Mag-log inLucas’ POVI jolted up from bed. Beads of sweat covered me entirely.“It's a dream.” I murmured with a sigh of relief. Even now, my pounding heart refused to settle. What I saw in my dream had felt so real that it was almost impossible to convince myself it had never happened.I saw her, Claire, making us renew our vow. Threatening my company with the country’s minister authority, claiming she could dismiss my company if I failed to renew the vow with her.I rose from the bed and rubbed my face tiredly. The guest room felt more like home than my actual bedroom. But there was nothing I could do now until I finally had Judy and divorced Claire without looking back for any reason.With that thought lingering in my mind, I entered the bathroom. Fifteen minutes later, I walked out, fully dressed in my bespoke luxury suit.Anyone who saw me ordinarily like this would think I was headed to work. To my company to put everything in place as usual. But today was different. I had other plans.“A
Lucas’ POVI couldn’t stop thinking about it. How could I?The blatant rejection that happened yesterday at the movie premiere kept replaying in my head like a broken record.I had faced boardroom battles worth billions of dollars. I had negotiated impossible deals and walked away victorious. Yet none of those victories seemed to matter.Because Judy had looked me straight in the eye and made it clear she wanted nothing to do with me.It was an obvious disinterest that proved to me that even if I owned the world and everything right inside of it, Judy did not care.Money meant nothing to her.Power meant nothing to her.My influence meant nothing to her.She did not want me which meant she didn't want me.Simple.Painfully simple.But she was the mother of my child.That fact alone made it impossible for me to completely walk away.This was the moment I should give up.Every reasonable person would advise me to let her go and move on with my life.But what then happens to me?A billio
Judy’s POV“How do I look?” I asked Natasha. She’d been around in the house since yesterday.She’d left the country the moment I flew back into Colorado from the resort, but she was back yesterday and we have been gisting and gisting and taking care of Jonathan while I never looked back at what happened at the resort.It felt easier that way, pretending the memory could not reach me if I refused to acknowledge it. Still, there was a strange heaviness in my chest that never fully left. Almost like an instinct I could not explain.“You look beautiful Judy. So, astonishing.” she leaned over my shoulder. Her arms gently holding my arms as we both stared into the mirror.I smiled gently and rose to my feet. Checking myself out the more. I turned slightly from side to side, making sure everything sat perfectly on my body.“Of course.” I murmured quickly with the continuous smile.I’ve gotten the invitation to the movie premiere happening at the central Colorado in my mail by John. He was par
Lucas’ POV“What?” She asked like she thought after this confession something else would have happened.“Go out of the room, Claire. See you tomorrow,” I said again.Without sparing her another glance, I lay on the bed and pulled the blanket over myself.For a few seconds, silence settled between us.Then she slowly rose to her feet.“Lucas?” she called softly.Her face squeezed with emotion. Her eyes spoke volumes. It was obvious she wanted to stay much longer. Perhaps she thought there was still something left to salvage between us.But there wasn't.Not anymore.She walked to the side of the bed. Stretching out her hand, she pulled the blanket slightly and bent down, attempting to get inside.“Don't you dare!”My voice exploded through the room.Cold.Firm.Uncompromising.Claire froze instantly.She knew exactly what that tone meant.If she got inside the blanket and slept beside me against my will, she would only worsen her already terrible situation.Because tomorrow, God willin
Lucas’ POVI stepped into the bedroom and made sure to lock the door behind me because I knew it. Claire was crazy in the head right now.One time she wanted me to sign the divorce papers and the next minute she was pleading and asking me what she had done, as though nothing ever happened.If I was not careful enough, she would step into the room again and keep pleading, but indirectly she would not allow me pick her former phone. And if that happened, there was no way I would be able to know the truth of the past I had been chasing for so long.CLICK!The lock sounded and I just knew it that the final lock of the door had been engaged, sealing everything behind me for now.Then I walked forward. Our closet room was in the other wing, which would have to be accessed through the bedroom corridor.I moved with caution, my steps quiet against the polished floor, and entered into the closet. I pulled the handle of the last drawer slowly, almost hesitating, as though the air itself was warn
Lucas’ POVI touched ground in Colorado after Habibi had come to pick me at the resort as instructed. Getting into the helicopter, I stepped inside, and it lifted off immediately, carrying me toward my home.During the flight, I said nothing. My thoughts were already too loud inside my head, circling around Claire, Judy, and the truth I was still piecing together.Getting home, I saw her, Claire. She was sitting on the sofa, her feet tapping on the floor hurriedly and continuously, like she had been waiting in a state of agitation for hours.She didn’t greet me nor come towards me and attempt to peck me on the lips like she usually attempted every other night when I arrived from work. But of course, I didn’t mind.Something already felt different. Not softer, but heavier.I headed right up the stairs. I wanted to go into our room, pick her former phone and send the IMEI number to Blacko, but before I reached the stairs,“I want a divorce.” she roared.The words hit the air before I e
Lucas’ POVI didn’t even know what to believe at this moment. I was already driving at 80km/hr when suddenly I jumped back to life.The hum of the engine filled the silence, steady but distant, like I wasn’t fully there. My hands were on the wheel, my eyes on the road, yet my mind refused to stay i
Judy’s POV(Two hours earlier.)“I’m afraid you cannot come in, sir. The patient rejected you being around her and we are to do everything she wants so that she can get better quickly.”I heard it loud and clear. And I just smirked on the bed where I was.The tone of the nurse was firm enough to co
Lucas’ POVAt 12 am, at midnight, I turned to the side. Claire was also snoring out loud.The room was quiet aside from the soft rhythm of her breathing, yet my mind refused to settle.She’d come into the bedroom two hours earlier. She’d not said anything to me, as though she now saw me as a bad gu
Lucas’ POVI saw Ms Kingpin fall down. For a second, everything around me seemed to slow, the chatter in the hall fading into a dull hum. My heart sank because Sunshine Production was responsible for her well-being. A great actress like her couldn’t be exposed to any harm, and the fact that she f
