Stuck between the billionaires Chapter twenty-nine
Lucas hurried back to his room, banging the door as soon as he entered, as his mind registered the pain he felt. He walked to the mirror and squeezed his face at the ugly view, her teeth mark gazing back at him. How dare she do that to him?” he wondered as he rubbed on it. Adam came in minutes later with the items he had asked for, dropping them on the bed beside him. “It's very deep, don't you think seeing the doctor would be a much better idea?” he asked as he picked up the plaster, volunteering to help his boss but Lucas snatched it away from him, before averting his gaze wordlessly. For one thing, he was aware Adam knew how he'd ended up with the injury as her teeth had left very obvious marks. He was already more than ashamed of him(Adam) knowing about it, to let another eye see it. He knew he needed medical attention, but he couldn't get another person to see him in that condition. “More like to check if it had been infected,” Adam continued, worry etched on his face. But

Lucas’s face squeezed in distaste as soon as he closed the door. He stood rooted at his position, as his heart began thumping hard against his chest, threatening to break out of his chest and render him lifeless. Nostalgia hit him as he stared down the stairs, feeling the exact way he’d felt seven years ago. What was she doing in his house? He wondered as he forced himself to move, his legs suddenly feeling like rocks had been tied to them and a magnet propelled them backward. As much as a second thought asked that he order Adam to throw her out of the house, a second part of him wanted to at least see her face, and hear what she had to say. Resisting the urge to run away from his past, he walked down the stairs. His eyes quickly locked with the blue ones of the blonde he’d once loved with his whole life. But instead of the usual sparkle they held at the sight of her, was replaced with spite and anger. Memories flashed through his mind as he watched her stand from the couch, his g

Phoebe stared at the door in disbelief, as she wondered if she was in some kind of dream. Did he just ask that she abort her child? All for what? Just to prove to him that she wasn’t working together with Trevor. He must be out of his mind. She thought as she got up from the bed and went to the bathroom for a quick leak. But on returning, her mind diverted to the woman who Adam had made mention of. She was grateful to her for coming at the right time and stealing his attention, as she had no idea what he would have done next if he hadn't been interrupted. She wasn't clueless as to who she was as the way Lucas's face changed at the mention of her name said it all. She was about to climb back onto her bed, but curiosity took the better part of her as she quietly opened the door to eavesdrop on Lucas’s conversation. She couldn’t hear everything they said from the top of the stairs but with the woman on the floor and Lucas towering above her, had her wanting to know more. Walking as

“Hey, stop,” She could hear Adam’s voice behind, as he followed her in a hot pursuit. It only made her increase her pace, running like her whole life depended on it. “It technically does,” her subconscious reminded. Her legs were beginning to hurt and to make matters worse, she had no idea of where she was at the moment or where she was running to. She would think about that later. The most important thing was that she got away from here, she would think of the next step once she was in a safer place. As she ran, her mind wondered where his bodyguards might have gone, as she hadn't seen any of them with only Adam chasing her, but she brushed it off as the universe working in her favor. “Thank God,” she said as she sighted a busy street ahead with people walking to and fro, minding their business. She looked back to see that Adam was still pursuing her but he had reduced in his pace. She apologized inwardly for stressing him as she soon got lost in the crowd. She stared back

Phoebe glanced up to see that it was the elderly woman who was seated beside her, her brows knitting in confusion as she wondered why she was helping her. The owner of the restaurant paused in his speech as her eyes darted to the old woman in surprise. She must've thought it not to be her business, as she asked her waitress the amount Phoebe owed. “It's 20 dollars.” And like that, the woman paid the bill. Phoebe mumbled a ‘thanks’ to the woman but she waved it off. “It's nothing,” she said as she began to pack her stuff into a black bag. After she was done, surprised to still find Phoebe there, she asked. “Don’t you have anywhere to stay? You can come with me.” Phoebe was surprised at her question, wondering if she had heard right. Was she asking that she, a stranger follow her to her house? But she didn't voice her opinion, as she nodded slowly. “I stay alone, you can come stay for a while till you find a place for yourself,” the woman offered to Phoebe’s utmost surpri

After she was done explaining her story, Mrs. Gladys exhaled a breath as she caressed Phoebe’s hand. “It's fine now. You are safe now.” “You know,” she continued, staring at her kitchen counter, “I have a daughter…had…God bless her soul, She died last year in a car accident leaving me to cater for these beautiful cats. She loved them so much,” A smile clouded her exterior as she pointed at the cats that lay lazily on the floor. “I'm sorry about that,” Phoebe apologized, unsure about why she was telling her life history. “It's okay.” “Just like the baby you are carrying now, I never planned for her. The father, my high school boyfriend disappeared on figuring out that I was pregnant. After searching fruitlessly for him for months, I finally gave up. I resented my unborn child for its father’s mistake, each morning sickness, and every throw-up only added to my resentment. But that child happened to be the reason I am alive today.” “What I am trying to say is, that child in your

Once inside the cab, she fished out her phone from her purse and dialed her friend’s number. It rang for some time before she picked up, her cheeky voice sailing through the speakers. “Hey, Pheebs. I called early but Gladys said you were still in bed. Your father, he'd wanted to have a word with you.” “Okay, I woke up late. How is he doing?” “You know how he can be sometimes. He grumbled for a while after I had told him he couldn't speak to you before he slept. I am currently at work now, I would check with him in the evening once I sign out of work. “Annie, I want to thank you for how you have been taking care of him since my absence. I really…..” “Don’t even start now. He's my father too and I am just doing what a daughter should. I don't need to start reminding you of all the favors he's done for me,” Annie interrupted, her cheeky tone becoming somewhat serious. “Forget about us, how are you doing? Hope you are recovering from the trauma that the sick human being had put

His head ached, and he felt like thirty children were jumping on it like they did a trampoline. Ruffling himself up from the bed, he groaned loudly as he grabbed the corners of his head in an attempt to prevent it from splitting into two. He hardly drinks as he knew the effect would be too much for him to bear but for the past month, he had been leaving on alcohol as if it was food and needed for survival. Lucas dragged himself out of the bed and into the bathroom, where he splashed water in his face. As he raised his head, he caught sight of his reflection in the mirror, his lips curling up in a a half smile. “Who would believe that it was him, the almighty billionaire and CEO of the Reid group of companies, in the mirror looking so unkempt and disheveled? He wondered as he stared at the pale-looking man, whose hair had grown some extra inches from their normal length, and beards reeked of alcohol. But he had no doubt that was him as her been in that exact state seven years ago.

Phoebe’s features curled up in a smile as she read the text message aloud for the umpteenth time. “Get ready, princess. I have a surprise for you,” she read, trying to mimic Lucas’ baritone voice. Tearing open the package he’d sent her, her gaze fell on a blue sundress that was adorned with sparkly stones. She picked it up and tilted her head to the side, wanting to get a better view of it. The gown had a slit that went up to the middle thigh and had only one hand. Also in the shopping bag was a black six-inch heels and also a black purse to go with it. Without bothering to take her shower first, she hurriedly put the dress on, the little stones glistening as she moped at herself in the mirror. Her smile widened as she glanced at the sophisticated and elegant-looking woman in the mirror. In the last five years, she has changed a lot. Lucas made sure she looked like the women she saw in the social class, as he ravished her with expensive gifts all the time. And her body had al

“That's nonsense. My grandson deserves to be spoiled silly. He would get everything he wants and a lot of it,” Mrs. Cory interjected as her gaze fell on the toddler who’d suddenly lost appetite for his food as he played with his new toy. “Lucas’s heir deserves the whole world.” she stated. Phoebe gulped involuntarily as she widened her smile, Lucas’s grip on her loosened a bit. Planting a kiss on Ivan’s forehead, Mrs. Cory pulled a chair and sat down. Marcy proceeded to dish her a plate of the meal. “How are you doing, my dear.” She addressed Phoebe, her eyes giving her a thorough scan. Lucas was done with his meal so he stood up and announced his exit. After he'd exchanged more playful jokes with his mother, he walked over to Ivan who’d refused to eat to take him to school. “I want to play some more,” Ivan sulked as tears welled his eyes. He suddenly didn't want to go to school anymore. “Don’t cry. What did I tell you the last time?” “Big boys don’t cry,” Ivan comp

Looking at her toddler now, a smile curled her lips as she recalled all that had happened. He was a great child. When everyone thought she was going to lose the child, when the doctor advised her to get rid of the child or risk dying herself as her sac had been torn by the knife, she refused, finally seeing the reasons why her mother had also refused. A mother couldn’t just let go of her child and even though it was a stupid thing to do, considering what was at stake, she had bluntly refused. Her little bundle of joy fought right from her womb, he fought to live and in the end, he won. They both did. It turned out that after Phoebe left the house to meet with Ella, Marcy immediately called Annie and Lucas against Phoebe’s wish, explaining everything that happened to them. Lucas had been so furious that he went in the company of Annie to the police station where he had half a dozen men assigned to him by the chief of police to accompany him to the said place. She'd been unconscious f

Phoebe walked into the little lighted room alone, her heart thumping erratically in her chest. The more step she took forward was the more she felt like she was delving deeper into a lion’s den. A part of her kept screaming that she turned back or better still, called Lucas and let him know where she was but the image her mind conjured up was too disturbing to be ignored, making her push the thoughts aside while hastening her movement. It was an image of Gladys lying in the pool of her blood, Ella above her with the psychotic smile glued to her face as she licked the bloody knife. Her grip on the kitchen knife tightened as she glanced around the warehouse which smelled of dust, expecting Ella to spring out any minute. She could feel her gaze on her, shooting arrows at her and wishing her to be dead but the light didn't allow her to see anything as the whole place was dark, least for a little light that stole its way in through a window. “Look who we have here,” Ella’s voice echoed

“I warned you to steer clear of him but you went ahead to open your legs like the slut that you are,” Ella hissed as she glared at her through the phone, the hatred and spite very obvious in her stares. “Ella, I am the one you want. Let the woman be, she has nothing to do with this.” Phoebe pleaded calmly, not wanting to give her the satisfaction of knowing the way her heart jumped in fright as she watched Ella play with the knife around Gladys’ neck. Even though Ella's face was expressionless and did nothing to scare her no matter how hard she tried to broaden her grin, Phoebe knew that she was capable of anything and wouldn't think twice to slit Gladys’ throat. She needed to tread carefully. “Lucas said you guys were done, he said you were in his past and…” “Shut up!” Ella yelled at the top of her voice, interrupting Phoebe who shook unconsciously. Ella’s once expressionless face changed into that of one who was ready to kill at the slightest opportunity. “Lucas is mine. H

****Five years later**** “Ivan?” Phoebe called out as she walked into the room. It was seven o'clock in the morning, the sun was up and waited eagerly to begin a new day. As she caught sight of the little human who mumbled inaudible words in his sleep, a smile curled up her lips. Walking over to him, she turned off the lamp which still dimmed in a soft glow. Ivan was scared of the dark so they always left the lamp on for him at night. She tapped on him lightly, watching as his mouth formed a little pout and he squeezed his face in his sleep. Her smile widened, Phoebe sat at the edge of the bed and stared down at her son, who was the spitting image of his father, Trevor. Same hair, same intense gaze, you could as well say that Trevor had vomited him. The only feature he’d taken after her was her eye color, every other part of him screamed Trevor, making it hard for her to forget about him. Whenever she looked at her son, her mind diverted to Trevor, as she wondered what he was up

“Good day ladies, hope I didn't disturb your little party?” Lucas joked as he walked towards them in calculated strides. He was putting on a black suit with a white shirt underneath. His neck button was left undone and the tie he'd worn out that morning was nowhere in sight. The imperfection of his ruffled shirt as he took the suit off only added to the vibe as it exuded masculinity that was hard to resist. Phoebe peeked at her friend to catch a glimpse of her expression at seeing him for the first time and was delighted with the way she stared with mouth agape, the spoon she'd wanted to put in her mouth raised to the air. A smile stole her features as she looked back at him, proud of how his presence alone captured the attention of everyone. Lucas was a man of power who didn't need to say a word as his loud aura did the talking for him, leaving anyone who beheld him stuck in admiration. She was sure her friend would come to love him soon. Lucas’s gaze surveyed the space, pausing

Annie’s mouth formed a perfect ‘O’ as she looked around her surrounding in awe before bringing her gaze back to her, this time her eyes didn’t miss her protruding belly. She swallowed back the countless questions that she wanted to ask at the same time and flashed Phoebe a smile instead. “How I have missed you,” Annie said as she pulled Phoebe into a hug, her eyes meeting Marcy who was beaming with smiles as she watched them. “Not as much as I did? How is he,” “Getting better. Insisted on coming down with me but the doctor says it's not advisable. Lurk’s staying with him.” Lurk was Annie’s younger brother who had just recently finished college. Phoebe shot her a grateful look, as she wondered what she would have done without her. “Look at this place, it suddenly feels like I died and went to heaven,” “We both know you will be going the other way and not heaven if you die,” Phoebe teased, as she shifted from the door to let Annie in before she closed it behind her, watching as A

After Lucas had dressed and gone to work, Phoebe went back to her room and began her morning routine. She brushed her teeth, recalling how Lucas had kissed her even with her morning breath, the thought made goosebumps spring out of her arm. She went to the bathroom for a quick shower and while she was at it, her phone rang. She hurriedly took her shower before coming out to check who had called. She opened the notification and on seeing that it was her friend, Annie, she dialed her number but it was busy. As soon as she ended the call, Annie returned the call. “Hello girl,” Phoebe squealed as she put the phone on loudspeakers before dropping it on the bed. She walked to her closet where she began searching for clothes to wear. “Sorry I didn’t pick up the first time you called, I was in the bathroom,” she apologized, as she raised a blue gown to to her eye level but kept it back almost immediately. “It’s alright, I just dropped off at the airport. What is the address again?” Annie'
