Chapter 21

Rose entered the car, where Lucas sat with his legs crossed. He had his phone on his hands, his eyes glued to it, he didn't acknowledge her presence as he just continued what he was doing on his phone. There was a stern frown on his face, she closed the door and sat with her hands on her leg, nervousness washing through her.

"Feel free" his words were short.

"I can't ... you're here" she said trying not to stutter. She tried pack her hair into a messy burn

"Leave it"

"Leave what?" She was clueless as to what he was taking about

"It's better down" there was still confusion in her eyes

"Your hair" dropping his phone

"Oh, Noo... I prefer it up" she packed it and faced the window to enjoy the view of the city when she felt her hair has been let down. She looked at Lucas with a frown on her face, she pouted her lips, looking cute. This made him let out a chuckle.

"Did..did you just chuckle" he immediately frowned at her words. She was amazed, 'he could chuckle'. The man she knows and knew for 3 years in her life, never chuckled. He didn't even crack a smile.

She turned back to the window, staring at the beautiful side of the city which she never saw, then a thought crossed her mind.

"Why did u change" she said while facing the window her eyes were fixed on his face through his reflection in the window. She got no response. "We used to have so much fun back then. What suddenly changed... sighs. U came back that evening with rage in your eyes, wanting to see my father. What really happened that day"

A tear slide down her eyes. She faces him, there with anger in her eyes.

"Why! Don't reman silent. Talk!!"

Lucas gripped her neck, squeezing the breath out of her

"Don't you dare.. " There was anger in his eyes "Your fucking dad is the cause" he pushed her against the door

"Coughs, ple...ase.."

He let go of her and spoke "You are going to pay for everything, everything single thing your fucking dad put me through."
