Chapter 8

Lucy POV

I almost forgot what I need to buy for groceries because of the sudden presence of Kent. I tried to act cool in front of him but deep inside, I have torn apart, broken into pieces, helpless, and damaged. He's the one who made my life miserable. If he didn't hit in me, fooled and betrayed me, everything is perfect even he's not with me. Yes, I admit, I trusted him with my life and it's the biggest mistake made in my life. 

I saw him walking away with guilt in his eyes. He should feel how to lose loved ones since he took our child away from me. He has no idea that the contract made by his wife about adopting Austin was fake. He's a total asshole. 

I shook my head and take a deep breath to vanished all the memories I had with him five years ago. I was so crazy and blinded to everything by loving him back then. Call me bitch, fool, imbecile, and dumb but I was too young and in love back then. 

"Wake up, Lucy. You're now Greta and what matters for you right now is to take revenge!", I murmured as I made my way to the ice cream section. 

A sweet smile painted on my lips when I remember how I and my son accidentally met here. When I saw him crying and to make him stop, I bought him an ice cream. If I had known that he was Austin, maybe I gave my warm and tight hugs to him. I'm a mom and nothing can change that. 

I took three containers of cookies and cream and mango ice cream for Gale and me. Cookies and Cream were his favorite while mine was mango flavor. I went to the vegetable area after when someone tapped my shoulder. 

I looked back and saw Gale following me. 

" What are you doing here? If they saw me talking to you, they will rush to ask me." I said while pulling an aghast look at him. 

He giggled and help me pulling the cart. 

"I don't care. I just miss you. Don't worry, they won't recognize me. See, I wore the same outfit as you." He said and we both chuckle. 

Kent POV 

I know she's lying. She's Lucy and she wants me to forget about her that's why she disguises herself as Greta. I won't let her pushed me because I want to tell her how much I repent for my sin every single day. 

I decided to follow her because I walked back when she shouted at me. I thought she will report to the security guards inside the mall but she didn't. I keep tailing her and about to approach her again when I saw my brother Gale came closer. I feel a sting in my heart to see her smile like that to my brother. How can he find a girl like her in a short time? Where did he found Greta when he was busy at his restaurant in the states? They looked perfect together. If she was Lucy, maybe we look perfect too but she's now married at Gale and I am now a married man too. 

I took a sigh of dismay and walked outside the mall. I lost, he won. Maybe she's not Lucy, maybe the real Lucy is somewhere here. I will clarify everything to my wife Eloisa about what she did to Lucy after we went back to the states. 

I went inside my car and saw Gregory coming inside. I was surprised to see him here since he's not the type of person to go out and went to this kind of place. He loves eating at fancy places or eating delivery foods. 

"Hey, Gregory?", I called his name, and he immediately turned his head around and went closer to confirm if I am someone he knew. 

" Kent Stone? Is that you?", he covered his eyes to the rays of the sunlight facing at him. It's lunchtime already so it's hot in Manila unlike the cold weather in the states. 

I nodded. I slowly pulled down my shades to get a full view of his face. It's been five years but Gregory still looks the same and dresses the same. Nothing much changed about him. I wonder if I can get any information from him about Lucy since he was the one who knows her as my mistress in the first place. He seemed to care so much for her that time so maybe he made a way to approach her to be her friend. 

"Can we talk?", I said as I stepped out of my car. 

He looks surprised but managed to calm after one moment. 

He seems reluctant to talk to me. Was he hiding something or he knew something? Those were the questions playing inside my head while talking to my best friend Gregory. I had many questions for him to ask especially when he cut ties his friendship with me and I don't know why. 

" Umm, yeah, sure, why not!", he replied without staring at me. 

"Hop in!", I said and when he hopped inside the car, I began to start the engine and rolled the steering wheel. 

We will go to the place where we first met and became friends. 

At the school campus during our high school days. 

--

Gale left after helping Lucy buying groceries. He went back to the restaurant he owned. He also visited the company of his father Alexander which is the Ace Wine Group. He was in the lobby of the building when he saw Eloisa coming downstairs. A devilish smirk drew on his face. 

" Wow, what a small world sister-in-law? I didn't know you're super close with dad!", Gale said while clapping his hands. 

Eloisa glared at him and rushed towards him. 

Gale acted like he's scared of her and simply waited for her. 

"What are you thinking Gale? Of course, he's my father-in-law! Anyway, can we talk?", she's still a brat even years had passed.

Of course, Eloisa Sherlock, the heiress of the Sherlocks company can behave anything she wanted. She's famous and rich. Even Kent Oliver Stone can't say no to her dad's request. 

Gale went closer and lean his lips behind her ears. 

" Shall we go to our favorite place, mo kitchen, and living room!", he murmured but Eloisa pushed him away. 

"Are you crazy? What if my husband saw us? Come here!", she said while dragging him with her to the company's lobby. 

She let go of Gale after they reached the lobby. 

Gale smirks again and folds his legs from each other and crossed his arms in front of his chest like a boss. 

" Tell me what you want to know? Quick because I'm in a rush!", he told her. 

Eloisa pouted her lips again. She glared at him from head to toe. 

"So you had a wife and her name was Greta? Where did you get that girl? I can't believe that you will get married!", she seems can't believe it. 

Gale slightly narrowed his eyes on her for her funny questions. 

" Why, are you jealous? It's done for both of us so don't try to tease me anymore!", Gale said with his cold gaze and voice at her. 

Eloisa narrowed her eyes on him. She walked closer and crouch to whisper in his ears. 

"Why should I? I have Kent and Austin. Oh, she looks familiar. She's someone I know but she's dead now. I hope I'm not mistaken!", she said and moved her face from him.

She was about to go when Gale grab her arms and pulled her against him. 

Eloisa looks surprised and confused. 

" I don't know how to control myself but if you tell me to stop, I won't brag you anymore!", he said while started kissing her ears. 

The lobby was empty since everyone went back to their desks. 

Eloisa wanted to push him but when Gale trailed his lips down to her lips, she let her invades it. At first, his kiss was soft then started to get rough when she moves her lips and tongue inside Gale's mouth. It's a fast but desirable kiss. Gale stop and both of them gasp for air to catch their breathing. 

Eloisa was stunned. He slapped Gale after. His eyes widened at what she did. 

"You can't do that to any place like this!", she shouted at him and hastily walked away without looking back at Gale. 

With lipstick on his lips, Gale removes it and sets another smirk again. He just shook his head and head upstairs to meet his father. 

Lucy POV 

I called Gale that I plan to visit his brother's house. 

" Are you sure? You want me to come with you?", he said over the other line. 

"No, I'm good. No one will suspect me so don't worry about me, okay?", I replied to make him not worry about me. 

I heard Gale taking a deep breath. I think he's just didn't want to see me grieving again. 

" Okay. Be careful, okay. I love you!", he said but I didn't answer back. 

"Okay, bye." I simply said and turned off my phone. 

I used the car he gave me and head straight to visit my son Austin. Of course, I will play as his kind and lovable aunt since he was Eloisa and Kent's son even their time is about to end. I'll take my son at all cost even their life is at stake.

"I'm coming, son. Mom will take you out today!", I said while holding my steering wheel and focus on my driving.
