LYDIA'S POV

This saturday morning felt different from every other morning since my rebirth.

I sat at my kitchen table reviewing the documents for the final account transfer which was spread out before me.

A cup of coffee which had already gone cold was situated right at my elbow.

This was the last of the account transfer documents and after I was done everything would now be under Lydia Vale.

Not Darnell.

Not Blackwell.

It would all be mine.

  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr Blackwell   Chapter 33

    LYDIAWe left after breakfast and made it to the conference room narrowly in time with about four minutes to spare. That was because Lucas had taken more time to freshen up after the meal.Morgan was already present inside the conference room, standing at the head of the table with a folder in her hands and a look on her face that instantly made my stomach to tighten before she had even said a single word because I knew exactly what that look meant.Trouble. Problem. What kind of quagmire were we all in this time and how bad was it?"The Riverside client is threatening to pull out of the project," she said. "They said they had received an anonymous tip this morning which pitched the claims that the lead designer of the project had plagiarized the lobby concept from a firm in Chicago."The floor felt unsteady underneath my body for a tense moment.What. The. Fuck.Like what the actual fuck?Plagiar

    LUCASAfter a short while, Lydia raised her head to look at me, still breathing hard from the orgasm I had given her.“Help me down,” she whispered, her fingers curving around mine. So I held her hand in a furk grip, and helped her to easily slide off the counter. But before I could say anything, she dropped to her knees right there in front of me and when I stared down at her in that position, my heart slammed against my ribs at the stark realization of what she was trying to then. My brain struggled to catch up because I was not expecting any of it."Lydia,” I began, breathless, in a voice that was rough, with need and also desire, “you don't have to do this." She looked up at me with those dark eyes that always pulled me in. "I want to. Let me."She blinked.“Please.”I swallowed hard, my grip on her elbow loosening as a sign of defeat and utter surrender to her own wishes.

  • Too Late To Love Me, Mr Blackwell   Chapter 31

    LYDIAI was roused from sleep by the soft morning light which was filtering in through the curtains. For a second, I didn’t know where I was. Then, everything from last night came rushing back to me—Lucas carrying me home, his calm voice telling me over and over again that I was safe. I turned my head to the side and saw that he was asleep, in a chair, by the window, with his head resting against the back, one arm hanging loose. He looked peaceful while he slept with his chest rising and falling slowly under his shirt from last night. I stayed there for a minute, just watching him—the way he slept, the way his hair fell across his forehead, the stubble on his jaw, the quiet strength in his face even while he was asleep. My heart did something funny that it wasn't supposed to in my chest. And I slipped out of bed carefully because I did not want to wake him up. When my feet touched the cool floor, I winced softly before I grabbed his shirt from the chair and carefully pulled it o

    LUCAS' POVI was in my office late Monday evening when a knock came on the door and my head just lifted from the pile of work sitting on my office desk."Yes?" I called just before the second knock came on the door. The door knob turned and Morgan stepped into the doorway of my office."Sorry to disturb you sir, but there is a lady here to see you and she says that it is very urgent," she said as she stepped aside."Who is th—" I started to ask. And the words died in my mouth when Lydia walked into my office looking exhausted. I pushed back from my desk."Lydia," I whispered her name, standing abruptly from my revolving chair.I knew immediately that something was wrong because she was just managing herself carefully, holding it all together like someone who was close to the edge.There were dark circles under her eyes and she looked so tired and frail. Even I could see her hands were shaking slightly."Lydia, are you alright?" I asked before taking a step forward with wide eyes."Lu

    LYDIA'S POV This saturday morning felt different from every other morning since my rebirth.I sat at my kitchen table reviewing the documents for the final account transfer which was spread out before me. A cup of coffee which had already gone cold was situated right at my elbow.This was the last of the account transfer documents and after I was done everything would now be under Lydia Vale. Not Darnell. Not Blackwell. It would all be mine.

    VANESSA'S POV"That was when the fashion bloggers asked her to just give a direct confirmation of the dating rumours," Fiona said in my ears.My phone was pressed to my left ear and I paced my bedroom while Fiona droned on about some useless gossip. This wasn't my problem. My exact worry now was that Lydia had managed to escape from every trap that we had set. Was it the embezzlement frame-up which I pushed her it? It had failed, woefully. Not even as bad as the financial theft I had set up that had easily gotten blocked. She was thriving at that architecture firm while the family business was now rapidly beginning to crumble around the edges.It was infuriating. "Vanessa!" Fiona suddenly screamed until my ears and taking off guard.My ears vibrated from the loud sound even as my body shook from being startled."What?" I screamed back into the receiver before my legs halted in my pacing."Are you even listening to me?" She asked in a voice that sounded slightly offended.I let out
