"I know Alex very well Lucy. His mother used to be my good friend. When the tragic incident occurred, I left this city and came back only few years later. I'm just so surprised he's the one you got married to" Mrs. Hayes' words resounded clearly in Lucy's mind as she stood by the roadside for a cabHer words got her thinking. Because it didn't sound so clear to her. Her reaction tells something more than what she told her. She couldn’t have possibly acted that way simply because Alex is her good friend's son, right?She looked very nervous, like as if a serious tragedy was about to befall herSomething about Mrs. Hayes reaction to Alex's name looked suspicious. And the fact that she refused to explain any further made Lucy feel a bit anxious. But she just helped the woman back to her room and left without bothering her with so much questions. Maybe she’ll find time to talk about that with her againLucy got a cab and headed back home after sometime. On the way, her phone started ringi
Lucy alighted in front of a restaurant and looked around for Mia. It was De Shallot eatery, a place they often used to have lunch four years agoThe place looked a bit different to her, because for all these past four years she has never stepped a foot thereMia said she would be waiting for her in front of the restaurant, but she was nowhere to be found. Lucy took her phone to dialed her number again. But just as it started ringing, someone hugged her from behindTurning to face the person Lucy saw it was Mia and quickly jumped into her embrace. They hugged each other tightly for a while without saying anything. They had missed each other so much, and it felt like they weren’t still getting enough of each other even after hugging for over five minutes"I really miss you a lot Lucy. I miss you so much!" Mia exclaimed happily after pulling out of Lucy's embrace"I miss you too. Let's go and have some spicy chicken" Lucy smiled and went into the restaurant with Mia. They ordered for som
Alex parked the car quickly and run towards where Lucy was lying without wasting another second. He saw Lucy's helpless state, and felt like a part of his heart had been pierced with a sharp daggerAlex didn’t know why he got that feeling. He just couldn’t control it and felt like it was taking the whole of himHe knelt down beside her in the rain, and lifted her up without any effort. The guards wanted to tell him they had been ordered not to allow her get into the house, but they couldn’t dareAlex had the most dangerous look ever on his face. He looked like he could tear people into pieces within the minimum seconds and this made the guards shudder with so much fearWithout wasting another second, Alex quickly moved to the door and tried to push it open but it didn’t. After ringing the doorbell a few times, Vanessa finally showed up"What...." Vanessa's words froze in the air after spotting the person at the door. She thought it was Lucy, but it turned out to be her brother instead
Alex walked into the bathroom and filled the bathtub with warm water. After that he came back to the room and picked Lucy up in his armsHe had taken off the wet clothes, leaving only her netted underwear and braAlex tried his possible best not to look at Lucy's body. He kept on a serious face, and shook all thoughts of her out of his mindHe's just going to help her have a warm shower and nothing else. After getting into the bathroom, he gently placed Lucy into the bathtub and went back to the room. He moved up and down, trying to think of somethingHe tried his possible best not to get any desires. But....Alex hit the bed with his leg several times. He couldn’t understand why he was going through all those changesHe made so many promises to himself, but now so many things are happening without his knowledge. He lowered his eyes hesitantly to stare at his already erected man and sighed out helplesslyWhat he was afraid of is the same thing that has happened right now. Now how do
The next day...."Lucy..."Lucy heard her name being called several times, but it felt like they were sounds coming afarLucy slowly opened her eyes and blinked profusely. She turned her eyes to where the sound was coming from and saw a familiar figure sitting beside herIt was Bella. And she kept on calling out her name with her eyes fixed elsewhere. She hadn’t notice yet that she was awakeLucy tried calling out her name, but her voice didn’t seem to be audible enough to Bella’s hearing. Not knowing what else to do, Lucy slowly helped herself to sit up on the bed which subconsciously drew Bella’s attention finally“Lucy! you’re awake? Thank God finally” Bella exclaimed excitedly and helped Lucy to sit up on the bed properly“Here, have some water” She quickly offered and said to the house help “Nelia please get her some soup. And... inform Alex his wife is awake now”“Yes ma’am” Nelia nodded politely and walked out“You really scared all of us Lucy. Why did you have to be in such a
The next day…Lucy opened her eyes quite early. She searched the room by her eyes and found Alex standing in front of the mirror. He was buttoning his shirt and whistling at the same timeLucy felt amazed by this new side of Alex. They’ve been staying together for almost a week now, and she has never seen him whistle early in the morning like thisHis face also looked very calm and cheerful. And he seemed to be in a very good mood or something like thatLast night Lucy thought he would show up to check on her after Bella sent Nelia to go and inform him she had woken up, but he didn’t show up until she fell asleep. She didn’t even realize the time he had come back into the roomLucy folded her blanket and kept it in the wardrobe. After that she went straight to the bathroom and took a quick shower. When she came back into the room, she saw Alex heading outside and quickly called “Alex…”Alex stood still for a while and slowly turned to face Lucy with raised brows “hmm?..”“Ahh… it’s Lo
Jeffery spotted Lucy and Bella standing and decided to pass by to say hello. Collins had gone to speak with Lora’s father with his parentsBella stood without any expression on her face. She was confused as to whether Jeffery is the groom or the other guyShe just met him yesterday. And today he’s getting married?This shouldn’t have been a problem to her. But somehow it got her restless. She just wished Jeffery wasn’t the groom as she was thinkingWhile at the same time, Lucy also stood with surprise. Thinking Jeffery is Lora’s groom and not Collins. Because the Lora she knows will never agree to marry Collins knowing he’s her ex-boyfriend“Hi Bella, I’m glad we’ve met again” Jeffery smiled politely at Bella and spoke“Yeah…you’re getting married?” Bella stammered hesitantly“No. It’s my brother’s wedding” Jeffery replied with the corner of his eyes fixed on Lucy’s faceHe had never imagined Lucy would show up at her ex-boyfriend’s wedding. And he thought possibly she came only becau
“Are you out of your mind? You want us to run away after getting married to my sister?” Lucy frowned deeply and asked in a voice full of disgust“I never wanted to go ahead with this marriage. But you left me with no other option” Collins made a step forward and tried to touch Lucy with tears in his eyesThe desperation in his eyes made Lucy a bit confused. Because she never asked Collins for a break upEven though he cheated on her once, she still forgave him and decided to give him another chance because of the love she had for himBut one day she received a message from him, saying he didn’t want to go on with this relationship anymore.
