Julia’s POVThey all looked back, to the source of the voice as they saw Lucas strolling forward like a perfect gentleman. Then Yvonne whispered in a very low tone. “Oh my god! That’s Mr. Lynwood.” Yvonne’s gaze shifted to Nicole and then to Celeste and then to Lucas.His presence alone commanded fear in them. I could see how they flinched, taking a few steps away from me. He didn’t raise his voice, nor did he need to. His words were cool and calm.Now standing in front of them, he broke the silence. “Are you finished?” Lucas’s gaze swept across Yvonne and then to Nicole. There was a glint in his eyes, it was cold, penetrating, unforgiving. He took a slow step closer while they took a step backwards. “I was in the middle of an important discussion with Miss Wilson,” he continued, “but it seems you have a penchant for interrupting matters far beyond your understanding.”Celeste’s mouth moved but no words came. Perhaps she knew what Lucas was capable of. At least she has seen him multi

Julia’s POVLater that evening, we arrived at Mr. Sterling’s grand building. As soon as we stepped inside, the dining table was already set.From the staircase, midway down, Mr. Sterling caught sight of us. His gaze landed on me first, and a broad smile brightened his face as he called out my name. “Julia!”He began descending the steps eagerly. His arms opened wide, expectant, and I found myself moving toward him almost instinctively with my lips curving out a genuine smile. “It’s so good to see you,” he said, pulling me into a warm embrace. “How are you doing?” I asked softly as I stepped back, my hands still lightly on his arms as my eyes examined him. His eyes softened. “Stronger now that you’re here,” he replied.Carefully, I led him to the head of the table. He sank into his seat with a contented sigh. I took my place beside him, and Alex settled in the chair next to me.Dinner commenced. Mr. Sterling’s joy seemed to grow with every passing moment, his eyes flicking betwee

Julia’s POVScreaming, he fell to the ground and immediately, I didn’t hesitate. My legs moved swiftly as I rushed towards the door, yanking at the handle as I tried to pull it open but it didn’t open at first trial. Panic clawed through me as I pulled harder.It took me a terrible, frantic moment to realize I was pulling the door the wrong way. I was so overwhelmed.Immediately, I switched my grip, shoved the door the other way with trembling hands, and finally, it opened. Without sparing a glance backwards at Alex, I slammed it shut behind me and turned the key in the lock.I could hear him behind the door, spluttering and screaming my name, his voice was filled with rage. “You will regret this! I swear!”I didn’t dare respond as I quickly began to dress up while Alex continued banging the door, as if to break it. Gradually, his knocking stopped.Courageously, I moved slowly towards the bathroom door. Reaching there, I could now clearly hear the sounds of water, as if the shower wa

Julia’s POVAlex rushed in, his eyes darting straight to Celeste who has dramatically slumped against the sink. Her hands were shaking slightly all of a sudden and her tears had somehow stayed perfectly in place, smudging her mascara just enough to make her look like a victim.“Alex!” she wailed, before he could even open his mouth, she spoke again. “She tried to attack me. And look!” She grabbed the hem of her dress, showing it toward him to reveal the soggy stain of tomato juice. “She splashed this all over me! I was only trying to make lunch.” She added, her voice sounding more like a whisper as she buried her face on Alex’s shoulder. I didn’t even try to defend myself. Not yet. I stood there, arms crossed, watching the scene. I wasn’t afraid of what will come next.Then Alex’s jaw clenched as he turned to me. “What the hell is wrong with you, Julia?” he snapped as he approached me, grabbing my wrist with force. “You’ve crossed the line this time. You’re lucky I’m even still tol

Julia’s POVHis eyes were cold. “You always resort to tricks when things don’t go your way,” he snapped. “You think I’ve forgotten how low you once stooped just to crawl into my bed?” He paused and continued. He didn’t hesitate. “Don’t play innocent. The times you wore those revealing clothes around me, pretending it was just coincidence. Giving me those late-night massages, lingering touches, hoping I’d forget everything and fall for you.”I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. I remembered those nights. That was the old me, in love.“That was in the past Alex. Your presence irritates me right now so tell me why I would want to drug you just to be with you? Wake up from your world of imagination.” I added. “Oh, really? You act like you don’t want me but yet, you always attack Celeste out of jealousy. That’s all you do!” “Alex please stop.”He scoffed. “Feeling guilty ? You did it because you were desperate. And now this? Drugging me to keep me here? It’s pathetic.” He added. “I
