One Wild Night
Chapter 936: I Don’t Want Any More Trouble
The moment Lucy's alarm went off in the morning, she opened her eyes and frowned as she noticed the empty space beside her on the bed. Sitting up, she called out, "Babe?" Her voice was still thick with sleep, and she yawned as she waited for a response.
When she received none, she got off the bed and slipped on her robe. "Babe?" she called again, this time heading toward the bathroom. She peeked inside but found it empty.
Concerned, she made her way to the door. Just as she reached for the handle, it opened, and Tom walked in, a wide smile on his face.
"Where were you?" she asked, her displeased frown deepening.
Tom grinned, "Someone seems to have woken up with a mood," he teased, chuckling when she glared at him.
"I didn't wake up with a mood. The mood came only because you were not in bed cuddling me or staring at me with love in your eyes as I slept," she said with a scowl, and he laughed.
"Sorry about that. I was in the study. I had to make calls and do some other stuff. Didn't want to disturb your sleep. You slept well, yes?" he asked, and her displeased frown softened into one of concern.
"What calls? Did something happen?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.
Tom nodded. "Yeah. Something really significant happened. I will tell you about it on our way to the office. Let's get ready for work," he said.
They both went about their usual morning routines, the air thick with unspoken words. As they finished dressing, Lucy caught Tom's gaze in the mirror. "We're leaving for the fishing trip tomorrow after work. We need to pack our stuff tonight," she reminded him.
"Yeah. Let's do that after we get back from work," Tom agreed, and they headed out the door. During the drive to the office, Tom recounted the events of the previous night. Lucy listened intently, her expression a mix of surprise and satisfaction. She couldn't help but be happy with the turn of events.
"Just like that? Wow!" Lucy said, and Tom nodded.
"We probably would have been saved from the whole stress had we let my mother contact the family directly. She did say their reputation was very important to them," Tom said, and Lucy looked at him.
"Still, I mean, Henry is family and I'm sure it must have been a hard decision," Lucy said and Tom nodded.
"You're right. It must have been a hard decision to make."
"Well, I'm just glad everything is falling into place. Mia can finally move on from this," Lucy said, a soft smile on her lips as she made a mental note to give Sonia a call when she got to the office.
Tom nodded. "Yes. She can. And she will."
After they'd been silent for some time, Lucy glanced at Tom again, "If this were Bryan, would you do what Henry's brother is doing?" Lucy asked, and Tom's brows pulled together as he considered the question.
"I'm not sure. I don't think I can answer that question honestly. Maybe I wouldn't get him arrested..."
"Even if he beats his wife and leaves scars on her and destroys the lives and livelihood of other people?" she cut in, and Tom sighed.
"That's why I said I'm not sure. I may or may not get him arrested, but I know I will handle it and make sure everyone who has suffered at his hands gets compensated. And I'll make sure no one else suffers at his hand," Tom said, and Lucy raised a brow.
"How will you do that without having him arrested?" she asked curiously.
"I might confine him myself," Tom said with a shrug. "What about you? If it were Lucas, what would you have done?" he asked, sparing her a glance.
"Lucas can't do something like that..."
"Neither can Bryan. Yet I answered. So, tell me what you would have done," Tom said, and she shrugged.
"I will do what Henry's brother did. I will have him arrested," she said, and Tom turned to look at her as he stopped at a red light.
"Really?" he asked, and she nodded.
"Yes. It's going to be very hard and painful, but that's exactly what I will do," she said, and they both fell into silence.
There was an underlying sense of relief that they both shared knowing that they were not only making progress in their personal lives but also helping others find peace and justice.
As they arrived at the office and Tom parked the car in his private parking lot, Lucy paused, looking at Tom. "Do you think we'll ever have to make such difficult decisions ourselves?" Tom shrugged, a thoughtful expression crossing his face. "Life is unpredictable. And it might not come in this manner but I'm sure we'll have to make difficult decisions at some point in our life. But I'm not scared as long as I have you by my side. As long as we face everything together, I believe we can handle anything," he said, raising her hand to his lips.
Lucy smiled, feeling reassured by his words. It gave her a sense of pride and deepened her love for him. "You're right. Together, we can handle anything."
They shared a brief kiss before stepping out of the car and heading for the elevator.
As they walked into Tom's office, they met Harry seated behind the desk with a grin on his face, and Tom chuckled.
"Someone looks really happy," Lucy observed with a grin.
"You too," Harry said before walking out.
Instead of going to his office, he headed for Jade's office to first see if she had arrived at the
office now since he had returned to his apartment two days ago.
The moment he walked into her office, Jade who had just arrived and was taking off her blazer
smiled at him.
"Morning, handsome," she greeted even though they'd spoken already that morning.
"Morning, goddess," he said as he walked over to where she stood and kissed her.
"Didn't you say you have a meeting at 9?" She asked, glancing at her watch, since it was
almost 9.
"Yep. I will leave as soon as I confirm that you're coming home with me after work today as agreed," he said as he tucked her hair behind her ear.
She had not been to his apartment since they returned from their vacation and he was really looking forward to spending the evening with her at his place.
As much as he had loved being with her at her place, he wanted to see her in his own space. He wanted her scent around the house and on sheets and pillows in his room.
Jade giggled. "We agreed to do that. Why would I change my mind?" she asked and he
shrugged.
"I just wanted to be sure. Why don't I see any of your stuff around? No bag to take home?" He
asked and she rolled her eyes.
"That's because I still have some of my stuff at your place. I haven't changed my mind. Now
go for your meeting," she said and Harry scowled.
"Are you sending me out of your office, esquire?" He asked and she nodded.
"Precisely..."
"Well, since you're asking me to leave I won't tell you about the recent development with
Mia," he said grudgingly as he headed for the door.
"Does Lucy know about it?" Jade asked curiously and Harry turned to look at her. Thinking that she was asking because she would want him to tell her about it if Lucy already
knew about it, he nodded.
"Yeah. I think so." "Good then. I'll ask her over lunch or I'll just ask Tom," she said with a wink and then giggled
when Harry glared at her playfully before leaving.
Jade grinned as he shut the door behind him. Because she enjoyed watching him act clingy she
didn't see the need to tell him that she was looking forward to going home with him too because she had missed his place.
Jade picked up her phone when it buzzed, and she grinned when she saw it was Aurora.
"Hey, girl!"
"Hey! I just wanted to remind you for the hundredth time that the fishing trip is tomorrow," Aurora said and Jade giggled.
"I haven't forgotten and I'm sure none of the others have forgotten either," Jade assured her.
"That's exactly what I told Phil, but he insists I remind you every time," Aurora said with a sigh, and Jade could imagine her rolling her eyes.
"Tomorrow, we will all be there. Ask him not to worry," Jade assured her before hanging up.
It was going to be a fun and busy weekend, and she was looking forward to all of it. She loved the direction her life was going.
