LUCAS'S P.O.V
Dante and I sat there, gazing at the Mask Lady. Finally, we had found her. She had a stunning hourglass figure, medium-sized breasts, and a round butt. She was beautiful.
"Lucas, I think she's the one," Dante whispered.
"I also think so," I replied, "but Dante, she doesn't look like someone who's given birth. She looks hot."
Dante nodded in agreement.
"Wait, Lucas, she's looking at you," Dante said.
I stood up and walked towards her, throwing money at her feet. She was an excellent dancer, and when she finished, she quickly exited the stage.
I called out to Dante, and we started walking towards her. She noticed us and quickly ran out of the club.
"Wait! Please! I mean no harm," I shouted.
She hailed a taxi and sped away.
"s**t! We lost her," I exclaimed.
Dante suggested, "Let's go talk to Eric, maybe he knows something about her."
We walked to Eric's office. "Yo, man, welcome! Long time, Eric said."
"Please, have a seat. How may I help you, Lucas?" Eric asked.
"Eric, we need your help. The Mask Lady, how well do you know her?" I inquired.
Eric's expression turned serious. "Oh, really? Okay, her name is Elle Dickson. She's a quiet girl, and all the men here fear to touch her. She's an excellent dancer, too."
Dante asked, "So, what's the reason she was out of the system for a year?"
Eric replied, "Because she was pregnant. I was surprised when she told me she was pregnant."
I asked, "So, has she given birth?"
Eric nodded. "Yes, a year ago."
I was stunned. "How can a stripper be a mother?"
Dante chimed in, "Thanks, Eric, for giving us this information. We're grateful."
As we left the club, I turned to Dante and said, "She's a mystery lady."
Dante grinned. "Wow, Lucas, you're a dad now."
I glared at him. "Thanks to you."
Dante chuckled. "Shut the f**k up, Dante."
I warned him, "Take it easy, man. I know you messed up, but I'm happy for you."
Dante continued, "I know you're not ready for a child now, Lucas, but Eva and your mom will be thrilled to hear this. You'll be a great dad."
I sighed. "I'll call her to the lab tomorrow. After that, we'll meet you at your office, Dante."
Dante nodded. "I hope everything goes smoothly tomorrow."
I raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean if everything goes smoothly, Dante?"
Dante explained, "Lucas, she bought the sperm from the hospital, so she has every right to the child."
I countered, "So do I, Dante. I also have equal rights."
Dante calmed me down. "Calm down, Lucas. We'll solve everything peacefully."
I warned him, "You better do that, Dante."
Dante reassured me, "I will, man. See you tomorrow."
We parted ways, and I couldn't help but think that tomorrow would bring new challenges.
ELLE'S P.O.V
I heard a cry from the baby monitor. "Aww, coming!" I stood up, tired, and walked to their room. My twin girls, Maya and Dorcas, were standing in their cribs.
"Good morning, my cuties!" I exclaimed, and they raised their arms for me to pick them up.
I stood in the middle of their room, feeling exhausted. "Girls, Mama's not feeling well today."
Dorcas called out, "Mama!" and I relented. "Okay, let me put you both down." I placed them on the floor, and they began to walk, their chubby legs wobbling.
We headed to the kitchen, where I fed them mashed potatoes, milk, and scrambled eggs. After breakfast, I bathed them and put them down for a nap.
I decided to take a break from work at the club for a week. Just as I was about to rest, my phone rang.
"Elle speaking," I answered.
"Hello, Elle. Will you come in today?" Eric asked.
"No, Eric, I'm not feeling well," I replied.
Eric said, "Okay, you can rest all you want."
I asked, "Um, Eric, the guy... I mean, the owner of L&D, did he come looking for me?"
Eric replied, "Oh, you mean Lucas? They stormed by, but they didn't ask for you."
I thanked Eric and hung up. Just as I was about to put my phone down, another call came through.
"Hello, Elle speaking," I answered.
"Hi... um... I'm Dante from Hope Hospital. I work in the lab," the caller said.
I replied, "I know Hope Hospital, but I don't remember anyone called Dante."
Dante explained, "Yeah, I wasn't there at that time."
I asked, "Okay, how may I help you, Mr. Dante?"
Dante said, "Please, we need you at the hospital for an error we made."
I inquired, "An error on what?"
Dante replied, "We can't explain it over the phone, madam. So, please, can you come to the hospital?"
I agreed to go, and we hung up. I wondered what error they could have made at the hospital.
I called Jessica, "Hey, Jess, can you please come over?"
Jessica arrived, and I filled her in on the phone call from Dante. She offered to accompany me to the hospital, but I asked her to stay and watch the girls instead.
We arranged for Mrs. Beth, Jessica's neighbor, to watch the girls, and then we headed to the hospital.
At the hospital, we asked for Mr. Dante and were directed to his office. When we entered, Dante's back was facing us. He turned around, and my eyes widened in surprise.
He was the guy I met at the club, the one with the Greek God looks. He smirked at me, and I felt a flutter in my chest.
"Um... you're the guy I saw in the club yesterday," I said, trying to compose myself.
Dante replied, "Yeah, but you ran away."
I asked, "What are you doing here?"
He said, "I work here."
I was stunned. "You're Mr. Dante?"
Dante nodded, and I felt a sense of unease. How did he know my name?
Jessica whispered in my ear, "He's hot."
I silenced her with a glance, and we sat down to hear what Dante had to say.
