Just when she thoughts things couldn't get any worse after she had ended things with the first love of her life, disaster struck as Phoebe Scott found out she was pregnant with his child. Find out what becomes her fate when her path crosses with Lucas Reid, a man seeking revenge for past grudges.
Узнайте большеPhoebe Scott stood in the living room of the expensive mansion she’d become familiar with. Today was going to determine the fate of her future with Trevor Maddox. She checked the time for the umpteenth time, wondering if he would show up. He doesn't like her coming without notice.
She'd been in a relationship with him for the past four years. Although it was clearly stated in the contract she’d signed that she was needed for sex, which she had agreed to as she was in desperate need of money, it wasn't the case anymore. “What if he doesn't come?” she soliloquized, anxiety gripping her in a tight embrace. Her feet found their way to the wine collection rack where she poured herself a drink from one of the many bottles sitting there. She took a big gulp as she closed her eyes, savoring the sweet taste of the wine on her tongue. She wouldn't be enjoying such luxury if she hadn't met him. If she hadn't agreed to be his sex toy, she would probably still be in the streets finding the money to pay her father's huge heart surgery bills, their house rents, and even money for feeding. She owed Trevor her life, literally. Their first meeting happened to be the day her landlord kicked her out of the house, paying deaf ears to her helpless pleas. Trevor had been her prince in shining garments as he helped her pick her stuff up before driving her to this mansion which was his private property. After making her feel at home and she’d sobered up a bit, he asked about her story and after she was done with explaining her life ordeals, brought up an offer which she grabbed with both hands. “It was just for a year,” she had thought. “And he was a good-looking fellow. So without giving it any more thought, she scribbled her signature on the document. And Trevor never gave her any reason to regret her decision all through those years. He paid her father's hospital bills and also bought her a three-bedroom apartment. Since then, Phoebe became his secret slut, with them meeting at his secret mansion twice every week to have sex. She knew nothing about him other than the fact that he seemed to be from a rich background and was keeping her a secret. She never bothered anyway, as it was entirely business, and if the truth must be told, enjoyed every bit of the activity. Whenever they were in the heat of the moment, she felt like she was in heaven, with each deep thrust of Trevor sending waves of pleasurable sensations through her. He wasn't rough in bed and in fact, took his time to cherish every part of her body like she was the most expensive asset in his possession. It felt more like lovemaking than it was a hook-up. “I shouldn't have told him that over the phone,” Phoebe mumbled to herself. Just then she heard footsteps and instinctively, while thanking her stars that he'd showed up, walked in calculated steps towards the door. On the very first knock, she opened the door and was graced with the magnificent figure of him, looking as handsome and well-put-together as he’d always been. She hadn't noticed that it had been raining outside, if not for the few patches of water she saw on his suit. The look in his eyes was evidence of his foul mood and it made Phoebe involuntarily swallow saliva. Shifting to the side, she let him in as she braced up for what was to come. Phoebe shut the door behind him and walked with him into the living room. Trevor removed his suit jacket and threw it on the arm of one of the chairs. He did the same with his white T-shirt which made Phoebe avert her gaze. Even though she’d seen him naked a couple of times, she still felt shy when he casually did stuff like that. A hand pulled at her chin and soon her eyes were locked with the brown ones of Trevor. “What's up with the message?” Phoebe was taken aback by the tone of his voice which was a big contrast to the look he had on. She knew he was just trying to be cool. She opened her mouth to say something but her words betrayed her, a low sigh coming out in its place. Trevor's facial expressions softened as he watched her display, his initial anger dispersing into thin air. Without hesitation, he sealed his lips to hers. Since he’d risked coming here, without prior notice, why let the day go to waste? He was pissed with how she'd summoned him to meet her today for something urgent but now he didn't even care to know what it was. He couldn't deny that this woman was irresistible, the exact reason he had offered her the contract in the first place. He wasn't the type to give conditions before helping one in need, but the way her long and full lashes had fluttered in tears, with her lips trembling and her petite figure looking so calm, awakened a once limp member between his thighs. He always fancied having a sweetheart for the sole purpose of sex and has had a few in the past, but has never imposed the decision on anybody but Phoebe was different. Destiny threw her at his feet and he took it as a golden opportunity to strike his deal. She didn't return the kiss but it only urged him on as he deepened it, his huge hands circling her tiny waist. She moaned into his mouth but it did nothing more than fuel his already aroused self. Another light moan fell out of her lips and it made him smile into the kiss. They kissed for some time, their tongues battling like two wrestlers, for one that would dominate the other. With his lips still entwined with hers, he led her to the bedroom and soon they were a foot away from the king-sized bed. He made to remove the strings of her silk gown that exposed a fair amount of her breast when her hand held his in place. “Le_Let’s talk first, Trevor.” Her voice broke the silence of the room. There was a hint of uncertainty and urgency laced to it.A sigh escaped Lucas’ lips as he stood outside Ivan’s bedroom door, his hand resting on the polished doorframe. Soft blur lights illuminated the space, giving off a dreamlike vibe. Inside, Ivan lay curled up into a ball on his bed, his eyes shut rather too tightly for someone sleeping. It’d been four days now, and he still wouldn't talk to him. Phoebe had initially suggested he stay away for a while while she and Marcy talked to him but it seemed the little man had already made up his mind and remained unmoved, no matter what they said to him. Earlier that day, she’d finally given him her consent to talk to him. A painful pang hit his chest and he pulled himself into the room, taking deep breaths to pacify himself. Many times in the past, he’d thought and feared about this day, the day when Ivan would begin to ask questions. But he’d never imagined it to be done so soon. A frown marred his face as his thoughts drifted to his mother with him realizing that she was the one who had
Trevor’s nose picked up the scent of onions and seasoned stew as soon as he walked into the house. The door was left open just like always.“Hi Mom,” Trevor called out, even when he was sure she’d heard his car drive into the compound. “I’m in the kitchen,” Mrs. Maddox shot back from a distance, her voice echoing slightly.Nostalgia hit him as he dragged his feet through the familiar route to their kitchen, his heart tugging weirdly. Even though he hadn't wanted to visit her, he couldn't deny that he had missed her so much. They had been close and that was why it hurt him so much to know that his mother would rather fight for Mary even after he’d proven to her on countless occasions what kind of woman she was. When Trevor reached the kitchen, he found her standing beside the stove with a red apron tied around her waist. She looked up, gave him a tight-lipped smile, and immediately turned back to the pot. The scent of onions grew stronger, his brows jamming together. When was the la
“Trevor, It's Marcy. Listen…I don't have much time. You have to prepare yourself for the meeting. Three days from today,” Marcy’s electronic voice echoed through the room as soon as he picked up. Dropping the glass of scotch on the table, Trevor steadied the phone on his ear as he adjusted on his bed. His brows furrowed, the sharp edge of something ugly crawling into his expression. Was she being serious right now? He wondered inwardly as his face contorted more. Anger boiled within him and he shut his eyes, taking deep breaths to reduce how his chest tightened. It’d been a week since they’d decided to hire Liam to aid them in soiling Lucas’s and Phoebe’s marriage but all that while, Trevor hadn't heard anything from either her or Mrs. Cory. He’d tried their numbers to no avail and no day passed by without him thinking of a thousand things that must have gone wrong. More than a dozen times, he’d made mental notes to travel back to New York to see things for himself but he’d never
Time ticked between them and for a few minutes, Phoebe’s breath seized, her heart tightening and sending unbearable pain down her spine. Her weight suddenly felt too heavy for her legs to carry but somehow, she managed to face him, forcing a smile on her face. “Hey sweetie. You should be in bed by now,” She said, tucking a strand of her hair in place as she approached him. Ivan remained rooted in his position, his gaze fixed intently at Lucas while a frown marred his features. His eyes flicked to her, a lone tear gliding down his cheeks.Lucas sighed, running a hand through his now tousled hair as he approached the toddler but then, Ivan moved away, his hand grasping thin air instead. “Why were you shouting at my Mommy,” he asked a second time, glaring at Lucas. Tears brewed within him as his voice became unsteady, sounding both cracked and firm_protective. Her eyes met with Lucas and for a long time, neither of them said a word. Releasing a sigh, he crouched down in front of the
Phoebe squinted her eyes as she walked towards him and slowly, a smile formed on her lips as recognition hit her. “Wait…you’re the guy from the store. My fan who….” “Bumped into you and almost un_alived you,” Liam interrupted, smiling awkwardly. “Yeah, that guy.” She laughed, her eyes darting towards the car to see there was no real damage, just a scratch. But then, a small crease tainted her features. “Just like I almost did now.” “We’ll both live. It’s nothing serious. “Looks like your car loves mine so much,” he added, laughing at his own jokes as he pushed his hair away from his face. She chuckled. A minute passed between them as Phoebe took in his appearance. His hair, unlike the last time she saw him was tousled like he’d ran a hand through it countless times, giving off a causal vibe. He was also dressed in a plain white T shirt and tailored black slacks. Does he know about the picture? She wondered as she parted her lips, wanting to ask but no words came out. On sec
The door opened before his hands could reach it, revealing Stella, the maid who his mother had sent to drug Phoebe. She wore her usual navy blue uniform, her blonde hair pulled back into a tight bun. As soon as her eyes landed on him, they lit up with recognition and something close to guilt. “Mr. Lucas_”Lucas brushed past her without saying any word. He felt her eyes drill holes in his back but he kept on walking, the hallway quieter than he could remember. The echos of his step filled the hall like a voice too loud in a cave. The parlour door was open and his eyes caught his mother’s figure seated on her favorite one sitter, a book open in her lap, but she wasn’t reading it. Her blue orbs had already locked his. “Lucas,” She called, her eyes sparkling with an emotion he couldn’t explain. “Mom.”For a minute or two, none of them spoke as the sounds of maids working in the kitchen broke the silence. Lucas exhaled a breath as he walked slowly across the room, stopping by the fram
