Mrs. King sniffed and looked up at him, staring at him for a longer time than necessary. She wondered if this is the man Kristen wants to get married to. With the way he was over Kristen and worrying about her, there was no doubt he was the one. She will be more than happy to know that he is the one. The thoughts warmed her heart that Kristen actually found herself a man who unmistakably will love her, no doubt.Lucian noticed her stares and his mind fled."What would I tell her if she asked after Frederick ?"He panicked in his mind but what he heard next took his fears away in a blink of an eye. It was unbelievable to him"You must be the man my daughter is involved with?" Lucian nodded quickly and smiled to himself, "This is great. It means she doesn't know about Frederick at all.""Oh, my goodness. I am glad that you are here. My daughter will recover quickly "Mrs. King went back to a sobbing mood. Lucian rolled his eyes inwardly but smiled sadly," It hurts me to see her her

Both ladies turned towards the door. They saw Lucian standing at the door. Lucian looked furious, his dark brown lock slightly messy and unkempt. His eyebrows were furrowed and his jaw was clenched. The anger evident on his face was enough for both ladies to look frightened. Without breaking his glare he said. "If I ever hear you talk to Kristen or even near her like that again or try to hit her, I promise you that you won't be able to walk again because what I will do to your legs, heaven knows." Lucian threatened. He was seething with fury, and his hands formed into tight fists at his side. Cherry gulped and backed off instantly, not daring to move a muscle, her eyes were on his face. She has never been this afraid. Something about Lucian itches her and she can't tell what it is. How he ended up being the man Kristen wants to settle down with doesn't add up because she knows Frederick was supposed to be the man or from what her father told her, Frederick's father has obj

"Do you recognize this?" Lucian said, pulling out the photo he had squeezed earlier. Stephen was shocked to see that photo in Lucian's possession. He had made sure that this picture was not seen by anyone. It has been safely kept. How did it get out?"What happened now? Are you shocked to see it?" Lucian mocked him," I hear you are with my woman's s*xtape? Let us start from there" Stephen's stomach lurched at what he heard. He didn't like where this conversation was heading." what will you do about it?""What am I supposed to do about it? Make you give them up of course. Or do you think I am here to joke with you?" Lucian said, leaning forward menacingly. Stephen held his ground trying not to back down under his gaze, but Lucian wasn't giving him an inch. Stephen could feel his heartbeat picking up and the sweat starting to trickle down his body."I don't know what you want me to say"Lucian leaned back, his demeanor changing drastically as he stared hard at Stephen. "You

Kristen hesitated but seeing the look on Lucian's face, she obliged. His expression might be softened but he is breathing fire inside him and she knew this. She quietly walked into the car and closed the door then faced Lucian and Frederick. The sound of the closing door made every fiber in his body rise. Lucian took a step close to Frederick and glared at him darkly," Why are you pestering my wife?"The ground in which Frederick stood, shook under him and he nearly lose balance, if not that he held himself. What he heard was a bomb to his ears and a thorn to his feet. "Two weeks and Kristen is married?"He wondered blankly in his mind. His blood began to boil and he clenched his fist so tight his knuckles turned white. He felt anger bubbling in his veins, it was consuming. The anger was rising inside of him, his vision blurred and he became dizzy, the sound of Lucian's voice faded away from his ears as he tried to catch his breath. All he could think about was Kristen, how dare she

Gabby stared at Frederick who continuously sipped his whiskey, both have been in absolute silence for a few minutes now. Gabby just arrived and found his brother cheerfully which he seems not to understand, for someone who has been in a bad mood now for two weeks. Frederick had left home and had decided not to return after he could not find Kristen. Their father had threatened to replace him with Gabby but Gabby was simply not interested in being the family heir. Frederick's condition for going back home is if he finds Kristen and that is seemingly impossible as far as Gabby is concerned. He was surprised to get a call from Frederick asking to come to see him, he was not just surprised because Frederick called but the fact that Frederick is in a good mood. "Maybe he had gotten over Kristen," He had thought. "So, what's up, bro?"Gabby was careful with his question, he had no idea what could be running through his brother's mind, and in order to not incur his wrath, he would ne
