THE STOLEN BRIDE (BAD BOYS SERIES) 62: DEJA VU
“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

It was the annual Amare Gala where bachelors and bachelorettes in the city gathers every autumn. It had always been anticipated by many young people who wished to meet their ‘the one’ through this party. however, not everyone can attend it. With your social standing, reputation, connections and wealth, only when you’re one of the best that you can get chosen to be a part of it. And Eve was attending it in Shia’s name. It only means that Shia was also one of the best women in the city. The limousine’s door opened and Eve waited for a moment before stepping out. That’s when a man’s hand was placed in front of her. Looking up, her eyes were met by a pair of cool blue eyes that was almost stunned by her appearance. 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

CHAPTER 65 “Mommy!” “Mommy!” “Mommmyyyy!” “Aunt Shia, do you think my mommy is ok? She is sleeping a lot! 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 kind of daddy is he?” “Well… I don’t know if he’s a good daddy. But he’s handsome as fu- I mean, he’s handsome just as you are. Just that I heard he’s such a scary man and he’s super wealthy too.” “But my mommy said my dad is the most loving and caring man she ever met. You must be lying, Aunt Shia!” “She said that?” “Hmm. No. But I heard mommy talking of it whe
Last Updated : 2023-03-09THE STOLEN BRIDE (BAD BOYS SERIES) 66: I'M NOT GOING TO MARRY LUCAS
Besides Piacere, Eve never entered another bar in her life. During her stay in Croatia, though she frequently drinks, she mostly drinks with Edward in their home when Theo sleeps. However, now, she met up with Shia in a bar where they could talk by themselves. “You mean, it is proven he’s not guilty?” Shia nodded at her question and sipped a little from the cocktail they were drinking. And it only made Eve’s shoulders fell down. “Yes girl. Since Lucas was detained, he didn’t stop fighting for his case until three years later, he proved that he was innocent. I even grilled Simon for this and I learned that it was just a set-up. Y’know, men stuffs. Maybe his enemies or his family’s enemies wanted to take revenge on him so they framed him of that girl’s murder.” Eve heaved a deep sigh as she swallowed. Yet, even swallowing was hard. Shia looked at her with curiosity when she gestured the waiter to come. “Hard drink please,” she told him that made Shia want to

After convincing Peter for like decades, Eve was finally standing at the doorway of Piacere. And as she stood before the familiar metal door, she cannot help but have a hard time breathing. “Aren’t you going in, ma’am?” asked the huge guard who seemed to recognize her immediately with the way his eyes changed. Eve bit her lip and shook her head. “No. I’m going in,” she said and pushed the door open. Indeed, nothing had changed in Piacere. The dancing crowd of people are still there, wild and free just as she was years ago. The sweet yet bitter scent of liquor still floats in the air but something seems amiss. The scent of cigarette. Back then, she remembered it so clearly since she was always been suffocated by it. Yet, why does it seem like no one was using cigar now? Was it banned? She first went to the counter where she recognized the person in there. Even the bartender was still the same. He still had this gentle smile though when he mixed the drinks,

CHAPTER 68 “Let me go! Lucas! Stop!” Eve flinched from his grip, punching his back with all the strength left in her. But she knew, it was nothing compared to his. She thought that he would bring her out of Piacere but she was wrong. They entered an elevator that led them up the third floor, where she remembered he brought her when she was drugged back then. They passed by several rooms, until he stopped in the one at the end and walked in. She waited for him to bring her down which he did. Yet, Eve was too drunk to stay on her own feet without falling. She was about to fall when Lucas grabbed her arm, preventing her from diving at his feet. “Now, hit me.” His tone was cold and it was not hard to recognize the anger in his tone. When she lifted her eyes up at him, she saw how dark his eyes were. Those beautiful eyes were only that dark when he’s either horny or angry. And she bet it’s the latter. Eve clench her fist and though she didn’t want t
Last Updated : 2023-03-12THE STOLEN BRIDE (BAD BOYS SERIES) 69: SHE LEFT AGAIN
Lucas drove Eve to her home but it wasn’t the first time. because the first time was when she first met him when she was back in the city. That time she realized who he actually was. As the midnight drew deeper, so thus the silence between the two. Eve remembered that before, even the silence between them was comfortable. Yet now, it was filled with an unknown tension that it any second might break. “You never said who you really are. That you’re an Heirta,” Eve commented in a soft voice, making Lucas glance at her. Yet, there was a grin curling up in his lips as he replied, “why? If I told you that I am, won’t you ever leave me back then?” Eve saw how he clenched his jaw and how he tightened his grip on the steering wheel as he uttered those words. Even his eyes were obviously blaming her. but what made her unable to keep staring at him was how his eyes reflected pain. Was he that hurt with what she did in the past? Did he really love her that much?

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.

“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

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?”
