Xerxes paced the floor, wondering where the fuck his brother was. It was unlike Lucas to go missing. He always told one of them his whereabouts. Right now, all his tracker devices were saying he was at the main house, but no one has seen him since early yesterday.

"Did you check the tracker in his car?" Riley asked as she burped Xylia as he continued to pace the room with his son in his arms. Xavier was staring up at him, cracking a little smile each time he spoke.

"He didn't take his car... he took one of the unmarked cars that don't have trackers for a reason. Luke is in no fucking condition to be running around doing dumb shit. Fuck he is still recovering from being shot and shit."

"I'm sure Luke is okay, Adriel," Ri said, taking Xavier from him. The baby started crying soon as he left his arms. Both were like that, and Riley hated it.

"They like you better than me." She pouted, making X smile shaking his head. "Naw, Daddy just spoils them, that's all," He said, pulling out his phone calling Lucas for the hundredth time that morning.

Lucas woke to a small figure wrapped around his torso. He smiled, looking down at Genesis as she hugged him like he was about to run away. Carefully trying not to wake her, he brushed her curls out her face and slightly rubbing his thumb across her jawline until his phone buzzed, forcing him to break from his trans.

"Yeah."

"Lucas, where the fuck are you? You leave all your fucking shit at the house and don't say a word about your fucking whereabouts. Right now, we have damn enemies everyfuckingwhere, and I can afford to lose you. Are you fucking with her again? That bitch is no good for you. All she sees is fucking money and a fool she can use."

"Well, good morning to you to X. I'm fine and safe... and no, I'm not fucking with her. I needed to clear my mind, so I went to one of the safehouses. I'm sorry if I worried you, little bro. I should have told you I wanted to drop off the grid for a day. I will be home soon, promise."

"Luke, you bet not be fucking lying to me. I will kill that bitch myself if you fucking with her again."

"Xerxes, chill, dude. I'm not fucking with her ass. I'm by myself," Lucas said, looking down at Gen, who was staring up at him with a concerned look. He smiled, sitting them up so he could kiss her forehead.

"Alright, I talk to you later,"

"Later, lil bro," Luke said, hanging up the phone looking at Gen.

"Who was he talking about? Lucas. If you are trying to use me for a fuck you leave now..."

"My ex. He was talking about my Ex... There is nothing to worry about. It's been done with. Know I've been where you are. Loving someone to play me for a fool. You wanted to know if I ever loved. I did, and I got fucked up far worse than you did. Try having the woman love you get pregnant by another and tell you it's yours until he is born. Then have both of them laugh in your fucking face about it. Me, with my dumb-ass, took her back only to be hurt again. I move past that almost two years ago, and I distanced myself from women. One reason most thought I was gay except the ones that knew the truth. I don't know. Something about you drew me to you, maybe because we are two lost souls... Come on, let's go eat." Lucas said, getting out of the bed.

Gen could help but to stare at his abs. Lucas had her feeling all sorts of things. One thing for sure she knew for some strange reason she wanted him. The first male that could get her feelings all fucked up.
