Chapter 11: Pulling strings
On the other side of town, Prince Hakeem was busy pulling strings as he sat calmly at his desk while his close hand, Sultan, stood close by, in trembling silence.He was never sure of the duty his boss would assign to him and he was damn sure he would die of ulcer one day.“What’s the latest update on the woman?” Hakeem asked his assistant without lifting his head from the documents he was reading.“Report says she is presently at the mall with that other woman, sir, and they are having a good time chopping for her new friend and her son.” The PA reported in a nervous voice.When it comes to this woman’s issue, his boss was not a calm man so Sultan is always on his toes and at alert.“Okay. Make sure the team keeps their eyes on them. I want to know every one of her moves but she must never suspect she is being trailed.” He instructed calmly, still concentrating on the papers.“Okay sir. Everything will be done neatly.” He promised.With a small nod, Hakeem casually dismissed him.Rel

Chapter 12: Meeting of souls
“So, aunt Lucianda, when am I going to meet your son, Julian?” As far as Sammie was concerned, that’s the most important thing today. Meeting the five years old boy Lucianda had told him about.“Soon, I am sure. He will be somewhere in the house and sooner than later he will find us before we find him.” Luci said with a small laugh and Sammie giggled while his mum also smiled.“I cannot wait. The world is boring without a friend.” He said this in a long suffering tone and his mum was aghast.“Sammie.” She called chidingly.“But it’s the truth, mum. You always tell me to tell the truth.” He insisted with a pointed look at his mum and she returned his look with a glare.Laughing so hard that she hurt, Lucianda bent forward to ruffle his full hair that needed a good cut.“I love your honesty, son.” Luci told him encouragingly.Turning to glance at his mum, he gave a satisfied smirk.Laura rolled her eyes. “Don’t encourage him, Luci.”“Oh please, free the innocent boy. He is of course rig

Chapter 14: The Rejection
With his continuous silence, Lucianda felt he wanted out and she would be forced to actually make good on her threats.“I will appreciate it if you can take your leave now, since you obviously have nothing to say for yourself.” She continued in that cold tone, while praying he would say something to make her change her mind about sacking him.Seeing that the madam was angry, he turned for the door and left. Lucianda wanted to scream as she watched him leave.When he closed the library door behind him, Lucianda felt so frustrated by the turn of events, she picked the coffee cup on the table and threw it against the wall.It was when she saw the shattering mess on the floor, she realised she just destroyed another memory of Alex Castos. That was his favourite coffee mug.What a message!Just as Lucianda picked another thing to throw, in order to vent her anger, she saw the man standing by the door and she froze.Lost in her thoughts, she did not hear the door being opened.Slightly amus

Chapter 15: The readiness of war
Few minutes later, she was out of the door, and when she saw her personal chauffeur waiting calmly for her beside the car, she gave a brisk nod in response to his greetings.“Drive to Sixth Avenue, James. We are going to the Kindles and Lawyers complex.” After this, Lucianda put her head on the headrest and closing her eyes, she planned her moves.Thirty something minutes later, her chauffeur informed her of their arrival to the location and Luci took a deep breath before glancing at the tall building in front of them.Popular for no other reason than the fact that the best lawyers in the city could be found in the complex building, It had of course made Sixth Avenue a popular one in the city.Lucianda did not have an appointment and so she was not expected, but she was not planning to let that deter her. She only hoped the person she was coming to see would be on seat.Though she had never met Tony James, she had of course heard of the young man. A native of America, he was in his e

Chapter 16: The Surprise
When the calm looking lawyer saw Lucianda, a flash of light came into his eyes also and he blinked in surprise before the mask of professionalism came over his expression. He moved closer with a business-like smile. “Mrs Castos? I was told you would like to see me?” Even though they were all aware she practically forced her way in, none of his manners showed it.“Hello, Mr. James. How are you doing?” Moving forward, Luci stretched her right hand for an amiable handshake and then tilting her head to the side to access the man she had come to see, she gave a radiant smile that transformed the whole of her expression from Beautiful to Exceptional.Tony James was human after all? He could not take his eyes away.Even his secretary could not control the small gasp that came out of her lips. ‘Who could have believed one person would pack such a dollop of smile? And just imagine, she had not thought it necessary to bless me with it.’ Miffed, she glared at Lucianda in mild jealousness.To s

Chapter 17: The Letdown
Finally, she was going to get the justice she had been looking for.“Thank you Tony, I feel reassured now that I have met you, and please, call me Lucianda, Luci for short.” She told him with a beaming smile and Tony James returned it with a cute smile of his own.“Okay Lucianda. Now I will need some information from you, so we can start work on this person as soon as possible.” He took some blank papers from the corner of his desk to make notations.“So can you tell me briefly exactly when and how this man took over your husband’s companies? What really transpired between them, do you know?” He asked in a kind voice.Luci grimaced before answering. “Sincerely, I can only tell you about the time it all happened. What transpired between them was not something I was privy to. All I know is, my late husband so much hated and feared this man, he was like a bitter medicine in his mouth every time his name was mentioned.” Luci recalled with another grim twist of her lips.Tony James made qu

Chapter 18: The Visit
Two days later, Lucianda was waiting for Julian to come down the stairs so they could play their favourite game, when an unexpected visitor walked in nonchalantly, as if that particular house and the universe belonged to him.Deep in thought, it took Lucianda some minutes before she could believe her eyes, and even at that, she only stopped questioning her brain and eyes when he coughed slightly to let her know he was indeed real and in her house. To torment her, she assumed.Jumping up so fast that her head almost left her neck, Luci asked with an angry voice that was nevertheless obvious for its shakiness.“What the hell are you doing here?” She honestly could not believe he would have the audacity to show up in her home.For days, the beast had kept her on her toes in her bid to stop him from uprooting everything she held dear for her son.“Language, language, language Mrs. Castos. Do you think our dear boy would be happy to see his mum doing that?” He asked genially in a patronisi

Chapter 19: The Old Demon
A kiss was the last thing Lucianda was expecting and when she felt his hard lips on her mouth, Lucianda went into immediate shock as she stood frozen in his arms.Encouraged when he felt no resistance, Hakeem opened his mouth more widely to better enjoy the fun of kissing the woman in his arms. Never had he tasted such sweetness before from any woman. Just imagine what the rest of her will taste like.Unable to stop this thought, Hakeem became bolder as he moved his hand below her waist to trail his hands into her shirt. Moving fast before she could stop him, he raised her top as he exposed her breasts in the cup of her bra. Tempted to move further, he grabbed a rosy breast in his palm. Shocked by the electric current that went through his body, he released a breast from the lace bra and without bothering to check if she was with him or not, he bent his head and took her nipple into his hot mouth for a deep suckle. And immediately, he almost collapsed with her in his arms. So pleas

Chapter 20: The Promise
Taking a deep breath, Lucianda moved closer to kneel in front of her son so they could see eye to eye.“Where did you learn that, son? Who told you such rubbish?” Lucianda asked in an angry tone that showed she was not pleased with whoever burdened her son with such responsibility.“I did not learn it from anywhere, Mum. Dad told me before he died. Prince Hakeem was his enemy and a hungry bastard who took over daddy’s properties.” Julian said bluntly, uncaring that the man in question was standing two meters away from him.Blanching from the unusual cuss words coming out of her good son’s mouth, Luci almost collapsed from the shock as she glanced at the “bastard” they were talking about. Of course, despite the fact that he must be feeling some surprise himself, the “hungry bastard” showed no emotion as he kept his gaze on Julian. Lucianda did not know what to think as she focused her gaze back on her son.‘So Alex Castos had prepared for his own downfall and he had made sure he pois
