CHAPTER 15
“Sh*t!”
“W-why?!” Eve blurted out in surprised when Lucas suddenly pulled her into a run.
Lucas didn’t glance at her as they exited the restaurant, replying at her. “I will explain later but just run!”
“But! Ahhhhh! Who the hell are they?! AND WHY AM I EVEN RUNNING TOGETEHR WITH YOU!?”
Lucas and Eve looked at each other, Eve’s eyes widening in fear. For after several minutes of continuous running like as if running from death, they came faced to face with a tall brick of wall. They were cornered.
“You really think you can run away from me, Levin. I already swore last time, didn’t I? I will take revenge on you!”
Hearing that voice, Lucas immediately stepped in front of Eve: hi
“L-let’s get you to the hospital…Let’s-” “No. Eve. Not there-” “WHAT NOT THERE?! YOU’RE ALREADY THIS WOUNDED! HOW CAN I NOT BRING YOU TO THE HOSPITAL?!” Eve was already sobbing, hands pressing over Lucas’s wound. Benedict and his men had already left when Eve told them she already called the police. Though it was just a lie she made up. and now, she had to watch Lucas bled in her arms. Seeing her worried state, Lucas smiled and chortled that his blood-stained teeth were shown. ‘I didn’t know you love me this much.” “You really even had the guts to flirt with me in this state!?” Annoyed, Eve punched him in his chest, making him gr
It was deep at night after Eve left Lucas's room. She was so tired. both physically and emotionally. She was also so scared when she saw him lying on the ground with a wound in his abdomen. Thus, she was knocked to sleep the moment she was embraced by the mattress. However, in the midst of her deep sleep, she was jolted by a loud rattle coming from the room next to hers. it’s as if furniture’s or tools were being thrown to the wall or to the floor. “Lucas…” she immediate muttered, realizing he’s the one living on the room next to hers. without even fixing herself, not even wearing anything over her nightgown or slipping in her slippers, she run towards his room. “Lucas! Lucas!” she was hysterically yelling, pounding the door as hard as she can. She was worried those men had came back and hurt him again.&nbs
Eve sprinted as fast as she could. She even abandoned the bag of food she bought and directly went towards the elevator. Her father’s guard didn’t also stay as still as before. They immediately chased her, and since there was no bodyguard in the building she was staying at, they entered as they pleased. Eve instinctively pressed her floor button, turning around to make sure they didn’t catch up on her. As she watched them approaching her, she held her breath while the door closes slowly. “Please… please… please shut it close now…” she was praying, eyes not blinking even once as slowly the elevator shut close and at the same time, those men went near her. Her heart dropped. For seconds before the door fully closed, she saw one of them throwing hi
CHAPTER 19 The men left the room. Yet Lucas neither stopped nor planned to stop in exploring Eve’s body. Instead, he became more aggressive and daring. He found Eve’s lips, kissing her torridly. He even held the back of her nape, guiding her on the right way of kissing. While his other hand found its way to the curve of her slender waist. “Uhh…” Eve whimpered between wet kisses, unintentionally welcoming Lucas’s advances. She knew she must stop. she also knew her father’s men were long gone. She knew what this was leading to especially when both of them were naked. Yet, in every kiss and every touch Lucas did, she gave up. Because right now, she realized she wanted him too. she wanted him badly to let him own her body right now. Lucas stopped for a moment, pulling his lips away from
“Should we run away?” Eve’s eyes widened in surprise, pushing him away and stand up. “I…Why would I elope with you!?” Hearing her flustered outburst, Lucas chuckled and started picking up his shirt. And since he had taken his pants off, he was wearing on nothing but a thin boxer. And it made Eve’s cheeks blushed so hard. She looked away. “I’m not asking you to elope with me, Miss Eve. I’m literally asking you to run away with me.” At his answer, Eve’s brow met as she turned to him. “What do you mean?” “You father’s man, specifically the leading one, saw your brassier. It’s a Natalia. A brand only the high-class women can afford. And do you think, someone living in this dilapidated build
“I think we need some stuffs here,” Eve said as she turned to Simon. Yet, instead of him, it was Lucas who was suddenly behind her. and he was blocking Simon with his proud chest.Lifting her eyes, she glared at him. Yet, he didn’t seem to mind. He’s like a bug that kept following her, bothering her where every she goes. Simon who was looking around the house he picked nodded in agreement. “You’re right. I actually rushed when I rented this so there aren’t many supplies yet. There aren’t even foods here…”“Should we go shopping?” Lucas butted in, trying to steal her attention. And though he was succeeding, Eve getting annoyed of him. “But people might recognize you!” Simon protested. And this time, he emerged behind Lucas as he held his shoulder. Lucas shrugged. “Yeah. I’m so popularly hot that women might swarm over me once I got out.” His arrogance made Eve wanted to puke. So, to tease him, she pretended she was. Lucas wasn’t affected by it. “Unfortunately for them,
“You, sure?” Eve almost laughed when Lucas presented to himself that he will let her have the master’s bedroom. And that he will use the guest room since there were only two rooms in the house. Simon may have really believed they’re moving in as a ‘couple’ that he really got a room with just a single room. Lucas glanced at her, pausing from heading to the guest room. there was a smile on his lips. “Don’t worry. I can break any door’s lock if ever I miss you.” She sneered at him. like how can he expect him to stop flirting with her and stop making those dirty little thoughts? Marching towards her room, Eve slammed the door. His chuckles filled the entire house. *** Lucas was still fixing the things they bought, some new clothes, personal essentials and others. He discovered there wasn’t a bathroom in the guestroom and it made him grin. This only means he will share the bathroom with Eve. He picked the paper bag where his toothbrush, razor and soap were still packed. Yet,
“She’s sleeping.” Simon stopped looking around the living room, his eyes diverting to Lucas. Since Simon came, Lucas noticed him trying to find something. Though, he knew, it’s not ‘something’ but ‘someone’.Guilty, Simon sat on the chair across his friend with red ears.“Oh. That’s good for her. Though don’t make her sleep too much since it will make it harder for her later. Also, keep her diet healthy. It’s good for her and the baby.”Brows’ furrowing, Lucas asked. “Are you a doctor? Why do you keep nagging?”Simon scoffed and grinned, raising a brow proudly. He leaned back and crossed his legs. “Well, apparently I am. And I had revived you from death several times already.”Lucas just chortled and opened the can beer that his friend brought. He was about to drink it when Simon reached his hand towards him, asking the beer from him. Shaking his head, he gave up the can to him that made Simon smile victoriously. Lucas opened another one and sipped the booze when S
Eve dropped her hand holding the phone to her side. Breathing deeply several times to calm herself, she decided to go out of the bathroom now. however, as she unlocked the door and pulled it open, her eyes widened in surprise by who she saw. Her lips tremble again as she stared at those pair of raven-black eyes. “L-Lucas…” Did he hear it? Did he already know she was leaving him? that she’s betraying him? That she’s planning to take their child away from him? Her heart pounded so hard that all she couldEve dropped her hand holding the phone to her side. Breathing deeply several times to calm herself, she decided to go out of the bathroom now. however, as she unlocked the door and pulled it open, her eyes widened in surprise by who she saw.

Like… Why was he here? How did he know about Theo? Why was he out when he was supposed to be in prison? Why… would he suddenly show up in a renowned party such as this when he’s just some hot hunk who might not be able to afford it? Wait. In the first place, Lucas Levin wasn’t some ordinary man to begin with. But if he wasn’t an ordinary man, then who exactly was he? Turning around, what Eve saw first was a well-dressed man’s body in an expensive black tux that proudly revealed his broad chest and square shoulders. Then slowly, with quivering eyes, she looked up at him.
“You aren’t my father’s mistress, too right? that’s why he let you in?” “Prrrkkk! WHAT THE HELL EVE?!” Shia stood up, eyes were almost popping out of her eye sockets with what she just heard. Of course, she’s a flirt but she won’t ever flirt with an old man! especially, Eve’s father. Although Shia’s face had paled so much from what she just said, Eve just crossed her legs as if she said nothing wrong and looked at her. “I am just stating a possibility. My dad would never let a stranger into his house for no reason. And if you’re his mistress, it will be no surprise since you are beautiful and a real catch. I would even love to live with you rather than his mistress, Livia.” In disbelief, Shia was left speechless. She sat on her chair, gobbling up all the wine left from her glass, and gawked at Eve with wide eyes. She
In your house?” “In. Their. House.” Eve put emphasis on her words since after all, she long had refused to call this place her own house/ home. Shia paused for a moment but replied as she blinked her long lashes away. “Well, I had my own ways…” “You aren’t my father’s mistress, too right? that’s why he let you in?” “Prrrkkk! WHAT THE HELL EVE?!” Shia stood up, eyes were almost popping out of her eye sockets with what she just heard. Of course, she’s a flirt but she won’t ever flirt with an old man! especially, Eve’s father.
Eve was awakened by an adorable angel-like boy in front of her. He looked somewhat annoyed, probably because she didn’t wake up only until he raised his voice. She also noticed that his tiny hands were cupping her cheeks. “Mommy is such a sleepy-head,” he grumbled with pouted lips. And instead of feeling scolded, she couldn’t help but giggle. Just when did you see someone scolding as cute as her son? “Fine, fine. Mommy will now get up, alright? Now, get off me,” she said with a laugh that made Theo’s brow crease even more. He’s really pissed now. Watching her like this, Eve had always wondered if Lucas would look the same if ever he gets annoyed too. because thinking back to when they were together, Lucas seemed to never
“You just said what?!” “I said, give me Morris Hierta’s number,” Eve repeated impatiently but it wasn’t what Shia was asking of. Thus, with the same impatient voice, she answered back, “No, not that one. It’s what you said before that.” Eve paused for a moment and thought of what she said before. She even combed her hair using her fingers since she had been thinking a lot since the day that Theo had disappeared. And trying to think further frustrates her. “You mean, me being back here?” “HELL YES!” That was Shias blurt out. It was obvious that she was already sulking for not telling her beforehand. “I’ve been convincing you for like ages to visit me and you never did even for once. And
‘What are you even thinking, Eve Rizzo? Did you just thought that Lucas would come and see Theo?’ 7 “You’re here. I was here to fetch Theo to a dinner but this guard stopped us. You’re not trying to take my grandson away from me, do you?” Eve was chocked by her own self. She could not believe what she just heard. Her father sounded as if sulking. Thus, she laughed. “How could I, dad? I think Theo loves you already. Isn’t it right, Theo?” She looked down at her son who had been waiting to gain her attention. Theo nodded and smiled wide. “Hmm! I love grandpa but I love mommy more! Do you love me too, Mommy?” “Of course! I love my Theo the most!” Eve was about to carry him but then, she was stunned when her father kneeled to level to Theo and then he carried him in his arms again. “Then let’s go! Grandpa will take you to a dinner even you love your mommy more.” Her dad walked away with Theo, giggling guiltily. After recovering fr
This son of hers… sometimes him being so intelligent in words and memory was too troublesome. Even his love for her can be sometimes too much. What was he thinking, trying to catch Lucas so he can bring him back in their home? To what? To let her hug Lucas instead of his picture? “Damn.” Eve cursed under her breath and run even faster. She just wanted to disappear right now. Such embarrassment… she couldn’t take it. As Lucas watch the woman running as she carried a little boy in her arms, he couldn’t help but grit his teeth. He was overwhelmed with mixed emotions. Anger. Disappointment. Longing. And desperation.
Theo. Where do you want to study?” At her question, Theo went and sat beside her, looking at the screen of her laptop. Those were lists of schools where he could study kindergarten. Even before Theo could understand things, Eve had always let him choose things in his life. And just like today, she was letting him pick at what school he’ll study. Although he’s just still five, Theo could already read and understand a lot of words. Though he knew far more than what Eve was aware of. Lifting his eyes at her mother, he pointed at the screen. And Eve read it. “Davidson Academy?”
