"Juliet!" Her parents wail in heavy breaths at what just happened and place their hands over their mouths. They scramble to Lucien with eyes so gloomy that he would have dropped dead if they happened to be revolvers. Her dad jerks away Juliet from his grip without an utterance and glares at him.
The brows of the attendees rise as they stare keenly to know what will happen next so that they can have something to murmur about.
"I mean no harm, Mr. Santiago. I just came to take back what rightfully belongs to me." Lucien says and smiles up at him not flinching a bit even though he could see how gravely they are glaring at him.
If there's one thing he's learned over the years in the training ground that'll be to never be afraid of anything confronting him cause there'll always be a way out.
Mr. Santiago as he called him stares at him from head to toe and strolls out with Juliet in his arms without saying anything or even acting like he could see anyone.
"You caused this asshole!" Mr. Santiago's wife, Mrs. Avery screeches at him and begins hitting him on the chest. "You wretched fool! You good for nothing! Leave my daughter alone! Get away as you did before! Leave! We hate you! You reek of poverty sod! Just go! Shuu!" She curses him hoping to get a reaction from him but to her amazement and utmost disbelief he pats her on the shoulders and pecks her on the cheek.
"Not even you can stop me from taking back what belongs to me." He breathes into her ear and stomps out trailing after Mr. Santiago who was about to walk out the door.
Mrs. Avery's heartbeat intensifies and she takes steps backward. Her mouth drops open and beads of sweat appear all over her.
The hairs on her body all stand erect as if sculptures and sudden goosebumps pool through her sending chills down her spine as she freezes at the spot and stares wide-eyed watching him leave without knowing what to say or do. The very first time she felt tight-lipped and as well blank.
She wipes her eyes when she gets back herself and turns to the attendees to discover that they are as surprised as she is and just that makes her relax a bit.
"This wedding is hereby canceled till further notice! A new date will be announced by the priest shortly! I'm so sorry for the inconvenience. I'm deeply sorry!"
She covers her face with her hands, bows her head, and without waiting for their reply scurries out.
"Mrs. Avery!" Brooks yells and rushes out using that as an escape to get away from the numerous glances of the people on him.
"You heard her precious attendees! You all should head home now!" The young priest announces, makes a quick cross sign for him and all, and gently strolls out paying deaf ears to their babbles.
Hisses, murmurings, and sighs echo over the nave as the attendees leave the church one after the other all to his or her own thoughts.
Mr. Santiago, who was about to open his car front door after dropping Juliet in the back feels a presence behind him and halts his movement. He turns and his face stretches into a deep frown seeing who was trailing after him and he clenches his fist. "Stop following me, Lucien!" He barks and stamps his foot.
"It's a pleasing feeling to know that you know my name, Mr. Santiago. But it's even more pleasing hearing you call it. Please open the back door, I'll love to join you so that we can take my beloved to the hospital."
Mr. Santiago chuckles and curls his brows at him. "I only thought you were wretched, I never knew you'd gone mad too. The day you realize that my sweet flashy daughter can never be with a wretched fellow like you the better for you. Go get a life dude. You sting. Gosh!"
Lucien chuckles and covers the remaining space between them. He stares deeply into his eyes for a while and pushes his head close to his left ear.
"Even the being above can't stop me from taking what is rightfully mine Mr. Santiago, who then do you think you're to stop me? You've done it once. And to be honest that will never happen again. Try me and you will know what I'm capable of doing." He smiles and pats him on the shoulder. "Be a good man. And you will forever cherish the fact that I'm your..."
The rest of his words get stuck in his throat as deafening slap dismounts on his right cheek. "You should have done more than that Mrs. Avery" he mumbles without even catching a glimpse of her because he had felt her presence behind him earlier when he was trailing after Mr. Santiago and knows she's been standing behind him all this while.
"You will receive more than that the next time you talk to my husband that way! And note, my daughter can never be yours! Get that into your empty skull! Moreover, she already has a guy ten times better than you. A guy that you can never be even in your next life! You might have successfully stopped the wedding today but I promise you that Juliet will surely get married to him!" She barks while pointing and glaring at him.
"I think you should get angry medications for your wife Mr. Santiago. And please also make her know that she shouldn't make promises that she can't fulfill."
Mr. Santiago and Mrs. Avery's mouths drop open and they unknowingly shiver.
"I'll take care of you when I'm back. Right now I need to take my daughter to the hospital." Mr. Santiago mutters, turns, and enters his car but not without glaring at him.
"Are you leaving without me?" Lucien grins at him and waves at Mrs. Avery to join her husband. She hisses at him but still does what he said anyway and that makes him burst out in a round of enormous laughter.
"He's crazy. I can see that now" Mrs. Avery whispers to her husband. "We need to send his wretched ass to where it belongs," she smirks.
As Lucien and Juliet walk through the door, into their room, Juliet bolts the door. The next second, she drops her nightgown.Lucien is backing her as he is trying to rid his body of his clothes. So, he is oblivious to this.Taking that as an opportunity, Juliet slowly frees herself of her panties and bra, standing in all her glory. It doesn't take long for her cheeks to flush red. For more than an hour now, she has been so aroused.Her mind couldn't stop flashing in her eyes what she and Lucien were doing before they noticed Brianna. The images got her so aroused. At a point, she began feeling helpless. In the space of two or three hours, she freshened up more than twelve times. Each time the urge was so much, she would rush into the bathroom and pour water on her body so she can calm down.But Lucien is here now. She doesn't know if she can wait any longer. No, she doesn't think she can. She slowly walks up to him at the same time Lucien is removing his pants and hugs him from behi
The ride to Dragon bay is a quick one as in the blink of an eye, the chauffeur pulls over in front of the gigantic gate, which appears to be glowing in the dark, making everywhere look so breathtaking."Wow," Brianna gasps whilst shivering in excitement. As soon as Lucien alights, she quickly follows him. But Lucien halts, causing her to groan. Her curiosity is at its zenith."You can leave now, Bryson, we will speak on the phone. Have a good night.""Alright, Mr. Wood. Have a good night's rest as well," Mr. Ethan replies reverently and taps his chauffeur who had been lost staring at the magnificent buildings behind the gate as if his life depended on them. "Let's go."The chauffeur snaps out of his reverie and nods, revising the car and zooming away.Lucien stares at the duty post of the old man from earlier and sees no one in it. Good, the man left. He then brings out his phone and dials Juliet's number."Honey," Juliet's sweet but tense voice sounds from the end of the line."Mi a
Brianna is perplexed. She furrows her brows as she asks, "How?"At this moment, before Declan can say anything, the car comes to a sudden halt and soft knocks are heard on the two glasses. Lucien unwinds one while Declan unwinds the other. It is the two Jacks and Tyler."You said you would be leaving for Washington, D.C. tomorrow, Mr. Wood, are we coming with you?" Tyler asks."Nope," Lucien doesn't waste a second shaking his head. "I'll be going with Declan alone. This is a family matter. Besides, as you guys know, it is Washington, D.C. that I'm going to this time, not some minor city around Richmond, your powers will be useless over there. Just enjoy your rest.""But this is also Washington, D.C., Mr. Wood, how would you survive over there alone if the Pearsons choose to attack? I heard they are one of the major families there.""It's a family in Washington, D.C., what can they possibly do to Lucien?" Declan retorts smugly. "You guys should just take a chill pill, we will meet you
Brianna is confused at Lucien's response to Declan. Of course, she knows who Ellison is but what she doesn't understand is what Ellison has done that Lucien plans to pay him a visit and seek an explanation. It should not be forgotten that Brianna was kidnapped before Ellison's men arrived to destroy the Mansion earlier so she has no idea that her family Mansion has been destroyed.She can only look at Lucien and asks, "What happened, Lucien? Why are you preparing to visit my dad's half-brother? What did he do this time?""It's like this," for several minutes, despite the fact that he wasn't the one asked, Declan takes his time to explain everything to her.By the time he is done, Brianna is not the only one boiling in rage, Nikki, Tyler, and the two Jacks can't also help the rage surging through them. Just like Brianna, they had no idea something of such happened before they left for East Highland Park. Hah! They are so shocked!"If the Mansion was destroyed, where then are we going
"This is the Douglas family Manor, what does what I'm doing here got to do with you?!" Brooks glares right back at Brianna and retorts coldly. It is safe to say that Brooks and Brianna share the same manner of animosity toward each other. Brooks is the reason the Pearsons ever fell. Brooks is the reason Juliet stabbed herself. Brooks also tried to kill Lucien.There's no how Brianna wouldn't hate someone who did all this. If she has her way, she would have ripped him to threads!On the other hand, Brianna was the only trump card Brooks had to get Lucien into his trap. He had also been salivating fucking her so many times till there was nothing more left to fuck.One could imagine how angry he is that all his plans have failed. And now, the same Brianna is questioning him? He wishes he can rip her useless tongue out of her mouth."Do you guys know each other?!" Seeing the grave animosity between the gent and lady, Ryan can't help but ask."Nah," after a while, Brianna shakes her head.
Muah!Muah!A soft sound echoes as Helen kisses Lucien's feet. The next moment, the Douglases also begin approaching Lucien one by one and kissing his feet. This goes on for more than twenty minutes before it finally comes to an end.Lucien is quite emotional. These people at the very last moment suddenly exalted him to the status of a God in their hearts. It's not something that happens often. A drop of tear slips from his eyes, silently dropping down to the floor."Lucien shed a tear," Declan gasps. The last time he saw Lucien shed a tear was when the young man Ares, told him about his parent's demise. Lucien hardly cries!He looks at the Douglases and says deeply, "You guys are damn lucky! You made Lucien shed a tear. Consider yourselves family from now on! Lucien would protect you all as a lion would his cub, as a father would his child, as a human being would his pupils, and as a God would his creatures!""Thank you, Mr. Wood! Thank you, Master!" The Douglases exclaim, so delig
