THIRD PERSON’S pov.
Lucas suddenly stepped on the brakes, which made him and Fatima jerked forward as the car came to an abrupt stop.
He looked ahead of them, but squinted his eyes as bright headlights shone directly in his eyes, and blinded his vision.
He faced Fatima whose eyes were also squinted, but her hand was already reaching for her gun and she was ready to jump out of the car at any second.
“Hey” he called her softly, and she faced him with a frown. “Don’t come out, just stay in here, let me and the guys take care of them” he told her.
She raised her left eyebrow at him.
“What is that supposed to mean? Are you underestimating me?” she asked.
His eyes widened slightly, and he quickly shook his head.
“No, not at all”
“Then why are telling me to stay in the car?” she asked.
Lucas stared at her for a brief moment, then he sighed and reached for the gvn in her hand, and gently collected it from her.
“You’re hurt” he said.
She looked down at her shoulder that was bandaged, and her mind flashed back to what happened in Asher’s house three days ago, and how she had sustained the injury.
“I just wanna protect you”
“I don’t need your protection, I’m a highly trained warrior and I can protect myself perfectly fine” she told him.
Fatima turned away from him, and made an attempt to jump out of the car, but he caught her hand, pulled her back and shut her door.
“I know you’re a warrior, but you’re also a woman and shouldn’t take it upon yourself to fght at every given opportunity”
“What are…”
He placed a finger on her lips, which shushed him, and she looked seriously in his eyes.
“I don’t know if you’re not getting all the signs I’ve been showing you, but I…” he trailed off.
She tilted her head slightly, raising one of her eyebrows and urging him to finish his words.
“You what?”
He shut his eyes and shook his head.
“I.. I’m…”
“Hey, Duncan Baldwin!” he heard someone shouted from outside. “Come out and stop being a coward!”
Lucas looked towards the cars that stopped a few steps away from them, the headlights were already turned off and fully armed men kept jumping out of the cars, with a man standing challengingly in front of one of the cars, one could tell he’s their leader and also the one who just called out Duncan Baldwin.
It’s clear that they’re here with only one purpose, and that was to shed bI.ood.
“And you think you won’t be needing my help?” Fatima asked nodding at the men.
Lucas simply smiled at her, and shook his head in rejection of her offer to join in the fight.
“I don’t need your help, Fatty” he said. “They are nothing compared to g.angs I’ve f®ught with, just stay in here and I’ll be back soon” he smiled at her once more, before jumping out of the car.
Fatima made an attempt to jump out too, but unfortunately for her, she couldn’t open her door which made her frown in confusion, then she gave Lucas a questioning look.
“Child lock” he mouthed at her.
Her eyes narrowed in anger as she h it the dashboard.
“Dmn these child locks!” she gr®wled underneath her breath.
“Give me five minutes, and I’ll be back” he said, the walked towards the men.

“You are not Duncan Baldwin” One of the men stated after accessing Lucas for a while -he’s their leader, and he was also the one who had called out Duncan Baldwin earlier.
“And you should thank your fuçking lucky star that you ain’t standing before him, because your head wouldn’t be sitting on your neck by now” Lucas said.
The man laughed loudly, as though Lucas had just said the funniest joke ever, then he put his hands in his pockets and leaned against a car.
“Get Duncan Baldwin here, he’s the one I wanna fght with today” he said.
“What’s your name?” Lucas asked him.
“My name?”
“Yes, what’s your name?” Lucas asked again.
He rolled his eyeballs, and lifted himself off the car.
“Boy” he called.
Lucas clenched his jaw when the man referred to him as a boy, balled his fist and glared mvrderously at him.
“You’re way too small for me, get Duncan here or get out of my sight before I order my men to kll you!”
“I’m afraid, you’re the one getting klled today!” Lucas gritted out angrily.
He reached for his gvn, aimed it at the man and sh®t his (the man’s) right arm.
“I don’t miss my target” Lucas said with a smirk.
“Don’t just watch him, attack!!” the man gr®wled, and his men rushed forward with their gvns that were ready to f!re.
Lucas’ men also rushed forward with their gvns, and soon bvllets began flying everywhere.
Ag®nizing howls and groans filled the air as bvllets were p!ercing through skins, and bodies were dropping from both g.angs -they were either d.ead, or severely injured but that didn’t stop the f!ght.

RACHEL’S pov.
Baldwin’s Mansion, LA
“… and Fatima going to be ok?” I heard nanny Pamela’s voice asking, just then I felt as though I’m floating.
“Yes, nanny” Duncan replied.
“We shouldn’t have left them behind, they should’ve come with us and let other people take care of the ambush” nanny Pamela grumbled.
Ambush? What ambush is she talking about? And why did Duncan leave Fatima and Lucas behind?
“Nanny, don’t worry about them, they’re both great f!ghters” Duncan said.
My eyes snapped open at his words, and I realized I was floating because Duncan’s carrying me in his arms.
“What’s going on? Where are we?” I asked.
Duncan looked down at me with a smile, but it’s obvious he’s been frowning, and he only smiled when he looked down at me.
“We just arrived home, my heartbeat” he answered.
My eyes scanned around for a moment, and I took note of the familiar furnitures, that’s when I realized we’re currently in our mansion in LA.
I smiled in contentment, but suddenly frowned when I remembered Fatima and Lucas.
“Then what’s going on? Where’s Fatima and Lucas? Why is nanny talking about an ambush? Are they ok?” I asked with worry and concern laced in my words.
Duncan nodded.
“They’re gonna be fine, they’ll be back soon”
“They’re gonna be fine?” he nodded, but I shook my head in disagreement. “You must have forgotten, but Asher shot Fatima and she’s still recovering, how can you leave her behind to f!ght? Are you trying to get her klled?”
“My heartbeat, calm down… ”
“We’re talking about my best friend’s life, how do you expect me to calm down?”
He laughed lightly at my reaction.
“Fatima isn’t a fragile girl, she’s a highly trained undercover bodyguard, and most importantly, I personally trained her” he raised his left brow. “Do you think I’d train a weakling?”
I struggled a little bit and wiggled out of his arms, and stood on my feet.
“Yeah, Fatima isn’t a weakling, but she’s still injured and should be resting not fighting more battles!”
With that I headed towards a sofa, but he seemed to misunderstood me and caught my hand.
“Where are you going?” he asked, he thought I was gonna rush out to go look for Fatima.
“I’m gonna wait right here, until she gets back in one piece” with that I snatched my hand from him, and rushed towards a nearby sofa.
Nanny Pamela who’s been quiet since I woke up, cleared her throat and approached me.
“Rachel, Fatima’s gonna be fine with Lucas around her” she said.
With Lucas around her? What is he now? God?
“I wanna stay here and wait for her” I threw a harsh glare at Duncan’s way. “Who know if Lucas is like his master? Who knows if he’s gonna sell my friend off to the enemy?” I gritted out.
Nanny Pamela’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, she looked between Duncan and I, then nodded as if she’s just understood something.
“This is obviously a lover’s f!ght” she said. “I should go get some sleep, both of you can handle yourselves” with that she headed towards her room.
Duncan waited until nanny Pamela’s out of sight, before walking towards me and sat on the sofa next to mine.
“My heartbeat, let’s go to our room so you can freshen up and catch more sleep, doctor Luke said you should rest mo…”
“Shut up” I ¢ut him off. “I’m not leaving here until Fatima gets back, safe and sound!” I said with finality in my voice.
He raised his hands in surrender, and nodded in agreement.
“Fine, fine” he sighed. “I’ll keep quiet and wait with you”
I wrapped my arms around my big stomach, huffed and turned away from him, which made him chuckle but I ignored him.
