Lucky's POVMy lips parted as I stared at Damien after he whispered those words. His eyes are flickering and I definitely know why. We've been together for so long. I know his way of thinking. I know the meaning of his stares. I've memorized them all. Today, there's one thing in his eyes. Jealousy.Rad cleared his throat. "Engineer. Long time no see."Damien's lips rose. He glanced at me again before he shifted his gaze back to Rad. "Yeah… I heard you visited my house last time. You seemed so fond of my daughter, huh?"Rad nodded. His eyes were dark and there's no humor in it. "She's like a daughter to me."I was shocked. Like a daughter? It's just a simple reason but why do I feel like there's something in it?"Do you have a daughter, uncle Rad?" Darya asked, smiling innocently.Rad's head slowly turned to Darya before he gave her a smile. "I don't have a daughter. That's why I treat you like my daughter."I saw Damien's jaw clenched. I cleared my throat to get their attention. Damie
Lucky's POV"C'mon, baby. Let's change your clothes. We're gonna start the photoshoot now."I smiled at Darya after she glanced at me. I can see that she's kinda nervous, so I carried her and went to the dressing room."Mommy will always be beside you, so don't be nervous, baby." The assistant glanced at me and smiled.I roamed my eyes around the dressing room. There are a total of five staffs with us. They're busy with the preparation of the photoshoot."Mrs. Green, here is the first dress. We have three dresses for her today."I smiled and nodded. Three dresses is enough. I don't want Darya to get exhausted.I helped Darya wear the dress. She was smiling from ear to ear after she saw her own reflection in the mirror."Ohh! Our baby looked like an angel!" It was Damien's mom who just entered the dressing room."Grandmas!" Darya greeted my mom and Damien's mom.I greeted them too with a kiss on their cheeks. "Hey, mom.""We want to support our princess."Damien's mom held my hand. "Th
Lucky's POV"Are you going to enroll her next school year, Lucky? She's turning 4 years old next year."I smiled and nodded at Damien's father. "Yes, dad. I think she's ready."He nodded. "That's good. I think modeling also helped her to socialize, huh?""Yes, dad," I answered and glanced at Darya. She's talking to her hair stylist while smiling beautifully.Dad was the one who accompanied us today even when it's not really necessary. Meanwhile, Damien's mom and my mom attended a social gathering.Someone suddenly called dad. He excused himself and left. I smiled at Darya who glanced at me."Mommy, where's grandpa?"I caressed her hair. "He's just talking to someone, sweetie."Darya's stylist called her to continue doing her hair. She looked at me. "Mommy, I'm thirsty.""I'll get you water.""Mommy, I want juice."I smiled. "Alright.""Uh… Mrs. Green, I'll buy her juice."I looked at the staff and shook my head. "It's okay. Just look after Darya for me.""Yes, ma'am. Sure!"I went out
Lucky's POV"What is it, Lucky?"I simply hid my phone in my pocket and shook my head at mom. "The news, mom. I can't believe it.She nodded and heaved a sigh. Damien's mom told the maid to bring Darya in her room. I sat on the couch and massaged my forehead. Dad opened the television. The news is all about Damien's collapsed project. The police are now investigating the situation. Damien's other ongoing projects are on hold. The engineer's organization is now investigating the other projects and I'm afraid it'll really cause Damien's downfall. But… No! That's impossible. He didn't do anything wrong, so nothing will happen to him.Later that night, I was unable to eat properly. Damien has been occupying my mind all day and I can't find peace in my heart. I want to see him. I want to make sure that he's okay.I was waiting for him in the living area when the unknown sender texted me again. I'm still using Damien's phone and I don't know how this person found out that I exchanged phones
Damien's POV"It's confirmed. Mrs. Smith confirmed it's Zandra."I massaged my nose bridge after Duncan said that. I cursed in my head and balled my fists. This is well planned. From Zandra's disappearance to her death."Damien, the blame will be put on you. Zandra was an engineer at your company. People will think you did this to her because she found out that you're corrupting the structures you're building. That's the closest possible conclusion people would make."I nodded and sucked my breath. "I know, Duncan. And I don't know what to do now.""They will strip your license off."I pressed my lips together and looked down. I couldn't speak again.The investigation is still ongoing but because of an ongoing building that collapsed, I don't think I can easily save my name. Three workers died and there are five other injured workers.Duncan opened his phone and from there, I can hear Mrs. Smith being interviewed. She was crying so hard and she's blaming me.Duncan heaved a sigh. "Zan
Lucky's POVThe news about Zandra's brutal death spread like a wildfire. People forgot about the collapsed project of the Green Corp although there's still a theory that the Green Corp used Zandra to cover the failure of Damien's company.I'm worried. The association of the world's engineers are now deciding about Damien's license. Although I did my part, I'm still worried about him.I was sitting on the couch when I received a text from Damien's father. He's with Damien as of the moment and my heart broke after I learned that Damien's professional license was revoked.I chewed my bottom lip, sucked my breath and palmed my forehead.After conditioning myself, I dialed Camilla's number.[Hello, Lucky?]"Damien's license is now revoked. Let's meet, Cami."[Okay. I'll call the lawyer. Text me the address. Take care, Lucky.]After the short conversation with Cami, I went to the kitchen to see mom."Lucky, I received a text from your dad." Damien's mom said with tears in the corner of her
Lucky's POVI woke up early the next day. When I went downstairs, I saw my daughter eating her breakfast. Mom and Damien’s parents are eating with her. The maids are behind them and they're enjoying watching my daughter.“Good morning, mommy!” Darya was the first one to notice me.I smiled and kissed her hair. “Mornin’”I grabbed a bread toast and looked at dad. He was silently watching me. I greeted my parents and they greeted me back. The eyes of Damien’s mom are puffy. I guess she cried all night because of what happened to her son.“How’s your husband, Lucky?” Dad asked“He’s not okay, dad,” I answered honestly.“Is daddy sick, mommy?”I looked at Darya and shook my head. “No, sweetie. Daddy is not sick. He's just…tired."She looked at me innocently. "I will kiss daddy to make him okay."I just smiled and looked at the elders. "I'll go out to buy some hygiene stuff.""Oh! Let our maids do that, sweetie." Damien's mom said but I shook my head."It's okay, mom. I'll also meet Camill
Lucky's POVI couldn't move. All I could do was stare at Rad's phone. My heart was beating so fast and my mind was in chaos. I wanted to confront him, but I couldn't move even a finger. I was too shocked and…confused. How? In mean…this is…My jaw almost dropped when he answered the call and put the phone on his ear.My eyes widened as I glanced at the screen of the phone in my hand. The call ended.I saw Rad talking to someone. I swallowed hard and tried to dial the number again but his phone didn't ring again.Blinking continuously, my mind was clouded with confusion and realization.Was I too desperate to catch this person that I suspected Rad? My ex-boss?I almost laugh at myself. Damn it, Lucky!Shaking my head, I started the engine and started driving.I don't know if I should be ashamed of myself or what.When I got home, my forehead creased after I heard Darya's cries. I immediately ran to the house, leaving the groceries I brought in the car."What happened?" I asked nervously
