ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit ย ย ย chapter 55
Marcie's POV I cleaned up my tears and tried to keep my voice clear so that he does not get worried and start asking a lot of questions."How are you doing, my beautiful daughter?" my father asked through the phone call.I responded to him and waited to hear the reason why he called me on the phone at that time.He usually called me, but I preferred to keep my distance as I would not want to work in his organization with him. There were also some side deals that were done there, and I was against them also. "I can see you have forgotten about your father, but it is not a problem at all. I have something to share with you, and I know that you are going to love it," he tried to raise my hopes.I had already made my decision to strive for myself regardless of his health and properties."Alright, Dad, tell me what you think I would love," I said to him. I did not want to just reject what he had to offer without hearing it from his mouth. "That is my girl. Okay, there is this thin

AbbyIt was a really beautiful moment with Lucas and I wished so badly that it did not have to come to an end. I mean, where was this wishing fairy when you needed her to grant a simple request because I wanted to plead that I be allowed to keep this man for the rest of my life. He was just so nice to me and I realised that if he asked me to dive into the ocean for him, I probably would. Unless my father of course would lose his heart for his daughter. But everyone gets the point.The moment he asked that I lose the panties, I stood up with a smile and then slid it down. He watched me intently and I was wondering if he was already thinking of going back on his promise. I was already sore and wanted to tell him that the private suite was out of service until now but still, I said nothing. I had the panties in my hand and waved it to him. He smiled."Let me have it." He said to me and I raised my brow suspiciously.Nevertheless, I stretched my hand across to hand it to him but he would

Lucas All I wanted was to stay with her in that space. Abigail was everything I wanted. She was my dream and my fantasy. I realised as I was laying on the bed watching her sleep that she was the one I had always been in love with. She ticked all the boxes for me and as a man of great intents, I knew deep down that I desired a lot from her. I realised that she must be exhausted and hungry when she wakes up and that I needed to get us something to eat. I recalled how most times her father and I would be out at the Chinese restaurant with her to eat. She always seemed to enjoy herself with some Chinese and I decided to get some. Thinking about the memory of those times, this very moment was beginning to make me feel like some sort of pedophile. Hell, I had watched this girl grow into a woman and now, I had tasted of her womanhood. Tell me what other thing is more sick than that. I decided to leave her side for now and go get ready. Getting into the bathroom, a thought crossed my mind a

Lucas I know very well that it was a flash of some sort and not some lightning. I looked down now at Lucinda, anger was already coursing through my veins because I did not know what had actually happened. I had my suspicions but there was little or nothing I could do with mere speculations unless she told me what it was. She was watching me from where she sat on the ground and suddenly, she started laughing. I would never know what was amusing her right now but I knew she had done something. With Lucinda, one thing was certain and that was the paparazzi and their willingness to come capture the latest scandal.I squatted now in front of her as I levelled with her. She did not seem fazed one bit about my demeanor and that was going to mean one thing. She had it all figured out already and had already gotten what she wanted. I asked her again, this time in a softer tone with hopes that I would cajole her into telling me what was going on."Tell me, Luce, is there something I should kn

Lucas It was really a slow drive and several times I had to hit my horn to tell her to pick up pace but she was obviously out to make me feel frustrated. I could tell she was enjoying everything that was happening and took her time with it all. One time, I had been so pissed that I drove up to her side and looked at her. She was nodding her head to the music she was playing and I was calling out to her for her to listen. I knew she could hear me but just kept playing her games which got me really pissed as I fell back behind her. I told myself that I had signed up for this and definitely had to see it to the latter.I thought of a form of distraction from her behaviour and then it struck me, Abigail. The mere thought of her made me feel like I had gone away from Lucinda's shenanigans. I thought of her soft skin that I should have stayed back with instead of coming out here to be provoked beyond measure. At least Abigail would listen to me when I asked her to do something and she was

Abigail It took a lot of smiles from my face to make Jack calm down. I felt really bad this time because I should have at least given my own coffee to Sarah and taken his own, that way, I would have known what it tasted like against a day like this. But then, I recalled that I also had not asked him to make me coffee nor did he ask me after my preference. He went on to assume things and I went on with my life. If anyone should be feeling bad right now, it should be me.Nevertheless, I noted how at first, he had smiled wearily like he was forcing it. I wondered if he wanted me to notice it or something. Whatever the case may be, I was not really moved at the moment. I simply watched his reaction and then told him I needed to start going back to the office as there was a ton of work there for me to do. He nodded immediately with a smile that was a little nerve unsettling. I realised I was not cool with him being around me. What would Lucas think when he sees us this way? If anything,

Lucas I was unsettled even as I drove back home. Lucinda knew what she was playing at and I just had this hunch she had an ace up her sleeves. Clearly, she had told those cops that I had been the crazy ex. There was no way in the world the duo could have known where she was if she did not mention, or even that she would be passing a certain way. It was all intentional and I was already angry. I drove in a frenzy with a clear cut promise that I would pursue this case.Home, it felt like I was in a strange place. It was tossing and turning around all through that I had to keep dealing with as the memory of what had happened with Abigail kept playing through my mind. Clearly, I had betrayed my best friend and the trust he had for me. I didn't even know how I would face him should he return and that was not compared to how I would feel when he called me. I also knew that skipping his calls would do no justice which meant that I would face him eventually.But then, why did I feel like it

Lucas My reaction to Abigail was really hurting me but at this point, I was already battling with so much. There was a high chance that my best friend was being cut open at this very moment and he might not make it. I did not want to live with the memory that after he left, I was already taking advantage of his daughter. That would haunt me forever. I would have rather she and I come clean to him together. That way, there would be clarity in everything we did. All I needed was his phone call to tell me that he was doing alright after the surgery. On her own part, Abigail was already making me nervous. I saw how beautiful she looked and had we not been doing these things secretly, I could have gone over to embrace her. It would mean so much to calm me down that I have a feeling for her. Besides, she looked really beautiful when I saw her. I wondered if she had taken her time to dress up for me or something. I decided that I would avoid her for the time being and stay here praying tha

Lucas It was finally time. I mean, Lucinda believed that she could use the press against me as a weapon and I would sit back and watch. It was finally time to play the same game as her. I was already a rejuvenated man at this point when I realised that all along when I had been scared, Gavin was actually rooting for us. It felt really great that he was not fighting me for his daughter's attention and somehow, I was beginning to feel like I owed him much. At first, it was really hard to believe and I wanted to tell him to come clean on what he was planning on doing to me but I simply kept my mouth shut. It would be best to dwell on his current promise after all.I arrived at the venue for the conference and as soon as members of the press caught sight of me, they were already rushing towards me with a lot of questions spewing from their lips. I was intrigued at the moment with how desperate for information they all were but I made my way inside without saying a single word to them. As

Abigail I should have known that my father would react this way. I mean, what was I expecting? That he would stay silent and ignore me all through without any back up plan? Of course he was going to come over and I had been totally vulnerable at this point.Lucas was pretty much calm that I had not been expecting this sort of reaction from him. He was being respectful to my father in such a way that I was wondering if he would win the old stubborn man over. I have always had my way with my father being paved clearly for me because I was either throwing a tantrum or I was fighting against him. And that was the exact strategy I had been looking forward to sporting. Tormenting him until he had no other options but to give in had been my go to plan and I did not care one bit about anything else.I wanted to ask Lucas to stop but now he has mentioned Lucinda and my father was demanding to know if he had thrown me to her."Of course not, dad. Actually...." Just then, the doorbell rang and

Lucas It was beginning to show down that everything was going in different directions. I had not anticipated that Gavin would find out about us in this way as it would have been a more respectful approach when he was all healed and stuff. Right now, we had to make this decision because it would have been worse if he had to find this out through other means. He was obviously pissed at the moment as we kept trying his number until then, we gave up. I actually asked Abigail to stop because it was not working."Do you think I shouldn't have mentioned it to him?" She asked me."Well, there's no point dwelling in the past. You said that you're ready to fight for us and so am I. How about we figure a way out of this mess together?" I asked her."But what if he hurts himself?" She asked me."Hurt himself, that's not the kind of person Gavin is. He would probably be thinking of how to cut my balls and feed them to his pets. I know that for certain." I said to her and she smiled. Obviously, sh

Abby I was shocked. I had come home with pains and a heavy heart. Seriously I wanted to go drink myself to stupor but I did not have the strength. Lucas had left the office and I came home after work. My phone was ringing over and over again from Taylor and I was in no mood to speak to her. All I could do was keep crying in my room alone because I had a feeling that he was with her. From time to time, I would pick up my phone just to check and see if there was anything from him and her. Maybe I had been partially thinking they would finally decide to make it true and open to everyone that they were sleeping with each other. I just wished this was all a bad dream that I would wake up from but pinching myself and I realised that it was the real deal. I had successfully lost him to the arms of his ex lover and I would learn to live with the pain of the moment we shared.I was wondering who it was that was knocking on my door and a part of me wished he was the one. I wanted to see the lo
ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit ย ย ย chapter 89
LucasI never would have expected in my entire life that I would be this shocked. I had gone there with the clear reasons that I was going to confront her and try getting her to rebuff everything so far. I mean, she had done nothing in the line of denying what was in the news and I was not finding it amusing at this point. So, I just sought to reach an agreement or something when she suddenly mentioned Abigail's name. I stopped for something as I had watched her while she was sleeping with triumph. She knew that she clearly had me by the jugular at this point and by the scruff of my neck which was a bad moment.I thought about the best way to get her off my back and decided to play with her."What are you saying? I'm here for us to discuss your little stunt." I said to her,She suddenly erupted into an annoying laugh that had me provoked."My little stunt you say? Come on now, Lucas. I had never thought of you to be petty as well as crazy. That's her name, the bimbo who you were defen

LucindaIt was time to get ready and my entire apartment was crawling with fashion designers. I had excused myself to shower before coming out to sit down for my hair to get made. I was asked if I had any style in mind but there was actually nothing. I simply wanted the best look that they had to offer. If I was going to make a debut, I was going to look lol. I had never been through hell while doing it. Jarvis on the other hand was really occupied with taking calls and she spoke now with so much authority as I could hear her declining some and leaving others on hold. Each time our gazes met, she would give a thumbs up to me and I would return a smile to her.She was right about one thing, we were back. No, I was the star here and it was my controversy that was the star of the whole show which means she needed me more than I did her. I sat down there and then one of them brought me a catalogue from which I could pick my hair. I did not have the time or energy for such things."Listen,
ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit ย ย ย chapter 87
Lucinda Well I was in the mood at this point. To think that Lucas would ever embarrass me because of that nobody was something I never thought in my wildest dreams would happen. And I saw that look in his eyes. This was the look of a man in love and was not willing to leave that woman. He looked like he could actually kill me while he had been defending her and she had looked at him as I would my very first highschool boyfriend. Now, this was becoming clear that it was no longer a coincidence. I had met him the other day at his office and he was talking to her. The same girl was coming out of his office another day and I was beginning to piece it all little by little. Who on earth was this lady that had this side of him coming out. He was never this protective of me but I could identify when a man was guarding his own and I realised that I had a contender for his attention.I had seen the girl and I already knew she was very young which means that she would bow to pressure but I was

Lucas I could not believe my ears as she spoke to me. Apparently, we might have fooled everyone else but she could tell there was a sort of chemistry between us. She had not been certain but when she had mentioned that Abigail had been led away by Lucinda, the hurry with which I had gotten up was faster than usual. I could have made a call that the security escorts Lucinda out but I went there and took care of it myself. She also mentioned Jack and how I kept questioning her about anything that would bring him close to Abigail. In her own words, it was like a wolf guarding its own and I was stunned. All my efforts at keeping things discreet were beginning to fade away and I was only lucky she said everyone else thought that I hated her. That was a plus as it was bad enough that I had myself wrapped in a scandal but having to drag her into another that would complicate things for her was not something I wanted to deal with."But you said that I was treating her too badly. I mean, you
ENTWINED HEART: desire and deceit ย ย ย chapter 85
Lucas There was no best way to explain this to her that she would pay attention to. She was angry and she probably hated me so much that I could not even get through to her. I was observing her as she spoke, she had a rather deeply rooted pain in her and the thought of me being the reason for her pain really hurt. Just a few hours ago, I had been making promises to her and I meant everything I said. I had been ready to come clean with Gavin on how I felt about his daughter but seeing her right now and how angry she was, I started to take a pause. I knew it would be nearly impossible to break through and I would have to figure out a way.There was however one thing that I knew I had to do and that was make this right. I could either do that or convince Abigail that this was all a set up. I watched as she walked away angrily but then returned to take her glasses when I tried to bring her in for a kiss. Not because I was making light of her emotions but I had seen such situations on the
