The atmosphere in the room had not changed at all. It was fun, the coziest house she ever had. She was just uncomfortable in several ways, including her father pushing her. "Oh dear, I miss you!" Her father approached her. They hug to release the longing between them. Aria missed her father, but she always tried to hold back. She became a less expressive girl in front of her father. The best way for her to show how she feels is through her sometimes rebellious attitude towards her father. “I have prepared many things for you, have you seen them?” Aria nodded her head. This house has a special room nicely decorated to welcome the new year. There will be lots of gift boxes neatly arranged on the floor. It was not only a gift from her father but also from her father's acquaintances. "I'm tired, I need a warm bath and rest!" she said Fantino sighed heavily; he could indeed hug his daughter. Only Aria had never been so open to him. From long ago, Aria was closer to her mother than her
Karina was wearing an elegant red dress. Her flowing hair covered her long neck, but there was a necklace that made it beautiful. She was a model for a well-known agency, and her heart was so happy that Lucas agreed to have dinner with her. The atmosphere of the new year is still felt, but it's only a matter of time before everything passes, and tomorrow's month will be a new beginning. A lot happens yearly, but Lucas's life seems to hang in place. Lucas felt it all before Aria came into his life. After Aria's arrival, things were different. "What's wrong with your phone?" Karina's voice broke Lucas' reverie. "There isn't any!" he said “Is there any important work? I mean, you haven't stopped looking at your phone since earlier." Lucas sighed; he wanted to stop to stare at his phone. If possible, he didn't want to think about anything for now. The thing was, his mind couldn't stop thinking about Aria. "Forget it! I heard you got an offer to shoot a movie, why did you turn it dow
Lucas and Aria had been separated for more than two weeks. The new month that Lucas had just passed suddenly felt even more empty than usual. He tries to stay strong, but it turns out that he always encounters times that are so fragile. “Today you can't get drunk anymore! What's wrong with you sir? You've missed important meetings three times. I'm sorry that I always indulged you in going to that bar,” Alex protested. Lucas sighed heavily; he didn't expect Alex to take him to a rooftop restaurant. According to Alex, his boss has to eat food, so he doesn't think about alcohol anymore, "You don't understand this!" Lucas protested “Which part did I not understand? I don't see any serious problem you're having. You run the company well. Those thugs didn't cause any trouble either, your underlings at the academy are fine too, so what else?" Alex had always been silent; he was interested in provoking a one-on-one chat with Lucas, but this time, it was enough. Lucas was completely out of
Aria recalled the two days before she returned to Manhattan. Her father still had not given up. She returned with a 27-year-old man. His name is Carlos; he is a jewelry entrepreneur. He also has boutiques in various regions. It was the youngest of the others, introduced by his father. Aria gave up momentarily, so she and Carlos complied with his father's wish to have dinner. During dinner, the chatter between them was decent. Aria still wasn't interested in looking at Carlos as a man; she had explained that she just wanted to be friends, but Carlos refused elegantly. Carlos is calm; he likes playing the guitar and is not in a hurry. Aria's rejection only made him curious, so he didn't give up. He even promised to visit Aria in Manhattan. “That's the story. I think he's a nice guy, his way of speaking is polite, he's friendly too, but…” Aria couldn't continue what she was saying. Lucas pulled his hand to get out of the bathtub. He took Aria under the shower. "I don't like it when y
Lucas and Aria had a small argument because Aria didn't want to be too restrained. She wanted freedom, which he needed most in her life. "I'll be fine, let me and Megan enjoy some free time even if it's for a bit, OK?" Aria reassured Lucas. He didn't get out of his car before Lucas agreed with his words. He had let Lucas accompany him, but not by making Lucas follow in his footsteps. Lucas glanced out the car window; he saw Megan waiting for Aria at the coffee shop. There was no one there besides Megan. The atmosphere was not what Lucas had imagined. It was just a hunch, which made him guard Aria even more tightly. “Alright!” Lucas relented Aria showed a happy smile; she got out of the car without feeling the suffocation she felt. Lucas just stared at Aria from a distance and let her enjoy her time. "Aria has grown up, she understands your worry!" said Alex. It took patience for him to explain many things, to his boss who acted like a child, when he thought of a woman. Is it possi
Alex secretly investigates a man named Carlos. Based on the information he got, he also confirmed that the man in question had interacted with Fantino in Sicily. Carlos is quite influential because of his jewelry business; he also has acquaintances in the business community there. Even though Alex had gotten all the information he needed, he hadn't reported anything to Lucas yet because no movement would threaten Carlos. For a moment, everything went smoothly. Alex intends to return to his room; it's time for him to rest and forget the world's problems for a moment. He gasped to see from a distance that Lucas was on the second floor's balcony. Lucas' face looked very tired. Moreover, he was enjoying the evening breeze with a glass of cocktail. "Are you enjoying the quiet alone, sir?" Alex exchanged pleasantries Lucas just smiled faintly; he allowed Alex to stand beside him. So far, the bond of friendship for Lucas does not guarantee that one day he will not be lonely. Lucas unders
“I can't stop thinking, how could you let him manipulate data? Tell him right now to my room.” Lucas released his anger. He has visited his subsidiaries in several areas today. He checks the progress of his project. It wasn't a big project, but one of the depts had been manipulating the data. Even his employees copied and distributed the data to people who competed with Lucas in the business world. “I'm sorry, sir, it's my fault for being negligent in this matter.” his secretary Maria lowered her head; she didn't expect to be fooled. The deputy deputy division is responsible for projects in the east and is a good person. He is so friendly and works hard that even his subordinates often praise him as a man who is not stingy. They always get the job done on time. “Maria, I'm not interested in hearing your apology. Call that bastlard to my room right now!” Lucas said firmly One more hour is the time to go home from work. Lucas held back his emotions all the way, making his mood erra
“Miss Aria, it's time to get up. I prepared warm soup and hangover reliever for you” Maya shook Aria's body, so that the girl would wake up from her sweet dream.Aria's eyes opened slowly. The warm scent hit her senses immediately. She winced at the sensation that suddenly hit her body. Her head felt a bit heavy, but it didn't hurt too much."Good morning Miss Aria, I'm glad you're awake" Maya said againAria rubbed her eyes. She yawned as she felt the comfort in her body. She had just realized that she was wearing an oversized black shirt, it was clearly not her size.Her eyes were perfectly round as he remembered last night's delicious passion "Oh my gosh!" Aria covered her chest. She wasn't naked, but as soon as she remembered that moment she felt ashamed.Maya smiled at her, she acted as if she didn't notice anything “You want to take a shower now? You better drink first, your throat feels dry right?” she said"How did you know!" Aria felt the need to be careful to speakMaya took
Lucas and Alano have different personalities. When they work together, both are famous for being fierce, cruel and seem untouchable. They were very strong, but Fantino realized that Alano had his own way of thinking.Alano tends to be difficult to control after he takes drugs, like it or not, Fantino separates the two of them because for Fantino working cleanly is far more attractive to him. As a result, Fantino's decision completely turned Alano against him.Since Alano left the association, he has gone wild because he associates with paid gangsters. They killed without mercy, and that's where the unexpected happened. Lucas saves a teenage girl, he feels the girl is similar to his sister.Lucas made sure that the little girl's family received financial assistance from him every month, until suddenly the girl's house caught fire, covered in blood the girl ran to Lucas and said that both her parents had died in the fire.Lucas is looking for the killer of the little family, and he is f
The happiness that adorned their little family changed Lucas' life 180 degrees. As much as possible, he tries to avoid dangerous things, so there are no more problems. He didn't want his son to be involved in the danger he created.“Have you bought everything you need?” Lucas glanced at Aria's shopping basket. Today his wife really insisted on cooking delicious food for him, even though Aria was already at the end of her pregnancy.“There are still some I want to buy! You just wait for me there okay!”"I will buy it for you"Lucas' worries grew bigger and bigger over time. He couldn't just ignore his wife. There was a deep sense of anxiety, and also he felt haunted for Aria's safety. Something seemed to be chasing him from a distance."Lucas, I'll be fine. You don't need to worry about me like that!” Aria always reassured Lucas. It's been more than a month since their wedding.The new environment that Aria lives in also provides comfort for Aria, she is also taking care of her leave a
Megan stayed for two days at the house. After that, Aria came back out of her room. Every morning, she takes a walk in the backyard garden, then plays in the water in the pool. She enjoyed the cool air again compared to always being in her room."Hi" the baritone voice that had not made Aria's feelings flutter for a long time. When he looked back, Lucas stepped towards him.At first Lucas wasn't sure about this, but he couldn't delay talking to Aria any longer. Lucas' footsteps got closer to Aria, he glanced at Aria's facial expression and confirmed everything first.Aria didn't dodge at all, so she managed to stay seated beside Aria. He also dipped his feet into the pool. The atmosphere between them was not so awkward anymore. They glanced at one another."Hi!" Aria replied. She showed a smile. Lucas feels very relieved, he hasn't seen a smile like that in a long time. He missed everything, and the situation turned out very well for him. Now he felt even more relieved."Are you havin
Everything happened suddenly. Aria attempted to contact Valery. She explained everything carefully so that there would be no misunderstanding. Aria didn't intend to give up, but for some reason the bigger the pregnancy, the more difficult it was for her to control her feelings."I'm fine, okay! I beg you, can you help me to pack up my things? Someone will pick up all that stuff for me!” she saidFrom across, Valery was behind the counter. Today there were a lot of people coming to her shop, but she couldn't think of anything. She seemed to lose someone who used to be near her. So far, she has considered Aria part of her family.“Hey, I think you should talk to Ethan. You know that none of this is easy, right?" Valery smiled faintly.She saw how Aria tried to survive so far, but when Aria chose to return to Lucas, for some reason Valery's worry was so great. She once gave the best advice to Aria, because of her great sympathy for Aria. She felt uneasy, if only she had more rights, she
Everything just happened, even Aria didn't notice anything. She felt very panicked, especially when Anne screamed in fear. When she came to her senses, Aria was already in the car with four men."Oh god, who are you guys? Anne?" Aria looked back, Anne laid her head on the back of the seat with her eyes closed. Suddenly Aria panicked “What did you do to her? Get off us right now, damn it! Fuck” Aria cursed and moved in a panic.One of the men received the code, swiftly he put handcuffs on Aria's hands so that Aria's movements were limited. After that, Aria's breath rushed, she felt scared and her blood was flowing warmly all over her body.Aria glanced at her stomach "Pleasae, let us go!" suddenly tears flowed down her cheeks. She whimpered in pain of worry that she couldn't contain. Anne, who heard Aria's voice become so heavy, let out a long breath.“This man loves you so much!” she said. The look in his eyes was so calm, especially when Anne smiled. She might be doing this job for m
Lucas was not interested in dealing with other matters, after the argument that had taken place between him and Aria. He still flashes back to the past. Wasn't Aria the first to approach him? Aria even bravely offered herself to be slept with by a man like Lucas.“Alex, you know I don't want to hear any ridiculous bullshit right now. What are you and Megan talking for? We've found Aria here!” Lucas rubbed his temples.Months have passed, Lucas forgot the last time he felt so excited with the pounding in his chest. He remembered how Aria always managed to create a new atmosphere for herself every day. Although sometimes petty squabbles become a pedestal for them.“Megan said something very important. I'm sure you want to hear this too!”Lucas sighed heavily "Then say it now!"“Aria is pregnant!”Lucas drew his brows together, his brows coming together firmly. He wasn't stupid, he had known that for a long time “Are you kidding me now!”Alex shook his head, his lips feeling heavy to say
Lucas has a strong sense of holding things up. When he ended up loving Aria, then he had already stepped into his inner misery. A girl like Aria, doesn't she seem like a lively girl? Just because of his presence, Lucas' world collapsed like there was no pillar to support his pride. “You know I never play with guns! You know me too well!” he said Aria's fear was ignited just like that. Not only did he know Lucas, she had even witnessed how harsh her father's environment was before. “At the very least, show some pity for a pregnant woman like me!” Aria grimaced. Her hand slowly dropped, and the shard of glass she held was released. Aria didn't notice that her palm had been scratched. Blood flowed slowly in the scratched part of her wound. Then slowly, the blood dripped onto the floor. Lucas glanced with the look in his eyes, he panicked even though only a drop of Aria's blood was shed. Only a quarter of a second, Lucas again approached Aria. He grabbed Aria's hand, glanced at Aria's
Right after his arrival, Aria was still rooted to the spot. She stood at the door, only to block Lucas from entering her apartment. Audrey had gone grocery shopping for the cake shop, and Aria was alone in her apartment. “Let me in, Aria!” Lucas said in a tone that was so calm. He was still pounding to meet with Aria. It was as if the love they felt had not dried up at all. Life is so cruel, and makes them have to separate like this. "Please Lucas, just get out of here!" Aria pleaded She wasn't afraid if she had to face Lucas or Alex. She's just worried that she won't be able to control herself, which will have fatal consequences for her baby. Lucas's didn’t care when listening to orders from other people. He was used to being given orders, so he was the one who had to make others obey him. He turned towards Alex "Take care out here!" he said Lucas pulled Aria's arm to go inside, closed the door and pulled Aria into his room. Aria naturally showed her protesting mood. But is it us
As a cheerful woman, Aria certainly left many pleasant memories for those in her past. She is even a very stubborn girl, so that sometimes Lucas can't beat her selfish attitude. After a long time, it was as if Alex didn't recognize Aria anymore. he was in front of a different woman, like the beginning of the meeting with an other character. Aria sat down with a calm face, and her hand didn't stop stroking her belly. It was as if she was protecting her baby. She don't know since when Aria has the warmth like a mother. She is brave enough to make choices, and leave everything she thinks is bad for her. “To be honest, I'm really surprised by all of this. You gave an unexpected surprise to me and Mr Lucas!” Aria sighed heavily, she wasn't interested in small talk. She wanted this chat to end quickly. "Well, then I'll say surprise, I'm pregnant and yup you guys ruined my day" Aria smiled faintly "I'm not in the mood for a joke, you know that right?" "Then don't mince words with me. I
