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.
Eve was wearing a mermaid dress that sparkles under the rays of the midnight moon. This was the first time that Lucas saw her in a formal dress. And he found it hard to breathe normally as he stares at her beauty. Tonight is the moment he saw her the most beautiful. And when a smile broke on her cherry lips, he couldn’t contain himself anymore. In long strides, he crossed the distance that separates them and pulled her in his arms. “I had long been waiting for you-” Eve’s words were cut off by Lucas’s sudden action. She didn’t expect that when she was within his reach, he would immediately grab her shoulders and jail her in his embrace. She was stunned by his hard breaths. “L-Lucas… Why are you…” Again, he cut her off. Pulling her even tighter, Lucas told her. “Don’t move. Don’t push me away, baby. Let us stay for a while like this. I want to feel you…” His voice sounded hoarse but it only made him sound even sexier. As if, he’s trying to
As soon as Lucas was gone along with the police, Eve burst into a loud sob. she gripped on the cold metal railings before her, as she felt her strength being drained away from her. A whimper even escaped her lips as her abdomen suddenly caused excruciating pain, making her clutch at her tummy. “Ahh!” she groaned in pain, gritting her teeth to endure it. but she just can’t. From a distance, she heard an approaching footstep and someone calling her name. “Eve! Are you ok?!” Shia was panicking when she was near her, immediately holding her arms for assistance. Eve glanced at her, nodding weakly as she forced a smile. but even smiling was hard. “I’m fine,” she grumbled. However, Shia’s worried expression didn’t fade. It only even worsens as she looked down at her dress. In a croaky voice, she says, “Eve. I don’t think you’re fine. Your dress…” Eve looked at her dress that Shia was staring at with widened eyes. and like her, her eyes froze too
Six years later… Vis, Croatia. “Eve, it's really a shame you aren’t a model. You’ve got the perfect curves and looks but…” Edward shook his head and sat beside her. The disappointment in his face was always there every time he talks about her being a perfect model. Yet, she always rejects him. Grinning, Eve got up and sat as she turned her back to him. He immediately understood what she wanted thus, he started to wipe off the sand that stick to her skin. And though he did it willingly, there was a frown on his face. “This is why I don’t like you lying on the beach almost naked. You’re ruining your skin for god’s sake!” Eve chuckled at his remark, slightly glancing at him just enough to see his knotted brows. “You know what, if I didn’t know you, I would have called you a pervert. Aren’t you aware that you always kept staring at my body every time I wear a bikini?” Just then, he rolled his eyes but still smiled guiltily. He knew what she said wa
