The One Night Destiny
Hard Questions

Happy reading!

Just at 7 pm Lucas just stepped into the lobby of Keraton at The Plaza Apartment located in the Menteng area, Central Jakarta. The man came to fulfill the invitation from Flora. More precisely so that Flora told him what she knew. Yes, the man came alone at Flora's request without taking Alden who was her assistant. Lucas looks very handsome with the expensive suit he wears.

Once he arrived in front of Flora's apartment unit his steps stopped instantly, he pressed the bell several times with his annoyed feelings. How not, if not for Flora's threat surely the man would not have come to fulfill his invitation.

Soon the door was opened by Flora who greeted her with a smile.

"Lucas, you look very handsome tonight" praised the woman, then pulled Lucas's hand into her apartment.

Lucas smiled briefly at the compliments on Flora's lips. Without saying anything, the woman took him straight to a special room that had been adorned for dinner with Lucas. Of course Lucas still remembers the threat from Flora. A threat that makes her have to be nice to the woman to keep her secret safe from Zoya.

"I've prepared this for both of us, I hope you like it" Flora said speaking right by Lucas' ear as she hugged the man's arm tightly.

"Of course I like. You can always understand my taste. Thanks for getting this all set up." Lucas stared fixedly at Flora's face standing beside him. Reviewing a smile that implies something. There is a compulsion from that smile. The real thing he refused to do.

"You should have realized that long ago and don't look for another woman for you to marry because I'm ready to be your wife."

With a slow motion, Lucas released his arm that was still being hugged by Flora, which was, then he stood right in front of the woman while cupping both sides of Flora's face that looked happy because Lucas was being nice to her tonight.

"I'm sorry if my decision left you hurt and disappointed, but you know for yourself that I was barren from that accident. The doctor had already sentenced me to never be able to have children, while my parents desperately wanted a grandson to be the successor of the Dekawistara family and I happened to know that Zoya was pregnant with my son. Do you remember the woman we met at the hospital?"

"So that woman is Zoya?" asked Flora who was only a glimpse of Zoya's face at that time because the woman was leaving once Lucas asked her.

"Yes right. She is Zoya and she is the only hope that can give me offspring. So there's no choice but to marry her." Lucas tried to explain while removing both his hands from Flora's face. She hopes that Flora will no longer be obsessed with marrying him.

"Flora, do you hear me?" asked Lucas when he saw that Flora was daydreaming silently without answering his words.

"Yes, I was thinking. What if it turns out that the child in Zoya's womb is not your son, but another boy?" Flora tried to instigate. Hoping for Lucas to be swayed by his question.

"Of course it's my son, Flo. I'm so sure because I was the first man to sleep with her and snatch her chastity that night."

"But it could be that after sleeping with you, he slept with another man?"

For a moment Lucas thought. This time it seems that Flora's words are really able to damage the man's confidence to start thinking about doing a DNA test to make sure the child in Zoya's womb is his child. However, Lucas covered up those doubts in front of Flora. He didn't want to deal with a woman who only made his life this complicated. Yes, the matchmaking with Flora really made Lucas have to deal with Zoya.

"How, Luc? Are you starting to doubt now?" flora asked back when she found Lucas was silent and did not answer her question.

"I'm sure he's my son because Zoya did admit it. I don't think a plain woman like her will ever lie."

"But do you love him?" asked Flora again with trembling lips.

Lucas fell silent, then momentarily turned his gaze when he heard the difficult question. He couldn't possibly say he didn't love Zoya because it would only give Flora more control over him. As much as possible today, Lucas must be able to convince Flora if her love is only for Zoya and stop all of Flora's obsession.

"If you knew I didn't love him, you'd be constantly approaching me" Lucas looked back at Flora's face before answering.
