Her Husband's Rival: Lucianda's Revenge Chapter 7: The Compromise
Seeing that he must be one of those souls hard to convince once their minds are made up, Luci gave a loud sigh as they resumed their walk.Sam finally looked at her. “Are you sad again?” His brow was pinched worriedly.“Yes. I am sad because you don’t want to be my friend.” She told him as they entered the restaurant opposite the park.Following her to a table by the window, Sam was quiet as she gave their orders, but immediately the waitress left, he glanced at her.“I don’t mean to make you sad and I don’t mind being your little friend.” He told her.“Little friend? Aha aha, you are a big man, bro.” She told him playfully with a roll of her eyes.Sam laughed so joyously, the other diners turned to smile affectionately at them.“You are so funny, ma’am.” He said with another dose of laughter.“Okay, let’s compromise, Sam.” Luci told him with a serious face.He stopped laughing so suddenly it was as if a switch was put off.“Compromise?” He asked in a puzzled tone.“Yes. I really don’
Her Husband's Rival: Lucianda's Revenge Chapter 8: The Introduction
Dropping Lucianda’s hand as they got to a rickety door, Sam raised his hand to push the door, just as it opened. Lucianda really could not say who was the most surprised. Lucianda, Sam or the sick looking tiny woman facing them. Looking closely at her face, Lucianda saw it was so red it was not normal. Intuitively, she knew the woman had been crying. ‘For the husband that left her five years ago or for something else?’ Luci wondered with some surprise. “Oh Sammie, Sammie, why are you doing this to me? Do you know how tiredly I have walked round the area looking for you? I thought you had been kidnapped.” The woman finally explained the reason behind her tears as more water rolled down her eyes. Glad to know her tears had not been for that loser of a husband that left her, Lucianda nevertheless felt some guilt. She had monopolised Sammie’s time, therefore, the fault was hers. But before she could interject, Sammie ran to hug his mum. “I am sorry, mum, but I told you before, anyt

Working into the small cafe half an hour later, Lucianda went directly to the customer’s counter to ask of the boss.Laura was bringing out a tray of meals for a customer when her boss ran to her. He almost fell the tray she was holding in his eagerness to talk to her.“What are you doing, Laura?” He cried nervously.Wondering if the boss was trying to scold her for something she had done, Laura took a step backward. Her boss could sometimes be mean in his words and actions.“I was going to serve a customer, sir.” She answered quietly.“Serve a customer? But why?” He asked in a fearful tone.Wondering if her boss was having a fever, Laura answered slowly.“Because it’s my job?” She asked with a raised eyebrow.“Yea yea, your job but not when your sister is here to see you. It will not reflect well on us.” He was anxious as he took the tray from her lifeless fingers.“My sister is here?” Laura wanted to add, ‘But I don’t have a sister?’“Yes and she is waiting for you right now in the

It's sometimes necessary to pull weights…*****Seeing the man's hesitation and reading his mind clearly, Lucianda turned to Laura.“Laura? Did I tell you about the small businesses we crushed last year? Well, I am planning to take over some more. What do you think of this place? Think you don’t mind being the boss?” Lucianda asked carelessly.Catching up to Luci’s intention, Laura gave a small smile. “I will not want to work in this kind of place, Luci, even as a boss. But I guess we can auction it off.” Laura said.Listening to Laura’s suggestion, Luci almost laughed out loud. It seemed Laura was more wicked than she gave her credit for.‘Nice one Laura!’ Lucianda mentally applauded.‘Auction my place off? My long years of hard work?’ Visibly sweating, Collins did not need anyone to interpret their meanings, he slowly walked to the counter to get Laura a bottle of water.“What is this, Collins? Of course, I don’t want lukewarm water. Get me a chilled bottle.” Laura raised her voice
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

“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
