Sex scene ahead, close your eyes if you can't watch it.
Samira's rented car pulled over at Alima's residence. she jumped out of the car and flew into her friend's waiting arms.
"It's okay to cry, just release it", she rubbed her back meanwhile her maids had already arranged her box in the guest room.
"I don't know what to do Ali, is it my fault that I can't get the man I want?" She hiccupped
"Come on, you are a successful diplomat, a high-ranking member of the UN and have obtained PhDs in many fields of specialization. Which man wouldn't want you by his side? The man is just blind. I would advise you to give up on him"
"If I give up on him, I would remain single till I die", she gritted her teeth.
"You dare do no such thing, someone out there is dying to give the whole world to you. Jay has been disturbing me to talk to you. He loves you".
Samira scoffed at her words.
"That ginger-haired guy? To hell with him and his whole world. He should take good and look at himself in the mirror. I hate the sight of him and it makes me want to throw up. Uhh", she feigned retch
"You are so unbelievable Samira. Don't regret it when someone who loves you gives up on you because of this behaviour of yours", she left her behind and went into the house.
"Jay?? Darn him", she muttered. "Who cares about his love?"
She snorted and went inside.
All efforts to find Samira were in vain, even Alima testified that she hasn't seen her and not heard from her. Who wouldn't protect their friendship? That's how Samira hid till they gave up on searching for her.
Today was scheduled for Aarna's surgery. Lucas has made sure everything was put in place and all emergency services were on standby.
Violet had dark circles around her eyes, she waited downstairs for Lucas who descended in a dishevelled state. Both said nothing to each but only exchanged glances but when their eyes met, they looked away. The kids noticed how distant they seemed to be.
"Beautiful aunty is fighting with handsome uncle?"
The adults exchanged glances, Violet was at a loss for what to say. Lucas cleared his throat and explained a few things to their understanding.
Both set out on a journey, Lucas had already known the outcome of the discussion he had with the Prime minister through the men he placed in Dubai. He knew that Samira had left home in a fit of rage and was nowhere to be seen.
Lucas snorted because he knew exactly where she is hiding. Unknown to him, not only did he snort and laugh mentally but he did it unconsciously.
Violet gave him a disdainful glance which he ignored, he wanted her to calm down before he explain everything to her. Women are always impulsive and irrational in behaviour, especially in sensitive situations like this.
He simply told the chauffeur to take a detour to a flower shop, he bought some flowers to convey a well-being message.
He gave more than the amount to the sales girl who smiled and waved at him, Lucas smiled back. Violet saw everything through the car window and sneered. Ladies man indeed!
Always attracts women wherever he goes.
If Lucas had heard her thoughts he would have known who his little woman was. Why would women be so jealous and protective of their men? This... baffled him.
The operation started immediately after they arrived, Violet went emotional but tried to comport herself to avoid being comforted by that man.
After several hours had passed, the doctor came out and requested a blood donation from the relatives. None of the girls wished to do it, Violet wouldn't allow Saanvi to do it as her body wouldn't be able to hold on for long and she was well advanced in years.
"Doctor, I will do it", she came forward and looked anxious.
Lucas frowned and gave the doctor a deathly stare. The doctor was speechless, he realized that this is the boss lady in front is him.
What could he do at this point? Please, boss, spare me.
"Actually madam, I don't think we need it anymore".
"Why? She was alarmed. This is the human life we are talking about. How do you expect me to ignore my grandmother's life?"
"I will donate mine", Lucas stepped forward with pulled sleeves and the doctor shrank his neck in fear.
After the entire screening and donation, Aarna's condition stabilized some hours after the transfusion.
Violet heaved a sigh of relief and slumped onto the couch in the suite. Lucas staggered after the donation, although he acted strong violet knew he was just putting up the act. she asked the hospital kitchen for some ingredients and she made nourishing soup for him.
Despite everything that happened between them, she still regarded him as the first man she fell in love with.
She was still feeding Lucas who kept looking at her but she avoided his eyes. Just as she fed the last spoonful of soup to him, her phone rang. the number was unknown but she answered, the familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang through.
📳"Violet, how are you? I'm back in the country, I'm wondering if we could meet and chat up?"
📳"Chris??"
📳"Your memory is not doing bad at all"
📳"Darn you Chris", she laughed out loud and for the first time since they had a misunderstanding she laughed in a carefree manner and her eyes shone with beauty.
Violet felt an intense stare on her, she left the place and went somewhere else to continue the conversation.
Violet kept smiling to herself after the call ended, Lucas watched her from a distance and felt sad.
Walking up to her, he asked, "Is he better than me?"
Violet was stunned but soon realized that it might be guesswork because nobody told him that she was talking to a guy. Well, what an opportunity to pay him back, an evil idea formed in her head.
Turning to face him with the most beautiful smile he had ever seen, "There is no need to compare yourself to him, he is a gentleman who is on another level. Between someone who lied to you and someone you are yet to know, who would you choose?" She turned around and left him in a dazed state.
Lucas was conflicted and felt like he was a failure. Would she believe him if he told her that he is not having an affair outside this relationship?
He would explain things to her when the time is right.
Violet hasn't had time to take the kids out for fun, since it was an emergency flight she didn't take many things into account. She had planned to take the kids out to have fun before they travel back to the USA.
She took out her debit card to order a matching outfit, thinking about the man in the room upstairs, she ordered for a family of four with estimated heights from her imagination.
"I would like to take the kids out for fun", she told him that night.
"I will make arrangements for that", he concentrated on working on the laptop before him. His workload had accumulated over a few days back and he had to sort it out with immediate effect. They had not been talking to each other for some time now and Violet had missed the warmth of his caresses. She wanted to say something but hesitated.
Lucas stopped what he was doing and raised his eyebrows in askance. Violet pursed her lips.
"Anything else?"
"No....., nothing else", she got up and left the room. but what he said next halted her steps at the door.
" I have always been faithful to you. I have no cause to cheat on you when I have ever wanted is in you", he came up behind her. "Samira is Dubai's Prime Minister's daughter. She is the lady who called, she crazily wants me but....", his slender fingers caressed her cheeks and she sucked in a sharp breath.
"I have a hidden treasure at home, why would I look at an open treasure", Violet felt faint happiness erupt in her heart.
After his preamble, he turned her around and kissed her passionately till they ended up in the bed. They both wanted it, this should have been done ever since.
Getting entangled with each other, Violet saw how much he desired her. She subtly nodded and gave him approval.
"Are you sure? I don't mind waiting until you are ready. We don't have to do this now".
"Make me your woman tonight", she whispered into his ears and the hot breath famed the Flames of passion in him.
Designing her entire body with wet kisses, he looked at the beautiful woman under him. Her eyes narrowed due to too much-suppressed passion.
"You are wasting so much time, I feel like exploding".
"Allow me to water the garden thoroughly first", he whispered with a hoarse voice.
Lucas explored every part of her body before he set himself at her entrance.
"I will be gentle, just tell me when you feel sore", Violet nodded and the next moment he entered her and they became one flesh.
Violet moaned in pain, it's been a while since she had a man. Lucas was tightly wrapped around by her so he thrust back gently and after a few attempts, his movement turn into fluid. He began a marathon race and grabbed her hips. Violet twisted her hips and kept up with his rhythm while groaning loudly in pleasure. Panting and digging her nails into his back in ecstasy, she threw her head back. She couldn't help wrapping her legs around him as he rode her for a long time.
After switching through several positions, they both released at the same time with Violet's voice being the loudest. Their bodies shone with sweat and her hair stuck to her face. Lucas couldn't take his eyes off her for a second and immense satisfaction was written all over his face.
He picked her up and took her to the bathroom to clean her up. How could he resist such a beauty, he had her against the bathroom wall but violet protested.
"Be good, just this once. I will soon be done, let's say ten minutes", Violet bite him when he didn't keep to his word.
He finally let her go and took her to the room after dressing her up. This man's stamina is quite good. She felt at peace with herself such that she drifted to sleep faster than she thought.
Lucas trusted her with the whole of his heart and did not doubt her fidelity to him. This was not his first time, he had given it to a strange woman some years ago. A woman whose face he couldn't remember, Violet's soft moans and the way she groaned in protest reminded him of that woman. He berated himself for thinking of another woman when he had just had the most delicious dish in the world.
At Dax media by 10 am, New York City.
Dax media had started hyping up the forthcoming audition on different media platforms. Thousands of applications were sent almost daily. They needed only fifty for the competition and in the end, only five artists would be signed on.
Being the youngest and fortunately the most experienced manager in the industry, Miss Clemson had already put everything in place concerning Violet. She would never make any mistake because this is the boss lady's case.
In her professional suit, she stepped into the conference room with confidence. She had styled her blonde hair in a beautiful yet simple way.
The previous night, she had sent Violet's training session schedule to Lucas to go through. As expected of the boss, he was so efficient that a comprehensive and detailed schedule was produced and it gave Violet more resting periods.
She is the woman he has set his mind to. pampering for the great of his life hence he would give no one permission to stress her up.
The other managers were previously not happy with her presence in the company because her aura overshadowed them and they looked like a speck of dust.
Naturally, her strategy for the audition was not accepted by them so she gave up.
