Filed to story: Bring It On My Mafia Life Novel (Rhea & Lukas)
Perhaps, if she had taken on a different career, they would have been together and dated as normal people do. Knowing this might be the last time she would be close to Akim like this, Winters never left his side while keeping an eye on the kids at the same time. They talked and he introduced her to some of the guests at the party.
He took her to the dance floor and they slowly danced, enjoying every minute that they could spend together until she felt her phone ring in her purse, and Winters got reminded of the reason why she was here today. She looked in the direction where she had left the kids and Diego and Chloe were missing.
Oh no.
“The kids are gone,”
Winters broke apart from the dance and stomped over to Ella and Elsa, “Where is Diego?!” She demanded.
But the silly snickers from the kids told her that she was not getting any answer from them anytime soon. Whatever that had planned, they were all in it together.
She turned to Akim, “Keep your eyes on them, I’ll go find the others.” Winters left to resume her search.
She lost Chloe, Lukas was going to kill her, that was the thought in Winters’s head as she searched around for them. There were too many people and a large ground to cover, leaving Winters nearly frustrated.
It wasn’t until Winters got to the children’s playground, that she finally saw them. It was the two of them, Diego and Chloe, and they were seated on the swing all alone.
Winters was about to call out their names when before her very eyes, she saw the kids kiss under the moonlight and her jaw nearly dropped to the ground.
“Oh boy,” Winters breathed shakily, still not believing what she was seeing. She should have known! But then, Chloe and Diego? Lukas was definitely going to flip.
Being in-laws with the Spencers and Sakuzi was not in his plans.
Get Out Of Here
“Be quiet and invisible,” was Lukas’s motto for the night as he intentionally got lost in the crowd; he couldn’t draw attention. It wasn’t hard to spot Reina and her daughter, Isabella, both of them were the center of attention and were receiving congratulations from the important guests that graced the occasion.
Her husband Niklaus was by her side and Lukas almost hid his face until he remembered that he was wearing a mask and to the outsiders, he was Nahid curator, the art curator.
“Nahid!”
Oh no.
Lukas almost jumped out of his skin when he heard that name, didn’t Winters say that he was Reina’s art curator? It didn’t hit Lukas that his services weren’t limited to Reina alone and there would be other of his clients in attendance of his clients. He should have avoided all of them, not Reina alone. It’s not like he had made a list or something!
Knowing that he couldn’t avoid this conversation without being suspicious, Lukas turned around with a charming smile, “Hello, beautiful Mrs.” Lukas decided to flatter her since he doesn’t know her name. Had he known, he would have asked Winters to filter the guest list and check the guest who knew Nahid.
“Nahid, is that you?” The woman squealed, coming closer to touch his arms, “Oh my God, did you get a steroid injection or something during your time away?” She inquired, feeling his arms.
Lukas didn’t know Nahid’s relationship with this woman, but he wasn’t comfortable with her touching him – at least she didn’t notice the fact he didn’t call her by her name. Thanks a lot, distracting arms.
“Yes, I decided to go for a lifestyle change,” Lukas laughed awkwardly while releasing her arm at the same time.
…..
“Now, if you don’t mind, I have a lot of things to do, my dear,” Lukas assumed that the real Nahid was polite with all of his clients. Nahid was a family man and probably didn’t fool around with his clients right? Lukas seriously hoped so.
Lukas barely made it five steps when in his haste to escape the woman, he bumped into another person and the drink nearly spilled on her dress. Thank God, it didn’t. He knew how sensitive women were to appearance.
“I’m so sorry,” He began to apologize to her.
“Were you blind or what?!” The woman retorted, glaring at him, “Can’t you see – Nahid?”
Oh no, kill him now.
“Is that you, Nahid?” The voluptuous woman gasped slightly when Lukas lifted his head to look at her with a nervous smile which turned out to be a lopsided grin that only made him hotter in her sight.
“Yes, it’s me, the one and only, Nahid,” Lukas announced, happily?
“God!” She exclaimed, looking at him so intensely that Lukas did not doubt that she had mentally undressed him.
Lukas recognized that look anytime and anywhere and perhaps in the past, the old him would have taken advantage of this opportunity to have all the fun he wanted, but he was no longer the same person. He has changed and he has Rhea now. No other woman could compare to her in his sight.
Moreover, Lukas was here to rescue his sister, not fuck around. However, one thing was for sure, Nahid does have extramarital affairs with his clients and if that were the case, it does sucks for Lukas.
No wonder all of his clients could recognize him and now Lukas couldn’t tell who he was supposed to be casual and polite to without being suspicious. He needed to find Chloe and get the hell out of here before all of this blew up in his face.
“I knew that you were delicious previously, but right now, you are just so tantalizing,” She licked her upper lips to emphasize her point.
Eww, Lukas almost gagged. And yep, Nahid definitely did this woman. He had to tread carefully here.
“I’m sorry Mrs…” He did not know her name.
“Felicity. Just felicity, ” She filled him in without hesitation, coming closer to touch his arm.
Lukas frowned at the gesture, what was with these women and his arms today? Thank God, he had not come with Rhea.
“I can’t believe that you forget me so soon,” She made effort to be seductive, but it did not affect Lukas at all.
“I’m sorry, Felicity, but I am a changed man and I have decided to concentrate on my family now,” Lukas didn’t even know why he was making efforts to save the man’s ruined dignity.
“Oh come on, I know you, Nahid and you don’t -“
“What’s going on here?” A man stepped between them making Lukas’s heart race. The situation was spiraling out of control.
“Hi, honey,” The woman felicity said, releasing Lukas’s arms and going to lean on her husband’s side.
And yep, she was married, great! Lukas didn’t know what to feel. The next time he was taking up someone’s identity, he would make sure to check their personal life as well.
“I was just talking about how Nahid changed so much,” She said to her husband and the man with a drink in his hand, glanced up at Lukas.
“This is Nahid?” He had a look of disbelief, “Wonders shall never end.”
Yes, wonders shall never end indeed. HE NEEDED TO GET OUT OF THIS CONVERSATION!
“How did you change so easily? The last time I checked, you were so lanky I thought the wind would carry you away whenever you moved,” He laughed and for some reason, something told Lukas that Nahid wasn’t exactly on good terms with this man. By chance, did the man know Nahid and his wife had an affair?
“Stop being sarcastic, Joe,” Felicity rolled her eyes toward heaven.
