Filed to story: Bring It On My Mafia Life Novel (Rhea & Lukas)
She could feel the familiar prickle of fear, an unease that told her that something was terribly wrong. Rhea sniffed, wiping away the tears from her eyes as she asked calmly, “What do you mean by that?”
The anticipation that filled her now was ten times more intense than last night when she was being kidnapped and thought that she would never see him again.
“It’s over, Rhea,”
Bam!
It felt like her world came crashing down around her and everything became too much and unbearable.
What do you mean it’s over, Lukas? You’re not breaking up with me, are you?” Rhea let out a laugh, unwilling to believe that this was the end for them.
“I’m tired of your dishonesty, Rhea. Let’s call it quits. Moreover, it’s not like we can be together with what happened. This is the end, Rhea.”
“No, no, no, this can’t be the end!” Rhea shook her head firmly, refusing to believe what she was wearing while Eric and Natalie stood at the corner watching and didn’t interfere. They knew not to ruin the moment.
“But you love me, Lukas! How can it be over like this between us?!” She argued with him. No, this was just a bad decision because he was upset over the incident. Rhea couldn’t let that happen.
“Of course, I love you! I love you so much that it’s driving me crazy to even think about this, but this is for me. I don’t trust you any longer, Rhea, and I can’t be with someone that I can’t even entrust my life to. I guess in the end love is not enough.”
“Please, Lukas,” Rhea pleaded, having sensed him giving up on them, “You’re making a bad decision because you’re being emotional. You need to sleep this over with and you’d realize the mistake you’re making! Please, Lukas! I can’t live without you!”
“No, you can, or else you wouldn’t have put me through this.” Lukas countered her statement, “We breathe the air because we trust that it’s harmless. You can do well without me, Rhea. Moreover, sleeping over this is merely delaying the inevitable. Have a nice life, Rhea.”
“Please, don’t go, Lukas!” Rhea shouted, but that didn’t stop Lukas from hanging up on her.
“No!” Rhea screeched like a banshee, the phone slipped through her hand and fell to the ground. Not that Eric cared about that, his attention was more on the young girl who fell to the ground, bawling her eyes out.
“Rhea!”
Natalie, of course, had to be the one who went over to her and threw her into her arms even though Natalie kept pushing her away.
She didn’t want any of them here.
Rhea couldn’t breathe, there was this stuffy feeling inside of her that threatened to swallow all of the air inside of her and she clutched onto her chest.
The thought of Lukas ending things with her was like a stab through her heart. He had promised her that they would be together, how could he change his mind that easily?
Rhea wanted to die, the pain was raw. It was all her fault, she should have told Lukas the truth and now it was late. She wanted Lukas back. She still loved him. She was so sorry. If only he could give her one more chance.
“Rhea,” Natalie could not stand to see her daughter in this condition even though she had hoped for the both of them to have nothing to do with each other. It was simply a heartbreaking sight.
“Leave me alone! You finally got what you wanted! You should be happy!” She yelled at the woman, trying to pull out of her embrace but her mother was surprisingly strong and she couldn’t break away.
“I hate you,” Rhea cried out, snot blowing from her nose and onto the woman’s arm, not that she noticed. Even if she did notice, Natalie didn’t exactly care at that moment.
“I know, I know,” Natalie affirmed, still holding onto her daughter. She would rather have Rhea hate her for the rest of her life yet find happiness in the end rather than live miserably with Daniel’s scum.
Although it was quite relieving to Natalie that this one broke up with her daughter, unlike his father who held onto her like an obsession. Perhaps, Lukas was different from his father after all… no! Natalie refused to entertain such thoughts.
Father and son were the same.
On the bright side, her daughter was home now and she would shower her with the love she missed out on over the years.
Her Soul Flew Out Of Her Body
“Rhea?!” Mimi strode into the base, searching for her friend. It was strange, but she hasn’t been able to get a hold of her all through the night and it was weird. Usually, Rhea was supposed to update her on yesterday’s event, but there was nothing like that, and that added to her anxiety.
“Rhea?” She searched through her room and there was still no sign of her. Mimi didn’t have the time to ask around but now that she thought about it, the soldiers around had been giving her strange looks when she arrived.
Mimi stopped short in her steps, her heart beginning to pound in her chest. Something was not right, she could feel it. The first thought that came to her mind was that Lukas had found out about Elijah and reacted badly. Did he hurt her? Did he sell her off again?
No, Mimi shook the ridiculous thought out of her head. No matter how mad Lukas was at Rhea, he would never sell her off again. He was too possessive anyway and wouldn’t stand her being with another man.
What if he killed her mistakenly out of anger – Lukas does have a foul temper – and Rhea’s ghost is hovering around her right now, but she’s unable to see her? Sigh, Mimi had to shut down her hyperactive imagination. This was not funny. She needed to see her friend.
She already made up her mind to go confront Lukas and had reached the door, ready to knock on it when it opened by itself and she saw…
“Babe,”
“Victor?”
He told her that he was in an important meeting. Was the meeting being held in Lukas’s room? In that case, Rhea should be a participant too since she wasn’t in her room. Mimi stretched her head to peep into the room only for Victor to block her view to her surprise.
…..
Mimi stood on her tiptoes this time to have a clear view only for Victor to block her once again with his taller height and she scowled at him. Why was he annoying her? She tried to push him out of the way and Victor locked the door instead.
“What is wrong with you? You’re being so strange,” Mimi complained, glaring at him. She loved him, yes, but he was infuriating her right now and her patience had a limit.
“I’m so happy to see you,” He engulfed her in a hug instead, leaving no room for her to breathe.
Did he miss her that much? Mimi wondered as Victor distracted her with a hug and she didn’t even know.
“Fine, I’m here now and not going anyway,” Mimi breathed, trying to break out of the hug. He was literally smothering her. Yeah, the love was too much.
She went on, “However, I really need to see -“
Victor caught her off with a kiss that blew her mind off. And just like that, Mimi forgot all about the mission and instead wrapped her arm around his neck and returned the kiss patiently. Maybe, she did miss him as well.
Mimi hopped onto his body, wrapping her legs around his waist while Victor walked with her until his back hit the wall for support. And she deepened the kiss, tasting his lips without an ounce of shame or fear that Lukas could step out of there any minute.
For all she knows, Lukas could be busy inside there with Rhea and doing something productive, hehe. But then, Victor stepped out of there now…. Wait a minute….
Mimi suddenly stopped and Victor’s lips chased after her but she turned her face the other way before getting down to her feet. She put enough space between them so she isn’t tempted by his yummy luscious body. If anything, pregnancy only made her hornier.
“Mimi…” Victor stepped towards her but she put up her hand and stopped her.
“Tell me is Rhea inside there or not?”
