“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
“You just made a deal with the devil,” Lucas said and he closed his eyes to finally get some sleep.“The devil always loses,” Kiandra commented.“You know, if I’m going to be nice to you, you should also be nice to me,” Lucas commented.“Too bad, that wasn’t in the deal,” Kiandra responded and Lucas chuckled as it had skipped his mind to bring that as a condition.There was silence after that but it was one that the two found comforting. “Kiandra,” Lucas called after some time.“Yes, Mr Valencia,” Kiandra responded.Lucas opened his eyes and frowned as he didn’t like the sound of her calling him ‘Mr Valencia’ especially after hearing the way his voice sounded sweet from her lips. However, he didn’t say anything as he didn’t want to push it.“What are you thinking about?” he asked curiously“About how I'll get to boss you around when you lose the bet,” Kiandra said and Lucas chuckled. “Why do I feel like you have bad intentions towards me?” he responded.“Because I do,” Kiandra affirm
Lucas sighed deeply when he saw the gates to his family's mansion open as the place had both bad and good memories.The bad memories however overshadowed the good ones and that was why he refused to come here. The bad memories came rushing to his head as the car drove to the mansion. They finally reached it and Lucas got down from the car and headed straight for the entrance.He rang the doorbell and barely two seconds later, the door was opened by a helper."Good evening, Young Master,” she greeted him and slightly bowed her head.Lucas walked into the mansion and headed straight for the dining room as he wanted to be out as soon as possible. When he got there, he found it to be empty. This meant that his father hadn’t come down yet. He took off his jacket and sat down on his seat. This used to be where he and his parents would sit and dine together. Back then it used to be filled with laughter but now, everything had changed. He heard footsteps approaching the dining table and w
Lucas didn’t know what came over him to do such a thing but he didn’t regret it. His attention went back to Kiandra and he slowly moved the strands of hair that had fallen on her face away so it wouldn't disturb her.Just as he was about to get up, Kiandra held his arm and when he turned he found her still asleep. ‘Please don’t kill my child,’ she muttered in her sleep and Lucas frowned. This was the second time he had heard Kiandra pleading for someone not to kill her child.He had asked his team to investigate the first time and they found nothing. Asking kiandra was out of it as he knew she wouldn’t tell him anything. "Kiandra, snap out of it, you're in a dream," he whispered to her. This seemed to work as she stopped mumbling and opened her eyes to look at him. "You were having a nightmare,” he told her and she closed her eyes back to return to sleep. Lucas stayed for a few minutes to make sure that she would be fine.And after being sure that she was okay, he covered her and
“Lucas, are you sure, you’ve never done this before,” Kiandra asked him worriedly.“How hard can it be,” Lucas replied“I want my hair braided into two,” Zendaya told Lucas and Kiandra knew at that moment that it was going to be a disaster.“Lucas, let me help you with it,” Kiandra offered.“No, she said she wants me,” Lucas said defensively. He then tilted his head to the side and said to Zendaya, “Let’s go get your hair braided.”“Yay!” Zendaya said excitedly and she and Lucas went back to the room she had just come out from. Kiandra quickly followed them so as to keep an eye on them.Lucas sat Zendaya down at the dressing table and he touched her hair. “How did you want your hair again?” he asked her.“One to this side and another one to this side,” Zendaya answered and she described it to Lucas with her hands.He picked up the brush and brushed Zendaya’s hair. He then parted her hair and that part had no problem. The problem however started when it came to the braiding part.Havin
“Why do I feel like you're mad at me?” Liam asked casually. He squinted his eyes when he saw Lucas get up from his seat and walked over to where he was. Liam already knew what to expect and so he calmly took the punch that Lucas gave him the next second. He staggered back but he managed to regain his composure. “Your punches have become weak,” he mocked Lucas. Having grown up together, they had had their fair share of physical fights.“You’re lucky we’re in the office or I swear, I wouldn’t have stopped,” Lucas growled.“Why are you getting angry at me when I didn’t do anything?” Liam asked as he touched his jaw.“You fucking left me on my own. If not that I had my penthouse to go to, I would have been stranded,” Lucas yelled.“I don’t understand why you feel I left you stranded. I mean, I’m not the one who showed up unannounced at your house,” Liam defended himself. “And I did give a suggestion that you could go to your father’s house.”Lucas moved to punch him but Liam wasn’t ready
Kiandra arrived at Zendaya school and after going through security, she was allowed in where the principal was already waiting for her.“What happened?” She asked as the principal led her to the school’s health center. “According to her teacher, she brought out her food to eat at lunchtime and she took a bite of the food. She was however unable to take another bite as Jayden Gerano threw something which made her food spill. A few minutes later, she started throwing up and that was when she was taken to the school nurse,” the principal explained.So this meant that Jayden had unconsciously saved her daughter from harm, even though he had no idea that he was doing so.They got to the school nurse’s office and Kiandra was immediately ushered in to see her daughter. “Zendaya,” Kiandra called and she rushed to hug her daughter.“Mummy,” Zendaya responded in that weak voice of hers. She was immediately reminded of that man’s words. It was just this morning that Lucas commented on how Zenda
