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 startShe 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 happenTears 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 terribleShe wanted to tell him she came with Aaron, but she was afraid of the outcome. She didnt want to put Aaron into any problem because of her own silliness. So she kept mute and endured the pain tearfullyAlex stared into Lucy's teary eyes for a while and let go of her chin. After that he frowned slightly and left without another wordHe felt angry and curious at the same time. Because for the first time in his life after twenty five good years, he had gotten a new kind of feeling. Something he has never felt or even thought of once at any point of his lifeHe always does as he want, and to his satisfaction aswell. But today something different happened. Lucy's tears seemed to have touched a part of his heart, which made him feel a little pity for herSince the time his parents got murdered in that serious robbery, Alex promised himself never to have pity for any soul that will cross his path even by mistake. His parents were taken away from him mercilessly when he was just seven years old, then why should he have mercy in his heart for anyoneUntil he avenges the death of his parents, his heart will never open up for love, trust, mercy or even pitiness. But today it has changedThe kind of feelings he got when he saw the tears in Lucy's eyes made him think endlessly. He couldn't have gotten any pity for her right? There's no way thats possibleLucy is the daughter of his enemy. Even if he's supposed to have pity for anyone it shouldn't be her. She's just in his life to make his revenge complete and nothing elseNo matter what happens, he musn't get any feelings for that girl"Alex.... where's your mind lost?" Vanessa snapped her finger at Alex zooming him out of his thoughts. This is a very rare side of him. Because Alex is always focussed and never gets lost in thoughts"That stupid girl is here. She walked into the conference room in the mddle of my meeting to ruin it. Who the hell does she think she is?" Alex explained to Vanessa anxiously"Lucy is here? Where is she?""I've left her at the basement" Alex replied and walked away with so much fury"But she...." Vanessa coiled her palm into a fist and frowned deeply. She hates Lucy so much already, and now she has ruin her brother's meeting? There's no way she's going to spare herVanessa headed to the basement to teach Lucy a good lesson. Upon arrival, she saw Lucy walking towards the way out and quickly roared "hey!.. where do you think you're going after ruining my brother's meeting huh!?"Lucy stopped walking upon hearing Vanessa's voice and slowly turned to face her. She blew out a loud sigh and stood in her place quitely as Vanessa walked closer.The look on her face told Lucy everything. She knows very well her sister in law doesn't like her, and she made herself ready to face her"You're as stupid as my brother described you earlier. Such a middle class girl, who has no idea about what goes on in companies as big as our company. I can't blame you so much anyway, because it's not your fault to be born a middle class girl" Vanessa walked around Lucy in circles and said in a tone full of disgustLucy smiled slyly at Vanessa's words and shook her head slightly. She didn't want to enetertain or get into any fight with her, so she turned round and headed towards the entrance without saying anythingBut just as she took a step ahead, her wrist was grabbed fiercely by Vannesa and she was pulled back to stand in her place in a flashLucy freed her wrist from Vanessa's grip and glared at her fircely as she also glared back at her"Getting upset already?" Vannesa laughed scornfully and asked in a soft tone this time"Why would I get upset? Just like you said, it's not my fault that I was born into a middle class family. And it's not your fault that you're mannerless either. Just because you are born into a high class family doen't mean you're any better than me. I think it'll be better if we don't cross each other's path" Lucy spoke in a more serious tone"What? So now you have the mouth to talk back at me right?" Vanessa crossed her arms over her chest and asked mockingly. Lucy looked very funny to her, because she holds no place in Alex's life. And she's going to be divorced after six months and left on the streets to stuggle"Vannesa, we're both of the same age if my guess is right. You're just twenty five and so am I. So I don't see anything wrong in talking back at you. Moreover, we're both of the same class now. Just a reminder if you've forgotten who I am in this family" Lucy spoke calmly"Haha...." Vannesa laughed very hard. She covered her mouth with her palm and looked at Lucy with teasing eyes"Don't be so happy yet sister in law, or else I'm afraid it might turn into tears someday" Lucy smiled broadly and walked away after tapping Vannesa's shoulder slightlyVannesa stared at the back of Lucy keenly until she vanished out of sight and frowned deeply. Her words got her thinking, and she wondered what they meantShe thought Lucy was just some timid middle glass girl, but seems she had underestimated her. Her words doesnt sound like she's naive and innocent at all. And it looks like she knows something they have no idea ofHer words sounded so promising. Does that mean she knows everything they've planned or something?Vannesa left the basement still trembling at Lucy's words. She headed straight to Alex's office to inform him about everything without wasting another second. Who knows? Possibly Lucy is very much aware of something they are notLucy went back to the cafeteria to wait for Aaron impatiently. She didn’t want to spend another minute there because of AlexHer silliness almost caused her life today. Alex's anger didnt look friendly at all. And she didn't want to do anything stupid to upset him againAaron showed up finally after some few minutes of waiting. Before he could utter any word, Lucy had already headed outsideAaron quickly followed her to inquire about what had happened but Lucy just asked him to send her back home. She didnt want to talk about whatever happened between her and Alex earlier at the basementShe had her face buried on the window and stared outsideAaron glanced over at her worriedly and asked "is everything okay with you?""I'm fine. I just miss my friend" Lucy lied"Where's she?" Aaron asked sofly"France. She went there to continue her studies after we completed college" Lucy explained with her face still fixed on the window"Oh... I see. Would you like to go somewhere else with me?" Aaron slowly grabbed Lucy's hand and massaged the back of her plam gentlyLucy's mind instantly became blank. She slowly turned to face Aaron and swayed her eyes down to look at what he was dong with her hand uneasily. Something didn’t feel right about this to her, so she quickly pulled her hand away and smiled faintly "maybe another time""Right..." Aaron smiled back and replied. He knew Lucy didn’t like what he did just now, so he remained silent through the remaining miles and drove her home safely.....Night showed up within the blink of an eyeLucy stayed in her room all day. Trying to make up something to calm Alex down when he returns from work. She has promised herself to gain his love and trust, so she can't just sit idle without doing anything after making him upsetIt was already twenty minutes past ten. And yet, nothing had still come in mindLooking at what the time was, Lucy knew Alex would be back any time soon. And she had to come up with something at any costWhile at that same time, Alex was back already. He sat in his study room with his uncle and Aaron to discuss something importantThe room was filled with strong aura. Each and everyone of them having the most dangerous looks ever on their facesMr. Stanley handed over a piece of paper to Alex and said "this is what my private investigators found recently. Mr. Jason is our biggest threat as at now. You have to do something as soon possible before things get out of hands"Alex nodded his head silently as he read through the information provided on the paper. He chuckled slightly after reading everything and asked calmly "what about the sailors? Do you have any information about them yet?""Not much. But I promise to get it done as soon as possible" Aaron replied earnestly and glanced over at his father"Good. Inform me about the state of Mr. Jason tomorrow morning. We're getting everything done tonight" Alex ordered Aaron and leftMr. Stanley glared fiercely at Aaron, but left without saying anything to him. He looked a bit disappointed, and nobody knew whyAlex walked upstairs to his room straightaway and pushed the door open. But upon stepping inside, he found the lights turned off rendering the room completely darkHe thought possibly Lucy wasn't around. So he pressed on the button and switched the lights back on only to find something he had never expected to see(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
The next day…Lucy opened her eyes quite early. She searched the room by her eyes and found Alex standing in front of the mirror. He was buttoning his shirt and whistling at the same timeLucy felt amazed by this new side of Alex. They’ve been staying together for almost a week now, and she has never seen him whistle early in the morning like thisHis face also looked very calm and cheerful. And he seemed to be in a very good mood or something like thatLast night Lucy thought he would show up to check on her after Bella sent Nelia to go and inform him she had woken up, but he didn’t show up until she fell asleep. She didn’t even realize the time he had come back into the roomLucy folded her blanket and kept it in the wardrobe. After that she went straight to the bathroom and took a quick shower. When she came back into the room, she saw Alex heading outside and quickly called “Alex…”Alex stood still for a while and slowly turned to face Lucy with raised brows “hmm?..”“Ahh… it’s Lo
