After Lucas had dressed and gone to work, Phoebe went back to her room and began her morning routine. She brushed her teeth, recalling how Lucas had kissed her even with her morning breath, the thought made goosebumps spring out of her arm. She went to the bathroom for a quick shower and while she was at it, her phone rang. She hurriedly took her shower before coming out to check who had called. She opened the notification and on seeing that it was her friend, Annie, she dialed her number but it was busy. As soon as she ended the call, Annie returned the call. “Hello girl,” Phoebe squealed as she put the phone on loudspeakers before dropping it on the bed. She walked to her closet where she began searching for clothes to wear. “Sorry I didn’t pick up the first time you called, I was in the bathroom,” she apologized, as she raised a blue gown to to her eye level but kept it back almost immediately. “It’s alright, I just dropped off at the airport. What is the address again?” Annie'

“Good day ladies, hope I didn't disturb your little party?” Lucas joked as he walked towards them in calculated strides. He was putting on a black suit with a white shirt underneath. His neck button was left undone and the tie he'd worn out that morning was nowhere in sight. The imperfection of his ruffled shirt as he took the suit off only added to the vibe as it exuded masculinity that was hard to resist. Phoebe peeked at her friend to catch a glimpse of her expression at seeing him for the first time and was delighted with the way she stared with mouth agape, the spoon she'd wanted to put in her mouth raised to the air. A smile stole her features as she looked back at him, proud of how his presence alone captured the attention of everyone. Lucas was a man of power who didn't need to say a word as his loud aura did the talking for him, leaving anyone who beheld him stuck in admiration. She was sure her friend would come to love him soon. Lucas’s gaze surveyed the space, pausing

“I warned you to steer clear of him but you went ahead to open your legs like the slut that you are,” Ella hissed as she glared at her through the phone, the hatred and spite very obvious in her stares. “Ella, I am the one you want. Let the woman be, she has nothing to do with this.” Phoebe pleaded calmly, not wanting to give her the satisfaction of knowing the way her heart jumped in fright as she watched Ella play with the knife around Gladys’ neck. Even though Ella's face was expressionless and did nothing to scare her no matter how hard she tried to broaden her grin, Phoebe knew that she was capable of anything and wouldn't think twice to slit Gladys’ throat. She needed to tread carefully. “Lucas said you guys were done, he said you were in his past and…” “Shut up!” Ella yelled at the top of her voice, interrupting Phoebe who shook unconsciously. Ella’s once expressionless face changed into that of one who was ready to kill at the slightest opportunity. “Lucas is mine. H

Looking at her toddler now, a smile curled her lips as she recalled all that had happened. He was a great child. When everyone thought she was going to lose the child, when the doctor advised her to get rid of the child or risk dying herself as her sac had been torn by the knife, she refused, finally seeing the reasons why her mother had also refused. A mother couldn’t just let go of her child and even though it was a stupid thing to do, considering what was at stake, she had bluntly refused. Her little bundle of joy fought right from her womb, he fought to live and in the end, he won. They both did. It turned out that after Phoebe left the house to meet with Ella, Marcy immediately called Annie and Lucas against Phoebe’s wish, explaining everything that happened to them. Lucas had been so furious that he went in the company of Annie to the police station where he had half a dozen men assigned to him by the chief of police to accompany him to the said place. She'd been unconscious f

Phoebe’s features curled up in a smile as she read the text message aloud for the umpteenth time. “Get ready, princess. I have a surprise for you,” she read, trying to mimic Lucas’ baritone voice. Tearing open the package he’d sent her, her gaze fell on a blue sundress that was adorned with sparkly stones. She picked it up and tilted her head to the side, wanting to get a better view of it. The gown had a slit that went up to the middle thigh and had only one hand. Also in the shopping bag was a black six-inch heels and also a black purse to go with it. Without bothering to take her shower first, she hurriedly put the dress on, the little stones glistening as she moped at herself in the mirror. Her smile widened as she glanced at the sophisticated and elegant-looking woman in the mirror. In the last five years, she has changed a lot. Lucas made sure she looked like the women she saw in the social class, as he ravished her with expensive gifts all the time. And her body had al
