Chapter: Chapter 66_ You're my Light Lucas wanted to ask questions about Matteo, to know how they had met and how close they had been, but he shoved the thought aside. This wasn't the right time for that. At this moment, Kate needed him, not his jealousy.He reached out, taking her hands in his. “Kitty,” he called softly, his voice steady but thick with emotion. “I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that—losing your parents and carrying all that guilt inside you for so long.”Lucas gave her hands a soft squeeze as he continued, “I’m glad you had Bob beside you, and that…” He paused, his jaw tightening as he finally said the name, “and Matteo. But you don't need them anymore! I'm here now, and I’ll be with you until my last breath.”Kate's breath hitched at Lucas's words, and she parted her lips slightly as if to speak, but no words came out. Lucas leaned closer to her, then bumped his forehead softly against hers. “I will do whatever it takes to find the owner of that car; the one who took your parents away from you

Chapter: Chapter 65_ Guilt Kate sat on the bed, her knees pulled up to her chest, arms wrapped around them. Her head was bowed, her face half-hidden behind her knees, and a soft, broken sob slipped from her lips. Her entire body trembled, as though the memories she’d just shared with Lucas were too heavy for her to bear.Lucas, who was seated a small distance from her, watched her, his heart twisting painfully at the sight. The way her body trembled, the way her fingers gripped her knees like she was holding herself together—it broke him. He wanted to reach out his hands, to pull Kate back into his arms, but he hesitated.His chest tightened with regret. He had asked her about her past, but now he regretted ever asking her that. He wasn't sure if he deserved to know about her past if it caused her so much pain. He dragged a long breath out, his voice spilling out her name softly, “Kate…” It was all he could manage to say.Then he watched as she shifted slightly on the bed. “When I woke up… I found myself in the

Chapter: Chapter 64_ Hide and Seek “Kitty," Lucas called out, breaking the comfortable silence between them, and Kate hummed against his chest. “Why don’t you tell me more about yourself? I want to know what you like and the things you don’t. I want to know every single detail about you; from your childhood days to your teenage years, and how you grew up so beautifully to be my feisty woman.”Kate chuckled at Lucas’s last words. Seriously? she thought, shaking her head. “Why are you suddenly curious about this?” Kate asked him instead of giving him an answer.Lucas shrugged. "I want to know you more, Kate. I'm curious about your past and the life you led before we crossed paths,” he answered, and Kate nodded.If Lucas had asked her this about herself before he confessed his feelings to her or before she started developing feelings for him, she’d have scoffed at him or rolled her eyes at his words. But she knew better now. Lucas was interested in her past because he was now in love with her.He probably wanted to know h

Chapter: Chapter 63_ Porridge Soup“Is the sun rising from the west today?” Ace said as he entered the kitchen and saw Lucas wearing an apron, mixing something in a bowl while the chef stood by, giving him instructions. Ace raised his eyebrows. “What are you doing?" he asked curiously.Lucas was not the type to set foot in the kitchen. Ace had never seen him enter the kitchen since his parents' demise. He hated going near this place, so Ace couldn't understand why he was there or what he was trying to do.“Good morning, Sir Ace. Master is learning how to make porridge soup," the chef said, and Ace nodded in understanding.Then his eyes widened in realization, and he snapped his head toward Lucas. "What?” he exclaimed. "You want to learn how to cook, but why?” Ace asked, his tone filled with disbelief."Why? Am I not allowed to learn?” Lucas said without removing his eyes from what he was doing. His shirt sleeves were rolled up as he diced the vegetables and onions effortlessly.Ace’s mouth hung open. He couldn't help

Chapter: Chapter 62_ Do you like me one bit? “What did you say?” Kate asked, wanting Lucas to elaborate further. ‘What does he mean that he wants her to move into his room? Was he breaking his own rules?’“I want you to move into my room," Lucas repeated. Kate's eyes swirled with warmth, yet confusion. She couldn't read the man before her; he was as unreadable as ever.“Why?" she asked in a soft tone.“What, why?" Lucas asked back, and Kate sighed, deciding to let her thoughts out.“Why are you doing this? Now that we're married, I know you have your father's inheritance with you, and no one would be able to stop you or stand in your way. If you keep being this way with me, I’m afraid I won't be able to stop myself from falling in love with you and breaking your rules.”Lucas looked at Kate for a moment. Then he leaned down and kissed her. He pulled back just barely so that his breath touched her lips with each word. "I made the rules so I can break them whenever I want to. You’ve opened my heart in a way I thought no one could,

Chapter: Chapter 61_ A Temptress The next morning, Lucas woke up with the light of the sun caressing the curtains with its golden rays. His emerald eyes peeled open, and the first thing that greeted his sight was the beautiful face of his wife.‘His wife,’ Lucas repeated in his head, liking the sound of it. She slept peacefully, facing him, and their legs were draped across each other's.Lucas's eyes gleamed with affection as he watched her sleeping form. He felt a blissful feeling welling up in his chest. Suddenly, he had the urge to sleep next to her every day and wake up beside her the next morning. He wanted to have days like this with her every single day of his life.After leaving Ace behind in the study room last night, Lucas entered his room, and seeing Kate lying peacefully on his bed made him want to join her and sleep next to her while holding her in his arms. And that was exactly what he did.It didn’t take him long to fall asleep when the warmth of her body melted with his and lured him to sleep. ‘Was he
