Lucinda's POV. There wasn't going to be anybody who would take my kids away from me no matter whatever powers they possessed and I was sure that he freaking knew this but he was still trying to test me. Most of the people who had come closer to me understood the beauty of having a loyal woman by their side but according to the man in front of me, he was always looking for better ways to deal with situations like it was none one's business. "I don't recall you ever accepting that you had kids. If you want to contest it, then we can contest it. I am not going to raise my child in a place full of pretentious and envious beings. It has never worked on me and it wouldn't. I don't care whatever this is going to cost me but I'm going to fight tooth and nail." I promised him with so much venom dripping out of my tongue. I have given him the opportunity to change for a long time but he kept on messing things up. I stepped in his face. "I don't know what you want but this is unacceptable."
Darcus' POV. "Sir, she has successfully escaped," Marcus whispered through the phone, telling me that his beloved friend was probably around somewhere and he was trying not to get on her nerves. This was one of the things that made Lucinda endearing to me. She didn't even planet but she had a way of instilling fear in even a grown man that made him shiver just at this sound of her name."I'm coming over." I responded with immediate alacrity. I had messed up the first time by allowing her to leave but now I'm no longer going to make such silly mistakes because I was just being a wuss. *Thirty minutes later, I rapped at the front of the door. Her scent was potent behind the door and that was how I knew that she was everly present but the only challenge to this was me not knowing how she was going to receive my presence. If I was going to be honest I wouldn't blame her for whatever reaction she would give but I also knew that Marcus was going to take the fall even if she couldn't s
Lucinda's POV. The best option for me right now was to take my kid away and run but I also figured out that it wasn't going to be substantial and rough so I didn't want to explore such an option that left me at the mercy of someone else when I could just fight for my own freedom and achieve it with my own hands. Marcus on the other hand was very fidgety and I started to wonder why I even dragged him into this plight because he looked like he was having a pretty hard time figuring his way without causing chaos for his own family and I kind of understood that perfectly. I would also be crazy to think that he would risk his wife's safety just to please me. I would be mad if my man did the same thing to me without even seeking my consent and I didn't want that to be my position to other women, so I guess I had to suck it up and just go with the flow and hope that things became better. "Darcus called a few hours ago and I think it's time for you to pick up and make sure that he has a w
Lucinda's POV. No one was going to expect me to sit in a place where I knew that I was not valued, no matter what they tried to say, so it was a privilege to always have the opportunity to get out when I had the chance and never feel remorseful for that.Secondly, the fact that there were a lot of hardships here and there but I would not be mean in a place where I was not treated right because I wanted to save my life. There were many reasons why most people were taking the risks, but then it wasn't going to stop now, because I also had the right to do whatever I wanted and whenever I wanted it. There were other things that I was putting much consideration into, yet had not gotten the results I wanted out of it, but like I had promised myself, I wasn't going to let anything deter me from the core, which I had already planned to take. I arrived at Marcus's house when I knew he wouldn't be expecting me, so that he wouldn't have the audacity to pull a stunt on me by reaching out to m
Author's. POV."What might be the cause for you not to have given me the answers that I have desperately asked for? You, of all people, know that it's supposed to not take so long before you give me direct answers, yet you have been cutting corners and making me look like a fool. I gave you complete payment, but you have refused to give me what I deserve." Daston challenged Killian, who kept staring at him like he didn't understand a thing about what he was lamenting. "Maybe if you had kept to your end of the bargain then I wouldn't have to be worrying my pretty head about things out of my control. Have you ever thought about that?" Killian challenged Daston. He wasn't going to watch him turn Lucinda into an object that he could only keep taking from her and never return anything to her life. It was one thing for him to know that somebody was trying to exploit her, and it was another for him to be an accomplished man, and he had only used this opportunity to get out of that miserly
Lucinda's POV. I wasn't expecting any iota of truth from my ex-husband, but from his words I knew that he had nothing to hide and that he was only telling the basic truth, but at the same time I was still very concerned about how this was supposed to work with me in the picture when I knew that there were a little ups and downs. "You cannot keep hiding me over here and expect my husband to let this slide. He is going to come for you hard and by the time that happens I'm not sure you would be ready to deal with it." I sounded the warning with so much grace better than I ever expected it to sound The only difference between us was the fact that I had decided to commit myself to a lifelong moving forward instead of backwards and I knew it was going to get on his last nerves "If you have something else to say why don't you come out already and say it instead of leaving me blank?" He asked with a small smile on his face which wasn't even doing justice to what I wanted to start speaking
