As Lucian strode down the corridor to his room, his mind wandering far away, he felt he heard some commotions, but minding his own business he was tempted to dismiss the commotion echoing around him and just walk by.
Memories of the enigmatic woman's kiss lingered, tugging at his focus. Lucian could clearly recall the softness of her lips, the warmth of her breath, and the subtle taste of her lips. The gentle touch of her hand at the back of his neck, and the electricity that had sparked between them stood out in his memory.Buried deep in his thoughts, Lucian halted, he had heard a familiar voice broke through the chaos, the same voice that had sought his aid at the hotel's entrance, the voice felt like of someone in need, helpless, barely audible.Not very sure whether he was hallucinating or something, Lucian stood in place, he wanted to be sure that it's the same voice, and sure enough he heard it once more."Help me! Somebody help me please!" The faint whisper rang once more in Lucian's ears.In that moment, Lucian's hesitation melted away, replaced by a resolute determination to rush and find the owner of the voice. With swift purpose, he turned towards the source of the distress, ready to intervene.Lucian found the familiar little girl carried and surrounded by a group of young men, her dress torn to the point that her cleavages were visible to their display. At a closer glance, Lucian realized that the girl herself was not very okay, she felt so weak, and her eyes were barely open,she was only trying to keep them open. Sweat trickled down all over her face, her cheeks flushed from heat and a general feeling of discomfort evident from the way she was turning about.Lucian didn't know why he felt the need to protect her from those perverts, he just wanted to be her shield in such time of distress. If you were to ask me this was so unlike the normal Lucian, normally, he just didn't care about anybody, except for his family, and friends, not like he got any friends anyway, he is always aloof to make any friends.Without hesitation, Lucian sprang into action, dashed and jump before them blocking the way. He wanted to negotiate with them as he didn't like any violence, not that he is a coward."Leave her alone!" he bellowed, his voice clear and distinct in the deserted corridor. The assailants lifted their faces to him, expressions shifting from arrogance to surprise."What's it to you, huh?" one of them jeered, his words dripping with disdain."She's ours for the taking."Another voice sneered, as if warning him to mind his own business before he too could end up in trouble.Lucian's fists clenched at his sides, his resolve hardening like rock. He hated it when they claimed their possession of her, it just didn't sit well with him thinking of such shabby looking guys claiming possession of such an innocent helpless young girl.Without a moment's hesitation, Lucian sprang into action ignoring their taunts and lunged at them at full speed.Lucian first targeted on the two guys who were holding Krystie, his reflexes honed by years of training, throwing blows to them, each punch landed with bone-crushing force. The assailants staggered backwards under the onslaught. Taking the chance, Lucian pulled Krystie to himself and gently pushed her to his side as he countered his attackers, making sure they didn't have a chance to go anywhere near Krystie.Technically, Lucian was good boxer, highly trained in karate and fencing, so handling such a weak gang was not hard for him because in just five minutes they were all lying flat on the ground, each either with a broken arm or limb moaning. Lucian had really gone easy on them because on a normal circumstances they all supposed to have stopped breathing long ago.Lucian, gently picked the young girl from the ground and carried her bridal style, by all means trying to not stare at her exposed cleavages, he was a gentleman enough to know such a basic manners.One thing however, was not right because with the way Krystie's clinged her warm body to him, Lucian could feel his little brother down their reacting, waking up in the process.Lucian completely ignored his perverted mind and carried her to his room, he was not a fool to not have realized that she must have been spiked, and for some reason he knew that all this must have a connection with the earlier event at the hotel's entrance when she had kissed him.Lucian sought to take her to his room to give her first aid,a cold shower, before he could call his family doctor to attend to her.Just as Lucian lowered Krystie on the bed, she pulled him to herself, and without wasting a moment Krystie had intertwined their lips, kissing Lucian roughly as if her life depended on it.Lucian was shocked for a moment before he came back to his senses and pushed her away, but Krystie was so adamant, clinging to him.Krystie's gentle moans sounded enticing to Lucian, and as she touched herself, it acted as a complete seduction to Lucian arousing him more than he already was. Krystie's pale skin and exposed collarbones was already making it hard for Lucian to think.All the ounce of self control evaporated immediately Krystie had gently caressed his already excited manhood. As blood rushed to his lower body, Lucian found it too hard to resist her hot kisses. It seemed like no matter how much Lucian tried to stop himself from drowning in her hot wet kisses, his body, especially his already erect manhood had a mind of it's own, directing him to do exactly the opposite of what he intended to."Please help me!" Krystie's warm breath on Lucian's ears made him tremble in excitement, forcing Lucian to give in to his desires and lust.Krystie stepped out of the hotel, her heart racing from running, and her eyes filled with tears. Her once elegant dress now hung torn and tattered, a reflection of a rough night that she had shared with a stranger. Her mid thighs hurt, and her legs felt jelly, she didn't have any strength but the fear of facing the young guy was more than the pain she was feeling.Memories of betrayal flooded her mind, each step echoing the pain she had in her heart as she ran across to her car. Just as she reached her parked car, a familiar figure emerged from the shadows. It was Alex, her ex-boyfriend, the one who had shattered her heart into a million irreparable pieces. His presence sent a shiver down her spine, from anger, bitterness and disappointment. However, she refused to show any sign of weakness, not before this jerk who had betrayed her love."Krystie," Alex called out, his voice dripping with arrogance closing the difference between them cornering her between the car and him. "I didn't
Cassandra sat on her seat in the dimly lit room fuming with anger, her gaze piercing through the shadows to meet the eyes of five men kneeling before her, each had several injuries on the face and bandages on their arms. The air was thick with tension as they watched her trembling with fear. "You guys are nothing but failures, I should have known earlier before entrusting you with such a task. Was it so hard for you to accomplish such a simple task? Cassandra's tone rang, full of anger for their failure as she stood from her mighty chair and started walking around circling them. "And what happened to you all? Why do you have wounds all over your body? Cassandra asked rolling her devilish hawk's eyes.The group leader volunteered and explained how Krystie was rescued by a certain guy who had inflicted them with all the injuries. After the explanation Cassandra couldn't help but slap them, how weak were they exactly so as beaten by a single guy?There was no room for excuses or toleran
Krystie, immediately she arrived home took notice of two people who were cuddled on the sofa, Chloe sleeping on Mark's lap, while Mark held her protectively, a smile crept at the corners of her lips, and without disturbing them she walked past them so that she could go clean up, she was feeling stuffed, and the Lucian guy cologne still lingered on her body.Once Krystie was done, she came back down only to find them awake. Without a word Krystie too sat opposite them and took her phone and started playing video games, she was so tired that she had asked for a day off from work, which would be so unusual of her. Chloe and Mark sat on the sofa looking at Krystie as if she had grown horns, they appeared exhausted, with dark circles under their eyes, and drooping eyelids a clear indication that they had not slept at all.Krystie completely ignored them and let them stare at her all they wanted, she was not going to answer something that they had not asked her, she let the staring competi
Lucian who stood at the door not very sure whether he was at the right address was stunned when the door was roughly opened, "What else do you want, just do whatever you want, am not interested in you all, you can have each other, that is none of my business!"Not very sure whether the outburst was meant for him or not Lucian once more rang the bell. Irked up, Krystie opened the door, she wanted to give the duo an earful but that's until she saw who stood before her, startled by the unexpected visitor, she cautiously opened the door, her eyes widening in surprise at the sight of Lucian standing there."Lucian, what are you doing here?" Krystie asked, her voice tinged with apprehension, she had known his name when Alex had earlier on called him out. Lucian felt so happy hearing her call him by his name. Without waiting for an invitation, Lucian strode into the apartment, his demeanor brash and self-assured. He ignored Krystie's question and instead welcomed himself into her house and
Krystie's heart raced as she stood outside the imposing doors of the bureau office. It was almost the agreed time, just five minutes to eight. She couldn't believe she was here, about to get a marriage license with a man she barely knew. But the threat of a lawsuit from Lucian hung over her head like a dark cloud, forcing her hand."If that's your final answer, then I have no choice but to take legal action against you. "These words were stuck in her mind, making Krystie wonder who the hell in this world takes responsibility for their one-night stand by marrying them! Everything had started with her reckless decision last night when she nursed her broken heart, drowning her sorrows in cheap drinks that she was not careful to end up spiked. Krystie regretted it because that one night stand had turned into a nightmare when Lucian had showed up on her doorstep the previous day demanding her to take responsibility for him by accompanying him to the bureau office. Krystie felt a shive
Krystie only took fifteen minutes to arrive at the hospital, a drive that would have taken her twenty-five minutes under normal circumstances. Earlier on, when Krystie had just started the engine she had received another message from Mark who had claimed that Chloe, Krystie's twin sister was also a victim of the road accident that had occurred just a few minutes ago at the highway.Immediately Krystie arrived at the hospital she was faced with the most chaotic scene she had ever witnessed. As alarms blared and patients flooded in, those with minor injuries being assisted in while the critically injured were being wheeled in by the nurses, Krystie quickly activated her training, drawing upon her knowledge and experience to navigate the crisis. Good thing there were no deaths reported, and the injuries were not severe. With a calm demeanor, Krystie prioritized the patients' care, swiftly handling the most critical cases while delegating simple cases to nurses and other staff members.
It was already a week since Krystie had gotten a marriage certificate with Lucian, and ever since they separated at the bureau office that morning, they hadn't been in contact. Not like there was any need for it, after all, she had already fulfilled his wish. It was already Friday, and Krystie was arranging her desk, finalizing her shift so that she could go home when she received a call from her boss, Mr. Xavier West, the owner of Regal Hospital, also her godfather."Krystie, am sorry for this urgent call, but I have a VIP customer visiting the hospital for a check-up today, you are the only person that I can entrust this work to, can you please do it for me? I don't trust Mark with it, at times he is so clumsy and might do something stupid. Just be careful with him, and do not annoy him, I will see you later. "Before Krystie said a thing, the phone was hung up on her, leaving her with no choice, not like she could reject her boss anyway. If there's one thing that Krystie hates the
As Lucian and Krystie approached his family's home, the air was charged with anticipation and nervous energy. Krystie couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement mixed with a tinge of anxiety and fear.This is not the first time Krystie goes to the Wilson family mansion, but this time it is different, unlike before, this time she is not the wife of the grandson, but instead the wife of the young master of the Wilson family.'What a change of role.'Krystie had been having tie fear ever since they got their marriage certificate, until last night when Lucian had called her asking her to accompany him to his family dinner, he claimed his grandmother had commanded him to go over with a lady otherwise he should be ready to accept whoever she was to choose for him.Krystie, at first was so reluctant as she was not sure how she was supposed to face his family, but she had no otherwise in all this. She was afraid she would be judged by his family as a gold digger who was obsessed with the W
