-Conner’s POV-I am in rage! It has been three days since the search for my wife has started and I am truly disappointed. How big is Brisbane for them to not immediately locate my wife?! This is frustrating! Where could she be? I couldn’t sleep well knowing that my wife is somewhere out there on her own and it’s all my fault. Paperworks were piled on the table, but I couldn’t think well. I-I can’t go on like this. I have to concentrate because people are depending on me. I’m going insane! I took out a folder and reviewed its contents when my phone rang. I checked who was calling and it was Ronald. I answered the call in a trance wanting nothing, but good news from him. “Hello, Mr. Lowell.” Ronald started saying when I answered his call. “I’m not really sure how to start, but I want you to know that I want to be loyal to you, but I also want to be loyal to Lucy.” What the heck is Ronald doing. I impatiently groaned and just wanted him to be direct to the point. “Can you cut the crap an

-Lucy’s POV- I am not sure if what I am doing is right especially that I will be using Chris again to escape from this whole mess that I am in, but I think that I don’t have any other choice. When I asked him if he could take me away he blinked a couple of times trying to digest and let everything sink in. When he figured things out, he held both of my arms and caressed them softly as he gave me a sweet smile. “Lucy, you are truly extraordinary. You never failed to amuse me.” Now, it was my turn to be confused. What is he trying to say? “You are smart woman.” He continued. “and since you are a smart woman. I think you know better that this is not the way to solve things out. We don’t want to do things that we might regret in the long run especially now that you have an angel inside your belly.” He gently placed his hand over my still small belly. Conner was trying to restrain himself from striding towards us and Ronald was quick enough to sense that for he placed his hand

Lucy’s POV-Is he trippin’? His voice is firm, but his eyes are soft. It’s an enchanting gaze like a spell was casted on me and just couldn’t say no. Ok fine, I get it. Better near than in the same room. Oh please Lucy, it’s all over your nerves. It’s almost obvious that it is screaming Conner’s name. Are you certain you wouldn’t go knocking on Conner’s door tonight to be in his arms, tough momma? The argument of my alter ego is just as annoying as ever. But I swear the endearment in his eyes are awfully tempting. Still, looks like I simply don’t have any choice, but to give in to Conner’s request. I crossed my arms across my chest, “You just don’t give me any choice, do you? This is all your fault! I shouldn’t be hiding this way and be fearing for the our safety if it wasn’t for your rivalry!” Suddenly my hormones are kicking in and I just want to put on a fight with Conner. “Mr. Conner Lowell! You better make this right! Straighten this mess that you made with that Bernard Yates so

-Conner’s POV I arrived at Texas with a goal in my mind and that is to put an end to the feud I have with Bernard Yates and ensure the safety of Lucy and our baby. Alfred and I are on our way to Mr. Fredrick Ace to clarify the situation and make a deal with him to give the Phoenix project to Bernard Yates for a good reason. I entered Mr. Ace’s office and saw him sitting, waiting for me there. I lent my hand for a shake and greeted him, Mr. Ace, thank you so much for giving me your time. I know you have a lot on your plate and I am greatly honored for the chance that you gave me.” Mr. Ace took my hand and said, “I know you won’t fly here all of a sudden for no good reason. There’s something behind this and I intend to know what. So, Mr. Lowell what’s the catch?” He led us to the couch near his table for us to sit comfortably while we talk. I sat before I said, “Well, Mr. Ace I think you already know why I am here.” He smirked, “I might, but I want to be sure what you really

-Lucy's POV-Laura made a sharp gasp, “Are you insulting me?” Oooh, I think you hit a nerve there, Lucy. Good job! I am so proud of you! Don’t let that b*tch pull you down. “Insulting is an overstatement. I am just merely telling you the truth.” Laura is so mad that her face looks so agitated I could laugh. “How dare you say that to me! Have you forgotten who I am?!” Laura’s voice shivered because of anger. However, I kept my composure and prepared to rebuttal. “Oh I remember who you are. You are Laura Rodriguez, the wife of Philip Rodriguez and a housewife, am I right?” At that moment it felt like her nostrils would explode, “YOU! Honey! Look at her she’s mocking me!” I really thought she would attack me, but she breathed instead and clung unto her husband purring like a slutty kitty-cat. Her husband looked at me with a smirk on his mouth, “You really think you are a boss? Well, maybe you are because a trash like you was picked up by a golden crane. You should be thankful that you ma
