“Have you asked Shai?” Lucas shook his head as he looked down at the floor. He frustratedly combed his hair between his long fingers, pulling it at the back of his head. It had been hurting since the morning he woke up and found that Eve was gone. Seeing his reaction, Simon tapped his shoulder. Still, Lucas gave no response. “I will call her.” He was gone for a while, only to return with a hopeless expression. when Lucas looked up at him, he already knew his answer. He stood up, grabbed his black jacket from the sofa, and walked towards the door. “Where are you going?!” Simon hurriedly asked, worried that he might be thinking of intruding on Eve’s father's mansion. Fortunately, he got it wrong. Lucas shortly replied. “I’ll look for her in Piacere. She might be there.” “Then, I’ll go with you,” Simon suggested and even without his agreement, he get his car key and went with him. Simon thought Lucas was following but when he sensed th

Sorrowful yet beautiful eyes brimming with tears stared at Lucas and the familiarity of him with it brought him the same amount of pain it held. At first, he was angry. Indeed, he’s been madly furious of the impatient waiting he spent for her. however, now that she was standing right before him, he couldn’t utter even a single complaint or scolding. He was supposed to reprimand her. or even punish her for making him anxiously wait. Yet, how could he do that when she showed up at his door, drenched not only in the cold rain but also in tears? When her eyes held overwhelming pain and melancholia he never expected her to show to him? Immediately, without even him noticing, his dark expression softened. “Lucas…” Eve muttered, almost whimpering as she choked up with her own tears. She immediately run into his arms that Lucas opened for her, sensing she needed it. she was engulfed in a warm and protective embrace, where she felt the safest and warmed. Her

Lucas had long desired Eve. But besides desire, there’s something more he felt towards her that made him patiently wait for her until now. Though a month wasn’t long enough for others, for Lucas, it was a lifetime. He had never waited for a woman like this before. Since getting anyone can be as easy as snapping a finger. In one second, women he wanted would serve themselves to him. run towards him. But how could those other women compare to Eve? And that was also the reason why he had already prepared, though unconsciously, to wait for her. until finally, she’d fall for him too. So, when Lucas heard what Eve just said, he was totally caught off guard. Though it was torturous, he had been suppressing his feelings and desire for her. but that didn’t mean he won’t stop until she finally gave in. just that, he didn’t expect that that day would be today. His raven black eyes bore into her through the mirror. He stared at her face. waiting for anything from her

Eve almost hated the thought of opening her eyes. Every inch of her body screams pain. And how can it not to when Lucas had made sure to own her completely, sucking her dry? She cannot believe he’s such a beast! He probably never even thought of stopping not unless she cannot move completely. Struggling to open her eyes after being tickled by hot breathing near her face, Eve was stunned. If she hated opening her eyes a while ago, now she regretted not doing it earlier. Since if she didn’t, she must have missed this beautiful scene. Beside her, cocooning in the bed, was Lucas. His arms like usual were securely wrapped around her, either protecting her or being possessive of her. he was in his most serene state as if, he wasn’t a bit exhausted from last night’s escapade. “How unfair! He totally enjoyed last night, did he? For him to have a smile even in his sleep…” With that thought, Eve sneered. Yet, she cannot help caressing Lucas’ face. His thick brows. His long lashes tha

It was awkward the dining area. Though that awkwardness will only be felt by Simon later than the two couple who totally didn’t expect his arrival. Lucas was even more frustrated since he prepared these foods for Eve. Yet, right now, it seemed as if, his hateful friend was about to gobble it all. “D-do…do you want more?” Eve asked Simon, who’s plate was already empty from the Italian Ravioli. Excited by her offer, Simon’s eyes glimmered like a star when Eve was about to push her own plate of it towards him. It’s not every day that he tasted Lucas’ food. Though he cooks for himself, he doesn’t usually cook an extra for him. So ungrateful of him after he fulfilled every wish and needs he have! “Thank you, Eve! You’re really the best sister-in-law!” He reached for the plate. He was about to move it in front of him when another hand reached for it. Simon glared at the man and for once, he felt competing with Lucas. Eve, in the other hand, could not believe these two grown men
