Brooks opens his mouth to reply but Juliet shakes her head uninterested in whatever it is he wants to say and walks past him to Lucien's side. Getting to Lucien, she scowls at him and squats to his level. "Why do you love making trouble every time?" She asks only to his hearing and curls her brows at him. Lucien grins and shrugs his shoulders. "You wouldn't blame me, will you? Dude is a liar and faker. I just had to stand up for you lest you accept something not worth accepting." Juliet wants to pull him close to her heart and hug him so tight for standing up for her and saving her even though she won't have accepted the gift but she shakes her head to wade off the thoughts. He left her! It would have been done if it was in the past! She wouldn't ever do something that will give him the feeling that she is considering him again. And so instead of smiling and hugging him as she would do she crinkles her nose staring at him with contempt. "Did I ask you to? Or don't you know how to m
He inwardly calms himself from blowing hot and fakes a smile. "It's fine. I believe Juliet will realize so many reasons she should be mine soon. Let her take her time. I'll take my leave now."Actually, Brooks said that just for reply sake but meant none of it. Him Brooks Miller got rejected and they think it is fine? He has never gotten rejected before! At least not so bluntly! He is fuming inside but is just using his head so he will at last get what he wants and once he does will definitely make her regret all her life for rejecting him at first!At this juncture just as Brooks turns to leave a modified, flamboyant, and deluxe Bugatti La Voiture Noire and Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta pull over at the entrance of the Pearson's Mansion followed by two other cars. Just as the drivers of the cars kill the engines two huge body-built men alight from them, walk to the huge door and knock loudly on it."Who is there?" Mrs. Avery who had long sent her guards and maids away so they won't witn
"So you are the richest man in Virginia that I've been hearing about lately? The man who got beaten hands down by an anonymous tycoon several times in the just concluded bidding war?"Mr. Santiago gulps and lowers his head not being able to say anything but nod. He feels insulted and if it was someone on his level he would have been pushing the asshole out by now but it is Louis Rodriguez. What can he do?Mr. Louis Rodriguez doesn't say anything else. He glances around the room as if he is looking for something or perhaps someone and when it feels like he has found who he is looking for smiles a bit and brings out a long list from his trouser pocket and hands it over to Mr. Santiago who hurriedly takes it from him.Mrs. Avery's eyes glow at such a long list and before Mr. Santiago could properly take a look she grabs it from him and her eyes dilate."A box of jewelry from the anonymous tycoon.""A modified, flamboyant, and deluxe Bugatti La Voiture Noire from Mr. Ethan Bryson to...""
Mrs. Avery giggles as he leaves and rolls her eyes. "I hope he doesn't kill himself anyway." She whispers not out of pity but in mockery.To her, the being above must be smiling at her and her family. From a sad mood to an explicit mood. What more can she ask?She just can't stop giggling! They are ten times richer than they've ever been in just a day!All because of an anonymous tycoon. But who is this dude? Like who is he!She just can't wait to see him and worship him like the god he is!"I wish the car is mine. I've longed to have that car so much." Juliet suddenly whispers lowly and sighs staring enthusiastically at it from the window as if it is food."They are not for two but one." Lucien confidently replies keeping a straight face."Huh?" She curls her brows at him."They gifts– all of them are actually for you. Including the..."He is yet to finish his words when Brianna who somehow heard what he just said blows hot. "What did you just say?" She yells and prowls towards him
The sight breaks Lucien's heart. A great sense of guilt overwhelms him and he feels so unworthy of her right now.As he left years ago to make a name for himself he never thought it caused her this much pain. He never did.His heart is etched with so much concern for her and he wants nothing but to make up for his blunders.Not caring about the consequences of his next action he wheels to her and softly pulls her into his arms. He has never been one who sheds tears easily, never does. All those years in the campground he never for once shed a tear no matter how difficult the training session was but he is now teary.Just the sight of the tears in her eyes and hurt in her heart drains him and leaves him regretting leaving for the first time."I'm sorry I hurt you this way Mi amor. I didn't mean to. I know I have no justification for my action but believe me when I say that I'm sorry. I'm deeply sorry. Never meant to make you cry." He caresses her shivering spine and places soft kisse
Brooks is pacing back and forth in his room with a glass of wine in his hand. His hair is disheveled and his breath is erratic.His mouth is set in a hard line and his eyes are as red as fresh ripe tomatoes.The veins on his neck are throbbing and he is holding the glass of wine so tightly as if he wants to crush it. His jaw is clenched and he looks more like a ghost of himself.His buddy Ryder is staring at him with concern etched on his face. He doesn't know what is wrong with his friend and has tried to get him to talk but he wouldn't and so decides to just sit, watch and wait till his buddy gets back himself."Ah!" Brooks suddenly wails out and throws the glass in his hand against the wall shattering it into several pieces. "How could they! How could they!" He gnashes his teeth and his breathing quickens. "After all I did for them! After every fucking thing that I did for them! I fucking made them and yet they insulted me in such a way!" He ruffles his hair, walks to his little
Just as Lucien walks out of the hidden side of the company with a bright smile on his face he hears babbles and giggles and his brows curve up and he tilts his head.One of the voices talking is so familiar to him that he has to glance toward where it is coming from and there she is. Brianna Pearson in the new car he just got for his amor!His eyes dilate a bit because he didn't expect to see her there but he quickly composes himself. He is a bit infuriated to see her in the car he got for Juliet and he still feels like ripping her off of everything because she doesn't deserve it one bit! While he is reminiscing on that he picks up what they are discussing and clenches his fist! They are among those playing games with his company and draining its resources.He wants to go right there and confront them on their unlawful attitude but he recalls that he needs to walk in before she notices him. Not just because she will start questioning him on what he is doing there but because he is o
Brianna has never been won in an argument before but right now she couldn't do anything else but nod. As much as she can say that her family is not much cultured she knows her dad is strict and won't waste a second disowning her if he ever gets to find out about her sexual escapades. And in such a case if he speaks not even her mum will be able to stop him. Dead end for her. She has managed to keep her acts a secret from both the news and her family for a while now and intends to keep it that way. She has known Lucien for a while now and one thing she is sure of is that he never backbites so she didn't feel scared that he knows about it because she knows as long as she doesn't expose him he won't too. And as much as she hates the fact that she has a deal with him she knows it's a fair deal and one she will guide with her life. Noticing the expression on her face and reading meaning into it Lucien exhales and smiles. "You already know that I don't speak much and never backbites Br
