Chaos of events
“But how do you know about Diego? I mean how do you know that he wants to adopt khal?”
Nathalie knew that she never told Lucas that Diego wanted to adopt him. The woman just told Lucas that Diego wanted to meet his son and that would be the first time.
“Oh, I had a meet up with Diego today, in the morning.”
Lucas spouted the truth straight up without hesitating because now he had nothing to hide from her, but he still is not sure how to disclose his identity.
Thus the man spoke about the situation as if he had a casual meet up with the man. Of course Nathalie would never suspect that it was Lucas who hurt Diego and had killed one man in his villa!
After all he was just a poor man who had nothing on him let on the power to do anything big!
“Did he hurt you? Don’t tell me he laid a hand on you.”
Nathalie immediately got panicked and stood up from the table and tried to inspect Lucas as hurt anywhere.
“Are you hurt anywhere? Are you alright? Tell me something, Lucas. And why the hell are you drinking like this?”
She snatched the bottle from his hand while Lucas spoke bothing, he knew that he had to stay calm and put up with her mess.
“No, I’m not hurt anywhere.”
He spoke to her as he averted his stare and tried to hide the fact that he had been mentally disturb with the revelation because no matter how much he had trusted and loved her; the man could never imagine that her secret would be that big.
“He did not hurt me. I just went and we talked like two grown up men and had a talk about Khal. That’s how I know that he wants to adopt him.”
Lucas took the bottle from her and gulped down one more shot because he was unable to handle the mess with clear brain
Although the man was not drunk enough to spot nonsensical comments or do something stupid like disclosing his secret because the man had a high tendency for alcohol.
“Really? Did he say that?”
Nathalie could not believe that he actually said that because Diego had always been a jerk and never bothered searching Nathalie after they both had spent that night together.
After all he had no reason to search for her because the man married the love of his life, and with Nathalie it was a planned fling put up in the place by someone else.
“Yes, he and his wife want to adopt Khal. Now it’s up to you to decide what you want to do, I will be by your side but you have to decide fast and wisely without making the things complicated.”
The man spoke to her when the cell phone rang and Nathalie rushed towards the bed to pick up the call.
“What!? What are you saying!?”
It was the call from her secretary who informed her something bad, no it was not about grandpa Lancaster but something else which held a great importance.
“Is everything alright?”
Lucas walked up to her to ask and put down the bottle on the tablex, the man seemed completely fine and did not have a lousy gait or anything which could indicate that he was drunk.
“No, Diego had snatched two big deals from us because someone had spread the news about khal and the fake headlines had been running all over the television saying that Iwant to keep khal to myself and did not want him to meet his father.”
Lucas’s expression suddenly turned darker than usual. The man had no clue who could have done it but one thing was clear, now it was the time for him to step in the game because things had been wgtying out of Nathalie’s hands.
How could he bear that someone had been targeting and aiming to hurt his wife and smearing her reputation!
“I have to go, we have to go back.”
Nathale panicked after hearing the news all she cared about was grandpa who had never been aware of her secret and definitely the news was big for him to digest.
“Yes, and we are going back immediately. But promise me you will let me stay by your side no matter what.”
Lucas held her by shoulders and looked straight into her eyes since the man could not bear that his wife was hiding secrets from him.
“And no more secrets okay?”
Nathalie nodded at his words and held back her tears because it was not the time for her to let her guard down. She had to find the one who had let the word out and to punish that man was the first task.
Whereas Lucas had his own plan, the man wanted to take Khal away from the orphanage because whoever had spread the news knew about Khal and the boy was definitely in danger now.
Lucas was determined now to use his power to protect his wife and her child!
