again, and I hurried back with the card, but a voice out of nowhere frightened me and stopped at once.“Good morning to the Dowell, breakfast is ready, hurry down before it gets cold.” I lift my hand off my chest which I unconsciously placed in shock when I realize it was a customized voice. It must have been sounding before now. I checked my phone, an
LucasFor the first time in a long time, I felt happy and satisfied. The daunting task has been brought to his place, it nearly burst my head the night before. I was aghast but then, happy that she finally agree to it. I didn’t have to wait long in case she changed her mind. That’s how women are to the best of my knowledge. They can be indecisive at times. I texted my lawyer to hurry up to the courthouse, and he agreed. The marriage certificate has been issued. That was a big relief. I went back to the office with Mr. Philip and my heart felt with joy. Why I felt such happiness is what I still can’t figure out. I guess it was because I will finally make my family proud and retain the CEO position, or because I signed the deal with a woman. I badly wanted to look at the lady that has stirred up feelings I couldn’t describe in my body. Whatever the case was, all I know for sure is that I was extremely happy.My smile was broad, and I keep smiling at intervals when I remember that I have
I unleashed all the anger, the hatred I harbored inside Buzz. I wanted him to experience how it feels to be hurt. With every punch I gave him, I felt satisfied. When I remember Helen crying face, my arm became stronger and the urge of hitting him more persisted. I watched him wail and I smile, his cries were like a turn-on, it felt like he was laughing. I hate the sound of his voice, the color of his skin, and the mention of his name. I wished him dead and I was ready to send him to that grave. I know his family will want to use this very act as a ground to disqualify me. But I will show them that I am in charge. I have stayed quiet for too long. It has given Buzz more reason to step in my lane. My annoyance intensified when I remember how hard I have tried to persuade Helen, and his action would made her want to change her mind. Something I could die trying to prevent, something that made me plan to sack the driver that refused to take her to a restaurant of her choice. I pushed the
Lucas.She arrived when I have almost finished my breakfast. Toasted bread and tea. I was still drinking my tea when I heard her scramble down the stairs. I wouldn’t choose any other sight apart from her. Something in her was quite fascinating. I watched from her feeble feet to the prettiest face, everything was eye-catching. I imagine how I would have felt if anything had happened to her yesterday. I would have killed Buzz without a second thought. She strides closer and closer, and I continued watching without blinking. I saw her duck her face down, watching the table, playing with the teaspoon in front of her. I watch the chaos in her face when Caroline came in with food. I wonder what’s on her mind if she’d love the meal. I personally instructed Caroline to prepare all those special meals. I want her to enjoy every second she spends in my house. No one and nothing must bother her. I chose her and I will take responsibility, especially for her safety. I don’t care what she may wan
The hospital was bustling in its usual frenzy mood. Visitors and patients coming in through and through. Nurses in their white robes running around helplessly and doctors with files attaining to the unending sick patients, on their beds lining up in rolls. I walked straight to the ward my mother lay. I have missed her, it felt as if I haven’t seen her for a year. When I first enter the ward, I was welcomed by an outstanding cry that echoes all over the hospital room. It made me have cold feet. I felt a quack inside and my heart dropped to the bottom of my stomach. It was a young, beautiful girl of about 15 years, the same age I was when I lost my dad. She had a pitching voice which made her crying sound like a melody. I watched her as she pinched, hit, shake the man who seems lifeless on the hospital bed. It reminds me of the day I lost my dad, I had cried my eyes out. I knew the feelings, why she had refused to let anyone come close to her. It was the same feelings I had. Everyone
“Good morning, ma’am. Your mum has really responded well to our treatment. When she moved here, with her report, she was ready for the surgery. We couldn’t wait, since all the outstanding bills had been cleared. Mr. Lucas also instructed that the surgery be done immediately.” “Lucas! What do you know about Lucas?” I asked as I turned to see if my mum was listening. I signed in, relieved when I noticed that she was still fast asleep. “I’m Lucas's family doctor. I came to the house to examine you yesterday after I admitted your friend and the driver.” my eyes lit up when I heard of Sandra and the driver. I was planning to call Lucas to ask about the hospital they were admitted. Thank God for the doctor, I was wondering how I will manage to talk to him.“Hope they are responding well. Please, can I see them?” I asked hurriedly asked and waited, hoping for a positive reply.“Sandra had no casualties, she had been discharged, you will see her if she’d not yet left with her mother. And, s
The bodyguard immediately stepped forward and bowed his head in front of him. Lucas stood still like a stalking leopard without saying a word. At first, I thought he was talking to me, I nearly jumped out of my skin. Surprisingly, he was talking to the bodyguard and he knew it. “I’m so sorry Master Lucas please punish me” I was confused, I wonder why everyone wants him to punish them each time they seem to have offended or annoyed him. But funnily he never punishes them when they say. Maybe that’s why they keep begging to be punished because they know he won’t punish them. I watched Lucas's stillness for a while and wonder what could annoy him all of a sudden. I would say there was something he had forgotten to do to Lucas if he wasn’t with me all day. Perhaps there is, how will I know? “You must watch her back every second, never moved more than 3 step away from her, that’s your job. Do you want me to replace you?” “No sir, punish me, Master Lucas, I am wrong” All this while I nev
