“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
Hearing a thud from the direction of Eve’s room, Lucas and Simon looked at each other. and in a beat, they both headed towards it.And when Lucas saw her room door opened halfway, he suddenly felt nervous as he thought of something bad. “Eve!” he run towards her door, opening the lights on, only to find Eve sleeping peacefully in her bed. She was even sleeping on her stomach, and had her hair covering her face. “Is she-”Simon paused and sighed in relief after seeing her. Shrugging his shoulders, he turned around. “Phew! That made me worried for nothing.”The he left with Lucas and Eve in the room. It made him smile seeing Lucas’s rare worried expression for a long time. Sign that he really cared for someone. Finally.Walking towards her, Lucas sat beside her and tucked her hair behind her ears. He stared at her face and couldn’t help but smile. A rare thing he will ever do. It’s because he’s always grinning rather than smil
Simon was in the baby essential corners in the mall, pushing a cart filled with baby things. “Sleeping wears. Check.”“Diapers, wipes: check.”“Formula bottle and milk: check.”“Bathtub: check.”“Should I buy a crib too?” Simon asked himself though his eyes were already fixated on the cribs at the end of the aisle. Then, without hesitating he went towards it. he was even humming, unbothered by the people who were mostly mothers or becoming mothers staring at him.Some were laughing, giggling that he seemed to be an excited father. “Simon?!” He stopped on his tracks, glancing at his side where he heard that familiar voice. And how can he ever forget that voice and face when she pestered him all night before?“S-Shai…” he muttered, half-smiling.But unlike before, Shai wasn’t smiling at her like she does when she kept seducing and flirting him. for her eyes were widened at the cart he was pushing. “What the f
Simon excitedly walked towards Lucas and Eve’s apartment with the bags of things he bought for their ‘child’. He even almost cannot handle them in his arms anymore though there were still some things in his car he left. “I’ll just get it back after I bring these in,” he thought to himself, the sweet smile in his lips cannot be erased. He had always been fond of kids and cute little things so when he learned that he’s going to be an uncle soon, he was elated. He couldn’t even imagine himself being called by a child an “uncle”. Though that seemed not to happen so soon. He pressed the doorbell twice but there’s was no one opening the door. Thus, since he already knew the password, he just invited himself in along with his gifts.“Lucas? Where…”He heard people talking from the kitchen and with his smile widening even more, he went towards them only to be shocked by what he saw. “I brought us some beer. It’s tasty. Drink.” Lucas was giving Eve a can of beer! And Eve gobbl
It was eleven in the evening when Eve stopped scrolling on her Instagram after seeing all but nonsense bragging of some people she knew. Well, she just knew them and nothing else and that makes her uninterested by what’s going on in their lives. She dropped her phone that she and Lucas bought with Simon’s money. She still even remembered how Lucas shamelessly swiped Simon’s card ‘til it’s empty then give it back to him. “I need to have something to contact you,” he reasoned when she said she doesn’t need one. It had been days after her father’s men almost caught her and she was sure it won’t be long before she will be forced back again to that cold house. Yet, she still hasn’t fulfilled her goal. “I need to get pregnant as soon as possible. Before dad bring me back and force me in that damned marriage.”Eyes catching a sight of the medicine box, she reached for it and was about to open the door. Yet, someone already opened it from outside. Before her was Lucas. And it’s no
Eve’s gaze deepened on the man possessing over her. Lucas saw it. And not only did it left him unable to calm down but the feeling inside him even grew fiercer. For Eve wasn’t rejecting him. Instead, she was…As if someone who had been walking lost on the desert for so long and was so thirsty for water, Eve eagerly grabbed his nape and pulled him in. Her lips completely owned him, catching Lucas off guard. He was unable to move for a moment.However, her actions instantly turned him on that he caught up immediately. Eve’s moans were drowned inside his stomach as he gave her no chance to break away from him. He held her in her waist while supporting the back of her head. Though by doing that, it’s as if guiding her on the right way of kissing and the speed that was too fast for her.She felt her body on fire yet Lucas seemed becoming more and more fiercer that she can’t follow anymore. her head spin and all she could think of was his wet and rough lips. She can’t believe he’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?”
