Lucas’ POVRookie CEO of Nexus Wealth Deals with Illegal Gang Race: Drug Trafficking and Drag Racing.My heart started to pound so fast in my chest and every sound around me muted. My phone suddenly appeared small in my hand as I stared at the screen, reading the headline over and over again. I took a deep breath and sat down on the closest couch then started to read the article. From start to finish, everything was about me racing illegally, mingling with people who did drugs at the racetrack, the team embroiled in illegal activities, with pictures of me being part of the group. It was over. There was no way I was recovering from this. Henry attacked me so well and I doubt there is anything escaping it.I searched up my company’s name, going on every social media platform but there was barely any article. I was partially relieved since I was just a newbie, but the attention was still on me, and this was social media. Digital footprints would affect me even if I escaped this and becam

Jackie’s POVThe lack of sleep I have gotten for the past few days made me fear that I was going to pass out any moment I barely slept. It was already dawn and I could feel the new day but the urge to stay in bed was great. Ever since I gave birth to Drake, things changed. My body changed; my mood changed. My schedules changed. Everything about childbirth made me feel different. It was as if a new person took over the old me, a more mature-ish type of persona.I broke out of my thoughts and opened my eyes when I felt a warm weight around my waist. When it moved, my brain registered that it was an arm. I furrowed my brows for a few seconds in confusion before I remembered that Lucas was beside me. I smiled at the warmth of his arm and placed my hand over his that was resting on my stomach. His fingers flexed at my touch, making me smile. He moaned against the back of my neck, making me feel butterflies in my belly. I missed this. I missed us lying in bed and now, we were back together,

Jackie’s POVEver since I saw the email stating that the scholarship I had applied for was a success, I have not been in the right state of mind. All I could think about was what Lucas would say or how he would react to the news.Looking at him now, it was hard to tell what he was thinking because of how blank his expression was as he read through the paper again and again. I knew this was going to be difficult. I had applied for the scholarship after Andrea sent me a link to the school since her family knew the dean. When I applied for it, I never thought he and I would get back with each other. I was scared now that we were back together. The scholarship would keep me out of the continent for years and it made me worried with fear.“Lucas?” I said his name softly.I watched the edges of his mouth twitch before it expanded into a smile. I was confused for a second before he looked up at me with an even bigger smile on his face. He opened his arms like before and I got even more confu

Lucas’ POVI didn’t know how I boarded a flight back to Atherton, but I did and throughout, it felt like my soul was not in my body. I felt empty with only fear and anxiety as I was trying to understand how my son was kidnapped. Everything around me felt as if I was in some type of bad dream that I desperately wanted to wake up from.Jared was beside me on the plane, trying to calm me down but his words were either distant or jumbled up. All I could think of was Drake. What was anyone doing when such happened? Was Jackie okay? Was anyone harmed? I needed answers.Almost two hours later, I arrived at Atherton and booked a ride home. The moment we arrived at our destination, I rushed out of the car, leaving Jared to pay for the ride. There were cops parked in front of the house and my heart only picked up from fear.Jackie.I ran into the house and was met with more cops in the living room and a crying Ruth sitting on the couch. I went over to her and fell on my knees in front of her.“
