I immediately reached him when I got to the company. He needs to talk to me right now.
Now we are here on the rooftop of the Vontrell building. The Vontrell company is one of the leading companies in the country. The name of the company is Vontrell that was given of our grandfathers when they built it at the very first time. The company name was taken from our last name. That was Vontrell Company from the last name of Vontero and Montrell families. Lucas and I have that last name. But now our grandfathers are gone. They are long dead behind. But now Lucas and I are still managed this company for the future. We work together for this company to continue what's our grandfathers started before. Lucas only stares in his direction as he was standing now near from me. He has no intention to turn his head with me. I was just standing near to him. It seemed one meter away from him. I watched him carefully but he is very cold as dead in my eyes. Instead he talk to me now he was still standing and never speak out. He just stood by my side as he were cold. Lucas feels like I'm dead in his presence. He never turned his eyes with me to faced me. I know he is not like this before. He act stranger. Feeling that he never know me. My heart hurting because of that. "I called you to end everything Iris. Don't expect that I have called you to fix everything. You manipulated me and the people who trusted with us." My eyes widened terribly when he spoke. What does he mean? Why did he says that words? "Let's end our relationship now. Let's pretend that we are stranger to each other in this world." I swallowed hard because of what I heard from him. I know Lucas didn't even think about the words he said now. He wants to end our relationship? is he kidding? He loved me from the beginning but now he will end our relationship for just a second? No! It was wrong! It's really terrible. I felt a few tears fall from my eyes. I shook my head slowly. My heart sobbed at this point. I want to hold back my tears but I can't. My heart is still hurting. "Lucas! I know you love me! Why did you says those words so quickly?" I asked him as I watched him carefully. I can't imagine now that my man really hates me this way. I could feel the impatient in his cold voice. He kept looking from afar. I want to say that he faced me now. He look and watch me but I couldn't speak out the words that coming from my heart. "What do you expect Iris after you ruined everything? What do I have to expect from you? You still hope that we can fix this! It's never happen. It's only your dream." The furious in his voice was flared. Even he didn't face me. I can see the blazing anger on his lips. "I don't know how to explain everything to him. I know it's hard to say that I didn't steal the money because it was transferred in my bank account." I want to tell to him that I'm not crazy to do that. But I know he won't listen to me right now. I know he will just ignore my words. He will follow what he thinks about me. "It's hard to convince people to believe with me even you. I know I hurt you Lucas. Not only you but everyone who trusted in you with the Vontrell company." Lucas faced me slowly. I couldn't understand the cold emotion on his face. It's really weird the way he look at me now. I saw the blazed in his eyes. "Lucas! Listen to your heart, please! You will understand everything. It will be clear to you that I'm not! You will understand that I'm not the one to do that. I'm not a fool." I saw his red lips parted in furious. He never believe with me. "You're really crazy Iris. I'm not a child anymore to manipulate someone like you. Only a fool person would believe to what you are saying about. I know you did it just to take over my power from this company, right?" Lucas slapped me those words in my face. I felt offended by his words. He speaks harshly. It's like he never know me just to says those words. He's wrong. Lucas! Lucas listen to your heart. I know you're just being carried by your emotions that's why you hated me. "You are selfish Iris. You only think about yourself. You didn't even think about the future of our company. Thank you! Because you showed me your true self." "Stop it Lucas!" I shouted in anger. He insulting me that way. "How many times do I have to tell you Lucas that I didn't do that. I didn't steal the company's money. I'm not selfish! I'm not a fool as you think Lucas." I made him understand me but he didn't listen. Tears just fall in my eyes. I am hurting because of the words coming out from him. Lucas sighed bitterly at me. He looked in his direction again. There's a furious on his lips. "I know you don't understand me? I simply want to understand that I never do that thing. Is it hard to believe the words that come out from me Lucas?" I pointed myself. I wiped my tears away from my eyes. I'm hurted because of how Lucas makes me feel guilty. He doesn't care about my feelings anymore. "What do I have to show Lucas just to believe with me? Just to listen with me?" My feelings are filled with sadness and sorrows. The one person I trusted never understand me. Am I a criminal for him just to hates me like that? I'm still a criminal in his eyes? "Iris, stop your foolishness. You have nothing to prove but your being greedy. Your stole the money. You are terrible. You made me a puppet." My knees trembled down in weak because of what Lucas said. The words he says served as a knife to my chest. I don't know where his mercy? Where his tame love for me? I never see any admiration from his eyes. Furious and angry was there in his heart. I don't feel the love the way he loves me before. I wish I could feel it now. I miss him very much. I want to hug him and kiss. I want to make him feel my true feelings. I don't care if I'm desperate in his eyes. I don't care if I become like a dog to get his attention. I love him with all my heart. I can't lose him in my whole life. I can't let him go. Lucas is the only one who comforts my feelings when I was down. He makes me feel glad. The one who makes me smile every time I don't understand what's going on at this world.Iris's POVI rubbed my little eyes. My tears falls endlessly. My eyes are gently bleaching and puffy.I can't believe it at all of a sudden. The man I wanted to be with is now gone. He left me alone. Tears at the memories. He left me and he never came back again. A story full of cheerfulness. But it was replaced by sadness and longing. He is indeed a hero. Ready to fight on war.If love is war? He's my knight in shining armor. He is willing to risk his life just to save his Maria Clara.His name is Lucas not Ibarra. But he is as brave as Juanito Alfonso and Ibarra. He's ready to fight for me even to his last breath. My feet froze when we reached his graveyard. There was only a strong gust of rain around.It seems that time is joining and sympathizing with the sorrow of my heart. The cold breeze felt like ice on my skin.A large tent serves as a shelter from the heavy rain. Here we are sheltered so that we don't get wet forever.I couldn't imagine and was not sure where Lucas was lyi
Clara's POV"Clara Mondragon! You're committed in this crime as a murder. You have been found guilty according to the law."I just cried as I mourns. My tears just fall down on my cheeks. I felt like I was shot in my chest and I almost died. I can't breathe. My hands were shaking while handcuffed. I also feel my knees shaking.Feeling sick. The pain stabbed my chest. I can't accept it with myself. I'm committed in this crime as a murder. No! I feel like I'm getting crazy. I'm out of mind. My head felt like it was going to crack. The pain I feel I felt I'm weak.I was just stunned while walking. Nothing in oneself. My mind is flying in the airy. It's sad to think.My tears just fall. I don't know what's happening to me? I'm like I'm being killed by sadness.The cameras flashed incessantly as I walked. There was a lot of press around us. They were photographing me and investigating. I don't know? They are in trouble. They don't want to wait to know the truth. The police only stopped
"No! You have no right to do that Clara."Lu... Lucas? Clara did not fire the gun she was holding. We got our attention when Lucas arrived.My eyes widened in shock. I can't believe that Lucas comes unexpectedly to save us. I thought he would never come. Thanks God! Damn! Clara could not speak. She was only holding the gun and her hands were shaking. She becomes speechless.Clara couldn't believe that Lucas would come to this point. Her eyes widened in surprise."You're a traitor Daniel. I trust you! But I don't think that you are the only one who will betray me. You don't owe me anything." Lucas yelled.Daniel's eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe he had done that to boss. He was trusted all his life but he became a traitor."I have never been a traitor! But I hope you understand me! I did it because I needed money." What does he mean? He shook his head. Daniel seems to regret what he did. He felt sorry. He slowly pointed the gun at Clara. Daniel became too emotional. What
"I'm sorry!" I dreadfully scream. I couldn't stopped myself from crying as my tears fall. Pain gently shot my chest. "I'm sorry if I didn't say informed you Lucas! I'm here in the South Center Building. Andrie are their captive." I'm restless with my voice trembled. I feel like my knees will shake because of its tremors. I feel dread and fear."What?

I don't understand my feelings. I feel like I'm getting fool."Wait! I don't understand you? Are Clara and Daniel there? Is Andrie captive?" Lucas was just confused. He didn't understand me."Yes! But I don't understand Lucas. They fight and shoot each other. They are fighting with Andrie."I just cry. I feel my tears sheds. I just cried fearfully. "Wait! How...? I don't understand you! Just don't leave there okay! I'm on my way!" Lucas growled. I feel him runni
"Ahhh!" I was screaming from pain. I'm like a rag thrown on the floor. My body was numb."Mommy!" Andrie just exclaim worriedly. I was kneeling before Clara. Anger was flaming in her eyes. She would shattered in disgust with me. She quickly pointed the gun at my head. Her hand was shaking with disgust. She will shoot me mercilessly."Alright! Try to fight Iris. I'll kill you." she immediately pointed a gun at Andrie's head. Anger was burning in her eyes."No! Please! Don't shoot my son Clara! I'm begging you!" I fell to my knees shrank and I burst into tears. My knees were shaking with fear. My hands are cold.Andrie was just crying. His tears were falling down as he looked at me. He shook his head.

My tears are falling."You! Your son! Even your family are the reason why my life beca
I shook my head terribly when I opened my eyes. My palms were full of blood when I washed the side of my face. I was just shaking with fear. My knees are shrank. My eyes widened with curiosity. "No!" I whispered, shaking my head terribly. I felt my blood running down into my face. My eyes just widened in fear. "Mommy!" I turned to Andrie when he exclaim. He was crying and suffering. He was restless. I only hear a small voice from him. The man covered his mouth. Luckily the man didn't strangle him completely. He is coughing. My palms are only bloody. I thought he shot me? It's not! He released his gun from above. I stood up from my knees. My tears just fall. I shook my head. He bravely pointed the gun at my head again. His lips parted in annoyance. He wants to continue kill me. He wants to shoot me in the head. "Enough!" I turned to the man who came. My eyes widened in shock. Curiosity wraps me. I can't believe it. No! Daniel? One of Lucas's men. He was hol
