The Takeover

Chapter 38

"Thanks for letting know where Lucas is. I appreciate you're help and i can take it from here." Nikki said.

Peyton stared at the woman.

"I drive you over here. And you don't even tell me why you needed to reach out to Lucas so badly. Why is that?" Peyton asked.

"I don't make it a point to include the world and people i don't know in my personal life." Nikki replied.

As she got out of the car and started to walk towards The Scott home.

Lucas stepped out of their bedroom so he could talk freely.

After such an event filled day Brooke had fallen asleep.

He clutched his cellphone tightly. As he explained to his editor

He had to stop promoting his third novel fully.

His editor didn't take the announcement well.

But Lucas explained he was needed at home.

His wife had a high risk pregnancy and he was going to be there for her through that and post birth.

His editor listened and made a decision of his own.

Lucas heard knocking at the front door and made his way down the stairs and towards the entryway.

He unlocked and slowly opened the front door.

An expression on recognization flashed on his face.

"Nikki. How did you. What are you." Lucas said. Not sure how to respond to her.

"Lucas Scott. What a fun memory you are. But i'm not here for a trip down memory lane."

"We have someone in common who is wanting a relationship with you." Nikki started to explain.

Lucas was still very confused.
