Chapter 94 Chapter Ninety Four
Sydney’s POV
“Lucas,” I called in a shaky voice. “Why are you pointing a gun at me?” I know I should feel less terrified of the guns that were pointed at me because Lucas had showed up but it was quite the opposite. I felt even more terrified at the sight of him.
My eyes pricked with tears as I looked at the man before us. He was a total stranger, nothing about him seemed like the gentle demeanor of the man I fell for.
Lucas didn’t even register my presence or act like he had heard my question. He just turned to Luigi, his l*ps twisted unpleasantly in anger. He took a menacing step toward him and Luigi took hesitating steps back, preferring to have the gun pressed more firmly to his nape than be close to
Lucas.
“What her you doing?!” His clenched fists shook as he finally bit out harshly. He wasn’t facing me or talking to me but I flinched back in fright. I wondered how Luigi still managed to be in one piece there, he hadn’t even blinked at Lucas‘ shout. I guess he must be used to it. I, on the other hand, was just discovering this side of my boyfriend and the father of my child. Great. “Boss, I didn’t say anything.” Luigi blurted out respectfully as he shook his head. Luigi might not have showed any physical sign of fear but it was there in his eyes, n*ked and he didn’t even bother to hide it. Luigi could see it too and it seemed to empower him even more.
He glowered at Luigi, looking like he had grown bigger as he spat out, incredulously. “And you expect me to believe that?!
“I’m telling the truth. Luigi’s throat worked as he swallowed, “T’d never lie to you, you know that. She doesn’t know anything, boss. Let’s send her back immediately.”
If I wasn’t paralyzed by fear of thy own boyfriend, I would have seriously scolded Luigi. What the f**k was he saying? Why would he suggest that I should be sent back? What the hell? And what was there to know? What exactly were this people into that I mist not find out?
Lucas’s eyes only turned even colder as Luigi tried to explain everything to him.
“I don’t care what she knows, he said, stressing each word between gritted teeth. “She had dared to come here, didn’t she?‘ Lucas cocked his head to one side, “She should as well be prepared for the damn consequences.
I drew back, feeling like I had just been slapped across the face. Lucas was talking as if I wasn’t present there, referring to me as if he hadn’t just blatantly ignored my presence.
I pushed away all the hurt from his actions and frowned. What stupid consequences other than finding out about his streams of endless sluts? Oh God. I wished I could let these idiots put the goddamn guns away so that I could give this egoistic bastard, betrayer and abandoner a good piece of my mind.
He finally riveted his gaze to mine. My eyes quickly took in his face. He didn’t look like he had aged since he left. He looked the same; handsome, and fit. It was good that the months have been good to him so if I eventually get my hands on him and claw at his face, I would not regret it one bit.
Everything was the same but just as his demeanor had changed, so had the look in his eyes. It was no longer the soft and warm and kind like it used to be, his eyes were hard like steel, cold and filled with a murderous glint.
I realized, fleetingly, that I could never allow him to set those expressionless and malicious eyes on my child. Unless, he worked on it. He had to, whatever was fueling this stupid attitude of his would have to be stopped.
He raised his brows indifferently, “It’s time to settle this.”
He waved his hand in the air and more men stepped out of the shadows and started to manhandle Luigi and I. The gun was gone from my temple and ropes were brought out to…. tie me up?

“Lucas, what’s happening?”
He grinned like a nut case and answered, “You’re getting tied up.” Then the grin fell and he stood there and watched me get tied.
I was beyond shocked. Horrified would be an understatement even. How dare Lucas do this? Joe dare he treat me of abandoning me and never trying to reach out? But most
importantly wke this after y
Instinctively, I fought to be freed from their rough grasps but I was easily tamed as one of the men easily lifted me up while two others worked on my hands and feet.
My heart was ramming in my ch*st and I had no idea what to think of all of these. I wondered if I was dreaming.
I glanced over at Luigi and he seemed to be willingly allowing himself to get bundled up with his head hung down.
The fear was rapidly rising to my throat and my eyes prickled with tears. “Lucas, stop this now,” o cried, my voice quivering.
He said nothing, just watched on with an aloof expression on his face.
I cleared my throat and swallowed. Perhaps if I told him why I was here, he would come back to his senses.
“Lucas, look, listen, I came all the way here to find you because I needed to tell you that I…”
My explanation as to why I was in Italy and the news that we had a child suddenly became incoherent muffles as a cloth a hand clamped down on my m*uth then without warning, I was gagged. Then one of them threw me over his shoulder.
Despite it all, I still squirmed on their shoulders and tried to communicate with Lucas but they were all muffled words.
At some point, all of them, including Lucas, laughed at my attempt to speak.
Luigi and I were taken to a car that came to park beside us. I was tied to the backseat and a resigned Luigi was by my side.
I felt a little pang of guilt as I thought that I was steh reason why Luigi was also tied with me. I probably just made Lucas lose his trust in Luigi just because he met with me.
Lucas didn’t get in the car that we were taken to. As the car ride started, I tried to make some noise and attract some attention but Luigi just sighed beside me, when I looked at him, he had- his eyes on me.
There were a lot of undecipherable emotions in his eyes and I could tell that he had a lot to say but there was so little talking that a gagged person could do so he settled to nodding his head. “Don’t, was swhat I could read in his eyes when he shook his head.
I decided to relax. The car started and we spent the entire night on the road, bound and placed in uncomfortable positions. Even Aiden wouldn’t believe me if I said I was fine but I didn’t need to because no one asked me anything.
At some point during the ride, I remember falling asleep with a heavy heart. I had no idea what would be my fate and if I was ever going to be able to go back home to see my son. I had slept off thinking about it.
Finally, the car rolled to a stop. I looked outside and saw that we were in the middle of nowhere…. the middle of a bewilderness. The place looked like it was last used during the time of dinosaurs. As they pushed us, we walked wobbling into the forest. I knew I wasn’t walking. I was too weak that I was dragging my feet on the floor as we traipsed into the forest.
We were abandoned beside a big oak tree that stood in the middle of the forest.

I tiredly raised my head when I saw a foot clad in a shoe stopped before us. It was Lucas.
He waved his hand, an indication for his two men standing around to leave. Turn on some music, no eavesdropping,” he ordered menacingly, his eyes narrowing, or else…”
The two men scowled at Luigi and I before walking off into the direction we had been dragged
from.

Almost immediately, the sound of booming music thrummed through the forest.
I eyed Luigi as he stepped forward and undid the gag of both of our m*uths, she avoided my eyes when he removed mine. I was shocked when he brought out a gun and pointed it at Luigi.
Then he coldly ordered, “Now, you can tell her.”
“Tell me what?” I wondered aloud, looking from Luigi to Lucas but I got no response. “What… what are you talking about?” I stuttered as I tried to contain my confusion.
Luigi still had his head hung down, his gaze intently on his bonded hands.
His shoulders sagged as he sighed. “Sydney,” he started, “I… I’m really sorry. All of it was dupery,” he raised his gaze and bore it into me, his eyes filled with apology. “It was all a scam to seize GT Group.
Well, he already told me that but what other part was a scam?
Luigi continued, “The real Lucas has been dead for a long time. The current Lucas is Dylan. We planned it all and approached you in order to use you to deceive Mark and Doris so that we could get our hands on GT Group wealth. The plan failed so we had to leave.”
What the f**king fudging hell!
I could as well be listening to a documentary on someone else’s life because what nonsense was Luigi spewing out?
My gaze impatiently flew from Lucas to Luigi until I started to feel really dizzy from the action. “Is… is what you’re saying true?”
Lucas or was it Dylan, who looked so much like Dylan answered her questions contemptuously, “It is absolutely true, love.”
