"I..I.. have something to say, Olivia..

" his words started to turn timid, making her feel the awkwardness increasing between them.

His hands held her jaw softly, with the proximity between the faces as close as if they could hear each other's heartbeat.

"Wh..what is disturbing you, Lucas..

"

That was the first time when she saw that Lucas wasn't looking at her. Keeping her in his embrace his mind was somewhere else and it was hard to know where.

'isn't someone like.. who will not look into eyes..' her guts told her something is big enough for him to behave in this manner for sure.

"Well..

" taking a deep breath he caressed her jaws with his light fingers, making her feel the current passing through her entire body. She could sense that the simple touch left a deep impact already.

"I got a message.

" The simple comment didn't help her to give her any hint.

"What kind of message did you get?

"

"A message from the unknown number.

" He was trying to narrate 3 but who knows what is holding him back. His eyelids were lower than usual, with his outer surface almost in contrast to his usual behavior.

'And for the very first time... I'm seeing this gentle Lucas in my life..' he is an aggressive man and she has seen his shades already. Yet, today, something seems literal off.

"Lucas, you know you can share everything with me. I'm with you in every position and situation..

" her reply made him feel the comforts when he wrapped his other hand on his neck to keep his head a little bit up.

"I got a message from someone saying that… she is pregnant with my child.

"

THUD!

THUD!

Olivia's eyes widened in shock. The surprise was evident to her face where she was no less shocked to hear this out.

"P..please.. say this is a joke. No! You're just kidding and playing a prank over me..

"

"I wish.. I wish.. this was the joke that I said to you. Unfortunately, this is the ultimate truth that I'm currently facing..

" Lucas was serious and showed how she could see this through his eyes.

But she didn't give a ** about his worry!

At this point in her life, where are the current problems not enough for something like this to pop out as well?

"Who is the person who messaged?

"

With respect to this, she received a shock from his side.

"I have no idea about that at all.

"

"Not a single hint?

" She raises her eyebrows, in the anticipation of learning something. However, Lucas seemed clueless regarding the situation.

Just staring at this face, she knew that this was a much bigger blow than what she could ever expect out of him.

'Someone pregnant with his child and he has no idea who the lady is.. god… why is it getting more messed up?' Only if she had any way to find out about the lady and get her hand over her..

"But do you.. do you have any guesses who can do it? Pregnant.. with.. your child?

" The words came out in a stammering manner since she wasn't sure how to even react at this stage.

The child.. the unwanted child and surely, Lucas isn't ready to be the father.

At this point of his life, all he is looking out for is for some time pass.... and the **. That was his goal for the next few years. Neither did he expect something unexpected out of him.

'I.. have been spending time with him for so long and.. always took precautions. Who can be the lady who dares to not follow the rules?' It was that compulsory for the lady to take the contraceptives immediately after having sex with Lucas.

Unluckily, they have no clue about the lady, not even a bit.

"Here..

" he took the phone out of his pocket and handed it to her.

"This is the number from which I got the message. No clue, nothing. Just one message and I can't do anything..

"

Olivia's eyes widened to see the message as her grip tightened around his phone. The message was clear, 'I'm pregnant with your child Lucas, our child. Not any joke with you.'

But she literally found this to be nothing but lame.

"Maybe someone is trying to blackmail you on this? There are chances, you know, who doesn't want to be the Smith family's child and.. especially,.. the child of the legal heir..

"

She found the probability to be as high as mountains, but Lucas immediately denied that.

"I doubt. My intuitions are telling me that this is the truth.

"

Reacting to this, he took the seat on the messed up bed, letting a tired sigh out of his lips,

"This is… unbelievable..

"

"To be honest, shocking.

" Moreover, how was she supposed to react to this deed done? Maybe she was with Lucas for her selfish motives but the soft corner she holds for this man.. can never be denied ever in this time.

Neither does she have the heart to accept this cruel reality, nor can she do anything after all her hands are tied with no further information in their hands.

"What do you plan to do Lucas...

" she took the support of the wall and stood against it. Her head was a little bit low but she never tore her eyes from Lucas's end.

"I don't know yet but will figure this out very soon...

"

"Have you told about this to your mother and grandfather?

" She suspected he would, yet this was big enough news.

"No, I haven't

"

As expected out of him, he will not do something big enough without even knowing the name of the lady even.

"You have **ed so many girls over the past couple of months.. it is hard to tell out a single name..

"

"Indeed it is. God... this is getting over my nerves now!

" Lucas was hell out of worried, so was she when another bomb was dropped over her head.

Her eyes were already heavy when she felt the straight line on her neck as well. 'That stranger's girl was tight..' nevertheless, it was tight, it wasn't hard to imagine that it must have left a deep mark and well.

However, due to her turtleneck sweater, it was hard to even see him,

"Lucas, go and tell your grandfather about it..

"

As she said these words, Lucas shot her a glare, making her feel the urge to take back her own words.

"You want me to get disowned, don't you?

"
