Violet was lost in the blissful moment and Lucas took that opportunity to swoop her off her feet.
"Nah", she shrieked. " Put me down...."
"Lucas"
"Huh"
"I said my name is Lucas"
"Whatever", she became violent again.
He put her down when he entered his private elevator.
" Where are we going?"
"Should be asking you that".
" I want to go and check out the apartment I was given"
"I can ride you there"
"Can't you speak human language?"
"I'm speaking what you can understand".
" Don't use the "ride you" words again"
Lucas laughed so hard. "Oh, I get it. A certain person has a dirty mind".
" You are the one who has a dirty mind", she glared at him.
When they reached the parking lot, some people who recognized Lucas started pointing at him.
👤 "Is that not Arnold Jones' son?"
👤"You mean the abandoned one".
👤"I heard the father has transferred his shares to the other son".
👤 "He is already a failure, who is that girl with him? She wants to share in his misfortune"
Violet got to her understand who they were talking about. She was furious, how dare they speak about her saviour in that manner?
She struggled to rush forward and shut the trap on their faces. Lucas held her down.
"These people are mean, do something about it"
"Let them be, very soon they will write their names backwards"
"That's deep", gazed at him with starry eyes.
" It's a promise".
"I believe in you"
Lucas gave the ladies a cold glance and went away with Violet in tow.
The penthouse given to violet was in the upscale part of New York and had a swimming pool which oversaw the whole city. the whole apartment had a ceiling-to-floor glass wall.
She gushed at the exterior and couldn't wait to see the interior.
"Welcome Miss Oliver", Lizzy's voice sounded when she stepped into the house.
" Don't tell me this house is computerized", she looked at Lucas in amazement and he nodded.
"Mids Oliver, you are welcome to your new home".
"Thank you, you are?"
"I'm Lizzy and I will always be at your service Miss Oliver"
"This is unbelievable, I mean it's too much to take all these in. Tell me, will I be able to sleep tonight. It's ridiculously expensive", she grabbed Lucas's hands.
" Clayton's group of industries has the resources to do more than this"
"Is it safe to stay here? I feel like this house can fly"
Lucas laughed and doubled over. " How we're you able to pass your 12th grade, you are so silly".
"I'm being serious here Lucas".
" This house cannot fly, you watch too many animations".
Violet stomped her feet and went off to explore the other parts of the penthouse. She ran her hands over the equipment in the kitchen and couldn't help but think that she may need to use hers in case she damages them.
She turned around and bumped into a hard wall. She looked up at him and couldn't help but felt short.
Lucas caged her between himself and the kitchen cabinets. Violet knew what was about to come and she was nervous.
He grabbed her face and ran his fingers over her lips while lowering his head. His phone rang and Violet cursed internally.
"Hello, I get it", he seemed irritated.
He placed his forehead on hers and rubbed her back gently.
" I will be leaving the country for a while", Violet's eyes teared.
"How long....., when will you come back?"
"Two weeks I guess"
"To where?"
"Dubai"
"Can you not go like today, maybe tomorrow?"
"My flight is leaving in the next two hours".
Violet clung to him and wet his shirt. Lucas couldn't bear to leave her too but it was an important research conference. As his new company will be unfolding the new project. If he should delay further, she may never be his in this lifetime.
"Let's be together. I mean more than friends"
"You idiot, I fell for you the very first time I saw you. Of course yes, we can be together".
Tsk tsk tsk, who asks someone out as Lucas does.
The more he looked at her, the more he couldn't hear to part with her. He lowered his head and captured her lips in a deep kiss. After a long time has passed they both panted.
" I will wait for you even If you are the abandoned son", he chuckled and rubbed her swollen red lips gently. He will wait patiently until she accepts him fully before he reveals his identity else it will scare her away.
He can't bear to lose her for any reason.
He took her home and Violet couldn't bear to part with him for a second. How will she survive for these two weeks?
Lucas had already made arrangements for her shadow guards, cook and every personnel even her hair stylist and masseur. He allocated a very expensive, unique and special car to her from his subsidiary.
After so much sobbing and kissing, she finally alighted. Lucas waited for her to get into the house before he drove off.
Violet stood right on the porch and watched everything that went on. She was extremely jealous but on second thought the car model is rarely seen and he is likely to be after her body. He will soon dump her, she smirked.
"Well well well, where have you been? My dinner is yet to be ready".
" I went out, don't I have the right?"
"You are becoming gutsier recently. He will dump you very soon".
" Not everyone is like your ex-boyfriend, Matthew".
She flung her hand towards her face and Violet caught it on instinct. "Nobody has the right to bully you without your consent" echoed in her ear.
Sandra was shocked and couldn't understand what was going on. Violet tugged her hands forcefully and she almost lost balance.
"How dare you touch me, you filthy thing", she screamed like a maniac.
" You don't have the right to go about slapping people".
"You are worth nothing that's why I ought to slap you".
The butler came in and announced that a food delivery man is outside.
" Where is he?"
"What has the delivery got to do with you?"
Violet was done tolerating all her excesses. She went out and received the package. She happily ticked the menu for the breakfast the next morning.
She skipped inside and the aroma from the means wafted into their nostrils.
"You gave you the effrontery to order meals on this house?"
"You can order but I can't?"
"Yes of course"
She looked closely at the hotel's logo on the package. When did this hotel start doing delivery? The last time she went there courtesy of a friend, their unfinished meals were not given to them. She still regretted not tasting their signature dishes. This can't be fake.
Sandra was flabbergasted. She immediately sent her people to find out how she got her hands on it.
Violet enjoyed her meal in her attic bedroom and lay down to rest. The door was kicked open suddenly.
"Now, tell me how the hell you get your hands on such an expensive food?"
"Mom, she is just trying to disgrace our family. What if she stole it?" She regretted not snatching the food from her earlier on. Sandra stared at her pouty red lips and felt like it's swollen. She looked carefully and smirked.
"Mom, a man brought her home this evening. Am sure these things are from him".
"You stinky slut, how dare you to go around shamelessly with men?" Violet evaded the slap and Mrs Miller stumbled forward.
"She dodged the slap, mom". Sandra used her left hand, Violet grabbed it and twisted it backwards.
" Mom.... oh mom". Sandra's voice hit the rooftop.
Mrs Miller's heart ached for her daughter. Despite being in that condition, Sandra still tried to trip violet but the latter stepped on her ankle and dislocated it.
"You evil child. Your slutty mother and bastard father did well in leaving you as an orphan". Do such words come from an elite? She would never allow outsiders much less likely someone like her to talk about her parents in that manner.
She gave her slaps with her both hands taking turns.
