Chapter 2

• Everyone had a peaceful lunch laughing and chatting with each other. 
• After lunch, everyone went to their bedroom.
• The moment Lucas entered his bedroom with Catherine, she said, "Lucas, why don't we go to our home, and we can come back in the evening again."
• Lucas stopped for a moment and frowned but didn't reply to her and went to the bathroom. Catherine stomped her feet angrily, picked her phone, and walked towards the balcony, and sent a message to someone.
• After some time, Lucas came and said, "Cat, rest for some time, I am heading to study room."
• After saying this, he walked out of the bedroom. Catherine doesn't like to come to her in-law's house, and she always felt that Alexa pampered too much.
• She is jealous of Alexa because she is naturally very beautiful; she doesn't need any makeup to look beautiful, although she is of the same age of hers; still, she looks younger than her age.
• And on top of that, everyone in the house over pampers her, which irritates Catherine. 
• Catherine was not from a rich family; when she got married to Lucas, she knew that Lucas was rich, but she never thought that he was filthy rich. 
• Lucas has given her everything a girl wants in her marriage, all the luxuries, she owned many limited edition cars, dresses in her wardrobe were only one piece in the world, but Catherine was still not satisfied. 
• She was getting greedy day by day, she didn't want Lucas to have any connection with his family and divide his shares from the company, but this was the only thing Lucas never heard from her.
• Lucas respects and loves his parents and his siblings, being a husband whatever best he can give to his wife he is willing to do that, but that does not mean he will become her puppet.
• After Lucas left, someone knocked on the door and entered the bedroom after Catherine's permission.
• A maid came in with a dress and said, "Mistress, Young Master asked me to give it to you to wear it in the evening."
• Catherine looked at the evening gown; it was very beautiful. It was designed by the number one designer in the world; finally, her mood pumped up, and a smile crept on her face.
• Lucas has arranged everything for Catherine from necklace to shoes to nail paint, hairpin. He was a very good husband. He loved Catherine very much.
• Alex had asked Lucas to come to the study room after lunch. Once Lucas entered the study room, Alex was already waiting for him.
• Lucas sat on the chair in front of Alex's working desk. When it comes to the bonding between Alex and Lucas, they are a pair of father and son who don't need to talk much about their issue. 
• They can read each other's eyes. Once Lucas settled down, Alex said, "Son, if some decisions can bring peace in the family and lives, why not take it?" 
• Alex knew about Catherine's intentions; he personally didn't like Catherine, but he doesn't want to play the villain in his son's love life; 
• If he wanted, he could have killed her in one a blink, but he knows that his son loves her too much, but he also doesn't want to give him any family pressure.
• So he is fine with the division of shares of the company.
• Lucas replied, "Dad, let me handle it."
• Alex smiled and said, "I trust you; actually, I called you because I am planning to take retirement."
• Lucas frowned and said, "Dad, any specific reason for this decision?"
• Lucas always admired Alex for his sharp business skills, and he always thought that he needed to learn a lot from him, but his early retirement was a little shocking news for him.
• Alex smiled and said, "First is I want to spend my pending life with my wife peacefully, and second don't worry I am here for you as your backbone,  and you are already better than me in business, I trust you."
• Lucas said, "I will respect your decision."
• Alex said, leaving his chair, "Ok, so in the next six months, I will hand over the CEO position to you."
• Lucas just nodded, and they both left the study together.
• After leaving the study room Lucas went to his bedroom, the moment he entered the room, Catherine had just finished a phone call with someone. The moment she saw him, she ran in his arms and hugged him and said, "Baby, I love your present."
• Lucas hugged her back and smiled, he pulled her head and kissed her passionately, soon the kiss went on, he slowly put his hands under her shirt, but before he could proceed in his actions, she pushed him a little and said, "Lucas, I am tired, I get some rest."
• Saying this, she walked towards the bed and lay on the bed.
• Lucas didn't say anything; he went to the other side of the bed and lay down. He had noticed that she tries to keep herself away from him.
• He doesn't even remember when the last time they made love was? Every time she would make some excuse. Initially, he didn't think much about it, but now it had started bothering him.
• He was a well-grown man, and he had his physical needs, and he was not the type of man who believes in cheating his partner, and he doesn't like unknown women touching him.
• He is a man of strong ethics; he believes loyalty is the most important thing in a relationship. In fact, we can say that he is a kind person who had an old school thought process.
• He didn't have any physical relationship with Catherine before marriage, even though they were about to get married.
• Alex feels this quality of being loyal to your love Lucas has inherited from Alice. 
• He didn't forget how Alice tried to keep her chastity for the love of her life even when she was not sure whether they would meet again or not.
• Lucas thought that Catherine might be angry because recently, he was quite busy and not able to give her more time. He thought that he would try to wind up his work soon and go on holiday with her.
• Alice was in Alexa's bedroom; Alexa kept her head in her mother's lap, and Alice was caressing her hair slowly. 
• Alice asked, "Sweetie, what have you thought of doing ahead."
• Alexa sat down in front of Alice and said, "Mom, you know it, what I want to do?"
• Alice cut her off, "Ale, Baby; you know you, Dadda will never agree for that."
• The disappointment was in Alexa's eyes, Alice continued, "Baby, I supported you two years back going against you Dadda, but now he won't agree."
• Alexa replied, "Yes, Ma I understand."
