Mother's Grave

A black car drove down the deserted street, leading to Lucia's mother's house. She sat in the car, her face serene, she looked out of the window, her gaze falling on the empty buildings of the deserted street. She sighed, as she remembered her childhood days, here at Veteris street.She was pulled out of her sad thoughts when Hugh called to her. "Lucia, we're here, step down," Hugh said, his voice cold and his face, blank. Lucia nodded and stepped out of the car, she did not mind that Hugh, her bodyguard, had addressed her, by her first name. Hugh followed behind Lucia, as she walked to a black gate. The gate looked old and rusty, it creaked loudly, as she pushed it open. A shabby house came into view. The house had been abandoned, for years, just like other houses, on Veteris street. Overgrown, grasses, were everywhere.The window panes were covered with dust, and the floor leading towards the front door was also covered in dust. Lucia walked between the grasses, she heard Hugh's vo

Lucia's Worry

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

Spark

Lucia turned in her sleep, as the rain splattered, loudly, on the window. Lucia shivered subconsciously, as thunder, struck, in the sky. In her sleep, she could see her hands, stained in blood, her mother's blood. Lucia continued to turn uneasily, on the bed.Still, in her sleep, Lucia desperately tried to get the blood off her hands, but she could not. Dipping her hands, and washed thoroughly in water. But, Lucia could still see blood, like it was fresh. It was frightening, for Lucia in her sleep. Lucia heard a voice, behind her.'You killed her.' Lucia heard the voice and turned. It was like a whisper to her soul, sinking into her subconscious. Lucia shook her head, desperately, trying to tell the owner of the voice, that it was not true, but Lucia could not see anyone, she only continued to hear the voice.As Lucia shook her head, in her sleep, she was turning all over the bed, squeezing the bed sheets. Lucia opened her eyes suddenly, her eyes were misty and dazed. It took two minu

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

Sudden Illness

Hugh stepped out of the car, first. He scanned the area, for any threats or persons. When it was clear, he opened the car door, and Lucia stepped out, gracefully. The duo walked to the private elevator, that led to the highest floor, of the company building. Lucia brought out a key card, from her bag, and swiped it. The elevator opened, and they both stepped in. Again, Hugh was near Lucia and subtly looked at her. Lucia was tapping her foot, on the floor of the elevator, waiting to get to the top floor.As they got to the top floor, the elevator creaked open, and Lucia was quick to spot, the five secretaries, working for her grandpa James. It was also not Lucia's first time there, and the secretaries knew better than to comment or stop her, from going into the CEO's office.The secretaries were three females and two males. One of the two males, working also as grandpa James' assistant. None of them had ever seen Lucia's face. As Lucia and Hugh passed by them, a nosy secretary whisper

Cunning

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

Viral News

Hugh walked into the elevator, on the top floor. Grandpa James' ICU was on the top floor, and also Lucia's resting ward. Pressing a button, he rode the elevator, to the last floor of the hospital's lobby, which was noisy. He took out his phone, to call grandpa James' assistant. Grandpa James had provided Hugh, with his assistant's phone number. Just in case, there was an emergency. Hugh dialed the number, as soon as he got to the last floor, at that time. Lucas on the other hand, took out his phone, tiredly, hearing his phone ring, in his pocket. He noticed it was an unsaved contact, and Lucas put the phone back into his pocket. It was unreasonable for him to do so. But Lucas had his fair share of the reporters' disturbance. He wondered who had leaked his private number, to the public. Hugh frowned, as he walked past Lucas and the shareholders. His eyes were glued to the phone, not noticing Lucas, who was a few feets away from him. On the other hand, Lucas noticed Hugh, but he did n

Dangerous Grounds

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

Blue Eyes

Hugh got into the elevator, with Lucas who squeezed into it. When the elevator was about to close. Hugh had his back to Lucas. Lucas stared at his back, and couldn't help but wonder who Hugh really is. Hugh was carefree with him, a while ago, now, he was cold.Lucas tapped his feet, on the elevator floor. He watched as the number changed as they pass through floors. The familiar sound of the elevator rang out, as they got to the top floor. Hugh walked out and led Lucas to Lucia's resting ward. He took out the ward key.Lucas raised his brows in surprise when Hugh opened the door. 'Is she caged?' Lucas thought inwardly. They walked in and Lucia who was sleeping soundly in bed opened her eyes suddenly. She felt the presence of people in the ward. She felt the bed she slept on, for her mask. Lucas looked at Lucia on the bed intently. Her face was facing the wall. He could see her side profile, but he couldn't make anything out of it. As Lucia had hurriedly put on her mask, hiding her fa

Stolen Kiss

"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
