DONOVAN MANSION, 4:24pm**
“Nanny!” Sunny called and ran into Noella’s arms.
“How was school?” Ella asked and ki-ssed her cheeks as usual.
“It was good, gosh, I missed you” Sunny sighed dramatically and hug-ged Noella tightly.
Lucas entered the room with Sunny’s backpack hanging over his left shoulder while holding her lunch box.
He winked at Noella making her blus-h.
“Hey” he called and placed his li-ps on hers, ignoring Sunny’s presence.
“Eww, daddy, do you wanna eat Nanny Ella?” Sunny scrunched her face, covering her eyes with her palm.
Lucas and Noella broke the ki-ss and stared at her, then exchanged glances before bursting into laughter.
“Sorry sunshine” Lucas winked.
“Put me down,Nanny. I wanna go to my room before daddy eats me up” Sunny said and Noella rolled her eyes before putting her down.
“Continue” she giggled and ran upstairs, making Lucas and Noella smile.
“Awwn, she’s cute” Noella gushed, staring at the stairs.
“Yh, just like how our baby would be” Lucas said and turned her such that, she was facing him.
He circled his arms around her waist, staring de-ep into her eyes.
“I miss you, sugarplum” he said and poked her cheeks.
“Same here, how was work?” Noella asked and took Sunny’s backpack from him.
Lucas sighed and held her hands, taking her upstairs.
“Work was good, but not with a certain pest around” he said and Ella raised her brow.
“Really? Who is that pest?” She asked as they both entered Sunny’s room.
“Sunshine!” She called and Sunny came out of her library.
“Uh, we’ll talk in my room. Will be waiting for you” Lucas winked and pecked Sunny’s cheeks before leaving.
“Baby, why didn’t you finish your food?” Ella asked as she opened Sunny’s bowl.
“I lost my appetite” Sunny said and took one of her teddies.
“Hmm, are you feeling sick or..”
“No nanny, I’m fine”

LUCAS’ ROOM**
Noella slowly opened the door after several knocking without getting a response.
A sigh left her mouth as she was met with emptiness. She took the chance to explore the place.
A picture sat peacefully on the bedside table. It had a man a woman.
The man was older – the older version of Lucas – while the woman had a jet black hair like Lucas.
Were they his parents?
“They’re my parents” Noella heard Lucas’ voice behind her which startled her a bit.
“Yo..you.. startled me” she muttered, glaring ha-rd at him.
“Sorry” Lucas grinned and grabbed her by her waist.
“Tell me why I can’t get enough of you?” He breathe, his hot minty breathe, fanning her face.
“It’s because, I’m beautiful” Ella grinned and fli-pped her hair backwards.
“You’re so tempting that, I feel like eating you raw” he said, slowly sending his face closer to hers.
“Lucas..” Noella called and placed her hands on his bare chest, sending electric sparks into his veins.
“What are you doing to me, Ella?” Lucas said and crushed his li-ps on hers, ki-ssing the sh*t outta her.
***
CELLULOSE RESTAURANT**
“Bye Pearl” Leslie waved as they both went their separate ways.
Pearl hummed and brou-ght out her cellphone. Almost immediately, a call came in, showing an unknown number.
Who was that?
After much contemplation, she swiped the green icon and placed the phone on her ear.
????Hello” she said into the phone.
???? Hi, baby”
????Uhm, sorry but who is this?” Pearl asked with furrowed brows.
???? Don’t you recognize my voice, baby doll?”
???? Kingston?
???? Yes baby doll. How was work today? Kingston asked.
???? It was good and you? Pearl asked and tugged her hair behind her ear.
???? Good too. Where are you now? Can we go out?
????Uhm, actually, I’m stuck on the road…” Pearl couldn’t finish her statements when he cut in.
???? I can come pick you up”
???? There’s no…
???? Where are you? I’m on my way” Kingston said and took his car keys.
????In front of the restaurant.
???? Okay, on my way” he said and the call disconnected.
“Humph!” Pearl sighed and put her phone back into her bag, waiting for Kingston.

DONOVAN MANSION**
LUCAS’ ROOM**
Lucas was sitting on the bed with Noella on his laps. She had her hands around his neck with his head on her b**bs.
“Please control your temper on her” Noella said, referring to Ana.
Lucas had already explained everything to her, about Ana being her secretary and how he’s going to make her life a living hell.
“It depends on what she does. I can’t stand the sight of her. Literally and technically, even emotionally, I hate her” he seethed, raising his head to stare at Ella.
“You’re exaggerating. If not for anything, consider the love you once shared. She’s the mother of your daughter” Ella said, trying to convince him.
“Never! The very day she left, that was the day Sunny’s mom died. You’re her mom and no one else” Lucas said with a flirty wink.
“I’m being serious here” Ella rolled her eyes and Lucas smiled.
“I’m also serious”
“I have to get going, it’s almost late” Noella said, wanting to stand up but Lucas tightened his grip on her waist.
“What?” She raised a brow.
“Don’t leave yet, let’s spend some more time” he pouted and she pinched him.
“Ouch!”
“Stop being a baby” she said and he rolled his eyes.
“Whatever, can you come and stay in the mansion? I want to be with you and my unborn baby” Lucas said and Ella bit her li-ps.
“Uhm, I’ll think about it” she said but he frowned.
“No, you’re not thinking, you’re coming here and that’s final” he said possesively making Ella giggle.
“Alright, I will. Can you let me go now?” She asked but rather, he claimed her li-ps in a slow ki-ss.

SUNNY CLOTHING LINE, 8:38pm**
“Gawd, I’m not yet done!” Ana gro-aned tiredly.
She yawned hungrily and stretched her stiff body.
“So hungry” she mo-an-ed, rubbing her tummy fondly.
It was already getting late and everyone was dispersing.
“Shit! I have a lot more files to work with” Ana gro-aned, eyeing the mountain of files on her desk.
“That Lucas is so wicked! How could he?” She mumbled angrily.
She faced her computer and continued working, typing furiously.
***
“I’ll just come early tomorrow and continue. I can’t kill myself” Ana hissed and wrapped up with what she was doing.
She was beginning to regret ever coming into the company.
“Good to go” she said and checked her time.
“Sh*t! 10:55. Five minutes more to 11:00” she muttered and went into the elevator.
Everyone was gone so she was left alone.
“How would I get a cab to go home?! Damn you, Lucas!” She hissed and took her cellphone, calling Xander to come pick her.
*SOME MINUTES LATER*
“Why are you now closing?” Xander asked as he settled in the car with Ana.
“That bossy Lucas! He gave me too much work to do!” She complained.
“I thought you were a model, why then did you agree to be his secretary?” Xander rose a brow at her, concentrating on the road.
“You know, when he asked if I could be his secretary, I didn’t decline. Rather, I found it as the best opportunity to get closer to him and get what I want” Ana said and Xander smiled.
“But, you know Lucas, he isn’t a fool to let someone who ruined him years back, come back into his life just like that. He might be having something up his sleeves” he said.
Ana nodded her head and rested on the headrest.
“That’s why I should be extra careful” she mumbled and Xander hummed.
***
NEXT MORNING**
SUNNY’S CLOTHING LINE**
“Follow me” Lucas simply said as he came out of his office, with his hands in his pocket.
He had a meeting with the board members so he was heading to the conference room.
Ana rolled her eyes and took her notepad, following Lucas with a frown on her face.
CONFERENCE ROOM**
“You’re to jot down every necessary point. I don’t have to teach you your work” Lucas said before they entered the room.
Everyone present stood up to greet him in respect. He was probably the last person to arrive.
“Welcome Mr. Donovan” they greeted and Lucas nodded, heading to his seat.
He sat down and crossed his legs, waiting for the first person to speak up.
All the members looked at each other, silently asking who would speak.
Mr Blake, as usual, cleared his throat and adjusted himself on his chair.
“Sir, we have a new investor who’s interested in buying some of the shares” he said.
“Investor? Who’s that?” Lucas asked and the door opened, revealing Alexander.
Ana’s eyes wide-ned from where she sat. Xander? What was he doing here?
“Hello Mr. Donovan, I’m Alexander Connor and I want to buy 5% of the shares in this company” he said, with a smirk on his li-ps.
Lucas smirked and rolled his eyes. He spinner himself and faced them with his back then stood up from the chair, slowly walking towards him.
He stood opposite Xander,, staring at him in the eyes, the smirk still playing on his li-ps.
“I’m sorry Mr. Connor, I don’t have intentions of selling the 5% shares. Can you kindly return your money into your pocket?” Lucas said smugly.
Xander felt anger surge throu-ghhis brain. Why had he declined him?
Ana stood shockingly, staring at Xander. What was his plans again?
Anyway, she was glad he was here. But he didn’t tell her he was coming.
“But Mr. Donovan, I’ll pay twice the amount, just sell it to me” Xander said, trying to convince Lucas but Lucas looked less convinced.
He had no intention of selling that 5% of shares. Even if he receives a bag of money, he still won’t sell it.
“I already said I’m not selling that! Go buy from other companies not mine!”
“But Mr. Donovan, that’s a good…”
“Then you can sell yours to him…” Lucas cut off a member.
“We’re done with the meeting! You may disperse” Lucas said and walked out.
The board members exchanged glanced and gradually, they dispersed one by one, leaving Xander and Ana.
“You never told me you were gonna buy…”
“That’s because it’s my money and I decide what to do with it!” Xander yelled, cutting off Ana’s statement.
“Whatever, do what you like” with that said, she walked out.
Xander stared at the closed door and cussed before walking out as well.

LUCAS’ OFFICE**
“Why are you now coming?!” Lucas asked immediately Ana entered.
“I..I..was..I’m sorry” she stuttered, looking down on her feet.
“Where are the files I asked you to work on?” He asked, going throu-ghsome papers.
“The.. they’re on my desk”
“Bring them”
“Okay” she nodded and went to get them.
Luckily, she was done. She had come early this morning and continued from where she stopped.
“Sir” Ana called in the most calmest voice she has.
Lucas scoffed and took one of the files, going throu-gh.
Ana felt happy that he hadn’t complained yet. But her walls broke when she heard his next words.
“What is this rubbish?!!!” Lucas thundered, glaring at her.
“I.. it’s the files you asked me to work on..”
“Bullshit! This is trash! So many mistakes! Take them away and re-edit them!” He yelled and pushed them to the floor, scattering everywhere.
“Lucas!” Ana gasped, staring at the papers.
“What. Did. You. Just. Call. Me?!” He growled, slowly going towards her with his eyes filled with rage.
“I’m sorry..sir..” he words were stuck in her throat when he gripped her neck.
“Sir..sir…”
Immediately, someone opened the door and…
“Lucas!”
