Broken Aphrodite

Chapter 31

~Eva

My mother's eyes widen and she looks at Lucas up and down then back at me , she blinks . I try not to roll my eyes and turn to my father .

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming ?" I ask and he smiles nervously , I know they're hiding something .

"I was just making a tour around here , no big deal . your mother wanted to come along " . this is so fucking annoying seeing how fooled my dad is . 

She's the sneakiest woman ever and he still believes her . Flora tugs me to the side and smiles in triumph . of what ? .

"Life seems to go well with you " she says looking at Lucas who was talking to my father then back at me .

"What do you mean?" I ask annoyed .

She folds her arms and smirks "you know from Max to Lucas , you seem to have your ways with men easily " . anger boils inside me , but this time I decide to not show her how much she affects me . 

"No wonder I'm your daughter" I say smiling but I know my smile is nothing near real . She lifts her head up and glare at me . I leave her and walk back to dad and Lucas .

"Eva sweetie I think we should leave " Dad says and I just nod . He takes Flora's hand and leads her to the elevator . I watch them as they get in talking like they aren't divorced or that she hasn't left us and broke father's heart , leaving me alone . 

I quickly turn and walk as fast as I can to my office . Ignoring Lucas who called my name to get my attention . through the rest of the day I bury myself with work papers and contracts to distract myself . 

How am I going to convince my father what a bitch Flora is ? can't he see that ? . He's a grown man he should know what he's doing , clearly he doesn't . I need to do something ,

Yesterday when I came back from Lucas's I had a talk with him , it was so hard to lie to him ..I thought he would never believe me . but for my surprise he did , he even said that he felt there was something special between us . such a relief, but then when I tried to talk to him about Flora he said that I don't understand and closed the subject . What is it that I don't understand ? . 

I need to do something and stop them from seeing each other , she's going to hurt my father again and I'm sure he won't be able to take it this time . He's sick and she has the nerve to fool him in this state . I'm not going to let this go .

Suddenly My door opens and Lucas walks in . I scowl at him "Haven't heard of something called knocking ? " I say , I'm in a shitty mood today .

He leans on the door and stares at me . My heart starts pounding against my chest , that look on his face , the bossy demanding look , the hot one .

Lucas~ 

She's wearing glasses . I need to calm the hell down . With her hair up , that dress and the glasses , it nearly killed me . She looks like a naughty businesswoman . Many scenes run through my mind . the things I'd do if she were mine, really mine . " Hello ! " she waves her hand in my direction . 

I shake my head and walk closer "What's wrong?" I ask and she turns her head . 

"Nothing . why are you here ?" she asks not looking at me .

"I'm your boyfriend" I say happily .

I see a trace of a smile on her kissable lips . she clears he throat " I'm serious" she says .
