Chapter 71

King’s POVAffect me?A lie sat at the tip of my tongue. She could never affect me. This was my way of getting her close enough to ruin her. To make her understand never to cross me.Lies.But the truth? The one I have to keep locked away was I was obsessed with her. From the moment I laid my eyes on her, she was… everything.I lost control when she was near and I still did when she was far away. And when she looked at me like she could feel what I felt, it ignited a fire inside of me.But there was uncertainty in her eyes. Like she was still stuck on that ex of hers.He was an ex to me. She might not have divorced him yet but he would be. And I would make sure of that.“How desperate are you to know that?” I asked, taking up her personal space.I could see her body wanted me and I was ready, always ready to give myself to her but…“I…”

Chapter 72

Lucille’s POV“How’s her progress, doctor?”“There has been no change to her vital signs. She’s fine,” the doctor replied.“Any idea when she’ll wake up?” I asked.That got a negative response. Ever since the last time Pamela woke up. She’s been in a coma for weeks now with the doctors saying the same thing over and over again. I sat at her side, staring at her face.She had gone through so much. I wasn’t sure why but no matter how much it’s been told to me, I could never believe that she would willingly join the mafia. Something else was going on and right now only she could tell me.My phone rang and I smiled at the caller ID. I swiped upwards on the screen, moving the phone away from my face. “Hey sweetie,” I said.“Hi Mommy,” Harvey waved at the screen excitedly.“How are you, baby?” I asked.“I miss you,” he replied.“I miss you too.”

Chapter 73

Lucille’s POV“Explain,” I said as we stepped out of the ward.“Her reaction to me?” he asked then shrugged. “It just shows she had business with us.”I shook my head. “No, that’s… that’s not it. Something else is going on here and you are hiding it from me,” I said.“What do you think it is?” he asked.I stuggled to say the words but he got what I meant. He scoffed. “I’m that horrible, isn’t it?” he said.“Maybe if you explained I wouldn’t think you are part of the problem.”“I’m not part of the problem. I am part of the solution to the problem she set for herself,” he said. His tone softened. “I didn’t hurt her.”“Why should I believe you?” I asked. “She saw you last time, didn’t she? When she woke up last time, she saw you that’s why she went into stroke, right?”He nodded. “It’s not my fault she’s scared of her own karma.”“Karma? The mafia

Chapter 74

Lucille’s POVI staggered backwards. A ringing in my ears. King caught me from behind, helping me stand. “I didn’t hear that right, didn’t I?” I forced a smile.I looked back and forth, trying to see even a little sign that I heard wrong. But their expressions remained the same. “You wanted to kill me that day?” I asked in disbelief then chuckled, stepping away from King’s hold.“I want to think you’re joking with me because I know it’s not possible. So let’s talk about other things,” I said. “I was thinking-”“Lucy,” King called out, trying to hold me but I shoved his hand off. “Are you going to ignore this again?”“I’m not. It’s a lie. Don’t you see? She’s lying. Right, Pam?” I said and she looked away in embarrassment.I clenched my fists. “You’re not going to push this off again. You always try to run over the topic. Today, you are not going to do that,” King said and led me to the chair.

Chapter 75

Lucille’s POVMy hand shook. Anger coursed through me. I could take an attack on me. Plots to kill me but not my son. Not him. “Daughter, it’s not-”“Don’t fucking call me that!” I yelled, still pointing the gun at her.“I trusted you with my child. I let you have him whenever you wanted to. He loved you,” my voice broke. “He loved you so much,” I said.Ever since Harvey had the opportunity to call me directly, he had continually asked about Pamela. I always hid her state of health from him to protect him and she… I clasp a hand over my mouth. “Give me one reason why I shouldn’t fucking kill you right now,” I said.Pamela held her hands up. “I gave him the antidote. He’s safe,” she said.“And why the fuck should I believe you?”“I know you shouldn’t but I wouldn’t lie about this. I loved Harvey.”“And yet you poisoned him,” I said with gritted teeth.

Chapter 76

Lucille’s POVBefore I could panic, Harvey’s smiling face flashed on the screen. He waved. “Hi Mommy,” he giggled, rushing to his reading table.He grabbed his drawing book and ran back to the camera. “I drew a picture,” he said, turning the book around to the camera.“Is it good Mommy?” He pressed his chin to the paper.“I think I made my nose a little too big,” he muttered.His cute expression made me smile. My baby. “Mommy, do you think I can be a painter? I like painting,” he said.Whatever you want to be, Sweetie.“You said I can be anything, right? I choose a painter,” he paused. “For now.”I couldn't hold in my laughter. He sure knew himself pretty well. It was then I noticed something. “I didn't draw, Daddy,” he said, then frowned.My smile dropped. I went through all the videos and he was livelier in every one of them but I was back to worr

Chapter 77

Lucille's POV After months of staying indoors, Harvey stepped out of the house. I watched him look out the window from the rear view mirror as we drove down the road.Maybe it was paranoia but I couldn't rest knowing he was poisoned for so long. Five years. For five years he was dying under my roof and I had no idea.Aside from a few scrapes here and there, he was always healthy. He barely ever got sick and so I never could have guessed something was wrong with him.I knew it was unsafe out here for him, but just this once. Just this time for me to be sure he was doing okay. I drove into the hospital in another rental.We had hoodies on to hide our faces from anyone who might be lurking. Harvey was quickly taken in for every test he could run. I had informed them what he ingested and my worries.A hour later, we walked into the doctor’s office. We sat across from him as he read Harvey’s report. “Is my son okay?” I asked.He nodded. “His reports came back normal. There is no abnormali

Chapter 78

Lucille's POV I was greeted by the sounds of people's chatter as I walked into the casino. Every corner had a game being played. A man tossed his cards on the table as the other players laughed at his frustration.“This way,” the lady before me guided.I gave her a smile, following her closely while I looked around. I had a mask on which was a premium treatment. I wasn't sure how Mathew got this but it helped me weave through the place with ease.A few people glanced my way and I could tell a few people had their eyes locked on what I could give.I had a full make over. I had on a wig, makeup that hid most of my features with a mole on my chin backed by the mask. I gave off an aura of a rich heiress and somehow, everyone expected me.“She has a streak of bad luck but never stops,” I heard a table laugh at my expense.“Here is your table,” the lady said.I took a seat at the private reserve, staring out at everyone around me. A few went back to their games, others did both and I took

Chapter 79

Lucille's POV Benjamin was impatient. The last card wasn’t out yet but he thought he had this. The attendant took out the last card and blood drained from Benjamin’s face. “Staight flush!” someone from the crowd said.“She wins!” another said.I sneered at Benjamin, who slumped back into his chair. “That’s not possible,” he said, shaking his head.“That’s not possible,” he repeated. “I win. I always win,” he added in disbelief.The attendant went for my earnings when Benjamin yelled. “No.”“She won,” the attendant said.“I do not agree, okay? I’m supposed to win. Something else went on here,” he looked back and forth at me and King. “You two did something, didn’t you?”“You fell in love with this?” King whispered in my ears.I sent him a look. “See? They are too close. They must have distracted us,” Benjamin said.“He has a point
