A Trillionaire’s Revenge novel Chapter 18

It's morning already and it was my first day working at the office with Luke, as his assistant. I'd made sure to wear my best lingerie, and some perfume oil— just incase we wanted to spice things up. I am dressed in a white matching two piece suit that went well with my pale skin, alongside my hair styled into a ponytail.

As I walk down the stairs on the right side, Luke takes the left side and we meet downstairs.

"Mr. Carrington?"

"Good morning, Mrs. Carrington." He says, stylishly checking me out. I knew he was checking me out.

"Good morning" I say, a huge smile plastered on my face.

"I must say, you do look amazing." He extends his hand.

I take it, "And so do you." I say as we head for the car.

We enter the car and leave for the office. We arrive in about 15 minutes. We both get down from the car. I look around and I am beyond impressed.

As if he read my mind, "Impressed?" He asks.

"Very much." I reply.

We enter and immediately, an entourage accompanies us. I adjust my skirt as I begin to feel nervous and anxious. Luke holds my hand and I smile. My bag drops and I bend to pick it when I hear a familiar voice.

"Luke Carrington?" I freeze. Luke is quiet and I get up with shaky legs. My heart beat increases.

"Yes." Luke says in a harsh tone and as I look up I gasp as I recognize the person in front of me. I'm about to call out his name, but I fall into nothingness.

The smell of Alcohol wakes me. I cough. I'm alert, my eyes, scanning the room.

"Natalie, my love. Are you okay?" Luke asks, as he cups my face.

I gulp, "Yes, but I saw someone downstairs bef— I'm interrupted again, by the same voice.

"We should probably reschedule our meeting, so you may attend to your wife." The voice says and I turn my head to get a proper look. It was him, it was him. It was Rocky.

My entire body becomes numb and I'm rendered speechless. We share an eye lock. I could feel the sweat dripping from my head.

"Please. I appreciate that and I apologize. I'd love to accompany you out but I must stay with my wife." Luke turns to me, kneeling with one leg. "What if you fainted because you're pregnant?" He says, a small smirk on his face. I open my lips in horror as I stare at him, then I turn to look at Rocky who has a very cold expression on.

I finally gain the courage to speak, "I need to rest." is all I can say.

"I'll leave." He turns to leave but pauses. "Mrs. Carrington?" He calls. I am still as I answer, "Yes?"

"I hope you recover soon." He says and leaves.

Luke caresses my face and hair. "Are you okay?" He asks and I do not know what to say. Do I tell him the truth or do I keep silent? Luke scared me and I feared what he would do if he found out Rocky was around him, around me. He would immediately begin to distrust me and think I had betrayed him yet again.
