Chapter 19 - PANIC
"S-Sir ...." Ellena trailed off, when Lucas was right in front of her with only a few inches of distance left.
"What are you doing, Elle?"
Lucas leaned his face forward, so their faces were very close. In fact, Ellena could feel the man\'s breath which smelled so fresh, relaxing her body. However, she was still aware of it, so it didn\'t make her waver to keep avoiding Lucas.
Ellena was just about to shift her body to the side. However, Lucas suddenly put his hand on the door of the closet, making Ellena discouraged.
Lucas deliberately locked Ellena\'s steps, as if he wanted to do something to the woman in front of him. This of course made Ellena even more panicked.
"Where are you going, Elle?" Lucas asked hoarsely, then leaned his head forward even more, as if to kiss Ellena\'s face.
"Mr, please don\'t do that to me!" Ellena screamed slightly with her eyes closed. However, as soon as she opened her eyes again, she realized that the closet door next to her was open.
Ellena rolled her eyes perfectly, when she saw Lucas who opened the closet door. He didn\'t know that was what Lucas was going to do. What was he thinking? Why was she so worried that Lucas would do something to her? he thought.
Ellena was still in the same position, still tense. How come? Lucas was still nearby, so he couldn\'t move. That position really made Ellena\'s heart beat faster.
Lucas seemed to take a yellow folder from the cupboard. I don\'t know what map it is. Lucas looked back at Ellena with his sensual gaze. Ellena closed her eyes as quickly as possible, avoiding that.
"I just wanted to take this, do you demand more from me, to close your eyes like that?" Lucas asked in a sarcastic tone, suddenly making Ellena a little angry.
"He doesn\'t know what he\'s done to me," Ellena muttered under her breath.
Lucas immediately rushed out with the map. Not a single word of response escaped from Ellena\'s mouth. However, at least she could breathe a sigh of relief, after Lucas moved away from her.
"He always makes my heart want to burst. It\'s so annoying!" Elena grumbled while stroking her chest slowly.
For Lucas, Ellena was an innocent woman who always looked scared when she faced him in a closed room. That was why, she loved teasing Ellena like that.
Yes, of course. Lucas was delighted to see Ellena\'s expression, which looked terrified when he was near her, as if he was going to pounce on her. In fact, it never occurred to him to touch the woman in the slightest.
Can not be denied. Ellena is beautiful, even her beauty beats Selena\'s beauty. However, until this moment, Lucas still wasn\'t interested in her. So, how could he be willing to touch a woman who didn\'t interest him at all.
***
In the evening, right after having dinner together, Ellena, who was already in the room, seemed to be pacing incoherently. Her attitude is certainly not without reason. There was something that made her uneasy.
She had nothing on mind but to worry about her fate tonight, after her mother-in-law escorted her straight to the room with Lucas.
During dinner last night, Veronica, her in-laws talked too much about the grandson she had wanted for so long. Conside, she will soon have a grandson, Ellena and Lucas\' love child.
This can\'t be allowed! I need to talk to Lucas about this as soon as possible, he thought at the time.
Ellena stopped pacing and turned towards the bathroom door.
"Arrgh, why was he there so long?" Ellena grumbled who seemed to be waiting for Lucas to come out of the bathroom. "Doesn\'t he know that there\'s something I want to talk about?" he added later.
It didn\'t take long for Ellena to wait, suddenly the bathroom door opened, making her focus on the bathroom. Lucas appeared who was already wearing different clothes from before. This time Lucas was seen wearing navy checkered pajamas.
Lucas looked at Ellena who was now looking at him. He frowned slightly, surprised by Ellena\'s gaze this time. Just as he was about to ask a question, Ellena suddenly walked up to him. He also refused to return.
"Sir, there\'s something I want to talk to you about," said Ellena nervously.
Yes, it\'s always been like that. For some reason Ellena was always nervous in front of Lucas. Maybe it was because Lucas had always been firm and powerful, so that it made Ellena feel not free with 2 own attitude, as if she was always afraid of being wrong about her words or behavior in front of Lucas.
Lucas was silent for a moment, before responding. "Sit down! What do you want to talk about?" Lucas walked over, then landed himself on the bed.
With a feeling of hesitation, Ellena sat on the edge of the bed a good distance away.
"I-I... I honestly thought about what Mami Vero said. Will you grant her wish? No! I-I mean ... Mr. wouldn\'t do that to me, would you?" Ellena\'s question instantly made Lucas chuckle. However, only for a moment.
"What do you mean?" Lucas asked, holding back a little laugh.
Elena frowned slightly. "I\'m just worried if you do something wrong," he said, looking down weakly.
"Mr, doesn\'t intend to break our agreement, right?" Ellena looked up again, looking intently at Lucas\' face.
"Go to sleep, it\'s late!" Lucas ordered without responding to Ellena\'s question. "I\'m going to sleep on the couch tonight." Lucas got up from his seat, then was about to rush over to the sofa located near the bedroom window.
"No, Sir!"
Ellena\'s voice made Lucas stop, then turned to the woman.
"Let me sleep on the sofa. Besides, this is Master\'s room, not mine," said Ellena as she got up.
"You sleep on the bed, let me sleep on the sofa," Lucas refused.
"No, let me sleep on the couch." Ellena walked over to the sofa. However, Lucas stopped him for a moment.
"You want to argue with me?" Lucas raised his voice. He widened his eyes at Elena. "I don\'t like being denied. Do as I\'m told!" he said then, suddenly making Ellena look down.
"Fine," Ellena whispered, only obedient.
"Oh yeah, starting tomorrow don\'t be so stiff. Act like husband and wife, especially in front of other people, especially my family, and don\'t call me that!" Lucas insisted which made Ellena stunned for a moment.
"You understand?" Lucas asked who managed to break Ellena\'s daydream.
"Then what should I call?" asked Elena confused.
"Up to you!" Lucas replied.
"Older brother?"
"Am I your brother?" Lucas rolled his eyes. "Just call me by name!" ask
"Okay."
