Please drop your opinions concerning Lucianda and Hakeem🙂
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
Shocked to see his Mum’s pitiful loud tears, Julian jumped from the bed to embrace his Mum fully. But it seems his Mum was finally ready to let go as she gave way to all the pains she has kept inside all these while.Knowing that he was the reason she was now revealing her softer weak side, Julian knew his Mum needed the release so he allowed her to cry all she want while making sure his little hands were on her back doing the comforting thing.“Oh Mum, you’re going to be sick, please stop.” He finally called softly to her when it seems she will go on and on. Passing another mold of paper towel to her, he tried to raise her head from his shoulder to look into her eyes and what he saw had him whistling hard.“Uh-uh oh, no wonder you don’t mind crying. You’re one of those beautiful creatures even when crying buckets.” With a surprised look at his Mum, he tapped his cheeks repeatedly while giving her a considering look and not expecting those reactions, Luci gave him an askance look as t
Thirty something minutes later, they all sat down to breakfast at the dining which was set by the young Sammie and Julian.Taking a bite into her mouth with her fork, Lucianda almost wheezed painfully as she tried to swallow what she had in her mouth. Knowing it’s next to impossible, she quickly grabbed for her glass of juice to aid in pushing it down her throat.Unfortunately, the attentive woman sitting in front of her had been watching her reaction ever since she grabbed her cutleries.Lucianda tried to laugh it off but she she knew she failed when her eyes only watered the more and the woman watching every flow of expression on her face winced and then grimaced almost at the same time.“It’s bad isn’t it?” Laura murmured with a shame faced expression and Luci almost cursed herself for her carelessness. Of course she should have known the other woman will be watchful and should have been more careful.“Hmm no, I just think it’s more salty than I’m used to which means it’s my fault.
Walking down the stairs, she noticed one of the servants doing their general evening cleaning and she quickly left a message for Laura and the boys. She had informed them earlier that she would be going out but she needed them to know they are free to make other plans without her if she isn’t back at the expected time.Taking a deep breath, she walked out just as the last trace of sun gave way to darkness and just when she wanted to growl with irritation, she noticed the silently parked car by the side and she realised that contrary to what she thought, the taxi she ordered for wasn’t late. She is the one that can be considered to be a few minutes late and from what she could see, the meter was already running.Glad that she wouldn’t be made to wait, she walked to the waiting car and seeing from his reaview mirror the expensively glamorous woman walking towards him, the driver quickly came down from the car to open the back door for her and it was only when he saw to her comfort that
