My Emotionless Goddess

Lucia and Ezekiel’s story

Ezekiel was busy preparing supper while Lucia just sat on the couch watching her favourite band performing. After getting introduced to BTS by Ava, the band became her favourite. She would squeal Every Time she saw them performing something that of course brought bitterness to his mouth.

” Honey, come and see.. I hope is such an amazing dancer. Wow and those abs, jungkook is sure to become hotter everyday.” She yelled much to Ezekiel’s displeasure but what could he do other than stomach it. He couldn’t make his woman angry by displaying his jealousy. So he did what he always does. Ignore her.

The doorbell to the house rang but Lucia who was so engrossed in listening to Rm’s solo on boy with love ofcourse did not hear it. Switching off the stove, he cleaned his hands and walked to see who decided to visit with an apron on.

Without looking at the peephole he opened the door and behold, in front of him stood his parents . His father was wearing his signature poker face indicating that he was forced to be there while his mother wore a sweet smile on her face.

” Mom, dad, why are you here?” Ezekiel frantically tried to block the view to the house with his body.

” What do you mean by why are we here? Is it a crime to visit our son?” His mother’s expression changed drastically and now she wore a displeased look on her face.

Realising that he might have asked a wrong question, he awkwardly scratched his neck not knowing what to do. With his mother’s temper and character, he couldn’t allow the two women to meet.

” I mean why didn’t you tell me you will be coming? Besides, how did you know I’m here?” Ezekiel found himself asking only to regret it immediately the words left his mouth.

” So you admit to hiding from us huh?” His mother questioned angrily.

” Of Course not.” Ezekiel answered immediately, trying to salvage the already worsening situation.

” Ezekiel Greene!” His mother, Mrs Greene yelled, pulling his ears harshly.

While they were at it, a car came to a stop not far away from the door and two elders stepped down. A beautiful woman who seemed to be in her forties and a man who seemed to be at the same age walked to them.

” Honey, why are there people at our daughter’s door? Did we get the wrong address? ” The Lady asked, puzzled.

Ofcourse Gabriel recognized the two people who just arrived. He cursed me for being so unlucky tonight.

” Who are you?” Mrs Greene was the first to ask the Intruders. The two families were from two different cities. The Mendez family, Lucia’s parents, liked to remain low-key so it was obvious the Greene family wasn’t familiar with them.

” We are here to visit our daughter. My son said she lives here .” Mrs Mendez replied politely. She was a reserved and well mannered lady from a wealthy society.

” But this is my son’s house. You can also see that.” Mrs Greene replied politely. ” Kiel, tell them this is your house. Maybe the got the wrong house.” She added.

Kiel could only look down awkwardly when the four pairs of eyes turned to look at him waiting for an answer.

” Eeerr…”

” Honey, what took you so long? I’m hungry.” Lucia chose to speak at this moment as she walked to the door to see what was keeping Kiel so Long at the door. If it was just receiving a delivery, wasn’t he taking quite long?

Lucia peeked at the entrance and what she saw made her eyes widen before running away.

” Lucia!! Come back here!” Mrs Mendez was so angry that she forgot to remain calm and yelled. She didn’t need anyone to tell her that her daughter was living with another man while she was engaged to another. That was unacceptable.

Since the matter had been blown to proportion and couldn’t be hidden anymore, Ezekiel ushered the elders in. The reason his parents were still quiet was because they were fuming. He was sure to get scornful from them.

” Mom, Dad come on in.” He gestured to his parents.

“Mrs Mendez, Mr Mendez, please.”

After the six people settled, the room was filled with silence. Nobody said anything, only glares were being exchanged from each side. Ezekiel and Lucia who were seated together were looking down, not daring to look up at their parents’ faces. Lucia was afraid of seeing the disappointment in her mother’s eyes.

” Speak, explain the meaning of this!” Mr Greene finally broke the silence, demanding answers from his son.

” What’s there to explain father? You can see it for yourselves, I am living with Lucia now.”Ezekiel gained confidence and answered. He couldn’t let anyone wrong Lucia and to avoid that, he had to Man up before his parents and defend the woman he loved.

” What Kind of an answer is that? You are already engaged, how could you go behind your fiance’s back and live with another woman?” This time, his mother asked.

” She’s no other woman Mom, she’s the woman I love and the woman I’ll marry.” Ezekiel said confidently.

” Are you out of your mind? You knew that you already had someone to marry and still went ahead and befriended some random woman?” Mrs Greene yelled.

” Don’t talk about my daughter in that tone, I don’t appreciate it one bit.” Mrs Mendez said in a Cold and domineering voice. Even if she was disappointed by her daughter’s actions, she wouldn’t let anyone use uncouth words while describing her daughter. And from what she heard so far, this Ezekiel boy didn’t seem like a good man at all.

” Tell me sweetheart, did this boy Force you to be with him?” Mr Mendez softly asked his daughter. She was the apple of his eye and he loved her the most.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Lucia shook her head.

” Then why did you get together with him? Do you love him?” He asked yet again. If his daughter loved the boy wholeheartedly, he would give them his blessings. He was an open minded person and his daughter’s happiness mattered the most.

His question earned him a pinch from his wife. Despite the pain, he didn’t complain. He knew that his wife had chosen a fiance for their daughter. He wasn’t against her idea but he hoped his daughter would be privileged to choose the Man she wanted to spend her life with.

” What do you mean by being in love? That’s not an excuse for her to cling to an engaged Man.” Mrs Greene retorted. It’s not like she didn’t like Lucia, she did but she was afraid of letting down her best friend whom they had agreed to have their children married ages ago.

” Mom, I never agreed to marry the woman you chose for me. I never promised her anything nor do I know her. I love Lucia and I am the one clinging on to her, not the other way round. We are expecting a baby together and I can never leave my baby just to fulfil a promise Made in my absence. ” Ezekiel declared.
