LUCIUS I took another look at the small fancy bag that was beside me in the car. It contained a lipstick and a pair of earrings that I wasn't too sure I had picked out correctly. Reaching for the bag, I held it for a few seconds before dropping it back on the car seat. The matte peach colored lipstick would definitely look great on Lisa's lips and the pair of diamond pearl earrings had to look great too. The car stopped in front of the mansion and I picked the bag back into my left hand, grabbing my suitcase with my right hand. The door was pulled open and I stepped out, my gaze on the woman walking towards me in a half limp and half run. Damn... Just how much did I wreck her legs?She spread her arms as she got to me and I spread mine a bit for her. Lisa threw herself on me, wrapping her hands around me and hugging me for a few seconds. My left hand wrapped around her waist and held her close to me back. Those few seconds of hugging her made me feel alive and it felt like my lif

MONALISAI walked into my room, my insides boiling with anger but my anger wasn't at him but at myself. Was this just who I was? Was I someone who wasn't lovely enough to be kept around for long?I looked into the mirror and stared at my reflection. I looked beautiful but I didn't feel beautiful anymore. I had looked into this same mirror yesterday and I had looked and felt beautiful but not anymore. Lucius' eyes had held something I couldn't decipher and the best I could do eventually was to conclude that he didn't want me anymore. I thought about going back home but decided against it. He had carefully and firmly stated that I wasn't to leave and even if I left, I was staying right opposite so was that even me leaving?My heart clenched and I felt a hurt that I had hardly ever felt. It hurt like the day I had found Francesca in bed with Bryant. It hurt like the moment Francesca had said those rude and harsh words to me. I plopped down to the edge of my bed and then laid on the be

MONALISAThe car was going at an insane speed but I couldn't say a word. Lucius had thrown me over his shoulders immediately after he had said those words to me and he had taken me to the car. He was driving and I had no idea where he was driving us to. A hand was on the steering and the other hand was on my thigh. And I know I am fucked up to be noticing this right now but he looked hot driving with one hand. I could see his sharp jawline, and his veiny hand clutching the steering wheel looked so... Hot. His hand on my thigh squeezed it softly and I felt my insides tighten. He glanced at me, his beautiful eyes locking with mine for a second before he looked away once again and focused on driving. In a few minutes, we were in a prestigious area and he swerved into the open gates of a mansion. He parked in front of the main mansion and I looked out of the window, wondering where we were and why we were here. Before I could ask a question, he had leaned in and I felt my breath hit

LUCIUSI caressed Lisa's face gently while she slept deeply. She looked so beautiful in her sleep, her arms thrown around me and her hair in her face. "Beautiful" I whispered before kissing her forehead. I had fallen deeply in love with her already and I wondered how she was going to take it if I told her about my feelings for her. Would she be excited, tell me she feels the same and would want us to actually date? Or would she tell me that a real relationship between us is impossible and she doesn't feel anything other than lust for me?I had never been rejected before. Primarily because I had never fell in love before. It kinda sucks though, feeling this way and yet it feels beautiful in a way. "Lisa" I whispered her name gently as if calling it any louder would wake her up anyways. I tucked her hair gently behind her ears and then moved my hand gently to her her eyes, then down to her nose and then to her lips. Beautiful, soft and plump. She stirred a bit in her sleep but d

MONALISA"For the thousandth time, I wasn't worried" Irene said over the phone, assuring me that it was okay. "We talked on phone this morning and I clearly told you that I wasn't worried. I saw Mr. Devine leaving with you and although I didn't understand why he had come to get you, I wasn't worried" she added. "I am glad" I mumbled. "But Lisa...""Yes?""I have a question that might sound a bit weird"My brows arched. "Weird? In what way?" I asked. "Is Mr. Devine just a father figure to you and nothing more? Are you sure he is just that? I know this sounds as weird as hell and I am sorry I am asking but...""It's fine" I cut her off even though it wasn't fine. At all. My heart had started racing, wondering what Irene had seen last night. Did she see him wrapping his arms around me and keeping me close? "He is just a father figure to me and he has been one for years. Lots of years now" I replied. "Oh, I see.""Why did you ask?" I questioned. "Nothing. Just... Just because" I c
