Chapter Fifty Four.

Zawadi groaned and snuggled her face into Lucas's chest to escape the bright sunlight that had found its way into the room.

"It's time to get up cupcake " Lukas said with a light chuckle.

"I don't wanna " Zawadi whined childishly.

"You have to get up. We have an appointment with the lawyer regarding the case remember? We need to be on time. " Lucas said caressing her hair.

"This is going to be so hard" she whispered .

" I know baby. I'll be with you every step of the way. We are in this fight together." Lucas said.

"Thank you. For being there for me. You have helped me so much. I always thought that once I reunite with my parents, all will be well. It's all I ever wished for. But now, I wish I never looked for them.

I am a grown woman but still, I keep waiting for the day my parents will turn to me and say "Zawadi, we love you " . I can't help it"

"That's okay baby. I understand. We will get through this . For now, it's time for a shower " Lucas said wiggling his eyebrows.

"The doctor asked me not to do any strenuous activities" Zawadi told him with a chuckle.

"That's okay baby. You don't have to do anything, I will do all the work. You just have to sit there and enjoy " he said pulling her shirt over her head.

"Perfect " he said, his eyes fixed on her chest.

And she let him do all the work' .

A few hours later, Zawadi and Lucas were seated in the lawyers office, they were currently going over the case.

"In this case it should be easy. I mean we have the evidence. All that's left is for Mrs Mwamba to plead guilty. Which she should since there is no way she can win this case. " Their Lawyer, Job Kazi said.

"Thank you so much Mr Kazi. All we want is for her to pay for her deeds. We want her punished. " Lucas said.

"No need to thank me Mr Steele. I am simply doing my job. You'll be required in court on the fifth of January for the hearing. I'll eMail you all the details " Job said.

"Thank you Mr Job, have a nice a day"Zawadi said.

They had just left the office and where walking along the corridor when Zawadi bumped into someone. She stumbled backwards before Lucas steadied her.

"I am so sorry" she quickly said as she raised her eyes to meet the person.

"Father " she whispered.

"Watch where you are going. " Charlie said harshly.

"I am sorry I wasn't... "she started an apology.

"I don't care, you are in my way. What kind of a daughter are you? How could you sue Your Own mother? " he asked coldly.

"Are you even listening to yourself? Her own mother, killed our child. Whether you think she is a terrible daughter or not doesn't matter, at least she is not a terrible mother like some others I could name. "Lucas stated angrily.

"Stay out of this is a family matter" Charlie warned.

"Family " Lucas scoffed" And what do you know about family? You abandoned Your Own daughter and now all you are doing is hurting her. Yet you have the guts to talk about family in my face. I am the only family she had. And I don't care what you think of her. I love her and she honestly doesn't need people like you" Lucas snapped.

"Let's go, he is not worth it" Zawadi, who was standing quietly beside Lucas suddenly spoke.

"You are right " Lucas said, Then turning to Charlie, he spat coldly " See you in court " then he let Zawadi drag him outside.

"I know I shouldn't have because he is your father... " Lucas started explaining .

"Thank you for standing up for me" Zawadi said much to his surprise.

"You don't have to thank me. I would do anything for you " he said.

"Let's go home" he said as he picked her up.

He carried her bridal style towards the car.

"You know I can walk right? " she asked with a grin.

"I know, I am only being nice to you so you can repay me later " he retorted with a smirk.

Then he leaned to her ear and whispered " With your body"

"Mr Steele" she gasped dramatically, how could you say such a thing to a lady"

"I don't know what is running through your dirty mind. I was talking about a massage "

"Well I am not sure. I have a boyfriend and he is so possessive. He would never let me go near another man"

"That's easy, we just have to wait till he is not around. He goes to work right? "

"He does. But I don't care. I will give you a massage latter. He won't know ." she said as she winked at him.

" I like the idea. " he said placing her down on her seat.

"I have hands you know " she complained when he strapped her in.

"Be a good girl and you'll get a reward " he winked before starting the car.

Later, that day, both Lucas and Zawadi were in the bathtub going over the case.

"So the lawyer said that with the evidence, it should all be easier and... "she gasped when his leg brushed over hers.

"And what? " he asked with a mischievous smile as he started washing her.

"And... " she closed her eyes and moaned when he passed the sponge over her chest, his hands lingering longer than necessary.

"And... " he said again and stopped the movement of his hands. She opened her eyes and cleared her throat.

"The case shouldn't take long. It is in her best interest to plead guilty and accept...aahh" she moaned when suddenly his middle finger entered her.

" I can't talk when you are doing things to me" she admitted.

"Shall I stop?" he asked with a smirk.

"No, don't stop. " she found his hands under the water and placed them on her body where it ached the most.
