" I can't give you a clue why Derrick is in a foul mood as you just explained . I called him few minutes before you got here and he sounded alright. So I can't really say " Lucien said to Thelma who was looking worried . They had just finished eating and Thelma who had a worried look on couldn't eat much which made Lucia ask what the problem was. " Ok I hope he gets over what ever is bothering him , since he doesn't feel like sharing " she said and Lucia rubbed her back to ease her worries . " He will be fine. Lover girl , calm down " Lucia said with a grin and Thelma chuckled . " Talking about lover girl, what's going on between you and my boss " she asked winking at Lucien who was itching his neck nervously and Lucia who moved her eyes around the ceiling . " Wow your expressions are so amusing ," Thelma said and laughed .. " So how is the wedding planning going " Lucia asked avoiding the topic . Thelma grinned on knowing what she was doing but decided to let her feel she has

43Thelma pulled over in the garage of her house as she was about opening the door , her phone started ringing and she brought it out to see that Lucia was calling .She relaxed back in the seat of the car as she swiped the answer button on the caller screen ." Hey babe " she said smiling sheepishly. " Hey Thelma . " Lucia's voice echoed ." Yeah do you miss me so much to have called me few minutes of leaving the house . " Thelma said and she could swear that Lucia would roll her eyes at her now ." Well stop hyping yourself and listen " she said with an authorative voice and Thelma chuckled. ." Ok go on " she replied. " The question you asked ,, about me loving Lucien today ...She paused before continuing ..." I love him a lot and I just realized that I feel incomplete without him " Lucia said and Thelma squealed in excitement making Lucia pull the phone away from her ears to prevent blockage. Lucia returned the phone back to her ears when she heard the laughter die down ." S

45Lucien opened his laptop as he entered the room .Lucia had gone out to get a few things. .He opened it and went to his mail because that was where the business deals were being made ,He saw the one from Cara and he opened it ." Wow Cara just signed a business deal . He cant be more than proud of her . He scrolled down and saw the invite and creased his elbow.Why had they requested his presence also Cara was the one who made the deal not him so why this. He sighed , he had no other choice because he just had to go and it would not be nice if Cara goes alone . It won't tell good of the company .He sent her a mail back that he would be coming then and congratulated her for securing the new deal .He can't wait to tell Lucia but he hopes she doesn't get mad that he would be making an impromptu travel tomorrow . He rubbed his head as he remembered Thelma's call ." Hello Lucien , a simple question. Do you love Lucia " she asked .Lucien was taken aback by her question but quick

47Escape ..Camilla ducked as she saw some men approaching .Thank goodness the place was not heavily guarded due to few goods there ..She looked around and noticed the two men taking another direction and she heaved a sigh of relief .She moved further there she met Dos waiting .She really wanted to hug , kiss and do anything close to him now but she knew this wasn't the right time .Without saying anything she jumped on Dos back and he threw down the role as they slid down immediately .Dr Albert had already opened the escape door for them and they quickly ran out. The emergency button went on immediately and the guards became alerted ." They are escaping , get them " the head guard shouted and they started firing bullets but they were quick to enter Dr Albert's car which was already waiting for them .Before the doctor could get in and drive off , a bullet grazed his hand leaving an injury there .The gunshot not deterring him , he got in and drove off as they chased them .Dr

49Mr Gavier stabbed the chief guard deeper and screwed it in harder .He was really angry and could kill the whole team for being so stupid but he was going to vent his anger on the chief guard and five of his men .He was still dealing with the chief guard while the other guards bent down waiting for who would be killed .They were about fifty in number and all of them were apprehensive on who would die next. After making sure the chief guard was dead , he walked to his guard and grabbed another one .He shook in fright as he brought him to the front and before they knew what was happening a loud scream was heard and Gavier drew out the knife and let him fall to the ground ." Weak being " he said with a scoff and wiped the blood on the knife on the dead guard's shirt ." I will finish this up tomorrow " he said and started walking out .He turned back with the cold look on as usual " Clear up this place and I don't want no traces of blood or even a stench of blood neither do I w
