Sorrowful yet beautiful eyes brimming with tears stared at Lucas and the familiarity of him with it brought him the same amount of pain it held. At first, he was angry. Indeed, he’s been madly furious of the impatient waiting he spent for her. however, now that she was standing right before him, he couldn’t utter even a single complaint or scolding. He was supposed to reprimand her. or even punish her for making him anxiously wait. Yet, how could he do that when she showed up at his door, drenched not only in the cold rain but also in tears? When her eyes held overwhelming pain and melancholia he never expected her to show to him? Immediately, without even him noticing, his dark expression softened. “Lucas…” Eve muttered, almost whimpering as she choked up with her own tears. She immediately run into his arms that Lucas opened for her, sensing she needed it. she was engulfed in a warm and protective embrace, where she felt the safest and warmed. Her
Eve really loves to sleep. and she does sleep a lot. If there’s one thing that Lucas learned about her when they lived together, that’s it. well, besides the fact that she cannot cook, of course. From one in the morning after she came home, she had slept straight until noon. The rain hadn’t stopped since, and it was reported that a typhoon was coming. With gray clouds and pouring rain, Eve woke up. She immediately felt her eyes stinging. It was also sore. And she need not to mention anymore what caused it. She was about to get up but suddenly realized she couldn’t. For she was wrapped around in a locking embrace. It was Lucas. And by the dark circles visible under his eyes, she could tell that it wasn’t long since he slept. Probably, he even barely slept since last night. ‘Did he take care of me since I came home? That he even cannot sleep…’ That question surprised Eve, herself. for she didn’t realize calling this place a home. Not even in her own father’
Lucas had long desired Eve. But besides desire, there’s something more he felt towards her that made him patiently wait for her until now. Though a month wasn’t long enough for others, for Lucas, it was a lifetime. He had never waited for a woman like this before. Since getting anyone can be as easy as snapping a finger. In one second, women he wanted would serve themselves to him. run towards him. But how could those other women compare to Eve? And that was also the reason why he had already prepared, though unconsciously, to wait for her. until finally, she’d fall for him too. So, when Lucas heard what Eve just said, he was totally caught off guard. Though it was torturous, he had been suppressing his feelings and desire for her. but that didn’t mean he won’t stop until she finally gave in. just that, he didn’t expect that that day would be today. His raven black eyes bore into her through the mirror. He stared at her face. waiting for anything from her
Eve was out of breath. Her face was feverish and blushing hard. “Stop… Stop…” she demanded from Lucas. But he wasn’t listening to her. instead, his motion even became more intense: he was getting naughtier! She grabbed his hair and tugged it. however, with the pleasure he was giving her body, she couldn’t determine exactly what she wanted. will she pull him away from her? or push his head even deeper to taste her completely? Without her even knowing, she already spread her legs for him. she was also dripping wet! Eve couldn’t take it anymore. her heart might burst any second from now. If Lucas won’t stop on what he’s doing to her body right now, she will really lose her mind! “No. S-stop! Stop…” If she was demanding before, right now, her tone was evident of pleading. She’s begging him. And Lucas listens to it. Slowly, he stops playing with her down there. he lifted his face up, and when he did, Eve almost thought it was a pity. Her body ached for him. but she knows he had
Eve almost hated the thought of opening her eyes. Every inch of her body screams pain. And how can it not to when Lucas had made sure to own her completely, sucking her dry? She cannot believe he’s such a beast! He probably never even thought of stopping not unless she cannot move completely. Struggling to open her eyes after being tickled by hot breathing near her face, Eve was stunned. If she hated opening her eyes a while ago, now she regretted not doing it earlier. Since if she didn’t, she must have missed this beautiful scene. Beside her, cocooning in the bed, was Lucas. His arms like usual were securely wrapped around her, either protecting her or being possessive of her. he was in his most serene state as if, he wasn’t a bit exhausted from last night’s escapade. “How unfair! He totally enjoyed last night, did he? For him to have a smile even in his sleep…” With that thought, Eve sneered. Yet, she cannot help caressing Lucas’ face. His thick brows. His long lashes tha
Though Lucas didn’t insist on helping her bathe, Eve wasn’t able to evade his genuine help the next attempt. He’s been telling her it was dangerous for her in case she slips but when she threatened him of ignoring him, he gave up. But the when she was finished and she needed to put on clothes. “I really don’t need you to-” “But I do.” Lucas cut her off. He halted walking and stared at her directly in the eyes. There was some kind of seriousness in his dark stares that hinted he was taking no protest from her. and surprisingly, she kept yielding to him. “I don’t need to do it but I want to do these simple things for you, Eve. However small it is, if it’s for you, I’ll gladly be your slave. Now, will you let me?” ‘I don’t you to be my slave!’ Eve wanted to yell at his face but the gentleness in his gaze made her tongue-tied. Like a child, she nodded. “Fine.” Lucas smiled and continue walking, carrying the lady wrapped in a towel carefully. He put her down on the bed. Eve wa
It was awkward the dining area. Though that awkwardness will only be felt by Simon later than the two couple who totally didn’t expect his arrival. Lucas was even more frustrated since he prepared these foods for Eve. Yet, right now, it seemed as if, his hateful friend was about to gobble it all. “D-do…do you want more?” Eve asked Simon, who’s plate was already empty from the Italian Ravioli. Excited by her offer, Simon’s eyes glimmered like a star when Eve was about to push her own plate of it towards him. It’s not every day that he tasted Lucas’ food. Though he cooks for himself, he doesn’t usually cook an extra for him. So ungrateful of him after he fulfilled every wish and needs he have! “Thank you, Eve! You’re really the best sister-in-law!” He reached for the plate. He was about to move it in front of him when another hand reached for it. Simon glared at the man and for once, he felt competing with Lucas. Eve, in the other hand, could not believe these two grown men
The night sky was beautiful after the rain. Without the obscuring of the gray clouds, the stars twinkled brightly. From the horizon, the moon also was peeking and was excited to shine on the world. Eve was on the balcony in her room. From here, she could peacefully watch the beautiful night dawning upon her sight. The backyard of this house was a forest and it was only now that she discovered it. Thus, when the wind blew, it was colder than she expected. She was even wearing just a thin piece of silk nightgown that Lucas had chosen for her this morning. Shivering a little, she gasped when she was encircled by a warm pair of arms. It was tight and protective. Yet was also possessive. Lucas rested his chin on the hollow of her neck, taking in the sweet scent that only this woman possess. Oh, how he was addicted to it! Simon just left after a few drinks. And immediately, he went to find her in the room. Yet, it was just silent and the lights weren’t even turn
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.

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?”
