Lucas sat at the end of the large conference table, facing the projection screen that displayed complex graphs about the company's performance. Joe, who always accompanied him, sat beside him, monitoring the reactions of the meeting participants.In the midst of the serious presentation, Lucas's luxurious phone rang. The dark screen of the phone displayed a picture of Bianca, his ex-girlfriend, in a very private moment with him. Lucas felt his heart rate quicken as a threatening message came in.[You might want to watch over that fragile reputation of yours. I can tell Luna, you know.]Joe, sensitive to his boss's expression, noticed the tension on Lucas's face. He hummed quietly, trying to ease the tension."Is everything okay?"Lucas closed his eyes briefly, trying to calm himself. "Yes, it's nothing. Just an unimportant message from a vendor. Continue with the presentation, Joe."Joe nodded, although his concern was still evident. He knew something was wrong but didn't want to make
Lucas sat beside Luna’s bed, holding her hand tightly. Relief that Luna would be okay mixed with a boiling anger inside him after reading the threatening message. That’s when his phone rang again. Lucas quickly answered it, hoping it was good news from Joe.“Joe, any updates?” Lucas asked urgently.On the other end of the line, Joe sighed deeply. “Lucas, we couldn’t identify who sent the terror box. No fingerprints or other identifiable clues. But I’m taking the leftover food in the box to the lab. Maybe we can find DNA traces or origins of the food.”Lucas gripped the phone tightly. “Do whatever it takes, Joe. We need to find out who’s behind this. I can’t let these threats continue.”“Alright, Lucas. I’ll report back as soon as we have something,” Joe said before hanging up.Lucas took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. But before he could feel any real relief, his phone buzzed with a new message. He opened it, and his face immediately paled.[You think you can find me? Joe won
Lucas stood by the window in his study, staring blankly outside. His heart was filled with an anxiety that grew more consuming each day. For a week now, he had been receiving anonymous messages threatening him and watching his every move. The messages came relentlessly, leaving him constantly uneasy and vigilant.“Watch every step you take, Lucas. I am watching.”The first message came via SMS, then through email, and occasionally, a note was slipped under his door. None of these messages were ignored; each one made him feel more and more threatened. His wife, Luna, had nearly been hit by a speeding car with no license plate. Fortunately, Luna only suffered minor injuries, but the incident left Lucas terrified. He couldn’t bear the thought of losing his loved ones due to these unknown threats.Lucas's study was filled with work files scattered across his desk. He sat in his chair, gripping a pen tightly. In front of him was a list of names of people who might hold a grudge against him
Lucas folded his hands and stared at the beautiful decoration he had made himself with his proud face. During these five months, he deliberately saved his salary to rent a luxury hotel at the wishes of Bianca, his beloved.His heart was flowering, pounding with impatience, the intention that had been buried for a long time, now he was able to give a gift right on their special day, today was the day they first became lovers. "Bianca, she must be very happy."Lucas has been preparing for all this, he proposed to his beloved a long time ago, and now he will make a small gift closer to their wedding.Lucas's phone stuck to his ear, but the calls made went unanswered."I think I'm so restless, I should pick him up now," murmured Lucas who then came out of the hotel room. He was not calm because his calls were not answered.Unfortunately, just two steps out of the door, Lucas was speechless by the sight he had just seen.'Deg!'"Bianca!"Lucas was shocked, another shock emerged from the re
"You should have slept with your mother instead of proposing to Bianca, you can't support the cost of living of a woman as beautiful as Bianca, but you can sleep with your mother for free. Because you're both poor, you need love and your mother needs a man's touch." Two punches didn't seem to stop Harry from humbling Lucas and his mother.Harry's provocation seems to succeed in making Lucas even more furious. Harry continued to cover his face from Lucas ' blows. His eyes flushed irritably while Harry laughed amid groans as he was showered with punches, he was almost battered.The commotion in the hallway of the room made other people start to feel uncomfortable. It was only then that the arrival of two male hotel guards was able to pull Lucas apart from Harry.The assault situation stopped and turned in Harry's favor. "Honey, you're all right." Bianca took out a handkerchief wiping the wound in the corner of her lover's lips. The woman who had just seen two men fighting just now looke
Lucas lowered his head in shame, where did it not deserve it? If the man who didn't deserve to be there was right, that's Lucas ' belief. What this beautiful woman said is true. He skipped dinner only to spend time decorating a hotel room that ended up being thrown out into the street.“Do you remember Luna Chasen?” The woman asked again with a new topic.Lucas's body felt the blood flow stopped pumping the heart. "Lu-Na-Cha-Sen? Luna Chasen!”Surprised, Lucas paused for a moment to exhale again calmly.“Luna Chasen, the girl who is my junior in class?” he's starting to notice the details of the facial features the woman in front of him has now.Luke almost forgot to close his eyes. “Where are your glasses?” he used to wear glasses all the time when he was in high school. He knew his younger brother who was always considered cute and geeky in their school days.“I had myopia surgery, and I did it. I thought you had forgotten me, you don't remember my face?”Luna deliberately made a su
Lucas came out of his small room. He is still in shock after getting the news of his dismissal. Trying to step towards the sofa, also the only chair in their living room. The sound of the door was quite clearly audible at a distance of only two meters from where Lucas was sitting, the door was already open. Showing the figure of a middle-aged woman who still looks young. "From anywhere—" "Why, actually, what's wrong with you and Bianca, why can she be with another man?" Lize pushed her son back into a sitting position, she was seen demanding an answer from Lucas.Did you know that we broke up?' he thought with doubt. 'Or have you seen Bianca with Harry?'"Can speak so. Do you know anything?" asks Lucas carefully."I just got off the phone. I heard Bianca's voice with another man. He said You and Bianca broke up, answer me." With a trembling voice, his eyes were filled with anxiety.Lucas is down. "Yes, we broke up. She had an affair with Harry."Lily fell to the floor. "How could it
His eyes blinked as he regained consciousness. Lize can now see herself lying weak in a room she can know the hospital inpatient room with a separate room where she is alone as a patient in the room. His gaze searches for the whereabouts of Lucas, his son. The adult male figure had not yet realized Lize had woken up from her long stupor.Lize called Lucas, startling her son from a daydream from earlier. "Lucas, where is this? Why can be placed in an expensive room, " he said transfixed.Lucas swiftly approached Lize's Gurney. "Calm down Mom. This room has already been paid for by someone."Lize woke up and almost jumped from the bed she was in. "What! Who paid for this? This place is expensive, but I've been good enough. We better go home soon, you're not enough to pay the debt, " cried Lize uneasily, she was agitated. "Calm down, this is all that pays my wife," Lucas answered honestly.Liza glared at Lucas' strange answer. "Did you start fantasizing after the breakup? Or do you go b
