Lucas POV
I'm currently in Rafael's Bar drinking. I need to clear up my mind and this is the only thing that can help.
"what's up man? " Rafael said as he place another glass in front of me. "you seem like a lovesick teenager" he said laughing.
I gave him a warning look "shut the f**k up" I replied as I zip on my drink.
He chuckle and did the same. "By the way I invited some girls, let's have fun tonight" just then four girls enter the room.
"maybe this is what I needed" I murmur to myself. Two girls came to me and the other two is with rafael. We drink and made out all night. One of the girls tried to unbotton me and that's when I pushed her. I don't know why I did that but I suddenly felt like I'm betraying Amelia.
"What's wrong with you? " the girl said with her nasal voice.
"What now man? " rafael said
"I have to go" I said and with that I left
When I got home I saw Amelia sleeping in the sofa with the tv still on. She probably fell asleep watching. I turned the tv off as I carry her to her room.
I carefully lay her in bed and sat beside her. She sleeps peacefully, she seems so fragile and innocent. "How can I marry someone like you Amelia? What are you doing to me? How can someone as good as you be with me? "
I kissed her forehead "good night" before I left her room.

Amelia POV
I woke up in my bed the following day "how did I get here? " I remembered myself watching tv last night "did he carry me all the way up here? "
I decided to take a shower before heading down the kitchen. It's 8 in the morning, I'm sure Lucas already left for work.
The week has passed and our routine remained. He's gone when I woke up and I'm asleep when he's back home.
Later in the evening Lucas got out with his men. I'm not sure where they are going but it seemed to be urgent.
I ate dinner alone and gone to bed but I can't sleep.
I tried to flip from one side to the other but sleep is not coming. I checked my watch and it says 1 am. Oh someone's going to be waking up late tomorrow.
I don't know what happenend but it felt so warm whenever I'm with him even if he's the coldest person I've ever known.
I decided to grab a milk to help me get some sleep so I decided to go down. I was about to go to the kitchen when the door suddenly burst open and I see Lucas with his men. He has his coat soaked and when I look at the floor blood is dripping from it. I instantly approached him.
"Lucas, what happened?" I asked.
"I'm fine, go to your room" he said
"Why aren't you going to the hospital? You're bleeding so badly. What happened?" I follow them to his room and his men left him there.
"Aren't you going to help him out?" I asked them
"He don't want to be disturbed. He will be fine" one of them said. That's when I decided to barge in his room. He looked at me with his angry expression
"I said go back to your room" he shouted
"Can you calm down? I'm not going anywhere, so stop shouting and let me help you" I told him and he didn't say anything
I let him pull off his suit and trousers which is drenched from blood. He had a cut in his left side and I can't help but cringed at the sight.
"What the hell are you guys doing to get this kind of wound?" I asked him
"No questions" he reminded me. I just rolled my eyes at him
"Go to the bathroom, clean the blood all over your body". "Can't" he said wincing
I help him stand and slowly walk holding his side. I need to put some pressure to stop the bleeding. Don't want anyone to help him but can't even walk himself to the bathroom.
I let him sit and get the shower to rinse off the blood. "Those need to be stitched" I told him
"I can handle it" he said and got the med kit. I suddenly winced when he start stitching himself. Is this person even a human? I observed him and saw some of his scars all over his body. What happened to those? Where did he get it?
When he finished stitching I got some ointment and gauzes. After which he put on jogger pants and I tucked him in bed.
I looked at the clock, its nearly 3 am. "I'm going now, if you need anything just call me" he nodded "thank you" he suddenly said. With that I leave the room.
I was awaken later that day, 10 am to be exact. I hop on the shower and brush my teeth. I put on shorts and sleeveless since its getting warmer here. Before heading down I checked on Lucas and he was still asleep.
I decided to head down and grab a coffee and asked Susan to bring his breakfast in his room.
As I put the breakfast in his bedside table he suddenly opened his eyes. "Hey sleepy head, need to eat now. You have to drink your medicine" I told him but he just turn to his other side.
"Lucas, I'm not kidding. You need to drink your medicine now!" I said shaking him a little
"Such a nagger" he said smiling a bit
"Whatever you say" I shot back. I helped him sit in his bed and bring his breakfast. "After you finish that drink this" I told him he just nodded like a little kid.
I like Lucas like this more than the cold one I told myself. Wait, what am I saying?
After I made sure he drink all his meds I brought the plates to the kitchen.
"How is he?" Susan asked
"As stubborn as before, but I can handle it" I answered Susan
"It's good to know that someone's taking care of him now" she said
"Didn't he have girlfriends to take care of him? I bet I saw some of them" I don't know what came to me to suddenly asked the question.
She smiled "they all have only one role for him, that's to satisfy him" I nodded with that
"So he brought girls here often?" I asked again
"He normally bring different girls everyday, but ever since you came it all changed" she said
"He brought a girl the other night" I said bowing my head.
"Are you falling for him?" She asked.
I lift my head "I don't know" I answered. "The both of you will figure it out soon" she said. I nodded and head back to my room.
I stayed in my room for hours just looking at at walls. I don't know what will happen the next days, months and years of my life. I don't exactly know what exactly is his business and how did my father knew him.
I kept thinking of those things until I doze off.
Lucas POV
During lunch I decided to head down. I saw Susan preparing some food. "Where is Amelia?" I asked her
"She head back to her room Mr. Hayes" she answered
"Did she had her lunch?" I asked
"Not yet Mr. Hayes" she answered
"Make sure she eats her meal on time" I said before heading out of the house.
I stayed at the beach just thinking of the possibilities. Our wedding is in 5 days and I'm not sure if I really want to drag her in my mess.
