Chapter 5
- Lucas
- I am in the office. It was already 5 pm. I brought Luke here because I didn't have time for him. I always drowned myself to work.
- Luke was with Rosaline, his nanny. She was guiding him to walk cause my baby was starting to learn to walk now. He needed protection in case he falls.
- I was just finishing this paperwork and contracts. Leticia texted me that she is going to meet me here. She will introduce me to someone. I didn't know whom but I didn't care at all.
- Some cheap girls... I guess.
- After I finished my errands. I pressed the intercom and called Rosaline to bring Luke here.
- A knocked echoed in my office and I told them to come in.
- Rosaline came in with Luke in her arms.
- "Let Luke walk up to me," I ordered. She nodded and guided Luke to step on the floor.
- "Come to daddy, baby," I said softly.
- Luke smiled slightly, walking towards me. He was about to reach me but he got out of balance.
- “O-oh…”
- I am still glad he reached me half of it.
- I got up and went over to him then picked him up.
- "How's my son doing?" I kissed his forehead and he clapped his little hands.
- I knocked interrupt my bonding with my son.
- Sabrina peeps at the door; I raised an eyebrow for her to continue.
- "Sir, your sister is here." She informed and I just nodded while soothing Luke's back.
- I heard my sister stilettos tapping on the floor becoming louder and louder.
- She looked at me teasingly. "How are my dear brother and my baby Luke?" She asked sarcastically.
- I looked at her but someone in her back caught my attention more. I cannot fully see her yet, Leticia was blocking her I knew it was a girl.
- "What do you need? " I snapped not wanting to talk playfully.
- I am tired.
- "Your soon to be wife is here." She said and moved out of the way.
- "You can take a sit," I said blankly.
- I saw the girl had long black hair, Black eyes twinkling, and looking sexy as damn.
- Did I think that? I shook my head quickly.
- Darn.
- "Girls are gold-digger. Remember Lucas? " I scolded myself inside.
- "Stop drooling," Leticia said and winked at me.
- "I did not." I huffed. ‘I just looked at her to be sure, she is decent.
- Looks are deceiving.
- "Sure you are not." She replied sarcastically while eyeing me you-are-.
- "What do you want?" I snapped. She is not going to let this go if I did not stop.
- She put her hands on her hips. "Yeah so... I am here to introduce to you, Aria. You are going to marry her tomorrow." She said straight to the point. I looked at the girl named Aria. She was looking down.
- "Whatever." I dismissed.
- "Don't be like that." She growled and I glared at her.
- "What do you want me to do kneel down at her and thank her. Hell no!" I bursted out.
- I heard her sighed, rolling her eyes on me, and whispered something to Aria.
- Luke changed his position looking at them and clapped his hands.
- "M…mo-mmy…" He squealed and clapped his hands. He rarely does this and the smile he was wearing was reaching up into his ears.
- He really needs this.
- "Hi, Luke." Aria's voice making me look at her unwantedly. A very heavenly voice of her.
- Not bad.
- "See," Leticia said and grinning at me. I rolled my eyes.
- "Aria that is Luke's father. Lucas Wighten." She said, pointing at me.
- I gave her a curt nod.
- "Nice to meet you, can I hold Luke?" She said politely.
- I nodded.
- "Rosaline give Luke to her," I said sternly. Rosaline stood up and got Luke from me.
- "Aria, that's Rosaline." She pointed to Rosaline. "Luke's nanny. In case you needed her, she is with you and will do what you said, " she added.
- I huffed. My sister was really getting on my nerves. She is letting a girl rule my son's nanny.
- Aria picked Luke from Rosaline and carried him in her arms. Luke giggled and smiled. I never knew my son could smile like this and for the person, I didn't know.
- "M..mo-mmy," he spoke cutely. Aria cooed him and kissed his forehead.
- Luke circled his arms to Aria's neck. She is really pretty.
- "Aria, excuse us, we are just going to talk. Me and LUCAS." Leticia informed Aria and me, hardly saying my name.
- She nodded and started to play again with Luke.
- Leticia mouthed me "where". I mouthed her to “follow me”.
- I stood up and walk past them. I could feel Aria stole a glance at me. I didn't turn to look at her. What for? She is like the girls who are in for money.
- I walked to the conference room.
- Once we enter, Leticia slammed the door shut.
- "What?" I asked confusingly.
- "Is she fine for you?"
- "It's alright, I think she is good for my son," I said boringly.
- "Good to know…get married tomorrow. She will stay at your house and she will not go to work. I already informed her about the things, she needed to do and not to do." She explained.
- "I won't do anything further. It's already up to you, talk to her if any things you want to discuss like packing things or anything." She added.
- I flexed my neck and stared at her.
- "How much did you pay her? " I asked. I knew there is an exchange for this arrangement.
- "I paid her father's debt." She said boringly like my tone.
- See... I knew it from the start.
- "Gold digger," I muttered under my breath.
- "She is not and don't hurt her Lucas. I am warning you." She snapped seriously and I nodded irritated. "I am not messing around with you."
- I loosen my tie and opened the two buttons of my suit.
- "Fine, anything else?"
- She shook her head no and I nodded.
- "Let's go back."
- We left the conference room and walked back to the office.
- I heard Luke's baby laughs.
- "You can go home and get ready for everything, after the event tomorrow. You will stay with me." I said harshly. I opened up my arms to get Luke but he hugged Aria tightly.
- "Go to your daddy, Luke. Mommy will be back tomorrow." She said softly, kissing his forehead.
- Thanked God. Luke let me pick him up. She is not that bad.
- "I am going." She said softly and stood up.
- "Let's go Aria. Let's party first before you get married tomorrow " Leticia said, changing the mood.
- She already planned again.
- "Bye brother and bye Luke. " She walked and kissed Luke's cheeks.
- I nodded at them and they left in no time.
- I sat on my swivel chair.
- "Are you happy baby Luke? You have a mommy already." I asked my baby.
- He smiled in return and clapped his small hands.
- "Sir, Luke needs his milk. " Rosaline reminded and I offered my hand for her to give me Luke's bottled milk.
- I laid down Luke in my arms and he started sucking his bottled milk. He never experienced breast milk.
- I ran my thumb through his forehead lulling him to sleep.
