Alaric POV“What are you doing?!,” The elevator door closed behind her, she pushed me away almost immediately like I burned her.“I am sorry,” I quickly apologized.“You are sorry,” she scoffed as she didn't believe me.“Yes, I just wanted us to talk and I felt the office was ….,” she raised her hand, cutting me off .“Everytime we had dinner it ended in disaster, Alaric,” she said.“Things had changed,” I paused.“I thought we were getting along, learning to co-parent,” I tried to convince her.“It won't end well, Alaric. So stick to doing your duty as their father I will do mine. Because you saw me vulnerable once does not mean we are already that close,” she said.I stepped closer to her. Her eyes were blank, maybe if I went closer I would see an emotion.She stepped back. I stopped. “I hate this,” I sighed“I am sorry, I caused you pain Lucia, I know. I want redemption, I regret every action, every word that I said. Everything I did was stupid, I didn't realize that I lost you

Chapter 162

Marissa (LUCIA) POV The car moved slowly, Alaric and I didn't say a word to each other. I looked outside the window, I don't want to have any conversation with him until we get wherever we are going.I should have asked him where we were going, but I didn't want to be the first person to break the silence.“We are going to one of my hotels , the top has a beautiful view and you love the city view,” he said as if he read my mind.I nodded my head. “Lucia, I know things are still bad between us but can you stop staring out the window, please. It seems like you don't want to be here…,” he said almost like a child.I don't want to be here. I am just here to….God I don't even know what I am thinking.I turned to him. “Is this fine?,” I asked.He sighed. “I am sorry, I just wanted us to make conversation, act like we used to…you used to,” he said.“That person is not me, and I am certain I didn't want to act like that with you any longer,” I replied coldly.“I am sorry,” he said softly. T

Marissa (LUCIA) POV“Alaric…,”His hand reached towards my face, I was ready to push him away, if he tried to kiss me. But his hands stopped at my hair, and picked something. He moves away. “I am sorry, I wanted to help remove the dirt in your hair,”. He said.I frown, I am sure there's no dirt in my hair, and we both know what was about to happen between us there.The room felt silent, I sat up on the floor and watched the rain, Alaric sat beside me.“I hope you enjoyed dinner,” he said looking at me.“Yes, thank you. At least I didn’t regret coming with you,” I replied.He nodded, smiling. “The rain was fun,” I added.I should haven't said that. “Yeah, it just suddenly started with no warning,” he said looking towards the view.I was still curious about the note I saw. Alaric stood up and walked to the kitchen area. I looked away from his muscular body when I realized I was blushing, his black shirt clung to his skin outlining his body.‘ Stop thinking about that,’ I tell myself.

Chapter 164

Alaric POVI watched as Lucia walked into the mansion. I climbed back into the car and leaned back, I am glad this ended well.At least I get to make her laugh. And she ate the food I made. I brought out the list that Nova gave me.Wanted to take a look at it, but stopped. I will read it later. I smiled when I remembered the feeling of her against my body.I wonder if she will have dinner with me. My thoughts ended when I arrived at my mansion. The hall was empty, not living like when Nova and Levi were here.I went straight to my room, cleaned up. I closed my eyes immediately and I hit the bed, smiling at the memories of the evening.In the middle of the night, if I heard movement in my room, I reached for the gun hidden under my pillow and on the bed side lap.I pointed the gun at the person. “Lucien?,” I called as I clearly saw the face.“You finally woke up, I thought you were dead,” he said, wearing all black.“Why are you here?,” I asked him. It was strange for him to come h

Chapter 165

Marissa (LUCIA) POV “What list?,” I asked. She turned, smiled at me. “Nothing mummy. Just a list of things I want daddy to buy for me,” she said, but that look on her face tells me that there was more to the ‘list’ she mentioned. “Okay,” “See you downstairs, mom,” she said as she fled my room. I walked down the stairs, and headed to the dining room. My breakfast was served and my father walked in with my grandfather. “Good morning,” I greeted as I sip my coffee. “Morning, Lucia,” they both said, and I smiled. “You didn't eat breakfast early this morning?,” I asked them “We already ate, we wanted to meet you before you head out today,” my grandfather said. I watched both of them sit opposite of me. “Is something wrong?,” I asked “The Winston invited us to their party tomorrow…,” my father said. “It is fine, we don't have to go. I knew we don't see eye to eye and it is somehow strange that they are hosting a party and inviting us ,” I said as I swallowed the egg.

Chapter 166

Marissa (Lucia) POV“Who are you?,” I asked, the woman in front of me.She smiled. “Don't play dumb with me, I know you know who I am. Unless, if the Alden Heiress is not like they speak of,” she said.Right in front of me is my cousin, Hugo Winston's first daughter Louise.I smirked. “You could have introduced yourself properly rather met me in the restroom to attack me, Louise”“And who do you think you are,” she asked. I knew she was a spoiled brat and thinking she could mess with me was a very wrong move on her part.“Lucia Alden, ‘Aka Sable’” I mimicked, as I placed back my lipstick in my purse.“Don't forget the name Sable. Something could happen to you and you know something no one will ever question your death because you are useless to Winston anyway. I am not here for whatever war is going on in the Winston, I am here to see the kind of family my mother came from and to be sincere I am not impressed,” I added, as I held my purse with my two hands.Her face went pale. “You

Chapter 167

Marissa (LUCIA) POV“I want the twins formally introduced as the Winston,” my maternal grandfather said.I looked at the faces of my uncle and aunt then cousins. It is obvious that we aren't going to like whatever decision our grandfather is making.“Don't push your luck Lucas,” my grandfather said.“No, you don't have the right to talk like that Allen,” my maternal grandfather said using my grandfather's first name.“You never wanted them before because your daughter left, you said it yourself and I quote, I don't want grandchildren from a man who kills my daughter,” my grandfather snapped.“That was a mistake and you Alden's didn't clear your name…,” My maternal grandfather defends.“Your daughter left her children, because she was selfish. I can't believe you guys wanted them back in your life and I am sure there's more to whatever you Winstons are doing,” my grandfather scoffed.“You don't understand, Allen. I am dying and I need someone to continue the lineage, someone compat

Chapter 168

Alaric POV After leaving Lucia’s table I walked back to my seat, I smiled at those who tried to sympathize with what had happened to my company.I had watched the Alden and the Winston since the evening began, it is obvious there were more to why the Winston invited the Alden. The supposed Winston heir and heiress were staring daggers at Lucia and Lucien. With how Lucien had stared back at the Winston heirs. I sighed as I sipped my wine. I decided to take a fresh breath, with what Lucia said the other time it was obvious she wasn't ready to trust me, I laughed I would not trust myself too.I walked to the balcony, I heard people talking in a low voice, I didn't want to catch eavesdropping on people, so I walked away but stopped as soon as I heard one of the people say Lucia name.“Do you think the old man is considering the Alden's Twin?,” A man asked “I think so, I have met Lucia. She is a tough nut to crack. We need to do something before the old man decided to chose one of th

Chapter 169

Marissa (LUCIA) POVMy grandfather's words still ring in my head, so I told Lucien about it. He said he was going to make clear to our mother that we want nothing to do with the Winston.My grandfather had already told that, My maternal grandfather will go any length to get what he wants.But I don't think he knows us better, he can be vicious, I can be too.I picked my phone up and called Emilio.“Hello Dia,” “Sorry it has been a long time since I came to see you, handling the Mafia is not easy,” Emilio complained through the phone.“Sorry, you should visit sometimes sooner, Levi will not keep shut about how he misses you,” I replied “Tell him I will see him soon and that I missed him too. And heard you gain new enemies,” he said, I can hear the mischief in his voice.“Yes, my cousins, Aunty and Uncle,” I replied shortly.“Is that why you called me?,” he asked, I nodded without him seeing me.“Yes,” “Ahh, what should I do?. Should they end up dead somehow?, or should I give them a

Chapter 170

Marissa (Lucia) POV I watched as Emily walked in, her head up in the air like an heiress.She looks around like the office is too small for her to be in it. I scoffed mentally another spoiled brat that needs to be dealt with.I was kind of hoping Louise is the only one but it seems I am unlucky today. I just dealt with the Grandfather, I don't want to deal with a…“Your office is okay,” she said as she walked towards me.I smiled. “It cost more than you think,” “Well, I don't do numbers,”she said as she sat.I raised my brows up, I scoffed and watched her.“Let get straight to the point. I like you and I think you would be the perfect heir for the Winston and I want to support you,” she said.It was as if we were in a presidential election and one of the candidates was unwilling to be president. I have never heard about that before but it is a sencenario, I thought about.I stared at Emily in front of me and thought about many ways to make her disappear.“You couldn't be the heir,
