NOVPUB"Shall we go then?" Lucian asked, looking at the three women who nodded immediately.
Aside from the fear of all the sudden things that had happened, they were also curious about Lucian's house and who might be living with him.
So the four of them walked out of the crime scene, and in Lucian's car, they soon drove off. Lara didn't have to worry about Monk anymore, neither did Ava about her parents or godfather and his family.
And Melina was also free from her family, although she still carried the guilt of the past. But the voluptuous aunt still wanted to be with Lucian, even if their age difference was a problem—though Lucian didn't seem to mind the age gap or their past relation.
'Lara is also quite old compared to him, so I don't think it will be a problem... Right? But I am in my forties, and he isn't even twenty yet.
Sigh, not to mention there are two other women who seem to be just as interested in him. Can I get him all for myself? Am I even good enough?' The more Melina thought about this, the more depressed she felt. Her chances of being with Lucian seemed thinner and thinner.
"And we are here at my modest house," Lucian spoke as the car stopped. All three of them instantly looked at the house, imagining living with Lucian there.
"Do you live alone?" Lara questioned. She too had her doubts like Melina.
"No, let's go. You should meet my small family," Lucian said. After parking the car, all of them got out and walked toward the door.
Melina got curious. She thought Lucian lived alone and couldn't think of any family member he might be living with.

A few seconds after the bell was pressed, the sounds of soft but hurried footsteps sounded from inside. Soon the door opened, and a cute little girl came into everyone's view.
Just after seeing Lucian, she jumped into his arms, wrapping her small hands around his neck, appearing very happy. n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
But her laughter paused as she noticed that there were other people standing beside her brother. She looked at all three of the beautiful women and then buried her face into Lucian's shoulder, closing her eyes.
"Come inside." Carrying Tess in his arms, Lucian gestured for them to enter behind him.
"Who do you think she is?" Ava whispered to Melina, who shrugged her shoulders and whispered back:
"How would I know?"
"But aren't you his aunt?" Lara asked. She was more confused as to why there was such a relationship between an aunt and nephew.
"I don't think that could be his daughter, could she?" Ava questioned, but their short conversation came to a halt. They sat on the sofa and waited for Lucian to speak.
"This is Tess, my sister, and that is Angelina. She takes care of me, Tess, and this house, and this is our small family. Anyway, welcome to the three of you.
Aunty, these three will be living with us. You already know Aunt Melina, this is Lara, my teacher, and this is Ava, my friend. Because of a situation, they will be living with us from now on." Lucian made the introductions.
The three women shared greetings with one another, and then Angelina went into the kitchen to bring some juice for everyone.
Melina and Lara had already packed their luggage and put it in a hotel room just as Lucian had instructed, but Ava would have to go to her house to bring it here.
All of them chatted for a while, then Lucian spoke:
"Tess, let's go for a ride. And Ava, you could grab your luggage."
"Okay," Ava answered, while Tess happily jumped into his arms. Melina and Lara decided to go together since the hotel wasn't too far from where they had put their luggage.
Soon, the three of them sat in the car. They went to Ava's house, and after she packed all her things, they left. Ava took one last glance at her house before leaving the place forever.
The whole trip only took a little over an hour. By the time Lucian returned home, Melina and Lara were already putting their clothes and other things in separate rooms.
"You all can adjust. I have to go out for a while for some work. If you need anything, Angelina aunty will help you," he said, and then left.
Just as Lucian left, the three women looked at each other. They all had something really important to discuss with one another.

"Zero, I plan to go to some chasm that's nearby. Can you check?" Lucian asked while driving away from home.
[Sure, I have already finished checking. If you wish to enter that 5th Phase Chasm, then you can do so tomorrow. And if you want to enter right now, then you can go into a 3rd Phase Chasm that's not too far away from here.]
"Alright, show me the way. After returning from the chasm, I have to go and meet someone very important," Lucian mumbled, as he ordered Echo.
"Echo, pull out information about my mother. You remember, right? Her name is Diana... Diana Brown." As he spoke, Lucian's expression turned stern.
(Yes, I have gathered all the important information about your ex-mother. As you already know, more than eighteen years ago she divorced her husband and so uses her family's last name. Anyway, after the separation, she built up a large empire of her own.
She earned billions and has become one of the richest people. Her company is famous worldwide as 'The Browns'. And she is still single. I have checked thoroughly, and over the years she hasn't even been in a relationship with any man.
Maybe it is her way of giving respect to your father even after their divorce. She is quite respected, ambitious, strict, and possesses many such tendencies. Anyway, you'll know once you meet her.)
Lucian listened to her and nodded. After finding that it wasn't another man for whom she divorced his father, he at least felt relieved that she wasn't just some cheap character whore who would spread her legs just for money.
Otherwise, there wouldn't even be any point in destroying her. But knowing that she had built all that up on her own, with so much effort, sacrificing so many things, she will feel even more pain when all of that is taken away.
"She will be there later today, right?" he questioned while making plans. Originally, he wanted to slowly make her suffer, but now the suffering will be the same—it will just come faster.
(Yes, I have checked her schedule and daily patterns. She will definitely be there unless something happens.)
"Good then. Zero, let's head into the chasm before that. Oh right, is that chasm under that same organization which I have clashed against a few times in the past? What was its name again—Charity or something?" Lucian spoke, not even trying to remember the name, since with his current strength no one could pose a threat to him.
With his strength at the 7th phase of evolution, not even all the awakened on Original Earth would be able to do anything.
