Lucas POV 

We walked into the party and all eyes were on her as they should be. She really did look stunning it was out of this world. Many whispers were heard but were quickly interrupted by Jackson walking to the DJ booth and giving him a different play list.  

"Lucas my man" Jackson walked up to me patting my back and bro hugging me. 

"Hey Wang! How is life?" He opened his mouth to speak when he noticed (Y/N) and Yeonjun behind me. 

"Wow who is that?" He asked me taking a sip of his drink. 

"That is (Y/N) and her boy friend Yeonjun. They are the ones I called for to have a meeting with you." He analyzed (Y/N) and Yeonjun before walking over to them and introducing himself. 

"Hi I am Jackson Wang I heard you are looking for me." I heard him say shaking (Y/N) and Yeonjuns hand. 

"Yes sir we have some questions about an account we came across connected to you." Yeonjun glanced at (Y/N) to see if she was okay. 

"Yeah I would love to help you. How about we step into a more private area? Lucas you coming?" He flung his arm over my shoulder holding me close. "Is this the one that got away?" He asked whispering in my ear. 

"Sadly yes and as you can see she is taken." The sorrow in his eyes said it all but I gave him a reassuring smile. 

(Y/N) POV

We followed him to a library that was off limits to the myriad of guest at the party. All dressed to impress and having a good time. We all sat down on a circular sectional facing each other. 

"Okay so we are here because my dad was involved with his late father. His late father left everything to him and we found some documents that lead to you. In more detail this account." They all watched me take the documents out from under my dress where they were in a small purse wrapped around my thigh. 

"She is bad ass" Jackson blurted out while Yeonjun and Lucas glanced at each other wide eyed not expecting any of this. 

"Yes she is" They both said in unison. 

"This account was an account I used to use when I was working undercover as a PI (Private Investigator). I did a job for a huge private company one time about 5 years ago. Everything was done through a private burner cell I had to destroy after using." He got uneasy and shifted uncomfortable thinking of that mission. We could here everyone outside having the time of their lives causing him to get distracted for a millisecond. 

"Who were you investigating?" Yeonjun asked gaining his attention back to the conversation. 

"I was investigating another PI that had gone off the grid. He wasn't doing anything except raising his best friends daughter then moved away from them after a fight. I heard he got the girl back a year ago give or take." My heart plummeted to my feet when it hit me that he was investigation Buby. 

"Was his name Michael but went by Buby?" I asked terrified of the answer. 

"Yes" His voice was low and full of regret. "I have been in hiding but when I knew your dad had died I threw this party. In my line of work with the sketchy ass people that contract me to work for them I never thought I would be alive at this age." We heard screaming outside and some gun shots. 

"You should have never thrown this party. My dad was working closely with is meaning you life is still heavily in danger. You need to leave an escape now but before you go where is this account based in." We all started scrambling to our feet and the nearest exit. Jackson opened a hidden exit and motioned us over. 

"I made that account in Australia. You need to get in contact with a man name Christopher. He can help you and I know for a fact is the next person on your list as well." The room door swung open and we heard yelling. I screamed when I saw Jackson get shot and close the door for us to escape. 

"Come on we don't have much time. I called Buby he is waiting for us. We just have to walk to that door at the end of the hall." Lucas pulled me to the door while Yeonjun ran next to us. I had tripped over my dress and hurt my ankle. Lucas pulled me into his arms carrying me out and into Buby's car. 

"Are you not coming with us?" I took his hand to stop him from leaving after he had turned around. He looked up at Yeonjun behind me strapping me in the car. 

"No baby. I need to handle something. If I don't see you I really want you to know that I have not loved anyone else since you walked out of my life. we were never together but I keep thinking if we were older maybe it would have worked out. I probably will never love anyone else but I know Yeonjun will take good care of you." He pulled me into a passionate kiss letting a single tear fall from his left eyes. He pulled away and nodded at Yeonjun and Buby. 

"LUCAS!!!!" I yelled while he ran back in the house. 

"Don't look back princess" Yeonjun pulled me into his body and Buby stepped on it. A few seconds later all we heard was an explosion. I squeezed my eyes shut knowing Lucas had something to do with that. I was just glad everyone had evacuated, but the mournful feeling settled in my broken heart knowing he was still inside. 

"LUCAS!" I cried out. I know I didn't love him the way he did but he was still a very good friend and I cared for him deeply. 

"I know princess just try to relax." Yeonjun silently cried at my fragile state. 

"We are leaving right now to Australia. Tita picked up your things from his apartment and is waiting for us at the airport already." Buby looked through the rearview mirror to make sure we were not being followed. 

We made it to the airport but when we boarded the private jet Mom and Tita were being held hostage by three men with guns. I had had enough of tonight losing Lucas and being so close to death again. My vision went red and the last thing I remember doing was tearing the skirt of my dress.
