Lucas Morris POV

I watched the cab pull away, then turned and strode toward my waiting car, frustration filling my body.

Before I got in, I slammed my hand hard on the hood, feeling a tightness in my chest.

I botched it again.

I really do not understand myself anymore. Why the animosity? Why do I keep riling her up when it was not really my intention?

I really need to clear things up with her.

With that resolve in mind, I started the engine and backed out of the parking lot, then I followed Luc

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 240. Was I Wrong?

    Lucas Morris POVThe kiss was originally meant to distract her, but when our lips touched, I was the one distracted. I got addicted.I forgot all about diverting her attention and began kissing her in earnest.I applied pressure to the kiss. I gave, and I took with my heart in it. Reason fled me that moment. All I wanted was to prolong the moment. The feeling was too intense, and I was powerless over it.To my delight, Lucy kissed me back. She matched my fervor with her own, and that was heady stuff. It made me forget everything. Just her and me.The kiss went on. I don’t know how long. I was focused on the feel of her lips, pliant, soft, and flavorful. She tasted mint and a hint of strawberry, and it was quite addictive. I pulled her closer, and alarm bells started pealing.I wanted to stop, but I couldn't. I wanted to savor this moment longer.A car’s honk forced us to part.When I pulled away, she stared blankly at me. She stared at me as if she did not know what hit her, and tha

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 239. Kissed Me. Again.

    Lucy Cole POVI pulled back, looking stunned. I could not believe that it happened again. We kissed. Lucas Morris and I kissed again. But instead of feeling lighthearted, I felt a disappointment crashing through me.“This shouldn’t happen,” I told Lucas Morris and started to walk away.I kissed another woman’s man. And what’s worse, that same woman was someone I considered a friend.I feel ashamed of myself for letting this happen for the second time.The first time was a mistake. The second time is intentional.I wanted it, too. I just could not shift the blame entirely onto Lucas.Then, I felt it. A hand gripping my arm, and turning me forcefully around to face him.“Why? Why shouldn’t it happen?” Lucas demanded.My brows furrowed. “What kind of question is that? What about Amee?” I don’t want to mention her name, but it was unavoidable at this point. I wanted to know answers, and I want them now.Lucas looked confused as a frown appeared on his face.“Amee? What about her?”I tried

Lucy Cole lives a quiet life. She does not socialize much.I spotted the cab she rode in earlier and cruised behind it, steady and slow, allowing the cab to set its pace.Then, when it stopped outside her apartment, I got out of my car. My steps were quick as I half-ran toward her.“Lucy!” I called out her name.I saw her body stiffen. Her shoulders lifted in time with her breathing. \And then, she turned around sharply, her eyes boring into mine.“What n

    Lucy Cole POVIt’s late, and I had just clocked out.Earlier, the boss gave me specific instructions to oversee the conversion of one of the building's floors into a daycare.I had heard what happened to the triplets at St. John Academy, so redecorating the rooms and making them child-safe and child-friendly was imperative.When the renovations had been completed that day, I ran back to my office to do some last-minute checklists, emails, and return calls.By the time I finished, all my co-workers had left, and I was the only one left on the executive floor.Immediately, I clocked out and went on my way, but at the exit, I ran into Lucas Morris. I ignored him since our last encounter was not something I could very well say was friendly. I would rather escape than have an encounter, even just to be polite.Lucas Morris was a rake in a suit. He does not know the word polite, even if it bites him in the face.“Ms. Cole, a moment, please.” He called out when I passed by him.But I did no

    Olivia Barnett POVI quickly dried my tears by wiping my cheeks and eyes with the back of my hand, and then I hunkered low, opened my arms wide, inviting the children to come to me.They did not need a second invitation. They ran to me.When they got into the semicircle I formed with my arms, I immediately closed the gap between my arms to embrace them.“Mommy! Are you hurt?” Leo asked worriedly. Then, his expression turned sharp when he gazed at his father.“Did you hurt our Mommy?” It was Zoe. She was the sweetest to her father, but this time, she eyed him with suspicion, too.I kissed their cheeks one by one and debunked their claim. “Children, your Daddy did not hurt me. I cried because I am happy.”Suspicion still laced Leo’s voice, but his body was no longer stiff with anger. The tension in him eased, too.“I am happy because I have all of you,” I assured him.“You never cried before when you said that to us. You are not just covering up for him, are you?”Josh sputtered. I am s

    Olivia Barnett POVI froze. I was sure I was staring awkwardly at him, but he didn't seem to mind. He just stood there while I gawked at him.It was becoming increasingly tense as seconds ticked by, and we were both immobilized.Is he confessing? Finally confessing? My head cried.I bit my lip when the children began to chant. “Daddy loves Mommy! Daddy loves Mommy!”My eyes grew wide, and I shushed them. They ignored me when their father joined them, encouraging them when he picked up their beat and began to chant alongside them.Emboldened, the children went chanting, adding claps and stomps to the rhythm, and in no time, they were dancing under Josh’s sup
