DIANE SEBASTIAN
I took in a deep breath, thinking my actions over. A part of me was telling me to just let it go. To let things be this way and let Lisa be with Lucius while I maintained a bit of distance from them.
But the bigger part of me could not allow that happen. I could not let Lisa continue to be with Lucius and I could not forgive Lucius too. The more I thought of it, the angrier I became. The more I recalled my moments with Seb, the more my rage grew. The more I looked at the bracelet that Lucius had kept hidden from me for years, the more pissed off I was.
I could not let Lisa be with Lucius. Never. And so even if it could cost me my life, I was willing to go to Sandro and ask him to let go of Lisa. As long as he wasn’t after Lisa, I could get my daughter back and be assured of her safety still. I wouldn’t have to leave her with Lucius just to keep her safe.
“I have to do this. I didn’t come this far just to turn back and leave” I said to myself and taking in a deep breath, I let out the same and unlocked my car door.
I got out of the car and found my way to Sandro’s gate.
Two men were standing by the gate.
“What do you need?” One of them asked in a gruffy tone that made me want to give up on my mission and leave but I stayed back.
“I need to talk to your boss, Sandro” I replied.
They both exchanged glances and then laughed for a brief moment.
“And you are?” One stopped laughing to ask.
“Tell him I am Lisa’s mother. Diane Sebastien.” I replied in a firm tone.
Maybe it was the firmness in my voice and my stance but they seemed to take me serious.
“Just a second” one of them said to me and walked away.
He made a call for a few seconds before walking back to us. He looked at the other man and nodded towards him.
“Follow me” the other man said and I followed him.
We were soon in the mansion, finding our way to the main building which stood tall and majestically.
“Filthy money” I muttered underneath my breath.
Just like Lucius money. This also was filthy.
The man led me into the main building and into the living room.
In the living room, a man was seated on one of the sofas.
I knew immediately that this was Sandro. The man who had ordered my husband’s death and the man who had kidnapped Lisa.
I hated him so much. So so much.
“This is surprising.” He laughed.
“Why are you here? Oh my manners, have your seat” he said and I sat down, not letting my brave font give way even for a second.
“I was very surprised when I heard you were here to see me. Why are you here? Why did you walk in here so willingly?” He asked.
“I need you to let my daughter be” I stated and he chuckled darkly.
“And why do you think I would do that?”
“Because this is not her fault. You are the mastermind behind Seb’s death. Isn’t that enough? You have taken him away, why do you want to take her away too?” I asked and he threw his head back, laughing loudly.
After his weird laughter, he looked back at me.
“This is no longer about Seb. This is now about Lucius. I want to get rid of him”
“Then do so. Do so without getting my Lisa involved. I don’t want to lose anyone anymore. I can’t afford to lose my daughter”
“I can’t do so without Lisa. Do you know what Lisa is to Lucius?” He cackled.
“She is his everything. She can make him go crazy. She can ruin him. She can send his entire life aflame. Lisa is everything to Lucius. His weakness and his strength. I need her to get rid of Lucius and I honestly can’t guarantee her safety while I use her in achieving my goals”
“I… You don’t have to use Lisa. Please.” I tried not to sound too pathetic.
“Well…” He leaned forward.
“Would you get rid of Lucius for me then?” He asked and my brows arched.
“How… How am I supposed to do that?”
“If you want me to take my eyes off Lisa, then you must be willing to take care of Lucius who is my main problem. Your daughter is his most prized jewel. You should know how to easily get rid of him.”
He shot up from his seat.
“I am done talking. You may leave freely. Let me know what you think. You have a week to think about it. If I get no response in a week, I will take it that I am free to go after Lisa and do whatever I deem fit to get Lucius” he grinned and without waiting for another word from me, he walked away.
I remained there, thinking deeply. What could I do? There was no way I could kill Lucius, right? There was just no way. I was not going to forgive Lucius but I didn’t hate him as much as wanting to kill him.
Yet, just how far could I go to ensure Lisa’s safety?
LUCIUS DEVINE
“Where exactly are we going to? You aren’t telling me a thing” Lisa grumbled, tucking her hair behind her ears.
“You will find that out when we get there, love” I replied and she pouted a bit before shrugging her shoulders.
“You don’t have to take anything along with you. We will just get new ones when we get there”
“There you go flaunting your money”
“My money? You know it is yours, Cupcake” I moved away from the wall I had been leaning against and walked up to Lisa who was sitting by the bedside.
“Just give me a clue. Where are we going to?”
“A clue…. Somewhere beautiful? But just not as beautiful as you, still?” I pinched the top of her nose and she blushed softly.
I reached my hand out to her hair and gently ran my fingers through it. Her hair felt so good to touch. Something almost pushed me to grab her hair, get her down on her fours right now and fuck her from behind but I quickly pulled my hand away from her hair before I would end up doing just that.
My phone beeped with a message and I pulled it out, checking the message.
“Diane visited Sandro. I couldn’t hear what they discussed but she left unscathed” the message read.
My brows arched for a second but as Lisa pulled close to look into my phone, I immediately tucked it back into my pocket.
She frowned at me.
“It’s nothing, Cupcake. Do you think it’s some woman?” I asked in a playful tone to ease the tension which had quickly built up in the air.
I pulled her cheeks and she pouted her lips even more, shutting her eyes for a second. So cute.
Watching her pouted lips reminded me of how those lips wrapped around my cock. Shit! I was getting out of my mind.
‘Get a grip, you horny bastard’ I scolded myself mentally and pulled my hand away from her cheek.
“Time to leave” I lifted her into my arms and got up.
Lisa stared at me, almost dreamily.
“Realising yet again how gorgeous I am?” I asked and she buried her face in my chest for a second.
“The vacation. It would be the best. It would put everything back in place. Hopefully” she whispered.
