994 Words
Five years later.
Skyhigh Airport.
Lea fixed the long, cream-colored coat she was wearing, matching the handbag and high heel she was wearing. She tossed her wavy chestnut-colored hair.
The young man standing near the exit could not hide his admiration, looking at the shining beauty in front of him.
Lea held a small boy in one hand, very handsome, well-built, and with thick, wavy black hair, contrasting with his fair skin.
But his expression revealed a calmness that didn't match his age. He frowned impatiently when he saw the astonishing eyes of the people passing by, and tugged on Lea's sleeve with his small hand, signaling them to leave here quickly.
Lea was just about to pick up the phone to ask where her friend was when she heard a familiar shout. "Lea!" Then she was caught off guard by a strong hug.
"Lea! You are so bad! How could you leave me five years ago without saying anything? Did you know how worried I were? Boohoo..."
Seeing Shery again, Lea felt happy and guity with her eyes watering. She had to leave five years ago. Just as she was about to explain the reason for her leaving, Luke cut her off impatiently.
"Stupid, we're being watched by everyone here,"
Lea was about to reprimand Lucas for being rude, but Shery's screams drowned her out again, She noticed Lucas. "Oh my god! How come there is such a perfect face? Ah! Does this really exist?" Shery rubbed her fingers on Lucas' face while talking.
Lucas' frown deepened, why did mom's friend look so crazy?
Lea knew that if she didn't stop, then Lucas would do even crazier behaviors, so she hurriedly reminded Shery that they hadn't eaten yet. "Let's have dinner first, while you tell me where you've been all this time."
——
Shery took Lea and Lucas to a restaurant near the airport, which served not only food, but also coffee and pastries.
"Okay, tell me everything." Shery said with a serious face when they sat down. "You yourself, what happened? I heard about your wedding being called off and after that you just disappeared."
Lea took a deep breath and began to tell everything that happened five years ago. Shery shook her head while rubbing the corners of her eyes hearing the story told by Lea.
"I didn't expect those two people to turn out to be so despicable," Shery growled, referring to Garry and Feli. "Is that why you changed your last name?"
Lea nodded. She touched and rubbed Luke's hand on the table. "It's for Luke."
Shery wanted to ask who Luke's real father was, because there was something missing in Lea's story that she didn't tell, namely about her meeting with Luke's father.
However, Shery chose not to ask. She was sure that one day Lea would reveal it herself.
"Then what do you want to do next?" Shery knew that Lea must have planned everything when she came back. She knew her friend's character and would not let anyone who bullied her go.
" repay those who have hurt me and take back my rights," Lea answered plainly.
"Can I help you?" Shery looked at her and said seriously.
"Of course. Help me take care of Luke while I'm at work. Hope...it won't make things difficult for you."
Lucas's handsome face wrinkled when he heard his mother's words. He really didn't want to stay with this crazy woman, but he knew that he had to listen to his mother now. He understood why her mother returned and he actually had the ability to help her. But he didn't want to scare her just yet.
"Lea, don't worry. How can it be difficult with such a handsome boy by my side? I will become younger, as saying that looking at a handsome guy can delay aging." Seeing Lucas' handsome face, Shery replied excitedly. "You go ahead and do whatever you have planned. I'll take care of Luke and we'll have a great time, won't you, honey?"
Lucas snorted, not wanting to agree with Shery whereas her mother looked at Shery gratefully.
Lea kissed Luke on both cheeks and forehead before leaving, then hugged Shery tightly.
She hailed a taxi and got into it, gave the address of the Diamond Entertainment buildin, then the tenderness in her eyes disappeared.
She becomes a mighty warrior again, fighting for herself and Luke.
She had developed her career as a model in America, one year after giving birth to Luke and her hard work achieved good results. For a model with no background to stand out, there must be a lot of sweat and hard work behind it.
Nada fell into a deep sleep after being injured, she was betrayed by her mate, abandoned by her pack. When Lea tried to talk to Nada, Nada always answered her with silence and sigh.
Lea was waiting for Nada to come back, but before that, she couldn't give up for both Luke and Nada. She learned everything about fashion and understood the meaning behind each design. All these efforts paid off, she became the most famous models in America, and each garment she showed has her unique personal style.
When she saw on the Internet that Fely had also become a famous model, she applied to the company to return to this sad place.
The reception she was going to was the first job the company arranged for her. When Lea found out that Feely would also go, she was more looking forward to see Fely’s face when they met.
The taxi that Lea was riding in stopped next to a shiny black Bentley because of a red light.
Nada, who had been sleeping peacefully since departure from America, suddenly stirred. Lea held her breath when Nada shouted an invisible call. Mate! Lea screamed inside.
In the shiny black Bentley, Jayden nearly choked when suddenly Black started grunting. Mate! Jayden shouted inside.
