“Da…. Daddy?”. Zach's voice was weak when he called Lucian. He tried to stand up but fell on the floor because of the chain that was used to bind his legs. “Zach! Zeke!”. Anya shouted as soon as she entered the building. Without hesitation, she ran to their side. The four guys continuously groaned in pain while holding their injured legs, which were bleeding badly. Liliana fell to her knees in panic. She couldn't stop staring at Lucian and Asher, who had an intimidating aura. They were also staring at her with piercing eyes and dark faces as if they were ready to devour her completely. She was unable to utter a single word. “Are you two okay?!”. Anya was panicking as she asked. She quickly dragged Zach to her side, before she turned to face Zeke. Zeke was lying on the floor. His bent knees were almost touching his chest. Seeing that Zeke wasn't moving, Anya felt the time around her stop. “H- He- is he alright?”. She asked, before she left Zach and carried Zeke instead. Whe
“Lu- Lucian! He has the same blood group!”. Anya exclaimed as she held Asher's shoulders. “I have to get Lucian here immediately! I don't care if he's my enemy. I must save my son!”. She declared. “Calm down, sis. I'll go get him here myself”. Asher assured her. Although Asher hated the fact that Lucian was the only solution they had now, he still had no other choice but to bring him here fast, since Zeke's life was on the line. He added, “Why don't you look after Zach? I'll be back as fast as I can”. “Bu- But”. She tried to say something, but didn't know what to say. It was as if her mind went blank like paper. “Don't worry about me, Anya. I got this”. Asher assured her once more with a certain gaze, before he gave Zach to her and left in a hurry. “Please, hurry. Zeke is counting on you”. She pleaded. Her voice wasn't that loud nor was it too low. To her, it was more like she forced herself to say something. ‘Sure’. Asher replied to Anya in his mind, because he clearly he
Many minutes had passed and no news from the emergency room. Anya was insecure and restless. She couldn't even bear to close her eyes, even though her eyes were strangely feeling really sleepy and tired. On the other hand, Zach had already fallen asleep in Anya’s arms because of the trauma he had newly experienced today, thanks to Liliana. “Oh, you're back already, brother?”. She asked, after seeing that Asher was walking toward her. “You don't look so good, Anya. Your face is pale. And your eyes, they're tedious”. Asher said to her after he arrived at her side. “Really? I didn't even notice any of these”. She rubbed her face with her palm as she admitted. Staring at Zach, who was asleep in Anya's arms, Asher suggested, by saying, “Why don't you give him to me?”. “That's right. I didn't see that son of-. I mean, I didn't see Lucian. I'm sorry, Anya”. He apologised. “Oh. Don't worry about that, Asher. Lucian is already inside the emergency ward with Zeke. He arrived the min
Anya’s mouth widened in disbelief. She had already entered the VIP ward when she heard what Zeke had just called Lucian. Anya pointed her index finger at Lucian and asked Zeke, “Di- did I just hear you call him ‘father’? Or are my ears deceiving me?”. She couldn't believe the words her ears had just heard. And most especially, she couldn't believe that the words came out of Zeke’s lips! Zeke didn't say anything for a while. He simply stared at Lucian, before staring at Anya, who was still pointing her index finger at Lucian. Zeke finally said something, “He agreed to apologise to you, mom. He also agreed to be punished. According to my research, it's really rare to see someone like my father apologise to anyone. So after I get better, I'll retrieve this ward CCTV footage”. Anya was even more confused after listening to Zeke’s explanation. She couldn't understand him at all! It was as if Zeke's words entered her right ear and came out of her left ear. “Tell me the truth, Zeke.
“Why hasn't Lucian come here with the twins? Why hasn't he brought them here? I mean, if he couldn't bring the twins to us by himself, he could have at least asked Mrs Hannah to do it for him. I just want to spend a day or two with my grandchildren. Is that wrong of me?”. Larisa asked, while checking the time on her phone. “Calm down, darling. You'll have a fever if your temperature rises”. Gideon said to her, but she wasn't calming down at all. The same goes for Mrs Griswold, who was also patiently waiting for the twins to arrive. “Where did Lucian possibly take the twins to? Don't tell me-”. Larisa gasped in disbelief, before she added, “Did Mrs Hannah lie to me? That would make a lot of sense because she was sweating when we visited. Maybe the twins weren't with Lucian after all. Or maybe Anya took them away”. “Don't get overboard with your imaginations, darling. Previously, didn't you say Mrs Hannah would never lie to you?”. Gideon asked. “That's it! I've had enough of this
“Do you think we should be worried about our boss?”. Mike asked James, because Lucian was not yet back from where he had been. And the time was already 5pm in the evening. “I don't think so, Mike. He's not a little kid, so why should we be worried about him? I'm going home”. James announced, before he left Mike's side and went out of the office. But after he arrived outside, Mike grabbed his arm and stopped him. “You're going to leave just like that?”. Mike asked. “Why not? Have you already forgotten the kind of person our boss is?” James also questioned Mike, who was unable to say anything because he realised that he was worried over nothing. He shouldn't be worried about Lucian, rather he should be worried about the people who would dare cross paths with him. James added, “I'm now convinced that you remember the kind of person our boss is, Mike. And if, by chance, you're wondering about where our boss is at the moment, just know that he might be apologising to his dear wife, l
“I have no other excuse again, Anya. I'm really sorry”. Lucian apologised once more. His heart was pounding like a drum as he awaited Anya's reply. “I- I-”. Lucian curiously looked at Anya, who was trying to say something. “I forgive you, Lucian. You can get up now”. Anya said to him. This was a tough decision for her. Lucian's eyes widened in shock. Even though he eagerly hoped that Anya would forgive him, it was still surprising to him that she had really forgiven him. After Lucian had collected himself, he hurriedly stood up and hugged Anya. He couldn't ever endure losing her again. “I love you, Anya. I really do!”. He admitted. He stopped hugging her and fixed his gaze on her face. As he brought his face closer to hers, he saw that she didn't retreat, causing him to be happy. He continued to lean forward and finally kissed her. Lucian never expected Anya, who had a hot temper, to easily forgive him. “I- I love you too. But don't you dare break my heart again”.
