Chapter 23

(J Balvin- Forever My Love ft. Ed Sheeran)

“Where are we going?” I voiced out when we were walking in the park direction, we didn’t use the underground car park.

“We are going for lunch.” Aiden replied.

We ordered their special dishes when we got to the restaurant, we are in a private room. The appetizers came first before the main meal.

Reaping what she did not sow.

All thanks to my mom and dad for grooming me to who I am today. I love them so much.

I am at this height because of my parents, they supported me and believed me when no one did.

Always remember this, your parents are your best foundation.

“Excuse me.” I stopped eating midway taking my bag with me.

“Are you going?” Gio questioned before I stepped outside the room.

“No.” I quickly walked out of the room closing the door to prevent more questions from coming.

I passed the cashier for the private rooms, I stopped when I remembered.

Reaping what she did not sow.

“Excuse me, what's the bill for room 03?” I asked getting my purse from my bag.

“One minute ma'am.” The cashier responded checking the total cost.

“What are you doing?” Gio jeered glaring at me.

“What does it look like I’m doing?” I quipped taking my black card out. “What are you doing?” I muttered harshly when he grabbed my hand dragging me along with him. “This is the females'.” I scoffed when we entered the female's restroom, what does he think he's doing? He checked every cubicle before locking the door.

“What’s wrong?” His expression softened.

“Nothing.” I replied quickly keeping my cold demeanor.

“You don't deceive me Lucky, what's going on?” Why is he so certain something is up? And what if something's up, does he think I’ll tell him just like that?

“Why are we…” Gio pulled me into his embrace. “What are you doing?”

“I know something is troubling you but you want to be mute.” He said tightening his embrace. “You don't fool me Lucky, is it because of him?”

I tensed up when I heard his question. “Who is he? And I’m fine.” I tried breaking the hug.

“Travis, is it because of him Lucky?” He pulled me back patting my back.

I inhaled a shaky breath try so hard not to reminisce anything that would make me break down. Breathe in breathe out, breathe in breathe out, in out, in out.

“What are you doing?” I gasped when he lifted me up by my waist, he placed me on the vanity table.

“Is it because of him? Travis?” He asked again facing me cupping my face.

“What if a word gets out? We are in public and I don't understand why you are doing this.” I tried escaping the question.

He texted someone on his phone. “Andrés is a major shareholder of this restaurant, so don't worry.” He tried holding my gaze but I avoided it. “Look at me Lucky, it's him? Isn't it?”

I nodded knowing we'll keep going back and forth if I don't give an answer. “Now, can I go?” He stood between my legs hugging me again. “Gio, this is inappropriate.”
