“I’m pregnant.” In a small and almost whispering voice, Eve blurted out. She need not to check again whether she just read the results wrong to make sure she wasn’t mistaken. That it wasn’t two lines but only one on the small screen. She felt it in herself too. her body was slowly changing despite it being only two weeks since something happened between him and Lucas. That time when this life inside her womb may have been created… With her cold and trembling hand, she dropped the pregnancy kit and caressed her lower belly. Inside her was a life. A life she and Lucas created. Finally, her goal was fulfilled. She was pregnant. Now, she had a reason to cancel the wedding with the Heirta Family. But why wasn’t she feel fulfilled or satisfied? Instead, it seemed as if the world had fallen towards her. what’s with the cold feet and sadness in her eyes? Isn’t this what she wanted? Perhaps, it is. Perhaps, she was just regretful. For since she wa
Eve’s phone was ringing in the middle of the night. Carefully removing Lucas’s arms around her, she got up from bed and picked up her clothes. She was naked as she run to the bathroom with her still vibrating phone in her other hand. With her ballet dance that turned seductive later, how can it not end up in a wild ravenous on the bed? *** Watching Eve dance with grace, Lucas cannot help but smile with his dreamy eyes. perhaps, the sunset rays were there to create a heavenly scene as Eve danced since it actually complimented the dance very much. Eve turned and swirled, like a swan above the waters. She leaped through the air, and it was as if the swan just learned to fly. And now, she excitedly soared through the skies. It would have been better if he was the one playing the piano. Thus, to soothe himself, he joined her dance. On where she was about to land after leaping across, he stood there. he waited for her. Maybe, Eve actually trusted him so m
“So, what are you planning to do right now?” Shia already calmed when she spoke those words. However, the irritation in her tone was still evident after she learned the truth. It’s as if, learning that Eve was pregnant was far way worse than the fact that Lucas was a criminal. Eve leaned on the sink for support, attempting to clear her mind to think of a reply to Shia’s question. Indeed, ‘what must she do next?’ Before this, she kept making excuses and dragging her plan to leave Lucas. However, with this justifiable excuse she just learned, how can she drag it more? A deep and long sigh escaped her lips. it was still trembling even as she spoke. “I will leave him-” “Oh God! Thank you for taking away this b*tch’s foolishness!” Shia commented sarcastically on the other line. It made Eve purse her lips but she didn’t complain about it anymore. “But before that, I needed a day. Shia.” Eve’s tone was pleading as she spoke the next words. “Can you help me with
“I’m already here. Won’t you, two, give me a little respect?” Lucas and Eve: “…” “Hello?! There’s a person here too in case you don’t know?” Annoyed, Simon waved his hand to catch the attention of the two who still pretended oblivious to his presence despite his blatant display of disgust. When he came in, he had as if seen the most horrifying scene in his life when he witnessed them flirting with each other. He wasn’t even aware that his friend could say such sweet and loving words such as ‘our child’ and so on. It was just beyond his expectation. And when he voiced out his complaint, none of them even paid an attention to him. Instead of being embarrassed that someone sees them flirting, they continued and ignored him. And that totally caught him off guard! He was so humiliated! “I get it. I’m single! I don’t have a lover like you two. But that doesn’t mean you need to slap that face directly on m face!” he protested inside his thought.
Eve was wearing a mermaid dress that sparkles under the rays of the midnight moon. This was the first time that Lucas saw her in a formal dress. And he found it hard to breathe normally as he stares at her beauty. Tonight is the moment he saw her the most beautiful. And when a smile broke on her cherry lips, he couldn’t contain himself anymore. In long strides, he crossed the distance that separates them and pulled her in his arms. “I had long been waiting for you-” Eve’s words were cut off by Lucas’s sudden action. She didn’t expect that when she was within his reach, he would immediately grab her shoulders and jail her in his embrace. She was stunned by his hard breaths. “L-Lucas… Why are you…” Again, he cut her off. Pulling her even tighter, Lucas told her. “Don’t move. Don’t push me away, baby. Let us stay for a while like this. I want to feel you…” His voice sounded hoarse but it only made him sound even sexier. As if, he’s trying to
As soon as Lucas was gone along with the police, Eve burst into a loud sob. she gripped on the cold metal railings before her, as she felt her strength being drained away from her. A whimper even escaped her lips as her abdomen suddenly caused excruciating pain, making her clutch at her tummy. “Ahh!” she groaned in pain, gritting her teeth to endure it. but she just can’t. From a distance, she heard an approaching footstep and someone calling her name. “Eve! Are you ok?!” Shia was panicking when she was near her, immediately holding her arms for assistance. Eve glanced at her, nodding weakly as she forced a smile. but even smiling was hard. “I’m fine,” she grumbled. However, Shia’s worried expression didn’t fade. It only even worsens as she looked down at her dress. In a croaky voice, she says, “Eve. I don’t think you’re fine. Your dress…” Eve looked at her dress that Shia was staring at with widened eyes. and like her, her eyes froze too
Six years later… Vis, Croatia. “Eve, it's really a shame you aren’t a model. You’ve got the perfect curves and looks but…” Edward shook his head and sat beside her. The disappointment in his face was always there every time he talks about her being a perfect model. Yet, she always rejects him. Grinning, Eve got up and sat as she turned her back to him. He immediately understood what she wanted thus, he started to wipe off the sand that stick to her skin. And though he did it willingly, there was a frown on his face. “This is why I don’t like you lying on the beach almost naked. You’re ruining your skin for god’s sake!” Eve chuckled at his remark, slightly glancing at him just enough to see his knotted brows. “You know what, if I didn’t know you, I would have called you a pervert. Aren’t you aware that you always kept staring at my body every time I wear a bikini?” Just then, he rolled his eyes but still smiled guiltily. He knew what she said wa
“Are you sure you’re going back?” Edward sunk on the bed where he sat, intently observing Eve’s expression. And all he could see was anger and determination. He knew what she hated the most was being dictated on what to do and being forced to do something she doesn’t like. And it’s what he admired about her. In fact, he also envied her for it. Since not everyone was brave enough to fight for what she wanted. As she was busy packing the essential things she needed, Eve didn’t even give him a glance. Still, she answered him. “I must. I must go back. Theo is there. Without him, I couldn’t stay here anymore.” “But you might see him if you go back.” His words halted Eve. With her eyes squinting, she lifted her head to him. “Him?” “Yes. Him. I mean…” Edward paused and met her eyes. Eyes that were starting to tremble. “Lucas Levin.” He took note of how she crumpled her fist although she might not have noticed it herself. Eve looked away and 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. 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?

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?”
