CHAPTER 61They boarded the helicopter and Nancy admired the city lights below as they ascended. She was cooped up in Lloyds arm. Her chest resting on his comfortable and perfect chest and she could hear and feel his heart pounding gently.She said nothing and relished in the comfort that his presence brought to her. She wondered if she ever truly stopped loving him.She suddenly noticed she couldn’t see any more lights and everywhere below them had turned pitch black.“Seriously Lloyd, where are we going?” She asked, sitting up and frowning her face. She was beginning to hate the suspense.Lloyd chuckled at her expression. “Is your frown supposed to scare me into telling you?” He mocked, earning him a more nasty glare.“We are no longer in the city, everything below is pitch black,” She replied, easing up her frown.‘What part of surprise did this woman not understand?’ Lloyd mused.The suspense she was feeling was exactly why the surprise he had for her was going to be worth it. He r

CHAPTER 63When Lloyd got to the house, he met Emily leaving.“Going to Kyle’s?” He asked with a smirk on his face.Emily’s face flushed and she replied. “Yeah I am.”Lloyd hummed in response. “You know if you ask me, I think you should just move in with him for now. He was in a lot of pain earlier and it’s not good for him to be alone all the time.”Emily was surprised. She had talked to Kyle almost every hour today and he didn’t for once mention any pain to her. Was he trying to hide his pain from her? “He didn’t tell me he was in pain and besides if he wants me to move in, he can tell me himself,” She replied with a shrug. She knew Kyle was the shy type but at least he could tell her something like that if that was what he wanted.“Daddy’s back Lex!” Lloyd suddenly heard Leo’s voice from inside.“Take care Emily, I’ll see you tomorrow then,” Lloyd said and stepped into the house.When Lloyd entered the house, he saw Leo standing by the door with a big grin and he hugged him. Soon L

CHAPTER 65As soon as Lloyd saw her walk in, everything clicked. He knew exactly how she got the information about his project. His fucking father.Allison had been trying so hard to reach Lloyd but he kept blocking her everywhere. She contemplated just showing up at Nancy’s house unannounced but that wasn’t her style. She already had plans to take care of Nancy. What she wanted was a chance to at least talk to Lloyd but the man was stonewalling her to the highest degree.Her incessant complaints to her father and Lucas made them both buy a Russian investment holding company and secretly named Allison the CEO.Lucas knew about Lloyd’s new project and he was the one behind the Chinese investors' skepticism. He knew that would open the door for Lloyd to consider other options, especially when the option in question was eager to invest in the project.He knew Lloyd was going to turn it down anyway but at least it would give Allison the chance to have an audience with Lloyd. Allison was c

CHAPTER 67It has been six weeks since the incident with Allison at Lloyd's office and as Lucas said, Allison had kept her distance from the family.The hotel and restaurant were finally opened and thanks to Chef Al’s involvement with it, it was an instant success and Nancy found herself involved more with developing recipes, planning menus and cooking supervision more than actually cooking day in and day out.Chef Al of course was a great help in helping her develop her own recipes. He would often chime in a few words here and there, but he mostly did nothing else than that.He was huge in the corporate side of things, also teaching Nancy a few things.The end of the year was upon them and thanks to the restaurant’s instant fame and Nancy’s ever growing social media audience, a prestigious award group, called the People Of Wonder, shortlisted Nancy for an award in the Sensation of the Year category.Nancy initially didn’t want to go but Lloyd persuaded her to, so she can gain the netw

CHAPTER 69The news of Chloe’s death hit the city like a wildfire. It trended almost as much as the incident from the previous night. Different speculations and theories were flying around, regarding the cause of her death. Some said it was the drug she took at the party, some said it was the taser, some said it was the doctor’s fault for overdosing her, but they were all wrong.Lloyd had flown back the very next morning. He canceled his business trip to be with Nancy. He tried to give her as normal a life as possible, but it was looking more and more like he had to have bodyguards follow her everywhere, henceforth.Harry Granger was livid and had sued both the hospital and the organizers of the party, where Chloe had taken the drink. With Chloe dead and the officers unable to secure a confession from her, the innocent waitress was the one who was going to take the fall for her crimes.However, Harry was convinced that Nancy had something to do with the death of his daughter.
