Lucy Part I

[LUCY POV]

I am Lucy an orphan since my mother died and I didn't know my father as he was gone before my birth. I and my mother lived decently due to the savings of my mother before my birth. Mother didn't talk much about my father nor did I ask her. I was very intelligent and hardworking, due to seeing my mother work hard to pay for my education I decided to study hard and get a job so let her rest. My happy life was ruined when I came home and found my mother lying unconscious on the floor. I called an ambulance and admitted her to the public hospital in our community. I was devasted to know she was in the last stage of blood cancer. When I asked the doctor he said she visited him several times this year for a checkup and medication. I was sad and angry that my mother didn't talk to me about her illness. I confronted her but she just smiled and hugged me, I cried in her embrace till I fall asleep. I know the reason for her to be secretive about her illness, we didn't have money for her proper medication, and she didn't want me to worry about her. I didn't understand why was she placing her health less importance than my worries. She has this smile of satisfaction as though she has accepted her fate and was happier to die than to live. I remembered her words one night before her death, she said, "Although you may feel lonely when I am gone but do remember I will always be watching you, and please don't blame yourself for my condition as it was fate responsible for it.", I didn't understand her words fully that time.

I cried a lot after her death, I felt lonely, sad and most of all angry about not being able to help my mother. I started studying more and even started working part-time to make my day-to-day ends meet and to distract myself from this loneliness.

I aced the examination for University admission and opted for the best university in the whole empire which was situated in the capital of the empire. This university was mainly attended by upper echelons due to its expensive fees. I was exempted from any fees and even the lodging and food were free. The examination through which I got admission was the toughest exam and the only exam to get admission to any university across the empire and since I aced the examination was given such privilege. I opted for computer science and technology as my subject as I forgot all my problems and loneliness when doing programming or studying computer-related technologies such as Artificial Intelligence.

It was the second semester when I met Ares when I was studying in the library. Although he could be said to be the rich second generation he was very diligent in his studies and was the only student who gave me competition for 1st rank in University in our course. He was also inclined towards computers but was more inclined towards the gaming department. We started to talk to each other about our subject helping each other in our studies. It always brought peace to my mind when talking to him and the same could be said about him. He also told me about his exile. He told me that he was very ashamed of the things he did to Nephthys but was not courageous enough to face her and say sorry, as a simple sorry could not erase the things he had done to her in past.

We became friends and were used to sharing our worries and happiness. It was for the first time in my life after my mother's death that I was feeling happy.

One day when we were talking to each other he suddenly asked me for a date.

His proposal made butterfly dance in my stomach, I accepted his proposal and went on a date with him. It was the most joyous most of my life. We did everything cliche that a boy and girl do on their first date.

He confessed to me after 2 weeks of dating each other and had our first kiss. I was shocked and happy when he said it was his first kiss too.

I lost my virginity after 3 weeks of our intimate relationship. I was so happy that I thought I was living a dream, but that happiness was only short-lived as a villainous character already eyeing with an ominous gaze on our happy life.

The young master of the Lin family, Chen Lin, had his lustful gaze towards me. I was given the title of the most beautiful girl in this university as I inherited the beauty of my mother. I had long purplish-black hair and deep purple eyes with beauty and figure surpassing models and film stars. Chen Lin was known to be most lustful and villainous in the whole capital. His family was in technology-related business and was very powerful in the capital and had many branches across the empire. They are called to 5th richest group in the entire empire with connections to many Dukes and members of the royal family.

Chen Lin asked me to become his Mistress which I sternly rejected as I was already in love with Ares. He continued to pester me, I didn't inform his harassment to Ares as I didn't want him to give extra trouble than he was already in. Chen Lin stopped pestering me after some time and my love life with Ares evolved more. I was so happy that I didn't want my Ares to leave me and will even hurt anyone who tried to separate us. Ares was also handsome so I kept any bitches and whores coming near him by using my martial arts which I practiced and was taught by my mother.

I even asked baby from him which shocked Ares but he obliged my request as he was already deeply in love with me which I felt from his warm and caring eyes.

One day I was feeling nauseous and went to the doctor for a checkup which resulted in me finding the happiest news of my life which was that I was pregnant. I was so happy that I called Ares but his phone was out of reach, I didn't think much and decided to go to his dormitory, as I was going towards his dormitory someone knocked me out and kidnapped me. When I came to sense I saw Chen Lin sitting in front of me while I was chained to the roof and was completely naked.
