I seem to have fallen for you
Robin was startled by her sudden behavior now. The way she was staring at him with those blue eyes of her and the way she was showing her amble breasts was not something that he had expected to see right now. She gazed at him as if he was her prey now. He looked to see that both of her arms are acting as a barrier not letting him run away from there. '' What are you doing? May I know? '' he asked her in a clear voice. She hummed. '' Don't you know? You see,..'' she begins to touch him with her hands now. Tracing his face. '' I seem to have fallen for these handsome features of yours. May I know why? I can't resist myself to you, why's that?'' she moaned in a sleek voice.'' How'd...'' he was not able to take it. He slapped her hand away from his face. '' Oh, the way you are acting...'' she touched his neck now aiming to untie his tie now. '' Are you a virgin? ''this made the shade on her face a little darker than before. '' There's....''

Her rebellion
'' I am not going to step out of this succession thing. There's no way I can do this,'' Lucy shouts getting up from the seat. '' Is that so? You don't want to step out of this?'' Julia asked again observing her expression. '' Yes, I don't want to, no matter what you say I am not going to step out of this,'' Lucy said again glaring at her sister. The smile on Julia's face disappeared. '' Do you know what will be the result of your impudence?'' Julia yelled slamming onto the table. '' I will show all of these pictures to Grandpa. Then he will throw your hubby from the house. Or tell you to divorce him to marry another guy or something. You don't want this do you?'' asked Julia. When Lucy thought about it seriously she could understand that if this continues then the divorce that Christina was talking about will be proved real. She needs to step out of the succession just because of her husband now. Why because of him this is happenin

James you again?
Christina was shocked to see Noir there. '' It's been a while since I met you. What are you doing here?'' Noir asked pulling away. '' I came here with Christina,'' he replied. '' But what are you doing here?'' But Robin recalls the scene during the last time he was with her. She had pecked on his cheeks. This made his cheeks fluster red out of embarrassment.'' My dad is the host of this exhibition so I came here as the representative,'' replied Noir with a smile on her face.'' Wait you mentioned Christina where's she?''. '' Here I am,'' Christina replied. '' Christina,'' Noir called in an excited tone hugging Christina. '' Oh Chris when did you come back here? You went to London right?'' Noir asked out of bewilderment.  '' Yes, you were not here too when did you come back?'' Noir asked. '' Some days ago,'' replied Christina. Noir pulled away. '' Hey, Robin why didn't you told me about her?''. '' I somehow forgot to, sorry. I didn't

Nostalgia hitting
After that Robin and Noir and Christina were chatting inside the room of the exhibition. They were chatting while having some light food. They were sitting across each other smiling. '' You know it's been a while since we had met, I just can't stop talking you see,'' Noir asserts in a high-pitched tone. ''I can understand after all you just love to talk don't you?'' says Christina sipping onto her orange juice. '' Yeah, you understand me so well,'' Noir says in a blurry voice. '' Will you stop being drunk when we are just drinking soft drinks?'' asked Christina. '' Sorry about it. So let me ask you. How much were you shocked when you learned that Robin is married ?'' asked Noir with a serious face observing her expression. Robin choked on his drink. '' What's up with this question Noir? This is normal for everyone. I did that out of obligation towards the grandma of Lucy. She was a kind woman who came to meet me when I was in the orphanage. I l

Crossing paths
On the way from the exhibition, in the car, Robin and Christina were sitting beside each other now. Christina was thinking about how Robin held onto her back then. She could not digest the fact that someone else can do this to him other than her.  She was looking outside thinking that. Then Robin speaks up, '' I guess I won't go to the reunion after all. You can go in my stead,'' Robin says to her.'' And why should he go? He can't explain anything to them.  '' Well, I can understand your reason. You have so much to deal with in your hands. How can you explain everything? Don't worry I will tell her about it she will be able to understand. Why are you being with her in the first place I can't understand,'' she murmurs enough so he won't hear. They reach in front of the house then Robin saw another car there. '' Goodbye then,'' she says waving at him. He also does and they part ways. When he stands in front of the door h

Apologizing
Robin's throat went dry now. '' Lucy, I...'' he could not find words to say to her to console her now. '' Always you do whatever you want to. Even today too, you went to get groceries right? Then where are they? I can't see anything with you. Then where did you went to and whom were you with? You wanted me to ask in your face right? Then answer. Why don't you have an answer now?'' she asked. He paused for a moment now. Then he looks her in the eyes with a determined look. This needs to stop now. This quarrel and misunderstanding need to be stopped. They can't continue with this any longer. He's tired of all of these. '' I was with Christina, there was an exhibition nearby so she picked me up on the way. I met up with Noir there, we chatted for a while then I came back in her car. Is there anything else that you want to ask? I don't mind saying,'' he said. '' There's no lie in it, you can rest assure.'' She looks downwards. Then rel

Arrival of Burns
It was some days after that. Lucy's grandpa had called them over to the big mansion for something. Lucy and other siblings gathered in the living room. Julia was quite offended about this. She came up to her then whispered something in her ear. '' Are you prepared to lose your way out of succession? Or are you going to divorce your husband?'' Gray saw this as something strange. He was feeling weird about it. Lucy replied,'' I have made up my mind about it. I am not going to step out of the concession.'' Julia was feeling pissed off now. '' What? Do you understand what you are saying? At this rate, I will reveal everything to grandpa. You don't mind that?''. '' Yes, I know that very well. Do whatever you want to. I don't mind,'' Lucy retorted back without looking at her. Olivia herself also found it quite strange. Hughes was staring at them too. '' Luc you-''. '' What are you both whispering?'' asked a voice in front of them. It was her grandpa.

Given the responsibility
Then a man in his late sixties appears there with a file in his hands. He had grey hair along with black eyes. He had worn a bright smile on his face. '' Grandpa Burns, It's been a long time,'' says Julia hugging onto him. '' Who's this? Julia?'' asked the old man. '' Yes, it's me.'' '' Oh my, you had grown up so much. I can't even recognize you,'' says the man patting her on the head. Olivia and Gray both surround him also. Lucy stayed away from them. '' I am happy to see you, grown-up kids, again,'' comments Burns with a happy smile. '' Come on don't call us kids,'' Hughes says with a grunt. ''' You are right, you are not kids,'' he says then turns to Mr Campbell. '' Master, it's been a long time. How's your health? I heard you had another heart stroke.'' '' Yes, I had managed to survive thanks to everyone. Did you brought what I had told you to?'' Mr Campbell asked Burns.He nodded. While talking he spotted Lucy there standing looking

The bad dream
The charity event was two days later. Lucy and the other siblings were taking care of the goods in their sections.  It was the previous night. They were in the office for a late hour. They were packing the things they will be giving for the charity. Lucy was making sure that the medicines were good and proper.  She stayed in the office, unlike those other siblings. She made sure that everything was a success. '' Hey take of those boxes. You will have to load them in the next morning. And preserve them in cold temperature,'' she instructs the people who were working there.  She takes a seat in the chair in front of her. Then takes a look at the clock in front of her. It was over ten. She had to reach home by then, she also has to go there in the morning.  '' It's tough doing this when you also have to work for office also,'' she says with a sigh. She had been feeling pretty much hu

The charity event P1
It was in the next morning. Lucy and Robin both were done preparing for the speech. Lucy was quite nervous about it but she was more nervous about the dream she had in the morning. When she looked at the clock it was already 10:00 a.m. both of having to reach the charity venue by 11. Lucy had gotten ready in her white dress with heels. When they were about to go out of the house Robin and her something. She made a puzzled face not being able to understand what it was."What is this?" She asked staring at the paper in front of her. " This is the speech prepared by me. This will help you in your speech," Robin said with a smile.A dark shed of red appears in her cheeks. The way he was helping her heart was fluttering. After that Robin hadn't gone out with Christina that much. Even if he had gone out occasionally he always tells her where he is going. Everything was starting to change between them. Lucy is all able to trust him a lot now. He was
