Chapter 76 - Panic

Elena entered the car that was send by Lucas. Sitting inside she ask the driver to drive.

Elena had to go home alone without Lucas and now she was missing him being near her. She took out her phone and tried calling him, but his phone was switched off.

Elena was busy calling him ,when the car took the wrong turn. Sensing that the driver took the wrong route, she looked at the driver who was watching her with his pierce gaze from the rear mirror.

"You have took the wrong route! This is not the way to my house" Elena said as fear crept her heart. She was not having a good feeling. The driver.. he also kept looking at her intently making her scare.

When the driver didn't respond to her, she shouted again," Stop the car... right now".

Don't know why ,she was having a bad feeling and the man was terrifying her to hell. She asked him to stop the car, but he again ignored her, taking her to the unknown road. The route he took had no vehicles and was dark, all the way only their cars flash light was making him look the road.

Elena was losing her patience, the man was not even responding to her and that made her more panic.

"I said stop the car.. or I will jump out" she again yelled.

As if listening to her cracked voice, the man stopped the car. Elena took the opportunity to open the car's door and running out in fear. Never she would have thought to face such day, that she would have to fear for her life and safety.

The man followed her with his long steps, trying to catch her. Elena could hear the clicking sound of his footsteps, she could sense him following her. She tried running as fast as possible, not watching the small stone which came in her foot and making her loose her step.

She was about to fall, when the man came and took a hold on her hand, catching her tightly. Elena was already terrified by the situation and now the man had caught her. He pulled her close to him holding her tightly.

Elena tried to free herself from his hold, as tears started falling from her eyes," Leave me ..... please..."she said crying. Elena was losing her strength as her energy was slowly draining. The man was too strong for a fragile frame like her, she was not even able to move out from his strong arm cage.

"Stop... don't move.." the man said, but she was not ready to listen to him.

"Leave me..."she cried not listening to his voice and trying pulling herself out from his hold.

"Sunshine stop.... It's me" came a loud voice making her halt in shock.

"Lucas..." she whispered with her eyes wide open looking at his face.

Removing the mask and the black glasses, Lucas showed her his face. She stood still looking at him in disbelief.

"Sunshine it's me.. please don't get scare" his voce cracked watching her sweating in fear.

Lucas wanted to surprise her, but never thought he would scare her. He had asked Ron to tell her that he was busy and would not come to pick her. Its was all his plan to surprise her but it backfired badly. Instead of giving her surprise he scared her. 

Lucas heart squeezed, when he saw her running in fear. He thought he went too far with is plan, making her fear and running away from him.

"Lucas...."she muttered and hugged him crying in his arms.

Lucas wanted to punch himself for making her cry. Her every sob was ripping his heart. He was feeling the pain which was making him go crazy over himself. What made him come up with this idea, he thought.

"Sunshine, I'm sorry.... I didn't mean to scare you" he said as his heart ache watching her holding him so tightly. She clutched on his suit, and buried her face in his chest. Her tears were making his suit wet. She was so scared that she was trembling in fear while holding him.

Elena's body was quivering in his embrace. Lucas patting her back making her calm down. He was on the verge of crying along with her. He was not going to come up with any of this stupid surprise, which would scare his sunshine and make him regret later.

After a while, he felt her body relax in his arms and she slowly looked up. Her cheeks were wet with tears and her eyes hold unshed tears in it. Lucas thought to shoot himself watching her messed up face.

"Sunshine.." he said gritting his teeth. Lucas was angry on himself and wanted to beat himself for coming with such stupid plan.

Elena kept looking at Lucas, as a tear roll down her cheek. Lucas closed his eyes as tried to cool his rage.

"Lucas...."her hand lifted up cupping his face. Elena could feel his stiffen body as he closed his eyes not wanting her to show his anger.

Lucas opened his eyes, looking at her in pain," Sunshine.... I'm sorry, please don't cry. My heart is paining watching you like this" he whispered and rested his forehead on her. He gulped down the lump as he tried not to cry in front of her. He was barely controlling not to burst in tears in font of her.

"Lucas.... it's fine I'm not scared at all now" she was trying to make him cool down. She knew he was now feeling guilty, but its was not his fault.

"Sunshine.. I just wanted to surprise you but it all went in vain" his voice cracked when he pulled back and looked into her eyes.

Elena could see the pain in his blue eyes, he was scared and guilty, and it was seen all over his face.

"It's okay... I just overreacted" she said cupping his face," Don't feel bad" Elena brushed her thump on his cheeks trying to soothe him.

"I'm sorry" he bite his lips controlling his cry," I promise I will not come up with such stupid idea... please don't cry" he mumbled and took her into a hug," Don't get scare.... please "he said while he burred his face in the crook of her neck.

"Its okay Lucas...see I'm not scare anymore and I'm not crying also" she explained while patting his back lightly. His rip on her was strong as if he was afraid that she will get scared of him.

"But I think someone is about to get scare of my anger" she said teasing him.

Pulling back, Lucas smiled at her," You can punish me as much as you want, I won't bulge" he smiled looking at her.

"What made you come up with this plan?" Elena ask him.

"I wanted to take you somewhere. But the surprise just didn't go well" he muttered looking down.

Elena made him look up, she knew he was still feeling bad," So when do you plan to take me to the place" she said smiling at him," Or are we still going to stand here in this dark and lonely place. You know I don't mind to be here with you but... this stomach of mine is getting hungry" she pointed on her tummy making him chuckle at her words.

"Yes.. the plan can still be executed, as I can't let my Sunshine wait to fill her stomach" he said and took her towards the car. Sitting inside, they drive to the place where Lucas wanted to take her.

Knights mansion

Natasha came back home in anger, she went to her room and slammed the door hard.

She waited for Lucas to come back to the office, but he didn't come. She wanted to see him in front of her eyes, but he was not even sparing a glance at her. He was treating her like air, as if he didn't know her. But despite of his ignorance, she was not going to give up. He would think nothing for her, but she would still take him away from Elena.

"I know you are purposely ignoring me, but it will not be for too long. When that girl will get vanish from your life, I will give the kind of love that you deserve" she said looking at the big frame.

"Lucas you are mine and nobody....nobody can snatch you away from me" she said while tracing her fingers on the frame which had Lucas photo on it.

Taking her phone out, she made a call," I have a work for you.." she said.

Reaching to their destination, Lucas asked the guard to open the large gate. Slowly driving in, Lucas parked the car in front of the big mansion.

Elena gasped looking at the mansion, she had only read in novels about castle and mansion but today, she saw one with her eyes.

Opening the car's door for her, Lucas took her hand and went inside the mansion. He wanted to take her to this place were he had spend his childhood with his mother and father. This was the mansion which actually felt like home for him. He had his mother's memories that they shared before her death.

He was contemplating whether to take Elena to this place or not, but he wanted her to know about his mother. This place was close to his heart and he wanted her to be familiar with it.

Entering the mansion, uncle Smith came to greet the couple. He was the butler who was managing the mansion under his care. After his mother's death, Lucas and his father left this place as it still make them miss her presence.

"Young master, welcome home" Smith came and greeted them.

"Uncle she is Elena, my soon to be wife" Lucas said making Elena look at him in surprise.
