Accidentally bumping into Lucas at the obstetrician's office weighed heavily on Deasy's mind for three whole days. In reality, whether Lucas hung out in the ER, the cardiologist's practice, or even the operating room shouldn't have been an issue for Deasy at all.
However, what really irked Deasy was that instead of accompanying her, a clearly pregnant woman, Lucas was escorting another lady. Who is it that's carrying Lucas's child, anyway? Deasy or Devina? Or could it be that Devina has also invested in her fiancé's womb all this time?
Beyond that, whether intentional or not, Lucas's warm and attentive attitude toward Devina infuriated Deasy.
Yes, Deasy knew that Lucas had always been a gentle and caring man. His acts of service were exceptional, to say the least. But that didn't mean he had to be that way with every woman. Deasy thought that such special treatment should be reserved for her alone, but that wasn't the case.
Before Deasy's very eyes
"What else do you want by coming here?" Andreas asked with a cold tone. He stared sharply at Deasy, who now stood before him with her head bowed.Following her mother's request, Deasy had finally mustered the courage to meet Andreas at his office. Luckily, the middle-aged man was in his office. Even more fortunate, although his secretary had informed him of the visitor's identity, Andreas had no intention of chasing her away. He still welcomed her in, eager to hear why the late friend's daughter had bothered to come to his office."I-I have something to tell you, Sir."Andreas nodded. He raised his hand and gestured for Deasy to sit on the sofa in front of him."Just go ahead and tell me your purpose and intention for coming here. I don't have much time to listen to lengthy explanations."Deasy took a deep breath. She swallowed hard and tried to find the right words to convey to the man she had insulted and targeted for revenge just a few days ago.
"I'm also pregnant. Pregnant with Lucas' child. Next week, the two of us are even going to have a wedding. If you have time, don't forget to come."Upon hearing those words, throughout the journey, Deasy felt like cursing continuously. Honestly, she was furious to hear the news that Lucas would be having a wedding party in just a few days. Not with her. But with the woman who had intentionally approached and looked down on her earlier.Damn!If we rewind about four to five months, Deasy's life could be considered peaceful. Yes, despite feeling hurt because she had to face the fact that Daniel the Sneaky MagigCom was openly cheating, and even dumped her, at least Deasy's life was still within reasonable limits.It all started because of the luck-nut alcohol she had sipped at Daniel's wedding party. If only she hadn't met Lucas and been brought there by his subordinate, she might not have ended up having a one-night stand with a random person. Let
"Des, why are you spaced out? Thinking about the national debt or something? You've been quiet since I started talking."Veronica sounded a bit annoyed. After all, this weekend, she had deliberately invited Deasy to go shopping at the mall, just to stroll around, have some food, and look at baby supplies, so her friend wouldn't continue to feel stuck.Veronica understood.She understood very well what Deasy was going through and probably thinking about right now. Without needing an explanation, Veronica could sense the frustration, sadness, anxiety, and confusion that seemed to be mixed up inside Deasy.Moreover, anyone would react the same way. Just imagine, when you've just fallen in love again. You were about to weave a beautiful and happy life together. And even when you were just one step away from getting married officially, everything suddenly fell apart due to an unexpected event.During the initial disaster, Veronica was also a witness. Sh
"Lucas... how's it going? Does this white dress I'm wearing and chose look good?"Lucas crossed his arms and observed with great attention. The man then cast a scanning gaze from head to toe, carefully assessing Devina's appearance as she swayed in front of him.Currently, the two of them were in one of the renowned designer workshops for wedding dress fittings and all related matters. While Lucas remained comfortably seated, Devina, who had been busy from the beginning, was trying on various dresses presented to her.Lucas couldn't deny that Devina looked very beautiful. In almost every dress the woman tried on, it seemed to fit and suit her tall and graceful figure. Lucas was actually getting confused about which one to choose."I think the last one seems better than the ones before.""Yeah, I agree. I also prefer this one. It feels more comfortable and easy to move in. So, should we go with this one?"Lucas nodded repeatedly, agreeing wit
After all this time, with no rhyme or reason, Deasy suddenly invited her mother to go to her father's grave.However, a while back, whenever Diana invited her to just visit briefly, Deasy always had reasons to decline.It wasn't without reason, actually. It's just that she felt really sad having to remember and accept the fact that her father was truly gone.Undoubtedly, compared to her mother, Deasy was closer and more familiar with her father.That's why, when her father had to depart suddenly, Deasy felt upset and lost.She thought her father was perfectly fine at the time. Why did he suddenly drop and then lose his life?After all, there were still many plans they had together that hadn't been realized. That's why Deasy truly felt sad."Pa, how are you? I'm sorry I only just got around to visiting Papa's new home."Deasy gently touched the surface of the tombstone with the name Anton Winterborne written on it. Sitting there
Deasy fell silent for a moment. Once again, she took a deeper breath than before, as if releasing the burden that had been gnawing at her heart.Her hand didn't stop rubbing her father's tombstone repeatedly. Acting as if the person who had been gone for so long was right in front of her, listening to what she was saying."Deasy has committed a grave mistake, Pa. How can I redeem myself?""Just repent, Des. Confess your sins to God," Diana chimed in again. Then she averted her gaze, acting indifferent. Even though her daughter seemed annoyed because her words were constantly interrupted."Many staff members lost their livelihoods because of what Deasy did. I swear to God, I regret it. But... Papa, don't worry, I've apologized. I've confessed my sins to Mr. Andreas as well. I've apologized to him for my past actions, which were also Papa's. I hope, after this, there will be no more misunderstandings. And... one more thing. There's something I want to tell
Lucas looked at himself once again in the mirror, ensuring that nothing was lacking in his attire and accessories.If there were no hindrances, in just an hour, his wedding party would soon take place. His entire extended family was probably already gathered in the hotel's main ballroom, which he had chosen as the venue for this lavish event, celebrating this historic and sacred day in his life.Not only that, but even his father had been pacing in and out of the hotel room, double-checking Lucas's appearance and readiness. He was making sure with great seriousness that after this, he would be prepared to embark on a new life with his wife."Mr. Lucas," Felix addressed him, who had been in the room with Lucas, waiting. "How long do you plan to keep gazing at yourself, Mr. Lucas? Honestly, I've been watching you for more than ten times now, making sure everything is perfect – from makeup, hairstyle, suit, to the shoes you're wearing. But, if I may say, everything is already perfect. Th
"Ve, do I really have to go all out like this with extravagant makeup?"Currently, Veronica had brought Deasy to one of her regular high-end salons. She was intentionally giving her best effort to make her friend look stunning and the center of attention for many.As planned earlier, Deasy was going to attend Lucas's wedding, and Veronica even volunteered to accompany and assist her.Because Veronica wanted Deasy to look flawless, she took charge of everything from the gown, makeup, and all the details."Yes, Des, of course. We want to make Lucas regret it, right? So, you have to go all out. Let him regret ever letting you go so easily."Deasy nodded in agreement. To make Lucas regret his decision and realize what he had lost, she obediently followed Veronica's instructions."Here's the gown you need to wear," Veronica said, handing over a white off-shoulder A-line gown with glitter accents to Deasy, who had just finished her makeup."Wow, the gown is really beautiful. Where did you b
