Chapter 82 - Truth

Lucas didn't wait a single second in the club and drove back to his penthouse. He was getting uneasy with every passing second, as his heartbeat were not ready to calm down.

"I need to do something" he said entering the penthouse.

Taking the whiskey bottle from the small bar, he marched towards his room.

Lucas kept drinking the whole night until he got intoxicated. He wanted to share his feeling with someone. Taking out his phone he called Ethan pouring his heart out.

"Ethan find her soon... I think I'm going crazy. Do something..."he slurred while talking.

"She has occupied my mind.. do something. I can't find myself in the right place..my heart his beating too damn fast.. her face.. her face I see it everywhere.. help me...please Ethan  " he said and passed out on the couch.

Present

Lucas said everything, that happened that day. He wanted to be truthful to her and he knew that his past would somehow appear in front of him but still, he needed to be loyal to her on whom she can have full faith. He had lost his heart to her and was ready to do anything to keep her next to him.

"I swear sunshine, that night nothing happened between us. I just wanted to get you out of my mind that's why I initiated things but when... when your face flashed in front of my eyes, I backed off" he said and sat on his knees, holding her hands tightly fearing she would vanish from his view.

"I know my past will always come up in our present, but trust me Sunshine... I have never slept with anyone after I saw you on the corners road. You were always on my mind, I couldn't even think of any other women accept you" he was trying to make her understand.

Elena was sitting motionless, her mind was mudded with the new confession. She looked down where Lucas was sitting waiting for her response. She had lost words and didn't knew what to say. She as trying to grasp every detail he gave..

Lucas waited for her to speak, but she just kept looking at him without saying a word. Maybe she was thinking of breaking every ties with him. No.. she can't do that, if she wanted to punish, she can punish him. If she wanted to shout , she can vent her anger but her silence... that was killing him. He didn't know why his heart was feeling heavy due to her quite self.

He slowly pulled his hand from her and stood up like a failed man. His heart was in pain, just by thinking what was going on in her mind. She was just sitting there without saying a word and that made his fear the worse.

"Sunshine.. I know you are too good for a person like me, who's past is worse to even think of and I can understand why you don't want to talk" he said slowly taking back his steps from her.

Elena frowned listening to his words. She looked up and saw him retreating his steps away from her. His eyes were teary as if ready to burst if she didn't said anything.

"I know I can't ask you to be with me. I'm a bad person who keeps whoring around and I can understand your silence" he gritted his teeth, fisting his palm and digging his nail into the skin.

"But I love you Sunshine with all my heart and I... I will alwa.."he couldn't complete his words and turn to hide his tears from her. He knew this thing would happen. His past will always come in between their happiness. He was never meant to have a relationship and fall in love. He deserved to be alone all his life.

He walked taking few steps but was stopped by a tight hug," Where do you think you are going Lucas Thomson" Elena asked burring her head in his back.

Her heart felt as if being stab, when she saw him controlling his cry. His teary eyes broke her heart into million pieces. How can he think that she will leave him after he confess his love for her. This man was just confused about his feeling for her that time and she can't blame him.

But after releasing her worth in his life, he changed himself just to be a better person for her. And she was proud of him.

"I don't want to listen what you will say sunshine.. I can't.. take it" he said covering his face with his palm as tears rolled down from his eyes.

"I love you Lucas and your past doesn't bother me" she said making him turn.

He was still covering his face not letting her see him. He felt disgusted about his previous self. He thought he was not a good man for her and she deserved someone better who was clean and not dirty like him.

"Look at me" she said removing his palm.

Elena heart felt the pain, when she saw his vulnerable state. He was like a small child who feared of being abandoned.

"I will never leave you Lucas. Now that I know, I love you and can't even spent my single day without thinking about, do you think I will be happy breaking up with you. No... because more than you it's me who feel scared just to part my ways from you" she said and cupped his face slowly tracing his tears away.

Elena couldn't make him feel guilty for things he did unknowingly and that was all in the past. Now they had each other, their present and future was in their hands and she wanted them to spend their lives happily without any burden of their past.

"You won't leave me right?" he sobbed.

"No... never. And if you try to leave me, then keep one thing in mind..... I will chain you with me and hide you inside my house" she said making him smile.

"I've felt love because of you and don't think that you will loose me... because we are bound to each other till we breath our last breath" Elena didn't want to think anything, she knew her heart and she knew his heart and that's what matters the most to her.

Lucas felt a big stone pulled up from his shoulder, he felt light after talking to her. She was the only women who made him go weak on his knees. She had the power to control him and his emotions. And he would let her do that if she stays by his side.

Lucas leaned and rested his forehead on her," I won't survive if you leave me Sunshine. I have hardly found my resource of living and I can't lose it at any cost" he said.

Elena knew what he meant but she didn't wanted to ask, she would wait for him to open up about it on his own.

"You will never loose me Lucas and that's a promise" she said and Lucas slammed his lips on her. He poured his love in that one kiss.

Elena could feel his body tremble, as she slowly wrapped her arms around his waist and caressed his back to soothe his fear. She was there for him and will always be till the end. She had took the oath to be with him the day she fell for him and she was not going to back down no matter what.

PM Enterprise

Natasha was getting frustrated with the work Ron had given her to do. She never wanted to work at first place but, just to be close to Lucas she agreed with her father.

Ron had been guiding her and was also giving her work to do, but she couldn't concentrate as her mind kept thinking about Lucas.

Ron entered her cabin with a pile of file and slammed it on her table," These are the yearly records of our company and you have to go through them to learn the basics" he said controlling his laugh watching her face. She looked at them as if she saw some germs spoiling the food.

"You will definitely remember your time while working here" he said inwardly.

"Like now.." she asked pointing at the files to which Ron nodded in yes.

"And yes after that we have a meeting to attend just for you to have a brief idea about our future projects" he said with a poker face but inside, he was smiling like a child who was happy to bully the person he hates.

Saying this he left her cabin, letting her to deal with the files by her own.

Lucas mansion

Elena and Lucas were cuddling on the couch. He had finally calmed down after crying his heart out.

Lucas was snuggling on her bosom while Elena kept caressing his hair. She loved his silky smooth hair and loved playing with them.

"Lucas why did you faint?" she wanted to ask him but didn't a chance to before.

"It happens every time.. I overthink or stress my brain on something" he said snuggling more.

"Don't you think you should talk to Daniel about it. He would treat you for your problem" she said concerning for his health.

She still got goosebumps thinking his limb body, she don't want to experience that situation again.
