Semua Bab The Faceless Heiress and The Mysterious Bodyguard: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Lucia settled into her luxurious car, not letting her eyes fall back on her bodyguard. Hugh was like a breath of fresh air, for her, even though she had been very sad, minutes ago, he alleviated her sadness. She turned around when she heard Hugh, settle into the driver's seat."Do you want to go back home?" Hugh asked her. He treated Lucia like a little sister, acting oblivious to her feelings. Lucia pouted her lips, and Hugh chuckled, seeing that she looked nothing like the decisive woman, she was. Hugh waited patiently, for her answer, not starting the car.She sighed seeing that Hugh, was waiting for her reply. She composed herself, the sad emotions, and embarrassment she had gone through, gone from her face. "Let's go back, to the ancestral home, I need to see grandpa," Lucia said, in a steady voice. Hugh nodded and started the car.Lucia looked out the window, as Hugh drove out of Veteris street. She knew, that she wouldn't be coming here until everything settled until she had ca

Lucia stood up, and swayed, a little. Her legs, were stiff, due to the long hours of sitting at the same spot. Lucia looked up to the clock, hung on the wall, she gasped, seeing it was 6:30 am already, surprised, that she worked for so long.Lucia walked out of her study, with dark circles, around her eyes. She looked drained, but Lucia didn't feel like that at all. As Lucia, walked out of the study, she heard Hugh come in. She stared at him, because he looked so manly and sweaty, after his morning jog.Lucia gulped, as she could see the outline, of his toned abdomen, through his body-hugging shirt. She wasn't the slightest bit, ashamed that she was staring at Hugh, while he was looking back at her. Hugh, on the other hand, couldn't stand her gaze, he coughed to get her attention.Lucia frowned at Hugh, for interrupting her, with his sudden cough. She shamelessly said, "I was checking you out, and you interrupted me." Lucia said, walking past him, to go to her bedroom. As she walked p

Time was ticking, news was flying around. A reporter caught sight of Grandpa James being wheeled out of the building. Grandpa James' pictures, were all over the internet. People speculated that grandpa James was on his deathbed. This news spread widely, more than the original news that was released.The shareholders of the company were going into an uproar. They didn't care about grandpa James but profits. They knew that grandpa James didn't have an heir, to take over the company. They thought that it was their chance. The shareholders quickly got to the hospital, to see grandpa James.They could easily coax grandpa James to give up the company, to one of them. The one with the sweetest mouth would win. Lucas, grandpa James' assistant, had caught on to the shareholders' plans. But, he could not divulge that grandpa James had an heir, he hadn't seen, clearly, before.Lucas arrived at the hospital earlier, he could see a few reporters lurking around the hospital grounds. Some of the repo

Hugh sighed tiredly, he felt X was a disturbance to him, but he couldn't even hang up the call on him. He quickly cut X off, "I know what I'm doing. I prefer it here than to stay with those hypocrites over there." Hugh explained, keeping his words subtle.The driver was looking at Hugh through the mirror above him. X sighed over the phone, deciding to drop the topic, but he said, "I would not be there when anything happens. I will dump you fair and square." X sounded like a lover to Hugh now. Hugh chuckled amusedly.X snorted back at Hugh, deep down in his mind. He knew he couldn't abandon Hugh when anything happens. He had always been helping Hugh, even though he was way older than Hugh. "What do you want to inquire about?" X asked, curiously, since Hugh had not brought it up.Right at that moment, the driver stopped before an apartment building. Hugh got out of the car and paid the cab driver and walked into the parking lot. He didn't pass through the lobby, preferring to use the el

"You want some?" Hugh asked. Lucia looked at Hugh but shook her head. Her eyes were fixed on the egg-fried rice. Hugh ate his food, slowly, taunting Lucia. He expected Lucia to grab the food, from him. As it was only a little left. Hugh was surprised Lucia did not.Hugh finished his food and put the used plates in the dustbin. They weren't reusable, so he had no need for them. Lucia was still sulking and Hugh moved closer to her. "Are you upset?" Hugh asked softly. His tone of voice surprised Lucia and she looked at him, skeptically. Hugh noticed the question in her eyes. He had always been cold towards her. Even though he cared about her, he wouldn't actively show it, as how he did now. Hugh wanted to hug Lucia. He knew she would gladly hug, but he didn't want to take advantage of that.Lucia looked at him, with a sly smirk on her face. The surprised and questioning gaze was gone from her eyes. She wouldn't exploit this rare side of Hugh, to her satisfaction. She didn't know that th
