10 hours before the party
Eloisa POV
I set up my alarm on my phone at exactly five in the morning. I slowly drag my lazy body out of our bed when Kent woke up with my sudden movement.
He impatiently opens his eyes to see what I was doing.
"It's too early. Where do you think you're going?", he asked me while I was preparing myself to take a shower.
I sat beside him and planted a kiss on his lips.
" I'll go jog to stretch my legs, honey. I felt my body seems to get weaker after we get home." I mumbled.
Kent was still sleepy so he let me go.
"Just come back before Dilan woke up l, okay? You know he's looking for you every time he woke up." He reminded me.
I just wear my sweet smile at my husband when he said about our son Dilan but the truth was I hated him so much. When I see his face especially his eyes, it reminded me about Lucy.
He's not mine to protect and defend. I
Kent POVIt was Sunday and I'm so excited to know the result of Lucy's ultrasound. I have a great feeling that the baby in her belly was a boy. She always nagging me about the spicy foods she craves and sometimes she's stubborn to keep herself inside the villa.I called Eloisa too that I will be home late because of an emergency business meeting. I bought her favorite fruits apples and grapes. I did some groceries too so she can't nag at me anymore."I'm home!", I stepped inside and saw Lucy preparing our lunch.She's still charming and curvy with the flowery duster I bought for her. Even her belly is now six months old, she's still sexy for me." Oh, you're on time! I'm about to serve our lunch!", she looks excited about her menu than my presence."Was it tastier than me?", I slowly lean closer behind her back and wrapped my arms around her waist.She holds my hands and caresses them.&nbs
Lucy POVI woke up and found myself laying on my mattress. I felt strange since I didn't go back to my room last night. Did Gale carry me all the way upstairs just to place me inside my room? I feel careless because I didn't remember that I fell asleep on the terrace.I quickly put my toes on the floor and ambled out from my bed going to the bathroom. I made a quick shower and open my dress cabinet to choose what kind of outfit I will be wearing for today. It's my me-time so I have my freedom to go anywhere I want. I decided to wear a plain white t-shirt and baggy pants to go to the supermarket for groceries. An Adidas white sneakers will be more attractive to pair with. I love wearing comfortable dresses especially when I'm not inside the penthouse or office.I sat in front of my make-up area and saw my reflection in the mirror. I saw myself but in an aura of a different person and not the coward Lucy from the past. While thinking about what happe
Lucy POVI almost forgot what I need to buy for groceries because of the sudden presence of Kent. I tried to act cool in front of him but deep inside, I have torn apart, broken into pieces, helpless, and damaged. He's the one who made my life miserable. If he didn't hit in me, fooled and betrayed me, everything is perfect even he's not with me. Yes, I admit, I trusted him with my life and it's the biggest mistake made in my life.I saw him walking away with guilt in his eyes. He should feel how to lose loved ones since he took our child away from me. He has no idea that the contract made by his wife about adopting Austin was fake. He's a total asshole.I shook my head and take a deep breath to vanished all the memories I had with him five years ago. I was so crazy and blinded to everything by loving him back then. Call me bitch, fool, imbecile, and dumb but I was too young and in love back then."Wake up, Lucy. You're now G
Eloisa came home with her crumpled face. She roamed her eyes inside the mansion to look for her husband but she found nothing. She quickly grabs her phone from her handbag and called him."Hon, I thought you're not going to the office today and I will take charge in the meantime? But where are you? I just got home!", she said with a pissed on her face.While talking to her husband, she didn't notice that Greta was inside too playing with Austin. Eloisa heard a noise upstairs so when her house staff passed by holding a tray of snacks for two, she asked her." Hey, do we have a visitor here?", she said and her staff nodded.She was confused since no one came into her house except the people who were part of their family. She took the tray from her and offer to bring it upstairs."Let me. Anyway, who came here to visit Austin?", she asked her staff again.She scratches her head trying to remember the name of the guest un
Two months earlier...Gale took care of Lucy after she was buried alive by her abductor. While busy with his business and the penthouse he owned, he didn't neglect to help her.While drinking a glass of wine on his mini bar inside the mansion, a great plan came up to his mind. He wanted to take down his brother and he can use Lucy to take her revenge on Eloisa and Kent too for making her life miserable.He went to the cabin where he kept Lucy to protect her from the people who will go to hurt her. Because of Kent, she almost died.Lucy POVI was having hot milk on the terrace when I saw Gale's car stop in front of the house gate. I saw him smiled while approaching me and I do the same."You want milk?", I said while raising towards him my mug." I'm good. I just came here to visit you and to proposed a very important deal if you accept it!", he said and shook his head for the mil
Eloisa POV" So he met Gregory and this bastard told him everything? He's dead meat for me." I mumbled as I went back to my car.I saw my husband Kent how he was deeply hurt at Lucy's disappearance. Of course, she was his first love but poor Lucy, I get what I want and she's always a loser until her last breath.I heard also that they're suspecting Greta as Lucy? How come when I saw Lucy's corpse right in front of my eyes. Great Stone was unlucky to have a face like Lucy because she took my lover from me. I hold the steering wheel and pressed my hands on it and glared in my side mirror."Gale is mine too. I will make you vanish like what I did to Lucy and everything will be mine!", I murmured while making my way back to the office.Kings and Queens Hotel are now facing short income and potential investors went down one by one and I don't know why. I had to checks what wrong with our company that they need to let
Gale and Eloisa walked out of the lobby when Cassandra spotted them. She quickly followed them after realizing that she was the woman in the picture. Lucy just left their meeting place and she gave her the advance payment for her first-ever mission as Cassandra."I think this will be my lucky day!", she mumbled after tailing them.Eloisa holds Gale's arms but the guy pushed her gently." Are you insane? We're in a public place and I'm on my way to take my wife to the mall for shopping!", Gale told Eloisa and she rolled her eyes and walked ahead while stamping her heels on the cement road.Gale just shook his head to see Eloisa leaving him. He knows exactly how to handle her especially when it comes to sexual desires. Even she's mad to search on him, a little kiss and pampering touch will make her calm.Cassandra saw the man behind Eloisa and this man looks familiar. She has no idea if he's a celebrity
