Chapter 82: DUCIANA’S MOVE
The Tizheruk had already left the next day by the time we woke up to prepare for the office. I dropped Conri off at the office and then headed to the Due Corporation. It was close to noon when I got a phone call from the City council about the documents I had filled out during our wedding on the properties we would co-share with Conri.
I left the office after briefing Zeeb and Anisha and rushed to the City council offices. On arrival, I found that the officer in charge had stepped out and I opted to wait for him while I caught up with emails from my phone. The scent of a strong perfume hit my nostrils and then I heard Ducian Due’s voice reach before I lifted my head.
"CEO Lucian," she smiled creepily.
I raised one eyebrow in response and went back to read my emails.
"I am afraid Mr. Peterson has left for the day. I would urge you to come back another day," she stated.
I tilted my head and stared at her for the second time. It was when I noticed the city hall badge that she was wearing. Who in the right mind hired this sick woman? I stood up to leave, and she grabbed my arm and insisted, "But I can assist you if you want"
I pulled my hand away from her and growled, "Don’t ever touch me, you wacko"
And with that, I walked towards the lift and got in. Before the lift closed, Duciana slid in and then leaned back on the left side while she smiled like a fool. I felt Freki rise and growl at her and in seconds my vision blurred. I called out for Dolf before my feet gave way and I blacked out.
By the time I came to it, I was tied to the bed, my body heavily drugged. I tried to reach Freki, but whatever drug they had used also made Freki sleep. I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized I was clothed, only my legs did not have shoes on. Well, it was better than finding myself naked, tied to the bed.
"You are finally awake," I heard a voice from the corner of the room.
I turned towards the voice and there sat Duciana Due, looking high and I could smell the drugs on her.
