Lucas;I stare at my injury in the mirror. It’s healing up nicely. Finally, it almost… almost doesn’t hurt any more. My phone starts buzzing, and I walk out of the bathroom to my bed. I’m about to pick it up, but I freeze when I see the name.Elias.My heart skips a beat on seeing the name. Since the incident with David… I haven’t called, spoken to, or seen him. I have no idea how he is, or even what he’s been up to. I don’t know if I’m angry at him or guilty for turning him down. But I just haven’t been able to bring myself to see him.I don’t love him…I’ve loved Sal for so many years, and he knows it. I thought I wouldn’t be able to fall for anyone else, but here I am. I fell for David, too. Elias would surely hate me for this, but I can’t justify what I can not explain. I fell in love with David and Sal.It just happened…The phone stops ringing, and just when I think I can take a breath, it starts ringing again. It’s another call from him.If I don’t take his call, he’s most

Elias;“I read something in a book once. It said… When the wind doesn’t blow your way, adjust your sails. And that, Lucas… Is exactly what you’ve done. For years, the wind didn’t blow your way, and like the intelligent young man you are… like the diplomatic, emotionally intuned person you are… You remembered that there is more than one way to skin a cat. If the front door wouldn’t open… You could always pass the back… or go through the window… You could always get to Sal through David…” I add, and his eyes widen.“What?!” He breathes in shock, and I smile at him before taking another sip of tea and finally setting my cup down on the coffee table between us. He watches in silence as I cross my legs and swallow the tea in my mouth.“Oh, you didn’t really think I wouldn’t figure it out, Lucas, did you?” I question, and he blinks at me with an open mouth.“You see… For days, I pondered. I wondered why… I have loved you for years… Given my heart to you for years and surrendered my all, bu

Lucas;“Where are you going?” Vanessa questions as soon as we’re about to leave the house, and we all turn back around. My eyes dart to Mrs. Lana, who was supposed to put her to bed. “I’m sorry. The kid’s like an automatic machine. She’s got no stop button. I tried.” She apologises, and I roll my eyes. Great. Now we’re going to be late for the meeting. David gets down on one knee and opens his arms to her. The little girl runs over and sits in his lap.“Going to work?” She questions, and he nods. “Can I come?” She questions, and he smiles as he adjusts her beanie. “A workplace isn’t a place for kids. You know that.” He replies, and he pouts. “Will you be out late?” She then questions, and David looks up at Sal and me. “I…” He begins, but Sal cuts him off as he moves closer and lifts Vanessa into his arms.“No, Queen. We’ll be back before you can say the word sesquipedalian.” He says, and I raise a brow.“Sesku… What’s that?” She questions in confusion, and Sal smirks as he pinc

David:We get to the entrance of the meeting hall, and one of the three bulky men at the doors raises a hand.“You all have to be searched before you go in.” He says, and I raise a brow. Sal steps forward and raises his hands, and behind him, Lucas does the same. Wait… they aren’t supposed to have weapons on them when going into a room filled with enemies and potential life threats??Sal looks at me, and perhaps he sees my confusion. “It’s protocol, David. Weapons aren’t allowed at such meetings. Only the guards carry them.” He explains, and I blink at him. “So you’re just meant to face your enemies defenceless??” I can’t help but demand in horror as I look between him and Lucas, and Lucas looks away like whatever I’m saying is none of his business. “I’m not defenceless,” Sal says, and I raise a brow. “Anything can be a weapon if you know how to use it right.” He says, and I blink in awe at the smirk on his lips. Does he have a plan?One of the guards starts searching him, and I

Lucas;I sit down on the next vacant seat beside Sal, and as I stare at him, my mind churns.If there’s one thing I’ve always admired about Sal, it’s how he’s always able to keep his cool in damning situations. Things you expect would rattle him, don’t. It’s either that, or he is exceptionally good at hiding his fear. And right now… Looking at the way his arm is wrapped around David’s waist, and how tightly he’s kept his grip latched, I understand.He is scared. But not for or about himself. Rather… he’s scared… for David.He doesn’t want David getting hurt. Is he even bothered about me? I’m here too… and he’s barely spared me a glance since we got in here. I don’t even know what I was expecting. Of course, he wouldn’t look here. I’m Lucas. I’m not his baby. I can take care of myself.I’m such a joke.“We called this meeting because you broke the rules that guard this territory,” Mara says, and my eyes move to her.“What rules are these?” Sal questions, and she grins her teeth. “
