LUCIA'S POV

I immediately snapped out of it, just as Johnny turned his head to see me. On seeing his enchanting, dreamy eyes, my heart thumbed incredulously against my chest. Not because I was scared but because I.... I don't know? I can't even look away. It feels like I was momentarily frozen on the spot.

"Uhm...I...uhm...good evening Ma, I didn't know... I-I'm sorry for barging in." I managed to say amidst my stuttering, my eyes were still fixed on the hottie before me.

He smiled at me, and his smile was so captivating.

I told you already, I'm a very terrible person." I said with a sigh and Johnny heaved a sigh that seems to be that of relief. "What's that you said about marriage again? You guys were betrothed?" He suddenly asked, looking worried."Well kind of. But Dan clearly doesn't wanna have anything to do with me. My dad also doesn't want me to be with someone who won't love me, so it's not gonna work." I suddenly paused and furrowed my brows, realizing something. "Wait, why am I telling you all this?" "Ah, that's a relief," Johnny smiled. "I'm happy you told me so don't wo

Well I pushed her too far by talking about her mom in that regard but she caused it.What am I missing? When did she suddenly changed? Something doesn't feel right. When I mentioned her getting back at Diva for taking her fame, crush and friend she didn't seem concerned about it. But up till last month, she was still notorious as ever.

    LUCIA'S POV I walked into Balmont's cafe and saw her already seated there. I stride over to her and sat down. The only reason I'm here is because of the fact that she'd mentioned Diva's name. Johnny also said to come and see what she's up to."Oh you are here." She smiled while I just stared at her."Why's this place quiet and devoid of customers?" I asked, as I scanned around. "I bought it for a few minutes so I can have a quiet conversation with you. Don't worry, I also took care of the CCTV." She said and I couldn't help but scoff. Whatever she wants to say must be pretty illegal..."How long has it been? Nine years? It's really good to see you again Lucia. You look much more matured and way prettier than I last remembered." She said smilingly and I rolled my eyes away. She didn't change, still really slender with her mother's brunette hair although I noticed she dyed some part of it to blonde. Her dress style was like that of a total badass girl."Look Lucia, I'm really sorry f
