“So you are saying that wearing skimpy and short clothes won't work on him?” Mia asked, bewildered.She and Eva were talking about the steps on how to seduce Lucius, “yeah it won’t work Eva replied.“So what will work then?”“May I give some suggestions?” Nathan chipped in and they both turned to him.“Sorry, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop but you guys were talking out loud and…”“Stop blabbering and make a damn suggestion!” Eva snapped.“Okay babe, so I think that she should learn about Lucius first before doing anything else, that will help you know what you are dealing with” he suggested.“That is easy peasy, let me tell you everything I know of Lucius” Eva had turned to Mia.“Lucius is quite a short-tempered person and he…”“That’s not what I meant, babe,”Nathan interrupted.“What do you mean then?”“I mean that Mia should get closer to Lucius to know the next step to follow,” he explained.“Oh, that will be very hard, Lucius don’t let women stand ten feet away from him” Eva said.“D
As she walked into the room, Mia was greeted with the smell of mint, it was also modestly sized compared to the other rooms in the mansion with the wall painted a soft cream colour.And a plush armchair sits by the window with a small wooden side table beside it. The chair is upholstered in a warm, earthy fabric with a soft cushion.A crackling fireplace in the corner of the room casts a warm, golden glow. Despite being in a mansion, the room is simply decorated with a few personal touches that were made carefully.“Wow, I prefer this to the previous room” Mia remarked.She immediately stripped off her clothes and walked straight to the bathroom to take a much needed hot shower.Like the bedroom, the bathroom has a warm and inviting atmosphere with walls painted the same soft cream colour. It includes a compact but elegant vanity with a sink, a toilet, and walk-in shower with warm-toned tiles.The shower has a rainfall shower head for a soothing experience.Mia turned the shower and
“Ahhh!!” Mia released a scream that the whole country might have heard as she turned and saw the person that tapped her shoulder. He was wearing a ski mask with a small knife in his hand.“Hi,” he said and brought down the knife he was holding toward her chest.Adrenaline surged through Mia’s veins and she pushed the person away and made for the entrance door of the garden.As she ran, she could hear the footsteps of the person chasing her, and she increased her pace, hoping he wouldn’t catch her.She cursed in her mind why the garden was so fucking big; she had been so immersed with the flowers that she didn’t notice she had gone far.Finally, she saw the door ahead and made for it, instantly locking it with the bolt when she got out. She walked away quickly, heading to the entrance door to the manor when she saw Eva standing outside the door with her phone to her ear.“Hi, Eva,” Mia panted when she got to her.“Where did you go? I was looking for you everywhere?” Eva asked when she
But Lucius wasn’t a bit moved by the man because he left his hand hanging in the air and started scanning the room. His eyes sort of saw a familiar figure that had been a part of Eva earlier this week.He pulled his sister closer to him and forced her to look at the person, “What is she doing here?” he asked, gritting his teeth.“I don’t know,” she replied.“I came, saw her on the way here, and we came together,” she added.“You should really learn how to lie because you suck at it,” Lucius said before he left her.The Capo had finished discussing with the man, so he left there going to other people. As Lucius walked past him, the man couldn't help but glare at him.But he stopped immediately when Lucius looked at him. After greeting a few more people, the Capo then headed to where Mia was standing.Emily had left her long ago and she was just there trying not to look awkward. “Hi dear.”Mia turned around and saw a man who looked like the older version of Eva and her brother combined,
Lucius’s driver reached the manor and drove into the driveway, stopping at the entrance door. The driver came out and opened the door for him. Lucius came out and scanned the surroundings; a lot of things had changed since the last time he came. A dark glint appeared in his eyes as he went to the flowers planted in pots beside the entrance door. What was there before were black roses, which were his mother’s favourite, but now they had been replaced by red ones.“How pathetic,” he muttered before heading to the entrance door, while his driver went to park the car in a better place. Entering into the huge living room, he was met with stares and whispers from people. They were surprised to see his sister at the party, but seeing him too much. Lucius spared none of them a glance as he walked to the stairs, ascending the staircase. He just wanted to talk with his father and leave immediately.As he came to the hallway heading to his father’s room, he wondered the reason why he visited his
