In the darkness devourer speeding towards Valdan City, Luke glanced at Victoria who was seated Infront of him looking calm and composed.
"You sure you don't want to talk to your friends, it's possible you might never meet them again".
Victoria stared blankly at Luke without responding.
Back at Real View estate, Beatrice looked at the time.
She was worried, it was 1:30 am in the morning and Luke had not yet gotten home and she couldn't get through to him too.
She was regretting not getting to know Luke workers.
She wanted to call Diana but she also didn't want to her worry .
Thirty minutes later she saw a black Escalade approaching the house, she calmed down and breathed a huge sigh of relief.
When Luke stepped down from the front seat, Beatrice walked towards him.
She held him and inspected him looking for any signs of harm on him, this caught Luke off guard but came back to realization that she was worried about him since he didn't inform her, he would be late.
He let her do whatever she wanted because he was feeling a bit guilty, though he did not love her she was still his wife.
And seeing that she had anxiously waited for him all night made him feel warm in his heart, nobody had ever waited for him like this.
This feeling was warm and soothing, he liked it.
He won't mind getting used to this feeling at all, he really liked it.
"Are you ok? where have you been? are you facing any problems?".
Beatrice fired this questions in succession, Luke just stared down at her blue eyes since he was a head taller than her
"Am sorry I didn't tell you I would stay out late, I promise you that next time, I will be sure to tell you no matter what, and don't worry about me am fine".
He said while calmly brushing away the black hair on her face gently. This action froze Beatrice as she had never felt a man's touch.
Luke touch was warming and comforting, she had never felt such a feeling before.
"You guys are killing me with your show of affection over here. You know it's 2 in the morning, and it's very uncomfortable and weird seeing two people standing in front of their house touching themselves."
Beatrice blushed, Luke had a look of confusion, all he had wanted to do was apologize but somehow he had ended up caressing her hair, this was done in an unconscious state and he had only come back from it after being interrupted by John.
He glanced at Beatrice beautiful blushing face, she looked so beautiful now.
"Mrs Arckhman I hope you prepared dinner for your husband because he's very hungry, we wouldn't want him to starve right?"
John questioned shamelessly. Since he tasted Beatrice food the other day he couldn't stop thinking about it and all he wanted to do now was have another taste of it.
Luke glanced at him with a side eye, he very knew that John was only asking for his stomach sake.
Beatrice nodded and said, "I did but it's cold right now so let me heat it up for you", after saying that she walked straight to the house.
Luke and John followed and entered the house, after entering they headed straight for the dinning table and took their seats waiting to be served.
They didn't have to wait for long, as a few minutes later the table was filled with a variety of food.
John sniffed in the aroma around the table while Luke swallowed his saliva, looking at the food before him. On the table were
Roasted turkey with cranberry sauce and roasted sweet potatoes, grilled shrimp skewers with grilled corn on the cob and Beef enchiladas with Spanish rice and refried beans.
A few minutes later, the table had almost been cleared out. Luke and John were very satisfied.
John took his leave after the meal whiles Beatrice cleared the table, though Luke had offered to help her, she had rejected and ask him to take a bath and relax.
After Luke took his bath, he headed straight for his sturdy and started working.
Beatrice did not force him to sleep together with her today.
She went to bed after taking her bath, today was a bit hectic.
In the Sturdy
" Luke, today Beatrice was voted out as CEO of Beauty Foundation, she's no longer the Ceo of Beauty Foundation". Lucy reported.
Luke typing came to a halt as he narrowed his eyes dangerously, " What happened?, was she forced or treated unfairly?"
Luke asked, though he did not love Beatrice, she was still Mrs Arckhman his wife and Luke wouldn't stand them treating her unfairly.
"Relax, she's still the majority shareholder there is nothing to worry about. She still holds all the major power in the company.
This situation happened because of a deal proposed by Mega Corporation which she refused.
Her board of directors decided she was losing her edge since she's made two huge blunders in succession with you being number 1.
"Mega Corporation", Muttered Luke, he had heard about them, but they were not worthy enough to be put before his eyes.
Though she has control over the situation now, it won't last long, those board of directors are trying to erase her from the company administration.
" I would like to see them try", Luke said coldly
Early morning, Beatrice prepared breakfast for Luke and this time ate on the same table as Luke.
Today she wore casual outfits which made her look young and vibrant.
Luke asked " Why won't you go to work today? acting like he didn't know anything anything at all.
"No.... actually I have been voted out as the ceo of the company so am now stuck with you" said Beatrice with a beautiful smile.
"Are you okay, it's there anything I could do to help you?, just say it and would be done" asked Luke gently. He wasn't kidding though.
He was ready to do anything she asked.
No there nothing I need, I will go and visit mom and help her out since am unemployed but don't worry I would be back to prepare dinner.
Luke was silent for a while before nodding.
" If you don't have a ride, you can take my car."
Beatrice just smiled, " No need, My car is already here."
Luke knew about it since he saw a maserati levante, parked outside this morning, he was just trying to be polite.
Beatrice bid him farewell and gave him a kiss on the cheek before quickly running away with her heart pounding.
Luke was caught in a daze as he didn't expect her to do this.
He came out of his daze and shook his head, this woman was becoming a bit too daring.
Firstly she asked him to complete the marriage, sleep on the bed together and now this.
He smiled to himself but quickly came back to normal and continued eating.
Lucy who was in Luke consciousness and had seen everything muttered " There are cracks appearing in that frozen heart of his.
