"You are awake?" His eyes widen and he adjusts on his seat as his eyes peer tenderly on her and in a whiff he forgets all she earlier babbled.
Juliet scoffs and rolls her eyes at him and sighs softly patting her aching head tenderly. "I've been awake for a long time now thinking about several things Lucien. And the most painful part of them is you! I thought you dead! And to be honest you are the last soul I want to see right now because I hate you so fucking much! I deeply do!" She pats her head trying so hard to hold back her tears but it flows freely down her cheeks.
He lowers his head as her words cut him so deeply and stretch his hand to hold her but she shoves it away and glares at him. "I didn't mean to leave Juliet. You were there years ago when your dad said all the things he said to me. You..."
"And so fucking what!" She barks interrupting him and groans out as the aching in her head intensifies due to her scream. He tries to hold her but she scowls at
Back in Royal hospital after watching Lucien leave with scary eyes, Mr. Santiago and his wife Mrs. Avery both run into Juliet's ward to see if she was hurt by that poor thing, so they ask their daughter Juliet if she is okay. "Princess are you alright? Did he hurt you again? what did he say to you darling?" She doesn't say a word but instead, she just closes her eyes. They irritate her right now, she can't bear to say a word because her thoughts are not hers at the moment. She just couldn't possibly understand the fact that Lucien came back after all this time. 'After all these years he just shows up out of the blue?' Thoughts like that cloud her mind that having her parents all over her isn't what she needs right now. She just needs to be alone. It wasn't long after closing her eyes, she fell asleep. The Pearsons leave the room so she can sleep in a quiet and conducive atmosphere. They go to the counter to make payments but what happens takes them all by surprise. "I'm sor
"What! What do you mean by that? How was he released?" "Someone from the high ups called me. I had no choice but to let him go, else I won't be much of a sheriff any longer." Immediately the sheriff says that, he hangs up and Mr. Santiago throws away his cell phone and it smashes against the wall. Mrs. Avery rushes into the room at the sound of the noise and her eyes widen sighting the shattered phone on the floor. "What's wrong Love, talk to me, please. Will you?" She stares softly at him. "It's the sheriff, he just told me that Lucien is out of jail." "How is that? How could he go scot-free? Like, who could possibly be that person who released him? Did the sheriff say anything about that?" "I didn't get to ask about that due to my emotions hun, you can see, can't you?" He holds his chest as he starts breathing rapidly. "No Santiago. Please don't do this, you are hyperventilating right now. Take a deep breath Love" Mrs. Avery rushes to him while tears tend to overwhelm her. Sh
The Pearsons all run after the man that just barged into their mansion. "What sort of nonsense is this?!" Mrs. Avery yells as she sees Lucien sitting on her expensive couch, his legs crossed as he grins at them while fiddling with his fingers. "How dare you come into my house, you filthy piece of garbage!" Mr. Santiago barks, staring daggers at the young man before him. Juliet comes in at that moment, Brianna rushing after her. Her eyes land on the handsome man seated on the couch, grinning at her parents. "Lucien, What are you doing?" She half yells as she glares at him. "My love" Lucien calls out as he stands up, approaching her with a smile on his face. His hands reach out to hold on to hers. Juliet furiously slaps away his hands as she glares at him. "Don't you dare touch me, Lucien! What sort of nonsense is this? What do you think you're doing?" "Darling, this Lucien is good for nothing!" Mrs. Avery cries out. "He's just come back to ruin our lives!" "Get the fuck out of
Juliet runs up the fleet of stairs as she heads for her room. Reaching her room, she enters and bangs the door close, and runs to her bed. She crashes her face first on the king-sized bed and lets all her bottled-up tears fall. She cries and cries feeling the pain resurfacing all over again. All those years she had to suffer because of what Lucien had done. The humiliation, the mocking, the pain. It had almost led her to commit suicide. She would have most definitely been dead by now if that stupid Brooks did not save her. Juliet hated Lucien but she despises that disgusting Brooks even more. She is glad the wedding had been called off otherwise, she wonders what she would have done. Juliet is sure Brooks has a hidden agenda behind marrying her, but her parents fail to see that. They worship Brooks as they refuse to see the reason. Different thoughts rush through her mind as she lies there. Soon sleep washes over her and her world goes pitch black. Lucien walks up the grand st
Lucien freezes and swallows a lump of spittle as he hears what she just said. He's lost for words as he stands there, staring at Juliet who stares back at him. Juliet thinks Lucien doesn't take her seriously so she raises the knife about to slit her wrist. "Juliet!" Lucien screams, raising his hands up above his head in surrender but still doesn't leave. Juliet stops just before the knife touches her skin. "I'm really serious," she says again. "Okay fine" he exhales, "I'll leave but please, put the knife down." He whispers as he steps backward. Lucien tries to say something again but Juliet grits her teeth, showing him the knife. He sighs and quietly steps out of the room. Mrs. Avery twists and turns on her bed. She can't bring herself to sleep after what happened earlier today. She turns facing the other direction and sees her husband is wide awake too. "Hubby, you're still awake?" She asks and widens her eyes, pretending to be surprised. "How can I sleep when that good-fo
The Pearsons are finally done with their breakfast. They had ignored Lucien throughout and pretended like he never existed. Juliet excused herself as she received a phone call from the office. She had not attended to the matters of the office since before her wedding. She walks to the living room to receive the call. One by one every one stands up to leave the dining table. That's after they each glare at Lucien as they pass him by. Lucien chuckles as the Pearsons all walk out on him. Their behaviors always seem to amuse him with each passing day. His big phone suddenly vibrates in his pocket and he looks around to make sure no one is close by. Satisfied, he brings out the phone from his pocket and looks at the caller I.D. It is Declan his right-hand man. "Good morning Sir." The voice mutters at the other end of the line. "Good morning Declan, I thought I said you shouldn't call me." Lucien frowns as his eyes dart around making sure no one is seeing him. "Yes Sir. I'm sorry
'I hate you' that one sentence keeps repeating itself in Lucien's mind as he stands there unable to move. He had been standing there for quite a while now since Juliet left him in the garden. He could see the anger in her face as she spat those hurtful words. Lucien couldn't remove that face from his mind as he feels like his heart is breaking over and over again just by seeing that face. Could she? Could she really hate him? He wonders as his heart tugs painfully in his chest. Did Juliet really mean all she just said or did she say all that in a fit of rage? He runs his hands through his thick hair and sighs. His love for Juliet is certainly going to drive him crazy one day. He doesn't know what to do as he stands there looking at the door Juliet's body had disappeared into minutes ago. His eyes suddenly harden and he balls his fist. He would most definitely fight for his love. It doesn't matter. He could lose anything else but he would never ever give up on Juliet. Never
Juliet comes out of the bathroom drying her wet hair with a small towel as she walks across the large room. She has just finished taking a shower and heads to her built-in closet, which is at the other end of her room. She hums a song as she enters the closet and looks around, trying to decide on what to wear. After contemplating for a little while, she settles on a pink crop top and jeans, which she quickly puts on before she grabs her phone and exits the room. Juliet is just walking out of her room when she feels her phone vibrating. She peeks at the phone screen and sees it's a call from the office. She sighs and quickly swipes across the screen to answer the call. Since it had been a while she's been at the office, she's been getting so many calls now and then. "Yes? Tell me." She mumbles immediately after the call gets connected. Maria, her secretary's thin voice rings out from the other end. Juliet rubs her forehead a little as she hears Maria making her report. "Ah!" S
