LOGINHi there! Lucas and Kate kinda bore me out with their talks in the previous chapter..... Hahaha. What do you think of the story so far?
"What?" Ace exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief. "She was pregnant?” he asked, looking between the doctor and Lucas. His eyes stayed on Lucas as he searched his face for any sign that he knew what the doctor was talking about.One look at him, and Ace knew that Lucas had no idea. He ran his hands through his hair as he wondered if Kate knew about her pregnancy.Lucas remained quiet as he stood there, thinking about the doctor’s words.‘Kate was pregnant with his child?’The muscle in his jaw twitched as his thoughts raced. ‘Did she know? Why didn't she tell him?’ Then he shook his head, as if erasing that thought.No. Kate wouldn't hide something like that from him. She’d always been direct with her feelings, and she couldn't possibly be carrying his child and choose not to tell him.Lucas's eyes narrowed as he realized that Kate didn't know either.Lucas's heart ached at the realization. They had a baby together. Their baby, and it was gone before they even knew it existed. He
Immediately, Ace pulled the car into the hospital parking lot. Lucas quickly pushed the car door open and stepped out, pulling Kate closer into his arms as he stormed toward the hospital entrance.Ace and Victor rushed after him.As they entered the hallway, Victor approached the reception desk. “Get the director here. Immediately,” he said, his voice laced with authority.They didn’t need to make any introductions because the moment Lucas and Ace entered the hospital, most of the nurses and staff recognized him as the Head of the Romano Empire.The receptionist’s hands shook as she grabbed the phone and spoke into it quickly, then she dropped the phone down. “H-he is on his way, sir,” she said to Victor, who nodded at her.Seconds later, the hospital director came rushing down the hall with his coat half on and wide eyes. He stopped when he saw Lucas, while his eyes flickered to the woman in his arms and the blood staining his clothes.He swallowed hard, then barked orders to the nu
Kate's heart thudded wildly in her chest as she witnessed Lucas's way of punishing his offenders with her own eyes.For a moment, she forgot about her pain as she listened to the screams and cries of Wilson, and then Elizabeth. Her heart couldn't help but feel pity for them.Lucas.The man was different. He was like a grim reaper, ready to collect the life of anyone who dared to cross his path.He hadn't even looked her way when he entered the room. Lucas acted as if she didn't exist or matter to him at all, and the thought of that made her chest ache terribly.Kate closed her eyes, letting her fingers curl weakly against Ace’s arms as a chill ran down her spine at the ruthlessness of the man she had fallen in love with.And then, she remembered the words he'd said to her the other day. 'Come on, Kate. You deem that ruthless? It wasn't ruthless in the slightest. I granted them a painless death, my dear.'Back then, she had thought that was cruelty. But now that she’d seen for herself
“Dad!" Elizabeth cried, sobbing uncontrollably from where she was being held as she watched. She turned to Lucas with red, swollen eyes. “You monster! Let him go, please."Lucas didn't even spare Elizabeth a glance and instead turned to Felix. “Take him away. Finish him off by stabbing him continuously where it hurts until he breathes no more," he announced coldly.The room fell into deeper silence as goosebumps rose on everyone's skin. Lucas's men shook their heads internally, consciously making a mental note not to cross or betray their boss. Felix nodded at Lucas and gestured for two of his comrades to help take Wilson away.As Wilson was dragged out of the room by his legs, Lucas turned his face away and looked at Elizabeth—his next target. At his gaze, Elizabeth's knees almost gave out beneath her.Just then, a tall figure stormed into the room, a black mask covering his face, hiding his handsome features but doing little to conceal the dangerous intent in his blue eyes. His ent
Wilson's gun fired, hitting Kate's shoulder, and she gasped, her voice sharp with pain.Lucas froze, his heart skipping a beat as he watched the bullet touch her.In that moment, something inside Lucas completely snapped.Wilson stumbled back onto the floor from the impact of Matteo’s wheelchair on his leg, but he was still holding the gun. When he saw that he had missed his aim because of the push, his eyes sharpened wildly as they locked onto Kate.He raised his gun at her again, ready to finish her off. But before he could shoot, Ace stepped in front of the frozen Lucas and fired, hitting Wilson straight in the hand.“Ugh," Wilson groaned as the gun slipped from his grasp and clattered loudly against the floor. One of Lucas's men, Felix, quickly moved, picked up the gun, punched Wilson in the face, and held him down on the floor.Ace rushed to Kate's side to check if the bullet had touched her. When he saw that the bullet had slightly grazed her shoulder, he sighed in relief. "Kate
Elizabeth pointed to one of her father's men. “Hey, you. Go search him,” she said, her eyes never leaving Lucas’s face.The man hesitated for a moment, sensing the cold aura emanating from Lucas’s body. Fear flickered in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it, remembering that they had the man’s wife with them.With that, he mustered up the courage and approached Lucas as he began to search him. He collected the gun Lucas was holding in his hand, and after searching him, he didn’t see anything else on him.Then he stepped aside and held the gun up for Elizabeth to see. “Found this, ma’am,” he said, his voice a little shaky from being near Lucas.Elizabeth glanced at the gun, then back at Lucas, a conflicting expression appearing on her face. A mix of emotions flickered in her eyes: anger, longing, and desire for the man standing before her. “What did you ever see in her?” she asked, her voice curious with a hint of desperation.“I was a better candidate than her,” Elizabeth continued
As Kate entered the living room, she plopped onto the couch and threw herself back, leaning into the sofa cushion and closing her eyes. She zoned out for a bit, lost in thought, trying to shake off the annoyance Matteo had ignited in her.After a while, Kate straightened up and blew out a frustrate
Matteo watched as different expressions crossed Elizabeth’s face. She was lost in thought, her brows furrowed as she contemplated what to do. Then, he noticed her biting her lower lip a moment later, her eyes filled with hesitation and fear.Matteo was now more than curious to hear what secret abou
Kate struggled in Matteo's arms for a while, and when she saw that he still wouldn't let her go, she lowered her head and bit down hard on his arm, almost drawing blood. He immediately released her, his face scrunched up in pain as he glared at her.She quickly distanced herself from him and looked
“What is she doing here?” Elizabeth muttered, her eyes fixed on a woman’s back.Aiden, who was standing beside her, followed her gaze, and they landed on a familiar figure. He glanced away from the woman, then turned back to Elizabeth. “Her friend is currently being treated in the hospital,” he sa
