CHAPTER 2

Lucas’s POV

I DECIDED to go around for a while first. I didn't really buy anything, I just went with my sister to the grocery store.

My feet carried me to the vegetable’s section. I smiled upon seeing those round green leafy vegetables, my favorite. I took a cabbage but was already touched by who my hand was. It will probably take as well. I shifted a gaze .. and so did the one next to me. I was amused by its reaction. She seemed shocked.

"You?!"

Small world, isn’t it ?! She’s the one I almost ran over earlier.

"Are you following me?" I asked her instead, looking at her face. She is beautiful, even without make-up.

I think the woman's eyebrows met even more than I said.

“The thickness ..” she mumbled.

"Saying something?"

She looked at me fiercely and got a whole of cabbage aferwards.

“Hays Maxine, is there anyone? Nothing. But there is rude arrogance. ”

So Maxine is her name ..

"I'm Lucas ..."

She turned to me violently.

"Excuse me?" She said in a steady tone.

"You were stating your name, so I guessed you wanna know mine." I uttered with amusement as I crossed my arms. i don’t know why I am talking to her but it just that there is something in her that caught my attention. “Girls’ strategy, right? ”

The girl breathed and looked at me with annoyance.

"Hey you, stay away from me before I hit this cabbage in your face!" its nose almost smoked with annoyance.

I can’t help but to smile.

"Do you know that old style?" I'm still teasing her. “Suppose you complain. Women always do that to get men’s attention. ”

She bit her lower lips as if trying to calm herself. The evil she thinks.

“Find someone to talk to! I can't type! ”

She is about to leave when I promptly held her cart that made her shot me another look.

"What's your problem?!"

“Nothing. Maybe you have? ”

"Crazy!"

I couldn’t help but twitch my lips. is she too weird to talk or do people like her really just talk like this?

I came even closer to her. I'm slightly bent, is it a bit small or am I just tall? Tsk, whatever!

"Maybe you want us to just talk about my motorbike?" i asked her in a lower voice. "Do you even know how expensive it is --- its Harley Davidson."

To my comfort it was slightly stunned and pale. The paper even surpassed the color escape on its face.

"Lucas ..."

I looked at that voice.

Big sister.

"Lourine ..."

It's only been a year for me so that's what I call it.

Lourine hissed, stepping towards me. “I thought you left me already. And who’s that girl? ” it looked at the one next to me. "Girlfriend?"

"Hell, no!" I refused. I helped her push her cart. “Let’s go. what comes out of your mouth. ”

I gave the woman a glance first before continuing to walk. I was shaken to look at my hand. I felt like I was electrified when she touched my hand earlier.

“She’s pretty, isn’t she?”

"Who?" dead malicious I asked. I don’t know why sister asked that.

"The woman ..."

"I have not noticed."

"She's beautiful. Even without lipstick on her face, she is still beautiful. ”

"Fine, you said, eh .." I replied just to keep it quiet. Sister is very naughty.

THIRTY minutes before we reached the palace. Our home was on top of a hill.

"Good day Ma'am, Sir!" opening of the guard nooy opened the large gate that served as the barrier of the palace. Sister was in her car while I just followed on my motorcycle.

“I told you darling, you don’t have to do that. Let the maids do that. ” and Mommy. It watches sister while busy arranging the things we bought earlier.

“It’s okay‘ Mom .. I love doing this. Relieves stress. What are you doing, baby brother? ” sister turned to me.

"You didn't buy cabbage?" I asked again while looking for other items.

"No ..."

I frowned at her.

"Wait ..." She turned to me and waved at me. “You were too rush rabbit. You even pulled me ‘didn’t you? it’s your fault baby brother, so I didn’t buy your favorite. ”

"You should insist me to stay ..." I said.

"Enough baby .. I'll just order maids to buy your favorite." Mommy said.

Angry that I turned my back on them. Dunno, but cabbage is just my weakness. Funny, isn’t it? I think that's where I was conceived.

"Lucas ..." Mommy called and I turned around. It let out a deep sigh before speaking.

"Your Grandfather is coming .."

.. “Soon.”

I couldn't speak, even sister was staring at me.

"You can't runaway from it, Son ..." Mommy continued.

"I know .." I almost whispered in response. I secretly clasped my hands. That old man is going to witness my 21st birthday, and that day is the most I don’t want to come in my life.

Maxine’s POV

"Sir, keep a change." I spoke to the taxi drive, We are already in front of the mansion. I put down the purchases one by one.

"Thank you, Miss." said the tricycle driver.

“Youre welcome.”

I FOUND Miss Beatriz in the living room. It reads a magazine. Maybe it's out of date.

"Hey!" I heard it call.

I stopped walking and looked back.

"Why?"

"Bring me a glass of water."

"All right." I replied and went straight to the kitchen bit by bit with the purchases.

"What is that?" Miss Beatriz raised an eyebrow at the glass I was carrying.

"A glass of water, can't you see?" I asked again.

"I know!" She said, "Will you give me a drink without ice?!"

"You didn't say."

"Common sense, stupid!" She angrily said.

"I'll just change it."

"Nevermind!"SHe put down the magazine she was reading and stood up.

shake that I delivered Miss Beatriz a view as she climbed to the top. I really meant that. I'm on a budget today, eh.

I picked up the glass of water to return to the kitchen when my attention was distracted by the picture in the magazine. It's like a family picture. the two women sitting on the long couch were so beautiful. In the back stood three men. My eyes were fixed on the man in the middle in a black-suit --- the arrogant ?! very proud, even in the picture not even smiling, next to it was an old man who was probably its Grandfather. I don't know, but I felt my hair stand on end, as if there was something strange on the old man's face.

[THE MYSTERY BEHIND]

I raised an eyebrow at that caption. what does that mean? Druglords, killers?!
