Few hours later
Tristin found himself in a luxurious room with a young man standing there in blue sport jacket and matching pants . His hair was thick, curly and a bit messy adding mischievousness and youthfulness to his already handsome face. The smirk on his face made Tristin roll his eyes and say
" Oh heavens Lucas, don't tell me you called only to have some drinks "
Lucas smirked mischievously and said
" But if I remember it clearly, I don't think I called you here for work. The only thing I said was wanna hung out "
Tristin was clearly mad. Lucas had two different personalities he couldn't comprehend no matter how hard he thought. In his bad personality "wanna hung out " means a traitor or an outsider is caught and he needed him to escort him to interrogate him. But on his good side, " wanna hung out " simply means fun and fun and fun. You never know which one he means unless you come.
Tristin sighed and sat down. Lucas pulled some bottle of wines towards him and said
" Try this "
Tristin shook his head and observed his surroundings before saying
" What is the meaning of all these "
Lucas took a sip of wine and said
" I'm trying to be me just me. Lucas Calvetti "
Tristin raised his eyebrows and added
" The playboy you mean. And where are your numerous girlfriend. It seems pretty odd that you are having fun without them "
Lucas stared at his wine lazily and said
" About that, I've dumped them "
Tristin almost chocked on the water he was drinking. He asked in disbelief
" Excuse me. You what? "
Lucas only answered nonchalantly
" You heard that right "
Tristin couldn't believe it. Lucas loved that title, playboy. He loved toying with women's heart. He loved flirting around and breaking heart but interestingly he would literally feed anyone who joked with her sister to his dogs. Tristin opened his mouth several times but nothing came out. He remember how he had constantly advised Lucas to drop this behavior but he fell on deaf ears.... In the end, the only words he could utter was
" How.... why "
Lucas answered with a smiling face
" I met someone "
Tristin asked in confusion
" Who "
But Lucas ignored him and added excitedly
" And men, I'm in fucking love "
Tristin stared at him blankly for some few seconds like he had suddenly grown two heads. Then he begun laughing uncontrollably
" Oh hahaha. ....I can't believe this. You, no you in love hahaha, I am a living testimony. Lucas Calvetti, like ' The infamous Don ' is in love. I must have done a billions good feeds in my past life to witness this. Oh hahaha "
As he wasn't the one being talked about, Lucas continued
" And damn can you believe it, it was love at first sight "
Tristin had no idea how he laughed so uncontrollable again even after his first laughter but he found himself laughing again. Tears even cascaded from his eyes.
" Oh Lucas, promise me you are not saying this just in an attempt to finish me off because if that is what you are doing, then damn, it is working. As if love itself wasnt enough, it was love at first sight. I have to personally meet this miraculous lady."
Lucas added unbothered
" Yes you will definitely meet her one day when I have win her heart "
This time, Tristan couldn't laugh anymore. He felt any form of laughter at this momment could trigger his premature death. He calmed down and asked Lucas curiously.
" She doesn't like you "
Lucas shook his head and Tristin was stunned. He added
" Does your sister knows about this girl? "
" Not yet I plan to tell her when the time is right "
Tristan sighed , not knowing what to say again , he was very speechless. He remembered something and said to Lucas
" Well, I wish Eric was alive to witness this. He would have been so thrilled to know that you all people is in love"
As the emotion of Eric's name, Lucas finally dropped his playfull expression on instincts and his expression turned unreadable as he said
" Yes he would have "
The lively atmosphere between them suddenly changed and Tristin asked in a serious tone
" Have you find out who the murderer is "
Lucas could barely contain the anger in his tone as he answered with gritted teeth's
" Trisha "
Tristan asked a shock
" You mean the rumoured disfigured assassin "
Lucas nodded and Tristin continued
" Then this surely have something to do with The blue moon organization. What did she want from Eric, because so far blue moon organization wouldn't go on a mission without a reason "
" They wanted the drive but hell with thier reasons, all I know is they killed Eric. "
Lucas said furiously. Tristin nodded in agreement and added
" Did they get the drive "
This time, Lucas's hard expression turned unreadable as he added with a light smirk
" They did but they didn't get all the information they want. It would take time, maybe a month before they realize that they only have half of the information they needed. "
Tristin only sighed and asked in concern
" So how is Chloe. How is she taking it "
Lucas's eyes soften as he said
" She is trying to be strong but I know she is deeply hurt and maybe... broken."
Then he added in controlled anger
" That alone is enough to kill that bitch "
He didn't know why but anytime he heard Trisha's name, he looses his rationality and the only thing he could think of was revenge for his friend and brokenhearted sister
Tristin nodded
" You are right "
The room became silent at once. Eerie silence. What was supposed to be fun, turned into a sour momment. Tristin couldn't help but miss Eric.
They were 3 buddies and usually hung out together. Eric was the oldest among the three but there was no doubt on the most powerful. Lucas.
A decade ago, when his mother got divorced, she took him to his father. At that time, Tristin was heartbroken at the thought of being away from his little sis. He knew how cruel Layla and her daughter was and how Mr. Evans stayed indifferent to whatever they did to Ruby or thier mother or even him. As for him, it was quite understandable because Mr Evans had made it clear to everyone and constantly told him in the face that, he was not his flesh. It pained though, he had done many things to please this man but all he got in return was rejection. He got used to it. Before he left the house, he and his mother had promised to come for Ruby.
When he met his father, only God knows how excited he was. He was even surprised to know that his own father was very wealthy. It was like he had hit a jackpot, his father treated him well but then his only request was for them to distance themselves from the Evans', which included Ruby. He had opposed that idea but her mother did the opposite, she agreed in that instant and dropped all charges on Ruby's custody.
He tried everything but they wouldn't allow him, in the end he had to secretly talk to Ethan and ask him about Ruby's wellbeing. Later he was shocked to know that his biological father was a mafia boss. He finally realized that his reunion eith his father wasn't about love, it was all about getting an heir to continue running the business.
He had vehemently opposed but again he was forced. He begun to see hod father in a new way and God's his mother, he never knew she was a gold digger like that. Entering the manual world led him to Lucas and Eric. Lucas's dad was friends with his dad and naturally they became friends. At that time, Lucas was new to this world just like him and they hit it off. They formed friendship with Eric and were very close.
Eric's death was a blow to him and he would also very much want the killer to pay.
