Chapter: Chapter 119_ Briella"You put yourself at risk," Ace said, frowning at Kate. "That man could have hurt you if I hadn't reached you in time."One moment, he had seen her walking toward the building and had taken his eyes off her as he parked the car, and when he got out of the car, she had disappeared from his sight.He had raised an eyebrow as he wondered whether she had entered the building, and just when he was about to confirm his thought, he heard voices coming from across where he stood.Ace lost it when he recognized Kate's voice, and he rushed to the scene, reaching there in time to stop the man from striking her.Kate's voice softened when she heard the concern in his voice. "Thank you."Then she turned to the girl beside her. "Are you okay?" she asked, her eyes scanning her body.The girl's body trembled as she managed a nod."Who was that man?" Ace asked, looking suspiciously at the girl. "And why were you with him at this hour of the night?""Ace," Kate warned."What?" Ace asked with raised bro

Chapter: Chapter 118_ Redhead GirlLucas stiffened as Kate's sentence replayed again and again in his head. 'If I stay, I’ll eventually hate you. I feel suffocated being near you, Lucas.'His hold loosened around her, and Kate used that as an opening to leave his arms. She stood there for a moment as they stared at each other, their hearts hurting for one another.Then, Kate turned around and ran away from the garage, letting her feet lead her far away from the villa while Lucas stood there like a lost man, watching her disappear from his line of sight.She had promised never to leave him, Lucas thought sadly, as a lone tear finally slipped from his eye.Ace removed his gaze from Kate's direction and looked back at Lucas's face. Seeing how broken he looked, he felt like his heart was hurting, too.'Fuck,' he cursed silently, not knowing if he should stay behind and comfort Lucas with his presence or go after Kate. He was torn between his loyalty to Lucas and his duty toward Kate, and he didn't like the feeling one bit.

Chapter: Chapter 117_ You Hurt Me“It was you?” Kate whispered.Lucas exhaled as he watched her, his eyes mirroring her pain.His mind suddenly replayed the conversation he had with her when she had told him about her parents' accident. She had blamed herself for it, thinking she had been responsible for their deaths.But no.It wasn't her fault.It was his.He was responsible for that accident.He had been the one who had run them over with his car.He could remember telling her that he was going to find the person behind the accident and get justice for her.Lucas's stomach dropped at the thought because now that he was faced with the truth, he realized he had been the villain in her story all along.How would he punish himself? Turn himself in?'You could stay away from her,' a voice said in his head, and Lucas shook his head immediately.No!He didn't think he could do that.Letting her go would kill him. He was going to accept any punishment from her except staying out of her life.Reaching that conclusion, Lucas

Chapter: Chapter 116_ The TruthLucas’s expression filled with worry the moment he noticed Kate’s reaction, and almost immediately, his chest tightened once again.He stepped closer and placed his hands gently on her shoulders, turning her to face him. “What’s the matter, Kitty? You look pale,” he asked softly.Kate slowly raised her trembling hand and pointed at the car. “That car…” she whispered. “Why is it in your garage? Who owns it?”Lucas glanced at the car before looking back at her. What was happening? Wasn’t it a new car that his uncle had just gotten for her? Why was she talking as if she recognized the car from somewhere?Confusion clouded his face as he looked at her. “Honey,” he called gently. “The car is for you. Uncle Julian got it as a gift. That’s the surprise he was talking about.”Kate’s lips curved bitterly. Yes, she was surprised, but not for the reason Lucas thought. Judging by the confusion on his face, she knew he had no idea what that car meant.She shouldn’t be asking Lucas about the car.

Chapter: Chapter 115_ UneasyThe moment Kate and Lucas walked through the door, Ace immediately rushed toward them. He stopped a beat before them and pulled Kate into his arms.“Thank God you're awake! I'm glad you're okay. I missed you,” he said, hugging her tight.Kate smiled. She hugged Ace back and tapped his back twice. "Thank you, Ace. Thank you for being by my side and not leaving me alone,” she said, referring to the night Lucas had gone berserk. Ace had been the one who stayed with her and comforted her.Lucas scowled at them. “Get your hands off my wife before I break them for you,” he snarled, moving to pull Ace’s arms away from Kate.Kate giggled at his actions while Ace scowled back at Lucas.Lucas ignored him and stood in the middle, creating distance between them.Ace rolled his eyes and shifted away from the couple. "Where have you been? Uncle Julian has been looking everywhere for you. We even went to the hospital together to see Kate, but we were told she was already discharged. Where did both o

Chapter: Chapter 114_ Twisted Ways“What do you mean she’s no longer in the hospital? Who allowed her to leave?! Where is she now?” Julian barked at the receptionist, slamming his palm on the counter.He had reached the hospital a moment ago with Erick and Ace, who had insisted on accompanying them because he wanted to see Kate, too. When they arrived at the hospital, they went straight to Kate’s room but were surprised to find it empty.Julian had immediately left to find the receptionist to inquire about Kate’s whereabouts, only to be told that she had been discharged. He had been so eager to see Kate to reveal the truth to her, and now? He couldn't find her.The receptionist frowned. Why was he yelling at her? How was she supposed to know where Kate was taken? Her job was to check patients in and out, not to track them down like some private investigator. Despite her inner thoughts, the receptionist knew she couldn't afford to offend someone like Julian.Thus, she swallowed her bitterness and looked up at Julian. “H
