Chapter 28: Chapter 28

"Hmmmm…I don't know how long I will be able to keep my mouth shut. I mean, this is valuable information and I am sure that Lucian will be itching to hear this, if you know what I mean" She started playing with her hair, using her index finger to make coils at the bottom of her hair.

"But…" she paused and pouted her lips, looking as if she was about to take a selfie.

"But what?" I questioned hastily, and she pretended to think for a while, as if she didn't know what she was about to say.

"If you do what I want, then I am sure I will be able to keep my mouth shut" She smiled, releasing her hair from her finger almost immediately.

"I will do anything you want. Just say the word and it's done" I placed both of my hands in hers.

"Uhh….calm down there. As for now, I don't know what I want from you. Like what do you think I can get from you?" She inquired, and I lowered my head not knowing what to say to her.

"Silly me, why should I be asking you that? I will have to go and figure that out on my own. Until I can figure it out, I guess your secret will be safe with me for a while" She forced a smile on her face.

I could only nod my head in response to her, I had become completely tongue-tied and didn't know what I was supposed to tell her.

I watched her cat walk away like a princess, while she had the heart of a monster. If she just saw what she had seen, and decided to keep quiet on her own, without asking for anything, nothing would have happened to her.

At this point, I didn't even know who I was supposed to run to.

If Nana finds out about this, it will be another trouble for me. So I am finished. Or maybe, I should just pack my bags and go to a place far from here.

But, I am utterly broke, and this job was the only way for my survival. I have never felt so confused in my entire life. She also said my secret is safe with her until she thinks about what she can blackmail me with. I just hope whatever she comes up with will be something that I can do.

Karina's POV

This house is really something else. Everyone with their secrets, first it was Nana and now Lucian's mistress is now in love with his wife.What a fucked up love triangle.

Now to think of it, I won't gain anything from telling Lucian about her secret, and I hate to do any transactions without having benefits.

I mean what's the point of it, although Angela does have a sexy body. Something I can barely resist, I wonder how good she is in bed. Because I'm about to be sharing her with Lucian.

"One million dollars. This is a check for one million dollars, take it and get out" Nana walked into my room as if she owned the place. Yeah, she did but I still call the shots.

"Nice to see you this afternoon Nana. I hope you are having a lovely day today?" I smiled at her, ignoring the b*llshit, she just told me.

"Didn't you hear me?" She questioned, folding her fist.

"You need to learn how to calm down Nana. You are not as young as you used to be, and you might end up giving yourself high blood pressure. I don't want you to die early, you know.

Because if you die, then I am sure Lucian is going to kick me out of this house. And by that time, telling him your secret would be useless. So please, take things easy" I tilted my head sideways.

"And of course, I heard you. But, I chose to ignore you. I mean, we both know that it will take more than one million dollars to get rid of me" I told her, while I held her shoulders and urged her to sit on my bed.

"Then name your price" She wanted to get up, but I made her sit down back.

"I don't have a price," I walked out, because I didn't have the strength for that type of conversation.

Lucian's POV

We had just finished campaigning, and as expected the media had already broadcasted to the world that my wife and I would be returning home together. I still find it hard to believe that my convoys in front were abused, and finished with bullets.

The moment my driver noticed unidentified movement around us, he immediately made a U-turn, following a different direction, and mixing up my car with those in the traffic.

I don't know which was my worst experience that day, the fact that despite my heavy security, people still dared to attack me.

Or the fact that I was stuck in traffic, and my phone was switched off. By now the news of my attack must have spread like wildfire.

There is no way Nana is going to be calm, at least not until she hears my voice. She needs to confirm that nothing happened to me. I wonder what Havana must be going through right now as well. F*ck everything is just messed up, as I dug my hands into my hair and combed it with my fingers so roughly.

Havana's POV

"Lucian!!!" I screamed, as I felt this sharp pain in my chest when I heard the news.

"Whether or not the president was in the attacked vehicles, we are unable to say.

But, as it stands now, the president is assumed dead, since all efforts to get to him hasn't yielded any positive results.'' the media announced.

"Calm down" I tried to tell myself, as I rushed to pick up my phone to call Stephanie.

She wasn't picking up, and it was only making me more tense.

Chapter 43

I ran upstairs to carry my bag, and the moment I rushed out of the house, I was blocked by security.

"We are sorry ma'am, but the president has given us the order not to let you leave the house under any circumstances'' one of the men, who looked like a club bouncer informed me.

"I know he did. But, I am sure that you have heard the news, please let me go out" I pleaded with him, as I tried to get past him, but I couldn't.

"I'm sorry first lady, but we have to carry out the president's orders under any circumstances'' he said again, and just at this moment, Nana had walked out of the house.

"Nana, please let me come with you. These people are not letting me leave" I cried out to her.

"Even she cannot leave" The man spoke, and the look on Nana's face was a keeper. I would have laughed out so hard, if not for the circumstances surrounding us.

"And since when did Lucian start giving out such orders?" She questioned him, giving him daggering eyes.

Normally, if she had looked at me like that. Then, I am sure I would have passed out, but her look didn't seem to affect the man, not even in the slightest as he still stood firm, avoiding eye contact with her.

"He just gave us the order for today. He made it clear that if anything were to happen , then we should shut down the entire white house" he said, trying to be as calm as possible.

"Code red" he suddenly tapped the device that was attached to his ear. I mean his airpod.

I never even knew that the white house had sirens as they began to make noises. It was as if an emergency alarm had been switched on, as the security personnel brought out their weapons, and seemed to have doubled in their numbers.

"First lady and Miss Nana. I would please request that you go inside" the man spoke calmly to us.

I didn't know what was going on, but I was panicking. Nana seemed to have gotten used to this kind of thing, as she went inside straight away with two escorts accompanying her.

I followed suit as the four men who were following me initially, suddenly changed positions with others as a new set began to monitor me.

It was just odd. The way they had their eyes glued on me, it was as if they were not allowed to take their eyes off me, not even for a second. I didn't even see them blink once. All this only made me more nervous than I initially was. I swallowed hard and turned to face Nana who was already lost in her own world.
