42. Call me, Lucy
-Lucy’s POV-
At this point I didn’t really care of what people will say about me ‘coz I know that it isn’t decent to have another man in my house especially now that I am married to the most famous bachelor in Brisbane, however they don’t feel what I feel and they don’t have the agony that I have. Fuck that status quo! What I am feeling right now may be because of the alcohol I drank, but this man right here, right in front of me is the one keeping me sane. Right now, I don’t care about doing what is right, I just want him to keep me company. “Madam, I wish to be of service to you, but I don’t think that It would be right. Mr.-“
“I don’t care about your Mr. Lowell! I- I know how much you respect your Mr. Lowell, but I-I honestly don’t care. Think of this as one of your jobs. I just want to have somebody with me tonight. Somebody who is on my side and not care about this - this status quo. I’m sick of it. I am honestly sick of it. I want to cry myself out and I know t

-Lucy’s POV- I woke up this morning to this very fragrant aroma. I slowly walked out from my room and found Ronald cooking in the kitchen. I felt hungry just by smelling the savory flavor of whatever he is cooking. This man is truly something, not all men can do what he can. I stood right beside him which made him flinch. “I’m sorry did I startle you?” He looked at me for a moment before answering. “I-I’m sorry madam I took the liberty of cooking you a meal. I hope you don’t mind.” I shook my head and wore a disappointed face which made Ronald uneasy “I-I’m so sorry madam. I promise to ask permission from you again. I-I didn’t like waking you up because I want you to have a good rest. I-” I placed my finger over his lips and said, “That’s not what I am disappointed about.” Ronald wore a confused look. I crossed my arms and interrogated him. “What did you call me again? I specifically told you not to call me this way again. Did you forget what I said last night? Come on, say it.” Rona
The Orphan's Goddess 44. You are Amazing
-Lucy’s POV-I couldn’t read Conner’s reaction. I wasn’t even sure if what I was doing was right, but I do believe that this is for the best. I don’t want to keep my hopes up especially with the current situation we both have; him having the possibility of becoming a father. Conner went near me and held my arms. “Lucy, all I’m asking is time. I know I am asking for too much, but this is something important to me.” I scoffed “I know, who said that becoming a father isn’t important? But what is it to me? From what I remember I have nothing to do with it. This is your responsibility, not mine.” I turned and went back to the table where the scrumptious breakfast is waiting to be eaten. “Enough yapping, Conner. I am starving. Why don’t we enjoy this feast instead of dwelling on YOUR dilemma? Having an empty stomach will do you no good, dear husband. I think this meal will give you the strength and the sm
The Orphan's Goddess 45. All for Her
-Conner’s POV- Over the years I have taught myself to keep my distance. My past almost consumed me that I thought I wouldn’t be able to move forward because of it until Lucy came to the picture. I remember how her tears rolled down her soft cheeks while I tried stopping her from drowning herself and when I looked into her eyes, I never felt so alive even though we were in a kind of horrific situation. I can see the depth of her soul and I knew then and there that this woman is pure. Looking at her now though with Ronald and hearing her praises to him is making me go out of my wits even though I know that she is just acting and trying her best to make me feel jealous. Wow! Look at you Mr. Lowell! How time flew! You’ve become a very confident man. How certain are you that she is trying to make you jealous? Can’t you just admit to yourself that you are jealous because you feel something for this woman? I hate to admit that I am jealous. Haven’t had this feeling with the other women I dat
The Orphan's Goddess 46. Win Her Back
-Conner’s POV- I am on my way to my office, but my mind was left behind my wife with that so-called ‘amazing’ man, Ronald. It is so frustrating to leave, but I know that this is also something important. For what its worth, this could make or break my relationship with Lucy. When I arrived, Alfred was already waiting for me by the main entrance. When I entered he immediately walked together with me. “Anything suspicious?” I asked in a very monotonous tone. “Nothing I suspect of, Mr. Lowell.” he instantly replied. Alfred is really somebody reliable. He has been with me over the year and he has truly helped in making my work lighter. “Good, is the investigator settled in the function room?” Alfred nodded “Afirmative, Mr. Lowell.” I made a deep breath “Alright then, make sure that nobody is to disturb me while I am talking with the investigator. I would appreciate it if keep guard the door. I don’t want any information that I will get from the investigator to leak.” Alfred nodded again,
The Orphan's Goddess 47. I Will Put an End to This
-Conner’s POV-I don’t know where to start. Things are getting a bit complicated, but the very thing that I am very worried about is the safety of my wife. Why did this have to happen when everything was starting to go smoothly between Lucy and I. I made a deep sigh as I looked at the picture of the mysterious man Amber was with from the CCTV footage “Who are you and what do you want from me?” I was looking at the picture intently when my mind pranced back to the moment when I first saw Lucy. I recall how her face flushed when she saw the scars at my back, her warmth when she embraced me and the twinkle in her eyes, those eyes that mesmerized me from its very first glance. I haven’t seen those eyes twinkle again. “When will I see your eyes twinkle again?” I asked myself out loud “Whose eyes are we talking about?” Uncle Jack interrupted. I was too absorbed with my thoughts that I didn’t notice his arrival. &ldqu
The Orphan's Goddess 48. Don’t Let Him Know
-Lucy’s POV- Today is the tasting day we have set for Ronald’s dishes. To be honest I have never felt more delighted that I almost forgot about the anxiety Conner gave me these past few days. I have always dreamed of upgrading the café, but I wasn’t sure what to do. Now that I am making this step it is literally nerve racking. I am excited of what other dishes Ronald knows how to cook and if the panel would love them they will choose the best dishes for its premier. One of the panelists is Nick for he has a great sense of taste for food. Why wouldn’t he? He is a Culinary Arts graduate in Brisbane University. The other one is his colleague, Althea and the last, but not the least Conner. I sighed at the thought that I am going to see him again. Are you thinking that this day is going to be ruined because of him or are you thinking of throwing yourself at him because you missed him so much? Huh?! Miss him?! In his dreams! I would rather not see him anymore after all the hurt he has put m
The Orphan's Goddess 49. I Got Your Back
-Lucy’s POV-These past few days I have been feeling awfully down and sick. I have been complaining to Ronald how my stomach is burning especially when I eat. Ronald kept telling me to let Conner know and have myself checked, but I refused. I just responded by saying that we don’t have enough time and we have to focus on the project for its premier. I haven’t had enough sleep nor rest because I want everything noted down for the success of this project. This means a lot to me because our family business has been my source of living. This is what’s keeping my family moving and without it we won’t have anything. This is the very reason why I married Conner in the first place. In the course of our marriage I am saving up money for I will never know when this contract marriage will end. I have to be a step forward and be ready for whatever happens.I opened my eyes and realized that I was in the hospital. I felt a warmth from my right hand and
The Orphan's Goddess 50. Save It
-Lucy’s POV- I could not believe that I followed Conner’s orders. I am currently riding in his Rolls Royce Cullinan silently, while my heart is rebelling. I have always been an independent woman and with that I have always taken things in my own hands. I am not used to depending on someone, but here I am doing just the opposite. What kind of black magic does Conner have that he can just easily make me follow him. Oh please Lucy, get over it! Conner has made his point and it truly made sense. Ugh! To be honest I am not so worried about the tasting test because I know that Ronald will do great. What I am truly worried about is myself. Can I pull out the tough act when Conner is very near me? I mean seriously I can smell his aftershave and it is ridiculously sexy. I was in my trail of thought when Joseph, Conner’s new driver, suddenly halted the car. Joseph turned his head with caution, “Mr. Lowell, somebody is blocking our way. Henry, be on guard.” He was talking to Conner’s bodyguard i
