Chapter 25: Henry
" We can take it slow if- " Natasha pulled back and looking into his she began to speak.
" Mommy, if you want to do something you don't have to feel so nervous, you can just do what you want and I'll do the same, I am yours after all. " Lucian spoke with a dazzling smile on his face.
Natasha received critical double damage from his smile and the word Mommy, she almost died twice, but not wanting to let the happiness end so soon, she nodded as her lips curled up.
" Can you make my favourite thing? " Lucian asked, the previous him used to love a chocolate cake made by Natasha but he was only able to eat it in his childhood.
" Yes my Luci, just wait here for mommy. I'll go and bring the ingredients needed for the cake in a minute. " She was clearly enjoying this a lot, she always dreamed of her son addressing her as mommy.
Lucian sat on the sofa, he picked up the TV remote and asked: " By the way, when is that man coming back home? "
Understanding whom he was referring to, Natasha replied, while she picked up a bag and her purse: " Now that you mention it, he is going to come back today, if you want I can just throw him in the sewag- "
" No it's fine, let him come I'm sure he will be veeeery happy to see me. " Lucian said, Natasha couldn't understand what he meant but just one word from him was enough to make her forget everything.
" Bye, Mommy. "
Natasha almost screamed in joy every time she heard him call her by that word, her heart leapt miles and bounds, she waved her hand and spoke: " I'll be back in a minute. "
As Natasha walked out Lucian turned on the TV and opened a news channel while mumbling:
" I think it's time for the breaking news, if my words really worked. "
And just as he had expected, within seconds he found a channel that was reporting a breaking news:
" We are on the crime scene where a man named Peter Chuck brutally murdered his wife along with her two other affairs. It is a disturbing scene, according to our sources when Peter returned from the market, he found his wife in bed with two of her lovers in a compromising position.
Losing his senses to anger, he first cut off their limbs and then threw them all off, from the tenth floor, the three lost their lives and Peter has been arrested by the police... "
The news reporter spoke, while standing in front of the building where everything had happened, the news channels here were much more transparent than the ones on original Earth.
" He did pretty good, I think he could be of use. " Lucian mumbled.
[ And how are you planning on bringing him out of the prison, even if the laws for men are a little lenient here but he still murdered two other men so he might have to stay inside the prison for a few years. ]
" That won't be hard, just need to do a little research. " Then he took out his mobile and began to look over a few things after a while he dialed Scarlett's number.
*CLICK*
" I want you to do something for me, Star. " He spoke over the mobile and began to explain.
...
On the other side of the call, Scarlett was still inside her car. She stopped on the side of the road and listened to his order feeling irritated, and when he finished she was only able to say 'Okay' even though she didn't want to.
" Sigh what have I gotten myself into and how am I supposed to tell the boss that he won't be coming back today? " Scarlet spoke feeling a headache, after a while she decided to give a call to Jasmine, since giving her this news in person would be too scary.
*RING* *RIN-*
*CLICK*
" Boss, earlier Lucian told me that he wants to stay at his home for som- " After the call was picked up, Scarlett began to speak fearing that Jasmine might get angry at her.
" I know. " Came the voice from the other side and the call got disconnected, Scarlett sat with the mobile near her ear, not being able to understand what had just happened.
" Don't tell me... boss is following him or maybe she is using someone to keep an eye on him. Hmm that seems more plausible even if the boss loves him she would not just throw away all the work so she keep an eye on him, right? "
Scarlett mumbled to herself, then she began to make calls since she needed to follow Lucian's orders.
