Lucas had just finished his bathing ritual. Finished matching Lucan neatly, the tattooed man immediately took his feet to the dining room. Hans and Veronica were already there, beautiful women who had been close to him recently. "Honey ... you're awake apparently." The woman greeted warmly. Deliberately standing up to give a warm hug. "Have you been long?" Lucas asked while returning the hugs and kisses that Veronica gave. "Not really." While breaking her arms, the woman replied. "I came together with Hans." Lucas nodded. He pulled another chair, deliberately sitting next to Veronica. "Sorry if I've been busy these past few days and haven't had time to contact you. I hope you understand." Veronica reviewed her smile. Just understand the risks of dating a busy guy like Lucas. If they want their relationship to last, he must be patient rather than demanding. After all, the Gray family's eldest son is the type of guy who doesn't like being controlled. Moreover, Veronica is just a date. Not even officially his girlfriend. "It's, Okay, I understand your job. That's why I took the initiative to follow you here. You don't mind, do you?" Lucas shook his head. "Of course not. Why should I mind being visited by a beautiful woman like you." The man's turn to kiss the woman next to him briefly on the lips. "Looks like I missed something." From the direction of the room, another woman's voice followed. Makes all eyes on him. Especially, Veronica was so surprised to see Anna's figure walking leisurely and then pulling a chair to the right of Lucas. "Why didn't you wake me, honey?" asked Anna on purpose. "In fact, you know that pregnant women shouldn't be a bit late for a meal," "Luc!" Veronica spoke. He glared at Lucas, a sign that he needed more explanation. "I'll explain everything to you later," Lucas said soothingly. The man grabbed Veronica's wrist, asking her to calm down. This moment made Anna even angrier, and she started acting up again. "You don't want to meet me?" "Anna... Enough!" interrupted Lucas. But the man's words were only answered by a seductive glance in the eyes of the woman whose full name was Anna. He didn't seem to care. He was even more thrusting his wrist towards Veronica. Intend to invite a handshake. "Introducing, I'm Anna, the future wife and woman who is currently pregnant with Lucas's child." "What?" Veronica was taken aback. "Having Lucas's child?" he repeated. Then the woman's gaze shifted to Lucas. "You impregnated another woman?" Instead of answering, the man turned his face towards Anna. "Anna, stop it!" Lucas' voice was getting louder. Meanwhile, Veronica, annoyed, chose to get up from her seat—grabbed the bag he slung behind the chair, and decided to leave. Seeing this with an annoyed look, Lucas chose to chase Veronica. While Anna seemed unconcerned. Smiling, the woman greeted Hans, who had been quietly enjoying his breakfast. "You must have had a nice breakfast. Had an American Sandwich while watching the telenovela scene just now." Hans giggled. "Honestly, this morning I was on your side, Anna. I'm glad you could upset Veronica." Anna knit her brows together. "Why?" Finished sipping his drink, the big man replied. "Because I don't like it when Lucas is close to Veronica. I know the real reason that woman approached Lucas. But your future husband never believed what I said." Anna nodded. "Ah, I see." Hans nodded too. "I hope you really are pregnant with Lucas's child. So that Veronica stops approaching Lucas."

Sipping the tea in her hands, Anna smiled meaningfully. I don't know what she was thinking or maybe planning this time. ** "How can you live with a woman! Even though you've always been refusing to sleep with me!" Still filled with emotion, Veronica continued to protest when Lucas brought the woman into his study. She couldn't accept when the man who had been close to her was now openly living with another woman. "Vero, I can explain everything. It's not what you think." Lucas tried to calm him down. "What?" she asked. "What do you want to explain? Even I heard myself that the woman was pregnant. Don't tell me that it's really your child!" Lucas shook his head. The man gently led Veronica to sit in her work chair. Grabbing the woman's wrist, Lucas tried to explain. While he chose to stand leaning against the table. "Listen, me," he pleaded. "For God's sake, this is really complicated. I didn't even know who Anna was before. Whether that woman was pregnant with my child or not. I've never even once brought a woman into bed-- " admit that she is pregnant with your child? Does she have any proof?" Lucas nodded weakly. "I swear to you, and I can't even prove whether it's my son or not. Hans is still investigating. So, please, don't speculate. Because I'm pretty sure it's not my son. I doubt that he is. pregnant." "But...." Veronica interrupted. "Why do you have to let him live with you? Isn't that an exaggeration?" Lucas shook his head. "I'm sorry, but I have to do this so that she doesn't act up. I don't want her to leak this to the media. Which will ruin the reputation I've built so far." Veronica took a deep breath. Wanted to protest but it didn't seem like it would mean anything. Lucas is going through some really tough times right now. He should have provided support so that he could always get the man's attention. "Okay, I'll try to understand this. But I warn you, never fall in love with that woman!" Lucas shook his head. "I won't. After all, right now, you're the only one close to me." Veronica smiled happily. Choosing to stand parallel then wrapped his hands around the nape of Lucas' neck. Pulling the man's face, intending to anchor the kiss as usual. However, before the kiss was done, there was a knock on the door. There was Hans who went straight in without waiting to be invited. "Luc, we have to discuss the results of my investigation," said the man. Then it wasn't long before he realized that Lucas and Veronica were involved in a slightly intimate activity. "Gosh... I'm sorry I bothered you guys." Lucas nodded in understanding. Unlike Veronica, who looks sullen because Hans' presence interferes with her efforts. "I'd better go!" "I'm sorry...." Lucas tried to apologize. "I'll call you later." Veronica didn't care. With an annoyed look the woman walked away from Lucas' office. While Hans, who had entered, immediately took a sitting position on the sofa which was not far from the room window. "I brought some information about your future wife. The mother of your children." "Tsk!" Lucas immediately chuckled. He hated to hear those words. "My world will end if I marry that woman, Hans." Hans laughed. "No one knows what will happen next, Luc. Who knows, you'll end up crazy about him." "I'd rather die!" Lucas glared disapprovingly. An aura of hatred radiated clearly from the man's face. "So, what's the information?" "Anna Maria Estelle..." Hans started to read the report he had brought with him. "Woman born in Manchester, 28 years ago. The youngest child of the couple Giorgino Masseli and Zendaya Mei Holland. Her father is a British investigator who works for the secret intelligence agency belonging to the United Kingdom, better known as secret agent M16. While her mother, a bloody woman, a mixture of English and Taiwanese, worked as a music teacher and had passed away many years ago. As for his sibling, I didn't get any information. Is it still alive or not. Anna, herself, is a woman who has worked as a professional model for the past five years." "Is that the only result of your investigation, Hans?" Lucas asked. He seemed dissatisfied with the news that Hans brought this time. "Of course not, Luc." She got up from her seat. She moved closer to Lucas. "This one piece of information might be of great interest to you." "What?" "Anna might be involved with some dangerous mafia gangs." "Huh?" Lucas gasped at the information he had just heard. "Mafia?" Hans nodded. "Raul Altemose, a man who worked as a state intelligence staff some time ago, was held captive by a mob of mobsters. The man was not killed but returned to his family in a disabled state. His eyes are blind, and he looks like he's been mute on purpose." "Gosh..." Lucas muttered under his breath. "So what's that got to do with Anna?" Lucas looked impatient again. "Listen to me first!" Hans protested. trust of Giorgino, Father of Anna. Just so you know, the British intelligence agency or M16 is indeed missing Giorgino. The man's whereabouts are unknown until now after receiving a secret assignment. Either he was kidnapped by a mob, or he is hiding, or the worst thing is that the man is dead but his body has not been found. I also haven't got detailed information about what tasks Giorgino and Raul Altemose were carrying until that man disappeared like now." Lucas tried to digest all the information Hans gave him. For mafia affairs, he really shouldn't be surprised. Lucas once threatened his life because he dealt with various kinds of mafia from various parts of the world. Luckily, the man had many friends who could help overcome any problems that had ever happened. "Then why did Anna come to me?" Hans looked exasperated. The man explained at length Lucas couldn't conclude the news he brought. "It could be, Anna came to you on purpose because she needed protection, Luc."? I mean, if you need my help, why set me up? If that woman asks for help honestly and honestly, I will help her. There's no need to create a scandal like this." Hans nodded. "There are only two possibilities, Luc," the man said. "First, this is just a trap he deliberately set up to gain protection from you, and secondly, the woman is pregnant with your child. and take advantage of this moment to gain cover." "Geez...." Lucas exclaimed in frustration. "How come it's this complicated, huh?" Hans shrugged his shoulders. But my advice, just follow the game first. While I continue to look for evidence to uncover all of this." Lucas leaned forward. He grabbed Hans' wrist and said quietly. "My fate depends on you, Hans. I beg you to quickly reveal all of this. I don't want to be tied to a woman I don't know!" Laughter escaped Hans' lips. "Isn't Anna the woman you've always wanted?" "No!" Lucas shook his head. "I hate her annoying attitude. I beg you, please help me to get out of that woman's snare." "Okay...." Hans decided to get up from his seat. "I will continue to investigate. I'll give you more information as soon as possible."
