Chapter 44 Lucien POV…. Did someone just attempt an attack on my life? But I smiled coldly after thinking about it. Were they starting to get impatient already? But it was too early. "Quickly call an ambulance, someone has been shot!" The room was plunged into a commotion and everyone started running in all directions. "What happened? Where is security?" The room was suddenly in chaos but I did not dare stand up. They had missed their target, what if they fired again with such a commotion and hurt innocent lives? I can never allow that to happen. Besides, Camilla was here and I don’t know where she is, what if something happens to her? "Everyone calm down, no one is hurt. Please just leave the hall quietly so that you don't allow the assailant to attack again. I am here and I will make sure that nothing happens to you." I noticed that I was still wearing the microphone so I spoke through it to calm everyone down. I tilted my head from the ground and saw that people were moving
Chapter 45 Lucien POV… After preparing the water, I placed her in the bathtub gently and started unbuttoning my shirt. "What are you doing?" "I am removing my clothes," I said, as a matter of fact. "But I thought that you were bringing me to take shower." "Yes. We are showering together." I did not stop my hands as they continued to undo one button at a time. "Didn’t you want to look if I was hurt anywhere back at the hotel, well I am giving you a chance to take a closer look." Her eyes flashed with embarrassment and she turned her head to the other side, but soon she turned to look at me again. Her cheeks were flushed red and it was tempting me to take a bite. I don't know if it was due to heat coming from the shower, but her body was making my throat run dry. She was still wearing her clothes and now that they were wet, they helped actuate her curvy figure and I could not help but swallow a lump of saliva down my throat. "What are you looking at?" She asked, her voice f
Chapter 46 Camilla POV… I was a little scared. What is going on? What has come over my Lucien? Why is he suddenly cold to me? The dark aura that he is emitting, it was the same aura I felt that day. "Don't worry, it is me!" He said but his voice was still cold and I was not convinced. Lucien has been nothing but gentle to me, and this… "Who are you and what have you done to my husband?" I asked. Although this person had the face of Lucien, his eyes were very different. They entirely belonged to a different person. Where has Lucien gone, he has been here just a moment ago, what has happened to him? Panic hit me and I could not even think straight. "What have you done with my husband?" I asked frantically. "Hey, relax. Lucien is here. I mean we are one and the same but we just have different personalities. You can call me Jack." "What… Jack?" I asked, puzzled at the sudden turn of events. "Something terrible happened to Lucien when he was still young and so to protect hims
Chapter 47 Camilla POV… We arrived at the airport just in time when my sister called and said they have landed. "Sis, where are you? We have already landed!" Her excited voice came over the phone, making me to subconsciously smile. My sister has always been bubbly and I guess that even after so many years overseas, she hasn't changed one bit. "We are in the parking lot. I guess it is not far from where you are." I told her. "You are with brother-in-law?" "Yes." "Hehe sis, I will come over right away. I cannot wait to see you." "Just take your time. Don't run around and knock into people, we are waiting for you." I said over the phone. She might even forget that she is in a crowd and start shoving people everywhere. … After ten minutes… I had already alighted from the car and was standing outside. I saw a tall girl drag a pink suitcase walking towards us. She had short hair and she was wearing a body hugging tank top and black tight. She had on high, black knee length
Chapter 48 Camilla's POV… Since my sister returned, we have practically spent every minute of the day together. I took her to our company that I have been working on, and we spent our free time shopping together. We did almost everything together. Lucien has been moving back and forth between towns doing his campaign, it has been a long time since I took a proper look at him. He had gone out of town two days ago and we had not contacted each other for the whole of yesterday. I missed him, so during the lunch break, I decided to call him and chat with him. I dialed his number but it did not go through. I dialed his assistant’s number but it was also switched off. I suddenly became worried because this has never happened before. No matter how busy he was, Lucien will never switch off his phone. Could something might have happened to him? He went to give out food and clothes donations to the people who have been affected by floods and the storms that have been going on in city Y. C
Chapter 49 Camilla's POV… I sat in the helicopter, looking in the far away distance. It's like I could see Lucien calling out my name and reaching out his bloody hands asking me to save him. I was stunned and immediately closed my eyes, but that was even worse because now the images became even clearer with my eyes closed. Lucien please, be safe. Don't let anything happen to you or I will never forgive myself. I should have gone with you. I should have spent most of my time with you! Please moon goddess, if you know how much Lucien means to me, please keep him safe for me. "Miss, what are you thinking about? You have been zoning out ever since we bordered the plane?" The person sitting next to me asked. I was in disguise since my photo was released online, so no one recognized me. "It is nothing. I am just wondering at what time we will land and if we will be able to rescue everyone." I said, making sure to not appear or sound sad. I don't know how many people on this plane
Chapter 50 Lucien POV… The moment I arrived in this city; I knew that it was a set up by the enemy. Although I would have still chosen to help the people, I did not like being used like a puppet. But I cannot blame the mayor since he might also have fallen under someone's schemes. The first day went well, the second day also went well. Although the rains were heavy, it was nothing life-threatening and we were also evacuating the villagers to safer grounds. But on the third day, after seeing a few unfamiliar faces pretending to be villagers, my sixth sense told me that something was wrong. It was also affirmed by Jack and Andy who also felt the danger. The whole village had explosives buried in it and if not for a small boy playing with a grenade thinking that it was a toy, the enemy would have succeeded in burying us alive. Those who had buried the explosives had left and maybe they were, thinking that the heavy rains will and poor terrains will prevent us from leaving. But ma
Chapter 51 Author POV… {third person narration} The internet was in an uproar after Lenox finished his speech. Those families, whose members had perished could not stop crying. City N was a mess as others cried while others celebrated. One of the netizens, whose son had insisted on following Lucien said online… “I warned my son not to go to such a place. I already had this nagging feeling that something will happen to him. But because he is a strong fan of Lucien, he insisted on going and said that he wanted to be a part of a good cause. Now, he is gone just like that. He was my only son and now I have been left childless.” Other netizens sympathized with her and sent her consoling messages. Everyone was demanding the mayor to give them an answer as to why something like that happened to their children. “This child Lucien, he was too handsome and had such a promising future. He is so humble and down to earth and doesn’t like to show off, unlike someone else. I knew that with his
