Lucky's POVI paused in front of my door when I saw mom inside my apartment, sitting on the couch while silently looking around. She didn't inform me that she's coming.She immediately felt my presence. She looked at me and smiled."Lucky, darling. I'm sorry I didn't inform you I'm coming."I nodded and kissed her cheek. "Have you eaten yet?""I already ate. I just came to talk to you."We sat on the couch. I held her hand. There's hesitance in her eyes as she looked at me with a serious face. I know she wants to know about what happened between me and Peter. She likes Peter for me, but after this, I don't know what she would think and do."Mom, I'm sorry. Are they messing with you? I mean, Peter's family?"She heaved a sigh. "Once. His mother went to our house. And Peter paid a visit. He's apologizing but he didn't tell me what happened. What really happened, darling? I want to know.""I don't want you to worry, mom. All I can say is we're not meant to be with each other?"She looked
Lucky's POVI did everything to avoid Damien the whole day. Mr. Keller and the others started inspecting the island, particularly the spot where the hotel will be constructed. I was listening to them, following them everywhere they went but I kept my distance from Damien. Whenever I see him looking at me, I will immediately look away and move away from him."I want to put glamping domes here, Architect, Engineer." The owner has been talking about the things he wanted for the resort to Mr. Keller and Damien.My eyes remained on Damien as he listened to the owner of the island. He's so tall and lean compared to the other men here. He stood out among them and I can't help but admire how he reached his dreams of becoming an Engineer. He fulfilled his dreams. I envy him but I didn't regret my decisions back then.After the inspection, Mr. Keller told us to take a rest. There are cabins here and I'm staying with the two female engineers from Damien's team."Hi, you're from Mr. Keller's team
Lucky's POVA ray of sunshine kissing my face woke me up from my deep slumber. I slowly opened my eyes and gently rubbed them while searching for my phone on the bed but I failed to find it.I jumped on the bed, shocked with a heated face after I realized I'm not in my supposed cabin. Fragments of memories started rushing in my mind as my lips parted in shock.My heart started beating in a fast pace as my breathing became rugged.I moved my legs a little. I feel sticky between my thighs.Sucking my breath, I looked around. Damien must be here.God! What have I done? I shouldn't have given in to him. I shouldn't have let him kiss me and pleasure me like that. I shouldn't have let lust rule me. I was stupid! I was so freaking stupid."Stop acting like I fcked you last night. I just had a taste to see if you still taste the same."That brazen tone got my attention. I turned to him as anger started rising inside my chest.My heart was bewildered as my eyes checked his whole body.He's wea
Lucky's POV"Lucky…"I froze and stared at Peter standing in the middle of the lobby. He's holding a bouquet of flowers while looking at me with those pitiful eyes.I clenched my jaws. What is he doing here? Is he really gonna mess with me every fcking day?I ignored him. I continued walking towards the elevator, not even paying a single glance.He followed me, but I glared at him and pushed his flower. It fell on the cold tile."Lucky, please talk to me…"I bore my sharp eyes at him. "Didn't I tell you we're over, Peter?""Lucky… Please! I'll do anything and everything. Just please forgive me. Let's start over again, hmm?"I shook my head. "No, Peter. What you're asking is too much. Even talking to you is already too much for me. I don't want to see you anymore. I made it clear to you last time, right?"My cold emotionless eyes remained on him as I stood inside the elevator until it slid close.His eyes are full of guilt and regrets. But it's too late. It's too late!I paused on my w
Lucky's POVI was hugging myself while Damien grabbed Peter and pushed him out of my apartment. I gripped my torn shirt and chewed my bottom lip, trying to hide my body.When Damien came back, he took his jacket off and threw it on my face. He angrily bore his eyes at me."What was that, Lucresia? Why did you let him in?"Is he really blaming me?I shot him cold glares as I threw his jacket back to him. He clenched his jaws and looked at his jacket that fell on the floor."Thanks for saving me. You can now leave, Damien."He laughed sarcastically and kicked the coffee table. I squeezed my eyes closed. Damn him!"He almost raped you! How are you so calm?"I looked at him with nothing but coldness. "You did the same not a few days ago. What's the difference?"He gritted his teeth. "You gave in to me, Lucresia."A lifeless smirk curved in my lips. "Maybe? Maybe I was too horny that night. I didn't realize I gave in to you.""What did you say?" His voice roared like thunder.I languidly p
Lucky's POVThird week of my pregnancy, I went to my OB-gyne to have my check up. I'm relieved and happy knowing that there's no complication and everything is normal."Your cravings will start as early as 5 weeks. And then morning sickness will follow. It will stop in your second trimester and your cravings will eventually stop in the third trimester. Prepare yourself, Miss Salvador."I smiled and nodded. "I'm prepared, doctor. I'm even excited to see the gender of my baby."She chuckled. "That's normal. By the way, continue taking your vitamins, okay? I'm happy for you."After my check up, I went straight to work. As usual, Damien is in the company again. He's inside the conference room with Mr. Keller and they're talking about something.I was doing my work when my phone started vibrating. I quickly picked it up after seeing my mom's name on the screen."Mom…"[Lucky, Peter is in the hospital.]I paused. I don't know why I found myself looking at the glass wall of the conference ro
Lucky's POVI stared at my phone that keeps on constantly buzzing for almost thirty minutes now. Peter keeps on calling but I'm not answering his calls.What does he want now? He wants me to visit him? To pity him for what happened? I'm not stupid. He can't use the accident to make me do whatever he wants. I've learned my lesson and it's not easy to trust him again after what happened.I washed the dishes after eating and grabbed my phone on the counter. I received a message from Peter and my hands started trembling after I read his message.My breathing became hitched. There's a hollow space in my heart which got filled with sadness and fear as tears pooled in the corner of my eyes.I couldn't take my eyes off the message.'I'm gonna kill myself, Lucky. I will jump off this building. I'm telling you. I will jump.'"Ah!" I screamed and threw my phone on the cold tile.My trembling hands covered my ears as I started hearing voices from somewhere."There's blood!""He jumped from the bu
Lucky's POVI couldn't pick up my phone from the floor. When I got home, I felt my heart clenching. I'm scared. Peter threatened me that he will k-kill himself and I'm scared. I'm scared he'd do the same thing that my dad did.It was the weekend the next day. So I forced myself to visit Peter in the hospital. I don't wanna do this because seeing him hurts me but what he used to force me to come is too powerful. I can't ignore it. I can't let him die because of me. I can't let him do… that."Lucky…"He was alone when I entered his hospital room. Tears formed in his eyes but I kept my expression hard and indifferent."Y-You came…"I ignored what he said and stood beside his bed, just a meter away from him."Lucky…" He tried to reach my hand but I moved away. Pain flickered in his eyes."Why did you say that?"He looked down. "I don't have a choice. I was desperate, Lucky."Tears rolled down my cheeks. "You know h-how my father d-died. You know how sensitive it was for me. And you are so
