Lucas paced up and down his room, his palms caressing his temples as he delved deep in thought.

As if he was being controlled by some unseen force, he ended his movement abruptly, his head perking up as he stared towards the nightstand.

Exhaling, he began to walk towards his nightstand where he picked up his phone that was lying there. Scrolling through the lists of contacts saved to his phone, he paused as his thumb danced above a name.

Convincing himself that he was making the right choices and that his actions wouldn’t be misinterpreted, Lucas dialed the number. His heart thumped against his chest the more the phone rang, and he felt the strong urge to end the call. Just as he was about to do that, the call connected, her voice sailing through the speakers.

“Took you long enough, handsome,” A frown marred his face on hearing the cheerfulness in her voice. What gave her the audacity to be happy? What right does she have to happiness, after what she’d done to him?

  • Stuck between the billionaires   Chapter hundred and ten

    “Did the frog prince later marry the girl?” Ivan asked as he bit hard on his bottom lip. His eyes widened, and he stared at Phoebe, who had read him a story. It was a very hectic Saturday. After Lucas left for work that morning, Phoebe spent the morning rehearsing for her upcoming music record as the first one had blown up in a matter of minutes. Mr. Steve said it was better if she dropped music back to back to gain recognition in the industry and so far, it has been going well, just as planned. She’d also done a two-hour vocal session with her voice teacher and since Marcy had taken the day off to see her parents, she was the one to cook, clean, and get Ivan dressed for the day. She'd just finished with that and decided to read him a story to pass the time. Smiling at her toddler who looked a little tense as he waited for her answer, his eyes popping out from their sockets like saucers, Phoebe couldn't help but be quickly reminded about Trevor. Ever since she pleaded with him

    A series of thoughts flashed through Trevor’s mind as he pulled Indigo alongside him towards his mansion, anger burning within him. But somehow, he wasn’t sure who his anger should be targeted at….himself or his driver. How could such a thing happen beneath his nose and in his own house without his knowledge? Trevor’s frown deepened as he thought of a befitting punishment for Jeffrey. He was going to teach the foolish boy a lesson, one he wouldn’t be able to forget in a hurry. Exhaling a breath, Trevor tried to steady his banging heart but then he noticed how her hand trembled in his. Looking at her, images of her face from minutes ago clouded his mind and a gulp worked its way down his throat. She was a goddess…Literally. Pushing thoughts about her aside, Trevor took her into his house but just as he made to ascend the stairs, she restrained her movement. Turning to face her, his brows raised slightly in a small frown but Indigo averted her gaze. “Sir…It’s late. Where are you tak

    A devious smile clouded Trevor’s features as he ended the call, casually walking to his closet and getting dressed in comfortable clothing. Even though that wasn't the news he had expected, he was happy that a plan was in progress. Mary just called to inform him that the trio were back from their vacation and their plan would kickstart the following day. Trevor wasn't entirely comfortable with the plan as he wanted to be an active character rather than some backstage viewer. He’d wanted to be the lead but Mary was able to convince him otherwise. Knowing that it was hard for him to give off his child easily, Lucas would always have his guard up around him but he would be more unsuspecting of March who was a mere servant and in their eyes, harmless. Moreover, she was living together with them and knew more about their lifestyle amongst other valuable information that would be useful to them. Very soon, both Phoebe and Ivan would be back where they truly belonged: in his mansion and h

    Warmth spread through Lucas as he listened to her confessions; the fact that she trusted him filled him with joy. Leaning towards her, he sealed his lips with hers in a rushed kiss, his hands cupping her face like she was the most fragile thing to exist. “I would love and protect you for the rest of my life,” Lucas promised as he stared deep into her eyes, his heart swelling with joy as her eyes gleamed in delight. For a moment, they remained that way, staring deep into each other’s eyes and searching for hidden promises, ones that their lips were unable to utter. “You mean the world to me, Phoebe.” “And I would love you too, husband.” Phoebe broke the silence as she kissed him, but then, Lucas moved away from her, causing her to groan in protest. A growl tore from Lucas' lips as he restrained himself from kissing her, moving away from the bed instead. Phoebe tugged at her wrist, her brows knitting slightly as she raised her brows at him but he only chuckled in reply. He proceeded

    Annie furrowed her brows as her mind drifted into thoughts. Most of what Trevor said made sense. For one thing, Lucas has been nothing but a jerk to Phoebe and even though Phoebe claims to be alright whenever she asks, Annie found it hard to believe. There was this aura about Lucas that was repulsive. This thing about his gaze which was out of the ordinary….animalistic. He seemed to be a sadist. And knowing who Phoebe was, it wouldn’t be a surprise to learn she was suffering abuse and was keeping it a secret. She was a sweetheart and all it would take would be for him to say the right words and she’d be right there at his feet. Staring at Trevor, Annie was thrown into confusion. Even though he wasn’t the best candidate either, he seemed much better. Gentle, easy-going, and loving, the best contrast to Lucas. Moreover, he was also Ivan’s biological father. A dozen times, she asked Phoebe if she wanted to keep that secret for the rest of her life and it seems that was exactly what

    The next morning, Trevor took the first flight to New York, with his plans fully mapped out and ready to kickstart. After a series of thoughts, Trevor found out that becoming friends with Lucas wasn’t a bad idea after all as that way, he could easily get access to his home. All he needed to do was play along for a while and once the prey becomes unsuspecting, he strikes. A smile crept up his face and tugged at his lips as he relived the plans he had mapped out. It would only take a matter of time before Phoebe would be back to being his. And Ivan too. As much as he wanted to blurt out to Ivan that he was his biological father, he had to be reasonable…well, not like he hadn’t tried before. He knows that the child would only believe whatever his mother tells him and so, he needed to win Phoebe over and make her fall head over heels in love with him first, and she’d be the one screaming to the whole world that she was his. ****Trevor’s mind drifted to earlier that morning.**** As Tr
