“Stay safe,” Kiandra kissed Zendaya on the forehead and she immediately left. The closest pharmacy was a ten-minute walk from there. She couldn’t easily get a taxi from where she lived and so she immediately started walking. On her way to the pharmacy, she noticed that she was being followed by a man. She couldn’t quite tell when she had noticed him, but she could tell that he was following her. Having almost been killed, she felt chills creeping up her spine. Was this another one sent to kill her? She wondered.Kiandra immediately took a decoy to shake the man off her trail. She took a turn into a street she knew was always crowded at night and she hid behind a dumpster.She saw the man stop and look around for her in the crowd. After looking around, he decided to head to another place in search of it. When she saw him leave the place where she was, she waited for about a minute before coming out and heading back. Thankfully, she had managed to get the man off her. She then start
‘Brute,’ Kiandra muttered under her breath as she followed him.He walked to the stairs and headed downstairs to the kitchen to get a bottle of water and Kiandra followed him. When he brought out a bottle of water, he handed it over to Kiandra and then brought out some drugs from his pocket. He had sent his men to get it for Kiandra early this morning so she could use it as soon as she woke up just as the doctor had prescribed.The instructions are on it,” he said to Kiandra and she took the drugs. As soon as she swallowed it, Lucas sat on the stool at the kitchen counter and he gestured for her to do the same. Two helpers who were in the kitchen quickly stepped forward and served Kiandra some food."You just used your medication, you'll need to eat so it can have something to work on," Lucas said before Kiandra could refuse the food.That made sense to Kiandra and so she picked up the spoon and started eating. Lucas decided to use the time to check his emails to see if he had recei
“Fine. Firstly, you and your daughter are going to have to move out of your apartment to a secure place as everyone who would have investigated you would know where you live,” Lucas started.“Great, I secured that place after months of trouble and now I have to start searching for another place,” Kiandra scoffed in anger.This was another day to regret ever going to that club for her eighteenth birthday and ever agreeing to take Zendaya to the park that fateful day.No matter how she tried to convince herself that everything happened for a reason, Lucas would always make her think otherwise.Lucas, on the other hand, raised his eyebrow at what Kiandra said. Didn't this woman understand that the same thing would just happen to her if she moved into a place with no protection? “I didn’t say you would have to find another place. I already have a place, and it’s well secured and protected,” Lucas informed her and she raised an eyebrow at him.“You want me to move in somewhere that belongs
“Now dear stepmother, before I bring someone who has no problem in beating up women, I’d suggest you leave here and never come back,” Lucas gave Olivia a suggestion. It would be her fault if she refused to take her suggestions as he wouldn't hesitate to fulfill his words.“The only reason you’re still alive is not because you’re my father’s wife but because you’re Belle’s mother. So forget about telling this to my father or I might just forget that you’re my sister’s mother and finish you off.And you know very well that I won't get in trouble for finally finishing you off. In fact, I'll never even get caught."After saying this, Lucas took a step back, waiting for Olivia to leave. She cleared her throat and gathered her composure before giving Lucas a glare.“You really need to be taught some respect,” she growled, angrily not backing down. Backing down would only mean that she was scared of Lucas’ threat. She was, but he didn’t need to know that. “My mother died before I could be
“I want no trouble from you,” she said before handing over the tablet to her. After she was sure her daughter was occupied, she walked back out, where the two men were waiting for her. “Good morning, Mr Volcano,” she greeted Liam.“Good morning, Miss Aidan. It’s good to see you back on your feet once more,” Liam commented, and Kiandra gave him a smile. “Do you mind me playing with the little girl?” he asked, as he was itching to trouble Zendaya. He loved to trouble everyone and it didn't matter whether it was an adult or a child.“Sure,” Kiandra answered. She was still grateful to Liam for getting her daughter out of the apartment yesterday and besides, Zendaya seemed comfortable with him. She had been trying for years now to get her daughter to come out of her shell and it seemed to only be happening when Zendaya was around Liam or Lucas.If the two were the only way to get Zendaya to stop being shy, then it was a sacrifice Kiandra was willing to make for her daughter. Liam clappe
“No, there’s no need for that!” Kiandra exclaimed and she took the clothes from Lucas. Before he could make her any redder, she turned and walked into the room. “Hey, I remember buying that for Lucas. See, it did come in handy,” Liam commented when he saw what Kiandra was holding.Oh, so Lucas was telling the truth, Kiandra thought to herself as she turned to look at Lucas who had a ‘I told you so,’ look on his face. She turned back and entered the bathroom to change and came out five minutes later all set and ready to leave. “Bye mummy,” Zendaya bid as her mother left the room. Seeing that Kiandra had come out of the room, Lucas turned and led her to the stairs. After they had descended the stairs, he led the way outside and he gave instructions to his guards who followed him.A car approached them and it parked at the entrance of the mansion. “We are taking this one,” Lucas said as he made his way over to the driver’s seat.Kiandra followed him and she got into the front seat. She
"What's going on?" Kiandra heard Lucas' voice from behind her. Lucas could tell that Kiandra was in trouble with her neighbours. The question was why.When she got down from the car, he had driven further, so he could find a spot to park. After finding one, he got down from the car to accompany Kiandra whom he had told to wait for him but he wasn't expecting to see a crowd gathered around the entrance with Kiandra in the middle.The crowd gasped when they saw the billionaire Lucas Valencia standing in front of them. The middle-aged woman from before had told them that she had seen him come to visit Kiandra but the neighbours brushed it off as her hallucinating.Why would a rich man like Lucas Valencia come to their neighborhood? Was the question they asked the middle-aged woman.However, seeing him standing in front of them made them realize that the middle-aged woman was not. Just who was this woman to be associated with the famous heir of the Valencia family?"Due to what happened
Lucas was introduced to the family business at a very young age and so, even with his eyes closed, he could tell which products were good and which products were the opposite.The apartment where Kiandra was leaving was definitely one of those apartments built using cheap and substandard products. And this greedy old fool wanted to rip her off. “Sir, I use the best products for my apartment,” the man argued. “We’ll see what the inspection company has to say about that,” Lucas said and the man’s eyes widened in horror. “Sir, I…” the man started but Lucas raised his hand to stop him from speaking. “You want three thousand, you’ll get it,” Lucas said and he headed to his car. He came back moments later holding a cheque which he gave to the man.To a billionaire like him, that money wasn’t even up to quarter of what his suits were worth and so he had no issue in paying the old man but he would get more than that from the man.“Let’s go,” he said to Kiandra and it was his turn to hold
