Carnation quickly got out of the taxi and ran inside the hospital. The nurse in the reception immediately pointed at the emergency room when she asked about the young man. She didn't know what to do, her hands and knees were shaking with extreme worry, hoping Luca's condition wasn't fatal.
She looked at several hospital beds, but Carnation did not see the young man. Her nervousness intensified because of this. She felt like she was going crazy with worry, she also asked some nurses but they said the same thing, in the emergency room they said she would find the young man she was looking for.
Carnation was tired of running for a long time and she felt that her knee would give up anytime, she could no longer walk. She sat in the chair on the side of the lobby. Exhausted and out of breath, Carnation looked up when she saw a man's shoes in front of her.
"Hey," it said.
Carnation immediately frowned and kicked the young man's knee really hard. The young man sh
"Let's go…" Carnation didn't let the young man in front of him speak. She took the handbag and turned her back on him.Luca, on the other hand, woke up in anger and immediately chased after the girl who left. She's walking too fast, and only caught up with Carnation in the parking area. Luca even gasped for air as he reached for her elbow and made her faced him"I'm sorry. I just didn't really like what he did so I couldn't stop myself from punching him," Luca explained with just gazing at Carnation's eyes. The truth is that his head really heated up when the old man insulted Carnation in front of him. He was not a violent person, but his body moved spontaneously before he could realize and kicked the old man. That old man hit a nerve, though."You don't have to be sorry," Carnation replied gently. Luca frowned as she averted her eyes, but still couldn't hide the tears from her eyes."Hey, why are you crying?" Luca asked softly and gently lifted th
Luca pinned her on the wall as soon as they got inside his house. He kissed her with full affection on the lips, to which Carnation immediately responded. She did not know how they got to the young man's house in such a short time. All she could remember was that it broke away from their kiss, he drove the car as if racing to death, and in the blink of an eye, they were in front of the young man's house.The young man intensifies the kiss. Luca's lips were warm and soft, Carnation could still taste the bittersweet taste of the wine he had earlier. Their bodies pressed together heatedly against the wall as they breathed heavily, tasting each other's lips. She could feel the butterflies dancing in her stomach. The strange feeling caused by Luca's kisses, was awakening some emotions in Carnation's heart.Chasing their breaths, they parted lips of each other. Luca pressed against their foreheads, and all Carnation could hear was their hearts beating at the same time. They
"Can't you just sleep here?" The young man squeezed her hand carefully, as he pleaded. They had just finished cleaning the kitchen, after eating tikoy with Farkas."Where can I sleep here? Don't tell me I'm going to sleep with Miss Mist?""Why her? I'm here, you can sleep with me," Luca said and smiled broadly. "Don't worry. We're just going to sleep.""Ah-huh? Really?""Yeap, I have a word." Carnation shrugged and laughed softly at what the young man said. The size of its self-confidence. Just look at him, maybe later he will eat his own words."So?""Fine. Just sleeping,okay..." The young man's smile widened even more. Excited, Luca took her hand and pulled her out of the kitchen, the young man pulled her up to his bedroom on the third floor.Carnation couldn't help but smile, as the young man gently sat her on the edge of his bed. Luca left her for a moment inside the room, he returned with sleeping clothes, a clean towel and a new
"I didn't know you were here at home.""Oh my gosh!" surprised Carnation said and addressed the one who spoke. "Miss Mist! It's you." Bewildered, she took the cup of coffee and hid it in her back.She woke up early so she thought of preparing breakfast in bed for Luca. With so much excitement, she did not think that the young man was living with his siblings in the house. Tsk. She's really stupid! It's embarrassing that Mistina caught her in the kitchen that she didn't own."What are you doing?" she asked and peeked behind her so she hid the coffee even more. "You don't have to hide it.""What. It's just coffee made by me, Miss Mist—""You don't need to address me with that, we're not at Casa de Lujuria.""I-is that so ...""Yes, just call me Mistina or big sis" Carnation's eyes widened at what the woman said. OMG! Why big sister? "You look so shocked? I know everything about my brother Luca, and I'm sure you're here, because yo
"You're stunning, Carnation." Lezitte said teasingly to her as they applied makeup in the waiting room. They have a performance today with Rj, and she heard that only VIPs are on the list of the audience who will watch them."Tch! You saw again. Can you just stop teasing me?""Hey, no... It's true, you're blooming. Did Sir Rufus' anaconda finally find your hole?" She frowned at what her friend had said."Rufus?""Yes, Boss Farkas said that's why you weren't on duty for a few days because Sir Rufus housed you." She was stunned. Can't fully understand what her friend is saying. What? Rufus and her live-in his house? But the last time she saw the man was at Samantha's party. She was not able to cover him during their seasons because she was always with Luca."It's not like that—" She stopped speaking voluntarily when she noticed her coworkers in the reflection in the mirror. She had almost got the attention of them."Yes, I have a special
"I'm sorry..." Carnation's hands stopped massaging. She sat comfortably on the bed next to the prone young man and covered his exposed back with a white towel. "What for?" she asked, one hand resting on the bed while the other stroked the hair on the side of Luca's head. The young man did not speak, he remained silent and lay on the bed so she predicted. "Is it about what happened earlier backstage?" He still did not speak. Carnation let out a deep sigh because of that. "You don't have to apologize. You didn't do anything wrong, I should be the one to apologize for what happened." Luca moved, he lay down on the bed and stared at her face. "Why are you so sorry?" "Because I chose to keep our relationship a secret?" she asked in response. She really wants to keep everything a secret between them first, because her life is still chaotic. The young man did not complain and let her do what she wanted to happen. Luca said that he understood her situ
"Don't you have anything to buy?" Luca asked Carnation as they entered the young man's car after buying a cake. They were now going to Wren Leath's house, just as the two of them had talked. They first went to the café where Carnation used to work to buy a treat for Wren. "Nothing, this is all I want to bring to him. Do you want to buy something for Kuya Wren?" "We're not that close actually. I don't know what he wants, I'm just really going to visit him because of Mistina." Luca looked at the box of cake on Carnation's lap. "I think that will be enough." "Mhmm…I guess. Only Kuya Wren and his two helpers are in the house." Luca nodded and drove the car to their destination. Luca has not yet spoken to Wren Leath about his upcoming wedding with his sister. He was very surprised by the news he received, because his sister wasn't talking about her love life, but Luca really didn't think that of all the men his sister would marry, why did it happen to be W
Carnation caught up with Wregan in the living room, and before she could finally enter the house, Wregan shrugged Luca who was standing to greet Wren who was coming down the stairs and suddenly punched Luca in the face, Luca fell to the floor because of the force of Wregan's blow. "Wregan!!" Carnation's loud cry. She quickly ran towards the two men. Unconsciously she pushed Wregan and attended to Luca sitting on the floor. "Are you out of your mind!?" she shouted angrily. She turned to Luca and carefully touched his bruised cheek. "Are you alright?" The young man nodded one after another. "I'm fine, don't worry. I just didn't expect what he did so I didn't have time to avoid his punch" he replied calmly and with a smile. Wregan who was watching the two clenched his fist, his jaw tightened at the sight. The woman he truly loves is protecting his love rival from him. He looks like a villain in the love story of the two No. This can't be! He should be th
"I thought you're the one who's gonna pick me up?" Wregan sensed that his girlfriend was sulking. He secretly smiled but immediately wiped it out of his lips. "Yeah, I'm sorry. I think I won't be able to finish this immediately. I'll just see you in the house.""Okay.. I understand." Carnation sweetly said but he's sure that his girlfriend is already in a sour mood. Damn, he needs to make it up to her later. "Okay. I'll see you later.""Bye–" he immediately ended the call when he saw Kara with a sales lady. "Here, this is the only thing I saw that can fit her. The stones of the other rings are too AO." The lady presented a beautiful ring in front of him. "I like it. Simple yet perfectly beautiful." He commented that it made his best friend smile. "Just like her, right? That's how detailed you describe her to me.""Yeah.. Just like her." There was a smile on his lips when he answered. "I'm so excited to meet her in person." Kara smiled as she said that. Tonight, Wregan is plannin
Carnation's POV"Hi," Wregan greeted me with a little smile. My grip on the glass of water tightened. "I'm glad that you finally gave up hiding from me." If only I had the strength to be like Captain America I might have broken the glass in my hand with my grip on it so tightly. The thickness of his face, he has the guts to tell me that even though it all started with him."I'm not hiding from you, it's just that my stomach can't handle watching your cheating face in front me," I calmly yet firmly said. I glared back at him. I won't let myself lose to him this time, even though it hurts, I won't let him see my vulnerable state right in front of him. His jaw clenched. "Will you believe me if I'll tell you that nothing happened between me and Kar–""Don't even mention that b*tch's name." His gaze on me sharpened. Seems like he didn't like what I just called the woman he loves. The fuck, it's because of these bastards thag swearing became my hobby. "Nothing happened," he insisted bu
Carnation's POVI lost consciousness due to chest tightness, I had difficulty breathing, and when I woke up it was dawn. I forced myself to get up to go down to the first floor. There I caught up with Wregan sleeping on the long sofa with no top on. I never saw Kara again, no trace of the woman in the whole flat.I sneaked out. I couldn’t stand Wregan’s presence, I just remembered the sh*t that he made last night. I left his condo with only my cellphone and wallet. Opposite the condominium building I hailed a taxi and drove to St. Luke’s, I hung out and ate breakfast at a nearby fast food chain.I no longer care if other customers look at me. How can they not when I am crying while eating? To the extent that my tears have become my rice soup.I stayed in that fast food chain for god knows how long as long as I knew my ass was getting thicker after a few hours of sitting. The staff didn't bother telling me off either so I stayed there first even though I looked like a fool. I
Petunia's POV"KISS! KISS! KISS!" I couldn’t help but roll my eyes because of the screams of the guests. I was even more irritated by the sound of goblets being beaten with utensils. A waiter passed in front of me. I took from its carrying tray a glass of Negroni, a cocktail drink. I took a sip from my drink, and I immediately tasted the delicious mixture of vermouth rosso, campari and gin."Whooa !!" The guests shouted again when the newlyweds accepted their request for a kiss. My jaw clenched and held the negroni glass tightly.The scene was stressing me out! Too painful in the eyes, especially in my heart. Why did I even go to this wedding? Annoyed, I drank the rest of my glass, and when the waiter passed by again, I took another serve of wine."Aren't you going to get drunk with that?" I raised an eyebrow at what I heard. I faced the man who spoke behind me. It was Wregan Leath, a friend of the groom like me. But we are not close to each other, they are in a different c
Wregan's POV"I was surprised to learn that you will be visiting here at home." A beautiful woman approached us. I couldn't help but get a second look at her face. She was like a living Barbie doll talking and walking in front of me. What's her name again? Tilaine? I've heard her name before. If I'm not mistaken she was the woman Luca had a relationship with in New York back then. I was not aware that she was a Doukas. Who is she among the Doukas sisters? I wonder."I'm sorry. It's just that Wregan is insistent, I don't have a choice because this jerk is too stubborn," Kara apologized to her cousin. I, on the other hand, just smiled sheepishly. What will I say?"I see. Daddy is already waiting in his office. Will you all come inside?" Tilaine asked. I still couldn’t help but stare at her beautiful face."No. Only the three of them will come inside to talk to your daddy," Primus replied and pointed at me, Luca and Carnation."Okay. You can come with me, guys." She led the way an
Luca's POVI was bathing on my own barf when I woke up on the couch of a living room. The place is unfamiliar and I can’t remember how I got to this place. This place looks like a condo of someone, but who could it be? I knew no one who could take me to this place, and especially I had no friends at university to take care of a drunk like me."You're awake…"I looked up to see the man, he looks familiar yet I can't remember exactly who he is--wait, I remember. "You were one of those weirdos," I claimed pointing at him. I can't be wrong, he's with the man who always follows me wherever I go. I can't definitely be wrong."If those guys out there you were referring to, yes. I'm one of them. It's hard to accept but those crazy people are my friends." He was referring to the men on the balcony of the unit, they seemed to be arguing."Your friends are crazy….""I know right." He chuckled and sat down on the other end of the couch where I was sitting. "I'm Gregory Zahied. I’m not actual
Sloan’s POV"This is Wregan Leath and Gludox Portoni, my fuck'n bestfriends. They were the ones that I've been telling you about,those guys who were a chick magnet!" I examined the two gorgeous men Primus introduced to me.I first noticed the almost perfect face of the man he called Wregan. Like me, he's absolutely tall, but I’m sure I’m a few centimeters taller than him. He has eyes like fox and tiger, fierce, sharp and seems to be hiding a lot of things but it also looks full of pleasure when its eyes sparkle. His nose was a perfect shape with a small mole on the lower end. I won’t be surprised if it’s true that he's considered a casanova. It's already obvious in his presence. I then looked at the man Primus called Gludox. Its skin is so white that it seems to have beaten snow white to whiteness; it is a little shorter than Wregan and I, but Primus is still shorter than this man. It has a charming cat-like appearance but is unreliable. His cuteness is like something cute but d
Carnation’s POV"Are you sure?" Samantha asked when I declined her offer to take me to the bus station.“No, I'm still going to the library. I have to borrow books for my report on Friday,” I explained and smiled at him.She frowned and forced herself to nod. "Alright, but tomorrow, we'll be the one to drive you home okay? Take care on your way, you know perverts nowadays are lurking around!" I nodded and waved at her. She went inside her service car and waved at me through the window. I went back to the school building to go to the library. I actually have a report on Friday and I need some materials to use. I was at the library for a while, I just borrowed books and then went home."Seems like it's about to rain," I said to myself and looked up at the sky. I just hope the rain won't continue to come because I don't have an umbrella to use. I took a deep breath before quickly running towards gate 2 of the school, because it was closer to the bus stop if I took that route. I only tak
“I really like this place. How old is this house? ” he asked and looked around the cave house. Luca and I had just returned from the Philippines after their honeymoon in Istanbul and Georgia, and here they immediately went straight to its cave house in Cagayan Valley.“7 years? I did this after I built my house in Luzon. You want wine? ” He nodded in response to its question. It was in the kitchen and he was in the living room looking at the paintings on the wall. The husband tells him it sold the paintings at an underground auction."It's been a long time," he commented and faced the biggest picture. He suddenly remembered that the tank of one of Luca's pet snakes was hidden behind the picture. With full courage, he approached the painting and pressed the button there to see the cage."Who took care of him when you were in New York?" he
