Chapter 157 - Caught By Wife

It was already half an hour that both Lucas and Elena were playing the game and so far no one had lost which was actually like a mile stone for both the opponent.

Elena was waiting for the right time to threw her trump card which she knew was going to strike at the right spot.

"Till now we are even and no one have lost" she said.

"It is actually fun I didn't knew it would be so much interesting" Lucas said and lean down resting his head on her lap.

"Then lets do one last round after that we will go on walk in the lawn what say" she asked cupping his face.

"Okay lets do that" like an excited kid he asked her to start the final round.

Elena: Sunshine

Lucas: "You" he said pulling her cheeks.

Elena: Past

Lucas: Forgotten

Elena: Shameless 

Lucas: Me( giggles)

Elena: Underworld

Lucas: My basement

"That's it" like a lightening struck on him Lucas got up from her lap and looked at her in horror.

"Basement" she asked and that's when he realized why she wanted to play this game.

Lucas cursed himself mentally pursing his lips into a thin line looking at Elena who was waiting for him to answer. He did knew she would fool him with playing games just to make him remember there was something which he needed to tell her.

How did he forgot that Elena would not keep silent unless she gets her answer. He knew yesterday she let him rest in peace because of her mother but now there was no one who will save him and that struck really hard.

"Sunshine" he kept looking around finding a way to escape.

"Answer me Lucas Thomson so speak no more hiding" she leaned back folding her arms slowly making sure to be lenient with the bandage.

Lucas knew there was nothing to hide now that he was alone with the devils wife who had absorbed some of his evil traits.

"First promise you won't judge me and not try to leave me alone" he held her waist and rested his head on her stomach making sure she would not be able to leave if his answer angers her.

" It depend on your answer" she said and his eyes widen in shock. 

Elena was not going to judge hi because she new there were reason for his every action and hiding and the part of leaving him alone that was not going to happen because she knew she will go crazy to part with him.

"No fist tell me you won't leave me "he whine like a kid asking her to answer him.

"Okay fine...." 

Lucas pulled back still gripping her waist as he close his eyes and opened his mouth to speak," Sunshine...I a-am. Sunshine I"

Elena rolled her eyes looking how hard it was for him to speak. This man was like a ticking bomb who would blast if nothing happened according to his words but here he acted like a scared kitten barely able to form a single statement.

'Is he for real' she thought and cupped his face in annoyance making him look at her

"Speak"

Her stern voice made him look at her and he finally spoke," Sunshine I'm into underworld business" as soon as these words left he saw Elena hold on his face loosen.

Thinking of the worst he was about to cry when she again held his face and pinched his cheeks lovingly," Oh Lucas your are so cool" 

Shocked by her reaction he let go off her waist and placed his hands on her hands that cupped his face and asked just to be more clear," You think I'm cool?"

How was this possible when he was thinking she would get up getting scare about name underworld itself but here her reaction was making him go nuts.

"Exactly I really like action you know and the way all underworld don behaves they look so manly with those guns and all bodyguards around" 

"....."

"Oh Lucas this was the reason you were trying to hide" she said and sighed cupping his face and pecking his lips.

Getting out from the big shock Lucas didn't knew she would react this way. Did she not thought of him as a murderer or heartless people who killed humans.

"Sunshine you are not angry because of me being in underworld business" 

"No and why would I be angry when I know you help needy people by giving them justice" she said recalling the time when Maira had called her and told about Lucas Ethan and Daniel whose other family business was the underworld business.

Like a big rock lifted up from his shoulder Lucas pulled her into hug praying that the worst didn't came and everything went so smoothly because of her understanding nature.

"I thought you would push me" pouting like a kid Lucas complain about what he thought she would do.

"Lucas I know you more than you know yourself and I know you would not do something bad to anyone" Elena was not against him being in underworld because she knew that his business was not like the loan shark who would go behind people taking money and killing them when the debt was not paid on time. 

Lucas loved making peace without getting involved in killing anyone and that what matter most.

"This is not something which started now sunshine it's passed from generation to generation" he said.

First it was his dad who handled everything but after his mother's death he let go off everything taking a long break. When Lucas grew he took over his father's left over business bringing back into track. Everyone in the underworld feared them because the punishment they gave for backstabbing or doing illegal under their eyes was not forgivable.

Every men who work for them were well trained people who would fight more them fifty people at times that was the training they had given from the very beginning. Lucas was also not behind, his well toned body was also trained the same manner but the only thing which made him weak was his heart which he had given to Elena.

"I know... Maira told me everything"

Lucas pulled back and looked at her in confusion when she told him how his friends were also fooled just like him but in his case she tricked him with game which didn't made him doubt about her intention.

"Whoever told you does matter me the only thing which calmed me is you being understanding and sticking to me like this" hooking her arms around his shoulder Lucas gave her a peck.

Lucas knew Elena's way of finding whatever he hide from her was unique and he didn't mind even if she had made him do anything which he didn't wanted to do.

Lingaa's apartment

Lingaa walked out from his room after locking himself the whole night. He was starving because he didn't eat anything for dinner and drain himself by punching the punching bag hung in his room to release his anger. 

Walking to the kitchen he opened the fridge to see if he would have something to fill his stomach but what he got was the empty fridge. The fridge contained nothing with only few cans of beer and an apple. Releasing a sigh of frustration he walked back out to his room taking his sweatshirt and walking out from the apartment.

Stopping his car near the supermarket, Lingaa enter inside the shop and directly went to the instant food section. Putting all the packets of instant noodle and pasta in the cart he walked to the billing section when his eyes caught someone familiar.

The person was totally concentrated on her work didn't look up at the customer who came to make the bill

"Cash or card" Cynthia asked typing something on the keyboard.

"Card" 

Listening the familiar voice she pulled back from what she was doing and looked up to find Lingaa staring at her with a smile on his face. He himself didn't knew he was actually showing his teeth to her and smiling like a fool who saw his crush notice him.

"You work here" he asked putting the packet one by one on the table to scan.

Watching the amount of junk he was carrying made her frown,' Did he survived on them' she thought looking at the packets.

Looking at her wide eyes Lingaa knew what she was thinking so he instantly spoke," I don't eat them but my roommate he loves this noddle's and stuff" he didn't wanted to show her the impression that he didn't knew how to cook and was surviving on this noddle's though at some part it was right...

"Hmm" she said and started scanning the code on the packets.

"You didn't answer me do you wok here" he asked again looking how focus she was doing her job.

"Yes I work here" she said briefly and carried on with the work.

"But why were you working as waiter in the event" he asked remembering how she was serving the guest which he didn't like.

"That was just for one evening because they paid more for just three hours job" she looked up and saw him watching at her intensely.

She didn't knew why but the way he kept looking at her made her feel weird but in a good way. She had even seen him in the party gawking at her but she thought maybe he wanted her to recognize him. But now it was not the same he was smiling looking at her which she felt good to look at.

"If you don't mind I can pay you more if you know how to cook food?" his words made him stop her work and she looked back at him.
