Lucille's POV “What are you doing here?” I asked Gary.He looked taller and broader than he had back at the club. It could be because of the dim lights of the club or the fact he had a gun pointed at me less than five minutes of me being in the club. All that didn't matter now. What mattered was his presence around my son. “I was told to watch you,” he said.“Spying on me?” I asked.“Think whatever you wish to.”He sounded irritated, and he looked as though he didn't want to be doing what he was, but it didn't matter. “Leave. I don't want you anywhere close to me,” I said.“Your son…” he pointed, but I slapped his hand down.“He is not my son,” I said.No one could know, especially King. I knew what he was capable of. I knew his world, and I won't push my son into it with him having that knowledge.Gary folded his arms, nodding. “Boss wants you back at base tomorrow.” He handed me a card.“Your pass, made just for you,” he smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes.“I don't-”“Honey, wh

Lucille's POV “What?!”I raised my head, brows wiggled in confusion. I wasn't surprised he was bringing it up. It was expected, but I was surprised as to why he brought it up now.I hadn't signed any document which meant they had nothing they wanted. Were they tired of playing the games just when I joined in?He took a seat, taking my hand. “Lucille, I love you a lot, but you're putting our son in danger,” he said.My heart skipped a beat, my mind wondering if he had found out my relations with King. “What are you talking about?” I asked, a thin line of resolve helping me act oblivious.“You should retire.” His words caught me off guard.“I know it's a surprise, and you didn't plan to, but you should. You have criminals all around you. It was your client that almost killed Harvey,” he said.“How do you know that? He had on a mask and-”He let go of my hand. “What other explanation is there?!” he barked.“You need to retire. Give me the firm or we get a divorce, it's your choice,” he

Lucille’s POVThe next morning, the rattling of the main door woke me up. I sat up, glancing at Harvey, who slept calmly beside me.He was always a deep sleeper. I placed a kiss on his forehead before leaving for the door. The knock shifted from rattling to banging.I looked through the peephole and couldn't believe my eyes. Unlocking the door, I flung it open. “Benjamin?” I said, frowning at how he looked.His cheeks were swollen with blood stains at each side of his lips. “What happened to you?” I asked, stepping out of the way to let him in.He tried to smile, but he hissed at the pain from his face. “Did you get into a fight?” I asked, but he ignored me, heading for the stairs.I hadn't noticed he hadn't been home last night. However, since he wasn't going to talk, I didn't plan to ask any further.I grabbed the remote, still remembering Josephine’s words from yesterday. Once I pressed play, the news popped up, or should I say an interview with a picture attached to the side.Benj

Lucille’s POVWith Harvey at my side, we went for the door of the house. After a twist of the key in the hole, the door flung open, revealing an open living room. The sofas were distances away from each other, a massive television at the side. The blue paint wasn't exactly the colour I liked, but I had to go for it. “Come on,” I said to Harvey, leading him upstairs. “Wow,” he exclaimed, letting go of my hand as he ran in.He ran around then stopped. “Is this my room, Mommy?” he asked, and I nodded.“Everything here is yours,” I said.Most things weren't as I wanted, but this room, with just a few touches it became something I knew Harvey would love. I didn't care if everything else wasn't to my liking so long as Harvey was happy with it.It took the agent half a day to get the repairs done. Even though the moon was already out, I didn't want to have Harvey in that house longer than he already was.Plus, Benjamin was out. It was the best time to take Harvey away before he noticed. “

Lucille’s POV “Come,” King pulled me into the dance floor, hands on my waist.“Dance,” he whispered.We moved to the slow rhythm of the music, surrounded by so many other couples but I could still see Benjamin. He was still staring. Still watching.I shouldn't have taken my mask off. I scolded myself.“Look at me,” King said and I raised my gaze to him.King was taller than me by so many inches. Even with heels, I still had to raise my head enough to look him in the eyes.“If you keep looking at him, he'll only grow suspicious,” he added.I hummed. We danced in silence for a minute before I couldn't hold it in anymore. “How long have you known?” I asked.He smirked. “I know a lot of things Miss Lucille. You have to be specific with your questions,” he said.“You know what I'm implying, King,” I said.“Do you mean if I knew you came to me because you wanted to get revenge on your husband?” he paused. “Yes, I knew that from the moment you made the first call.”“How long have you known
