THEME: ROMANCE
By: Greenie J.
****************************************
One hour later, they were already on the bed, still kissing. Her hands were rubbing his back as she m0aned cutely, feeling his erection pressing hard against her thigh, but she didn't let it bother her. After a while, he broke the kiss, and she gasped for breath, her chest heaving as she slowly opened her eyes to see his eyes fixed on her, her cheek flushed, causing her to bite her lip.
"Are you okay now?" she asked.
He didn't reply but only stood up from her, and sat on the bed edge. His side facing her. She also sat up, her eyes fixed on him.
"Master" she called out.
"The kiss, I mean, why..."
"Forget about it" he said, his voice husky.
"But—" she muttered.
"You can leave" he ordered, before running his hand over his face and letting out a deep sigh.
Tiara didn't want to anger him, so she obeyed and left the room. His phone rang inside his pocket, a waterproof phone, unaffected by the water. He pulled it out and saw Robert's name on the screen.
"You have a meeting, sir, and I'm currently outside your mansion" Robert said.
Lucas hung up and stood to change.
MEANWHILE, as Tiara walked out of the room, she staggered and used the wall for support, resting her back against it.
"I should forget about it" she mumbled to herself.
"Why must he always be so mean?"
Her subconscious spoke up, 'You're working, remember? Focus on what you came here for, gathering money to build your dream bakery. He's the richest man in the country, how likely are you to end up with him?'
"It's not my fault. I just fell for him unknowingly. I can't help it, it's not my fault. Sometimes I forget I came here to work.. I just love him so much, but he doesn't love me back, it's one-sided love, right?" Tiara muttered.
Her subconscious chimed in again, 'Wise up, Tiara! Stop acting so dumb in front of him, he doesn't have feelings for you'
Tiara took a deep breath, stood up straight.
"Yeah, I should focus on my work here. That's why I came" she said, walking back to her room.
2 hrs later,
L.ROSS COMPANY - LUCAS' OFFICE
Lucas was done with the meeting and sat in his office, his hand on his jaw, wearing only his shirt. He rested his back against the chair, his leg crossed, and eyes closed.
Robert knocked on the office door before entering.
"Boss, your brother is here"
Lucas didn't respond, still with his eyes closed.
"Should I let him in or say you're busy?" Robert asked.
"Let him in" Lucas said, his voice calm.
Robert bowed respectfully and left. Lucas sat up straight, then stood and walked to the transparent window.
Soon, he heard the door open and footsteps.
"Why are you here?" Lucas asked, not looking at the person.
Kieran walked slowly towards him, stopping four steps away.
"How is she?"
"Who?" Lucas asked, his hand sliding into his pocket as he gazed out the window watching the city.
"Stop asking stupid questions, since you already know who I'm talking about" Kieran said, his voice rising in anger.
"You don't need to know how she is. She's my maid, meaning I own her as long as she works under me" Lucas said, still not looking back.
"Seriously?" Kieran chuckled softly.
"She's not yours, Lucas. She can never be. I hate that she's working under you. I should have met her first. I should have f**king met her first. It always annoys me that you always get what I want before I can get it"
"I'm going to make sure I convince her to quit working under you. You can't even let the poor girl go out without asking for your permission. You're not her parent, you don't have that right, Lucas. And wait, you're getting engaged soon, so why bother with her? You're not falling for her, are you? You can't even dare to do that, because as long as I've fallen in love with her, I've already decided to make sure I get her to be mine"
Lucas smirked mischievously.
"So?"
"Let her go" Kieran answered, glaring at him.
"She's not my type to begin with. Falling for her is the slightest thing in my dictionary. I don't know why you're flaring up. Is it because you feel she likes me or what?" Lucas said, walking towards Kieran, stopping in front of him.
"How about we place a bet on her?" Kieran suggested.
Lucas looked at him.
"What's the bet?"
"From now on, you should start acting nice to her, so the bet can work. And I will also start getting close to her too, meaning you would be giving her permission to go out whenever she likes"
Kieran tilted his head. "What do you think?"
Lucas raised an eyebrow.
"What makes you think I would accept that?"
Kieran smiled.
"You will, the only way you would refuse is if you have feelings for her. But if you don't, you will agree"
Lucas glanced at him, letting out a cold calculating smile. "Alright then, game on"
Kieran let out a knowing smile.
"And oh, I heard today's your mother's death anniversary. Too bad I didn't stop by her grave to drop flowers as her stepson. Will she be in hell or heaven? Or probably vanished"
Kieran's words were meant to provoke Lucas, and they did.
Lucas landed a swift punch on Kieran, sending him staggering. Kieran laughed and was about to punch Lucas back when Lucas punched him again, sending him to the floor.
"Talking about my mother with that stupid mouth of yours is sinful. I might kill you. Don't trespass against me, or I'll make sure to pull out your tongue, you motherf*+*ker!" Lucas spat, his firm and icy.
Kieran stood up, dusting himself off, looking up at Lucas, who held a deadly look. He smirked before walking out.
"That f*+*king bastard" Lucas cussed before going to his office inner room.

TIARA’S ROOM
She was currently in thought, Rita had just called to ask if they should go enjoy ice-cream together, but Tiara had already told her she needed to get permission from her boss. Now, she didn't have his number, and she really wanted to leave the mansion, she needed fresh air.
She took her phone and started finding Robert's number. As soon as she found it, she called him, and he picked up on the third ring.
📲 TIARA: Hi, do you know who's speaking?
📲 ROBERT: Hello, Tiara, right?
📲 TIARA: Yes, it's me. I want to ask you a favor.
📲 ROBERT: What could that be, if I may ask?
📲 TIARA: Can I have my Master's number? I really need it.
📲 ROBERT: Oh, that's nothing. I'll send it via SMS. I'm sort of busy right now, but I'll send it right away. Bye.
He hung up before Tiara could respond.
"Yeah, bye" Tiara said, throwing her fist in the air.
"Must he always cut the call on me? Tskk, so rude, just like his boss"
She frowned cutely, waiting for him to send the number.
Almost immediately, a message popped up on the screen, and she clicked on it to see the number.
Five minutes later, she was already dialing the number.
MEANWHILE, INNER ROOM
The inner room is full of luxury. A king-sized bed, a set of sofas, a chair and table, a mirror that looked flirtatious, and a blue glass wall (which can be switched to black or green) create an opulent atmosphere. A kitchen and television are also present. Everywhere looks rich. He isn't the top 1 richest man for nothing, all the items in the room are worth millions, even billions of dollars. He is incredibly wealthy.
Lucas was on his swivel chair, working on his laptop when his phone rang. He turned to see an unknown number. He didn't pick up.. instead, he kept working, ignoring the ringing. After 20 minutes, he finally picked up.
📲 TIARA: Hi, I've been calling you since you haven't been picking up. Are you busy? Umm, sorry for not introducing myself properly, I'm Ti-
📲 LUCAS: Go straight to the point.
📲 TIARA: Do you perhaps know who is talking?
📲 LUCAS: I give you 3 minutes to say what you have to say and stop acting stupid, you are wasting my time.
📲 TIARA: I'm sorry, I-I just want to know who is talking. I'm sorry.
He could hear her sniffling from the other end.
"The hell is wrong with her" he mumbled.
📲 LUCAS: Talk.
📲 TIARA: I want to meet my friend for something important, so I'm asking for your permission. Can you please let me go? I really want to go.
He was about to tell her not to go when he remembered the bet and sighed.
📲 LUCAS: You can go.
He said that before cutting the call. He tossed the phone aside and was about to start working again when he remembered the hot make-out session they had this morning. He rubbed his lips slowly, recalling the intensity of the moment. If he hadn't stopped the kiss, he would have lost all control and consumed her completely.
He took his phone again and clicked on something, revealing all the messages on Tiara's phone. Yeah, he had hacked into her phone. The threatening message she received last night caught his attention, and he scoffed, knowing who was behind it. He saw all the messages between her and Kieran, and his mood changed.
"So, scaredy-cat can talk and feel happy like this" he muttered, staring at the messages intently.
"Kieran" he smirked.
He was about to work again when he remembered something and stood up, walking out of the room.

ICE CREAM SHOP
Tiara and Rita were currently enjoying ice cream and licking it.
"It's so delicious" Tiara said, licking it slowly. Rita smiled as the wind blew their hair.
"Yeah, I freaking missed this. Your boss should always make you go out every time, huh? He is so mean, but he will always be my celebrity crush" Rita said with a pout.
Tiara frowned, hearing "celebrity crush" Rita, who noticed her expression, burst into laughter.
"Are you seriously angry because I said 'celebrity crush'? Aww, come on, lover girl!" Rita mocked, and Tiara slapped her shoulder playfully.
"I'm not angry, I'm just normal" Tiara said shyly with a smile.
"Really?" Rita asked, with a playful grin.
"Yeah" Tiara replied, closing her eyes as the wind blew her hair.
"Whooo, I love this weather so much!" she screamed.
"Whooo, me too!" Rita screamed, and they both laughed before continuing to lick their ice cream.
"So, you wanna focus on your job now?" Rita asked, since Tiara had explained everything to her.
"Yeah, I want to. He doesn't love me, and I've concluded that, so I want to move on. You know what, Rita?" Tiara asked, turning to Rita.
"What?" Rita asked.
"I looked like a fool anytime I cried because he didn't show me affection. I really looked so much like a fool. I don't want to look desperate. He called me a slut many times, it really hurts. I don't belong to his world, I really don't" Tiara said, trying hard not to cry. Rita patted her hair with a smile.
"It's okay, I understand you, but I hate him for calling you a slut. Don't shed any tears because of him, huh? He doesn't deserve it" Rita assured, and Tiara smiled.
"So, what about his stepbrother?" Rita asked.
"Huh, Kieran... I missed him. He called me yesterday, and I couldn't pick it up. He must be so angry at me" Tiara said, her face turning sad, and Rita looked at her suspiciously.
"Wait, do you love both brothers or what?" Rita asked, and Tiara chuckled.
"You know nothing, it's not possible" Tiara said with a grin.
"How do you feel when you are with him?" Rita asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Happy. I've never been sad in front of him before. He always makes me smile at all costs. He is so nice and caring" Tiara said, blushing.
"Has your heart ever skipped a beat when you are with him or whenever you see his messages?" Rita asked, curious.
"Huh, don't think so. I just like him as a friend" Tiara said, shrugging, and Rita nodded in relief.
"I don't want you to be caught between two brothers who are rivals. I don't want you to get hurt" Rita said, frowning with concern, and Tiara sighed.
"Let's talk about something else, Rita. Let's have fun" Tiara screamed, laughing, and Rita laughed along.
Rita was about to talk when a voice interrupted.
"Tiara"
They turned to the side where the voice came from and saw a lady wearing a black mask, grey hoodie, and joggers, accompanied by white sneakers. She was holding an ice cream too. She walked towards them.
"Who are you?" Rita and Tiara asked in unison, surprised, and the lady took a deep breath before coming closer to them. She looked sideways before facing them again.
"I'm Lucina" she said, covering her head with the hoodie and removing her mask, causing Tiara and Rita's eyes to widen in shock. She immediately put her mask back on.
"Let's talk somewhere else" she said, and they looked at each other before nodding. She escorted them to where she had parked her car, and they all entered, closing the door behind them.

UNKNOWN LOCATION
The room was pitch black, with no light, and had a strong smell of wood. A lifeless man was tied to a chair, covered in blood. He was the same man who had almost raped Tiara. He was breathing heavily, looking like he was about to give up.
The door creaked open, Wren and Aliyah walked in, followed by a handsome and sexy guy. Then, a man dressed in a suit entered, his hand in his pocket, his face expressionless. As they entered, the lights in the room flickered on, illuminating the space.
Lucas, the man in the suit, stood before the lifeless man, staring at him with a dangerous gaze. The man looked up and shivered at the sight of Lucas.
"You look so pathetic" Lucas's deep voice boomed across the room, and the man gulped down nothing.
"I need water" the man said weakly.
"Nah, you don't need it" Lucas said.
"Wren" he called, and Wren stepped forward.
"Yes, boss" Wren replied.
"Hand me the pruning shears" Lucas demanded, and Wren signaled Aliyah. Aliyah immediately went to the table in the room, saw the pruning shears, took it and walked to Wren, handing it to her. Wren then gave it to Lucas.
Lucas bent slowly, he held the man's hand firmly, his eyes cold and unyielding. He positioned the pruning shears around the finger, the blades glinting in the light.
“Don't worry, it won't hurt that much" Lucas said, his voice low and menacing.
With a swift and brutal motion, Lucas squeezed the handles of the pruning shears. The blades cut through the bone and cartilage with a sickening crunch, severing the finger completely. The man screamed in agony as his finger fell to the ground, blood spattering everywhere.
Lucas did the same to the remaining fingers, and the man went dumb, unable to speak. He was already traumatized.
"In your next life, you wouldn't assault ladies again, bastard" Lucas cussed.
"I'll be here again in three days" he added, throwing the pruning shears to the floor. The man's blood had already stained Lucas' hand and face. He walked out of the room.
"Boss is so cool" Aliyah said, grinning ear to ear.
"Normal" the guy with them said before walking out, and Wren's eyes followed him until he was out of sight.
"When will you tell him you like him, Second Boss" Aliyah said, winking at Wren, who glared at her immediately.
"Wanna die?"
"Not at all, Second Boss" Aliyah said, bowing her head dramatically, causing Wren to roll her eyes before walking out.
Aliyah looked at the man tied to the seat.
"Tsk, what a shameful old man" she muttered before walking out as well.

Hours later,
RESTAURANT~ VIP Section
Tiara, Rita, and Lucina sat around the table, sipping their drinks after finishing their meal.
"So, my brother did that to you... what's really wrong with him.. please forgive him, I'm sorry on his behalf" Lucina said with a tired sigh.
"It's okay, I'm the one at fault. I know I should respect my master, but I've been forcing myself on him, hoping he'll develop feelings for me" Tiara replied, biting her lip.
"Just don't stress yourself because of him. If he's interested in you, he'll make a move. It pains me to see my brother so lonely though
" Lucina advised.
"Lonely? But he has you, your father and friends" Tiara pointed out, and Lucina smiled sadly.
"Today is our mother's death anniversary..." Lucina revealed, and Tiara's eyes widened in surprise.
"Is that why he looked so sad?" Tiara asked.
"Yeah, I guess he kissed you to make himself feel better. I know this sounds silly, but thank you for going into the bathroom with him and allowing him to kiss you. He looked cold and serious outside, but he's just a gentle and cool guy inside" Lucina said. Tiara had told her everything.
Tiara looked at her thoughtfully.
"He needs genuine love, he looks so lonely, and he deserves someone to love him romantically truly. But I think you're melting his cold heart, little by little. If not, he wouldn't have kissed you" she continued
"You think so?" Tiara asked, and Lucina was about to reply when her phone beeped. She checked the message from her secretary, reminding her of a meeting with business partners.
"I think I have to go" Lucina said, standing up. "I've paid for everything here, so you can continue eating"
"We should go together" Rita suggested.
"Oh, where are you living?" Lucina asked.
"Fairfax Avenue" Rita replied.
"Thank goodness, same way to the place am heading to" Lucina said, looking at Tiara.
"But Tiara, how will you get home?"
"I'll get a taxi" Tiara replied, and they nodded.
"Let's go" Lucina said.
*
As they stepped outside, Rita got into Lucina's car, and they both bid Tiara goodbye. Now alone, Tiara stood by the roadside, waiting for a taxi. She was still waiting when a car pulled up in front of her, and she raised an eyebrow. The car window rolled down, revealing Lucas behind the wheel. He had changed into different clothes.
"Get in" he said hoarsely.
Tiara looked at him speechlessly, wondering if this was really her boss or someone else. Another car pulled up, and the window rolled down, revealing Kieran. He winked at Tiara, causing her to blush.
"Hey, pretty, get in" he said, leaving Tiara confused.
She looked at Lucas before turning back to Kieran.
'What's going on?' she thought anxiously.
