LUCIUS
I caressed Lisa’s face gently while she slept deeply. She looked so beautiful in her sleep, her arms thrown around me and her hair in her face.
“Beautiful” I whispered before kissing her forehead.
I had fallen deeply in love with her already and I wondered how she was going to take it if I told her about my feelings for her.
Would she be excited, tell me she feels the same and would want us to actually date? Or would she tell me that a real relationship between us is impossible and she doesn’t feel anything other than lust for me?
I had never been rejected before. Primarily because I had never fell in love before.
It kinda sucks though, feeling this way and yet it feels beautiful in a way.
“Lisa” I whispered her name gently as if calling it any louder would wake her up anyways.
I tucked her hair gently behind her ears and then moved my hand gently to her her eyes, then down to her nose and then to her lips.
Beautiful, soft and plump.
She stirred a bit in her sleep but didn’t wake up anyways. She was sure tired after I had fucked her.
I wanted to do more. I wanted us to go all night but her body wouldn’t take it so at 2am, we had put an end to it and she went to sleep.
My phone beeped behind me and I turned gently to avoid waking Lisa up. I picked it up and saw that it was a message from my personal assistant.
Damn! That guy doesn’t know that work hours have long been over?
I opened the mail and found that it was my schedule for the day. I looked back at Lisa’s face and paused for a few seconds.
Lisa was going to be all I had on my schedule for today.
“Clear my schedule for today. I will see to them next time” I sent the message to him and dropped my phone.
Snuggling even closer to Lisa, I shut my eyes, trying to get some sleep before it would get bright.
I had only shut my eyes for a few minutes when my phone beeped with a message.
I groaned this time before grabbing the phone. The message was from Andro.
“The names of the men in the jotter are all names of Lorden’s men. Plus one of the men from the club confessed. They work for Lorden”
“Fuck” I cursed, on reading the message.
“That bastard” I seethed. He had put on a quite believable act in front of me to make it seem like he wasn’t the one but in the end, he turned out to be.
I and Lorden went back a long way but I would not hesitate getting rid of him if that would make Lisa safe.
“Anything to keep you safe” I kissed her lips and gently removed her hands from around me before getting out of bed.
“Time to kill another”

AUTHOR’S POV
“It wasn’t my fault mum!” Irene groaned, slamming her fist on the dinning table.
“No yelling over breakfast” Her mother said sternly and Irene drew in a deep breath.
“Maybe we shouldn’t be talking about Lorden over breakfast too” she rolled her eyes.
“Listen to me, Irene. You have no idea what is going on. Those men were caught yesterday and Lorden is going to be in trouble if they say a word. All you had to freaking do was aid them in kidnapping her”
“And I did my part, mum! I messaged them, told them where she was and left for the restroom. When I came back, I only saw her leaving with Lucius Devine” Irene replied with a low groan.
“You are supposed to be smart, Irene. You should have taken Lisa to the back of the club and make it easier for the men to take her”
“Mum! It is not my fault that Mr. Devine was around that place. I had no idea he was there at all. I did my part and it is not my fault that this did not work out.” She dropped her cutleries with a tired look.
“If Lorden is caught and Mr. Devine starts investigating, he will find out that I am involved in all of these and guess what will happen?” Irene’s mum leaned over the table with blazing eyes.
“I will get killed by him! Do you understand that?! Do you?! And I won’t be the only one who gets killed! You also will be killed, kiddo!”
“Then maybe you shouldn’t have gotten involved with Lorden in the first place!” Irene slammed her fist on the table.
“If I didn’t get involved with Lorden, you think you will have this comfortable life?” Irene’s mum asked fiercely.
“I am so done with this conversation!” Irene got up with a tired look on her face.
“Whatever happens, I don’t even care anymore. This is all just so fucked up! If we are found out and killed, no problem and if manage to live, no problem.” She turned to leave the dinning room.
“Tell Lorden he is stupid for trying to kidnap innocent Lisa just to bring Mr. Devine back into a business that he no longer wants anything to do with!” She added and walked off, her heart hurting.
She didn’t like the way her mum was pushing her. She was trying her best doing these jobs that she never signed up for! It was worse now that it had to do with Lisa whom she liked.
Getting to her room, Irene slammed the door behind her and dropped to the edge of the bed. For a reason, she recalled the previous night.
How Mr. Devine and leaned in so close to Lisa and how he had picked her up, throwing her over his shoulders. Irene could not shake off the feeling that none of it seemed fatherly.
It seemed more like they were a couple.
For a second, she thought about the possibility of Mr. Devine being Lisa’s friend with benefits but Irene shook her head, getting the thoughts out of her head.
That was impossible. Mr. Devine and Lisa could not be involved in any sort of relationship.
“Impossible. Very much so.”
