His fingers moved delicately down the back of my neck, his thumb making circles as he did so. His grip became firmer as his hand came around my throat, pulling me even closer to him. “You-” his thumb found my lower lip. My lips parted slightly as a little quiver ran through me at his touch. The intensity in his eyes drew me deeper. I know I shouldn’t be thinking of anything inappropriate but how could I when he was….Lucille’s POVThere were many things I wished would never happen to me. Movies? Yes, it was fun to have that in there but in the real world, when your life was at stake? That was out of the question.Those words made my heart race. I swallowed hard, darting my eyes around. “What- what do you mean?” I asked.“Yeah, what do you mean? This is Dr. Shepherd, the best heart surgeon in the city and a doctor of your hospital,” Benjamin backed me up.“I know who Dr. Shepherd is and it definitely isn’t this man standing here,” Dr. Lint said then turned to the other man. “And this man…” he paused, then turned to me. “Got his medical license revoked last month for malpractice.”“That can’t be true. He’s been taking care of my wife for days now,” Benjamin said.“What?!” Dr. Lint exclaimed.“I am a doctor and he’s lying to you both, okay? I am the doctor in charge of her case,” the doctor —no, the po
Lucille’s POVI returned to the ward defeated. Pamela knew who did this and now the only clue she gave me was gone. Benjamin came to me, guiding me back to bed. “Are you going to tell me what that was about?” he asked, handing me a glass of water.I took a sip. “I… I thought I lost something,” I said.“You thought? You didn’t?”I shok my head. “No, no, I was overthinking. Could be the loss of Pam getting to me,” I said.“Honey,” he hugged me. “I understand. She was like a mother to you and it breaks my heart to see her go in such a way. I’m here for you, okay?”I nodded, laying down. Soon, I drifted off to sleep. I woke hours later to the sound of voices around me. “I know I said to come today but she suffered a loss right now, I’m not sure if she can make a statement,” I heard Benjamin.“I understand that but we cannot keep postponing it. Her statement is crucial,” another man, I could
Lucille’s POVJospehine always hid her emotions well. Quick to hide her emotions. Always steady and put together so why does she look this way? “My help?” I scoffed. “I’m in the hospital. What help can I possibly render to you?”“I know it might seem like you can’t but you can actually,” she said.I looked over my shoulder. “You can’t be here, okay? I don’t want to have anything to do with you,” I said.I didn’t want to get into anything she wanted me to do. She was… untrustworthy. I couldn’t get wrapped up in whatever she wanted to do. “It’s not what you think,” she said.“Does it have anything to do with your mafia dealings?” I asked.“Yes and no,” she said. “I am not trying to get you in or make you do something illegal. I just need you to talk to King.”My ears perked up. “What about him?”She exhaled. “I need you to help me get the documents back.”I sna
Lucille’s POVKing led us down the hallway and we stopped at the morgue. He grabbed the door handle then paused. “You have to promise that you’ll be okay,” he said. “And I’m working on it to make things right.”I wasn’t sure what he wanted to show me but I nodded. “Brace yourself,” he said then pushed the door open. A diener welcomed us. “Show her,” King said to him.He gave a curt nod then removed the covering on a body laid on a table. My hand flew to my mouth as I stumbled back. Benjamin held me. My vision turned blurry with tears. “What- what happened to her?” I asked King, my voice breaking.“Oh my God,” I muttered. “She told me she was travelling yesterday, how did she…”I crashed into Benjamin’s arms. I couldn’t imagine what had happened to her. “You were listed as her only family so we need you to sign off on some documents to get her cremated,” the diener said.“Give us a moment,” King said.
Lucille's POV My head turned to the side, a groan escaping my lips. My eyes tightened shut. The pain surged in my chest then to my head and I was back there. Twice, I almost died in a fire but I couldn’t stop thinking about this time.It felt close, frightening. My heart raced remembering the chase and then waking up to a building burning while I was still inside. My grip tightened on the sheets. The pain dropped to my stomach.It felt bearable for a second then it spiked. Literally felt like there were spikes in my stomach. I hissed, gripping them. I opened my eyes to the bright lights of the ward I was in.The smell of antibiotics waft into my nose only making my situation worse. “Ben,” I called out softly.“Ben,” I called out again when I got no response, looking around.The room was empty. Where could he have gone? I sat up, still clutching my stomach. “Ah!” the pain worsened.I pr
King’s POVAnother punch came on the man’s face. His head slammed into the table in front of him with blood oozing out of his nose and mouth. We've had him now for a few days —Lawrence.The man with a good heart after he skillfully got my woman abducted chose to return. I nursed the cigar, letting the heat of the smoke fill my mouth before letting go.Niva poured a bucket of ice water on him. Lawrence gasped awake. “Glad you could join us again,” she said, then held his face.“I’m not as mean as he is,” she gestured for one of my men, his previous tormentor. “I want to make a simple deal with you.”“I swear I don't know anybody,” Lawrence said, his voice shaky.“Are you sure? I might be nice but he isn't,” she gestured towards me.I stared down at them from a distance. There was a large glass separating me from the three people in the room. I specially made
Lucille’s POVI grabbed the blinking wristwatch, shaking. I had given Harvey this wristwatch, one so he could contact me if there was trouble and two to locate him at anytime.But the house had a signal blocking feature I had installed. This blinking meant it was still being tracked. I threw it to
Lucille’s POV“This way,”I nodded with a smile as I trailed behind him. Every corner we turned made me more alert with dozens of guards stationed at each corridor.“Welcome, Miss Lucille,” Josephine said, gesturing for the seat across from her.I took a seat as she continued. “You know I miss Bri
Lucille’s POVIt’s been days since I spoke with Josephine, yet I couldn’t relax. Not when I was yet to understand what she truly wanted. Our last conversation echoed in my mind over and over again.“Why do you want that?” I had asked after she made the most strangest request.Josephine smiled. “I j
Lucille’s POV “Come,” King pulled me into the dance floor, hands on my waist.“Dance,” he whispered.We moved to the slow rhythm of the music, surrounded by so many other couples but I could still see Benjamin. He was still staring. Still watching.I shouldn't have taken my mask off. I scolded mys
