Love Started from a Forced Marriage
Episode 14
It was nearly Twilight hour
Mave returned from a meeting, his expression stern as usual, however, his gaze softens when he sees Lucien arranging files in his personal cabin he pauses in the doorway, taking in the peaceful scene, the work he was told to do he had done it already, and now he's doing extra work
He raises an eyebrow, he was impressed by Lucien's work, walking further into the cabin, he glances around, noticing the neatly organized files, his eyes linger on Lucien a moment longer than necessary before turning to admire the breathtaking sunset.
Maverick Paxton (E)
Take a break.... I'll send someone to take you home ❄️
Lucien Oliver (DO)
No need.... I'll go back with you....
Maverick Paxton (E)
You will do as you're told and leave with Slade ❄️
Slade Norton (A)
*just entered there to give document to Maverick*
Lucien Oliver (DO)
I won't.... My soon-to-be-husband
Slade Norton (A)
*raises his eyebrow*
Maverick's eyes widen, he quickly regains his cool facade, but there's a flicker of possessiveness in his gaze as he steps closer to Lucien
Maverick Paxton (E)
Follow my orders..... I don't know how time I'll have to stay here ❄️
Maverick Paxton (E)
Better go home now, i don't want my in-laws to worry about their son ❄️
Lucien Oliver (DO)
*grabs his phone and calls Luke*
Luke Oliver (O)

Lucien Oliver (DO)

Lucien Oliver (DO)

Slade Norton (A)

Luke Oliver (O)
📱no.... problem....
Lucien Oliver (DO)
📱 thanks.... *cuts the call*
Maverick Paxton (E)
Either you leave now, or I'll.... ❄️
Lucien Oliver (DO)
Or what....
Slade Norton (A)
(this is getting intense 😐)
Maverick eyes flash dangerously, his mind reeling with ways to deal with Lucien's stubbornness, he straightens his tie, taking a deep breath before speaking
Maverick Paxton (E)
Or I lock you in the office until you agree to cooperate...... ❄️
Lucien Oliver (DO)
I don't want to go back with someone else..... You are the one who brought me here.....
Lucien Oliver (DO)
So you are going to be the one who's going to send me back....
Maverick Paxton (E)
*face darkens, his patience wearing thin* who are now getting in my..... ❄️
Lucien Oliver (DO)
Shut up ❄️💢
Slade Norton (A)
*looks at Maverick*
Maverick Paxton (E)
*clenches his fist*
Maverick gave up on arguing with him, Lucien stubbornness finally getting the better of him. he sighs heavily, running a hand through his hair in frustration, Slade was looking at both of them, the tone which Lucien used to tame Maverick was something one will dare to use in front of Maverick
Maverick Paxton (E)
Go back.... ❄️ *says to Slade*
Slade Norton (A)
*nods and leaves*
Time passed, and it was nearly 11pm, Lucien ordered something for himself to eat, Maverick didn't gave a damn to it, his focused remained in his work completely ignoring Lucien's presence
Lucien went out to do something, Maverick was all alone in the office, he's used to the loneliness around him
The office was quiet, the only sound being the gentle ticking of the clock on the wall, Maverick was sitting at the desk, he was feeling uneasy, his heart started racing as he stare at the shadows, his phobia of ghosts keeping him on edge
Maverick Paxton (E)
*gets irritated by it*
He approached the shadows, he started to hear noises, the sound which was ringing in his head was similar to something, but he was trying to avoid it
The noise grows louder, sounding almost like whispers, he tried to avoid it, but his body tenses up, betraying his growing fear, as he took another step forward, and suddenly, the whispers stop.
On other hand Lucien was walking in the empty hallways, clearly fearless, before going back he decided to make coffee for Maverick, he's been working nonstop from evening, without eating anything
