“Your PTSD has reduced greatly. You seem to be more stable these days. Keep up with the good energy.” Doctor Mark acknowledged with a smile on his face. Lucas nodded, sighing in relief. “I think it has something to do with having a good partner by one’s side. The energy has been positive, making it impossible for me to crave drugs.” “That’s good. I’m still waiting to attend your grand wedding ceremony though.” Doctor Mark teased. Lucas shrugged. “That won’t take long before it happens.” He chuckled at the end. “I need to go back to the office now. Thank you for your time, Doc.” Together, the men stood up from their chairs and shook hands. “Thank you for coming, Mr Reed.” Doctor Mark watched him leave, his door shutting after Lucas. He nodded with a big smile on his face. “A good partner always does the trick.” He muttered to himself. Meanwhile, Lucas stepped out of the hospital, and his phone began to vibrate in his pants.He grumbled as he pulled the phone out. Carl stepped ou

Clarissa stood by the window, she was wearing one of Lucas’s shirts that was half buttoned, her hair was let loose and falling around her shoulders. She was feeling restless because tonight, she wasn’t going to hold back.She would divulge everything and hear whatever he had to say. Even if it was bad or good, she didn’t want to continue to hide this news from him. He deserved to know. He deserved to make a choice.Lucas sat at the edge of the bed, untying his shoelaces. He looked up when she approached him, and his lips quirked when she leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to his cheek.He blinked. “What was that for?” Genuinely surprised by her sudden affection.She smiled. “Can’t I kiss you without a reason?”“You can,” he said slowly, watching her carefully. “But you usually only kiss me like that when you’re about to ask for something… or I did something really heroic.”She giggled and gave him another kiss, this time on his neck. “Maybe I’m just being sweet.”“Overly sweet,” h

"Stick with my Aunt. She's cool and doesn't involve herself with the family’s drama."Not his exact words but Lucas had advised her to stick with his 'cool aunt.' Guess 'cool aunts' do 'cool things.' Like stabbing someone in their matrimonial home. "Just die already," Lilith growled, walking towards Clarissa who was crawling on the floor, covered in her blood, tears streaming down her face, seeking any leeway out of her situation.With the throbbing pain in the back of her head, blurred vision, and the numbing ache in her abdomen—Clarissa could barely muster up any courage to fight back. 'My baby.' Clarissa whimpered. The blinding pain in her abdomen continued. Her hands trembled, her knees hurt like she had placed them on hot water, her body suddenly felt too heavy to carry and she collapsed. "No. Please, spare me." Clarissa begged, crawling back with her ass. Seems her situation could never get better.Lilith grinned at her, her eyes were cold, and the dagger dripped with blood

"Lucas, you really need to calm down or my sight starts to hurt," Kai said from across the living room.Lucas ran a hand through his hair, scattering it in the process. "How do I remain calm? It's been fifteen hours already." He turned to face Kai and Justin. "Still, no trace of Clarissa. As if...she's no longer on the surface."Justin sighed. "I just called the police for an update, the CCTV is clean. Nothing was found. Not even a sight of her leaving the house."Kai raised a brow. "So, she's probably somewhere in this house, hiding?"Justin shot Kai a glare. Lucas paced the living room. "You don't get it, do you?""I think so." Mrs Chen sluggishly entered, her eyes moving between the three men. She could sense the tension in the room. Everyone else has been in a frantic mood since. "Sir..." she whispered. Lucas spun. "Did you find her?"Mrs Chen shook her head. "No, sir." Her eyes drifted down, unable to see his face. How it would twist in frustration and hate.Instead, he burst

“Where is he?” Lilith asked, her eyes piercing into Mrs Chen’s body,her brows were slightly joined in a frown. The older woman sighed tiredly. “In his bedroom.”“Since when?” She clutched her bag tightly, her eyes drifting off to the East wing that had suddenly worn a whole new vibe. It was cold, lonely, and lacked warmth. It seemed the whole house had stilled. No more laughter, just like before Clarissa came along. “He’s been indoors for three days now. He only comes out at night to grab carrots from the refrigerator and then, he goes back in.” Lilith frowned. She was dressed in all black. Black slacks, black top, and black purse that matched her black heels. “What about work?”“Justin comes by to hand him files that needs his attention. He works in his bedroom, makes calls there, and handles everything else in there.” Mrs Chen’s shoulder sank. “He’s been a shadow of himself since Clarissa vanished.” Lilith remained silent, something like a flicker crossed her eyes but they vani
