Andi stood there, surprised. What was she ever doing in Los Angeles?
"Mrs Crest!" His jaw dropped open at the sight of her. "It's Miss Lieu, my husband and I separated." She corrected him with a pleasant smile that showed she wasn't angry but Andi thought to apologize immediately. "Oh my mistake, I am so sorry. I didn't know." Lucy Lieu, beautiful and fearless. With eyes of that of an ocean storm yet an aura like a peaceful wind. Her small yet slightly plum lips always wore a smile whenever she wasn't angry and her thin eyes were forever knowing. A black suit shirt and trouser that seemed almost not her size hung on her body with the shirt's buttons opened to reveal a white top in the inside. The woman never wore heels unless she was at an exceptionally important meeting but on other occasions, no matter what she was wearing, she always put on canvas shoes of her choice. She worked with his father when the company was still fine. She was his personal assistant and most trusted ally before she had to marry and relocate to her home town in China. Andi wondered if she returned to Los Angeles because of her divorce but he wasn't going to ask her that. He excused himself to change from his wet clothes and dry the ones in his bag before returning to join her back in the shop. His boss, Lilly had told him to start immediately so he started by mopping the floors he had wet while Lucy walked with him with a cup of instant coffee in her hand to warm herself. "I came here for some business and decided to check out the streets when the rain started. My driver will be here any minute and I want you to come with me to my place. There's too much to discuss." She explained. "I just got this job and I can't walk out as I wish on my first day." Andi responded with his attention to the wet floors. "Maybe we can meet up after?" "Mr Emerson, allow me to be informal with you?" She asked and Andi nodded. She continued. "Andi, you don't need this job, there's so much you don't know." Andi sighed. "My mother is sick in a hospital and I have to find some way to pay the bills or she'll get kicked out. That bloody bastard will do as he says!" He spat out angrily, gripping the mop tightly. "How much is the bill? Let's go there together right now and pay for it." Andi's eyes widened but only for a second. Lucy was from a rich family and working for her father, he also paid good money. "I can't take money from you." "It's not my money... It's yours." Her words caused his head to turn dramatically and look at her confusedly. His expression questioned her and she nodded her head. *** Andi had always been the kind of person that hated taking people's kindness for granted and his boss, Lilly, had been kind to him. Irrelevant of what Lucy said, he worked till the day was over before heading over to the hospital with her to visit his mother. Immediately he walked into the hospital's premises, Stan was there and ambushed him with hateful words. "You useless prick in the finger!" He berated. "Didn't I tell you to come and pick up your trash mother? Are you trying to wreck my business?!" Andi's head fell in shame and embarrassment. He opened his mouth to speak but Lucy was already talking. "Long time no see Mr Manchester. I'll have the bills cleared as soon as we can go in and we will take her to a better hospital." She held Andi's hand and led him inside. Stan was left tongue tied as he watched them like a fool. After showing her his mother's room, Lucy asked Andi to go in first while she settled the bills and he silently obliged. His mother was awake. Her beauty had begun to fade due to her illness but she was still the most beautiful woman ever to Andi. "Hey mom, how are you feeling?" He said with a smile. "I'm alright..." She responded weakly. She would have been far better than that if doctor Stan hadn't stopped administering the proper treatment for her. Because Andi couldn't pay, he gave her enough to keep her alive but not to heal her. Lucy walked in just then. Her heart ached at the sight she saw but she managed a smile and bowed her head. "Mrs Emerson, always a great pleasure to see you." The woman smiled back. "Lucy... I haven't seen you in years..." They got into small talks about how they had been and Lucy confessed to having only found out about their bankruptcy a while ago. After her divorce, she had spent time healing at a temple. "Mrs Emerson, there's something I'd like to explain to you and Andi." Lucy started. "I worked for Mr Emerson for ten years before I got married and I still worked for him a year after. Mr Emerson has a paper company that he uses for private deals and a secret account. When I got back to Los Angeles, I did research and found out everything was still intact, including the funds!" She looked from mother to son as she explained. Andi had an unreadable expression on his face but she didn't let that interrupt her as she spoke. "I only got back a few weeks ago and I set out to find you ever since then. I was lucky to have bumped into you today, Andi. With what's left, you can take over and change your lives!" "Wait," Andi finally spoke. "You mean... We are rich?" "The secret paper company was in your name, Andi. You are a billionaire." She responded, her voice as sweet as it had always been. Andi felt his throat run dry in an instant and his insides turned confusedly. He was... A billionaire?!

∆59: House reopening
Andi woke up with a tired yawn. He had spent the entire night going through files about his company and only got a few hours of sleep. He went to the kitchen to make himself a cup of coffee. Lucy was already there, making herself some warm tea to drink. She was putting on a small short and a white spaghetti arm singlet. Her bottom and thighs were revealed. Andi walked up to her and pressed himself against her while hugging her waist. “Good morning my love.” He muttered against her ear with a kiss. She smiled. “Morning. I thought to make you some tea to replenish your strength.” “How thoughtful of you. Thank you.” He kissed her cheek. “Did you sleep well?”“Next to you, I always sleep well.” She responded while turning the content of a cup with a small spoon. His hand trailed inside her singlet and caressed her soft small breast. “I'm glad to hear that. Likewise. Shouldn't you be resting up though?”“I'm fine. This tea will replenish the strength for all the sleep you missed out
∆58: Punishment tool
Justin's brow arched, his smile disappearing into the blink of an eye. He scoffed a laugh and buried his hands in the depth of his pocket. “You would like to call it quits after two months into the marriage? Months? Not years honey, months!” “Do you think I want to?” She asked him. “Oh so this is my fault?” He took a hand out of his pocket and pressed it on his chest as he asked her. “Yes, Justin!” She angrily responded. “You had sex with my biological sister!” She pointed at Mable as she lamented. “You told her you love her!”“She is a tool. That's all she is.” He plainly responded. “Oh, you mean a tool just like me?” Her brow arched. “Yeah, I'm tired of all these tools you keep talking about. I will no longer be your tool, Justin.” She stated firmly. “Oh trust me, you won't. For the next nine months at least. Sorry you're too months gone already so for the next seven months.” He walked towards the bed with one hand in his pocket as he talked. “What are you talking about?” Her
∆57: Let's get a divorce
Taylor's eyes shone with surprise and shame. She wanted to teach her sister a lesson for messing with her in such a terrible way but Justin decided to disgrace her like that. “Are you calm now?” He asked her with an arched brow. “Do you need another one?”She stared confusedly at him. “What is the meaning of this? Justin, what is the meaning of this?! For other reasons, you can hit me, but not for this.” “Taylor, you're pregnant.” She squinted. “That I already know, why are you telling me?” Her brow subconsciously arched. Mable's jaw dropped. *You're pregnant?!”Both Taylor and Justin ignored her like she wasn't standing there. Justin continued. “What do you expect me to do? Have sex with you while you're carrying my baby? What if something happens to the baby?” “Justin,” Taylor scoffed a laugh. “I am pregnant, I am not dying! Besides, a pregnant woman needs to have sex too! It helps delivery become a little easier.”“You could get hurt!” He lashed out and she flinched at the ab
∆56: Almost killing her
Justin and Mable flinched apart at the sound of her scream but rather than looking apologetic, Justin looked angry and Mable had a look on her face that said she didn't care. "J--J--Ju--Justin--""What are you doing here?!" Justin snapped at her. "Why the hell are you here?""Wha--I--" she stuttered. Her emotions were worse than a train wreck, she didn't even understand how she was feeling. Justin climbed off the bed and pushed her out of the room. "Get out! Get out!! You are ruining my mood by acting like a fool! How dare you interrupt my orgasm?!" "But... Justin!" Before she could talk, he slammed the door in her face and locked the door. "Come here baby!" She heard her sister exclaim. "Drive me crazy with your mad skills." She heard Justin's evil chuckle and almost immediately, they began moaning and screaming out of explicit pleasure. Tears poured down Taylor's face where she stood. She struggled with the door but it wouldn't budge. "Justin, please stop! Justin please!" "O
∆55: She screamed
They had said goodbye to Joel and Ryan after Pearl forced them to stay in time for dinner. She had prepared one of her delicious meals and they all enjoyed the food together. Andi was sitting in his study, a pair of reading glasses hung on top of his nose and his eyes were fixed on the papers in his hand. He had changed into something to sooth the cool night. A grey T-shirt and a baggy ash colored pants. His hair was a messy curls in a handsome way. A hand touched his shoulder and he looked to see Lucy standing behind him. She was putting on a bogus white top and white underwear. A smile touched her face as he looked up at her. He touched her hand with his and squeezed it softly. "Why aren't you asleep?" He asked her with his eyes returned to the paper in his hand."I could ask you the same." She walked over to a chair opposite his and sat down. "Everything okay?""Yeah, just going over some things..." He sat up straight and the paper file in his hand dropped to the table. "Hey, w
∆54: Conversations in the living room
Andi heaved a sigh as he took off his suit jacket. The day had given him no break or proper rest and all he wanted to do was fall into his bed and sleep till the next day's afternoon but he couldn't because Joel along side Ryan were both waiting in the living room. He heaved another sigh as his fingers ran through his hair before walking out of his master bedroom and joining the two. "Uncle! Bro! Thank you for coming to see me so late in the night." He smirked as he spoke."Ha ha ha," Joel faked a laugh. "I know you are displeased that we are ruining your night with your wife but still, we would have left ages ago if you hadn't left us to do your billionaire people only interview." Andi rolled his eyes and relaxed into his seat. "Ha! Nice one. I just wanted to sort some things and you know, do it for my fiancée." Lucy walked in just then, still in her tight mini dress and high heels. A tray sat on top of her hand and standing on it was a bottle of whiskey and three serving glasse
