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
"What do you mean by she's bringing that good-for-nothing home?" Mrs. Avery asks incredulously. "Sister told me that just now," Brianna says to her mother frowning her face. "She's with him as we speak." Mrs. Avery clenches her fist. Her very own daughter left her on the hospital bed to go see that poverty-stricken thing? "Lucien Wood, you useless thing!" She curses through gritted teeth. Brianna opens her mouth to say something when the door opens. "Mum," Juliet calls walking into the ward. She sighs in relief as she sees Mrs. Avery sitting on the bed. Mrs. Avery humps and looks away seeing Juliet approaching her. But Juliet not understanding why she would do that shrugs it off, comes over, and kisses her on the forehead. "How are you feeling now mum?" She sits down beside her. It is as she sits down that she notices both her sister and mother frowning their faces. "Brianna? Mum? What's wrong?" "Everything is wrong Juliet!" Mrs. Avery scowls. "Huh?" Juliet curls her bro
The look on Brooks Miller is so dark that one will think he is seeing a ghost. And his breathing is so erratic and coming out as if it is being forced out. 'When you see a ghost you lose your senses and your head swells up for a split second or minute or even minutes.' That is the state Brooks is in. He looks so lost as he stares at Lucien but yet his eyes are not on him. But somewhere far beyond. His stare is so distant. Not one bit did he believe that Lucien will survive such a terrifying fall. No one did. All he has thought is that he is free now to take Juliet and use her to fulfill his heart's desire. A heart desire he has built right from the day he heard about the Pearsons and saw Juliet for the first time. Thinks from his dick at times. He swerves his head as fast as he gets back himself to stare at Mr. Santiago who is just in the same state he is– lost and nudges him on the shoulder. "What is he doing here? What is that thing doing here!" His lips draw back in a snarl an
The Pearsons are still going back and forth when they suddenly recall that they haven't heard a single word from the riffraff all this while. They turn to where Juliet wheeled him and there he is having a huge smirk on his face. They had thought he left already because they are bent on making Juliet push him away. "Missed me, Mrs. Avery?" He asks and smiles up at her. "Don't worry I'm here to stay." She scowls at him and clenches her fist. "Take this thing out of here Juliet! Now!" "I can't mum I'm sorry. Lucien will stay with us till he is ok." With that said she wheels him away leaving them to sort out themselves. Mrs. Avery is astonished and so are Brooks, Brianna, and Mr. Santiago. They can't believe that good-for-nothing can still have such an impact on their daughter. The Pearsons couldn't just fix out why the aura around him is so domineering even though he has nothing. Even though he's just a loser begging to stay in their mansion till he gets well. Brooks on his part was
Lucien simpered as he watched the different emotions on Mr. Santiago, Juliet, and Brianna's faces. He loves it when he makes them feel this way, he loves it when he affects them in such a way. He loves it when he leaves their hearts beating tremendously.He had not been interested in the news because he was the one who asked for it to be made news noticeable."There's a verdict on your head Sir. People will soon be looking for you. And the worst part is that there's a token on it. A huge token that I doubt anyone would ignore."He smiled as he listened to Declan's shivering voice and pursed his lips. "You talk like you don't know me Declan. I won't take that from you. If there's anything you should be afraid of that should be my words and if there's anyone you should be afraid of it will be me. No one else. Have you forgotten who I am so soon?""Of course, I haven't Sir. You are the fierce God of War. Our four-star General. Leader of the special forces, Alpha team, and so many others.
