MICA'S POV
Well, it was a new week and the issue that had to do with sir Lucan was already out of our memories.I walked into the school canteen to meet Nini after the day's exam. We were both doing different majors so we hardly hung out in college. But as I walked towards her, I could feel something was wrong. She was not the usual cheerful Nini but in her stead was a girl whose eyes were swollen from crying." What happened, Nini?" I asked as I rushed to her. She saw me and she began to cry uncomfortably, I was already very frightened." Talk to me Nini, what is it?"." Mica…" she wanted to talk but the tears kept choking her, " Mica, your fa…ather".I stopped short, did she just say my father?." What happened, talk to me" I said, almost shouting." Your dad is in the hospital Mica" Nini dropped the bombshell. I almost pushed her away but she held onto me." What is the meaning of what you said?" I asked again, my eyes were already clouded with tears. Just then Jayden walked into the canteen, he was my classmate and we got along at times." Mica, the school director wants to see you in his office".My eyes darted from the crying Nini to Jayden who just delivered a message and in a minute, I found myself running towards the director's office. When I got there, Nini's mum was sitting in the office and she had a sad look on her face." What is wrong with everyone?" I asked myself." Mica" the director began slowly, " there is bad news?".I looked at Mrs Austin and I could see tears in her eyes." Why is no one saying anything?" I asked the school director and he sighed heavily." Mica, your dad is in the hospital, he met with an accident this morning after dropping you off at college".My head began to spin as he kept on talking, I didn't hear the next thing he said, I just heard my dad was in the hospital." Which hospital?" I asked Mrs Austin." Mica, you have to calm down. He was the one who asked us not to tell you until you are done with the exams" it was the school director who spoke up, I kept looking at her like she was a clown. All I wanted to know was the hospital my dad is in." We lost him Mica" Nini's mum said and my world stopped." Lost him?" I asked, looking at the two of them in disbelief. I was supposed to cry right and scream but why was I dried eyes?." The whole school sympathizes with you Mica"." As the director of the school, weren't you supposed to tell a student when something happens?" I screamed angrily, rather than crying. I was angry with myself for asking dad to drop me off at college this morning and now we lost him?."Calm down Mica please" Mrs Austin said as tears also rolled down her eyes. That was when I saw Nini standing by the door, she was also crying." Nini, we are supposed to be friends right and you kept something like this from me?" I asked as I walked up to her angrily, I was so mad at everyone for what they did to me. They knew my dad was my life and they kept it a secret from me." Your dad made me promise not to tell you until your exams are over," Nini's mum said." Who cares about the exams?" I screamed loudly and ran out of the office. I felt suffocated and defeated in the midst of these three people.I wanted to be far away from everything and go home to my dad to eat his tasty snacks.I must have been walking for a long time and I didn't realize where I was going. The only thing I kept hearing was the sound of car horns blaring loudly but I didn't realize I was in the middle of the busy road of Seattle.It was not until a hand pulled me away onto the sidewalk did I realize where I was." Are you blind? He asked, I didn't know who it was at first because my eyes were filled up with tears but as they rolled down my eyes, I could see the person clearly and it was Lucan." Sorry" I said to him and began to walk away again. I had no intention of staying and arguing with him, I needed to get home to eat my father's snacks." What is wrong with you?" He asked from behind me and I stopped again." Father died" that was the only answer I gave him and I began to walk away again, my heart was torn into two and my world already collapsed. It felt like I didn't belong to this world and everything reeked of sorrow and abomination." You think walking in the middle of the road will stop your pain? Aren't you supposed to be by his side right Now?" He asked again.This time I turned to look at him, " he can't even speak to me again sir, so why should I go and meet him?"." Look Miss, just come with me okay, I will take you to the hospital your dad is".I wanted to believe him and go with him, I wanted to see my dad again but I was scared, really scared. I was scared because I didn't know how to see my dad lying in the morgue, I was scared of having to attend his funeral. I had already lost my mother years ago and now I have also lost my dad, what was I living for anyways.I saw Lucan take slower strides to where I was standing and I could see concern in his eyes, I wanted to run and hug him, I wanted him to comfort me and tell me everything would be fine but just as he was three feets away from me, I began to feel dizzy maybe from crying to much and before I knew it, everything went pitch black.LUCAN'S POV.As I watched her lose consciousness and almost fall down, I quickly ran to hold her. She looked so fragile and weak, maybe from crying too much. I already knew what had happened because I can sense and read her thoughts, something that is new to me because as a hybrid I didn't have the ability to sense and read the thoughts of humans but this lady in my arms was different. As far as she was near me, I could easily sense that she was thinking." Should we take her to the hospital?" My driver asked as I placed her inside the car. " No, go home" I knew she didn't need a doctor right now, she was under emotional and psychological stress. She just needed to rest and she will be okay.My driver gave me a weird look before turning on the ignition, he knew I had never brought any lady to the house in all the years he has worked for me except for Meredith who came intervals and neither has any lady entered my car, not even Meredith." But Meredith ma'am is around" my driver sa
As soon as I walked out of Lucan's gate,I boarded a taxi and made my way to the hospital. Whether I liked it or not I had to go and see my dad's body. I can't keep running away from the fact that I lost dad forever.As we made our way to the hospital, what the lady at Lucan's house said came back in my mind, she said she belongs to Lucan and I should back off. It was kind of funny for me because I never had any kind of intention towards him, but that was by the way, right now my dad mattered.When I got to the hospital, I saw Nini and her mum sitting at the reception and they looked sad as I had left them. I walked up to them in a slow stride. I just wanted it all to be a lie." Where have you been Mica, you refused to pick up your phone?" Nini said in a concerned voice as she walked up to me." I am sorry Mrs Austin for the way I acted earlier, I was not thinking straight and I am sorry too Nini" I said in an apologetic voice." It's okay dear" she said as she patted my hair lightly.
LUCAN'S POV.As I watched the ambulance drive off, I knew I had made the right choice not to go after her again. That feeling didn't leave my heart but I am Lucan Lim,the man who girls always Chase and not the other way around. I will forget about her like she never existed, it was not a hard thing for me to do at all.When I got back to the house, Meredith was already gone and the house looked quiet again." Finally some peace" I said to myself and went upstairs. Passing by the huge mirror in my room I stopped short because I noticed something on my hair." Is that gray hair?" I asked myself as I moved closer to the mirror, I have never had gray hair before so where was this coming from?.Then In a moment, I could see More than one gray hair, it was becoming alarming for me. Immediately my door opened and I could feel a breeze flash past me, I knew that air and I knew who it was. It was Lai, my half brother. We were not the usual brothers who hated each other and wanted to take our
LUCAN'S POV.We both entered the house a few minutes after 2 am in the morning. Everyone in the house was up and doing because vampires have better vision at night so we considered the night our morning and the mornings when we rested.My mother and stepfather were seated on the sofa chatting when we entered, Lai didn't bother to greet them and just made his way to his room leaving me to talk to them. I haven't been in the house for years but nothing has really changed." So finally this insolent son of yours now knows he has a family" he asked my mom the moment I walked up to them." I don't actually want to be here, I will leave as soon as I am done with what I came for" I replied in a lazy tone, I really was not in the mood to argue with any of them right now." Do you treat me like this because I am not your real father?" He snapped." Here we go again" I muttered under my breath, " I love you and my mom so much okay"." Go and rest, the maid will bring some midnight snack for you
LUCAN'S POV.As I entered the grove with Lai, Anarita was nowhere to be found. The whole place was crystal clear and one could see his own reflection." Now where is this mad woman?" Lai whispered into my ears, he hated going out of his comfort zone and now the witch was not here." If you keep making noise Lai, you will not get that car" I threatened, my face was already getting wrinkled and it was annoying.He wanted to open his mouth and say something when we felt her presence and she appeared." I didn't know you hated me Lai," she said in a teasing tone." You kept us waiting, so obviously I will, '' he replied sheepishly." If you are done with your chit chat, can we go to the business of the day?" I asked her." Fine, I will need you in your full hybrid form,"Anarita replied.I looked at her in confusion, the last time I had turned was Many many many years ago when my clan was fighting with fifteen other clans and I let myself turn so I could help them, and now I have to turn a
MICA'S POVIt was a sunny Friday, I had just finished my part time job at a cafe I recently applied for after dad"s demise. I was getting ready to go home when my boss walked up to me, he was in his mid thirties and he looked rather young for his age. I couldn't lie, he was handsome." Are you getting ready to go, Mica?" he asked as he walked up to the counter." Yes sir" I replied, turning towards his direction." I am sorry I have to take more of your time today, a client has ordered a box of our favorite brownie,the ones you make, can you have it delivered please?"."Ugh" I sighed, " okay boss, text me the details" I added." Thanks Mica, I will add some extra bonus for you at the end of the month" he said and walked away happily.After a while, my phone beeped and my eyes opened in horror seeing the name of where I was supposed to deliver the brownie to…..Lucan Lim." Am I cursed?" I muttered to myself angrily, I tried looking for Lammy, my boss, but he was already gone." Well I
LUCAN'S POV.The moment she ran out of the office, I came back to my senses. How could I just kiss her like that when I knew she was obviously weary of me but her lips tasted Divine and I wanted to have a taste of it again but she already left and I knew she would be cursing me right now. I began to concentrate on her so I could know what she was thinking about me and truly as she made her way out of the reception, she hurled more insults at me than anyone else has ever done and she even Called me a pervert. Well I couldn't blame her, only a pervert who pulled the stunt I just pulled.Still in my reverie of thoughts, I didn't know when my door opened and Lai walked in. It was not until he prodded me did I know he was sitting opposite me." What are you thinking about, brother?" He asked, eyeing me conspicuously." Nothing, why are you here?" I asked, trying to deviate my mind from Mica but it was not happening, the more I tried the more she kept appearing in my head." It doesn't loo
MICA'S POV.It was already past nine in the evening when I decided to go home from Nini's. Her and her mother wanted me to stay the night but I had to go to work early so I declined the offer.My street was already deserted, just a few people walking here and there and that was when my scooter decided to break now." Oh no pinky, not now" I muttered under my breath, it was already late In the night and there was hardly anyone on the streets. My house was still a few minutes drive away, it was really frustrating.I was still in my train of thought when I noticed a flashy sports car stop in front of me. I was wondering who owned such a car in the neighborhood until he stepped out of it……Lucan Lim." Why are you following me?" I asked the moment he climbed down, I was already frustrated and this man was here to add to my frustration." What happened to your scooter?" He asked, buttoning up his suit, he looked really manly doing that I won't lie." It's none of your business" I snapped, "
