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
The Orphan's Goddess 51. All Yours
-Conner’s POV- When Joseph said that there’s someone blocking our way, I immediately knew who it was. I can say that I have been waiting for this moment, however I didn’t want it this way, not with Lucy. I am not worried of facing Bernard Yates, but I am worried about Lucy’s safety. This Bernard whom Uncle Jack said was my father’s bestfriend, betrayed my father. He was just then an apprentice until he earned my father’s trust and eventually became business partners of ‘L’s Clothing’. Bit by bit he built his own clothing business behind my father’s back and used the marketing strategies which my father worked hard on. He is a total mock in the business industry, but a real threat at the same time. He was the reason of ‘L’s Clothing’s downfall. My father was never able to recover for everytime he executes a plan Bernard was always able to implement it first. He is a cheeky thief and I believe that he has more under his sleeves. I will make him confess and make sure that all o
The Orphan's Goddess 52. Would You Mind
-Lucy’s POV- I wasn’t just making an alibi when I said I was feeling tired and sleepy because I truly was. I don’t know maybe it was the adrenaline rush after all the courage I put up to face that—who was that again? Was it Bernard? I can still imagine the look on his face. It was terrifying, but for some reason I built that strong urge to fight back and to be honest it really felt good knowing that I can actually do that. I mean, how cool is that knowing that I can face anything if I just put my mind and heart into it. Then, I realized that I did that because Conner really meant something to me. I know that I have feelings for him, but I haven’t truly figured out the depth of it, not until now. Seeing and knowing that he is in danger made everything clear to me. That what I am feeling for him is not just mere infatuation, but I truly love him. Having this realization made it more difficult and scarier because this is new to me and I don’t have any clue if he feels something for me to
The Orphan's Goddess 53. I’m Scared, But
-Lucy’s POV-I didn’t know where that came from, but I said it anyway and so I can’t take back the words that I said. You may not have planned it, but that’s what your heart truly desires. You love him! Why don’t you just give him a chance and make things easier for the both of you? Why do you have to keep on testing him? Give yourself a break and just let things flow. Maybe, just maybe you will really end up happy with him. If things do go wrong, then you’ll deal with it when it does happen. But what if it doesn’t? Are you going to keep on wallowing in your own misery? Sometimes my alter-ego is right. This time she is not being sarcastic, she is now doing real talk. I can sense that Conner was startled with what he heard from me. He started playing with my fingers like he doesn’t know what to do. “Baby, please don’t play games with me. You know how eager I am to kiss you right now so please let me. Please d
The Orphan's Goddess 54. My Weakness
-Conner’s POV- “I know you are scared, but please—” Say what? My ears must be deceiving me. Did I hear that right? She loves me? I blinked a couple of times and looked at her straight in the eye. “Did- did you- Can you please repeat to me what you just said?” I can see her blush. That is so cute. She turned her head and said, “I said what I said and I’m not going to say it again.” I cupped her face with my two hands, “Please, I just want to hear it again. I want to make sure that what I heard was right.” She pouted which made her look more irresistible. “Oh Lucy, do you know what you are doing to me?” She then wore a confused look. I took her right hand and placed it on my manhood. Her eyes widened when she finally understood what I meant. I sighed in frustration because I know I can’t touch her for now because of her condition. “I want you to understand though that this is not just what you are doing to me. You are making me feel different emotions I sometimes couldn’t understand. Y
The Orphan's Goddess 55. I am Nobody’s Fiancé
-Lucy POV-I don’t know what this is, but I think I am in between the state of being awake and dreaming. I mean the moment I let my walls down, everything suddenly was put into place. I never even thought that I would see an actual ‘twinkling of the eyes’ like what I have seen in movies. Conner right now is nothing, but a sweet and loving husband to me. It has been a week since we became official, and he has constantly been giving me butterflies in my stomach.I was advised by the doctor to take a rest until my medication of my ulcer is done and he never forgets to chat or give me a call to remind me to take my meds. I also try to manage the café online. It has been crazy busy at the cafe especially with Ronald’s premiere, but Conner is helping me supervise everything while I can’t go to the café in person. He has been doing all the dirty work while I watch him online. I admire how he is able to facilitate everything at the café without forgetting my presence even though I am just in
