Whites Mansion
"I have some news for you Lora." Samuel White, Lora's father cleared his throat slightly and said as they had breakfast
"What news?" Lora asked blankly
"The Brown family has offered to take you in as their daughter in law. They wish to get this done by the end of the week" Samuel replied calmly
Lora's eyes opened with shock upon hearing what her father just said. She glanced worriedly at her mother gesturing her to say something but she remained quite
"Who am I getting married to? Collins or Jeffery?" Lora asked tremblingly. She just prayed her father wasn't going to mention Collin's name. But looked like her fate wasn't so good
Samuel raised up his eye to stare at her and sighed out helplessly "Collins. He's the one you're getting married to"
"Huh?... But dad you know very well Collins used to be Lucy's boyfriend. How can I marry Lucy's ex?" Lora roared angrily
Lucy and Collins planned on getting married after Lucy completed college. But they forced her into the Green family instead
The Brown family is also very rich just like the Green family. But they aren't hailed as much as the Green family is
When Lora and her mother saw that Lucy was about to get married into such rich family and also to the love of her life, they decided to push her into the Green family instead. All they've ever wanted is to see Lucy shed tears over and over again
A day before Lora's wedding, she left the house and left a letter for her father to give Lucy to the Green family instead of her because she wasn't interested. All these were planned by her mom, and for some reasons she started having regrets after Lucy was gone
The Greens are very rich and popular, and she's been having a serious crush on Alex since they were in college. Maybe she shouldn't have listened to her mom and ran away from this marriage
Now she has to get married to Lucy's ex. Which is a very big disaster for her
How will Lucy think of her? How much more dignity will she have left
Samuel knew Lora wasn't so happy with the decision he made, but he had no other option either. The Brown family is just as powerful as the Green family. And they can destroy him with just a snap of a finger if he gets them offended
If it wasn't for the fact that Lora had ran away on her wedding day, then Lucy would have been the one getting married into the Brown family and not her
But since she decided to force Lucy into what belonged to her, she'll now have to pay for the consequences
"You have just three days to the wedding. Prepare for it and don't create any fuss" Samuel got up and left after saying this to Lora. This is her second upcoming wedding. If she ran away like the last time, then she'll have no one to blame
"The Brown family is also very rich Lora. You just have to forget about the fact that Lucy is Collins's ex-girlfriend. Now she's married, and she has nothing to do with him anymore. Think about it, you're going to be very rich and respected in this city. The Brown family isn't any ordinary family and...."
Lora threw her mother with disgust looks and walked away angrily without letting her complete her sentence. She hated her so much this time. Because if it wasn't for her stupid plans, then she would have gotten married to Alex and have a comfortable life
Collins is a good-looking guy, and very rich also. But not hyped so much like Alex
All Lora has ever wanted in this life was to get married to a billionaire. Someone who would spoil her with money and make her very popular. And that's why she tried all her possible best to crawl into Alex's bed while they were still in college
Even though she succeeded once, all her efforts have been in vain because of her mother. And now Lucy is the one with him
....
The drive from the Greens Mansion to the company wasn't so long. Within some few minutes time, they had reached
Aaron led Lucy inside and took her around. They chatted and laughed occasionally. And this made Lucy feel very comfortable around Aaron
They explored every corner of the company with the exception of Alex's office. When Lucy asked, Aaron explained to her Alex is having a meeting in his office so maybe another time
Aaron took Lucy to the cafeteria for coffee. As they were still chatting, a guy walked over to them and whispered something in Aaron's ear
Aaron looked up at Lucy with apologetic eyes and said softly "I'll be back in a minute. Please stay here and wait for me"
"Alright" Lucy smiled slyly and nodded her head gently
She sipped in coffee and waited patiently for Aaron. But along the way, she started feeling a bit uneasy and decided to use the washroom. She asked one of the workers and she was directed to the nearby one
She walked carefully to where she was directed but got stuck in between two doors. She tried very hard to remember whether it was the door on her right or that on her left but to no avail. After pondering for a while, she decided to use the door on her right. Each time she gets torn in between left and right, she goes for the right. And that's the same thing she's doing with this
Lucy opened the door gently and walked in. After closing it, she turned to free herself only to see a huge number of people seated in front of her. They all stared at her with surprise drawn all over their faces.
Lucy's face became pale that instant. She had entered the wrong place. But the fierce glare from the people made her confused on what to do
She didn't know Alex was also there. When she finally spotted him staring at her with a frown, she immediately smiled apologetically and said "sorry everyone. I... I thought this was the washroom."
"Who are you?" one man in black suit asked sternly
Lucy didn't know the exact answer to give him. She wanted to tell them she's Alex's wife but looking at the fierce glare Alex was giving her, she hesitated
She didn't want to make her husband upset. And she couldn't ignore the man's question either
After pondering for a while, she replied calmly "I'm Alex's wife"
Lucy's answer got everybody exchanging looks with shock. Alex never informed them he was married. And the fact that Lucy had the guts to barge in there carelessly made them have divided thoughts. There's no way Alex could have gotten married to such a careless girl
Alex clenched his jaws and fist tightly as he stared at Lucy. He slowly got up from his seat, stepped closer to her and dragged her outside in a flash
Alex dragged Lucy all the way down to the basement and threw her onto the floor roughly. He held onto his waist anxiously and stared at her like his last meal. The kind of anger radiating from his breaths alone made Lucy shaudder with fear. She wantwed to say something, or to at least apologise for what she did, but she didn't know how to start She just helped herself off the ground and looked up at A lex with apologetic eyes "I'm very sorry... I.." "Who the hell do you think you are? And... how did you even get here?" Alex grabbed Lucy's chin fiercely and asked. He looked like he was about swallowing her in the next second if something doesnt happen Tears rolled up in Lucy's eyes, and it didnt take up to the next second before it started pouring down her cheeks uncontrollably. Alex's voice sounded very cold and domineering. And she feared to make him more upset if she mistakinly says something terrible She wanted to tell him she came with Aaron, but she was afraid of the outcome.
(Music....)Lucy positioned herself well as the music began and swayed her body to the rhythm of the song. It was a rumba dance, which is often known as the dance of loveShe danced very slowly, but in a very sensual manner. She seemed to be trying to seduce Alex or somethingThe dance was in deed very flirtatious, and within the next few minutes, Alex found himself stepping closer to her. He took off his suit and sat on the bed as he stared at Lucy with lustful yet curious eyesHe seemed to be shocked by Lucy's act, and frowned on few occasionsLucy took this opportunity to sit on Alex's lap hesitantly. She was afraid of getting him more upset but Alex seemed to be okay with it. He didn't hold her, but he didn't stop her eitherHe just sat with his eyes fixed on her. Enjoying each and every single move she madeLucy felt happy in her heart that her plan was working smoothly. She had thought of so many things, but only this dance popped up in her mindShe's been joining dancing class
"Ding....dong..." Lora pressed on the doorbell a few times and waited patiently. After a short while, the door swung open and a young slender girl showed up "Hi ma'am, please how may I help you?""I'm here to see Collins." Lora replied in a light tone"Please come in" the young girl nodded her head slightly and opened the door. Lora walked in gently and sat in the sofa. She admired the living room as the girl went upstairs to call CollinsHer mom was right. The Brown family is just as rich as the Green family. They have this huge mansion, and the living room said everything. Maybe her mom wasn't so wrong. This family is filthy rich, and that's all she wantsBut the fact that Collins is Lucy's ex-boyfriend is her biggest problem. Even though she doesn't love him, she could have still managed with that because of the money. But...Lora blew out a sigh helplessly at the thought of this and shook her head slightly. She has come to make a deal with Collins if only he'll accept it. But upo
"I know Alex very well Lucy. His mother used to be my good friend. When the tragic incident occurred, I left this city and came back only few years later. I'm just so surprised he's the one you got married to" Mrs. Hayes' words resounded clearly in Lucy's mind as she stood by the roadside for a cabHer words got her thinking. Because it didn't sound so clear to her. Her reaction tells something more than what she told her. She couldn’t have possibly acted that way simply because Alex is her good friend's son, right?She looked very nervous, like as if a serious tragedy was about to befall herSomething about Mrs. Hayes reaction to Alex's name looked suspicious. And the fact that she refused to explain any further made Lucy feel a bit anxious. But she just helped the woman back to her room and left without bothering her with so much questions. Maybe she’ll find time to talk about that with her againLucy got a cab and headed back home after sometime. On the way, her phone started ringi
Lucy alighted in front of a restaurant and looked around for Mia. It was De Shallot eatery, a place they often used to have lunch four years agoThe place looked a bit different to her, because for all these past four years she has never stepped a foot thereMia said she would be waiting for her in front of the restaurant, but she was nowhere to be found. Lucy took her phone to dialed her number again. But just as it started ringing, someone hugged her from behindTurning to face the person Lucy saw it was Mia and quickly jumped into her embrace. They hugged each other tightly for a while without saying anything. They had missed each other so much, and it felt like they weren’t still getting enough of each other even after hugging for over five minutes"I really miss you a lot Lucy. I miss you so much!" Mia exclaimed happily after pulling out of Lucy's embrace"I miss you too. Let's go and have some spicy chicken" Lucy smiled and went into the restaurant with Mia. They ordered for som
Alex parked the car quickly and run towards where Lucy was lying without wasting another second. He saw Lucy's helpless state, and felt like a part of his heart had been pierced with a sharp daggerAlex didn’t know why he got that feeling. He just couldn’t control it and felt like it was taking the whole of himHe knelt down beside her in the rain, and lifted her up without any effort. The guards wanted to tell him they had been ordered not to allow her get into the house, but they couldn’t dareAlex had the most dangerous look ever on his face. He looked like he could tear people into pieces within the minimum seconds and this made the guards shudder with so much fearWithout wasting another second, Alex quickly moved to the door and tried to push it open but it didn’t. After ringing the doorbell a few times, Vanessa finally showed up"What...." Vanessa's words froze in the air after spotting the person at the door. She thought it was Lucy, but it turned out to be her brother instead
Alex walked into the bathroom and filled the bathtub with warm water. After that he came back to the room and picked Lucy up in his armsHe had taken off the wet clothes, leaving only her netted underwear and braAlex tried his possible best not to look at Lucy's body. He kept on a serious face, and shook all thoughts of her out of his mindHe's just going to help her have a warm shower and nothing else. After getting into the bathroom, he gently placed Lucy into the bathtub and went back to the room. He moved up and down, trying to think of somethingHe tried his possible best not to get any desires. But....Alex hit the bed with his leg several times. He couldn’t understand why he was going through all those changesHe made so many promises to himself, but now so many things are happening without his knowledge. He lowered his eyes hesitantly to stare at his already erected man and sighed out helplesslyWhat he was afraid of is the same thing that has happened right now. Now how do
The next day...."Lucy..."Lucy heard her name being called several times, but it felt like they were sounds coming afarLucy slowly opened her eyes and blinked profusely. She turned her eyes to where the sound was coming from and saw a familiar figure sitting beside herIt was Bella. And she kept on calling out her name with her eyes fixed elsewhere. She hadn’t notice yet that she was awakeLucy tried calling out her name, but her voice didn’t seem to be audible enough to Bella’s hearing. Not knowing what else to do, Lucy slowly helped herself to sit up on the bed which subconsciously drew Bella’s attention finally“Lucy! you’re awake? Thank God finally” Bella exclaimed excitedly and helped Lucy to sit up on the bed properly“Here, have some water” She quickly offered and said to the house help “Nelia please get her some soup. And... inform Alex his wife is awake now”“Yes ma’am” Nelia nodded politely and walked out“You really scared all of us Lucy. Why did you have to be in such a
