With shaky legs and fingers, Lucianda entered the moderately clean bathroom and without allowing herself to be distracted by the simple but obvious touch of luxury in the room, she walked to the pristine basin to throw some waters on her wrist to calm her nerves. Not that she was expecting it to be of much help but unsure of herself just now, she had needed to escape from that loathing man’s presence. At least to reassess her options.Taking some deep breaths to calm herself, Luci sat on the toilet seat as she pondered on her next course of action.After a few minutes, her eyes grew hard and with straightened shoulders, she walked out of the room. But when her eyes met the intent eyes of the man looking at her so penetratingly, her legs fluttered noticeably and she almost lost her calm facade. Telling herself any show of weakness will only make this beast of a man more powerful, she forced her legs to move towards the chairs placed in front of his desk and moving to one of the chairs,
Looking at the beautiful but annoying woman before him, a smile curled Prince Hakeem’s hard looking lips.“You really want to play this game with me? Because I warn you my dear lady, throwing insults at me is one of those things I will never condone from anybody no matter how pretty their face is.” He warned softly and she knew he is at the end of his patience.One more taunts and he might just do his worse. And remembering the family she left at home, she knew there is no way she would ever allow that.“What exactly do you want from me?” Luci addled directly, knowing she can no longer postpone the inevitable with taunts.“Your body. I want your supple body beneath mine as I grind my rod into you and you scream my name while forgetting all about that idiot you married. Because you see my dear Lucianda, only when I take over your mind and soul will my revenge be complete on your late husband knowing that even in death, he isn’t finding peace.” He uttered harshly and Luci winced physic
Totally forgetting that she had come to the place with her personal car and driver, Lucianda saw a cabbie that was just dropping its passenger and she immediately hailed him down. Collapsing back into her seat after giving the man her home address, Lucianda closed her eyes tightly in hope that she can shut out the memory of what just happened now. But when the picture of the man with his eyes that’s so green it’s unforgettable immediately came to her mind, Lucianda knew it will be a job of a lifetime and even then, one might not succeed completely. ‘That pretty man with a disgusting attitude will be easy to forget the day it becomes easy for humans not to breathe for air.’ She acknowledged silently in dismay as she searched in her mind for something, any topic to take her mind away from the man and it was at this point she remembered the family chauffeur she left behind. Gasping in dismay, she promptly searched her bag for her mobile phone and pressing the dial button, she waited
Few minutes later, Lucianda came out of the other door that led to the back of the house and following her instinct, she removed her heels and exchanged it for the outdoor slippers kept by the side before resuming her walk. She kept going straight until she came across her targets but just when she opened her mouth to announce her presence, a surprise met her and she yelped so loudly, others turned and laughed.Turning a fiery brown gaze on the source of her present predicament, Lucianda saw her son laughing happily into her eyes as he held the hose and just when she opened her mouth to say something, he doused her again with water and Lucianda gave another yelp while the others laughed so heartily.Foolishly, she realised she had just walked in on a water game and her boy isn’t ready to exclude her from the fun. Knowing there is no way around it, she is completely wet now, Luci made an impressive swift turn that would have impressed any gymnast as she grabbed for the nearest hose. H
By the time the Castos were done with them, Laura and Sammie admitted that indeed it’s the best game of their lives and they all got rewarded for their efforts and participation with a sumptuous meal from the family chef who had been informed by Luci earlier to make something special for dinner. But even as Luci laughed and nodded to all the teasing around the table, a part of her mind was now occupied with that dreaded man and his plans for them. Unable to shake away her melancholy feeling, she sighed wearily but softly yet her everly attentive boy picked on it as he swung his gaze towards her. “What’s wrong Mummy? You look sad.” Julian Castos asked softly as he kept his penetrating eyes on his mother, watching for every nuance of expression as Luci raised her gaze in surprise to look at him. “Hmm, nothing. Nothing is wrong son.” Luci refuses to burden her son with their troubles. Though smart and intelligent, there is nothing he can do to help, not this time. Besides, how do you
Few minutes later, she realised how futile it is trying to shut that man off even from her head and she angrily snapped the water shut before walking out with a fluffy towel wrapped around her body. Deciding that maybe that suggested rest might be what she actually needed, she fell to the bed and allowed a deep sleep to claim her.At the other end of town paced a restless angry man who is unable to sleep. What made it crazy was the fact that he knew the cause of his restlessness which made him angrier and confused.“Lucianda Castos! Who the hell are you that the thought of you is enough to deprive me of my beauty sleep?” He kept muttering angrily to himself even as he paced back and forth within the opulence of his quiet home.Not for the hundredth time, he felt that his house is too big for him alone and it needs more humans to appreciate it. Briefly, he spared a thought for marriage, a marriage that will give him heirs and the idea was a soothing one even though as an Arabian Prince
Having made his wish known to his personal assistant and knowing how immediate his orders will be carried out, Hakeem now felt reasonably calmer as he stood under the spray of the shower.Few minutes later, he dropped the soft towel on the floor of his rich carpet as he stood nakedly in front of the mirror. For a weird reason, he felt an impulse to check himself out and see his physique from a woman’s point of view.No, bluntly put, from a particular woman’s point of view. The Castos widow! And this realisation brought a dark scowl to his usually perfect face as he tried not to think of the implication of that thought.Yet, he was unable to refuse as he moved closer to the wide mirror that took over almost half of the wall in his private chamber. Usually, he only spare the mirror a glance every morning and that’s usually after dressing for work. Never had he thought a day would come that he would do something as crazy as check out his own masculinity but well, maybe it’s true never to
An hour later, Lucianda was coming out of her highly modern closet, completely dressed in a well tailored pant and flowery blouse that was complimented with full perfect makeup and her long auburn hair brushed to the side when she glanced up in surprise.Sitting calmly on her bed and watching her with an intense gaze is none other than her super handsome son, Julian. Though she was surprised to see him that early, a soft loving smile came to her lips and by the time she moved closer to the bed, the smile already spread to her eyes and it’s plain to see the motherly love shining bright in their brownish depth.“Julian, when did you come in?” She asked almost with a surprised laugh and her boy gave his little hands a clap while giggling in enjoyment knowing he got his mother just as he planned.“I knocked the door Mum and when there was no response, I took a wide guess that you’re probably under the shower so I decided to come in and wait for you.” He admitted casually with a wide grin
