“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

    Inside the car, it was dead silent. Now that Eve was reassured after seeing her son well and fine, the idea of coming back again in this place finally sinks into her mind. This city. This city was where she had her most cherished memories. The glamour of the midnight city flashed in a blur in her sight. Yet, in her mind, she was seeing a different scene. It flashes in her hazelnut eyes that made her heart race again. Her breath hitched. Her lips pursed. “Lucas Levin… will I ever meet you again?” “Mom…” “Hmm?!” startled when she felt someone crawling on her, Eve looked down and was met by a pair of dreamy-like dark eyes. His eyes often looked like this every time he was sleepy. With the urge to fight off his sleep, he kept blinking several times. it’s a tough war and he’s obviously losing. And it’s adorable. “I am sleepy. Theo’s sleepy, mom…my…” Eve smiled as she watched her son slowly fall into the lull of sleep. Extending her arms towards him,

    “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 now that you’re here, you didn’t even tell me! Eve! You’re such a b*tch friend!” Eve rolled her eyes and it set to the peacefully sleeping child beside her as she sat. Not even once was she taken aback by her child’s

    “Mommy…” “Mom-my…” “Mommy!” 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 get annoyed with her before. Well, not that one time she tried flirting with some other men in Piacere. Still, that wasn’t him being annoyed but he’s furious! Theo went down to the bed and was still w

    “I didn’t know you’re welcome in this house…” Shia glanced at Eve and continued sipping from her glass of wine. It was a wine that Eve got from Croatia. “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. 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

She accepted his offer of help and got out of the car. “I didn’t know that Shia’s friend was such an elegant and gorgeous woman. I even almost didn’t know how to take my eyes off you,” he told her in a whisper as he guided her towards the steps.

    CHAPTER 64 “Who dared to said our child is a bastard? When I am here… her son’s father…” Eve was terrified. She was filled with millions of questions and it was too many that she cannot answer either of them. 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. And indeed. It was him. The man she dreamed of seeing again thousand of times. The man she missed so much but her guilt was so strong that she dared not v

Should we go to hospital?” There was a distinct laugh far away just like those voices in Eve’s head. She was still half awake that those voices seemed to be somewhere underwaters. “You’re such a good boy, Theo. But you shouldn’t worry to that b- I mean, to you mommy. She’ll wake up soon. Maybe she’s just tired after meeting your daddy.” “My daddy? You mean my real daddy?” “Hmm! Yes. Your real daddy.” “Did you already meet my daddy, Aunt Shia?

    ‘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?”
