I paused for a moment before I finally began to ease out of bed, unable to stay here and look him in the eyes when he woke.
I quickly donned my clothes, took another look at his handsome profile, and sighed. As much as I enjoyed this moment, I knew it was a mistake and hoped I wouldn’t regret it much later.
Slowly, I took my heels and began to ease away from the room through his main door, with a mental note to avoid him using every means necessary until I was done with his mother’s portrait and found my way out of his life forever.
CHAPTER EIGHT
MASONBLACKWOOD
My eyes fluttered open briefly, and first, the smell of sex hits me, followed by a feminine scent that belonged to Lucy. Slowly, the events of last night began to return, leaving a smile on my face.
“Good morning, Sunshine,” I whispered seductively and turned to my side but found the bed empty.
The smile changed to a frown, and I sat up and rubbed my eyes. “Fuck.”
I took my hands down and looked around the room. She was gone, taken her clothes, and disappeared while I slept. Freaking ridiculous.
It made me feel like a whore, like I had been used and dumped at the last minute, which didn’t make sense because she certainly enjoyed the sex with her moans and cries of pleasure, and she was a virgin too, a fucking virgin.
Furious and rattled, I moved away and sat at the edge of the bed. No woman had ever made me feel this way. But it was no saying Lucy was different.
I turned in search of my clothes and found them splattered all over the floor at different angles.
I pulled away from the bed naked and wiped my face with my hand. I could feel my dick getting aroused, seeking release, which frustrated me more.
I went to the areas the clothes littered, picked them up and took them to a seat nearby, and dumped them there until the staff moved in to take them to the dry cleaners, even though I was sure the clothing wouldn’t touch my skin again.
I sighed, rubbed my hands, and headed into the bathroom. I walked inside the tub, sat, and opened the tap, filling it with hot water.
I closed it just as the water reached my shoulders, and I lay there, my head resting on the marbled head while I closed my eyes and allowed the water to work its magic on me.

Stepping out of the bathroom now, I reached into my wardrobe, took out my red shorts and a shirt, and began slowly getting dressed, biding my time, my mind still fixed on why Lucy had left my bed last night.
As I thought, I heard a knock on my door frowning, I turned, finished getting dressed, and began to head towards the door, Hopefully, it would be Lucy.
Smiling, I reached the door, opened it, and instead of Lucy, I found Chris, the head of Security, in my home.
“Morning, sir,” he said, “sorry to bother you.”
“Morning, Chris,” I muttered, frowning. “Is there a problem?”
“No, sir.” He replied and took out a brown envelope. “James brought this in early this morning. He said you requested them.”
“Yes.” I nodded, remembering, as I reached out and took them. “Thank you, Chris. Anything else?”
He shook his head. “No, sir.”
“All right then, good day,” I muttered as I closed the door in his face before I turned and began to open the envelope, a little grateful to James for bringing this over.
Hopefully, it will help give me the needed distraction, and if Lucy thinks she’s the only one who could play this game, then she’s dreaming.
I walked straight towards my chair, sat, and began to open the large envelope. Inside were two files and a flash drive. I kept them on the table and opened my MacBook.
I rested my back on the couch, took one of the files, and began to look at it. Inside were different images of the Edwards couple.
The couple always smiled. In some pictures, they were holding each other’s hands or chattering excitedly while the picture was taken from a distance.
