“No, I don’t want to go to school!” Zendaya whined and tears started to drop from her eyes.Kiandra became confused as to how to speak to her daughter. She looked at Lucas, who was acting as though he didn’t know what was going on.“I could talk to her but then you don’t like me talking to your daughter,” Lucas shrugged casually when he noticed her staring at him through the mirror. And though Kiandra couldn’t see his face as she was in the backseat, she could tell he was grinning.“Mummy,” Zendaya whined, drawing Kiandra's attention back onto her. “Fine, talk to her,” Kiandra said.“Why not leave us alone,” Lucas suggested, and Kiandra didn’t hesitate in leaving the car as she needed a wave of fresh air. Besides, he was a mastermind when it came to getting people to do what he wanted. He was just what Zendaya needed.After Kiandra stepped out of the car, Lucas turned to face Zendaya, who still had tears running down her face. “I don’t like you any more,” she said as she stifled he
“Seriously?” Kiandra remarked. “Did you put her up to this?” she asked in an accusatory tone. The Zendaya she knew wasn’t a violent child. She had started spending time with him, and this was already happening. “No, I didn't, she came up with this herself. I only asked her to pull his hair,” Lucas said, pointing at Justin who, in return, glared at him and ignored Lucas and she stepped forward. “Zendaya, that’s enough. Please just let go of his hair and then we can talk about this,” she spoke to her daughter.“He pushed me because I wanted to play on the swing. That’s not nice,” Zendaya whined and she pulled his hair even more.“I know but what you’re doing isn’t nice as well. Let’s go, please, for mummy’s sake,” she added to cajole her daughter.Zendaya thought about her mother’s words for a few seconds, after which she slowly let go of Jayden’s hair. Casting one last look at him, she ran straight to Lucas, who gave her a high five as he was happy with what she did.“I’m so sorry f
Hi everyone, I noticed that two chapters with the same content got published. That was a network error and I'm sorry for that. The app has been informed and the extra chapter should be gone by the end of tomorrow. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused. Thank you once again. Do leave a comment if you're enjoying the book.****Samantha was dumbfounded as to why her friend was talking this way, especially after being the one who suffered the most because of Lucas’ action. So why was she cutting him some slack? An answer popped into her head, but that definitely couldn’t be it. However, in order to be on the safe side, she aired out her opinion. “Kiandra, please do not tell me that you’re falling for Lucas Valencia,” she remarked and expected Kiandra to vehemently deny such a thing as she would have done.However, Kiandra did no such thing, causing the colour to drain from Samantha’s face as she realized what was happening. “You have got to be kidding me!” Samantha ex
Just like Liam had envisioned, Lucas decided to spend the night at his penthouse, as it was better to deal with Kiandra than to deal with Daira or his father. It seemed Liam had forgotten all about his penthouse and even if he had remembered, he wouldn't be able to stop him from accessing it.He immediately started the car and headed to his penthouse. When he got there, everywhere was dark, indicating that everyone had retired for the night.He didn’t bother to turn on the lights as he was well acquainted with the place, plus he could make his way with the lights that were coming in through the windows. After taking off his jacket, he headed straight into the kitchen as he needed to get a bottle of water. After drinking the water, he sat down on the kitchen stool to make a few calls before retiring for the night.Before he could, however, take his phone out, he saw someone step into the kitchen. He quietly opened the kitchen drawer and brought out a knife, just so he could have a we
Kiandra fled straight to her room after she left the kitchen. And after making sure the door was locked so Lucas wouldn’t come in, she collapsed on the floor.‘What did I just do?’ she asked herself in shock as she was still in denial over what had just happened. ‘He kissed me and I kissed him back. And not only that, I almost took off his shirt. Are you mad?!’ she chided herself.Her hands went into her hair and she was reminded of Lucas’ hand which had run through her hair. “No!” she exclaimed. ‘Stop thinking about it. That kiss meant nothing,’ she assured herself.‘We both know that’s a lie. That kiss meant a lot,’ her inner voice said to her. ‘Shut the hell up?!’ Kiandra reacted in irritation.‘Lucas Valencia is dangerous and you shouldn’t get involved with him. In fact, the whole kiss never happened,’ Kiandra resolved and she got up from the floor.‘The kiss didn’t happen and that’s just it,’ she said to get her mind off what had just happened. She looked at the time and saw that
Kiandra couldn’t stop her cheeks from turning red at Jasmine's shameless statement coupled with the fact that her mind took her back to that steamy kiss she and Lucas shared. "Oh no, you've got it all wrong," she cried out and Jasmine chuckled further, adding to Kiandra’s embarrassment. “It’s not like that, Mrs Gerano. He’s just my boss and besides, he has a fiancée,” she pointed out.“Please, there’s no need to be formal, call me Jasmine,” Jasmine corrected Kiandra. “And about the fact that he is engaged, we both know how that’s going,” she said vaguely, not bothering to go into details as she was sure that Kiandra would understand what was going on with how close she and Lucas were.Kiandra was shocked to know that Jasmine knew of Lucas and Daira’s rocky relationship. She didn’t know if Lucas would be happy to hear her discussing his private life with someone else and so she didn’t say anything in response.Jasmine took the cue and she didn't say anything else. After all, she had o
“But you just said you would fire me,” Kiandra cried out. She however comported herself when Lucas glared at her. “I should have just told your father of how mean you are to me,” she complained.“And I swear, I would have really made life unbearable for you,” Lucas swore.“That’s it, I’m going to look for him and tell him,” Kiandra said and she immediately left.“Kiandra,” Lucas called but she didn’t stop as she closed the door behind her. ‘Brat!’ he hissed under his breath as he picked up his phone to call someone.“What is up with the old man?” he asked after the person answered the call. “He is refusing to get treatment and he isn’t taking his medication,” the person informed Lucas. “Sir, at this point, he’s killing himself and his wife doesn’t seem to care.”“I’ll handle him,” Lucas replied, and he disconnected the call. Tyrone Valencia was one of the biggest pain in his butt. He sure knew how to get on his nerves. Taking a deep breath, he headed out of his office only to find h
“It was either that or I kill someone,” Lucas said and Kiandra wondered if he was joking or being serious.“Wait, are you really serious about killing someone?” Kiandra asked when they got to his office.“What do you think?” Lucas replied, giving her the chance to draw her own conclusion. She squinted her eyes at him but she didn’t say anything else. “Inform the heads of department that I won’t be able to handle the next meeting,” Lucas instructed her and she immediately got to work.“Are you okay?” she asked when she saw Lucas slum into his chair. “I’m having a headache,” Lucas told her. It started back in the meeting but it had gotten worse and so he was no longer able to ignore it.“You need to use painkillers before it graduates into something else,” she said. “That won’t be necessary, I’ll be fine in a few minutes,” Lucas replied and he rested his head on the chair.“I’ve never met a person more nonchalant about his own health,” Kiandra hissed and she walked to the wall, tryin
