Hugh opened his eyes suddenly. His head was resting on the back of the couch. It was dark in grandpa James' ward. He could see Lucia sprawled beside grandpa James'. He felt a familiar and hated presence around the ward and his head snapped to look at the door. Hugh stood up and walked toward Lucia to check if she was really sleeping. It had been an hour since they entered the ward. It was late and it wasn't surprising that Lucia was sleeping tiredly. He gently raised her shoulder and took her in his arms toward the sofa.He placed her back lightly on it and straightened her legs. After setting her comfortably on the sofa, he raised his hand and caressed her cheek. Lucia suddenly caught his hand, unconsciously. Hugh chuckled at this, "I'll be back, kitten. I need to deal with a pesky fly." He whispered.Hugh removed his hand from Lucia's loose grip. He walked towards the ward's door, he knew the person on the other side of the door could hear his footsteps. He did not make any attempt
Hugh's brain spelled danger for him. He could feel the evident bloodlust from Elios. He rushed after Elios but he had already gotten to where Lucia was. Hugh's eyes turned blue, he was ready to reveal his identity as a wolf and pounce on Elios. He didn't care about repercussions.Hugh's right hand had changed. It was furry and clawed. Lucia didn't see Hugh's change but she was surprised at the unfamiliar person present. Before Elios could touch Lucia, Hugh had pierced his back, close to his heart. Elios halted in his steps. His hand that was raised to touch Lucia stopped mid-air."Why are you awake?" Hugh asked with an uneasy smile on his face. Lucia looked at Hugh and then looked back at Elios with a suspicious look. "I wanted to use the bathroom. I didn't see you there. You said you would stay." Lucia said and pouted her lips."Sorry about that. I came out to do some business." Hugh said awkwardly. His hand that had turned had changed back. He used his hand to block the wound he had
Lucia felt a bit sour due to how she acted. She did not get the time to dwell on her feelings before she was spoken to by the doctor. "He is fine, Miss." The attending doctor said, "I will be out. You should be careful with him. Subsequent treatments would commence afterward." The doctor said and Lucia nodded, watching as the doctor walked out. Lucia turned around and walked to grandpa James' bed. The tubes attached to him had already been removed. An IV drip was still attached to him. "How are you, grandpa?" Lucia asked with a smile as tears filled her eyes. "Come here, girl." Grandpa James said with a shaky voice.Grandpa James demanded for a hug. Lucia shook her head with a smile on her face. She wanted to give her grandpa a hug. But she looked at his frail body and could not dare to. "You should rest, grandpa. What type of porridge would you like to eat?" She asked. Grandpa James put on a grumpy look. He hated the weird taste and unspiced taste of porridge. But it was the only f
Hugh quickly took out his phone to text Lucas to go see grandpa James. On second thoughts, Hugh decided to call Lucas instead. It would be faster and would make Lucia assured. He dialed Lucas' phone number. Lucas picked up on the fourth ring, "Go to CEO James' ward, now." Hugh's voice gave no room for Lucas to disobey. Lucas on the other hand thought deeply about Hugh's words. He decided to go to the ward now since he was done with what Lucia had ordered him to do. Everything he had compiled would be on the news that day. Lucas put back his laptop into his bag and walked out of the restroom. He had been using the restroom on the last floor. He was thankful that the shareholders had dispersed. He didn't know that CEO was awake now. He boarded the elevator and rode to the highest floor.Lucas saw a woman in the elevator. She was dressed in a black dress. She looked familiar to Lucas. He nodded at her in greeting. The woman looked at Lucas but didn't bother to return his greeting. She
Lucia nodded her head over the phone. She heard the beeping sound that indicated the call had ended. She decided she would see her grandpa herself before she would believe that he was alright. She had negative feelings about Melanie's presence in the hospital. She turned to see Hugh behind her.Hugh looked at Lucia with a serious look. He was trying to decern her thoughts through the different expressions on her face. But he could only see panic and worry for her grandfather. 'Does she have no emotions for me, huh?' Hugh asked himself. He was hurt alongside his wolf."Your phone." Lucia said and stretched his phone to him. She expected Hugh to take it immediately but he did not. He was still looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze. Lucia was tired of standing and she wanted to leave. She still had to make porridge for her grandpa. She decided she would take a nap first. Lucia put her hand down while Hugh was still looking at her. She crept her hand towards his pants pocket and droppe
Lucia was a bit surprised at his words. The Elios she had seen didn't look one bit dangerous. He looked more like a pretty boy, but she knew not to underestimate anyone. She also didn't want to probe too much, as she knew her limits. Hugh's words made her think twice.'If Elios is dangerous, is Hugh dangerous too?' Lucia thought as she looked into Hugh's eyes. She decided to talk about the next thing on her mind, "What are we?" Lucia asked vaguely because she was a bit embarrassed. She had read somewhere that the question was mostly asked by women.She bent her head slightly to avoid his eyes. Her words made Hugh furrow his brows. He didn't know how to answer her. He also wanted to laugh because of the embarrassed and shy expression on her face. It was rare to see Lucia shy or embarrassed. He liked her boldness."Honestly…" Hugh started and trailed off. Lucia eagerly waited for him to complete his sentence. She hated being left hanging like that but she decided to be patient. Hugh on t
COO OF YOUNG CORPORATION ALLEGEDLY INVOLVED IN MURDER.THE MISSING HEIRESS OF YOUNG CORPORATION, ISABELLE YOUNG, WAS MURDERED BY ISABELLE YOUNG.SCIENTIST IN THE MUD.YOUNG CORPORATION IN DEEP WATERS.These were the headlines that wrecked the internet, news blogs, and business news. Melanie razed everything on her desk to the ground, in anger. Her makeup was ruined and ugly. She held her head and ruffled her hair in complete misery as she watched the news being broadcasted on TV. "Get them to take the news down now!! Take everything down!!" Melanie shouted at her assistant with eyes blazing with fury. Fear ran down the assistant's body. "W..we can't take it down." The assistant explained slowly. "The police have caught unto it." The assistant added and quickly moved away.Melanie could blow up like a bomb at any time and the assistant would be the one to bear the brunt. "What do you mean the police have caught unto it? What can those bunches do? They can't do anything!" Melanie said
"Grandpaaa." Lucia said in a slightly high tone. "You can't do that. I don't want that and of course, Lucas does not want that either." Lucia said and turned to Lucas. Giving him a deathly stare, she dared him to say otherwise. Lucas on the other hand quickly composed himself."Yes, boss. I don't want that." He didn't say so because Hugh and Lucia were staring down at him. 'This demon couple. They should stop scaring me.' Lucia thought grudgingly in his mind. Grandpa James looked from Lucia to Lucas with a serious gaze. His stare made the duo a bit scared.They dreaded what he would say next. Lucia would not be able to refuse her grandpa if he arranged a marriage with Lucas for her. 'How did he even think of that?' She asked herself. Her head moved stealthily to the side to observe Hugh's reaction and her heart broke.Hugh had an unbothered expression on his face. His gaze was directed at the window, looking at the sky. Lucia turned her head back and at that point, if grandpa James sa
