“Why does she keep watching Simon?! Why does those pair of pretty hazelnut eyes kept following every move he makes? Was she even drooling while staring at Simon?!”
Lucas was about to lose his temper. But what caught him off guard and threw him off his seat was what the lady suddenly uttered.
“Simon.”
“What is it?”
“Do you want to hook up with me?”
“WHATTTT?!!!!”
With horrified eyes, Simon glanced at Lucas who had now gotten up from his chair. Lucas looked as if he was indeed really to chew him up alive with sharp fangs and long claws.
Simon stepped back, shaking his head many times but Lucas was unconvinced even for a bit.
“I swear I didn’t know her before and I don’t plan to do anything with her! I also didn’t flirt with her or-”
Simon stepped back and had fallen down to the bed where Eve was sitting at. Like her, he also sat there while eyes still watching Lucas in case he attacks him.
Nervous, Simon leaned towards the girl who had no idea what’s going on and the danger she just stirred. Though he whispered, his words were enough for everyone in the room to hear.
“Miss. There’s no grudge between us so why are you trying to get me killed?”
Eve, still naïve, frowned and look at him. “What get killed? I just said I like you and want to hook up with you. don’t you find me pretty? Or aren’t you even tempted a bit?”
Simon wanted to knock himself by his own. It’s better than giving punch real hard by Lucas whose face was now indescribable.
Looking at Simon’s odd expression, then glancing at Lucas Levin, Eve realized what actually was going now.
Thus, she chortled lightly and looked up at Lucas.
“Ahh… That…I’m sorry. Was I too direct? You asked me while ago. what am I doing in here. and now I answered. I want to hook up.”
That wasn’t the actually truth and Eve wasn’t planning to tell them she wanted to get pregnant by some random guy and run away with her baby.
And what she said actually seemed like a strange thing that the two men’s expression was odd. Lucas stayed tensed yet unmoving while Simon was devastated and terrified.
“Was that something foolish?” she asked in an uncertain expression.
Simon heaved a deep sigh when Lucas spoke in a firm, cold tone. He seemed mad.
“I told you. You don’t know how things work in here.”
Eve frowned, hating that he kept telling her she’s actually ignorant of the actual world out here. indeed. Though her father restrained her with all he got, he had protected her with these kinds of malicious worldly life.
And it wasn’t actually a good idea to her.
Getting out of the bed, standing up with her bare foot on the floor since her stilettos were gone, she lifted her intent gaze towards Lucas. Lucas moved his face a little away from her though he didn’t actually step away.
“So why don’t you teach me how things work in here?”
Simon was chocked by his own saliva. The one who’s actually suffering in this situation was him.
And listening to this odd girl’s words were both pushing him to death granted by Lucas and death from surprise. he had never met a woman acting like this to his friend.
Though every girl flirt with them, no one flirts the way this girl does. And also, not simultaneously flirting at them both.
And was she even aware of it? and was she even aware that the things that occur in this place besides drinking were all women and s*x?
“Get out.”
Simon knew it was directed to him and he run away for his life. When he was out of the door, he was panting and was out of breath.
“She’s scary! She’s really scary! She almost made me lose my life!” he ranted, shaking his head and walked away as fast as he could. He didn’t want to risk his life anymore.
Now that they’re again alone in the room, standing in front of each other with too little distance, Eve realized what kind of feeling this man was emitting.
And with her nervous heart, she stepped back away from him. yet, to her surprise, her waist was caught; pulling her back near to him.
And she wasn’t just standing near him anymore. instead, her body was leaning to his whole hard and muscled torso.
Lucas Levin bent forward, making their faces almost at the same level that Eve felt his warm breath.
“You asked my friend to hook up with you but why don’t you consider me too? Don’t I meet your standards?”
Eve gasped as her body tensed. Her lips parted to spoke, as her stares quivered at him, yet she found no words to say. And before she knew it, she felt her body losing balance when he pushed her towards the bed without warning. He pinned both her arms above her head, pressed his body on her that she couldn’t move at all.
Her mouth gaped for a word to tell him but again, she failed. And the culprit was none other those pair of intense hot stares that kept her at constant tensed body.
She gasped when he leaned towards her, kissing her chin instead of her lips. And it was the most naughty and taunting thing ever done to her.
She never felt impatience before. Nor did she felt liking something but was still greedy for more.
Her mind was totally blank and almost had forgotten what her initial goal was. Snapped by that thought, she considered Lucas in it for a moment.
Was he the guy? Can he be the guy who will father her child?
Yet, his kisses intensified, traveling down to the curve of her neck that her instant reaction was to moan and want to tug his hair or just hold into anything or something.
But he bounded her unmoved.
His kisses were rough, hot and…possessive.
And Eve in an instant knew she needed to run. But then, why was she drawn to him instead?
Lucas had many experiences with women but he never had met a woman who would tremble and react so sensitively with every little kiss he makes. That’s when he realized who she was.
She’s just a naïve girl who wanted to taste the dark pleasure and desires of this world. and if that’s what she wanted, he’ll gladly provide it to her.
Yet… he won’t do it voluntarily. He’ll make her beg for it.
Eve was breathing hard and fast which was caused by his wild kisses and almost, she found herself intoxicated by it when he suddenly stopped.
Lucas sat up and released her, his deep eyes staring through her.
“Find me here if you change your mind of wanting me instead of my friend. But other than that, you should never see any other men besides me.”
Lucas left. He left her stunned and blushing as she lays on the bed.
The experience he gave her was new and thrilling, dangerous yet addictive.
Eve touched her chin, traveling down to her neck which his lips travelled through. Then, she realized her neck was bare.
He just stole her necklace and she didn’t even notice it!
Horrified, she picked herself up and run out of the room even without her stilettos.
Lucas Levin definitely won’t be the guy she’ll pick as her child’s father. He’s way too possessive and crafty!
CHAPTER 8 “…but why don’t you consider me too?” “Find me here…” “You shall meet no man other than me…” Listening those words repeatedly inside her mind, Eve heart suddenly started beating faster than usual. She felt nervous. Like a girl who just received a smile from her crush. From staring at the ceiling, she tilted to her side. Where she saw the dilapidated buildings that were packed with people. It was tall yet old, and unlike the clean and glass-walled buildings she often saw when she was still in her dad’s house. Unlike their beautiful and tall mansion that could overlook the whole city, all she could see from this rugged and small room she stays at were old and unorganized buildings. And only people who really have nothing could endure to stay in such place. She sat up, looking around her room. It was silent. Cold. And felt empty. “But how different is this from our mansion? I cannot even call it my home…” With the bitter thought
“IT’S YOU, LUCAS LEVIN! YOU DID IT DID YOU?!” He smirked at her. To Eve’s frustration, he even stood up proudly and snaked his muscled arms around her waist. And did he just haul her so effortlessly like that?! Like as if she’s his property?! Leaning down to her ear level, Lucas whispered seductively. “So, what if I did? will you consider me now?” Eve gritted her teeth and decided to keep her cool. “Not unless I fall for you. Too bad, you’re someone who won’t ever catch my attention.” After seeing his smirking face turning sour, Eve decided to turned around when she felt a winner in an unprecedented game between them. Yet, to her surprise, someone pushed her back, causing her to entirely threw herself on the person behind her. Her back bumped into Lucas’s body, feeling every muscle his chest and abdomen had. And she almost forgot to breathe with the impact. “Where are you going Eve Girlie?! I didn’t know you were acquainted with these hot guys here.
Eve was losing breath. Lucas was holding her both on her waist and she never expected his light touch to be so warm. No. it was so hot that she felt like being burned under his touch. When she still kept her arms straight and frozen at her side, his hands brushed up towards her shoulder and cascades down to her wrist. Again, she let out a little gasp at the tension building up inside her body. Lucas guided her hand and led it up to his nape, suggesting her to wrap it around it. and so, she willingly obeyed. The music was slow but sensual, hot and provoking. He was also too close to her that she almost thought he’s just making things up to molest or make a move towards her. yet, when she looked around, everyone was doing the same. Some were even worse, almost sticking their bodies too close to the other that it didn’t felt right to watch them. Some were even kissing that she instantly looked away. And her eyes were caught by a pair of intense eyes grinning
Shia was having a blast with Simon though most of the time, it was one-sided. Only she was the one who seemed to be enjoying herself since Simon was really not on mood. Still, it was a good thing he still accompanied her drinking. “What music do you like? I like classical ones. You?” At first, Simon was uninterested in all her questions before that he just compulsorily replied. Yet, what she said right now gained his attention. His brows cocked upwards as he looked at her from head to toe. “Are you sure you like classical music? You?” Shia laughed with a pretense sulking. “Hey! are you mocking me? I may not look like it but I really do love classical ones. For me, it’s such calming haven I would trade anything with.” “Then, why are you here
“If you don’t want me to tie you up and send you to your father, pack your things and move from here.” Lucas glanced at his friend and laughed. “I know you can not do that to me, Sim. You know yourself how much you love me.” At his joke, Simon sighed in relief as he threw him a key and a door number. “So please stop exploiting my love and kindness towards you, will you? I still have somewhere to go. I’ll visit you in your new place soon.” “Where are you going?” Lucas asked curiously, making Simon stopped. He looked back. “I’m going to send someone home.” Lucas didn’t ask for more though upon seeing his friend gone, he wondered to himself. “Was it finally a woman?&rdqu
Eve was again back in Piacere. Though this time, she was alone. She called Shia if she could come but she told her she would definitely come yet later than they usually do. So, at the moment, she was alone in the same spot of sofa where they both hang out. Simply taking small sips of the bitter yet sweet cocktail she ordered. She was watching the people on the dancefloor though her mind was far from the place. “I needed to get pregnant as soon as possible,” she thought. Her father would definitely find her in a month or two or probably even earlier than that. So, before that happens and before her fate will be dictated by them, she should have a baby and escape that marriage. But of all the men out here, who will she chose to get her pregnant? Closing here eyes, she whispered silently to herself. “Who
“WOAHHHH! WAHHHHH! I AM FREEEEEEE!” Lucas felt like his eardrums were going to burst any second from now because of Eve’s yelling behind him. She was loud. Unrestricted. Free. Cheerful. And he loves it. He loved it more that he was the one who caused her to be in this euphoria. “Make it faster!” Eve yelled as she leaned into his ear to make sure he heard it clearly. Grinning, Lucas replied back at her. “Then hold tight.” He felt Eve’s arms tightening around his waist that it seemed like she was hugging him from behind. Grinning wide, he accelerated the motorcycle, driving in a flash-like motion. As if, this road belonged to them. An hour after midnight, vehicles barely uses this road along the coast. Thus, Lucas picked this area to bring Ev
CHAPTER 15 “Sh*t!” “W-why?!” Eve blurted out in surprised when Lucas suddenly pulled her into a run. Lucas didn’t glance at her as they exited the restaurant, replying at her. “I will explain later but just run!” “But! Ahhhhh! Who the hell are they?! AND WHY AM I EVEN RUNNING TOGETEHR WITH YOU!?” Lucas and Eve looked at each other, Eve’s eyes widening in fear. For after several minutes of continuous running like as if running from death, they came faced to face with a tall brick of wall. They were cornered. “You really think you can run away from me, Levin. I already swore last time, didn’t I? I will take revenge on you!” Hearing that voice, Lucas immediately stepped in front of Eve: hi
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?”
