Lucas lowered his head in shame, where did it not deserve it? If the man who didn't deserve to be there was right, that's Lucas ' belief. What this beautiful woman said is true. He skipped dinner only to spend time decorating a hotel room that ended up being thrown out into the street.
“Do you remember Luna Chasen?” The woman asked again with a new topic.
Lucas's body felt the blood flow stopped pumping the heart. "Lu-Na-Cha-Sen? Luna Chasen!”
Surprised, Lucas paused for a moment to exhale again calmly.
“Luna Chasen, the girl who is my junior in class?” he's starting to notice the details of the facial features the woman in front of him has now.
Luke almost forgot to close his eyes. “Where are your glasses?” he used to wear glasses all the time when he was in high school. He knew his younger brother who was always considered cute and geeky in their school days.
“I had myopia surgery, and I did it. I thought you had forgotten me, you don't remember my face?”
Luna deliberately made a sullen facial expression to pretend to be sad.
"Ah.” Lucas scratched his neck. “You changed so much, I even thought I was dating a famous model.”
Lucas's smile expands, between the pain in Harry's former punch. “Are you okay with your condition? Who would dare do that to you?” Luna grimaced in pain seeing some bruises appear to adorn Lucas ' face.
Lucas smiled faintly. “Someone I know.” His smile implies sadness. “So how do we discuss your reasons for greeting this shabby person.”
“I'm in trouble and need help. Because it's my life and death.” Luna's gaze looks serious.
What the woman needs from a pizza delivery man looks like, So sad look displayed Lucas.
“I need a husband.”
Lucas frowned. “Husband, but I'm not the one who opened the services of a dating agency, I don't know much either.”
Lucas's smile was bitter. “Even today I just broke up with my boyfriend because he cheated on me.”
Luna clapped her hands once. “Wow, great news.”
"Ha?” he's like a deaf man.
***
Lucas walks into a rundown house in an alley in a daze, Luna invites him to cooperate. But what kind of cooperation keeps them in marital status?
“You're already home, why are you home so early.” His mother's voice was surprised at Lucas ' arrival. “Aren't you staying with your girlfriend? How's Bianca, is she happy with your gift.”
Both ended up sitting on rickety chairs. The sound of the chair was a little weathered adding sound between their conversations.
“Why is your condition like this?”
Lize couldn't hide her worry for her son even though he was old enough to take care of himself. ” I'm all right, I just didn't get to see Bianca today, I'm a pickpocket, " he answered lying so smoothly.
Lize nodded understanding. “You go into the room, I'll deliver the medicine box immediately sleep after that.”
No response from Lucas.
“No matter what happens, at least you're safe.” That's what Lize said before Lucas disappeared behind the door.
Their house is not so spacious, even if you enter the house, their guests can see the living room and kitchen at the same time even two doors of their private rooms are immediately visible.
"Hmm.” Sigh. “I should have been able to give you a decent life as your father's biological son.” Lize looked at Lucas ' closed door full of regret.
Lize shows up in her son's room to focus on treating Lucas. “Does she know you're hurt?” Lize treats bruises carefully. Although it still produced a sick cry on Lucas ' face.
His eyes glanced elsewhere. “I didn't tell him.”
Lize hit her son's hand to complain.
“You are lovers, you have to tell each other so that your communication is good. What beautiful woman would accept you if you weren't Bianca.” Omel Lize, judge the son.
That's right, Bianca is a beautiful woman who would accept it just to be a backup. Now it's getting rich man immediately ran into the arms of another man.
Lize's worried face looks like she loves Bianca, but what if in fact, Bianca is not as good as her mother knows?
“Son, I want your relationship with Bianca to be harmonious, she is a woman who is always with you.”
Lucas hugged his mother strongly. “Sorry, sorry ... Mom, actually... .”
“I think you're really tired. You rest."Cut Lize thinks her son is disappointed not to be able to meet Bianca, because of pickpocketing. She thinks her son Lucas just needs to be honest with Bianca so as not to disappoint the beautiful woman whose name is now starting to rise.
Lize moved from her son's room and immediately came out with a medicine box. From where Lucas was sitting, he could hear the creak of the door of the next room that his mother had entered into her room.
“I have a hard time talking to my mom about this."Shut Up Lucas. His mother was mistaken about Lucas ' true intentions but on the other hand, she was still thinking about the right time to tell him.
***
In the morning Lize was already looking for a payphone. He had already memorized Bianca's number. Lize waited for the call in the glass booth until the phone picked up.
[Hello, who is this?] shouts the person on the other side of the call.
The light was finally lifted as well. Lize smiled excitedly.
“Bianca, it's me Lize.”
There was a lackluster hum from the telephone receiver. I think it's because Bianca has just woken up.
“Do you know what happened last night to Luke? " he said. I'm here to tell you that he can't be with you because he got in trouble for pickpocketing.”
Lize explained that the purpose of her future son-in-law was not to be upset because Lucas's condition failed to meet her. I don't know if my son was raped by that woman.
The Voice of the call on the other side turned into the voice of another unknown person by Lize.
[Is this the poor man's mother?]
“Who is this? Where's Bianca.”
[You mean my girlfriend? By the way, don't you know your son is lying? He broke up with Bianca because your family was poor.]
Lize did not expect to hear the mockery of the figure half-slamming the receiver of the payphone.
The room is a little shabby not because of irregular items but because shabby walls seem less maintained adding to the dirty impression.
Lucas awoke that morning to hear a cell phone call disturbing his sleep.
Know the number that appears on the call screen. Lucas picked it up. Show respect to the owner of the place where he works.
“Hello, boss, Good Morning.”
[Where Are You Now?]
“Today my schedule is off, what does the boss want me to get in today?”
[Oh ... I just wanted to let you know that you don't have to come in tomorrow because a new employee is replacing you.]
Luke listened intently to his master's words.
"But—“
The call had already been interrupted, after a unilateral dismissal made Lucas ' morning even more gray.
Lucas hit the middle of the bed she was sitting on, squeezing her hair roughly. “Why, why do I have to be like this!”
Lucas felt his world shattered into pieces. Even the pain of yesterday night has not healed.
“What if I knew."Lucas can't imagine his mother having to go back to work as hard as she used to.

Latest Chapter
Eyes
Lucas stood by the window in his study, staring blankly outside. His heart was filled with an anxiety that grew more consuming each day. For a week now, he had been receiving anonymous messages threatening him and watching his every move. The messages came relentlessly, leaving him constantly uneasy and vigilant.“Watch every step you take, Lucas. I am watching.”The first message came via SMS, then through email, and occasionally, a note was slipped under his door. None of these messages were ignored; each one made him feel more and more threatened. His wife, Luna, had nearly been hit by a speeding car with no license plate. Fortunately, Luna only suffered minor injuries, but the incident left Lucas terrified. He couldn’t bear the thought of losing his loved ones due to these unknown threats.Lucas's study was filled with work files scattered across his desk. He sat in his chair, gripping a pen tightly. In front of him was a list of names of people who might hold a grudge against him
Stalker
Lucas sat beside Luna’s bed, holding her hand tightly. Relief that Luna would be okay mixed with a boiling anger inside him after reading the threatening message. That’s when his phone rang again. Lucas quickly answered it, hoping it was good news from Joe.“Joe, any updates?” Lucas asked urgently.On the other end of the line, Joe sighed deeply. “Lucas, we couldn’t identify who sent the terror box. No fingerprints or other identifiable clues. But I’m taking the leftover food in the box to the lab. Maybe we can find DNA traces or origins of the food.”Lucas gripped the phone tightly. “Do whatever it takes, Joe. We need to find out who’s behind this. I can’t let these threats continue.”“Alright, Lucas. I’ll report back as soon as we have something,” Joe said before hanging up.Lucas took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. But before he could feel any real relief, his phone buzzed with a new message. He opened it, and his face immediately paled.[You think you can find me? Joe won
Afraid
Lucas sat at the end of the large conference table, facing the projection screen that displayed complex graphs about the company's performance. Joe, who always accompanied him, sat beside him, monitoring the reactions of the meeting participants.In the midst of the serious presentation, Lucas's luxurious phone rang. The dark screen of the phone displayed a picture of Bianca, his ex-girlfriend, in a very private moment with him. Lucas felt his heart rate quicken as a threatening message came in.[You might want to watch over that fragile reputation of yours. I can tell Luna, you know.]Joe, sensitive to his boss's expression, noticed the tension on Lucas's face. He hummed quietly, trying to ease the tension."Is everything okay?"Lucas closed his eyes briefly, trying to calm himself. "Yes, it's nothing. Just an unimportant message from a vendor. Continue with the presentation, Joe."Joe nodded, although his concern was still evident. He knew something was wrong but didn't want to make
Gift for the beauty
The door to the room opened, and a doctor walked in. "Sorry to interrupt, but we have good news. After the latest examination, Grandma Martha's condition has stabilized, and she can go home today," he said with a warm smile.Everyone in the room, including Maggie, looked relieved and happy. "Oh, thank you, Doctor. This is truly wonderful news," Maggie said, holding back tears of joy.Luna hugged Lucas tightly. "This is really great news. I'm so happy," she whispered.Lucas smiled but felt a bit awkward as the situation changed so quickly. "Yes, this is good news," he replied with a stiff smile.Due to the sudden excitement, the moment to give the necklace was postponed. Everyone was busy with hospital administration and preparing to bring Martha home.***Lucas and Luna finally had a moment to talk. "Luna, I want to continue something that was interrupted at the hospital earlier," Lucas said, taking the necklace box out of his pocket again.But just as he was about to speak, Luna's ph
Family
The next day, Lucas woke up feeling calmer. He decided to call Luna again, this time intending to resolve their issues without emotional outbursts.“Luna?” Lucas called when the phone was answered. “I want to talk.”“Lucas, I want to talk too,” Luna replied in a calmer voice. “I'm sorry about yesterday. I should have left a clearer message.”“No, Luna. I should also apologize. I should have been easier to reach. We both can learn from this,” Lucas said, trying to soothe the situation.“I agree,” Luna said. “We need to communicate better. I don't want misunderstandings like this again. At least you need to be responsible for letting me know where you are,” Luna reprimanded.Lucas smiled, even though Luna couldn't see it. “When are you coming home?”“I'll be back as soon as I finish my business here.”“How about I come to your place right now? At least I can properly introduce myself to your family.”“Are you sure?” Luna hesitated on the other end.“Yes, I'll come over.”“Alright, I'll
This Woman's Anger
After spending time with Bianca by the beach, Lucas felt relaxed. The cool sea breeze and the soothing sound of the waves calmed him.The taxi driver, a middle-aged man with a friendly smile, nodded as Lucas got into the taxi. They began their journey to the luxury hotel in the city center.However, shortly after they started moving, the taxi suddenly stopped with the engine dying in the middle of heavy traffic. Lucas sighed, slightly annoyed.“Sorry, sir. It seems the car broke down,” the driver said apologetically.Lucas nodded. “Try starting it again; it might work.” Lucas hoped it was still possible to continue the journey. The driver assured him he would do his best to get Lucas to his destination.Lucas nodded and took out his phone. “Try starting it again. I’ll call my colleague.” The driver tried several times without success. Meanwhile, Lucas dialed Joe’s number and waited for the call to connect.“Hello, Joe? It’s Lucas,” Lucas said when Joe answered the call.“Hey, Lucas. Y
