Chapter 7

" You are acting like this because of her. .right..?"

she said as she started walking towards me... I can't guess what this insane woman is going to do but lucas as if he teleported swiftly moved to my side catched  her hand Before it reach my cheek.. Wait... was she about to slap me..?!

" if  you dare to  touch her, I will bury you alive... "

he said in a low deep  voice and I literally  got chills  down my spine... I look at her and she must have felt the same.. She removed her hand from his grip and rushed  outside...

We stared at her silently.. I looked back at him.. His eyes hold so many emotions while staring at her.. It's rage.. Pain.. Just what did she did for her own son to feel this much hatred towards her..?!! As I was staring at him worried.. He let out a deep sigh letting out  all his frustration and turned towards me..

He looked tired and fed up.. This poor  guy.. I patted his head gently like it's default a reaction... I feel weak inside whenever he stare  at me  with this lost puppy face... He really have nothing other than stress in his  life..

"are you OK..? Take few deep breathes if you still feel bad.."

I said and he stared at me silently... Lucas have this habit of staring at me instead of  replying at times . I don't know why, may be he wasn't good with words.. He isn't a  talker..

So I also won't talk if he do that and I always end  up staring back at those deep red orbs.. No matter how many times  I stares at them .. I always feel like pulled   into them... Come to your senses athy...

I walked back and Sat in the couch  and he followed me .. He Sat beside facing me   and  suddenly leaned his head on  my shoulder.. My heart skipped a beat.. I froze  for a minute  then I  slowly patted his head ..

" aren't I should be the one asking you that..? Why are you always asking me First.? "

He mumbled burying his face on my neck.. His hot  breathe hit my skin making me flinch.

"because it would take ages for you  to start a conversation .. Talk a bit more for God's sake.." I said and he was silent again

"I am sorry if she did something to hurt you .."

he said in a low voice  as he slowly sit straight.. Suddenly my shoulder felt  empty..

"don't be.. And I am not hurt..  I am... Yeah...i was Irritated ..."

I said  stroking his hair with my  fingers ..

" she kept on talking nonsense for half an hour..i was thinking about what she eats that she have this much stamina  and I was so bored.. Thankfully  you came on the right time but, how did you show up...?" I asked and he smiled at  me..  That small smile ... He is feeling  better now.. That's enough for me

" I thought you may have called me mistakenly but I  still checked the cctv and saw her car outside " he said

" so you rushed back home ..?!!  "I asked and he nodded a yes... Aww.. Look at my caring  husband..!!

" I don't know she would show up suddenly  like this.. Sorry." he said letting out  another sigh.

" you are the one who  got hurt by her.. Why are you apologising to me ..? Like I said I am really OK" I said and he stared at me...again..

" did she told you anything..?" He asked irritated.

" nope..but i can feel that " I said and he was looking down deep in thoughts..

"I don't know  what happened but I already hate her.. She was so annoying..next time If  she show up I am  Gonna call helly"

I said and he looked  up at me confused

"why..?" he asked

" she  have a PhD in cursing  people.. That way I can  let out my frustration" I said and he giggled.. Look at how  beautiful he is  when smiling..!! Aww.. My heart.!!

" actually I am also  good at cursing" he said smiling.

"you won't curse at  me right..?" I asked and he put a strand of hair behind my ear.. And stared at  me.. Since we are so close.. I once again got  mesmerised by those  beautiful eyes

"hmm.. I would never" he said smiling  and I smiled at him.

" I don't even consider her as my mother but she always show up like this and annoy me.."

he said and there was a silence after that. I let him take his time since it  seems  something complicated  for him to talk about ...

" My dad was decided as the next head even though he is second son.. Cause grandpa thought he is  capable.. Everything was going well.. Dad is my favourite person in the world .. My first best friend.. My role model and everything..

My mom always used to neglect me but dad filled that gap by being both mother and father to me... When I was ten years old.. Dad suddenly got so depressed and sick.. And then his condition gradually worsened and he died when I was eleven.. At that time not even once mom cared about him or even stayed by his side.. I thought she was like that because  she hate us.. But it turns out she betrayed us long ago...

Levon and I have two years age gap.. Everyone in the family know that his mother died while giving birth to him.. That's what uncle told everyone , a child from His secret lover.. But.. "

He stopped and I can felt the pain in his eyes..he let out  a long sigh before continuing..

" but the day before my dad died he told me everything.. Levon's biological mother was actually my mom... He isn't my cousin but step brother.. My mom cheated on my dad with his brother from the start.. My dad got so stressed by that betrayal that he become ill from depression after finding  the truth..

I stopped considering her as my mom after that day and I never once talked to her after that.. Whenever she talk to me like I am in her  control  we would end up fighting.

After my dad died ,my grandpa flopped their plan by saying he will continue to be the head and will appoint one of his grandsons as the next head.. From that day.. They are still trying to get rid of me.. "

he said and I was so shocked... I  know something big happened but I never thought it would be this worse..

"your grandpa didn't punish them ..?  Did he knew about this..?" I asked.

" hmm.. He must have known this.. But he is pretending like he don't.. That's why I am  disappointed in  him.. He was letting go of those trashes just because they are his family.. Haah.. What nonsense..? Then my dad wasn't his son.? He wouldn't have died of depression  if he did something about that don't you think...? "

he said as he stared at  me... I felt an urge to hug and console  him.. His eyes are filled with hurt and  pain.

"  hmm.. You are right.. Being blind to bad people just because he need them is worse than the bad people themselves.. "I said and he nodded a absent minded yes.

" since I was so mad at him I left the house when I was twelve.. I caused trouble for him and did everything he hate.. These tattoos.. My ear piercing.. I did everything  he hate.. When he got so fed up with me..

He once called me home and handed me a letter.. It's from my dad.. It's his request to grandpa  to take care of me if something happens to him..

Then he told me to take over the business and that would be the perfect revenge for them, then he sent me abraod to study business.. When I came back he handed me one of his company and asked me to manage it..

The moment I set foot on Korea.. They started bothering me again.. They attempted to kill me several times .. And they  will continue to do So, don't allow anyone from my family other than grandpa and if they ever bothered you.. Tell me immidiately.. "

he told me staring straight at me.. Those eyes which always hold honesty is something i love about him..

" hmm.. "I said nodding my head and he smiled ..

" what would you  have did if I didn't come here.? "he asked ... He suddenly looks like he is in good mood.

" I was already fed up with her.. So I would have kicked her out myself " I said and he raised one of his eyebrow..

" you think I can't..? "I asked and he chuckled..

" hmm.. She isn't that easy to handle and you aren't that type of girl.. "he said

" hmm.. That type of girl..? Then what type of girl am I..? "I asked  and he just stared at  me 

" you zone out way too much lucas "

I said and he smiled. This jerk.. Why isn't he answering ..?  I am too curious to let this slide.

" hey tell me... Hmm.? I am curious "I asked nudging him with puppy eyes.

" sunshine.. " he mumbled..

" huh...? "

" you are like sunshine.. "

he said and then his mobile rang he got up to attend the call...

" you are like sunshine.. "

Bathump... Bathump... My mind recalled his words again and again playing it on repeat mode and my heart is beating faster.

Everything he says affects me in such a way that I am gonna take his every words with me to the grave ..wait.. i think  I know this feeling.. !!!

He came back after a while and I am still in daze...

"sia.."

"hmm..?" I asked looking up

"I will get going.. See you later " he said and went out..

"hmm.. Bye" I said waving my hand as I watched him leaving..

OK athy come to your senses.. I went to my room and started folding austin 's clothes.. Everything he said rewinded in my mind.. He really went through a lot.. No wonder he has such a cold attitude.. But his smile is really heart throbbing

.

.

It's going well after lucas' s mom's visit.. After that she didn't come  and as usual lucas was busy with his works.. And another thing I found burdensome is.. Lucas's overprotectiveness..

That's what helly told me when I lamented about everything  to her.. He won't allow me to go to concerts even with the driver he appointed.. He always picks up and  drops me  no matter how busy  he is..

He once pushed his work aside and stayed at home to take care of austin since I had a full day work..yeah  I feel safe and happy  but I sometimes feel like I am being a burden to him.. Today too.. He dropped me to my workplace  ..

He is  looking after austin since he and cabel are working  from home.. Yep.. I won't call Sundays their holiday since they just work from home that day..

This is one of the biggest musical  event ,so I and my colleagues were separated and assigned  a junior group to guide .. It's been a week since they were  rehearsing under  my guidance and  they all are so cute... They are cheerful and always full of energy..

- - - - - - p. O. V.. Ends- - - - -

Athy entered the music hall and everyone smiled at her.. The team she was assigned to was freshers in music academy  and they first got surprised by how pretty she was.. Then got stunned when she started playing violin . They felt so lucky to get assigned under a prodigy who is easy going .. Even thier professors can't stand her level of talent ...

They all loved her so much and she became a huge crush for all the  boys and even girls...they all finished thier rehearsal..

"good job guys... Keep playing like that.. " athy said as she stood up from her seat ..everyone went out to take a break.

" unnie .." one of her teammates  called her and athy turned back.. Since  She was  easy going  she told them to be casual and call her unnie (sister)

" can't you spend some time with us..? You always go back home as soon as rehearsal ends.. Please spend some time with us.. We can't even meet often once the concert is over."

her students  pleaded and athy smiled at them...

"hmm.. OK then..." she said as she walked towards them.. Her high heels making tip  top sound while she walked towards them...looking so elegant that everyone stared at her with admiration ...

"ok..let's chat for sometime... I am also waiting  for someone.."

She said sitting amidst  them  on the stairs .. They all were munching their snacks chatting..

"oh my holy shit...!! Look  at that guy.!!."

one of the girls said gasping.. Every one's  attention turned towards the entrance where a tall guy with raven hair was standing leaning on his car..

'lucas came huh..but helly isn't still out.. Guess I have  to wait more .. ' athy thought.

" oh my God..!!  Who is he..? Looks like he is waiting for someone.. He look so hot, handsome, dreamy.!!" another girl said with heart eyes.

'pfft...lucas would  look a bit cute in  casual , I am now bored of the reaction he gets for being a handsome devil in formals , he is like  a magnet , No matter wherever  we go I can see  atleast one girl gawking at him  or sighting him from afar.. Haah... Still  it's fun,  these  reactions for his  casual look are  fresh ? Pfft ..these girls are cute . ' athy thought and giggled.

( lucas and athy outfit)

"athy sis.. What do you think of that guy..? Isn't he too handsome...?"  one of the girls said squeeling.

"hmm.. He is indeed handsome. Isn't  he..?"  athy said  smiling and they all nodded a yes excited

"and hot... He is smoking hot.. His tatooss.. I Think he might be of your age athy unnie .. "

" hmm.. He might be ..." she said smiling  and they all stared at  her and then at lucas then at her..

"pfft.. What's  wrong with you all...?". She asked giggling as  she found their actions  cute...

"unnie  what's your ideal type..?"

One of the girls asked and when athy was about to say something.. Helly arrived at the scene .

" athy... I am done, let's go... Huh.. What are you guys  chatting about..?!! Lemme join .." helly said sitting beside athy.. And the girls giggled.

" helly unnie.. See that oppa  over there.. We are talking  about him.."

one of the girls said pointing at lucas with her eyes.. Helly saw him and looked back at athy and athy  giggled.

" what are you guys taking about him..?" helly asked..

" we are just sighting at him.. He is so handsome... And hot... " one of the girls said with dreamy expression and helly stared at  athy.

"and what are you doing with them...?" she asked

"what else.. Unnie is also sighting at him with us.. Helly unnie don't you think Athy   unnie and that oppa will  Make a stunning  pair.. Right ..?"  that girl talked on behalf of athy and she was smiling at her..

"athy noona.. Do you also like that hyung ..?" one of the boys asked pouting and she giggled.

" hmm.. I like him.. Why are you asking..?" she asked giggling.. The girls smiled excited and but the boys were pouting..

" oh my God .!!  Unnie you like him...?!! You should try to hit on him.. "one of the girls said shooking athy's hand and athy  can't stop laughing...

" yeah..you two would look awesome.. !!  Aww.. It would be good if we know  that oppa's name.."one of the girls said.

" Lucas.. His name is Lucas blackford " athy  said giggling.

" huh.. You know him...?!! "

the girls and boys asked in  unison with a dramatic surprised  expression which athy and helly found adorable as they were giggling  looking  at them ..

" of course she  knows him.. Athy, why are you sighting at your own husband with these brats.? " helly asked 

"  it's fun how these kids  were sighting at him so I thought I can also have some fun.." athy said and smiled.

"wait.. What's going on here..?!! Noona you are married..?!! " one of the boys asked

"yep,  she even has a seven months old  baby "

helly shrugged and athy  nodded a yes. Everyone  gasped looking at her..

"  and that handsome oppa is your husband..?!!" one of the girls asked

"yes he is.. I will get going guys.. It's so fun spending time  with you... Bye everyone .. Go back  home safely  " athy said as she got up..

"wow.. Unnie... This is such a surprise for all of us..!! But we are so happy..!! You have such a handsome husband.." they said smiling..

"thank you.. I will get going.. See you later guys."

she said waving them bye as  helly and her started walking towards lucas ..

"unnie..." one of the girls called her and athy turned back.

"what  baby you have..?". She asked  and athy smiled...

"a boy baby" she said smiling

"his name..?"

"Austin... Austin blackford " she said

"next time if you can.. bring him with you.. We all want to see him..." they said with puppy eyes and athy giggled.

"hmm.. I will " she said and gave them a final bye before walking back to lucas. 

The girls stared at them from afar talking..

"they are such a stunning couple aren't they..?!!!"

"yep, made for each other.!!." another girl said  and they stared at them with heart eyes..

"yeah.. It's sad that to know  athy noona  is married but yeah ,they do look so good .." one of the boys mumbled..
