Bianca's tears soothe his infuriation, he hastens to her with his emotions eating him up. “Will you stop hurting yourself? Would you one day let go of the horrendous past and move on?” Lucas raised one eyebrow and leans on the wall. His forehead wrinkled as he stares, waiting for a response or probably a breathing competition.
Bianca was hanging her head, muttering some words to herself. Lucas grabs her arm as soon as she drags her heavy feet.
She sniffles turning around to gaze at the hook pulling her backward. Her eyes were filled with tears, she couldn't turn around to look him in the eye. Her lips quake.
“I tried….I tried to let go but….m…. my past keeps haunting me. I can't be heartsease after discovering that pervert is euphoric after inflicting my whole existence.”
“How can I be elated when I'm not sure of Celine's biological father? I'm faint-hearted about conducting a desoxyribonucleic acid test (DNA). Have a great look at this, I could be David!!” Bianca stares at a spot, hyperventilating.
Lucas hastens to the kitchen, he offered a glass of water, and she took a sip at first then later gulps it all.
“What if she wasn't his daughter? Did you ever think about that…about Celine? You need to muster courage and get yourself together.” Lucas advised, Bianca's eyes widens, and she stooped crying for a while.
Bianca fling the glass cup out of the window, and she became huffy.
“It's all about Celine, isn't it? Don't I also have my life to live? Don't I deserve happiness like everyone else?…. I lost, everything! Do you know how deep those wounds are? Twenty years couldn't heal a wound, Lucas…twenty years!” Bianca yells, pointing her finger at Lucas with her jutting chin. “I won't be happy until David's funeral ”
“Bianca, please. We can't take justice into our hands. Some stations are working on this case. Think of Celine, how do you expect her to react when she sees you this way? You can't be belligerent in this condition. ”
Bianca sniffles, she ran out of Celine's room with her heart soaked in an ocean of tears. Bianca's heart burns as those hurtful memories flashed in her head. “Why does he keep reminding me when he isn't willing to avenge? Why?” Bianca yells, flinging everything to the floor.
Lucas couldn't stand watching Bianca cry, he ran towards her, holding her hands. She paused, panting. Lucas launched to her, he placed a kiss on her lips. She slightly opens her lips for his tongue to have dominance.
Lucas's grip on her tightens, Bianca presses her lips together, pushing Lucas away.
“You…you… you are just like Roberto. You are taking advantage of my helpless situation.”
“What do you mean? I'm only trying to express my feelings.” Lucas said, leaning closer to her with a faded smile.
The weight around Bianca's ankle made it difficult to walk as she shuffled her feet along the corridor. Lucas followed.
“I can do anything to profess my love for you. Anything!!” Lucas uttered.
“Talk to me, Bianca. Your silence is eating me up.”
“You are unhappy because David is living happily, right? How about mutilating him? Will that make you happy?” Lucas yelled.
Bianca turned to him with a straight face
“Will you do that?”
“I will take vengeance just for you Bianca…to prove my unending love.”Lucas modulated, leaning close to Bianca.
“I want vengeance, Lucas. Give him a painful death”
“Alright, I will phone the cops ”
“Are you crazy? My mum tried that several times and the cops end up collecting bribes from the so-called wealthy David. Let's take the law in our hands.”
“What? Do you know I can be arrested for murder? No! I can't do that” Lucas jerked away, crouched on the cushioned chair.
“Ugh…you are a waste of time. After promising heaven and earth, you can't carry out a simple task”
“But…”
“No buts, wait! Don't you love me anymore?” Bianca mumbles.
“What? You know I love you so much”
“No! You are deceiving me, you don't!” Bianca cries, she ran into her room locking the door.
Lucas ran after her “Bianca, get this door open”
“Go away! I want to be alone!” Bianca screams as she curled on her bed.
Lucas shuffles backward till his legs hit a cushioned chair, he clenched his fist swaying the items on the table before him. He slams his fist on the table “Once again, I refused to appease my love”
Lucas took a seat, stroking an imaginary beard. He paused, staring at an open space “No! No! I've sacrificed enough to prove my love. I can involve myself in an illicit act…but what if this is the push I needed a long time ago to have Bianca all to myself?”Lucas grins, rubbing his hands together.
Lucas hops with a dubious smile
“Im in! I would accept the proposal at all costs” Lucas said, he slides out his gun from his pocket, and he fix his gaze on the short pistol.
“What proposal?” A voice asked.
Lucas could recognize that voice before thinking twice, he tilts his head, hiding his pistol.
“Are you awake already?” Lucas questions.
“Yeah, does it look like im asleep” Celine yawns, stretching her arms in the air. Lucas turns to her giving a positive nod.
Celine squints her eyes, “What's with the long face, Dad? Did mum say anything harsh?”
Lucas feigns a smile “Your mum was damn worried about you, your friends brought you home, and you were drunk and dirty.”
“Was that the reason you had a long face? I'm very sure Mum did something harsh this time. I will go have a word with her ” Celine declares, shuffling her legs to Bianca's room.
“Your mum is so mad at us,” Lucas mumbles.
“Dad, I'm aware I'm at fault but we need to settle this issue as the family that we are,” Celine uttered, convincing Lucas. She slides Bianca's room doorknob, her eyes widened as she noticed her room door open.
“Mum has never left her room door open” Curiosity enveloped Celine's mind as she barges into the room. She surveyed the bedroom in anguish. Her gaze met Bianca's figure wholly covered with a duvet.
“Oh, mum is asleep! She's so fond of sleeping” Celine rolls her eyes, and she sits at the side of Bianca's bed. Lucas walks in, he folds his arms on his chest as his eyes cruised Bianca's figure underneath the duvet.
Celine continued ranting on and on but to their surprise, Bianca refused to move an inch, she was frozen on the bed. Celine got frustrated, she push and pull the figure to anchor her attention but it was invalid.
Lucas gapes, and he hastens towards the figure. He promptly throws away the duvet to have a better view. Celine opens her mouth agape, she couldn't believe her eyes at first until she pushed the pillows carved as a feminine figure.
“This means mum has been sneaking out under our noses. But why? Could she be cheating on you?” Celine asks, swaying an invisible mustache. Lucas's eyes ball out, his veins throbbing from his neck, he gawks at Celine.
“Alright, I will leave!” Celine said she gaits out with a radiant smile on her face. “Freedom!” she chuckles on her way out of the bedroom.
Lucas studied his environment, he noticed a map “It seems everything is going as planned.” Lucas beams a smile. He grabs his cell phone and phones a caller saved as boss.
“Boss, It's time to strike!” Lucas confessed with maniacal laughter.
