Lucas glared down at his phone with frustration over his last call. Mason had always had his back in the past, they always had each other’s backs. Why had the tables suddenly turned? Is Mason on his uncle’s side now? Or could it be that Davis is forcing Mason to act against him?He ran his hand through his hair as he tried to collect himself. Davis wasn’t happy when he heard about what happened between him and his so-called fiance. At first, as expected, Lucas didn’t care one bit until what Mason had just told him.“If I don’t make a better effort to make my marriage with Daisy look real then I’ll be sacrificing my job at my own father’s company and likely sell it off to Daisy’s father? That can’t be right…” Lucas kept his thoughts off of his tongue. The only thing that mattered right now was making a better impression.Mason had called him to report that his uncle needed to see him and it was not good news. Not to mention that Lucas is currently late for work since he overslept at Ar

Mason’s silence turned from annoying to worrisome. The look in the man’s dimly lit eyes expressed that not only was he hiding something, but he was also afraid of something as well. “Mason?” Lucas’s voice changed into a lighter one as he took a step closer to the quiet man.Mason’s hung head quickly lifted again and he forced a smile on his dry lips. “I’ve been talking to a woman lately. I’m sorry that I got defensive. After my wife divorced me, this is a little difficult for me and I’m trying to put myself back out there.”Lucas stared at him for a few seconds as he tried to read his thoughts through his expression alone. His smile was forced. Though his words made sense, of course trying to get used to being in a relationship again after his nasty divorce would leave anybody a nervous wreck because their trust would’ve been shattered almost beyond repair. And yet, something about it just felt awful. It had to have been the look in Mason’s eyes that was making it hard for Lucas to b

Lucas could feel himself immediately sweat when he came face to face with the three shady people that his uncle hired once again. Only this time they showed their true colors. Nonetheless, Lucas did his best to remain calm and in control of both himself and the situation.“The money? Are you all seriously bothering me over that? Look, I told you that I’d give you the rest of it once I get it! I have my hands busy right now. Now, if you’ll excuse me–” The woman quickly held the metal baseball bat up to point at his skull. “Nah, ah, ah… not so fast. Our hands are busy as well and we could use the cash to get our hands unbusy.” her eyes narrowed dangerously. “Give us everything you got on you.” Lucas’s jaw dropped in shock and he protested immediately. “You can’t be serious! I don’t even have half of what you need back!”“Stop flapping your lips and give us all of your money!” The man beside the woman with the baseball bat finally spoke up in a deep bark, making Lucas flinch since he w

“Roxanne…?” Aria whispered to herself as her heart pounded in her chest from overhearing things that weren’t meant for her ears. Not only did her heart race in her chest but it also throbbed in pain to the point it felt like it was shattering. She could feel tears begin to bead up in the corner of her eyes and she leaned away from the door, she couldn’t bear to hear any more of the conversation between her cruel, selfish boss and the man that she was slowly starting to form affection for.“What was I hoping for in the first place? The man has amnesia, he’d probably assume that I’m just taking advantage of that…” Aria thought to herself as she wiped her eyes with her wrists. Even though she kept telling herself that it was okay because it never would’ve worked out anyway, not if he remembered everything about their past together, it still hurt. And she felt like a fool for hurting in the first place. “I should’ve just ignored his flirts and made it very clear that I’m not interested in
