19 Petrakis Family

Mr Petrakis walked inside the lounge where his wife had been sitting, the man was mumbling to himself about something which seemed t hold some importance.

"What is it, honey?"

The tall slender lady put down her magazine and looked at him with curiosity.

"It must be something big to put you under stress an make you uneasy."

She was well aware of the fact that nothing could really make him upset at all.

"What else it can be!?"

The old man plopped himself in the sofa with an irritated expression, that his wife stood up and walked up to him. She placed her hand on his shoulder and pressed gently, the lady had always been supporting him since they college days.

"Is Lucas fine, honey?"

She knew immediately that the issue must be related to their son. Mrs Petrakis became worried at once about his safety and began to panic since he was all she had left.

"Tell me something? Is he fine? Is Nathalie okay?"

Cara jerked his arm to force him to speak, her voice nearly broke that she was on the verge of bursting into tears. Mr Petrakis held her hand and put it in his own lap, and turned his saddened expression towards her.

"I'm sorry love that I hid this from you, but I didn't want you to face this alone since I was away on the tour."

The old man explained to her before resuming his speech, he made sure she would hear him calmly.

Although she grew impatient and responded to his words with a nod to encourage him to resume. The atmosphere of the lounge suddenly became chilled and depressed, that even having all the luxury of the world they both were pitiful.

"Lucas was being attacked by someone unknown a day before, but don't worry he is fine. Totally fine."

The old man gently squeezed her hand to assure his wife, since she was a woman with a soft and kind heart.

Mrs Petrakis had no clue about anything because Mr Petrakis had strictly restricted his men not to give any depressing news. She recently had passed through the big blow of her other son, Alessandro Petrakis was kicked out of the family for being a trash and for attacking his own brother by hiring some snippers.

"Is...is this also done by Sandro?"

Cara had no idea whom else she should blame other than him, who had already done this once. After all it would not be a wonder if Sandro had done that. Mr Petrakis shook his head and lifted his hand up to caress her cheek.

"No honey, don't worry. It's not him this time, maybe the brat had finally learnt his lesson after being kicked out."

His expression softened right after a tear left her eye and crawled down on her cheek, Mr Petrakis felt guilty for not being able to protect his son and to free his wife from the worry.

"Is Lucas really fine?"

Cara required constant reassurance by her husband, the old man took out his cellphone and showed her the picture of Lucas laying on the hospital bed.

She nearly cried over the picture while Mr Petrakis wrapped her in a hug to console his wife.

"I miss him, I really do."

Her voice broke into a bare whisper as she longed for her to come back as soon as possible, because she really wanted to see her son and daughter-in-law to stay with them.

"I miss him too, love. We have to hold on a little for them to sort out their mess first."

The duo had their backs to support each other and were willing to wait more.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Back there in the villa Nathalie went home and found Lucas coming out of the study room of grandpa Lancaster. A smile appeared on her lips after witnessing him barely able to keep himself in the place, Lucas had injured his one leg which made him stumble a little during walk.

"Hey, hey big guy,"

She rushed towards him and supported him by shoulder, that Nathalie tossed her bag on the floor before he could fall on the ground due to her delay.

Maybe she had actually fallen in love by now, well only if something else would not happen again to fuck their romance. Well, only if the author hadn't planned any such blow.

[Wink!]

"Let me help you."

Hearing her sweet tone Lucas smiled genuinely and his worried heart became calm at once when she approached him.

His heart was sure racing fast that he paused in the very posture while Nathalie was a little below her bending to support him. She too felt herself heated up as the rush of the blood in her veins increased, it seemed as if the time had deliberately slowed down for them to enjoy their moment.

Lucas lifted his hand up and settled her hair lock which had been blocking his view of her hazel eyes, in which he could see a softened gesture. Where he had always found hatred and irritation which made him sad each time, but the man was persistent to woo her that he went through all the lengths to get her attention.

Unknown to Nathalie the crazily rich billionaire guy of the whole damn continent was madly in love with her!

"You look so beautiful, love."

Lucas praised her while she pushed him gently so he would straightened his back, they both still stood outside grandpa's study room, while the old man inside became happy to eavesdrop their conversation and giggled recalling his own days with his wife.

Love is always young!

"Does it hurt? I'm so sorry I didn't realize."

Nathalie became concerned about his shoulder at once after she pushed him, seeing her worried Lucas giggled softly and shook his head.

"It hurt before but after your touch I'm all well, my love. Bless me with your touch frequently, I might recover in a week instead of months!"

He smirked with an evil glint in his eyes. Nathalie laughed and smacked his hand away.

"You are such a diabetic mouthed, you know, Cringe!"

Lucas licked his lips wickedly and replied in a naughty tone.

"But you still like me, no?"

Nathalie was dumbfounded seeing how effortlessly he had tricked her.
