Lucky’s POVMr. Smith’s cold and emotionless eyes bore at me. I lifted my chin as he neared us and finally sat on the chair across from me. Damien was holding my hand tight under the table.My forehead creased when Mr. Smith suddenly smiled. His smile was so creepy that it made my heart skip a beat because of fear. What the hell… This man is evil.“You look like your dad, Lucresia Salvador. It’s a waste that he’s already under the ground.”I gritted my teeth. I almost balled my fist if only Damien wasn’t holding my hand.I angrily dropped the photo Duncan gave me to the table. Mr. Smith's eyes slowly shifted to it and his smirk faded.My eyes darkened as I saw how expression changed. From my perspective, anger flickered in his eyes."What do you want?"I tilted my head. "I want the truth, Mr. Smith. What is your relationship with my dad? And why did your wife visit him?""Why don't you just forget about the past and focus on your life, Lucresia? My daughter has been killed and that ma
Lucky's POVI was constantly glancing at Rad and Damien who are talking in the living area. I'm in the kitchen with Camilla and Darya. Cami came not an hour ago."What's with Rad Keller?"I shook my head and slowly turned to Cami. “I don’t know.”I stared at her when I remember seeing her with someone. I don’t know what’s going on between them, but whatever it is, I’m happy for her.“What’s that look, Lucky? You’re creeping me out.”I smiled at her. “I’m just happy that you didn’t hate me after everything that happened.”She wrinkled her nose and smiled. “Why should I hate you? You’re my sister.”We stared at each other until she slowly grabbed my hand as her eyes softly looked at me.“I-I have something to tell you…”I nodded and smiled. She chewed her bottom lip and sighed. “I…like Duncan.”I squeezed her hands. “Really?”She looked down as guilt flickered in her eyes. “I like him but I’m guilty, Lucky. Sunny liked him.”I shook my head. “Liking him is not a sin, Cami. There’s nothi
Lucky's POVDamien texted me while I was on my way home. I exchanged phones with him today. I'm now using mine.He's already at home with Darya. Mrs. Smith left right after our argument. She was so angry and I had no courage and strength to stop her. I don't know her pain because I have my own pain.The fact that my father was an offender makes me weak. He was so perfect in my innocent eyes before and now it's tainted.I sucked my breath as I tried to ignore the thoughts in my head.Mr. Smith killed my father because of his wife? Is that it?I calmed myself before I went home. Darya and Damien are in the kitchen, cooking.I smiled as I watched them from the kitchen's entrance. Darya was sitting on the counter while Damien was in front of the stove.They're oblivious to my presence because they're talking."I love chicken, daddy!"Damien smiled at her. "I love chicken too!""How about mommy? Did she like chicken too?"I entered the kitchen. "I love chicken but I love Darya more.""Momm
Lucky's POVI couldn't take Zandra off of my mind. Mrs. Smith admitted the truth that Mr. Smith is trying to hide from me. She admitted it because of her exploding emotions and I don't know if I should be happy about it. I'm hurt.This is probably the reason why dad hid it from us. Because there are things that should remain as a secret or it will break many hearts.I want to tell mom about this. I can't hide it from her but I can't risk her health too. Yes! She's recovered already but I can't take a risk.I chewed my bottom lip and heaved a sigh. I don't wanna accept the truth.I flinched when I felt a warm hand caressing my arm. That's when I woke up from the depths of my thoughts and realized I was in a court hearing. Camilla was sitting beside me, holding my arm worriedly."Are you okay?" She whispered.I glanced in front and turned to her again. I slowly nodded and answered with a hoarse voice.I tried to focus on what's happening in front of me. Attorney Lee is now presenting th
Lucky's POVI was able to tell Camilla about the problem. She patiently listened. She patiently comforted me. My heart felt so heavy although I couldn't cry anymore. My tears have dried and even if I tried to cry, my tears won't show up. Only the pain that's burdening my heart."You can't tell Damien because you're ashamed about your dad's crime? Lucky, we don't know if Mrs. Smith was telling the truth."I shook my head as I stared at Camilla. "We're both women, Camilla. And I saw the truth in her eyes. I saw it with my own eyes. She hates my father so much.""If that's true, then that's probably the reason why Mr. Smith did that to your father."I chewed my bottom lip and sigh. "I don't know. It doesn't make sense, Cami. Why not punish dad right after he committed the crime? And Zandra died… I don't know what to think anymore, Cami.""Don't stress yourself.""How? Even if I thought about it over and over again, there's one thing I'm sure about. All of these started because of my dad.
Lucky's POVI was watering the plants early in the morning when I saw Rad's car coming. He parked his car in front of the gate and his eyes automatically roamed around and found mine.He smiled sweetly and glanced at the guard. The latter who knows him opened the gate and allowed him in.I should tell the guards not to let anyone in no matter who it is.The bodyguards scattered around the yard did not even budge as Rad walked towards me."Good morning." He smiled again.I bit my bottom lip and smiled. "Morning. Damien's not here."Today, the court will reveal its decision regarding Damien's case. I'm pretty confident he'll get his license back and I'm sure all the people who judged him will regret their accusations.Rad slowly nodded. "Where is he?"I stared into his eyes. "On his way to get his license back."His lips parted in shock. "Huh? I mean…how?"The corner of my lips rose in an arrogant and proud smile. "What do you mean why? My husband is innocent. He's framed up by someone.
Damien's POV"What's up?" Duncan asked after he saw me enter his office. He rested his back on his swivel chair while I sat on the chair in front of him and roamed my eyes around.He's currently managing the LSG Transport. Since he was the second biggest investor, he was appointed by the board after me."I visited the Green Corp."He nodded. "How's Lucky? The person stalking her?"I shook my head. "I have a hunch but I don't wanna point at anyone without evidence.""Her bodyguards?""I reviewed their files and background. They're all my father's loyal men."A deafening silence filled us. I was staring at my fingers tapping the table when my eyes accidentally landed on a stuffed toy on Duncan's couch.He seemed to notice my eyes and he followed my gaze. He cleared his throat. "That's from Camilla. It has a bug that cannot be easily detected. The left eye."My forehead creased. I was just staring at the stuffed toy when I realized something. My eyes widened in fraction as I slowly turne
Damien's POV"Damien! W-What happened? Where's Darya? Where's Lucky?"I blinked numerous times as I lifted my face and looked at my parents looking down at me worriedly. Lucresia's mom kneels before me and holds my hands. Her eyes were red and swollen.She sniffed. "W-Where is Darya? Is she okay? How about L-Lucky? Son, please tell me. Tell us…"I looked down as tears rolled down my face again. "I-I'm sorry, mom. I was stupid and careless…""Shh!" She caressed my shoulders. "It's n-not your fault. Duncan told us some details but we don't know what really happened. It confuses me, Damien. What really happened?"I lifted my face and sniffed. "Lucresia was kidnapped, mom… I-I want to follow her but Darya…"I looked at the emergency room. They've been inside for almost 30 minutes now and I'm worried so damn much. I'd die if something happened to my daughter.Mom gasped as she sat beside me and caressed my back, comforting me. Lucresia's mom held my hands as she sobbed."No, it's not your
