LOGINLucille’s POV
“Pick one.”I chuckled, shaking my head. “No, you’re going to trick me again,” I told him.“No tricks this time,” Benjamin said with a michievious smile.He brought his folded arms forward, moving them back and forth, urging me to pick. “Fine,” I stared at both of them a while before tapping his left. “This one.”“Final answer?”“The right hand looks tempting,” I searched his face. “Yes, final aLucille’s POVMy heart dropped but I recovered quickly. I kept my gaze steady on Katherine. She stepped away, laughing. “You knew,” she said. “You fucking knew.”She kept on laughing. “And here I thought you were some saint. You wouldn’t want something tainted but I guess that doesn’t involve your cheating husband. What would the front news look like?”She thought for a second. “‘The famous lawyer —no — the queen of the courtroom who is all about the good thing actually picks up trash’ yes, I like that one,” she laughed again.I was seething inside but could only listen. “Oh don’t look at me like that. You know what you are,” she said.“And you know what you are,” I clapped back.She laughed then leaned in. “Oh, yes. I do. I am the one who fucked your husband so bad he forgot to come home.”I slapped her. Hard. Her face whipped to the side. She brought her hand to the spot. She looked s

He brought his folded arms forward, moving them back and forth, urging me to pick. “Fine,” I stared at both of them a while before tapping his left. “This one.”“Final answer?”“The right hand looks tempting,” I searched his face. “Yes, final answer.”“Okay,” he shrugged opening his left hand.He laughed as my shoulders fell. “Again?”He opened his other hand and it was also not there. “Where is it?”He took it out of his pocket. “Trickster,” I said as we both laughed. “Where did you learn to do that?”“Youtube. After a long twelve hours of torture, they explained the trick in the last minute,” he said, laughing.“Well, that was fun,” I said.
Lucille’s POVRelief flashed on King’s face as he walked into the ward, shutting the door behind him. “What are you doing here?” Benjamin asked, hostility in his tone.King ignored him walking to me. Benjamin stepped in front of him. “This is my wife. You do not walk in here without my permission. Get out,” he gesutured for the door.King tried to walk past him but Benjamin kept his hand out. “Ben,” I called.“Yes, honey,” he replied with his eyes glued to King.“Let me speak with him,” I said.“I don’t trust him, honey. He is intentionally trying to get close to you. He is wrong.”“I’ll be careful. Just let me talk to him alone,” I said.He snapped his head around. “You’re going to stay alone with him?” he asked.“I’ll be fine. And I have the call button,” I said, grabbing the little remote on the bedside table.He took my hand. “Are you sure?
Lucille’s POVMy head hurts.I felt tired. I shook my head, trying to come to. Then I smelt it —fire, smoke. I sluggishly opened my eyes. My vision was still unclear. I coughed, the smoke sipping into my lungs.I darted my eyes around. The smoke had engulfed the space. I tried to move but couldn’t. I was tied up. Strapped on a pillar. The fire only increased. “Help!” I screamed.I coughed, the air unbearable. “Help me!” I screamed once more.I choked once I tried again. I couldn’t breathe and still felt tired. My eyelids felt tired. My body felt foreign. “They drugged me,” I thought to myself.It hasn’t worn off. They were trying to kill me!I panicked, stuggling with the ropes that kept me bound to the pillar. The rough edges of the ropes, pricked my skin but weren’t enough to keep me awake. My eyelids kept getting heavier.“Lucille!” I snapped my head to t
King’s POV“Quite a show you have brought to me,” she said with a smile. “But you should know I have nothing to do with her abduction.”“Do you take me for a fool? Who else if not you would touch her?” I asked.“You should cover all grounds instead of being here, threatening me. Because like I said, I do not have her.”“So I should believe you’ve had a change of heart?”“A change of heart, no but she is useless to me. Especially right now. I heard she had decided to return to her husband. Never thought you’d be rejected so blatantly. I rather you live with that knowledge,” she said.“Search,” I ordered.Gary and a few others moved. I couldn’t trust her words. Who else would want to hurt her especially in that manner? They returned a few minutes later. Gary whispered in my ears and my frown only deepened.“You can’t protect her from everyone who would want to get to you. If
King’s POVI should have gone after her. Stopped her. Tell her the fucking truth but wouldn’t that just upset her even more?I took a seat, filling my glass with wine. “Boss,” Gary stepped into the room. He handed me a new pack of cigar. “The batch has arrived,” he said.I hummed, then lit up a cigar. Gary stared longer than I wanted him to. “Do you have anything to say?” I asked.“Permit me,” he said.“I am not giving up on Lucille,” I said.He wore a look that told me all I needed to know. I knew what he was worried about but I wasn’t. My phone lit up with Lucille’s name flashing on the screen. I picked it up to a panicked voice.“K-king?!”“Lucille!” I got off the chair. “What’s wrong?”“I- The brakes, it’s not working,” her voice shook.“Where are you?!” I asked, sending a signal to Gary to find her.He rushed out almost i
Lucille's POV “What are you doing here?” I asked Gary.He looked taller and broader than he had back at the club. It could be because of the dim lights of the club or the fact he had a gun pointed at me less than five minutes of me being in the club. All that didn't matter now. What mattered was
Lucille’s POVHis thumb grazed my tongue with an enchanted look spread across his face. I was turned on by this gesture. He raised his eyes to meet mine and I swallowed.“What is going on in that mind of yours?” he asked.I swear I couldn’t think. I took note of his cologne mixed with the disinfect
Lucille's POV My head ached. Bad. I groaned, turning to my side but hissed as my head made contact with the pillow underneath. That snapped me out of the darkness that engulfed me.I fluttered my eyes open to a room I didn’t recognize. I lazily turned to the side until it dawned on me what I had j
Lucille’s POV“Move,” he ordered.My legs did as instructed, only managing not to trip on themselves. At every turn, he gave the order on which to take. Everyone we walked by said nothing.They acted as though it were normal. I should have expected that when I chose to walk into the most illegal de
