A continued loud banging on the front door made her awake from her deep slumber. She sleepily glared at the digital clock on the top of her side table. It showed that it is only two in the morning, so she really wondered who will gonna knock at this too early in the morning.

She hurriedly went down in the stairs and slowly opened it while peeking on the slightly open door. And to her surprised she saw her most unwanted and the most hateful person in her seven hurtful years.

"Good Morning Mr. Montero. What an honor to meet you at this too early in the morning. What makes you bring here?" she amusingly asked him.

"Rick my suitcase, please bring them inside." he ordered his driver who's just steadily stood at his back.

"Right away Sir." Rick immediately grabbed the two big black suitcase and brought them inside. And he also gave her sling bag that she had left at the beach house.

"Thank you Rick. But what is this all about Lucas?" she asked while looming over the two big suitcase.

"You can go home now Rick. Please come back here before ten in the morning." he smiled and tapped his driver's right shoulder.

"Copy Sir!" he salute his boss and smiled at her. "Goodbye Miss Sandoval." he bowed his head and hurriedly left them.

"Where is your room? I am too tired and sleepy." he just grabbed his two suitcase and walked toward the stairs.

"What are you doing? Please leave instantly!" she yelled at him while she followed him toward her room.

"Stop yelling you might wake up our daughter." he continued walking on the stairs until he reached​ the first pink room. "This must be your room." he opened the door and looked​ around while he put his suitcases beside the bed.

"What are you doing here?" she glared at him furiously while crossed her two arms in her chest.

"From now on I'm going to live here." he calmly informed​ her.

"Are you out of your mind? And what made you think that I am going to allowed you to live in my house?" she annoyingly looked back to him.

"My daughter is here so I am going to live here too. If not, you will need to make a choice. Are we going to live here together or we're going to live in my suite in New York." he wickedly smiled to her while he removed his shirt.

"Oh my God! Will you please act with decency?" she blushed so she immediately turned​ her back from him. "Put back your shirt instantly." she ordered.

"What about this decency? You already seen all of me." he laughed and continue to teased her. "Okey you can turn your back on me now. I'm already decent." he said while waiting for her reaction.

"Pervert! Oh my God! You doesn't change even for the past years." she yelled angrily then grabbed the nearby pillow and hit him forcefully.

"Hey! hey! wait! I'm just only making fun of you." he grabbed the pillow from her grasp, and hugged her tightly.

"Stay away from me." he ​ forcefully pushed him and she walked​ toward the settee.

"I miss you so much. I'm going to get insane if I can't see you today." he confessed while he grabbed his one suitcase and put it on the bed.

He proudly showed his nude body while still glaring at her with his teasing smile.

"You tell me that you are just missed me. So you knocked at my door in this too early in the morning? Wow! How so inconsiderate you are!" she sighed deeply and sat on the corner part of the settee.

"I called several times but no one answered​ your phone. I got paranoid, that might something happen to both of you. I'm still not yet over with Quien past accident." he sadly said while wearing his white shirt and black boxer shorts.

"I'm sorry if we made you worry. We attended Quien rehearsal in school so we got home a little bit late. But did you even wonder that we might done some things important?" she stood and picked his dirty clothes and put it on the laundry basket beside the dresser. "Don't tell me that I need to report to you in all what we do." she blankly looked at him.

"It would be great if you do that. It will ease my worries." he laid on the bed and closed​ his eyes.

"Don't worry about us. We pretty live well without you for the past seven years." she said while she grabbed​ a pillow and put it on his head.

"Thank you Sweetheart. Come sleep with me." he grabbed​ and charmingly smile at her.

"No! I'm not going to sleep with you. I'll stay with Quien. Sleep now and leave tomorrow. Return to your parents home." the she walked out her room.

"Nope, never ever I'll leave you again." he whispered​ and closed his eyes.

A bright sunlight that comes from the open window and a sweet voice awaken Lucas from his deep sleep.

He dream of they happily living together. But, his dream seems too surreal because he can still heared his daughter sweet voice.

"Daddy wake up." she kissed his cheek and shook his shoulder." Daddy you need to wake up. Harry Potter is already waiting for you." she continued woke him up.

"Harry Potter? What about Harry Potter?" he asked​.

Trying to bring back his senses. As he opened his eyes he saw his daughter worried face.

"Daddy! Mommy said Harry Potter is already fighting the bad guys while you're still sleeping. Hurry up Daddy, you need to eat your breakfast before you leave." his daughter grabbed​ his hand and they hurriedly went to the kitchen while Athena is preparing their breakfast.

"Good Morning Sweetheart." Lucas greeted​ her.

"Good Morning." she greeted​ back at him.

"Mom! hurry up! Daddy need to eat breakfast before he leave to fight back the bad guys." she pushed​ his father to sat and grabbed a plate for him.

"Princess settle down. You and Daddy need to eat breakfast okey?" she talked​ to her daughter sweetly.

"Okey Mommy." Quien sat comfortably beside his father. "You know Daddy when I grow up I'm going to be like you and Uncle Leendon. Your both my super heroes. You Daddy fight back to all bad guys while Uncle Leendon help others to cure their sickness. You know Daddy, Uncle Leendon not only taking care of teeth but he also help to cure sickness especially to the children like me. That's why we sign up for a Daddy and Daughter competition. Uncle Leendon said it's a benefit competition. The proceeds will help the sick children. Promise Daddy we're going to win in this competition." she kept on blabbering excitedly.

"A father and a daughter competition?" he asked​ her daughter while he silently asking her on what this competition all about.

"They signed​ up in that competition before your reappearance. So don't look grumpy to this small matter." she whispered to him while she put a bread and eggs on his plate.

"How I can't be grumpy? She is my daughter and I am her father." he whispered back to her.

"Don't you think you're overly late to talk about this matter? Remember, you're been missing in action for over seven year in my daughter's precious life. So now, just show to your daughter how to be a good father. Hurry up! Harry Potter is already waiting for you." she whispered and playfully smiled at him.

They stop from bickering when suddenly someone knocking at the door.

"It must be Rick." he stood on his seat and walked to open the door.

He widely opened the door. He froze when he face to face his avid rival

"What are you doing here" they asked at the same time.

"I'm going to pick Princess for her early morning class." Leendon voluntarily answered​ their same question.

"I am going to live here from now on." he proudly said.

"What?" Leendon asked doubtfully.

"Don't believe him Leend." she answered. "Don't worry I'm going to throw him out as soon as Quien leaves." she said while she looked to both of them.

Giving them silent warning to never make an funny stunt in front of her daughter.

"Oh! Okey beautiful." Leend kissed her forehead and went inside the house. "Hey! Princess! Where's my beautiful Princess?" he cheerfully called Quien while Lucas thrown a furious looked at her.

"Next time don't let that Dentist kiss you in front of me." he seriously said.

"Don't make it a big deal Lucas. He always done that." she said while enjoying Lucas contorted reaction.

"Even way before, when we're still together?" he asked harshly.

"Even before." she smiled to him.

"I'm going to kill him." he said fiercely and went inside the house.

"Lucas stop!" she followed him then suddenly they stopped​ when they saw Leendon emerged from the stairs. He  carried Quien to his right arm while carried the pink bag to his left shoulder.

"Hey beautiful, we need to go now. Our Princess were going to be late if we don't be in hurry." he kissed her forehead again and smiled to Lucas. "Princess say bye to your Mom and to your new found Dad." he winked to her.

"Bye Mommy! Bye Daddy!" she waved goodbye and throw them a flying kiss.

"Bye Sweetie." Lucas smiled to his daughter while throwing an unpleasant gazed​ to Leendon.

"Bye Princess, take care both of you." she waved back to them.

"Oh! Beautiful, don't forget to bring Quien's medicine." Leendon reminded​ her before he walked towards his car.

"I will! By the way let's have a lunch together." she smiled to Leendon.

"Okey, I' m going to pick you at twelve." he smiled back to her and waved them goodbye.

"I can't believe it! How can you act like that while in front of me?" he asked  with his control rage while he closed the front door.

"Oh! Please don't make a fuss like such a crying baby with that simple act." she said while walking toward the kitchen.

"Simple act? It's that a simple act to you?" he grabbed her and pushed her toward the nearby couch.

He kiss her passionately and trapped her into the couch.

"Lucas stop."he struggled from his grasped.

"Don't fight Sweetheart. I know you miss me too as much as I miss you." he continued showering his kisses to her.

"Lucas please stop." she pleaded while slowly lowering her defenses.

From there she knew that she can't never beat the spell he casted on her.

"I miss you so much Sweetheart. There's no days that I won't dreaming of you." he whispered he carried her to her bedroom.

After a hour Lucas smiled widely while he looked at her.

He already congratulating himself for defeating her strong defense.

If he couldn't succeed in his first attempt. He made it a point that this time he would succeed.

He positively make sure in about nine months another Montero will come out in this wonderful world.

He gazed again to the woman who brought back his happiness.

He were so proud of himself to his so smart perfect plan.
