Theo immediately briefed one of his lady friends about the party and she jumped on the invite as expected. It was that easy.Who wouldn't want to be seen side by side with Theodore dé Leonardo? One of the most good looking and wealthy bachelors to ever grace West Side, having Lucian at the top of the list.Nelly happened to be Theo's best female catch and she has a match with Theo's energy. She was all excited and prepared her best dress for the occasion, not knowing that Theo wanted to be at the party because he wished to meet someone he would put above her, sorry, but that's the life he loves to lead.Ash on the other hand just wanted to represent the Company with his presence and do his friend the Honour of being around. No much thinking. ••••••6:00 Pm•••• Stephanie wore her lemon green one handed Gucci gown which fitted her perfectly curved body, highlighting the dress with her white sandal heels and purse. She packed her hair in a ponytail and glossed her lips with a nude lip gl

When Lucian was done with signing the papers there in the party hall with the Blue Bug's manager who also doubled as the company's CEO, he and his pack left for home but before they made a move on that, Ash and Theo convinced Lucian to come home with them rather and he did not budge because he's longed to be with them full time too. When they got to their manse, the living room was untidy because of some guys' stuff going on in there, from the game pads to the wines and beer bottles littered on the table plus, they had no room service unlike Lucian who had never known what it feels like to tidy a room. But then Theo was sitting on his head like a time bomb waiting to explode, there was something he and Ash observed that night and wanted to share with him which was one of the reasons they wanted him over. Few hours later, when they'd all taking their showers and settled in the now tidy living room, Theo couldn't contain his curiosity. "Hey man, where did you meet that girl again, er

Selene had a slight veisalgia and slept like a log even the sunset that shimmered through her window, resting on her face didn't wake her up. But in no distant time, she got plunged out of her slumber when her phone chimed and she remembered instantly the meeting she'd be having that morning with Lucian; they would be visiting South Side together so he could show her around the annex and where the deceased architect stopped. She can't afford to play with the chance Lucian was offering her and she felt her head swelling at the thought of him texting her and calling off the appointment and the contract entirely for lateness.Selene cussed and rolled off the bed as she practically flew into the bathroom right after she opened the text.*You know how unprofessional it is to be late on the first day of work, don't you?*Lucian ain't good with words but for him to sound like this means he's just not happy.She hurriedly took her bath, brushed her teeth and struggled to get into her tight d

Lucian alighted and straightened his tux suit jacket as he walked into Harry and Ruth with Selene stepping gracefully before him.Harry and Ruth is situated at the outskirts of West Side, it is a very exquisite and cool restaurant run by a couple whose name the restaurant goes by. Entering the restaurant, Selene left her mouth in a cute little O as her eyes bawled and flickered in amazement, the four walls of the restaurant is simply magnificent, it had her spinning around, she needed no search engine to tell her how expensive their menu would be whether à la carte or table d'hôte, it would definitely be high-priced. She actually didn't expect less from Lucian but this is way beyond her expectations. Unable to control her emotions, she turned to Lucian and asked. "I thought we're here for brunch?""Yes?""Then why does it look like we're invited to a King's party?"Selene whispered while her eyes wandered about."I am a king, woman."She scoffed at that cold and conceited reply f

Lucian gently and quietly set down Selene's head from his arm, placing it on her handbag and making a pillow out of it, he stood up and walked away from the shelter and into the night he went, fearlessly.His eyes glowed from blue-grey to gold, radiating the fire straight from his father's throne and activating his night vision, he could see clearly like in the day time.Suddenly, a bat flew sottishly and smashed on a tree three metres from where he stood.He walked towards it, cautiously but defiantly, he's very composed but his mind was in a fierce combat with itself.Getting to the foot of the tree, he looked around one more time and then, he sat on his heels and observed the strange bat, arching his head to the side to get a better view.It was dead, it broke its head from the accident. He could tell from the fracture but the blood was improbable to be called natural; a deep blue tacky liquid.He was very inquisitive to know what it was, so he touched it with the tip of his fingers

Lucian helplessly looked on silently as Arabella wobbled her way up untill she was out of sight, it felt strikingly preposterous that he began to wonder if this would eventually happen to Selene in the next decades to come. Being a human is quite inhumane, it seems.After a couple of minutes of introspection, he stood up and helped himself up the stairs. Getting to the corridor that led to his room which stood at the extreme of the second floor, he felt a lump up above his Adam's apple when his eyes caught Selene's contour from underneath her door which the light behind her reflected, she was throwing on a nightie provided by Arabella and her cups were as firm as her obdurate persona. He stopped in his tracks as he licked his perfect full lips, wet. Unknown desire stirring up his blood.Just then, Selene's door creaked open and she almost screamed when she saw Lucian standing across her door, she was so bewildered that she dramatically crossed her arms over her chest, beseeching her

Selene laughed out loudly in surprise as she stared at Lucian whose indolent eyes were now fixed on hers."You have a degree in turning tables, don't you?""Just like you, with asking alot."He retorted as he brought out his sunshades and started cleaning the lenses with his white silky handkerchief.Selene frantically licked her lips, folded them in and glued her eyes on the windscreen, praying fervently for Lucian to not get invested because there was absolutely nothing about her that he needed to know."I'm hanging, Selene?"Her prayers weren't answered. Lucian's paying rapt attention to her now. He confirmed it as he continued,"I mean, you have seen my brothers, Ash and Theo, my aunt, Arabella, my family house, my drivers, Olaf and Reggie, my company and you are about to see my annex. But the only information I have about you is just your name?"That clever deduction from Lucian kept Selene on her toes, her bladder suddenly became full and she felt a surprising urge to use a restr

Selene struggled with unlocking her apartment in her distress and when she finally had it unlocked, she threw her bag on the bed and stomped into the bathroom to take her shower.She sat on the tub for twenty straight minutes as her emotions got the vulnerable part of her, making her cry and whimper in disappointment and resentment, she held onto her knees and buried her face between them.Finally, when she got over herself, she stepped out of the tub on her robe, her eyes shot of blood as she damped her hair, standing before her nightstand, she stared at the locket sitting complacently on it and detested how her life revolves around it for a minute before she picked it up and reluctantly called on Mother Queila.There was no answer and she felt very guilty remembering the last call she had with Celia.She swallowed hard and exhaled tentatively preparing her mind to face Mother Queila when a loud knock interrupted.Getting the door, Stephanie stomped into her room and stood before the
