“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?”

“You just said what?!”

Shia butted in from behind, and when Eve turned to her, she saw her holding a tray of foods. She probably got it from their kitchen.

“Davidson Academy?” eve repeated, wondering why Shia looked so surprised.

“You mean Theo will study there?”

Eve nodded and raised a brow. “Yes. Is something wrong with this school?”

    “I never expected to meet you here.” Eve took a sip of the ice tea Faye ordered for here and eyed her observingly. Unlike before, Faye looked rather humble which was the opposite of what she was years ago. When Eve and her was still in the same class, she was always arrogant and mean. Especially towards her. Still, the competitiveness in her eyes was still there. Faye was never a bad girl to begin with. She was kind to others. Perhaps, its her desire to be better than Eve in ballet that made her become mean towards her. “Yeah, me too.” Faye replied shortly, somewhat embarrassed. “If you don’t mind, can I ask you something?” Faye met Eve’s eyes intently and a smile curled in her lips. “You wanted to ask what happened to me after you give up the opportunity to be an international ballet dancer to me?” Eve paused. “I didn’t give it up to you-” Faye laughed softly but there was no hint of anger in her tone. “I know you purposely jumped in the wrong

    “Dad?” The man, whom the caller mentioned, turned around and Eve almost slapped her head because of foolishness. Because instead of the man she thought it was, her father was there carrying Theo. “Mommyyyy!” Theo shrieked excitedly as she flinched out of his grandfather’s arms and run towards his mother. Eve stared down at her son who was hugging her legs. Then to her father who was now walking along with the school guard. ‘What are you even thinking, Eve Rizzo? Did you just thought that Lucas would come and see Theo?’ “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 an

    “You know what, you’re really confusing.” Eve stared at Shia who was swinging her legs at the side of the chair. She had her feet hanging on one side while leaning back on the other. Unlike her, she wasn’t that much drunk. Shia continued, “you already let him kissed you. And you kissed him too! You even thought of offering your body to him. But why can’t you let him marry you?! I know you still love him, Eve! Why?!” She was really so drunk. So drunk that she cannot stop blurting just anything. It had been a week already since she last saw Lucas. She thought she might see him. But he never appeared before her anymore. She missed him. Missed him harder than those five years before. “Right. Why can’t I?” she asked herself too, standing up with a bottle of beer in

    CHAPTER 75 “One!” With Eve’s loud mention of one, every dancer went back in practicing to the figure one. Ever since Eve became their mentor, practices always become a torture. No wonder, she was able to train ballet dancers to be one of the finest in the world. It’s because of her strictness and perfectionism. Every time someone makes a mistake, everyone along with her goes back to the first figure of the dance. So, when they heard her saying the word, ‘one’, everyone grunts. “Music! On!” The music, alongside with the dancers, started. There was a smile in Eve’s lips as she watched them being in sync with the rhythm. Unintentionally, she was even tapping with her left foot when she heard her phone vibrating.

    CHAPTER 76 “You really said that, Theo?!” “Hmm!” Theo nodded innocently, admitting his own crime without guilt. Which only led to Shia laughing frantically that she laughed so hard. She was clutching her stomach. “Yes! He did. That little boy did!” Eve snapped with a pout, staring at her son with jokingly angry eyes. This made the poor boy confused that he looked at his mother, then to his laughing Aunt Shia. When Shia calmed down a bit to speak, she held Theo’s arm and gently tugged it. “Theo. Didn’t you know? You just put your mommy in great danger!” “Huh? Mommy?” worried, Theo looked at his mother and when he saw her frowning, tears started to fall from his eyes. He was crying silently, like he always does and went near

    Women’s heads naturally turned to the charismatic man who just entered the café. He was tall and handsome, even sexier in his white long sleeve polo after he took off his navy suit. Yet, his attention solely belonged to one person inside the café. Lucas paused for a moment after he saw her. he was stunned by the sight of her, and momentarily forgotten what he came here for. With long strides and pursed lips, he reached her table. “Y-you’re here…” Eve stuttered, surprised when she saw him. Lucas didn’t reply. He just pulled the chair across her, and sat like a king. His legs were crossed and his eyes was on her. “I ordered us a black coffee,” Eve added and pushed the demitasse towards him. Lucas’s eyes fell on the cup being pushed by a white slender finger. And his brows furrowed when he noticed how Eve flinched. How she gets burned by such a simple cup of coffee?! How clumsy she was! “Why would you think I wanted to order an

    CHAPTER 78 It’s Friday. And Eve was more nervous than Theo. she didn’t even slept well last night that it was so obvious by how there were visible dark lines under her eyes. “Mommy. Are you trying to look like panda?” Theo asked early in the morning. He was even surprised that his mom woke up earlier than him. In usual times, it’s him who always woke her up. Like an alarm clock. He cupped both her cheeks and frowned. “I know pandas look cute. But mommy is not a panda.” Giggling although she wasn’t in the mood to laugh, she pinches Theo’s little nose. “Are you saying that mommy is not cute anymore?” “Nah! I think mommy is the best!” “You know what, you two should just prepare instead. You’ll be late if you still keep on.” Rolling her eyes, Shia pulled Theo and led him to his seat in the dining. He had a separate chair which is taller than the rest since he cannot reach the table with his small stature. It was customized by his grandfather which surpri

Not just now but even in the three other games before this. back then, Theo didn’t even played with other kids every time she went with him in parks. She thought it might be because he was advanced than kids of huis age, thus she don’t play like usual kids. But she was wrong. With Lucas, he participated in all activities while laughing and giggling. “Looking at them, no one can really deny that they’re father and son.” Eve nodded and smiled at Shia. She couldn’t even take her eyes off Theo who wasd already in Lucas’s back. Although she already r

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.

    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

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.
