"What!?"
Diego was take aback by her words which he never expected he would hear from her. But for some reason he felt sad and rejected by her for using those words for him.
"I disgust you!? You were the one who came to me that night, remember?"
The man had been wearing a hat just like the guy who paid a visit Mrs Jones. Yes! It was Diego who had visited her and knew who had killed Mr Jones, but Diego had been unable to find that why would the great Lucas Petrakis kill a measly man/ No doubt he still hadn't known that he was the man whom Nathalie had been married to.
What will happen when the two men will meet? After all Diego had some influence too but he still was not a match for Lucas Petrakis, who had been holding the reins of more than one zone and possibly what one could imagine!
Nathalie snapped back at him with a yell as she clarified to him about the incident.
"You and I both are aware of it Diego, that none us had wanted that to happen. And I was NOT the one who called you there or even planned that sneakily lowly trap."
She emphasized the word while gritting her teeth. Meanwhile the driver sitting in the front might have felt himself in the middle of a heated argument where anyone of them could rip his head for asking the dumbest question, since no one told him where to go.
Thus, the poor thing kept his mouth shut and drove the car aimlessly so both could talk and sort out the stuff.
"After all what even have I gotten from you, huh? Possibly what could I have gotten from a man, who had been leeching off his wife for money."
Nathalie knew his weakness and she hot the right spot when the iron was hot already for her to give him an immense pain through her words.
The lady smirked at him while Diego grabbed her mouth and stared straight into her eyes.
"Shut up! Just shut up!"
His expressions grew darker after comprehending that Nathalie had known his secret, which no one else had known. Nathalie gulped upon witnessing him turning from a playful man to the one who might not hesitate rip her head without even thinking twice.
"You are hurting me, Diego."
She managed to speak to him, when Diego stepped back and shook his head. The man inhaled deeply making sure he was able to hold back his anger and would not end up hurting Nathalie, since it was not his intention.
"I... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."
He imminently apologized, which Nathalie had never expected from him. He was the man rumored to be the embodiment of cruelty and a role model to the womanizers.
Thus it was highly unexpected for her to hear such thing coming from him. Maybe the credit of his change also belong to his wife.
"What do you want from me?"
She shifted the conversation straight to the point where she did not want to think about that night again.
The lady touched her cheek and felt the sting which made her mad, but she endured it since Nathalie wanted to end the mess right away Diego turned his head an inhaled deeply before his tone grew serious and dark, Nathalie saw a strange kind of tinge in his eyes which she had never seen before.
"I want to meet him, Nathalie!"
Her eyes widened as she heard those words, and a fear crept in he heart making Nathalie feel cold.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Whereas on the other hand Lucas had been trying to find out her and had no clue where to start from. The man had been aimlessly driving when he heard the message tone and immediately rattled out to see.
"I'm home."
Lucas read the message which were her words, Nathalie informed him as soon as Diego dropped her home. The man hurriedly changed his route and went back home, and yelled as soon as he entered the Lancaster villa.
"Nathalie!"
Lucas repeatedly called out to her, no doubt he sounded mad but there had been a worrisome expression on his face.
"Nathalie, come out!"
Whereas grandpa Lancaster appeared in the scene and tried to ask Lucas, since he too had never seen him yelling at Nathalie like that.
"Is everything okay, son? Did she do anything wrong?"
He tugged at Lucas's shirt and asked him again, while they both waited for Nathalie to come in the scene.
"Yes, yes, grandpa. Everything is fine."
Lucas tapped on his hand and realized that he had made the old man worried for no reason, since he was not involved in the mess and might not even know that Nathalie had met Diego that day.
Nathalie appeared on the staircase and peeked down, when she called out to him.
"What happened? Who is yelling?"
When she saw Lucas standing downstairs and looking upwards he knew in that particular moment why she had had been in love with him.
'Lucas! Oh, Lucas!'
Her heart whispered to her as the lady ran down the staircase towards him, Nathalie could feel tears swelling up in her eyes upon seeing Lucas in front of her.
'I never knew you will be happiness and the happiest thing ever happened to me.'
She could feel all the emotions again after seeing Lucas, the sense of security which had lost during the time she had been in the car with had returned since only Lucas could give her that.
"Nathalie where have you been?"
Lucas placed his question as soon as she approached him, while the man was left speechless seeing her.
'Is she crying? But why? What the heck did you do to my wife, Diego!?'
Anger began to bubble up in him again as he saw tears in her eyes. Nathalie lunged at him and hugged the man, while Lucas wrapped his arms around her to comfort the lady as he patted her head.
"Everything is alright, love. You are with me now."
Whereas grandpa shook his head and rolled his eyes, as he walked back to his room by giving privacy to the duo to figure out their stuff.
