MasukLucille’s POVI quickly comfirmed Harvey was safe through the cameras in his room. I did a quick sweep of the surroundings and found no one and nothing out of the ordinary. It was surprising to find her alone and in this house.I sent a quick text before taking a seat across from her, the table giving us as much needed space between ourselves. “Not a very warm welcome I see,” she said with a smile.“You came to my house uninvited,” I said.“I came to see you,” she said.“And you couldn’t knock like a normal person, instead you intrude. What if I didn’t come down?” I asked.Her face wrinkled with another smile. “I could have waited until you did,” she said without missing a beat.Close up, I could see the exhuastion on her face. Dark circles around her eyes, pale skin and weak eyes. The stubborn, well composed lady I had known was gone.I wonder what had happened to her and how bad it had been for her to turn this way in just a few weeks. “What happened to you?” I muttered“Who else?”
Lucille’s POVThe door slammed open and Harvey rushed to me. “What is it, Sweetie?” I said with a smile.I helped him up on the bed and he took position beside me. He rubbed his eyes, yawning. “I want to sleep with you, Mommy,” he said.His eyes opened fully and he stared at my face with a frown. “Are you okay, Mommy?” he asked. “You’re sweating alot and your cheeks are red.”My gaze flicked to the curtain and then back to Harvey before shaking my head. “I’m okay, baby. I just feel a little hot,” I said.He glanced at the AC. “Is the AC bad?” he asked.It isn’t, sweetie. Mommy almost got caught. I swallowed the words then pulled him closer. “Nightmare?” I asked.He laid his head on my chest, eyes shut then shook his head. “No, I just miss you,” he said.I smiled, caressing his hair. “I’m right here, sweetie. You can sleep now,” I said.It wasn’t long before his breathing became even. I stared at the curtain, a smile tugging at both sides of my lips. “You can come out now, he’s asleep,
Lucille’s POVI scrolled through listings, trying to find a new house I could get. Selling the old one wouldn’t be a hassle. It was in a prime location, competitive and the best environment in the city.But buying another seemed to be a hassle. Either I didn’t like the location, the layout or the price was just not worth it. I needed the best and I needed everything that would be perfect for this new change we were embarking on.I let out a sigh, leaning into my chair, eyes fixated on the laptop screen. “What are you doing?”I yelped, snapping up the chair as I spun around. I relaxed, once I realized it was King. “What are you… How did you get in here?” I said.“One question at a time,” he said and a shiver ran through me.He crossed the room in quick strides and pressed a kiss to my neck, hands squeezing my waist. My body leaned into his touch, but I snapped myself out of it. I tried to pull away but he grabbed me harder which made me gasp.“Running away?” he whispered.I scoffed, sh
Lucille’s POVHe caressed my face with the back of his palm, eyes lost on my face. The way he looked at me always made me open to him. Like he could read me more than I could. I wasn’t sure why I hadn’t realized it earlier.Only one other person had made me smell the taste of blood and death. It was tormenting. Yet, ironically even when we met face to face, I forgot who he was and was leaning into it.“I could have killed you.”His words snapped me out of my reverie. I shuddered involuntarily. Although it didn’t seem like he would do it now, he could have back there. “Was that the first thing you thought about when you saw me?” I asked.“The first thing I thought about…” he paused, thinking then a smirk tilted the side of his lips upward.His gaze fell to my chest then back to my face. “How you planned to put me in jail,” he said.He said it like it was amusing. “You think I couldn’t?” I asked.“You tried, not once or twice and how did that pan out?” he said. “And if you truly did tha
King’s POVHolding her in my arms, staring into those beautiful eyes of hers, it led me back to the first time I saw her. Five years… I have known this feisty little thing for five years now and at the time, she hated me.Five years ago…“Cheers to the goddess of the courtroom!” Mathew screamed his drunk lungs out as the party clicked their wine glasses.Lucille emptied her glass in one swing then shook her head. “I am no goddess,” she said.“Tell that to the media,” Katherine said.“They love exaggerating things,” Lucille waved her hands in dismissal.“Exaggerating?!” Mathew exclaimed. He raised his hand, spreading his palm as he began highlighting, holding his fingers in demonstration. “Your firm went live three years ago and in two years, I mean in two years…” he looked around. “You’ve managed to secure a win for over thirty clients and you say they are exaggerating. If you ask me, anyone can come to you and they’ll win for sure.”I was in the club for some business. I stepped out
King’s POVI hadn’t seen Lucille in days. I couldn’t concentrate. Every word Ivan and Preston said were filtered by my mind. It continually drifted to Lucille. They didn’t notice or they wanted to get things over with.Taking over two factions in a short period of time was exhausting and I’ve had more people trying to act like they could control me. Fortunately, Ivan and Preston were close to me, but weren’t close enough to have my full attention.Lucille was seething with rage and holding her down on the bed was not helping either. “I trusted you. You know how much I want to protect my son and you chose to hide something that important from me!” she yelled.She was upset and yet all I could see was those lips of hers. I’ve missed them. Acting distant while she remained so close to me was torture. She tried to stand but I grabbed her once more, pressing her down onto the bed, with her hand trapped over her head. “Let go of me.” She struggled to get me to let go.“You’re the only one w
Lucille's POV “Here boss,” the lady that was meant to be dead said, handing a key to King.I blinked a couple of times, staring at the face of the woman I had shot on my very first day in this club. So much so it traumatized me.However, there was a difference.That lady was quivering just at the
Lucille’s POVKing pulled me into him, his hand around my head as the glass at my side shattered as well. “Out!” King ordered the driver.I heard the gun clock as he got out of the car. My body shivered at the sound of the gun. A loud thud followed and a splash of something which reached my face.I
Lucille’s POVWith Harvey at my side, we went for the door of the house. After a twist of the key in the hole, the door flung open, revealing an open living room. The sofas were distances away from each other, a massive television at the side. The blue paint wasn't exactly the colour I liked, but
Lucille's POV I struggled with the ropes around my wrists, but they were too tight. Pulling too much only got me bruised. I stopped when I heard footsteps approaching. “I’m sorry, Miss Lucille, old habits,” Josephine snapped her fingers and her men retracted their guns. “Get her out of those dam
