CHAPTER. 3 LUCAS P.O.V "Hello! Man, how are you? Okay, I'll be in the house." I hung up the call. It had been three months since we last spoke on the phone. Our previous conversation was when we met at an event. I sat in the dining room, having my breakfast, when Eva walked out of the kitchen towards me. She sat down beside me. "Son, I want to talk to you about something," Eva said. "Okay, Eva, I'm all ears," I replied. "Son, I'm getting old now, and I can't keep doing all the cooking and laundry in the house. So, I've decided to hire a new maid who will come and help me," Eva explained. "I told you a long time ago to stop working, but you refused, Eva," I said, sipping my hot coffee. "You have to rest; if not, you won't see your grandchild." Eva smiled. "I'll stop when I see them. And by the way, are you seeing someone, son?" I laughed out loud, stood up, and hugged her from behind, pecking her cheeks. "You'll be the first to know, my dear Eva." Just then, someone opened the door. "Hello, Eva!" "Hello, Dante! My dear, how are you?" Eva asked. Dante came over and hugged her. "I'm fine, Eva. You look good and strong." Eva hit Dante's arm playfully. "Stop it!" We all laughed. "Um, Lucas, can we talk in your study?" Dante asked. "Oh, okay. Eva, can you get us coffee and cookies?" Lucas requested. "Okay, dear." Eva left, and we headed to the study. Lucas asked Dante to sit down. "What's the matter?" Dante looked troubled. "It's about the sperm I took from you." Lucas's expression changed. "What's wrong with that?" Dante hesitated. "They... sold... it... Lucas." Lucas's face turned red. "What do you mean they've sold it, Dante? You promised me they would only use it in the lab." Dante explained, "We used some of it and left the rest in special storage. I traveled, and when I came back, they had sold it." Lucas's voice rose. "You mean someone bought my sperm?" Just then, Eva walked in with the coffee and cookies. "You did what, Lucas?" she exclaimed, dropping the tray. Dante and Lucas rushed to her side. "Calm down, Eva, please sit down." Dante explained everything to Eva. She was shocked. "Oh my God, it means somebody has your baby somewhere, Lucas." Lucas assured her, "We're not sure of that yet, Eva." Eva's expression turned stern. "Son, you need to find that person now." Lucas turned to Dante. "Dante, you promised me." Dante apologized. "I'm sorry, man." Lucas was furious. "What the f**k were you thinking?" Dante explained that he had obtained the buyer's information from the hospital. "She works at a club as a stripper." Eva and Lucas exclaimed in unison, "A stripper!" Dante continued, "I went to the club looking for her, but I was told she's no longer working there." Lucas asked, "Do you have a picture of her?" Dante replied, "No, Lucas. I was told she wore a mask, so they don't really know her face well." Eva commented, "Wow, she's very clever. So, where do we start searching for her, Dante?" Lucas added, "It's been a year now, and you didn't tell me anything. Where are we going to find her?" ELLE'S P.O.V. "Maya! Come here!" I called out to my stubborn little girl. Since she started walking, she's been a handful to manage. Maya's sister, Dorcas, called out to me, "Mama!!" "Yes, dear," I replied, chasing after Maya. "Your sister is too stubborn." As soon as Maya saw me, she started running. Poor baby, how far can you run? I stretched out my hand and caught her. "Got you!" Maya giggled, and I laughed at her antics. "Come on, I have to bathe both of you before your nanny, Doris, arrives." It's been two years since I had the insemination procedure. I got pregnant a month later and refused to check the baby's gender. Lena and Jessica tried to convince me, but I wanted it to be a surprise. When the due date arrived, I gave birth to two beautiful twin girls, Maya and Dorcas. They have my hair color, but their eyes and features resemble their father. I joke that their father must be a Greek God. As I bathed the girls, Maya splashed water on my face. "Maya, behave!" I scolded, laughing. After bathing them, I brought them to the kitchen and fed them juice from their bottles. It was almost 8 pm, and I was getting ready to go to work. Yes, I'm still a stripper. My nanny, Doris, arrived, and the girls giggled happily when they saw her. I kissed their foreheads and left for the club. As I performed on stage, I noticed a guy in an Armani suit. He was hot, and his suit accentuated his muscular arms. He and his friend were staring at me, and I felt a flutter in my chest. When the guy threw money all over me and smirked, I felt an overwhelming urge to slap him. "Who is this guy?" I wondered. Something about him seemed familiar. As I quickly exited the stage, Eric, the club manager, asked if I was alright. "I'm fine, Eric," I replied, taking the money from him. As Eric turned to leave, I called out to him. "Eric, who is that guy over there, the one in the suit?" Eric replied, "Oh, you mean Lucas Dimitri? He's the owner of L&D, a billionaire." My eyes widened in surprise. "Thanks, Eric." As I turned around, I saw Lucas and his friend walking towards me. I quickly exited the club and called a taxi. As I sat inside, I urged the driver, "Drive fast! Move!" I saw Lucas and his friend running towards my taxi. God, what do they want? Who are these people? DANTE'S P.O.V Lucas and I had been searching for the mysterious stripper lady, jumping from one club to another. We were currently at Club XXX, surrounded by people enjoying themselves. We sat on one of the chairs, ordering our drinks as we scanned the room. As we sipped our drinks, the announcer's voice boomed through the speakers. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome the Mask Lady!" Lucas and I almost choked on our drinks. We immediately turned our heads towards the stage, our eyes fixed on the figure walking into the spotlight. She wore a mask, just like the description we had received. Lucas and I exchanged a glance, our hearts racing with anticipation. Could this be the woman we had been searching for?
