Chapter 138 - Spy Girls

Lucas was standing in front of Ethan looking at him intently. From the time he had informed him about Cynthia being followed by a certain person, he couldn't wait to see what else was needed to be seen.

Sitting inside his cabin, Ethan showed him the footage their guards had mailed him, but the problem was the man had his back face at them and his face was not visible.

Both watched the video looking how the man was following her everywhere and only left when she would reach home.

"Stop here.." Lucas said. Following his words Ethan paused the video.

"Zoom it for me" he said and Ethan again did what Lucas said.

"This ring in his ear... I think I've seen it somewhere?" he looked at the paused picture which only showed the back of the man but the thing which caught his eyes where the round silver ring which sparkled in the video.

"Where?" Ethan asked as he looked back and forth to have a clear view.

"I can't remember.. but I think I've seen it" Lucas was trying to recall where he had seen it but was not able to remember.

"Never mind I will tell when I remember until then let our men follow her and see what that man does.. we can get a lead" he said and sat on the chair next to him.

Turning his head to the side, Lucas watched Elena chair empty. She had went to attend a meeting as a substitute for Ron and would be back after she finished it.

"Look at that puppy eyes.... she works here Lucas you can't always wait for her like an hungry beast" Ethan voiced when he saw how Lucas was looking at the table where Elena worked with him.

"But I miss her.. Argh! I should just replace her with Ron had made my personal assistant" his gloomy face was worth a watch even Ethan couldn't control his laugh.

"Hahah..."

Lucas turn to look at him and his face turn more stiffen looking how his friend was laughing at him," Don't laugh, you won't understand my position only a married man like me knows how hard it is to part from his lovely wife"

"Oh come on.. you were like this even when she was your girlfriend" he said and got up to leave.

Ethan had to reach home, he had said Samantha that he was out for work and it was partially correct so now he had to go back before she starts asking him question.

Standing up he sighed and was about to leave when Lucas stopped him," Are you tired?" he asked and made him turn back at him.

"I'm just worried if my spy girlfriend won't try to open my laptop" he had seen how Samantha was trying to know about his external work.

"Then what's the big deal" Lucas shrugged his shoulder casually as if it was nothing.

"Dude do you think our other half's would be happy to know our other side business" his words strike Lucas bringing him back to land.

He watch his friend in horror, even he had not told Elena about his underworld business but it was not illegal . They have been helping people with good thing and punishing the bad one.

"I didn't think it of that way.. but we are on safer side don't you think" he tried to made him understand that it was not a big thing to stress on but the latter beat him with words.

"Dude.. underworld is itself a big thing and our girls are not aware of it. Do you think watching us with guns and knife will make them proud. They will run away" he said while scratching his head. He had been thinking how to tell Samantha that they had been into underworld after Blake resign and Lucas took over. Though the business was pure help for the needy but still the name itself was a threat.

"No..no she can't leave me.. we're married after all" Lucas said shaking his head in denial. How can she leave him when they are married now...No.. that's not going to happen.

"You can't say anything once they learn about this" saying this he left his cabin leaving Lucas to deal with his words alone.

"I won't tell her..in that way she wouldn't find and then she would not leave me... Yes, I wont' tell her"

Health care hospital

Daniel was studying the patient case, when he got a call from Maira," Daniel I will go home alone. Don't come to pick me" she said and cut the call without letting him talk.

"Huh! What was that?" he said and looked at the phone trying to understand her toneless words.

He was trying to settle when he again received a call from her," And even you don't have come home.." she said and again cut the call.

"Babe..." he called but the other person had already ended the call.

'What just happened' he thought and again tried to call her but she didn't pick the call.

On the other end, Maira patted her shoulder," Done" she said and looked at Samantha who was feeling sorry for Daniel.

Maira's plan to let them spill their secret was ruthless. She knew Daniel was the weakest out of the three of them and would easily blurt everything, so she first targeted him.

"Sis don't you think your words were too toneless earlier" Samantha asked when she heard how her sister just stated and then cut the call. 

"He should be treated like that, who told him to keep secrets" 

Maira knew she was being too hard but she was right. She had the right to know everything related to Daniel and if she had to bully him then yes she was in for the game. 

Samantha only shook her head and prayed for the poor man. She knew her sister was a bully and would not let go unless he spill everything.

Lucas cabin

Buried inside the file, Lucas was doing his work when the door of his cabin opened. Snapping his head he look up with a smile but soon his smile disappeared watching the person in front of him.

Natasha came to meet him, she had covered her marks with a lots of makeup and hoped he would not remember anything that she did last night.

"Lucas.." she said and was about to take a step when his cold voice echoed. 

"Stop right there... who told you to come without knocking" her smile dropped listening his heartless tone.

"Lucas I just came to discuss you about work" she stated looking at the devil who was throwing dagger on her.

"You should be hiding your face somewhere Miss Knight after doing such a cheap stunt" his words made her rooted on the ground like a statue.

She dare act like innocent...Lucas fumed.

'So he remember' she thought and gulp the lump form in her throat.

Natasha knew angry Lucas was like a raging bull and now that he knew what she had done she could only pray his wrath to be not so hard.

"W-what are you saying" she was trying to act cool as if she didn't knew what he was saying.

"Don't act innocent Natasha. From the time you have set your foot here you've been trying to come close to me. You knew I love Elena but still you did such a cheap act. What did you think by taking advantage of me that you will take Elena's place in my life.. then you're wrong because it won't happen" slamming his hand on the table me made her flinch in fear.

Natasha fisted her palm and storm to him," What does that girl have which I don't" her eyes where blazing fire. Now that he knew everything she was going to be true to him.

"She is not cheap as you, desperate for attention and bed warming" he said but it all went above her head.

"Lucas I've like you more than a decade but you still didn't look at me" she tried to touch him but he pushed her back.

His sudden jerk made her move back. Natasha had lost her sense of thinking and now she wanted to vent everything. He had to accept her, Lucas was hers and no one was allowed to have him.

"My one act of kindness made you think that I like you.. you're wrong Natasha after that day I didn't even remember your face or else do you think I would've approached you in the bar.. No.. never" his words jolt her in surprise.

"I know you don't like me but just give me a chance I promise to love you more than she does" she again tried to touch him but this time he landed a slap on her cheeks.

"Dare you touch me Natasha.. your touch burns my skin" he said moving back.

Natasha was shock by his action, she didn't knew he would be so ruthless to her. She had been loving him all these years and what she gets in return his hate. This was all because of Elena, if she hadn't came to his life Lucas would've been hers. 

She fell on her knees in defeat crying in front of him, but he didn't flinch even a step and looked at her just heartless. He have already had enough of her nonsense, she knew he didn't love her still she went after him trying to take advantage of his weak state.
