016Luca:âDo you need help taking off the bandage? It's been a while since you took it off. I think it's about time to change itâ Zoey said, the tips of her finger touching my arm softly as if she was scared to touch it normally.I didn't respond. My grip tightened on the glass and I brought it to my mouth to gulp the alcohol down my throat.I wasn't ready to talk to her after what she did two days ago. How dare she lie to me after everything? I thought we were already cool and we were now like a team that would share anything with each other, but she chose to lie to me.However, it didn't matter anymore, I didn't care since I knew Roberto would never tell her anything he wasn't supposed to tell her. He knew his limits as he knew I could break his bones.My phone rang, vibrating on the bar top. I grabbed it, seeing that it was Drake, a guy I met at a club one night.I didn't want anything to do with him as he gave off a snitch kind of vibe and I was avoiding murdering another human.
017Zoey:He smirked. "I'm glad you made it. So, what made you come then?â.I let out a sigh. âDon't waste my time, Roberto. Luca might return home in no time and I don't want him to find out about this.â."Oh, you're scared of him?" He scoffed. âHe never returns until 12:00 every saturday so chill, scaredy cat.â.âJust don't waste my time. You said you would tell me everything, start talking.â,He barely let me finish before taunting me back, âand if I don't huh?" He clicked his tongue."Don't play with me. I didn't come here for silly jokes,â.He scoffed. "So Luca isn't who you think he is. He is interested in you but he's not interested at the same time.â."Explain!â."It's tangled and twisted. How do I explain? Can your IQ handle it?â He taunted again.I rolled my eyes, my fist clenching. "Stop playing games with me? Is he hiding something or are you the one who has things to hide here? I don't get it! What game are you playing with him and why are you even doing this? You said yo
018Zoey:We returned to the car and Luca slammed the door, zooming off immediately without saying a word, his face as hard as a rock.The air in the car was heavy, intoxicated with tension. Maybe only I felt it since I knew I already ruined everything, and Roberto was probably fighting for his life back there with no one to help him, yet I was unable to tell Luca that he shot his cousin and his cousin was the rapist.But would he understand or just see me as a traitor for not telling him earlier.I only sat there, my ass hot and wet against the seat as I sank my back, trying to swallow down the nervousness but it refused to get swallowed. It only remained stuck, not going higher and not flushing down.âDid the asshole touch you?!" He shouted out of the blue, making me jolt.I gulped, using my fingertips to secretly brush away the tiny beads of sweat mounting on my forehead, my heart thrumming in my ribcage as I looked at his face.His brows were arched into a frown as his eyes remain
019Luca:âI shot him! Right in his heart! And I swear if anything happens to him, I will make you point this right at your heart and pull the trigger.â I roared, my voice booming across the whole mansion as I pointed the gun at her.Her eyes glimmered with tears as she glanced at me, regret etched on her face as the tears spilled.âLuca," she whispered.My teeth grinded, then I turned to leave immediately without wasting another second as I knew I could do what a human wasn't supposed to do to another human.âLuca," her voice broke, slightly echoing as I walked down the passage, heading for the stairs as I shoved the pistol at the back of my pants, sliding it in before covering it with my shirt.I ran as fast as I could down the stairs before heading to the door, pulling the handle as I ran outside.It was a bit after 12:00 in the midnight and I couldn't just stop wondering what exactly Zoey and Roberto had between them.Zoey never knew Roberto in the first place and he didn't know h
020Luca:She stuttered, her hands trembling as she reached back to scratch her neck nervously. My eyes were still pinned on hers as I waited for her words but she seemed like she was unable to just say the words out.She looked as if she was scared to tell me the truth. As if if she told me the truth, I would butcher her.âAnswer me!â I shouted, my voice booming as my frown hardened, my brows creasing as my eyes narrowed.She jolted. "His condition is getting out of hand and we'll have to perform a surgery on him."âThen do it! You'll be paid.â I spat."The money isn't the problem here, we understand. His life is the problem. His life is at risk and we're not sure if he can survive it. It's an eighty, twenty thing,â she mumbled.My fist clenched. "And he can't survive without it?" I asked.She let out a sigh, humming at the same time as she nodded in response.âThen we have no other option, or do we?" I asked.They shook their heads, returning their gazes up to look at me.âWe actual
021Luca:âLast two nights?" I asked again to confirm even though I knew I heard her well and there was no reason to have to confirm again.âYes, sir. We are really sorry about this and we're trying to work on finding out who could have thought of stealing some DNA test stuff from a hospital. The person must really be a psychopath but we are trying our best, and in no time, the issue will be resolved and we'll let you know as soon as possible. We appreciate your understanding, sir.â She added.I hummed, letting out a sigh as I gestured for her to leave. She nodded, turning and leaving immediately. I fiddled with the car keys, not knowing what my next move should be but then, clutching the keys in my hand, I came up with an idea to just return home and bring the extra hair of Mr. Finn I had left.I kept the extra secretly for unexpected occurrences like this. I turned towards the exit, taking long strides. I soon exited the building, getting into the car. As soon as I started the engin
022Luca:âLuca DeLuca," the voice finally said something, this time sharp and heavy. âJust how long do you think you can keep hiding the truth from her?â.I remained frozen to the spot, trying to process who the hell had the audacity to come into my house and speak to me in such a manner.I then closed my eyes, chuckling with my voice even heavier than his.I rose up slowly and turned to face him, already knowing who it was.âRaymond, what the hell are you doing here? When did you return?âI asked, shocked to see him."Should you be asking that or rather asking why the fuck I came here of all places?â He taunted.I scoffed, closing the distance between us as I stretched out my hand for an informal handshake.He smirked, taking my hand and pulling our shoulders to touch each other in respect before we then let go of each other.He smiled.âWell why are you in my mansion that is obviously more accommodating than anywhere else you know, when you can be somewhere else?â I responded to his
023Zoey:"I'm pregnant, Luca.â The stunning blonde lady that just walked in, said.I gulped, unable to believe my heart just skipped a beat. Why was my heart skipping beats? I had no issue with that anyway, but somehow, I kept feeling a pang of jealousy.Luca's neck slightly tilted to look back at me, my eyes met his and I gestured for him to speak with her.âOh, it's your little bitch, huh?" She spat, slightly turning her head to look at me directly.I crossed my arms, looking back at her. I expected something better from such a pretty face, but she was a bummer.She threw me a nasty look, scoffing before returning her face to Luca who just stood there and said nothing. âI said I'm pregnant," she announced again.The nurse that stood by the door cleared her throat before leaving for us to have our privacy.âIâm married, Sarah, don't play games with me,â Luca said, his voice gentle, yet one could tell that he wasn't messing around and he could snap heads off one's neck at the moment
043Zoey:"You're pregnant?â He mouthed, his shoulders dropping in defeat.I let out a sigh, shaking my head as I put up a plastic smile. âLet's not talk about it now. Let's go back home. Pick your things, I'll be outside,"I turned swiftly, but his hand grabbed my wrist, pulling me back.I turned slowly, facing him.âYou do know once we get home, we won't be able to talk about any of this anymore? You would be paying for your Father's wrongdoings then,âI pressed my lips into a thin line, nodding gently as I looked away. "Yes, I'm aware. Pack your things," I turned away again, blinking back the tears that I never knew were welling up in my eyes until that moment.He still didn't let go of me, but I refused to turn back to look at him. I remained stiff, my back facing him.âYou can't put me on a thin line, Zoey, you know these are two things I want; a baby and your destruction,â"Who says I can't put you on the line, Luca?â I turned to him slowly, his eyes meeting mine.His Adam's app
042Zoey:My heart squeezed in my chest. Slowly, my grasp on his jaw loosened. His words sounded like a joke, but the intensity in his voice told me he wasn't messing around with me.I swallowed, my shoulders dropping in defeat as I took a few steps back, tears pricking my eyes.âWhat do you," I paused, my chest heaving up and down with each breath. âWhat are you talking about?âHe didn't respond, he only stood there, staring at me with no ounce of emotion in his eyes.I tried as much as I could, but I was unable to read his mind.âSay something!" I raised my voice, stepping forward and grabbing his shirt. "What are you talking about!!" I punched him on his chest.He grabbed my neck, turning and leaning his weight on me as we both collapsed.As soon as my body hit the bed, his grip locked tighter on my neck, trapping air in my esophagus.âI fucking told you to leave! I told you I'm toxic for you and I asked you to run before I would say my wish!â He spat, his voice heavy with hurt.I
041Zoey:âYou can't fulfill it. Once I say it, it must be fulfilled.â He muttered, his voice gentle.âI will, I promise. What's your wish?" I smiled, my lips spreading from ear to ear.âMy wish, Zoey?â A faint smile crept on his lips as he whispered as if he was trying to confirm if I really wanted to know.Thunder rumbled above and I glanced up, noticing that the cloud already picked a darker shade.I let out a sigh, my face still plastered to the sky. A lone drizzle of rain landed on my soft cheek. I chuckled, feeling more drizzles.Everyone else began to flee, protecting their heads with their hands while Luca and I remained. The rain kept drizzling, heavier now.I giggled, retreating from leaning on Luca and twirling like a baby. He stood there, his hands shoved into his pockets, watching me with so much concentration as if he was watching an engaging movie.Just as I prepared to stop twirling, I lost balance, staggering back with my hands trying to reach for the closest thing but
040Luca:I yanked her on the bed, climbing on her immediately like a beast. Without letting her catch her breath, my hand traveled to her slightly bruised wrists, capturing them and nailing them right above her head again.I grabbed her slim laps, tearing them apart before traveling down her body with my mouth, slurping her breasts and gently biting her nipples. She moaned, her body shivering with intense pleasure, responding to each of my touches. Her heart pounded in her chest.My mouth trailed up again, peppering her collar bone and neck with kisses and soft hickeys.Her breath caught, her moan hanging right in the middle of her throat as she swallowed. My grip tightened on her hand.Her chest heaved as soon as I raised my head to look her in the eyes. Without saying a word, she understood my command.âFuck!" She whimpered, her eyes bloodshot and her nose red. âFuck me, Daddy!" She cried.I smirked, grabbing one of her thighs with my hand and tearing it away from the other one. I
039Zoey:I slammed the taxi door, striding slowly inside the gate as it wasn't locked which meant someone was home, maybe.I managed to carry myself into the building, wincing with each step I took. I closed the door gently behind me, the double click filling the atmosphere as I stepped further slowly.I looked around the living room. The TV was off. The kitchen was empty. The whole place was silent. Glancing through the glass door at the backyard that was actually empty, I noticed the water in the pool was still.My neck tilted to the front again and I staggered to the stairs, climbing up and hoping Luca's head would pop out of any corner possible and scream to me that it's only a prank to see how much I cared about him.But no, everywhere was dead silent and I swear, I couldn't feel or smell Luca, his presence wasn't felt. I couldn't feel his energy anywhere near.I could tell when Luca was somewhere, his oppressive aura could be detected easily.I swallowed, slamming his room doo
038Zoey:The last thing I remembered was Luca coming in to save my life like a charming prince on a horse with a sword and armour. He rescued me just when I felt life almost slip off my fingers.How hopeless I felt that moment. My wails at that moment. The scars I avoided. The way I protected my little baby. The way I did everything, protecting myself by all means was all wasted and I knew at that moment that that would be the end for me.Well, that was before my prince charming showed up, rescuing me from the hands of those cruel creatures disguising as humans.I curled in his arms, wrapping my arms around his neck, his scent reminding me of home.Luca himself was home.The memories we shared lingered in his embrace, all my pain melting away as I felt safe in his arms, shivering All my negative energy tore off me, only hope remained, the hope and security I felt in Luca's arms.Was this what it felt like having someone who actually cared?Even though Luca was toxic for me, he suppr
037Luca:My eyes widened and I immediately spun around, turning to the door and dashing out of it.I went directly down the stairs, grabbing my keys. Turning to the door, I found it open, it was in fact shaking slightly which hinted that someone just walked out of it not quite long and forgot to slam it, or the person didn't slam it on purpose.I ran out of the door, entering my car and inserting the key in a swift. Like that, I zoomed out of the compound without waiting. I spotted a black car in the estate, speeding off right ahead of me. No normal car would want to speed off like that for no reason, so i could tell it was Sarah.I slammed my leg against the acceleration pedal, following the car closely behind. She managed to get out of the estate, but I was not ready to back down either so I went after the car, my engine vibrating and the car accelerating faster with each second that passed by. She wasn't also ready to stop.A traffic was ahead, and immediately we were about to get
036Luca:Two days has paased, and just as planned, Sarah was coming to my place tonight.Zoey hadn't returned yet and I tried my best to convince myself that I wasn't busy, but I had a feeling that told me to panic that something was wrong with Zoey, but I ignored the feeling. I knew I didn't need to worry about her, she probably was tired of the agreement we both had and she decided to run away even though I've gotten her revenge for her.I had no reason to chase her back or drag her for. I knew whatever she was doin would affect her one way or the other.And again, I wasn't her father so it wasn't my job to monitor her. She entered the car by herself, with her own legs and even opened the door with her own hand.Only if the person in the car pushed her in or opened the door for her to get in, I might have said the person might have silently threatened her, but she didn't just enter. She walked to the other side of the car to get in the seat she wanted. And she got in by herself, sm
035Luca:Something urged me to pick the phone. Just as I leaned closer to see what it was, my eyes came across a message.My neck snapped immediately as soon as I heard her voice. My eyebrows raised, my eyes widening in disbelief as I couldn't believe I was looking directly at Sarah's naked body.She flashed me a smile, walking closer and closer.I immediately stood up straight, looking directly at her face.She smirked, winking as she bit the tip of her finger then the middle.I could tell she was only doing all of this to seduce me. Only if she knew she was only disgusting.I hated it when women force out the âsexyâ in them just to get what they want. I preferred if they were natural and just cool without having to force themselves to look sexy to men just to seduce them.If they would naturally stand there like a statue, I preferred it and yes, that would make me hard as hell as I loved natural acts and not forced sexiness.They don't have to flip their hair, wiggle their waist, b
