Carnation had just arrived in front of the hotel, when she got out of the taxi, Lizette suddenly grabbed hernby the hand and pulled her into the hotel. Shocked, she turned to her friend who pulled her harshly.
"Why are you in a hurry? Did something happen inside?" They were already inside the elevator to Casa de Lujuria. She asked her friend worriedly when she noticed that she was restless.
"Farkas is said to be awake," Lizette seemed to cry as she spoke. Carnation didn't mean to laugh but her friend was just cute, worried about their baby boss. "Nothings funny, Mauve! You know I'm so worried about that fool!"
"Just chill. You don't have to shout. I know you're worried about Farkas." Lizette let go of her hand. Her friend frowned and faced the elevator door. "Why didn't you go to Farkas? You don't have to wait for me to visit him."
"Do you think they'll let me into his room? One more thing, Miss Mist is there. I'm scared of that woman." She laug
The door of Luca's office opened and the four men came out. Carnation had never seen these men before. Luca came out of his office too and immediately noticed her standing in the lobby. The young man frowned wondering why she was standing there wearing only the thin robe. Sheaverted her eyes from the young man and bowed her head. She greeted the men who passed in front of her including her boyfriend who turned to face her once before he finally walked with the men. None of Carnition's own clenched her fist. She looked after the receding young man who never looked at her again. What's the matter? Why does she feel something has changed? The young man looked at her differently when their eyes met. Luca looked cold as if he didn't know her, and that was the first time he had seen her. "Carnation, what are you doing here?" Lylie looked around to make sure no one was coming. "Didn't I tell you to just wait for Mr. Lust in his room?" the organizer joined. "
"Won't Carnation send you to the airport?" teasing question of Farkas sitting in the shotgun seat, while Luca was in the backseat. They’re now waiting for Mistina who takes too long to come down. "She doesn't want to go," he replied sadly to his brother. He called Carnation last night to invite her to send them to the airport, but she just told him to have a safe flight instead. He did not know whether to leave or not. It was obvious from the girl's voice last night that she was still sulking. “Aww… That's sad, bro. Perhaps when you return, someone else will be comforting your girlfriend.” His brother even provoked and laughed out loud. Luca looked at Farkas and showed his middle finger, his brother's laughter got louder because of what he did. "Why don't you just stay here?" “Shut up, Fast. You know why I’m going with you. ” "Because you miss dad?" Luca cursed sharply. Farkasi was purely laughing, overjoyed at teasing his brother. They were constantl
The Lindenhurst siblings took every big step when they arrived at the hospital where their father was taken. When they found the room where father was, Samantha immediately greeted them. The woman looks like she hasn’t slept for a few days, Samantha’s cheerful and clear face has been replaced by stress. "Samantha, how's dad?" Mistina asked worriedly. She took their stepmother's hand and gently pulled her to sit on the couch in the room. "What did the doctors say?" “He is stable now. He is no longer on the brink of death, but the doctor said we shouldn't stress him.” Luca let out a deep sigh and looked at his father who was sleeping peacefully on his bed. He did not think he would see his father in this condition. “What happened? Why did he have a heart attack?” Farkas asked irritably and was sitting on the other side of the couch where Mistina and Samantha were sitting. Luca, on the other hand, sat in the chair next to his father's bed. “He was in a d
"Has Farkas called you yet?" Carnation inquired of her friend, who was sitting on the sofa and munching on a mango with bagoong. She went to her friend because Lizette wanted to eat ripe mangoes dipped in bagoong with someone. Carnation, on the other hand, couldn't eat the food because she couldn't imagine what it tasted like! "Not yet; let go of that lunatic; I don't need him." She shook her head in response to what her friend said. "When are you going to tell him? You can't just be alone in this situation. You two did it, and now you must face the consequences holding hands. ” "I don't need him," Lizette said softly. "I resigned, and we have no connection; I can take care of myself and..." Lizette swallowed loudly. "I can take care of this little one inside of me." "Don't you want that child to have a father?" "The child does have a father. How did this happen if no sperm swooped into my vajayjay and merged with my lovely egg?” Carnation rol
“What are you thinking? Are you having second thoughts now?” Luca looked down at the glass of wine he was holding at Farkas's question. Here’s on the veranda of their mansion in New York, drinking wine while thinking. "You have a chance to step back and just leave everything to me," Farkas offered. He wasn't stupid enough to ignore his older brother's longing for his girlfriend. This is the first time his brother has fallen in love; if necessary, he is willing to give up his freedom so that Luca can be with the woman he loves. "You don't have to do that." Luca turned to face his younger brother and smiled. "I was touched, but you don't have to take my responsibility." "That's nonsense. Because you are the only offspring you have assumed responsibility that should have been shared by the three of us. Don't be a sentimental hero; we are still dad's children, and we have a responsibility to the company,” Farkas snarled at his older brother. Luca is extremely irr
“Why don't you wear this instead of that plain black suit and tie? It looks better on you,” Mistina suggested and showed Luca the white three piece suit. "Yes, that's what you wear to look like you're going to marry that fly," Farkas said teasingly while adjusting the suit he was wearing. He chose to wear a red suit. "Shut up, Farkas, how many times do I have to tell you this? Don't call Armadyl that way; you'll get used to it, and that's what you'll call her in front of a crowd," Mistina rebuked her younger brother. Farkas simply shrugged and walked away to pay for the chosen suit. Luca exhaled a deep sigh. Why is he with them in the first place? He is the only one who should purchase a suit for the charity ball later, so why are his siblings present? "I heard you met your ex-girlfriend earlier," Mistina said when she turned her attention back to him. "And where did you hear that?" "It doesn't matter where; how long will I keep remind
Armadyl is hugging Luca's arm as they walk into the ballroom for their company's charity ball. The woman smiled broadly as she greeted the guests; Luca, on the other hand, smiled sparingly. He wanted to push Armadyl away from him, but it would be too much. He didn't want to embarrass her in front of such a large crowd. "Can you let go of my arm?" he asked, but Armadyl did not move and remained clasped in his arm. It was as if she hadn't heard him say anything. Luca's jaw tightened. He is extremely irritated by this woman. "Are you not paying attention to what I'm saying? I said, 'Let go.'" "Don't expect that from me because it's not in our agreement; I told you, you have to let me do what I want because, after all, I won't bother you anymore after this evening, so relax." He did not speak. Now he regrets agreeing to her terms. They agreed that Armadyl would stop following him in exchange for him being her date tonight. He will not become annoyed or co
Luca stood quietly to one side of the ballroom, and when he saw Mistina stand up from her table and her Fiance, he immediately followed his sister. Misita went to the restroom, and when she emerged, Luca immediately drew her somewhere."What now? Why did you bring me here?" Mistina asked calmly, crossing her arms in front of her chest. "If we keep arguing about Armadyl, you're just wasting your time.""Why is Wren Leath in New York?" he enquired."Wren is my fiancee. Is it necessary for me to seek your permission if he wishes to pay me a visit?” Luca's jaw tightened at Mistina's response. "Besides, who do you think I'll date at the ball? Isn't it wrong if I go on a date with someone other than my fiance tonight? ”"You crossed the line, Mist."“Oh? How come?” she denied, but when Luca punched the wall next to them, Mistina flinched."Don't make me mad," Luca said emphatically, threatening his sister. "We discussed this before, I agreed to your plan. I ma
"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
