Lucas’ feet carried him through the hallways of the company slowly, making it seem to anyone who was watching that he was trying to locate the lounge room that Tobias had mentioned earlier. He walked around, his eyes casually checking out the wall for any signs of security cameras just so that he could be very careful.Lucas stopped when he noticed that there were no cameras in any of the hallways he had passed. Were they really that confident that nothing bad would ever happen that they chose not to put any cameras up? It was weird, Lucas had to admit it but for some reason, he knew that with this family, there was more than met the eye. In the end, Lucas decided that after he looked around for some time, he would locate the security room, if they had one, and try to delete the footage of him snooping around if he could. Lucas had no idea where any of the rooms were, especially since he hadn’t been in the building before, but luckily for him, whoever designed the building was a stic

“Stop the car.” Lucas said to the driver, already seeing his new plan being put into motion. He would give Nicole a taste of her own medicine.“Uh, sir, are you sure? This isn’t a nice part of town.” The driver asked, trying to convince Lucas with a frown on his face.“I doubt they could do anything,” Lucas mentioned as he placed his hand in his pocket to grab some money.“They might have measly gifts, but do not underestimate them. They’re dangerous.” The driver warned Lucas with a cautious gaze. “I’ll pay you double if you stop this car.” Lucas offered, pushing the money in the man’s face, looking at him through the rear-view mirror. He could see the driver huff at the offer but give in at the end. The man pulled over hesitantly. Lucas handed him the twenty dollar bill and got out of the car, looking around the neighborhood as the cab pulled out and drove off quickly. “You lost?” Lucas heard a thick voice from behind him. He turned around to see an African American man, nearing hi

“I’m alive and best believe that, as of tonight, your days are numbered. You will never leave this room. I will kill you, Nicole Waterson.” Lucas told her, his voice laced with venom but also the truth. Nicole whimpered for a moment as she watched his eyes, but it didn’t last long before her bad side came out, and she wanted to make a deal to get out of her punishment. With her leg, Nicole pushed Lucas off her chair, wanting some air since him being too close to her was suffocating. “So, what do you want? Because if you did want me dead you would have done it by now.” Nicole asked him, already knowing the answer to that question but trying to draw out her sentence even longer. She needed to find a way to get out of her situation and if that meant telling Lucas whatever he needed to hear, then she was going to do it. “What if I wanted to just torture you before I went ahead to kill you?” Lucas poked at her with a small evil smile, not bothered that she kicked him away because the lo

It had been only some days since Lucas and Gregory had arrived at the Graham mansion, and with what Gregory had told him about what Emilia was doing to him, it really was hell on earth for the man. It took Gregory almost an hour of reliving his abusive days with that woman and intermittent crying before he ended with a sniffle and somehow retreated back into his shell. Lucas’ hands were still on him as a form of comfort to the man. Lucas finally understood why the man was always quiet and distant from the group in their room. He wasn’t uptight and snobbish. The man had been silently fighting a losing battle and the raging emotions within him all because a woman who could literally have anything she wanted couldn’t keep it in her pants for someone who was already taken. She had used her power and status to force this man to do what he didn’t want to. It was a situation that most people wouldn’t want to believe, but it was true, and it was ever present in society. Gregory was constant

The car went back to the Graham company without wasting any time and immediately Lucas and Tobias got out of the car, they headed inside to continue the day. Like the day before, Lucas had searched around the company, sneaking into rooms and eavesdropping on private conversations to see if there was any new thing that he would find, but unfortunately for him all he heard was trivial office gossip and the random declaration of love some of the women had towards Tobias. It was disgusting and embarrassing to say the least, but he didn’t let it bring his hope down. Through all the hullabaloo of moving around the office in his somewhat free time, Lucas wasn’t able to find out any more damning information on Tobias and his mother or the company. Even when he went back to the archive room, Lucas was not successful in revealing any secrets. With a sigh, he left the room and headed back to the lounge room where some of the employees of the company sat down and mingled with one another. Lucas
