Lucas's POV"I know you and Iris talked about something. About what? I just want to know Lucas. I won't be mad if you tell the truth." I sighed and turned away from Clara. My wife wants to know what Iris and I talked about earlier? I know she won't be quiet if she doesn't know this."About the kid. To Andrie. She wants to ask for my help to find her son." I could feel Clara watching me as I turned away from her. I heard her sigh in annoyance."Many people in the world. You are the one Iris will really approach to find her son? What is her son's connection to you for she ask for help to Lucas? There are many authorities, right?" Clara's words widened my eyes. Does she have doubts? Or does she just want to know the truth? Suddenly, Iris's words about Andrie being our son came to my mind. Something happened to us? I can't remember! My plans will be ruined.I know Iris is just fooling me. She will only use the kid to manipulates me. To manipulates my personality around here in company
I simply wiped my tears away from my tiny eyes. Trembling and fear in my heart always thuds. It's like my chest is being pierced by the sword, I feel it how it is hurts. "Hello!"

Lucas's POV"I don't need her fucking mercy. She's making the situation worse. Maybe Iris thought she could tricked my men. She didn't know that her every move was being watched of my men." I almost exploded with so much anger because of what Iris have done. She doesn't know how to follow through on the conversation. She tricked my men.Before it all happened. Daniel had his comrades to watch Iris's every action. And they knew that Iris ask for help from the authorities. A useless conversation took place. Because of what Iris have done. My men will put in danger. She's such a useless talker."She's a wise! She's a tough opponent. She'll ruin and ruin your plans. So if I were you! You'd find a way to get her punish to what she have done." My eyebrows furrowed because of what Clara advised. My wife watched me while I was restless. My heart feels so hatred with Iris.I know she said that because she just wanted to protect me as her husband. She doesn't want to harm me.I know. I under

"Mommy! I want to jingle."We had just arrived at the company when Andrie peed. He holds his pant in frontward.He was so cute to watch but I felt a little worried for him. He might hurts!I hurriedly accompanied him to C.R and let him in. I just waited for him outside. I'm only holding the file I'm carrying."Well, well! Well!" I turned to see who? That's when I saw Clara Mondragon. She just reached the C.R area. I know she will use the C.R.She is so elegant and precious while handling her priceless handbag. She looked at me from head to toe.She rolled her eyes secretly and I saw that. Yes, she is horrifying gorgeous but I'm more as pretty as I am. She doesn't need my personality. She will makes a mistake.Maybe she's forgetting that she's just another scumbag in this company. Because of mercy, she became a member of the company."Have a nice day! I thought you would never come back to the company? You have been gone for so long! Are you considered yourself as a responsible member
Lucas's POVI was about to sign the paper... But...I suddenly pulled back the pen I was holding on. "You can leave this paper with me!"

My wife's heart is flaming.I stood up and looked away through the window. Even the flares in my heart for Iris never faded away. But I still have to think about what I will do. I won't sign that paper she handed over me. "The company is col
My feet suddenly froze from walking when I met Lucas unexpectedly. I want to rushed him because he disapproved my resignation papers I had submitted to him.Widened his eyes surprisedly as he watching me. He swallowed hard. He was shocked to see me in front of him.Because of his gaze, I feel that he wants to kill me away. He wants to punish me more. I can see the furious in his eyes.I looked down at his chest because I can't fight back with his stares, so sharps. My heart thuds faster, running to my chest.We are just both standing and speechless to each other. We acted like we're strangers this world. I know Lucas is watching me as now. I know he's looking at me carefully. I know he hates me right now. My eyes widened when he suddenly rushed towards me.

The cold breeze felt like ice on my skin.A large tent serves as a shelter from the heavy rain. Here we are sheltered so that we don't get wet forever.I couldn't imagine and was not sure where Lucas was lyi
