Lucas was out for the meeting in the afternoon and and ask Ron to inform Natasha about him joining straight at the venue. Since the morning he didn't got a chance to meet Elena. Missing her presence, he pulled out is phone and called her. The ring went on for a few second when she finally took the call," Hello"

Her soothe calming voice filled his heart with happiness, even if he was mile apart from her he could still feel how happy she was to get a call from him.

"You left before I came" she complain on the other end of the call.

Lucas chuckled at her her cute whine. He knew she would talk this thing first, he so wanted to go and be next to her but this meetings where eating his time.

"Ron said you would take some time to come back and the clients wanted to meet.. its important" he leaned his head back on the headrest and curse the client in his mind.

"I know.. it took me more than three hours to finish and have a clear cut of the promo video and let me inform you Mr. Thomson the video have came out pretty well" she was satisfy by the hard work of all the people who were involve in the shoot.

"Lets celebrate after the launch.. I know the software would reach our company to new heights" Lucas was sure about the outcome of the software and he knew they were going to set their bars high in technology world.

"Yes... by the way how much time will take you to come back" she asked out of curiosity knowing with whom he was going.

"I won't take long, just meet the client and then back to my wife" his words made her chuckle. She knew he didn't like to share the same space with that crazy women, but she also knew how serious he was with his work.

"Will wait for you hubby" she said in her seductive voice making him groan on the other side of the call.

Lucas closed his eyes when he heard her tempting voice, she was purposely alluring him by her seducing voice.

"Sunshine..." he gritted his teeth in frustration know how his body was reacting now.

Elena chuckled on the other side and said," Then don't take too long I want you here as soon as the meeting is over" saying this she cut the call and smiled looking at the phone.

Lucas opened his eyes and looked down on the bulged form in his pant and cursed loudly,' You will have to pay for this sunshine'

Carter House

Henry was sitting in the living room watching television when Julian came and join him with some snacks.

She saw Henry's mood was back to normal after a long time. She knew how badly he missed Elena's presence in the house and would keep calling her unknowingly forgetting that she was not here with them.

"You look happy?" she asked and took a chip forwarding towards his lips.

Taking the bite Henry nodded his head agreeing her words. He was feeling good and had slowly trying to accept that his girl was a married women and now she had a child like husband to look after.

"And what makes you happy?" she asked out of curiosity.

Julian saw how he didn't call Elena's name nor did he went to her room but kept sitting on the couch and quietly kept watching the news.

"I met a boy today in the park" he said recalling the talk with him and turn to her side looking at her like an excited kid," You know I just felt connected to him as if I have known him but he said he was new in this place" he said resting his back on the armrest.

"Then maybe you don't know him if he is new in our place because I know my cop man would never forget the face once he had fixed in his mind" she pinched his cheeks and again gave him a chip to eat.

"But why I feel I've known him and that smile when he talked felt familiar Julian" he still couldn't remember where he had seen him and that made him curious about the man.

"Aha... then I should also meet him what if I remember who he is" Julian now had the urge to see the man who had occupied her husband mind and divert him from Elena.

"But I don't know where he stays.. I don't even have his number" he said only knowing his name and not where he stayed.

Julian heard his words when she thought," What if he come tomorrow again then you can ask him to join us after all I too want to meet him" she said and Henry nodded his head with her idea.

"You know what you have to do?" Natasha said on the call.

"Yes mam" came a voice on the other side.

"I don't want any mistake" she warned and cut the call after discussing everything.

She gave on glance at the mirror and said," Today I will make you mine Lucas and you won't be able to resist" 

Natasha wore a tight red dress totally fitting her body with V shaped neck showing off her cleavages and her perfect curve's through it. She had made up her mind that today she would not let go the chance like she had done in past.

'Lucas is mine and will always be mine, no one will have him except me' she thought and put on her gloss before going out from the room.

Plaza Restaurant

Reaching the meeting spot, Natasha waited for Lucas along with the clients. She had already called him informing that the clients had arrived but the boss was still to show up.

She was again going to make a call when she saw Lucas walking from the entrance of the hotel. A smile formed on her lips watching the devilishly handsome man making his way towards them. She was happy to find him alone and not Ron along with him. She had other plans too for excluding Ron after the meeting was over but her luck was on her side this time.

Making her way towards him, she stood in front of Lucas with a smile on her face. She wanted to go and hug him but the aloof man didn't glance at her and went passed her leaving her embarrass. 

Walking to the dinning area, he took the seat next to Mr. Hades one of his investor with whom his company have been working with for long.

"Sorry for the delay Mr. Hades. I was stuck with some work" he apologized for making them wait. He thought he would be back on time but some work took to long to finish before he left  here.

"I can relate with you Lucas no need to apologize. After all we knew how busy the chairman's are" he laugh along with Lucas.

Natasha who stood at the place like her feet's got glued in the ground. She fisted her palm in anger and took her cell phone out from her purse before she send a text, 'After the man in the black suit leaves' she tap the send icon and walked back where the men's where seated.

Rosie mansion

Elena was back after completing her work, she had texted Lucas about her arrival at home. She kept her bag on the side table and walked in her walk in wardrobe. Taking her clothes she went inside the bathroom to get fresh.

She was inside taking a showered when a message popped on her cellphone. After a minute the phone began to buzz but due to the sound of the shower she was not able to hear her phone ringing.

After about twenty minutes, Elena came out from the shower getting dressed with her matching pajama set and went to dry her wet hair. She was busy drying her hair when she heard the ping sound from her cellphone. Turning off the drying she got up from the small wooden stool and went to see who had text her.

Elena's eyes popped out watching ten miss call and five message. Unlocking the phone the first think she read was,' Reach Plaza Hotel.. your husband needs you' the text made her frown and she immediately call Lucas but his phone was turn off. She was about to get up when other message came,' Hurry up before it's too late' 

And now the text made her spine fear in nervousness. Without wasting any time she strode out from her room to where the messenger had asked her to arrive. The only thing kept repeating in her mind was the last words from the text,' Hurry up before it's too late'. 

She kept looking at the text and asked the driver to drive fast. She just wanted to see Lucas safe and sound in front of her eyes.

'Please be safe Lucas' she muttered looking at the front watching the car speeding up.
