The two sisters don't say a single word to each other as they head upstairs. Brianna too is angry with her sister for what had happened but she dares not open her mouth to talk seeing that Juliet is already red with anger. She can tell Juliet is not in a good mood right now and she doesn't want to get on her sister's bad book. Brianna keeps her thoughts to herself and silently follows Juliet as they walk through the large hallway. After passing numerous rooms, they finally arrive at Juliets. Juliet steps in first. Brianna is about to put her foot in the room when Juliet's cold voice reaches her ears. "I want to be alone" Juliet mumbles dismissing her younger sister. "But Juli..." "Get Out!" She cuts her off harshly. Brianna opens her mouth to say something again but thinks otherwise. She glares at her sister, stamps her foot, turns and starts for her room leaving Juliet behind. Juliet bangs the door and walks into the room breathing heavily. She grudgingly sits on her bed
Mrs. Avery majestically walks towards her daughter, her heels making a soft clinking sound against the marble-tiled floor. "I gave them the orders not to let you out no matter what happens" she sneers and stops right in front of Juliet. "I won't let you go see that filthy brat Juliet. He does not deserve you, can't you see!" She stamps her foot roughly almost injuring herself. "I refuse to allow you to disgrace this family any further." "I won't let the Pearson family's name be dragged through the mud because of that useless nobody called Lucien Wood!" Her determined voice booms for all to hear. The guards all shift uncomfortably as they try to look for a way to run away. No one wants to be in the middle of the fuel moment between mum and daughter. "Mum, you have no right to stop me from leaving my own house!" Juliet states coldly. Mrs. Avery's eyes narrow dangerously and she steps forward. The next thing Mrs. Avery does is something no one had ever expected. A slap lands on Ju
"Listen very carefully to what I'm about to say" Mr. Santiago is seen standing on his balcony, his phone tightly placed on his ear. His other hand grips the railings tightly as he speaks to someone over the phone. "I want this job done by tonight..." "I don't want any mistakes..." "I'll pay you triple the amount you asked for... " "Just make sure you finish off that wretched fool once and for all this time..." Mr. Santiago hums in satisfaction over what the other person replies. Mrs. Avery comes inside the room at this moment holding two cups of steaming hot coffee. She walks over to the balcony and sees her husband making a call there. "Coffee?" She half whispers as she reaches him. Mr. Santiago quickly nods and she hands over a cup to him. "Yes, I'll be waiting for the news," he says and ends the call. "What news darling?" Mrs. Avery asks and her brows pinch together. "The news of Lucien Wood's death" he replies and takes a sip of his coffee. "I've hired someone to finis
Juliet doesn't even know for how long she's been sitting alone, in the same position and the same place. Maybe it has been a minute? Two minutes? An hour? Two hours? Or perhaps several hours have even passed by? She just doesn't know. She can't really tell because her eyes have swollen up from all the crying crying and crying. Ever since the men locked her up and she crumbled down on the floor, she has not even made a move to get up. Juliet can hear her phone ringing again. The stupid phone has been ringing non-stop for as long as she can remember now. Yet she didn't even make an attempt to take a look at it. Juliet feels like her whole world has come crashing down in just these past few days. The wall she had suffered to build-up for years has come crashing down without any mercy. It was utterly useless now. Slowly, she curls up on the cold floor. Her heart feels cold and numb just like the floor. More tears slowly start making their way to her eyes as they drop down her c
Brianna and Mrs. Avery run after Juliet. Descending the stairs, they can see her up ahead as she slows down before the TV. Juliet stops right in front of the TV which is on already. Her blue eyes widening at the news that is being broadcasted. 'Breaking news; Lucien Wood, ex-lover of Washington DC's female billionaire Miss Juliet Pearson finally regains consciousness after a life-threatening accident.' Juliet can feel her heart thumping loudly in her chest. "Lu..Lu..Lucien is back?!" She exclaims in disbelief, covering her mouth with her hands. Tears form in her eyes as she breathes a sigh of relief. No words can explain how she feels after hearing that Lucien Wood is ok now. 'He's come back to me' she closes her eyes, tears of joy falling down her cheeks. At this moment, Juliet's mother and sister arrive at the living room. Mrs. Avery holds her knees, trying to catch her breath. Her legs ache from the little sprinting she just did. "What..what happened?" She gasps for breat
Seeing Brooks pass by without stopping Mr. Santiago runs after him trying to call out to him. 'He's a really busy man, he obviously didn't see me' he thinks rushing to catch up with Brooks and his entourage. "Brooks, son" He calls out again, this time stopping the man who was busy laughing at what one of the fine ladies had said. "Oh, you're so funny, sweetheart. I'm going to..." "Brooks Miller." Hearing someone call him by the name, Brooks Miller turns around and his eyes land on old Mr. Santiago who is standing behind him. His smiling face darkens and his jaw drops. 'What is this old bastard doing here? How did he know I'm coming to Virginia today?' A look of disapproval is seen on Brooks Miller's face as a small frown appears. His frown quickly turns into a bright smile immediately he turns to Mr. Santiago. "Ah, Mr. Santiago. What brings you here?" He asks politely and stretches his hand for a handshake. "I heard you are coming over today so I personally came to receive y
Lucien just wants to reach out and run his palms all over his love's soft cheeks. It took all he had in him to stop himself.His love is still very much angry with him.Even after all this, he could still see the pain in her eyes whenever she looks at him.Being on this sick bed, Lucien got to find out one thing; 'Juliet does care for him.'He knows she does care a lot.Juliet claims she hates him. She might have slapped and sent him away a couple of times, but it was pretty obvious she still had some feelings for him buried deep within her heart.He had been conscious the whole time she sat by his bed talking and urging for him to wake up.Lucien heard all that Juliet had said to him when she thought he was unconscious.He even heard her cry occasionally as she talked. He could feel all the pain she bottled up inside her for all these years, as she let those precious tears out.At that time, Lucien wanted nothing more t
As much as he tries not to go back to memory lane he couldn't help it. He could vividly remember as if it were yesterday those moments she will be begging him to touch her, hold her, kiss her and even ogle at her that it makes her feel so good. "Hey baby, I'm all dressed up for work. What do you think?" Young Juliet asked the handsome man sitting before her on her king-sized bed and twirled around just to give him all the view. The man she just talked to doesn't even reply or do like she is referring to him. He just concentrated on whatever he was doing on the laptop before him and even laughed out at intervals. He did all that just to tease his amor and know what her reaction will be. Juliet kept waiting for his reply but when it seemed like he won't talk or the least take a glance at her she crinkled her nose and turned around. "I guess my baby doesn't like it." She mumbled and lowered her head as she strolled back to her wardrobe to change up. Just as she turned the man raised
