LOVE & REVENGE - CHAPTER 18
Lucas has been thinking on how to make Fiona like him but nothing seems to be coming to his head. Is he really in love with her or he just want to do what his father said?
Fiona is a pretty lady but does he really like her that way. What about her own feelings? But it would be fun to win against Alexander. Where did his hatred from Alex even start? Does he h@?? him with a reason or just because he feels thr_@tened around him or because his father doesn’t like him? How is he going to ask his father why he h@??d Alex.
He kept pacing around his room as he couldn’t come to terms with the reason behind their hatred for Alex. He brushed back his hair with his fingers and picked up his phone to call someone but a call came in instead from a strange number asking him to meet up with her.
As soon as he dropped the phone a message containing the address came in and he started dressing up.
He came downstairs looking so hot in His bad boy outfit and the maids couldn’t help but stare at him with different thoughts running through their minds.
🗣If hotness was a person, then it should be boss
🗣 Black looks good on him.
🗣 He looks like a demi god
🗣 I love his hairstyle
🗣 I love his baddie outfit
🗣 If only he would notice me.
Lucas smiled and turned to the person that made the last statement and the girl started picking on her nails out of nervousness.
“My room. 10pm” he whispered in her ear touching her hair. He stood straight and left with that sly smile plastered on his face.
FEW MOMENTS LATER
Lucas arrived at the address on his phone. It was a bar, he looked around for any suspicious person but found none. He headed inside and ordered a drink. Few minutes later a lady joined him and ordered a drink too. He turned around to see Evelyn smiling at him.
“Where you the one that called me here? He asked
“Yes”. Evelyn replied simply and sipped her drink
“What is the problem and how did you even get my number. I don’t remember giving it to you” Lucas asked looking at her suspiciously
“I have my way Lucas” Evelyn said
“What is it? Why did you ask me to meet up? Lucas asked getting impatient
“Calm down Lucas. I called you here because we can help each other to get what we want” Evelyn replied
“And you think I will be interested in working with you? Lucas said and stood up to leave
“Then I guess I should Just get rid of Fiona, how about that? Evelyn asked and Lucas stopped on his tracks
“Touch her and you are dead” Lucas warned
“Then work with me to separate them. I want Alex and you want Fiona. I don’t even know why she came back. I was beginning to get close to Alex hoping he would fall for me. Hoping he would love me” Evelyn said
“So he never loved you, ?îtçh? Lucas asked
“And you couldn’t see that, idiot? Evelyn replied with an eye roll
“I’ve always known you to be a desperate ?îtçh. You think wh@??ver you are going to do will make Alex love you” Lucas asked
“As long as it will separate them. Just follow my lead” Evelyn said and Lucas chuckled before coming closer to her.
“You are pathetic” he whispered into her ears and walked out of the bar.
Evelyn smirked and continued drinking.
‘If I can’t have him then we both should loose him. Fiona, i’m not going to let you win this time’ Evelyn thought.
🎀ROBERT’S HOUSE🎀
Lucas entered the house and headed straight to his father’s room. On arriving door, he heard some voices inside the room and one familiar voice caught his attention.
Wow! Wonders shall never cease to occur.
He never imagined in his life that betrayals are real until now. It now that he understands that betrayals doesn’t hurt because of what happened, it hurts because of the person who betrayed you. Betrayal always comes from a friend.
If friends could betray you, then how much more someone else.
‘Things just became easier. Alex, you won’t know what hit you’ Lucas thought and turned around and left the house.
On his way, he called Fiona and asked her to meet up with him because it is an important emergency.
🎀FIONA’S RESIDENCE🎀
Fiona stood before the mirror In her room putting a final touch to her makeup. She look so hot right now that no man would pass by her without taking a second look.
Earlier on she received a call from Lucas asking her to meet up and after thinking about it, she decided to go and see him.
She went to Hailey’s room but she wasn’t around.
‘Oh, I forgot she went for job hunting’
“miss Fiona, where are you off to? Jayden asked as he came out of his room
“I’m going to meet a friend” Fiona replied with a smile
“Okay. You’ve been smiling too much lately. What’s the secret? Jay asked
“I’m going to see Gemini today” Fiona said smiling like a kid who just got her favorite candy.
“I can see how much you cherish him. .maybe you should go and beg Mr. Alex again. He might reconsider. Who knows” Jay said with a shrug and Fiona smiled sadly.
“I have tried Jay but he doesn’t want to see me. I won’t blame him that much. I might do worse if I were in his shoes” she said
Since Alex sent her out of the house, she has been looking for ways to make him see how much she wanted to help solve the problem on ground.
She wants to get all the evidence she needs against whoever it is that is causing them problems. She equally wants to find out why her mother badly wants her to be with Lucas instead of Alex.
She went to her fridge to pack up some fruits for Gemini.
Since she left Alex’s house, she has been secretly going to Gemini’s school to visit him and give him some fruits. That is how much she have come to love the cute boy.
She decided to go see Gem first before meeting with Lucas.
As she drove out of her house, she noticed a car coming behind her few minutes after she drove out. At first, she thought it was some random person going their own way but when car kept following closely, she knew she was being followed.
She quickly picked up her phone and called Hailey. For the first time, her call was bounced and she wondered why. Hailey has always answered her call at the first ring. What changed? Now she has no one else to call.
Her mind went to Lucas but she changed her mind and decided to speed up.
The car following her also kept up with her.
She became more confused that she had to slow down and pretended to check her tires to see if the car would stop too and to her surprise, the car stopped.
After checking her car, she went back in and decided to head straight to Lucas as she didn’t want to endanger Gemini’s life.
🔪
As she arrived at the address Lucas sent to her, she went in and sat down after looking around without seeing Lucas.
She felt eyes on her when she sat down but saw no suspicious person after looking around. She brought out her phone and tried calling Hailey again but her call was bounced the second time and she became scared.
What if something happens?
Having no other choice, she decided to try her luck and called Alex and he picked on the first ring. She got his number from Gemini.
Immediately Alex heard Fiona’s voice, he hung up the call and Fiona sighed out in frustration.
She sent countless messages but all of them were unread. She called again and the phone was switched off.
Few minutes later, a waiter walked up to her and mistakenly spilled her drink on her. She immediately apologized and brought out a towel to clean it up.
The waiter left after cleaning her up and Fiona felt that something was off. She stood up to leave and Lucas chose that time to arrive.
“I’m sorry, I kept you waiting. I was caught up in the traffic. I hope you didn’t wait for a long time” Lucas asked as he sat down.
“It’s a good thing you are here. I was about leaving” Fiona said
“Would you like to order a drink? Bills on me” Lucas asked and Fiona shook her head negatively.
“Why? A little drink won’t hurt. Pregnant women do drink sometimes” Lucas said and Fiona looked at him as if he grew two heads overnight
“I am not pregnant women. I am Fiona and I won’t drink. Thank you” Fiona said and Lucas raised his hands in surrender.
“Why did you call me here” Fiona asked looking around as she still felt eyes on her.
“Looking for someone? Lucas asked as he noticed the way her eyes was moving around the whole place
“None of your business. Say why you called me here let me leave” Fiona said and Lucas’ mouth formed an “O”
“Have you seen Evelyn recently? Lucas asked
“No, why?
“She saw me at the somewhere recently and she offered to work with me to separate you and Alex. I don’t know what she is planning but I know she is a desperate person. I just want you to be careful. You should tell Alex too. Not like I care about him tho. I’m only concerned about you”
“Why are you telling me this?
“Because I like you and I don’t want you to get hurt” Lucas said and Fiona rolled her eyes
“If that is all, can I leave now? Fiona said and stood up
She noticed the car that was following her parked outside the restaurant but she ignored it and drove off tho she was panicking inside.
Immediately she left, the person at the back seat of the car rolled down the glass and it was none other than…
