The cigarette smoke, the strong scent of liquor, and the mixture of perfumes overwhelmed Eve’s nose with familiarity. Perhaps, it had been several days since she last came here. Ever since she chooses Lucas, she never thought of coming back here again. in the first place, she went in here with the purpose of getting pregnant. Yet, she already has Lucas, right? But after overhearing his conversation with Simon this morning, she knew she needed to dig deeper. She tried searching online for information regarding Lucas. Yet, there was none—literally, nothing. And it was the oddest thing since in a modern time like this, who else doesn’t have even a single social media account? Thus, she came here. The only place where she can gather information. “Piacere…” Eve jumped on her own feet when she felt a hand snaking in her waist. She instinctively pushed whoever that person was, preparing to either smack him or slap him straight to the face. Yet, when she turned around, the person behind
It wasn’t hard to determine what Lucas was feeling right now. For with just the dark and heavy aura he was emitting, it was already enough for Simon to feel nervous. On the way home, Lucas had been excited and impatient to see Eve. Sometimes, Simon just wondered if he really was excited or was just scared of coming home and finding out that Eve was gone. Now, he can understand why. this was the second time that Eve disappeared without a word. After contacting many of his connections, Simon’s eyes stopped on the screen of his cell phone. On it was a video playing. Turning to Lucas who was restless, he spoke. “Lucas. I think I know where she is right now.” Handing him his cell phone, Lucas reached for it. in just a second, his grip tightened on it and it was on the verge of being crumpled to pieces. On the screen was a video of Eve and Shai dancing so wildly on Piacere. But it wasn’t what made him furious. It was the fact that some men were already beh
Two people’s hearts raced together, faster than the motorcycle that took them away from the noise of the city. Eve was hugging Lucas from behind. Not because she was afraid of falling from the motorcycle, but because she just wanted to feel him. Be it to feel his warmth or his body, she doesn’t care. His presence was enough for her. With their bodies leaning on each other, her heart rammed against his same pace beating heart. “This must be what lovers felt when they were with the one they love. Racing hearts…” Eve thought. Feeling Eve leaning her head on his back, a smile slowly crept on Lucas’s lips. He purposely speeded, making her hug him even tighter. “Won’t you ask where we’re going?” he asked loudly. Eve watched the blurry places they passed by without much thought and answered, “I don’t mind where ever. As long as you’re with me.” Like a little girl, Lucas blushed. Though it was his ear that reddened instead of his cheeks. Grinning, he repli
The bonfire sparked fiercely. Though it provided the two weary and soaked people the comfort of warmth, being in each other’s arms was enough to give warmth to each other. perhaps, this was one of the wonders of love. Even a freezing cold heart can be melted down by the fire from someone’s heart. Eve was leaning on Lucas’s chest, while he encircled her in his arms. None was speaking. and they were contented with just watching the bonfire blaze before them and listening to each other’s heartbeats. Together with the sounds of the waves and the crackling sound of the fire’s sparkle, it sounded so peaceful for both of them. However, Eve was bothered. Only five days were left. She needed to leave Lucas and return to her father. Or else, both of them will suffer. Diverting her eyes up at him, she stared at his handsome face. though his handsomeness was elaborated with his ragged and ruthless look, tonight, he seemed genuinely happy. That little happiness that sh
“I’m pregnant.” In a small and almost whispering voice, Eve blurted out. She need not to check again whether she just read the results wrong to make sure she wasn’t mistaken. That it wasn’t two lines but only one on the small screen. She felt it in herself too. her body was slowly changing despite it being only two weeks since something happened between him and Lucas. That time when this life inside her womb may have been created… With her cold and trembling hand, she dropped the pregnancy kit and caressed her lower belly. Inside her was a life. A life she and Lucas created. Finally, her goal was fulfilled. She was pregnant. Now, she had a reason to cancel the wedding with the Heirta Family. But why wasn’t she feel fulfilled or satisfied? Instead, it seemed as if the world had fallen towards her. what’s with the cold feet and sadness in her eyes? Isn’t this what she wanted? Perhaps, it is. Perhaps, she was just regretful. For since she wa
Eve’s phone was ringing in the middle of the night. Carefully removing Lucas’s arms around her, she got up from bed and picked up her clothes. She was naked as she run to the bathroom with her still vibrating phone in her other hand. With her ballet dance that turned seductive later, how can it not end up in a wild ravenous on the bed? *** Watching Eve dance with grace, Lucas cannot help but smile with his dreamy eyes. perhaps, the sunset rays were there to create a heavenly scene as Eve danced since it actually complimented the dance very much. Eve turned and swirled, like a swan above the waters. She leaped through the air, and it was as if the swan just learned to fly. And now, she excitedly soared through the skies. It would have been better if he was the one playing the piano. Thus, to soothe himself, he joined her dance. On where she was about to land after leaping across, he stood there. he waited for her. Maybe, Eve actually trusted him so m
“So, what are you planning to do right now?” Shia already calmed when she spoke those words. However, the irritation in her tone was still evident after she learned the truth. It’s as if, learning that Eve was pregnant was far way worse than the fact that Lucas was a criminal. Eve leaned on the sink for support, attempting to clear her mind to think of a reply to Shia’s question. Indeed, ‘what must she do next?’ Before this, she kept making excuses and dragging her plan to leave Lucas. However, with this justifiable excuse she just learned, how can she drag it more? A deep and long sigh escaped her lips. it was still trembling even as she spoke. “I will leave him-” “Oh God! Thank you for taking away this b*tch’s foolishness!” Shia commented sarcastically on the other line. It made Eve purse her lips but she didn’t complain about it anymore. “But before that, I needed a day. Shia.” Eve’s tone was pleading as she spoke the next words. “Can you help me with
“I’m already here. Won’t you, two, give me a little respect?” Lucas and Eve: “…” “Hello?! There’s a person here too in case you don’t know?” Annoyed, Simon waved his hand to catch the attention of the two who still pretended oblivious to his presence despite his blatant display of disgust. When he came in, he had as if seen the most horrifying scene in his life when he witnessed them flirting with each other. He wasn’t even aware that his friend could say such sweet and loving words such as ‘our child’ and so on. It was just beyond his expectation. And when he voiced out his complaint, none of them even paid an attention to him. Instead of being embarrassed that someone sees them flirting, they continued and ignored him. And that totally caught him off guard! He was so humiliated! “I get it. I’m single! I don’t have a lover like you two. But that doesn’t mean you need to slap that face directly on m face!” he protested inside his thought.
