Love Against All Odds Chapter No.60
Emilia/ Lillian Montigue:-I didn't know when I fell asleep but when I woke up, it was already past Lily's bedtime and she was asleep in her room peacefully with her favorite stuff toy in her hand. I went inside to place a kiss on her forehead then stepped out of her room in search of Lucas who was nowhere to be found.I was beyond hungry so I went in the kitchen to find something to eat when the front door to the apartment opened and entered Lucas with his office bag and some file and blue prints in his hands. When he found me in the kitchen, he placed everything down and approached me as he leaned down and placed a sweet and passionate, toe curling kiss on my lips that left me breathless and melt into his arms."Hey, beautiful." he murmurs in a husky voice after breaking our kiss " You hungry?""Yes," I answered playing with the buttons of his dress shirt seductively "But not for food anymore." he growled when he heard me say that because the next moment he picked me up in his arms,
Love Against All Odds Chapter 1: Hoping for a Change
Emily FosterAs the sun sank beneath the skyline of the metropolis, casting a warm golden glow over the busy streets, I disappeared into the depot. It was a long day in the layout studio, where I put my creativity into the painting project that feeds my hours. But no matter how tired I was, my heart of hearts turned to light, because my precious Lily was waiting for me at home.My mature, round-eyed daughter became a gentle beacon in my life.

After the chaotic whirlwind of my failed marriage, I had vowed to love and was focusing all my happiness on my precious daughter.We lived in a nice rental apartment on the outskirts of the big city, in a neighborhood full of families that ended up being like our own second family to us. The experience of interacting here has been fascinating, and I wasn’t sure it was anywhere else.Walking through the streets of the big city, my min
Love Against All Odds Chapter 2: A Chance Encounter
Lucas Bennet"Lucas, could you please for one second pretend that you are enjoying the gala for my sake? Because everyone is noticing that you are bored which is not good for me and your father's reputation?" my mom asked, dressed up in a beautiful black silk designer full-length dress. Her pepper hair was tied up in a messy bun while my father stood beside her dressed up in a tuxedo with an arrogant and proud expression on his face like always."Stop asking me to pretend for what I can't, Mom. Enough is enough; besides, I am getting bored of these shits every day. I want change in my life. For once, I want to live life my way. I am not even allowed to do that? Am I asking for too much?" I asked my mother in a low whispered voice as I glanced around the grand ballroom decorated with opulent decoration."Stop embarrassing us, Lucas, Instead go and try to mingle with the crowd. Talk to the daughters of businessmen who can meet our standards. You need to get married and produce an heir o
Love Against All Odds Chapter 3: The Feeling is Mutual
Emily Foster "Yes, I am her mother. She is my daughter, Lily Foster now you can go and see yourself out because you must be trying to come up with an excuse to get out of this situation now because no one wants to date a single mother which is why I am giving you an easy way out. Go!" I snapped at Lucas. For the first time after Daniel I felt attracted to someone, I would say beyond attracted, the type of attraction I didn't even feel with my ex-husband but when he asked me if I had a daughter, I forgot about it and snapped. Lucas looked at me with a frown while Sarah pinched my arm and asked me to shut up. "I am sorry if I made you feel this way, but that is not how I meant. It's just I was shocked to see that you have a daughter because you don't look like one. That is coming out wrong once again. It's just I am nervous because I want to impress you and this is the first time I am like this in front of a woman. Maybe, because I didn't feel like this with anyone else. What I mea
Love Against All Odds Chapter 4: A Company Project
Emily Foster:"Emily, you need to tell me what the hell happened at the gala last night that made you flee from there in a hurry? One moment you were catching up really well with the billionaire and the next you were running away from him. Why? Do you know who was he? He is the richest man alive in New York City, and the woman he was interested in you. He even didn't mind that you have a daughter and are divorced." my best friend scolded me and I rolled my eyes at her as I began to step out of Sarah's car for work after dropping Lily to school."Sarah, I love you but please don't scold me like this for a man who has already got a woman in his arms. He was just looking for a fling, nothing serious. All the men are the same. Why can't you see that?" I asked Sarah "I am not looking for a relationship because it will only hurt Lily in the end. I don't want my daughter to be heartbroken if she gets attached to Lucas or any other man.""That's where you are lying and wrong about, dear fri
Love Against All Odds Chapter 5: The Five Hour Game
Emily Foster "How did you find me?" I asked this question as soon as we were in my boss's office and the door was closed. "A piece of advice. Never tell your full real name to the billionaire because they have got quite some sources everywhere to look for any person, anywhere. You told me your last name, even Lily told me her name. I just contacted my source and asked him to search you for me and get me every detail he can get." Lucas replied taking steps towards me while I took steps back. I could see the look and desire in his eyes as he moved close to me. He wants me, just like I want him but I can't give in at any cost. "Stand back, don't come close to me," I tell Lucas who raised his left brow and asked. "I will come close to me because I am afraid you are going to run away from me and that is the last thing I ever want in my life. Now, tell me why did you run away from me?" he asked in a husky voice once he had me caged between his body and the glass wall as I was left with n
Love Against All Odds Chapter 6: I accept the offer
Emily FosterI believed that my survival capabilities, which included great strength while raising up Lilly, were something worth acknowledging. It was a bitter lesson that I had learned by then that people were not worth trusting because they let you down. It was a hard lesson exemplified by my ex-husband; he had shattered my trust and left me with a broken heart to mourn for the life I once knew.When I walked out of my boss Jared's office holding my hands shaking with fear Lucas Bennett's business card, it appeared to me that another tough decision was ahead of me. Time was running out, and with a mere 5 hours left for decision-making, I got an offer to work with Lucas on his graphic design company’s project. This would be an ideal chance to reach my financial goals within only half a year, though, at a heavy cost.There was a niggling suspicion at the back of my mind that Lucas had been more fascinated with me than with my professional skills. I felt vulnerable and exposed after h
Love Against All Odds Chapter 7: The Attraction is there
Emily FosterJust as the sun set, there was a knock at my apartment door. When I opened it, Lucas stood there immaculately dressed in an expensively tailored suit. He had a commanding presence, and I felt like I had butterflies in my stomach.“Emily,” he whispered, grinning and genuinely pleased, as I put an effort into trying to look good for our meeting.“Let’s get down to business,” I said, still maintaining my poise. I invited him to come and sit down on one side while I sat opposite him. Lucas, who was frowning, moved closer to him as if in deep thought.“Okay, Emily, let us be formal in this conversation since we are just talking about the project.”I nodded and started mentioning my conditions. These conditions were strictly enforced: a firm work schedule, clear communication boundaries, and a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to protect any information about the project. I was not taken away by his glance anywhere else, as Lucas listened keenly."Yes, Emily, I accept all your con
