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 miRelated chapters
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
The Orphan's Goddess 29. What Do You See Me As?
-Lucy's POV-I am having the time of my life. I just feel like I am winning this game. I have prepared myself for this. I should give myself a tap on the back for my acting wasn't too shabby. I can see Conner's breathing grow heavy and his stare was so intense that it was like breaking through my act. "Yes, I have a problem with it! I don't want you near other men!" I scoffed, "What about my male employees? My male clients? I should not talk to them because you don't want to? That can't be Conner! I have a business to run and I can't let my people down just to do what pleases you! I can't do what you asks of me!" Conner was walking from left to right and back trying to figure out something I do not know. All of a sudden he stops and faces me, "I will hire a manager for you. You don't need to go to the office everyday. You can visit your branches from time to time to check on things, but you don't have to necessarily come." I am in awe. This man has lost it. "Are you hearing
The Orphan's Goddess 30. Need A Drink
-Lucy's POV-I am in rage. I am so pissed that I wish to do something crazy tonight. I know I have to get back to my office to double check the delivery we did today and also on the updates coming from my trusted cashiers for today's sales and all, but I am totally not in the mood to do so.i didn't transfer from my seat since we sent Conner to his mansion. I did not even speak to him nor looked at him when he said his goodbye.I simply ignored him, but my heart tells otherwise. I was anxious to know what he truly felt for me and when I finally knew what it was my heart torn to pieces. I turned to Ronald "Take me to 'The Lounge' I'll ask Sophie to go meet me their." I was about to call Sophie when Ronald said "Madam are you okay?" I simply nodded and called Sophie. It didn't take long for her to answer the call "Hey Lucy! What's up sistah?" Sophie has always been enthusiastic and since I don't have any sibling I treat her like a real sister and so did she. "Hey! I missed
The Orphan's Goddess 31. LOVE ME
-Conner's POV-This woman is unbelievable. First she did not dare listen to me when I tried to explain my part awhile ago. Then, she ignored me completely. She didn't even look at me when I bid goodbye and now here she is in a restobar all drunk. Although, a bit confused as to why Ronald called me about this matter, I'm glad he did or else I wouldn't forgive myself if ever something happened to this woman who is now sleeping with her head on my shoulder. I was looking intently to the woman who is now making a soft snore when my phone rang. "Mr. Lowell, I have sent Ms. Sophie to her house safely. She wanted to say to you that she is sorry for not being able to stop her friend from drinking too much. She also added that I should make sure to mention to you how sad Madam is because of you." Ronald's message rang in my ears especially the last part. She is sad because of me?Who wouldn't be? Have you forgotten what you did to her? You are lucky she didn't go bizarre. She eve
The Orphan's Goddess 32. I Love You
-Lucy's POV- I am not certain of what to do and how to respond. I know I have searched for this man for so long, but this is also the very reason why I fear of what’s going to happen if I will delve into the desire of my heart. I was devastated when he left without a trace. If I will allow him to love me now, I know I will love him more. The more I love the more it will hurt. I didn’t know that I was crying not until he wiped away my tears with his kiss. It was warm. I could get used to this. However, what will I do if one day all of this will be gone? I let out a deep, heavy sigh “Conner please, don’t make me feel this way.” Conner frowned by how I responded, “Why not?” The expression on his face made my heart ache that I couldn’t help but touch his face “Do you know that you are my downfall? Depression is toxic. I had to seek professional help because I really thought that I was going to lose myself. A whole year of me trying to erase you in my mind, in my heart was
The Orphan's Goddess 33. In Case You Didn't Notice
-Lucy’s POV- I gathered all the strength that I have to push him away from me. I want to rebel. I want to take away his pride. I don’t know why. Maybe I want him to feel what I felt when he left or maybe I want a little revenge. I don’t want to see him winning over me so easily. Seeing his victorious smile makes me want to scowl. Ugh! Why am I so gullible?! I hate it when I act like this! The more I hate it because I feel this way for the same freakin’ person! Can’t I be a bit more mysterious so that it would be a whole lot difficult for him to read? I covered my face with my two hands not wanting to see the face of the man whom I just confessed my feelings to. I just want to hide my pathetic face from him. He stood to approach me and grabbed both of my hands to see my face “What’s wrong? Why are you covering your face? Why are you pushing me away?” I laughed like a lunatic. “I-I don’t know! I feel the need to stay away from you. I don’t want you near me. Y-you annoy me! I-I
The Orphan's Goddess 34. For Now
-Lucy’s POV- I woke early the next morning. I haven’t changed yet and I am still in the arms of Conner who is peacefully sleeping. I stared at him and started to study the shape of his face, his long eye lashes, his nose, his pinkish lips which I am totally addicted to. I can’t believe all of this is happening. It is like a fairytale come true. Now, I can say that I am living the life I ever wanted, but my heart continues to worry of what is in stored for me. Will this be just for this moment or will this last a lifetime? I am not certain. It is too good to be true. Ronald is right, I have to pursue our plan in order for me to make sure that all of this is real. Although I don’t know how to act in front of him anymore after all the confession I made last night. I just want to slap my forehead for being so vulnerable and became overly cheesy. I got so engrossed with all the emotions I felt that I forgot to think straight and went beyond the plan. I have to make a clean
The Orphan's Goddess 35. I'm Going
-Lucy’s POV- I am literally not the kind of woman who seduce which makes things really tricky, but with Ronald’s help everything went smoothly as I hoped it would. However, with Nick, I am not certain of what the outcome will be. I’m a bit hesitant for I don’t want to use his feelings for me to pull this stunt out, but there’s no backing out now. I was the one who thought of this anyway and so I have to make this right. You are really doing this Lucy? You really are going to use Nick’s feelings for you? Remember he still is your bestfriend no matter what. Well, it’s not as if I’m going to make him feel that I like him the way he wanted to. It’s going to be the usual ‘Nick and Lucy friends type’, I’m just going to be a little clingy than the normal clingy me. I placed all of my focus on my laptop, well not really all I was checking on Conner from time to time when he is not looking my way. Conner was roaming around the café checking at t
