Chapter 54

Alexandru Lascar, was sentenced twelve years in jail while Jessica was charged of murder and she was given a lifetime imprisonment. Juliette goes to meet her in the jail but hardly talks about her with me. She feels guilty that she should've thought about her parent's condition first before making a will. Meanwhile, I had finally chosen my future and decided on leaving the dark world for the sake of my family and my daughter. She made me stronger and her birth made me the happiest in the world. But somehow my roots to the dark world remained attached and I knew I could never get away from it but instead I made sure not to get myself involved in it anymore. Max got married to his girlfriend and had joined my company to work under me whereas Willi... he is nowhere to be found. He would contact me wanting to know how I was but then hang up and vanish away.
It seems he is leading the life that his wife had always wanted him live and I was happy for him.
The beeping of my phone broke me out of my state and I picked it up when I saw the caller ID displaying 'Wife'
"Ju-"
"Zac!"
"What is it? Is everything alright?" I asked as I sensed her tired voice.
"When are you returning back? You have been working for five days non stop away from home. Are you even going to return?" she asked and I chuckled at her reaction. It was true. Kristian finally gave up on me and went away on his honeymoon leaving me loads of work, that I couldn't even finish even though it was over a year now.
"I will end this up and come back tomorrow. I swear my love," I said as I looked at the files and heard a knock on my door. Cristina walked in holding a tray of food and I looked at the watch to find it was already the lunch break.
"Sir, you need to do your lunch. You've not eaten anything from yesterday," she said and I smiled at her nodding at her as I signalled her to put the tray down on my desk. She did it and gave me a small smile before leaving.
"So, I was saying...how is my daug- Hello?" I looked at my phone to find the connection disconnected. Sighing, I kept the phone down and ate my lunch peacefully before jumping back to work again.
Exactly, four in the evening when the door of my office slammed open and I looked up ready to yell thinking it was Cosmina or probably Cristina but shocked to find Juliette, dressed in a black pencil skirt and a black blazer with a white shirt underneath as she slammed the door shut and walked towards me.
"Juliette? What are you doing here?" I asked as I remained seated in my position too shocked to move.
"Come here!" she leaned down on my desk and in a swift moment pulled my tie "What are you doi-" and planted her lips onto mine. I was too shocked even to register what just happened but then felt her kissing me aggressively and no sooner felt her hands moving towards my shirt and yanking it open. Immediately, due to lack of romance since seven to eight months, I found myself turned on and I kissed back trying to open her blazer and her shirt. She was immediately on my desk right before and I couldn't even quite make it out when I had my pants down and I was making love to her on my desk with her moaning and pulling my hair.
The situation was so heated up that both of our eyes were filled with lust and I kissed her face not getting enough of her.
By the time, we were done she leaned over me and had her head on my shoulder as she took deep breaths and I found myself out of breath, shocked and finally grunted not getting enough of her. She climbed down my desk and I gave her some space as she pulled her skirt down and held her purse that she had thrown on the ground previously. Her shirt was still open and before I could reach to button it up she made her way towards the door.
"Hey! Where....Where are you going?" I asked as she looked at me buttoned up a few buttons before turning around and winked at me "Shopping," she said and opened the door. Quickly, putting up my pants and tucking my shirt in, I ran after her as I watched the brunette with brown long hair walking past Cristina but stopping right before her "Is my hair okay?" she asked and Cristina smiled at her before nodding and soon her eyes traveled down to Juliette's unbuttoned shirt.
"Oh just the buttons," Juliette laughed and hurriedly buttoned up her shirt.
"Honey it's alright! I can go back to the car by myself. Don't worry," Juliette turned around to leave but I stopped her as I held her hand and looked back at Cristina "I am off for today," I told her and she nodded watching both of us as we made towards the elevator.
"Seriously Zachary I can go back, on my own," Juliette huffed once we were inside the elevator.
"Sure, you can" I rolled my eyes as I pressed the 'G' button "Where is Veronica?" I asked and she replied "with your mom and Gale."
Even though nothing seemed to settle down with me and Gale, it seemed he was the perfect grandfather for Veronica as he loved her dearly and spent most of his time with her. I didn't seem to mind as long as he stayed away from me and my work. At first, to be honest I was cautious with Gale being around Veronica but then it seemed he saw Rose, my sister in her and it was why I didn't interfere much to Juliette's relief.
"Where are we going?" she asked as we sat down in our seats and put on our seat belts.
"To end the game that you had just begun," I winked at her making he giggle.
Through odds and evens we sailed through all problems together and held hands as we continued to watch over our daughter Veronica who seemed to grow up quickly but at the same time giving us immense happiness and power to overcome the difficulties. It was us, the Sullivan family.
Finally the end.
