Mark groaned for the up-tenth time as his cellphone rang for the fifth time. He has been ignoring it and wishing she'd stop calling but knowing how stubborn his mother could be, she did not stop and would not stop until he answers.As the phone began to ring again, he put his file away and picked up his phone, answering the call and his mother's voice popped up and the first thing she did was to begin scolding him. She always does that and it isn't new to him anymore."I can see that my son has grown some wings uh, to ignore my calls..."Mark rolled his eyes.. " Good morning Mom. I didn't ignore your calls, I had a lot of files on my desk to settle" He tried to make an excuse." Busy enough not to create time for your family uh? Seems like your grandfather raised you to forget you have your Mom and your Dad. You do not even come home to visit, Are we dead to you already?" She scolded and Mark rubs his forehead.There's a valid reason why he hates going over to his parent's... That's b
"Is this really necessary?" Lucy complained as Mark pulled over in front of a Mall." It's really necessary. You'd be meeting my parents tomorrow and I want you to look really nice. Let's get you some clothes, shall we? " He got down, moved over to get side and pulled the door open, waiting for her to get down but Lucy proved stubborn and still sat with her arms crossed underneath her bóöbs.Mark stretched out his arms, gesturing for her to step down but she shakes her head negatively, still being adamant.Mark leaned down and scooped her in his arms in a bridal style."what are you..? Put me down!"He didn't respond to her but simply began to work into the mall, not minding the states from people. Lucy felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment and since Mark had refused to put her down she could only hide her face on his chest.Reaching the clothes section of the Mall, he finally placed her down and talked to the Mall manager to find the perfect dress for her.Lucy was led into the ch
The D-Day is finally here, the day Lucy would be meeting with Mark's parents. She couldn't help but feel really nervous... She has never been in this situation her entire life.Meeting the man's family is like indirectly telling them that you want to spend the rest of your life with that person. is that really it?She had asked Olivia countless times how it felt when she met with Maynard's parents for the first time!Olivia had said that it was a sweet experience and Maynard's parents were really nice people. Olivia further told her to simply just be herself and act natural and that the inner beauty and sense of humor of someone, speaks volume than the physical appearance.That's a different case, What about Mark's parents? Tho Mark kept saying that his mother was looking forward to meeting her but what are they like? What if they don't like her? What if..??Lucy groaned and stood up, then began to pace to and fro in her room. The air-conditioner is turned on but her palms feels sweat
"Oh! Austin, come join us!!" Mrs Townsend said and that caught Lucy's attention again, prompting her to turn around and have a look at who just came in.Turning around, she met the shock of her Life seeing Her Ex boyfriend walk into the Townsend mansion casually. What was he doing here? She can even recall the last time she saw him.. it was during their break-up.She averted her gaze and turned back on her seat when her eyes met with that of Austin. He was shocked at first but replaced it with a smirk almost immediately.He got to the dinning and had few talks with Mark's parents and they seemed well acquainted then he turned to Mark and they did a bro hug.Everyone felt uncomfortable with Austin around. Except for Lucy who became really nervous, just having him around."pardon my manners Austin, let me properly introduce you to my woman. Lucy?... " He called out, making her lift her head up. " Meet Austin,my cousin.... Austin, meet woman, Lucy Dalton" Mark made the introductions." W
He forcefully began to kiss her while he placed her both hands on his neck. She kept struggling to pull away but the more he did, the more his hold on her grew tighter. The more she kept biting his lips, the more he deepened the kiss."What in heaven's name is going on here?" Austin finally pulls her away. Lucy turned to Mark who was fuming in anger as he kept clenching and unclenching his fists.Her heart was thumping really fast. What had she done? What had Austin done!? This is going to ruin everything... "Ma.. Mark..." She stuttered, her voice coming out in a whisper. "Mark, I can explain.. it's really not what you think. "He wasn't looking at her but directly at Austin who kept wiping off the blood on his lips because of the bites."Mark,.." Lucy called out again and immediately, Bark charged at Austin, giving him an heavy punch on the face, which sent Austin falling in the table and some dishes crashing to pieces on the floor.Mark grabs Austin's collar and punched him hard
Mark wasn't pleased with the turn of events. He still doesn't understand why Lucy would display such unruly attitude in his parent's home!!What would they think of him? That he had a bad taste in women and had to bring an irresponsible woman to meet with them? That's not the case, the fact is that she had the audacity to try to seduce his very own cousin. It would have been somewhat better if it was someone's else and not Austin. It's what hurt him the most.Does she not have a little bit of shame in her. That night, he couldn't return to the mansion bit rather went straight to his home and turned off his cellphone since his parents didn't stop calling to find out what's going on.He got himself drunk go take the crazy thoughts off his head and this morning, he woke up in a foul mood and and a hang over. He needed to vent his anger out on someone, he made his way to the office.An unfortunate employee accidentally spilled coffee on him and he didn't waste time before firing her.It b
CHAPTER 64:- unconsciousOlivia stared at her phone lost in thought. It just doesn't sit well with her. She had a feeling that something bus up with Lucy, even this he tried to hide it.It felt to her like her sister needed her so badly bit she was far away form her and Lucy assured her that she's fine, so which is she to believe?Maynard came, hugging her from behind and inhaling her scent. Seeing bow worried she is, he asked.. "What's wrong?""I feel like something isn't right with Lucy but she insists that she's fine. Did you see how red and swollen her eyes were? Those smiles she had on her face wasn't real. I know there's something up"" Maybe she doesn't want to trouble you! And maybe she's fine and you're just getting paranoid for no reason"" What if someone happened at the dinner, you know, I can't help but think otherwise"" You worry too much and you know it isn't good for your health.... Come here" He lead her to the mirror stand. " Take a look at your face, if you continue
CHAPTER 65 :- Nauseous.Lucy wakes up, feeling the wet towel on her forehead. She lifts herself into a sitting position, taking the towel off and looking around, she found Mrs Townsend fast asleep beside her.A smile left her lips... Watching Mrs Townsend right now, gives her a sense of Hope and comfort. It feels like her mother has been the one taking care of her.The love of a mother from Mrs Townsend keeps emanating and feels her and she kinda misses her mother.. Not just her mother, but her Dad too.Mrs Townsend opened her eyes and as she saw Lucy seated upright, she panicked and began to feel her temperature. "Why are you up dear? You should still get some rest? Do you still feel dizzy? " Lucy's eyes brimmed with tears.. Her lips quivered as she tried to fight back her tears.Mrs Townsend noticed her tears and wipes then off her face."No, no dear.. Don't cry now! Is it still about Mark? "Lucy shakes her head negatively and blinked her eyes as more tears kept rolling down her
