20. Mark My Words
-Lucy’s POV-
Today is the day that I will be married to the man whom I have secretly cherished. I never thought that this will ever happen due to his disappearance a year ago, but here I am wearing this beautiful trumpet wedding dress. I am looking at myself in the mirror trying to take everything in. This is it Lucy! You can do this! I am trying to calm myself down for I am truly nervous. Who wouldn’t be? I mean, aside from the fact that I am marrying the man that I love, I am also marrying one of the richest bachelors in Brisbane. This is a true responsibility and now, I will have to carry that for the rest of my life. The pressure is real and I have to be very careful with every action and decision that I have to make. True responsibility huh? Speaking about responsibility dear Lucy; are you ready for the responsibility that you have as a wife? You were bold enough to kiss him that day in the boutique, but are you bold enough to give yourself fully? The

The Orphan's Goddess 21. I Would Rather
-Conner’s POV- The wedding went rather smoothly. I saw my uncle Jack with a big smile on his face and Lucy’s parents became emotional as their daughter walked down the aisle. A tingling feeling crept inside my heart. I can feel myself become proud of the woman whom I will call Mrs. Lowell, my wife. She is wearing the trumpet wedding dress covered with crystals which made her look like a fairy. She walked so gracefully that I could almost see her floating rather than just simply walking. A memory flashed back in my mind the moment I laid eyes on her as she walked towards the sea a year ago. I can sense that same feeling I had which I wish to divulge into. However, the thought vanished in an instant when I remembered the scene I saw between Lucy and Nick minutes before our wedding began. The sight of Lucy with Nick was unbearable. What chance do I have over the person who captured Lucy’s heart? Do I even have a place in Lucy’s heart? I thought I had for we had t
The Orphan's Goddess 22. Don't Forget
-Lucy’s POV- Nights have passed with only me in this lonely place. I may be married, but it doesn’t feel that way. I am living in Conner’s mansion, but Conner has never been home since the night after our wedding. I guess I angered him when I slapped him on the face that night. It was an initial reaction of how lowly he thinks of me. Serves him right. I gave out a sigh and shook my head. Maybe he is doing what he said he would, that we will get married, but nothing will change. I leave the house at eight in the morning and be back around six in the afternoon. This has been my routine for almost a month now. I didn’t have much to worry for Conner’s staff has always made everything ready for me. However, this very feeling made me remember the agony that I had a year ago. Conner left without a single word, again. The moment I entered the room I took off my jacket and placed it on top of the bed. I opened the glass door to the balcony and was greeted by the icy
The Orphan's Goddess 23. I Clearly Remember
-Conner’s POV- I entered the bathroom feeling guilty of what I have done. From the very start I didn’t have plans of coming home at all. This is the very reason why I have avoided Lucy for the past month for I wasn’t certain of my self-control anymore. For some reason this woman had some power on me. Over the past year I have maintained to establish this self-righteous image, but this woman crushed it all instantaneously. Just the thought of her being with another man angers me a lot and is making me act irrationally just like what I did the night after our wedding. I turned on the shower and made the water flow over my body hoping that it would ease the heat from the love making we did. I could still feel her soft skin at my palms, her natural scent and the sweet taste of her lips which made me lose my sanity and just take her without even asking for her approval. Love making? You forced her god dammit! She was pushing you away and you didn’t even stop. It was eve
The Orphan's Goddess 24. A Taste of Your Own Medicine
A Taste of Your Medicine-Lucy's POV- I have been sitting on the floor for a couple of minutes now after Conner delibrately took what was preciously mine. I have always reminded myself to never give in to any sort of temptation and will offer myself solely to my husband. Well, technically Conner is my husband, but we are entirely in a different set-up. We were forced into this marraige. Love is definitely not part of our relationship. I can learn to accept the fact that I only have Conner's surname, but not his heart. However, what he did to me was beyond the line. The encounter we had was no loving making. I felt betrayed, abused and degraded. I have always felt proud of myaelf for I know I did well all throughout my existence until I met Conner. I graduated with flying colors from elementary to college. I have had awards and recognition during my internship. I eventually became the assistant director of Mark's Magazine, the top 1 magazine in Brisbane. All of that confid
The Orphan's Goddess 25. Tend A Wound
-Conner's POV-I am truly dumbfounded. I couldn't utter a single word. I watched Lucy's back as she went inside what seems to be the storage room. The woman I am looking at now is far from the woman I knew a year ago. The once fragile maiden has become fierce. I bet she can take on anything now. I am happy that she has found her strength to face anything that might come her way, but there's this sadness in my heart knowing that she has found her strength on her own and not with me. I remember that I promised her before that I will be there to help her when she asked me that day we met, but I left her. I am starting to realize how badly I wronged her especially now that I have taken what was rightfully hers. I slowly sat on the chair that was right in front of her desk. I closed my eyes and massaged my nasal bridge to sooth myself. Now you are out of ideas. What happened to your charm Conner? Think and think hard. What should be done? Just then a loud bang came from the room
The Orphan's Goddess 26. Let Me Help
-Lucy's POV-I was truly nervous. How I acted awhile ago was an entirely different level. I have never done such especially the flirting part. The thing that I was really worried about is how Conner would react and might hurt Ronald in the process. The poor thing got involved all of a sudden without a clue. Ronald placed me gently on the bed and even helped me with the pillows so that I can rest my back comfortably. He immediately went back outside to get the medicine kit. He rolled my jeans which was already smudged with blood knee high to get a clear view of my wound. He took out some wet wipes to clean my wound and got some cotton with alcohol in it. He then looked at me and said, "This will hurt a bit." I nodded and said, "It's okay. Go ahead." He tapped on my wound using the cotton. I felt a sting on my skin, but it wasn't so bad for he blew gently to ease the pain due to the alcohol on the cotton. He then placed a bandage to cover up my wound. "Thank you Ronald. It's so kin
The Orphan's Goddess 27. I Have A Plan
-Lucy's POV-I am not certain why and how, but I allowed myself to endulge to Ronald's help. "You seem very confident in offering your help. Do you have something in mind?" I asked while sitting straight and willingly gave my ears to hear Ronald out. "Well, I am not sure if you have noticed, but Mr. Lowell has been distracted these days." I arched my brows wanting to know more. " Distracted? Why?" Ronald smiled at me and said, "Madam, Mr. Lowell is distracted by you." I was stunned. I couldn"t believe what I just heard. "W-what?! you must have misunderstood. Why would he be diatracted by me? Even though I am his wife, he doesn't see me that way. That is impossible." Ronald was shaking his head "No, Madam I am sure of it. I have never seen Mr. Lowell drink alcohol since the first day of my service as his personal driver, not until you came into his life. Tonight was not the first time that Mr. Lowell got drunk. He had started drinking the night after your wedding. It would be a mi
The Orphan's Goddess 28. The Plan
-Lucy's POV-Just as planned, we are going to make Conner jealous. This is a risk that I willingly took without knowing if I will get a hundred percent success rate. Well, I won't lose anything if I will try and if I will find out that Conner is not into me then, I will figure out a way to move forward. I am not really into social media, but for the sake of 'the plan' I took a selfie while drinking coffee with Ronald behind me making a cup of coffee himself and captioned it with 'Rise and Shine'. Once done I posted it on my f******k account where Conner, some close friends and relatives are linked there. Not long after I finished my coffee I checked if there were comments or people who reacted to the post I made. To my surprise I already have 15 likes and 5 hearts in that short span of time and there was even a comment. The comment was from one of my close friends, Amanda. I kinda giggled when it stated 'Who is that hunk?' I'm not gonna lie, but Ronald is a real hottie. If I wasn
