-Lucy’s POV-

The ride to Miley’s boutique is complete silence. Nobody dared to speak. My heart was beating fast, as fast as the questions running in my mind. I wish to ask him for the longest time why he left without letting me know. I watched outside the window not letting Conner see my face as I try to hold back the tears. I couldn’t understand what I was feeling. I felt resentment, betrayed and pain all at the same time. I remember how I waited, how I searched for the man who is no

  • The Orphan's Goddess   80. There’s Life Growing Inside You

    -Lucy’s POV-He made a strong statement with a stern look on his face. He was truly serious. Laura and Philip were so nervous that they looked like ghosts. Philip made a shaky fake laugh, “Mr. Lowell! It is my great honor to see you here today! My wife was just fond of your wife. She took on a liking for her, maybe it is the hormones working. You know how pregnant women are. They talk nonsense at times.” A dangerous smirk formed at the corner of Conner’s lips. “My wife is also pregnant, but everything that comes out of her mouth are full of sense. She is incomparable. Teach your wife some manners or else you wouldn’t be able to stop the consequence that would follow.” Philip scratched the back of his head and bowed at Conner. “I’m so sorry for the manners my wife showed. I promise that this will not happen again. Right, honey?” Laura frowned and whined, “But, honey! Don’t tell me you’re scared of Mr. Lowell! You are a Rodriguez! You are also powerful like him! He should pay some respe

    -Lucy's POV-Laura made a sharp gasp, “Are you insulting me?” Oooh, I think you hit a nerve there, Lucy. Good job! I am so proud of you! Don’t let that b*tch pull you down. “Insulting is an overstatement. I am just merely telling you the truth.” Laura is so mad that her face looks so agitated I could laugh. “How dare you say that to me! Have you forgotten who I am?!” Laura’s voice shivered because of anger. However, I kept my composure and prepared to rebuttal. “Oh I remember who you are. You are Laura Rodriguez, the wife of Philip Rodriguez and a housewife, am I right?” At that moment it felt like her nostrils would explode, “YOU! Honey! Look at her she’s mocking me!” I really thought she would attack me, but she breathed instead and clung unto her husband purring like a slutty kitty-cat. Her husband looked at me with a smirk on his mouth, “You really think you are a boss? Well, maybe you are because a trash like you was picked up by a golden crane. You should be thankful that you ma

Alfred and I are on our way to Mr. Fredrick Ace to clarify the situation and make a deal with him to give the Phoenix project to Bernard Yates for a good reason. I entered Mr. Ace’s office and saw him sitting, waiting for me there. I lent my hand for a shake and greeted him, Mr. Ace, thank you so much for giving me your time. I know you have a lot on your plate and I am greatly honored for the chance that you gave me.” Mr. Ace took my hand and said, “I know you won’t fly here all of a sudden for no good reason. There’s something behind this and I intend to know what. So, Mr. Lowell what’s the catch?” He led us to the couch near his table for us to sit comfortably while we talk. I sat before I said, “Well, Mr. Ace I think you already know why I am here.” He smirked, “I might, but I want to be sure what you really

  • The Orphan's Goddess   76. Comfortable When I’m Away

    - Conner’s POVI felt my heart torn into pieces hearing Lucy say that she deserves freedom. That is something I dread to hear especially from her. I never wanted her to be free because I want her to be tied with me forever. She is my wife and I intend to keep it that way. But how? Now that she has become distant to me, I don’t know what to do. I went inside the bathroom to wash my face and looked at myself in the mirror. Lucy is right. The feud between me and Bernard Yates is not her burden to carry.

My boys told me that the proposal of Mr. Yates has the same content with the one that you

  • The Orphan's Goddess   75. Not to Worry

    Lucy’s POV-Is he trippin’? His voice is firm, but his eyes are soft. It’s an enchanting gaze like a spell was casted on me and just couldn’t say no. Ok fine, I get it. Better near than in the same room. Oh please Lucy, it’s all over your nerves. It’s almost obvious that it is screaming Conner’s name. Are you certain you wouldn’t go knocking on Conner’s door tonight to be in his arms, tough momma? The argument of my alter ego is just as annoying as ever. But I swear the endearment in his eyes are awfully tempting. Still, looks like I simply don’t have any choice, but to give in to Conner’s request. I crossed my arms across my chest, “You just don’t give me any choice, do you? This is all your fault! I shouldn’t be hiding this way and be fearing for the our safety if it wasn’t for your rivalry!” Suddenly my hormones are kicking in and I just want to put on a fight with Conner. “Mr. Conner Lowell! You better make this right! Straighten this mess that you made with that Bernard Yates so
