Distressed, shattered and confused.My days passed in these ways.
Walker keeps on calling me every day and ask me to kill Luke.I always tell him that I will do it later,I need to find a good opportunity but only if he knew what I did.
Luke's mood seemed off since the last few days.He used to return home late every night.Everything was terrible.
I decided to head downstairs and talk about it like adults instead of avoiding each other.
It was midnight when I sat in the living room hoping he would show up soon.
I was sleepy as hell.
My drowsy eyes caught the glimpse of a figure.
I jolted up and walked towards him.
"Luke!" I stood in front of him.He looked down at me.His red, drowsy eyes landed on mine.
"Can we talk?" I asked.
"Yes.Come to my study after 10 minutes." He said.I nodded.
Instead of waiting ten minutes,I decided to make us a cup of coffee.
I knocked on his door.He opened it and let me in.
"Sit here." He pointed to a couch.I sat down and placed my coffee on the table while I forwarded his one towards him.He looked at me in disbelief.
"It's not poisoned." I said.
"Who is Kira,Luke?" I asked.
"Why do you want to know? He asked.
"Armen told me something.Something I should've have known." I said,"Drink it.It will be cold."
"What did he tell you?" He asked.
"Tell me who Kira Makarov is." I said.
"Lucia!"
"Tell me." I stared at him.
"Her and I were bound to be together because she was the daughter of Vasili Makarov.Vasili is a don and my father,Boris-" I cut him off.
"Isn't your father Robert Vernon?"
"Before my mother got married to my father, Robert,she had a relationship with Boris.Due to some reasons,they had to split up." He explained.
"So your biological father is Boris?" I asked.
"Yes." He replied and pursed his lips.
"Why did Boris help Robert Vernon? If he really loved your mother, shouldn't he be jealous?" I asked.
"That's not how love works.He knew he couldn't be with my mother but he sacrificed his happiness for hers.Boris is a good man." He explained.
"However,Boris was another powerful Russian don.It runs in the family.One don's son will marry another don's daughter.I have no other choice than to marry her.I never liked her.She is a player and she is stained.I will never want someone like her to be the mother of my children." He said.
"I tried to fall in love with her but it's impossible.She is happy with the fact that she will marry me eventually because of my riches and lavishes.When in a relationship with her,she tried to seduce me a million times but I would never touch a woman like her." He explained.
"Then why don't you marry her?" I asked.
"I don't love her." He replied immediately.
"What about the threats that are coming towards you.They will kill you if you don't marry her." I said.
He walked towards me and sat beside me.He put a portion of my hair behind my ear and said,"You understand me so well."
He leaned closer to me and whispered in my ear.
"Then why don't you understand that why I do not want to marry her?" His hot breath ran through my neck.I shivered.Every hair on my skin rose.
"You didn't drink the coffee." I whispered back.He looked at his coffee.
He ignored it again.He kissed my neck and slowly nibbled.
"No." I whispered,"No!"
"Lucia..." He spoke slowly.His gravelly voice made me flinch.He knew that when he says my name,it weakens me.
"Don't deny your feelings for me." He whispered,"You know what I feel for you."
He confessed it.He said it.I was paralyzed.
He cannot feel for me like this and I cannot feel like this for him.
My coffee was finished long ago.
I stood up and took a mouthful of coffee from his cup."It wasn't poisoned." I said as I turned to the door.
"No it wasn't poisoned.It was your care for me." He said from the back.I took a deep breath before leaving the room.
