Her Husband's Rival: Lucianda's Revenge Chapter 11: Pulling strings
On the other side of town, Prince Hakeem was busy pulling strings as he sat calmly at his desk while his close hand, Sultan, stood close by, in trembling silence.He was never sure of the duty his boss would assign to him and he was damn sure he would die of ulcer one day.“What’s the latest update on the woman?” Hakeem asked his assistant without lifting his head from the documents he was reading.“Report says she is presently at the mall with that other woman, sir, and they are having a good time chopping for her new friend and her son.” The PA reported in a nervous voice.When it comes to this woman’s issue, his boss was not a calm man so Sultan is always on his toes and at alert.“Okay. Make sure the team keeps their eyes on them. I want to know every one of her moves but she must never suspect she is being trailed.” He instructed calmly, still concentrating on the papers.“Okay sir. Everything will be done neatly.” He promised.With a small nod, Hakeem casually dismissed him.Rel
Her Husband's Rival: Lucianda's Revenge Chapter 12: Meeting of souls
“So, aunt Lucianda, when am I going to meet your son, Julian?” As far as Sammie was concerned, that’s the most important thing today. Meeting the five years old boy Lucianda had told him about.“Soon, I am sure. He will be somewhere in the house and sooner than later he will find us before we find him.” Luci said with a small laugh and Sammie giggled while his mum also smiled.“I cannot wait. The world is boring without a friend.” He said this in a long suffering tone and his mum was aghast.“Sammie.” She called chidingly.“But it’s the truth, mum. You always tell me to tell the truth.” He insisted with a pointed look at his mum and she returned his look with a glare.Laughing so hard that she hurt, Lucianda bent forward to ruffle his full hair that needed a good cut.“I love your honesty, son.” Luci told him encouragingly.Turning to glance at his mum, he gave a satisfied smirk.Laura rolled her eyes. “Don’t encourage him, Luci.”“Oh please, free the innocent boy. He is of course rig
Her Husband's Rival: Lucianda's Revenge Chapter 13: The Move
Prince Hakeem is making an attempt to take over the Julian Castos’ Hotel?Her son’s heritage? The only few things he had left from his father?“No! Never! There is no way I will allow that.” Lucianda vowed aloud.When the drama of her husband’s shipping company’s takeover had been going on with Prince Hakeem, Lucianda had stayed well out of it, knowing whatever the men had together was their business and did not concern her.So she had watched calmly and indifferently as Hakeem ruthlessly and painstakingly went after her husband and his business. It’s not that she did not care or worried about being homeless, it’s just that she had watched her husband doing the same to other people.So who are they that the same couldn’t be done to them by another ruthless businessman? Lucianda was a great believer of Karma and she knew what goes around will always come around.But now? He’s trying to involve her innocent son in this stupid war and hatred of his? Never! Now when she is alive!She woul
Her Husband's Rival: Lucianda's Revenge Chapter 14: The Rejection
With his continuous silence, Lucianda felt he wanted out and she would be forced to actually make good on her threats.“I will appreciate it if you can take your leave now, since you obviously have nothing to say for yourself.” She continued in that cold tone, while praying he would say something to make her change her mind about sacking him.Seeing that the madam was angry, he turned for the door and left. Lucianda wanted to scream as she watched him leave.When he closed the library door behind him, Lucianda felt so frustrated by the turn of events, she picked the coffee cup on the table and threw it against the wall.It was when she saw the shattering mess on the floor, she realised she just destroyed another memory of Alex Castos. That was his favourite coffee mug.What a message!Just as Lucianda picked another thing to throw, in order to vent her anger, she saw the man standing by the door and she froze.Lost in her thoughts, she did not hear the door being opened.Slightly amus

Few minutes later, she was out of the door, and when she saw her personal chauffeur waiting calmly for her beside the car, she gave a brisk nod in response to his greetings.“Drive to Sixth Avenue, James. We are going to the Kindles and Lawyers complex.” After this, Lucianda put her head on the headrest and closing her eyes, she planned her moves.Thirty something minutes later, her chauffeur informed her of their arrival to the location and Luci took a deep breath before glancing at the tall building in front of them.Popular for no other reason than the fact that the best lawyers in the city could be found in the complex building, It had of course made Sixth Avenue a popular one in the city.Lucianda did not have an appointment and so she was not expected, but she was not planning to let that deter her. She only hoped the person she was coming to see would be on seat.Though she had never met Tony James, she had of course heard of the young man. A native of America, he was in his e
Her Husband's Rival: Lucianda's Revenge Chapter 16: The Surprise
When the calm looking lawyer saw Lucianda, a flash of light came into his eyes also and he blinked in surprise before the mask of professionalism came over his expression. He moved closer with a business-like smile. “Mrs Castos? I was told you would like to see me?” Even though they were all aware she practically forced her way in, none of his manners showed it.“Hello, Mr. James. How are you doing?” Moving forward, Luci stretched her right hand for an amiable handshake and then tilting her head to the side to access the man she had come to see, she gave a radiant smile that transformed the whole of her expression from Beautiful to Exceptional.Tony James was human after all? He could not take his eyes away.Even his secretary could not control the small gasp that came out of her lips. ‘Who could have believed one person would pack such a dollop of smile? And just imagine, she had not thought it necessary to bless me with it.’ Miffed, she glared at Lucianda in mild jealousness.To s

Finally, she was going to get the justice she had been looking for.“Thank you Tony, I feel reassured now that I have met you, and please, call me Lucianda, Luci for short.” She told him with a beaming smile and Tony James returned it with a cute smile of his own.“Okay Lucianda. Now I will need some information from you, so we can start work on this person as soon as possible.” He took some blank papers from the corner of his desk to make notations.“So can you tell me briefly exactly when and how this man took over your husband’s companies? What really transpired between them, do you know?” He asked in a kind voice.Luci grimaced before answering. “Sincerely, I can only tell you about the time it all happened. What transpired between them was not something I was privy to. All I know is, my late husband so much hated and feared this man, he was like a bitter medicine in his mouth every time his name was mentioned.” Luci recalled with another grim twist of her lips.Tony James made qu
Her Husband's Rival: Lucianda's Revenge Chapter 18: The Visit
Two days later, Lucianda was waiting for Julian to come down the stairs so they could play their favourite game, when an unexpected visitor walked in nonchalantly, as if that particular house and the universe belonged to him.Deep in thought, it took Lucianda some minutes before she could believe her eyes, and even at that, she only stopped questioning her brain and eyes when he coughed slightly to let her know he was indeed real and in her house. To torment her, she assumed.Jumping up so fast that her head almost left her neck, Luci asked with an angry voice that was nevertheless obvious for its shakiness.“What the hell are you doing here?” She honestly could not believe he would have the audacity to show up in her home.For days, the beast had kept her on her toes in her bid to stop him from uprooting everything she held dear for her son.“Language, language, language Mrs. Castos. Do you think our dear boy would be happy to see his mum doing that?” He asked genially in a patronisi
