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 lips 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, naked 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, "I'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 my own boyfriend, I would have seriously scolded Luigi. What the fuck was he saying? Why would he suggest that I should be sent back? What the hell? And what was ere 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, 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 like this after years of abandoning me and never trying to reach out? But most importantly why?
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 chest 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.
