After Lucas
Terakhir Diperbarui:
2025-04-16 10:30:38There was a deafening crash as the tires screeched against the asphalt.
Lucas moved with lightning speed and pushed himself forward.
He threw his arms around Elena, his entire body shielding hers.
Elena gasped, clutching onto him as the car lurched again.
“Knox,” Lucas called out, his voice tight with warning.
Knox’s grip on the wheel tightened. “It looks like the car behind us is trying to knock us off the road!”
“Lose them.” He ordered.
Elena’s fingers dug into Lucas’s sleeve. “Lucas… what’s going on?”
Lucas lowered his gaze and gently stroked her hair. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
He then raised his head and looked into the mirror as he said in a chilling tone. “And Knox, If Elena so much as loses a single strand of hair, I’ll have your head.”
Large beads of sweat immediately formed on Knox&r

No one knew Lucas better than Harold.When it came to chasing his goals, Lucas had no bottom line.That was exactly why he needed him to stay rational.“I will be careful,” Lucas said, his tone steady and firm.Harold didn’t look convinced, but he didn’t argue.Instead, he poured himself a drink, the clink of ice against glass breaking the silence.“Good. Because if anything happens to Elena or the baby, it won’t just be the Walkers you’ll have to answer to.”Leaving the mansion, Lucas picked up Elena on the way back to Serenity Mansion.The drive was quiet, and Elena sat beside him, unaware of the storm brewing in the shadows.And he intended to keep it that way.She didn’t need that kind of worry gnawing at her, not now.Her only concern should be taking care of herself, staying safe, and bringing their child into the world without fear.He woul

Elena’s body froze.Her ears buzzed, and her mind turned blank.No.Lucas wouldn’t…He promised her.He said he would protect her and their baby.He said he would make everything right.How could he…Knox’s eyes were bloodshot, his face a storm of grief, regret, and self-blame.He couldn’t look at her.For so many years, he had stood in the shadows, silently protecting Lucas.He was Lucas’ sharpest blade, his guardian.But tonight…He failed.He couldn’t save the one person he had sworn to protect with his life.Knox’s body trembled as he lowered his head, unable to meet Elena’s lifeless gaze.“I’m sorry…”He knew the apology was useless.It couldn’t bring Lucas back.Knox’s heart shattered.For a man who never feared death, this was worse t

“I’m here today to announce Mr. Lucas Evans’ will.”The moment those words fell, the entire room trembled.Elena felt her blood run cold.Her already pale face lost all color.Lucas’ will…How could she accept this when she hadn’t even accepted his death?Daniel cleared his throat and continued. “After the recent attacks, Mr. Evans had a hunch that he might not make it out in the end. That’s why… he called me over to draft his will in advance.”The room fell into dead silence.Everyone’s eyes turned red.He knew.He had already sensed that something would happen…Yet, he still chose to face everything alone.Elena’s vision blurred as tears welled up, but she bit her lip hard to stop them from falling.Daniel unfolded the document, his gaze sweeping over the gathered family members before he began reading.

Helen couldn’t hold back anymore.Her heart ached for the girl who had lost the man she loved.Helen pulled Elena into her arms, her old hands trembling as she held her.Elena collapsed into her embrace, and both women cried helplessly, their sorrow echoing through the walls of the Evans estate.Lucas’ will was meant to provide security, but instead, it only deepened the wounds in everyone’s hearts.His absence felt more suffocating now.Elena’s breathing turned uneven, her chest tightening with unbearable grief.The family doctor, who had been on standby, immediately prepared for any emergency.“She needs rest,” Jane insisted, her voice firm despite the tears still glistening in her eyes.Without waiting, Jane helped her up and guided her toward her bedroom.Meanwhile, Harold gently took Helen’s hand, his grip both firm and comforting. “Come,” he murmured. &ld

Elena glanced at the card disinterestedly and continued to knit the sweater. “You mean the subsidiary card Lucas gave you? The one you gave to Mike?”“He is my son. What’s mine is his.” Isabella said righteously.Elena smiled faintly. “That’s an interesting philosophy, considering neither of you contributed to what’s mine.”“Yours?!” Isabella gasped. “That money belongs to Lucas!”“And who do you think he left it to?”Isabella couldn’t retort. “Why are you still petty? What harm is there in letting us use the card?”“Petty?” Elena repeated. “You expect me to fund your ridiculous needs while my husband isn’t even in the ground for a full year?” Her voice then took a sharp turn. “Do you know how hard Lucas worked himself to the bone for this family? What did you do for him in return?”Isab

Vince squinted at him. “What did you just say?”“You want to take down Elena Walker, right?” Mike repeated.Vince nodded.“I can help you take her down.”Stepping closer, Vince’s boots crunched against the concrete. “Why should we trust you?”Mike clenched his fists, rage flashing across his face. “Because I hate her more than you do.”Vince stared at him for a long moment before smirking. “Interesting. What exactly can you do for us?Mike inhaled sharply.His ribs ached, but he ignored it. “I still have access to her house. I know her routines, her security. If you want to get her, I can help you get past them.”The gangsters exchanged glances.They had yet to find any breakthrough, but if this chap could help them, their work would be easy.Vince turned back to Mike.He turned back to Mike. “Alright, kid.

His words slammed into Elena like a truck.A sharp pain shot through her, and tears pooled in her eyes.These were the people who killed Lucas.Her Lucas…A deep, seething hatred coiled in her gut.She desperately wanted to kill the monsters in front of her.“Don’t look at me like that, Mrs. Evans. We’re not savages. On the contrary, it was your husband who was more ruthless.”Elena gritted her teeth. “Why did you capture me?”“It’s simple. Your husband made us lose millions of dollars, so now we need your family to make up for it.The man grinned, flashing his yellow teeth as he continued. “You see, the Evans and the Walkers are the two most powerful families in the Capital. We want them to help us smuggle some goods into the country,” he said with a cruel glint in his eyes.“So, that’s your plan,” Elena said, her voice calm. &ld

Elena’s face turned pale.“Don’t overdo it, Hunter. We can’t afford any accidents before the smuggling.” Reed reminded him.“Relax,” Hunter replied coolly.He grabbed Elena’s chin, his thumb dragging across her cheekbone as he tilted her face left, then right.“Damn. What a pretty face,” he mused, his tone almost appreciative. “That b***ard Lucas really lucked out, huh?”Elena pulled away her face from his grip and glared at him. “Don’t take his name from your filthy mouth.”Hunter sneered. “Touched a nerve, did I?”Elena’s glare was colder than ice.Hunter crouched before her, bringing his face level with hers. “I don’t have a good temper, woman.” Hunter continued, his voice slow, deliberate. “So, if you dare piss me off…”A cold metal suddenly touched Elena’s belly.

Four years later.The snow-covered peaks stretched endlessly, a breathtaking expanse of white under the pale winter sun.“Again!”Ethan laughed, his bright eyes gleaming with excitement.He was bundled in a white ski suit, his tiny gloved hands gripping the ski poles.Lucas crouched beside him, adjusting the boy’s stance with practiced ease.“Feet apart, shoulders steady,” he instructed, his deep voice laced with patience. “And don’t lean too far forward, or you’ll—”Before he could finish, Ethan pushed off, wobbling slightly as he slid down the gentle slope.“—fall,” Lucas muttered, shaking his head as Ethan toppled over into the soft snow.A giggle rang through the air as Ethan flopped onto his back, arms spread wide.As Ethan grew older, his features bore a striking resemblance to Lucas, except for his gorgeous dark blue

Isabella’s lips trembled. “I—I thought—”“You thought?” Helen’s voice cracked, a bitter laugh escaping her. “No, Isabella. You chose. You chose Mike. You chose yourself. And you threw Lucas away again.”Helen’s chest rose and fell with the force of her emotions.Looking at Isabella, she felt nothing but bitter disappointment.“We never blamed you,” Helen said. “Not when you lied about your death. Not when you left your son behind to fend for himself,” she continued, her voice cracking. “And this is how you repay us?”A choked sob escaped Isabella’s lips.She reached for Helen’s hand, but Helen took a step back.“You could’ve asked for help. You could’ve told anyone. But instead, you sold out your own family. Your own grandson.”Helen looked at Isabella with eyes full of grief.“D

“I have lived long enough to witness the rise and fall of generations, but tonight… tonight, I feel truly blessed. This child is not only the blood of our Evans family but the future that will carry our legacy forward.”He turned toward Lucas and reached out his aged hands.Lucas stepped forward, carefully handing Ethan over to his great-grandfather.Harold cradled the child with surprising gentleness, his usually stern eyes softening as he looked down at the tiny face.Under the watchful eyes of the entire Evans family and the influential guests present, Harold personally opened the ancient Evans family record book, an heirloom that had documented the bloodline for centuries.With a brush dipped in ink, Harold carefully wrote down the name Ethan Lucas Evans in bold strokes.The moment the ink touched the paper, it symbolized Ethan’s official entry into the Evans family tree, a position that no one could ever challen

He nudged Elena, who carefully handed the baby over.Everyone watched as Harold’s rough hands, once used to commanding empires and instilling fear, trembled slightly as they cradled the tiny life in his arms.The moment the child settled against him, Harold’s fury melted away.Helen stepped closer, her own hands clasped over her chest as she peered down at the baby. “Oh my God, he’s so handsome.”Harold’s eyes reddened once again.This was the blood of the Evans family…“Look at him,” Harold’s voice cracked. “He’s got the same sharp brows as Lucas when he was a baby.”Lucas’ eyes softened.The little one stirred slightly, his tiny hand clenching into a fist.A faint smile spread across Harold’s face as he gently patted the baby’s chest.“From this day onward,” Harold announced, his voice filled with pride a

ACE’s face immediately turned terrifying.“Winter.” He said warningly. “You’re not allowed to joke about that.”Her heart skipped a beat.No one knew better than her how scary this man was once he got angry.Wrapping her arms around his neck, she rubbed her face against his cheek. “All right, all right. Don’t be fierce.”ACE sighed helplessly.He could make world leaders shut up with a single glance, yet before this woman, he was always at the losing end.No matter how ruthless he was outside, when it came to Winter, he had no bottom line.He let her act coquettishly and turned around. “What do you want to eat?”Winter’s eyes instantly lit up.Her hubby was so good to her.She latched onto his arm without hesitation, her voice filled with excitement as she rattled off a long list of dishes.“…”Jayden, w

Lucas only smiled.Back when he resided in Country K, Lucas had found himself entangled with the Black Vipers, a ruthless underground syndicate known for their brutal dealings in the underworld.To survive and walk out alive, Lucas went undercover as Rocky.He played his role flawlessly, climbing their ranks, gaining their trust, and dismantling their core operations.By the time he left Country K, he thought he had completely destroyed them.Yet, fate proved him wrong.Like cockroaches that thrive in darkness, they waited for the right moment to resurface.Lucas knew their weaknesses.Their hideouts and the fractures in their foundation.The cops knew it, too.That’s why they came to him, not as a suspect, but as an asset.They needed someone who could infiltrate deep, someone with a personal stake in bringing the Black Vipers to their knees.And when the authorities realized the extent of his

Jayden Luxton strode toward them, his sharp gaze sweeping over the scene.Dressed in all black, he exuded the same air of danger and authority as Lucas, but his approach wasn’t hostile.Not this time.“Everything is ready.” He said, giving him a small nod.Behind him, the hospital staff rushed forward, quickly transferring Elena onto a stretcher.As the stretcher started moving, Elena’s fingers slipped from Lucas’.She stirred slightly, her fingers weakly grasping at his sleeve before her strength gave out.The sight nearly shattered him.The stretcher was wheeled straight into the emergency room, disappearing through the doors.The woman, who had been by Elena’s side the entire time, turned to Lucas. “I’ll take care of it.”Before she could enter the operating room, Jayden’s arm shot in front of her.Wariness flickered across his face.The

Elena’s pulse quickened. “What—”“Just do it.” His tone left no room for argument.Ten minutes later, a sharp, piercing scream resounds from inside the bedroom.The guards patrolling rushed inside, and what they saw blew their minds.Elena lay on the cold, hard floor, her body curled in on itself.A dark pool of blood spread beneath her, soaking through her dress.Her face contorted in agony, sweat beading along her forehead as she gasped for air.Before her stood Hunter with his fists clenched at his side.His usually sharp gaze was unfocused, drowning in a drunken stupor.One of the guards cursed under his breath. “What the hell did you do, Hunter?!”Hunter swayed slightly, his movements sluggish. “I just wanted to… wanted to hold her hands. But she wouldn’t let me.”“The baby…” Elena rasped, her lips trembling. &l
