Craving you: Locked Desires Chapter 190
Lucille’s pov There stood the bride to be. My very own Marcella. But why would I even call her that anymore? She was a past lover and the fiancée of another man. Life really had a cruel way of playing tricks. She stared back at me, frozen in the doorway. I wanted to act like I hadn’t seen her, but who was I kidding? It would be far too awkward. I didn't even know how to react if I should offer a fake congratulations or let my anger boil over. I was still weighing my options when my emotions completely overrode my brain, pushing the words out of my mouth. “Hello, Mrs. Ortega... Oh, I’m sorry. Soon to be Mrs. Ortega.” I raised a hand in a mock apology, waving it with forced carelessness. I knew I was a bit tipsy from much drinking but I was still conscious of my actions. Her neutral expression soured into bitterness. She marched toward me, her eyes flashing with anger. “Don’t give me that bullshit, Lucille. If you’re going to congratulate me, at least try to make it sound real.”

Marcella’s pov I was suffocating in the middle of the room, buried under an endless barrage of hugs and congratulations. I shot my mother a look of deep, mounting concern. "You two are going to make the most perfect babies," someone whispered to my mom, making her giggle delightedly. Too many people were crowding me at once, their embraces overlapping. It felt as though the actual purpose of tonight's event had been completely forgotten, and everyone was suddenly here to celebrate Patrick and me. I felt like I was no longer even standing on my own two feet. The entire room had swarmed around me, and everything felt chaotic. Suddenly, a gentle tap landed on my shoulder. I turned around to find Mrs. Parker standing there. She looked like she belonged to the highest tier of the wealthy elite. But who was I kidding? Lucille had already bagged several massive endorsement deals of her own. Her family was no longer leaning on Patrick for financial support, they were big names in thei

Lucille’s pov“Yes...” her voice was low at first and there were murmurs.“yes…..yes I’ll marry you,” she said this time louder and more confident.She delivered the words with a smile I couldn’t quite decipher, a smile masked in a tangle of conflicting emotions. My heart dropped to my stomach. It felt like the final blow of a battle that had already been lost.The crowd erupted into cheers and applause. I could only stand frozen in my corner, staring at the couples while a brutal, unfamiliar pain ripped through my chest. I gripped the stem of my glass so tightly I thought the crystal would shatter right in my hand.So, it had finally happened. Marcella was officially Patrick’s bride to be, exactly as he had warned me she would be.I felt miserable, hollowed out from the inside. Everyone swarmed the newly engaged couple, showering them with hugs, kisses, and congratulations for their good news. Meanwhile, my mother and I remained anchored to our corner, forced to witness the agonizin

Marcella’s pov“Hello, everyone…alumni and seniors."The whole crowd turned toward him as his voice echoed through the room."It is with the greatest pleasure that I stand before you as your host tonight.” He paused, basking in the glory of the moment. But just as he was about to continue his speech, a guard approached the stage and leaned in to whisper to him.The room waited in hushed anticipation for him to resume, and so did I. I couldn't help but wonder what the guard could possibly be telling him. I quietly weaved my way through the crowd to the front line, I was his woman, after all, so it shouldn't matter if I wanted to see him up close. More than that, I wanted him to see me. I wanted him to know I was watching.I took a slow sip of my wine, observing him over the rim of my glass.Suddenly, he looked right at me. “My baby really does know how to command a room at the perfect time,” he said, raising his glass in my direction.I was stunned by his words. He truly was made for t

Marcella’s pov I had to live up to everyone’s expectations. I had to play the part of the doting, perfect girlfriend to Patrick Ortega. The now CEO of NO Dynasty. My fate was already sealed. I wanted to fight it, to find a way out, but how could I? This was my life now. The silence inside the car was suffocating as we drove home after the event that night. "Can you just say what you’re thinking already?" Patrick’s voice shattered the quiet. I looked over at him, my eyes cold. I had a million things I wanted to scream at him, but only one question actually mattered. "Why did you do that?" I asked. "Do what?" he replied, playing dumb with a flawless innocence. I took a deep, steadying breath before asking again. "Why did you insist on hosting the graduating ball this year?" I demanded, staring at him, hoping for a piece of honesty. He let out a low, amused chuckle. "Let’s just say... I’m about to call it a win" He glanced at me, a mischievous smirk playing on his lips. "What

Lucille’s pov I had become a different person on the field, always making sloppy mistakes. My mind was no longer in the game no matter how hard I try. Don’t get me wrong, running is my life, running is what I live for, this is the only thing that drives me. But we all know that whatever is driven needs to be fueled and the only thing that fueled my heart is gone. I had tried to live with just myself these past few years, it had been so difficult. Seeing their love escapees on the television, having to talk about them on my interviews, always faking a smile like it didn’t matter but sure it did. I tried to rule them out of my thought but it was impossible. They existed in my life even though I didn’t want them to. Watching them from afar is different from seeing them up close. From afar I can say it’s an act to keep the public from asking too many questions but from up close, I could see what I lost right in front of me. Stretching out my hands but unable to reach, life is really

Marcella’s pov When I finally stepped through the front door, I was glowing, my skin still flushed with the lingering heat of everything that had happened. I just had my first time, I never expected my first date to be so breathtakingly perfect. And my first time… what’s the word? Fabusome!!!!!.

Lucille’s pov Have you ever wanted something for so long that the desire became a part of your DNA? Maybe you’ve always dreamed of scaling a mountain, boarding a plane for the first time, or finally holding the keys to your own home. Maybe it was a business deal, or finally marrying the person w

Lucille pov Finally standing before the house of the one that haunted me every night since I left, I replayed the last scene we shared together before I left for college. The confession I had been so desperate to make before family obligations pulled me away and silenced me. Marcella Solis, bea
