Chapter 16: BETWEEN DISAPPOINTMENT AND LOVE
"I think she loves you. She told me she loves you. You should be the one marrying her, not me. You must love her too right?" said Ducan getting up from his seat looking at Lucken's face with full eyes.
"I've already told you that I don't love her why I made a pact with you. If you still can't love Alisha, I will continue your position as her husband." said Lucken returning Ducan's gaze.
"Looks like I can't fulfill the agreement anymore Luck. I won't let Alisha go for you." Ducan said with a serious face.
Lucken's eyebrows rose to look at Ducan with a surprised look.
"Why? did you love Alisha? have you forgotten Diana so quickly?" said Lucken curiously.
"More than that." Ducan said briefly then left Lucken.
Lucken looked at Ducan leaving with an understanding look.
"What exactly happened to Ducan? why have you changed your mind now?" asked Lucken with a frown, getting up from his place and returning to his room.
Still feeling jealous, Ducan entered his room and then walked over to a painting covered in white cloth.
It's been almost a year that Ducan hasn't come home other than spending time in rehabilitation and occasionally going out for painting events.
It wasn't until Lucken picked him up that Ducan was able to get out of rehab and return home.
As soon as he arrived home, there was nothing else for Ducan to do other than to see Alisha's painting that he painted at the Bali hotel.
With his mind still fixated on the image of Alisha's face, Ducan pulled the cloth cover of Alisha's painting. Looks Alisha is posing on the bed with a natural style but so seductive.
"I just remembered your name is Alisha. Your name is very beautiful as beautiful as your face. When I met you you were so innocent. Are you now the same Alisha? or already another Alisha who loves Lucken? I won't let you love Lucken, Alisha. You're only mine." Ducan said in a deep voice rubbing Alisha's painting face.
After staring at Alisha's painting for a long time, Ducan closed the painting again and put it back in its place.
Feeling tired and his head heavy, Ducan threw himself on the bed he hadn't slept in in a long time.
In his tired mind, Ducan closed his eyes recalling the time he made love to Alisha.
"Alisha... Alisha I miss you. I want you Alisha." Ducan said with a warm body and high desire.
Ducan began to torment with his passion that always flared every time he recalled the memories of making love with Alisha. It is not uncommon for Ducan to masturbate when he is unable to contain his desire.
"You have tortured me too long Alisha, after this I will not let you go. You are only mine not Lucken or any other man." said Ducan with half-closed eyes holding his stem in a crouched position imagining Alisha beside him.
"I love you Alisha, I love you." Ducan said with a long groan feeling pleasure when releasing his desire.

At Alisha's house...
"Drink this hot tea Alish." Terry said giving Alisha hot tea after putting Diana to sleep in her room.
Alisha took it without saying anything and gulped it down.
After warming herself enough, Alisha straightened her back and looked at Terry.
"How's Diana, Terry? is she sleeping again?" Alisha asked with a worried look when Diana woke up suddenly crying.
And Alisha did not understand at all why Diana was crying.
"Don't worry, Diana is always cold like that. Good thing Diana was wearing Lucken's jacket." Terry said accidentally mentioning Lucken's name, and it reminded her of what she did with Lucken.
"Terry, I want to ask you about Lucken." said Alisha when she felt strange with Lucken's attitude. And of course it happened because the one with her was not Lucken but Ducan.
Terry looked up when Alisha wanted to ask about Lucken. Terry's face was suddenly tense and her palms felt cold.
"What do you want to ask?" Terry asked in almost a choked voice.
"I just feel weird. When I drove Lucken home and he had Diana on his lap, I felt a connection between Lucken and Diana. Diana wasn't afraid at all. Did Diana often meet Lucken when I wasn't home?" asked Alisha with seriousness.
Terry raised her eyebrows feeling strange at Alisha's question.
"I don't know what you mean by that question, Alisha. But I can say for sure that Diana has never met Lucken." said Terry feeling worried about what Alisha had in mind about her and Lucken.
"And there is another thing that is very strange that I feel. So far Lucken has never paid attention to you, but ever since he found out about Diana, Lucken hasn't stopped asking about your life, he has even asked about Diana's father. Are you also close enough friends with Lucken?" asked Alisha with a complicated look, really not understanding why Lucken wanted to know Diana's father.
Terry pressed her temples feeling confused by Alisha's question, and confused by Alisha's story about Lucken.
"Why did Lucken ask Alisha about Diana's father? Didn't I tell you who Diana's father was and who Diana's mother really was? Why did Lucken make things so complicated?" Terry said in her heart not knowing what to answer with Alisha's question.
"Terry?? did you hear my question? what are you hiding from me?" Alisha asked with full eyes.
"Frankly I don't know what reason Lucken asked you like that Alisha? even you know yourself I never met Lucken unless you brought him here? And why don't you just ask Lucken, when he asks you?" Terry said hoping to end his conversation with Alisha so he could contact Lucken, why did Lucken ask Alisha about Diana.
"I've asked him and he even said I was jealous of you." Alisha said with an annoyed look on her face.
"Never mind Alisha, why don't you just think positive? Maybe Lucken thought he was going to be your husband, so he thought about Diana too. Doesn't Lucken know that we are brothers?" Terry assured Alisha that Lucken was acting naturally as a potential husband.
