Chapter 1

Moon light as the only source of light entering the otherwise dark room through the window.. A girl with long blonde hair was turning back and forth in her bed.. Her body covered in sweat.. She jerked up on the bed panting

Athy's P. O. V.

Haah... Haah... I Sat up on my bed panting.. My body covered in sweat.. It's that same nightmare again... My heart felt heavy and I felt suffocated.. But it went back to normal when a small hand touched my lap.. I turned to my side and see my world sleeping peacefully. My baby Austin.. My son.. My only family, love, my everything..

It's all started two months ago.. No , to be exact.. One and a half year ago..

- - - - the words in Italian are past events - - - - - - -

The first time I met him was at a bar in texas..where I played violin because the owner of the bar grandpa max asked me to.. He was the most handsome, attractive guy I have ever seen.. My heart thumped faster as soon as our eyes met, he also seemed to be interested in me.. I thought it was just a one night stand with a guy I got attracted to ..

We were both drunk and wasn't in our right mind.. After that night I had never saw him again.. I never had one night stands in my life.. But he was just irresistible.. I thought we wouldn't meet again..

But my life turned upside down.. After that.. I got pregnant with his child.. I was so shocked at first , but not to the level when I came to know who he is... After the shocking revelation that I was pregnant, I tried looking for him..

Actullay I wasn't sure if I have to do that.. But Helena, my best friend insisted on doing that.. We searched for him with the only information I asked him that night.. His name... Lucas..

Then I found out his full Name is lucas Blackford.. He is the second son of a most influential family in korea..

He is the grandson of the Owner of JB corporations Langston Blackford.. So i decided not to tell him.. It's just a one night stand for both of us.. He must have someone setted by his family to marry and this news would be the last thing he might wants to hear.. And I didn't want to hear any insult about me or my child from him or his family.

So I raised Austin on my own.. It's not that difficult.. I am a violin player.. Violin was the thing I learned from my mother when she was alive.. The only thing I loved to do before austin was born.. Then he became my number one favourite.. I used to play at music concerts as a concert Master ..

I am quiet good at playing violin so I didn't struggled for money.. During my pregnancy I stopped doing concerts and teached children to play violin ..

That also payed me well and I had a peaceful time.. No words can define the amount of happiness I had when austin was born after eight hours of labor pain.. He was the most precious one to me..

When he slowly opened his eyes crying out his lungs , He had my sapphire eyes which glittered from the tears pooled in his eyes His silky black hair, those long beautiful eyelashes ,that attractive beauty mark under his eyes..

he is the carbon copy of lucas except his eyes.. I felt like God gifted him with every thing I found attractive on his dad.. Though I miss That deep fire like red eyes which pulled me like a magnet .. I would be sad if my son didn't had something like me so I am glad he has my eyes.. My pretty boy.. Austin was my happiness, my Light, my everything.. Life was so peaceful until he entered in the frame again.. . . . . .

One day when I came back home from my work .. He was standing outside of my house in his motorbike looking stunning..

I felt my heart skipping a beat again.. This guys is really my weakness I think. But.. Wait.. What is he doing here...?!! It clicked to me late, as I was first so dazed to meet him again

I was so shocked to see him standing there.. As soon as he saw me he rushed towards me.. I can still remember that day like yesterday.. The day we met again

" you.. What are you doing here..?"

I asked shocked and he took off his sunglasses and glared at me... I got chills down my spine.. He is menacing.. I flinched and took a step back when he took a step forward..

" why the fuck you didn't tell me...?" he asked ruffling his hair frustrated .

"wh..what..?" I asked stuttered.. Don't tell me.. Is he taking about austin..?

" that you were pregnant with my child.." he said totally pissed..

I looked around and my neighbour aunties were staring at us..

" can we first go inside before my neighbours surround us..?" I asked and he sighed

"come inside first" I said opening the door and we entered the house..

" what you are exactly angry about..?"

I asked folding my hands.. It may be wrong that I hide it from him but the way he reacted just now tells me , i did a good job not telling him.. So I won't ask sorry for my act.

" you should have told me when you found out "

he mumbled gritting his teeth..he is frustrating me..

"and what you would have did..?"

I asked and he glared at me the expression in his face was something I can't read.. It's almost blank but hold something..

" I would have compelled you to abort"

he said in a blank tone and my hands dropped from my fold and I stared at him appalled

"what..?" I shouted at him pissed

" you shouldn't have give birth to him.." he said and that's it..

Slap

His eyes wided in shock when I slapped him hard on his cheek.. My blood was boiling because of his words.. How could he say something like that ...?

" you.."

"shut up.. He is my son and don't talk another word about him like that.. How can you even say something like that..? get lost .. I don't want to see you for one more second.. I didn't tell you because I don't want to bother you.. And I won't in the future too.. He is my son and we would never disturb you in the future.. So never say something like that again in front of me.. Please get lost.. "

I Shouted and went inside the room shutting the door carefully not to woke him up.. When I saw austin who was sleeping peacefully my heart felt heavy.. I felt so guilty that because of my mistake austin have a bad father.. I cried whole night because that's how much I hated the situation.. I was determined that I would never let him meet austin in future..

After that day.. I saw him several times in my area but he wasn't trying to approach me or anything , he was just standing here and there.. I had no idea what the hell he was doing all the time standing in my area..

I also thought it's good and I ignored him.. Sometimes I felt like someone is following me but there would be nothing if I checked.. One day when I was running late from my concert, I was in a hurry cause helly said she would be late from her work and i was so worried about austin being alone in the daycare..

I was already running late and my car wasn't starting.. I took a taxi and hurried to the daycare.. When I entered, austin was crying.. I consoled him and when I came out.. The taxi was gone..

' I didn't even payed him money.. Where is he..?'

I thought as I looked around and I felt that again.. Someone watching me.. I realised that even though it's only seven no one is on the streets and it's darker than usual due to winter.. I covered austin well with the scarf as I hugged him tight.. Austin wasn't the fan of stroller.. So I always just carry him in my arms.. I also feel happy doing that.. I started walking fast.. And I felt the sound of foot steps increasing.. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned back startled ..

" Haah...you scared the shit out of me... What do you want..?" I shouted irritated.. And his face is blank.. Again

" why are you walking around alone on empty streets..?"

he asked irritated.. Oh my.. Look at this guy... I am the one who should be irritated.

" none of your business "I said and started walking again.. I can hear his footsteps behind me..

" why are you following me..? "

I asked pissed turning around and he looked more pissed than me..

" just go home already .. "

he said in a irritated tone.. I was so frustrated that I started walking fast and when I closed my door.. I saw him standing in distance staring at my house..

" What the hell is his problem today..? Did he hit his head somewhere..?" I mumbled as I walked inside..

After that.. There is this guy called cabel.. With brown hair.. He one day came and introduced himself as lucas 's friend and to my surprise he and helena were good friends.. But I never saw him before with her .. He started visiting us often he won't talk about lucas or anything related to him .. Cause he know I will get irritated whenever he mention that jerk..

Lucas' s visits to my area reduced and cabel also started coming very less often.. One day.. He was all serious as he Sat on the sofa before me.. Deep in his thoughts..

"athy.. Do you know why lucas often visit this area ..?"

he asked in a serious tone.. No matter what tone he use, the thought of him irritates me..

"why else other than to piss me..?"

I asked irritated. He took a long breathe before dropping that bomb in my head.

He said lucas family wasn't just bigshots in business they were like a secret underground gang and every big shot businessmen of Korea were related to them.

They were already in the middle of fight for hierarchy and because of this there were so many death threats coming to lucas and they received the information about me and austin through one of their enemies who is trying to kill Lucas... That's why lucas often stay in this area in case any danger will come to us..

After hearing everything from cabel.. I felt a bit dizzy.. That's too much information for me.. And what scared me to death was the reality of austin being in danger... I felt my body trembling.. I don't know what to do that after cabel left I locked myself in my room.. Sat on my bed dazed...that day I realised how big mess of a life I made it for austin and I felt so guilty..

that night someone ringed the calling bell and my heart beated faster.. I slowly got up from the bed and austin started crying.. I carried him in my arm and patted his back as I slowly walked towards the door..

When I opened the door lucas was standing there panting.. My heart dropped down in fear. He suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me outside then we started running away in his car.. Everything happened so fast that I don't know what to do. He suddenly unbuckled my seat belt and pulled me outside.

. I hugged austin who is sleeping amidst all of this tight with one hand as lucas grabbed my other hand and we started running on a dark alley .. I felt so exhausted from everything and I was so pissed at lucas.. At some point I can't run anymore.. My legs trembled.. I let go of his hand and stood there panting.. He turned back and sighed breathing heavily..

" what's going on..? Why are we running away.?" I asked and he let out another sigh

"I don't have time to explain everything..first come with me.."

he said grabbing my hand again and dragged me towards an abandoned house .. I was so pissed.. I don't want to run around in the middle of the night With a seven months old baby in my hand.. It's so cold..

What if austin catches cold..? Or what if something big happen to him..? He didn't even let me cover him with anything.. I let go of his hand again and was about to remove my cardigan..

But he pressed my hand on my shoulder with his hand telling me to stop and he took off his denim jacket and put it over austin.. He was only wearing a white shirt and it's snowing heavily .. I looked up at his blank face which looked even more unhumane because he was pale.. So pale like a vampire.. He looked behind me his eyes focused on something.. Then he suddenly pulled me and we crouched behind a fence..

Screech....bang...

The sound of a car crashing the steel gate in the front was the only sound I can hear .. When I looked up tilting my head.. He pushed my head Down..and nodded his head a no..then a group of big men came out of the car..

They looked like gangsters.. And when I peeked at them through the gap in the fence they all had weapons and guns in their hand... My whole body shivered.. I hugged austin as tight as possible prayed to the God that austin should sleep until I go back home safe.. If he cry now.. we are doomed..

I hated myself for being such a bad mother, risking my child's life like this .. I hated everything.. All my hate turned towards lucas who put us in this situation.. Tears started dribbling down from my eyes as my gaze was fixated on thier weapons.. When they splitted to search for us , lucas slowly stood up and helped me ... I pushed his hand away as soon as I got up..

" What the hell is going on here..? What if something happen to Austin..? I hate you lucas...I never want to see you again.. I want to go home .. I don't want to be here.."

I shouted at him and when my eyes met his.. He looked sad.. He didn't said anything back and was looking somewhere else.. Because of that look in his eyes I didn't said anything after that.. We stood there silently for about five minutes..

He pushed me inside the garage of that abandoned house in the corner of the street where we were standing .. His eyes were fixated on the road which I can't see anything.. It's so dark inside the garage he closed the door only leaving a small gap for air ..

Suddenly I heard people running towards us and fighting sounds... My heart was beating like crazy.. And it stopped beating for a moment when I heared a gunshot sound..then there was a silence..

My hands were trembling that I can't even hold the door properly.. It's suddenly opened and I took few steps backward frightened.. Lucas stood there panting.. His hands and face covered in blood..i felt so guilty for yelling at him few minutes ago... He stared at me and called me outside.. I slowly walked towards him and he can't even stand still..
