2025-02-28 11:33:54Lucien stood alone in the room, the air around him drained of all life, leaving only an oppressive silence in the wake of the violent confrontation. Blood trickled steadily from his palm, yet his expression remained vacant and hollow, as if he felt no pain at all.
The door burst open, and Sandy stepped inside. The sight before her made her eyes widen in shock, and she clamped a hand over her mouth, a gasp escaping before she could stop it. "Lucien!"
Without a second thought, she turned and shouted toward the hallway, urgency thick in her voice. "Hurry! Get me some gauze!"
Moments later, the necessary supplies were rushed into the room.
Sandy dropped to her knees beside him, her hands trembling slightly as she carefully cleaned the blood from his palm. Though her movements were gentle, they carried a sense of urgency. She wrapped the gauze around his hand, layer after layer, securing it firmly.
Throughout the process, Lucien remained motionless, as

Her mind kept replaying everything that had happened with Lucien, the exhaustion weighing on her both physically and mentally, leaving her unable to move.She had no idea how long she lay there until a crisp knocking sound echoed from the door.Forcing herself to sit up, Cynthia dragged her weary body to open it.Standing outside was Erica, beaming with a bright smile, holding a large, heavy-looking shopping bag.The moment Erica stepped inside, her smile faltered. She immediately noticed something was off. With a concerned look, she asked, "What's wrong? You look terrible."Reaching out, she tried to feel Cynthia's forehead, checking if she was sick.Cynthia stepped aside to let her in, shaking her head slightly. She forced a weak s

Not long after, the receptionist walked up to Cynthia and said, "Miss, Mr. Brown is waiting for you. Please follow me.""Mr. Brown? I think you've made a mistake. I'm here to interview Mr. Paul Harris," Cynthia said, surprised.As she doubted whether she had mistaken the interviewee, the receptionist smiled gently. "Mr. Harris is busy today, so our CEO, Mr. Brown, will be conducting your interview instead. Please follow me."Hearing "Brown," Cynthia's heart skipped a beat, but then she told herself it was just a coincidence—things couldn't be that unlucky.Cynthia followed the receptionist to the CEO's office, knocked on the door, and a deep voice inside said, "Come in."The door opened, but there was no one in the room. She could vaguely see a figure moving on the balcony outside the office. After the receptionist informed him, she led Cynthia inside.The man sat with his back to her, slouched casually in a pearwood chair. From the silhouette, he appeared to have a good physique. His

Cynthia was instantly overcome with terror. She clutched Lucien's shirt tightly, her voice rising in a sharp scream."What are you doing?! NO! PUT ME DOWN! Lucien, DON'T!"Lucien's lips curved into a chilling smile. "Did you not say you'd rather die? I'll go with you. How about we jump together? I won't let you be alone."With a flick of his hand, Lucien sent Cynthia into a fresh wave of panic. Tears streamed down her face as she finally broke down and begged."No...I don't want to die, Lucien…"She whimpered, her voice fractured with fear.Lucien eventually set her down. Cynthia's legs gave out beneath her, and she collapsed into his arms, still trembling. Her fingers remained tightly clenched around his shirt, her body quivering uncontrollably.Lucien ran a hand through her soft hair, his voice as cold as ice."Listen. If you want to die, I'll die with you. If you want me dead alone, I'll take you with me. As long as you live, don't even think about escaping me. And even we die...I'

Turning back, Lucien shot Mandy a glare. "What the hell are you doing here?"Mandy eyed him up and down, her gaze landing on the bandages wrapped around his hand."Wow," she mused, "looks like things got intense. You even hurt yourself. Grandpa will definitely worry when he sees that. And you know he'll ask questions...What should I answer him?"Before she could finish, Lucien's hand shot out, wrapping around her throat. Mandy's face turned an alarming shade of green as his devilish features loomed dangerously close."And what if YOU DIE before you get the chance to answer him?" he whispered.A shiver ran down Mandy's spine. Lucien had always been ruthless—even to his own family.Just as she was about to pass out, he suddenly released her. She stumbled back, hitting the table and knocking over a glass, which shattered on the floor.Mandy gasped for air, too shaken to utter another word.Ignoring her entirely, Lucien picked up the folder Cynthia had left behind, flipping through the pa

Surprisingly, Mandy's provocation had calmed Cynthia down.She reminded herself of why she had returned. For that purpose alone, she wouldn't leave so easily.But the interview was certainly ruined.The day passed in a whirlwind of chaos. By the time she returned home, showered, and spoke with Harley on the phone, it was already nine in the evening.Sitting on the indoor balcony, she gazed at the city's twinkling lights. A glass of red wine rested in her hand, which she sipped occasionally.Memories of the past—and of him—surfaced with every sip, burning through her like liquid fire. She took another deep drink, but no amount of alcohol could soothe the wounds in her heart.*Ding-dong...*The sudden chime of the doorbell startled her.Cynthia froze. Who would come at this hour?She slipped off the balcony barefoot and walked to the door. Peering through the peephole, her heart clenched.It was the man who had told her to wait for him earlier.Lucien.Even from behind the door, his tow

Early the next morning, Gina rushed into the magazine office, practically grabbing Cynthia by the shoulders in excitement and she blurted out, "Tell me, you did not interviewed Paul Harris yesterday, didn't you?! Didn't you?!""What's the matter?" Cynthia asked absentmindedly.Her mind was elsewhere, contemplating whether she should actually take Lucien's suggestion seriously—get a gun or hire someone to take him out for good.A permanent solution."I heard you interviewed Lucien Brown! COME ON, that's the Lucien Brown! The number one name in business! My ultimate dream!" Gina groaned in regret. "If I had known it was him, I would never have missed such a golden opportunity! Ugh! I could just die from regret! Tell me, is he even more handsome and imposing in person than in photos?""Didn't notice." Cynthia shrugged off Gina's hands and focused back on her work. Gina looked at her as if she were an alien."Didn't notice? You mean to tell me you felt nothing for Lucien? Are you even a w

The press conference venue was already crowded with journalists and onlookers. Cynthia and Gina stood off to the side, waiting for the event to begin.From the moment they arrived, Gina had been uncharacteristically critical, mercilessly mocking the brand Jacqueline was endorsing.In her opinion, only a no-name company would choose someone like Jacqueline as their ambassador.And as for Jacqueline herself, Gina was convinced she had seduced Lucien purely to boost her fame.Mid-rant, Gina suddenly paused, narrowing her eyes at Cynthia with a thoughtful expression."Sweetie, I just thought of something...Lucien never gives interviews. So why did he agree to yours? What's your relationship with him? Wait—don't tell me he's fallen for your beauty?"Cynthia's heart skipped a beat.She forced herself to remain calm. "It was just a coincidence. Mr. Harris was busy, so they sent him instead. And don't worry, he's not my type. If anything, I think Martin is far more charming.""Martin? Please.

Lucien had barely taken a few steps into the courtyard with Cynthia in his arms when she spotted Jacqueline standing in the center.Tonight, Jacqueline looked stunning—completely different from her usual sweet and innocent image.She wore a tight-fitting mini dress that accentuated her alluring curves, exuding an irresistible charm with every move. She was sultry, radiant.Cynthia instinctively lowered her gaze to her own disheveled appearance, a faint sense of inferiority creeping into her heart.Jacqueline's face was adorned with an enchanting smile—until her eyes landed on Cynthia in Lucien's arms. In an instant, that smile vanished, replaced by an icy, penetrating stare.Cynthia had expected Jacqueline to throw a fit at the sight of Lucien returning home with a disheveled woman in his arms. She braced herself for an explosive confrontation.But to her surprise, nothing of the sort happened.Just as Lucien set Cynthia down and she barely found her balance, Jacqueline gracefully app

The highway stretched endlessly like a black silk ribbon, winding through the night.The chilly night wind cut against Cynthia's skin as she trudged along the desolate road, her lone figure engulfed by the vast emptiness. Tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably, only to be swept away by the relentless wind.Her heart was heavy with sorrow, her steps unsteady. She thought about calling Erica, but her hand froze mid-air, realizing she had nothing on her—not even a phone. She had stormed out of the car with nothing.Occasionally, the headlights of passing cars illuminated her frail figure, making her feel utterly exposed. Fear, helplessness, and despair crawled over her like a suffocating net.She hated Lucien for pushing her to this breaking point. But more than that, she loathed herself—how had she let her life become such a mess, so utterly humiliating?Exhaustion weighed on her, and for a fleeting moment, she thought—perhaps she should just give up.

Once again, Cynthia was forcibly shoved into the car by Lucien. Since then, she had remained eerily silent, exuding an oppressive aura of stillness.Her body trembled uncontrollably, lingering in the chilling fear of nearly being strangled to death by Lucien just moments ago. The terror he instilled in her had reached an entirely new level.At that moment, Lucien's phone suddenly rang.He answered the call, listening to the voice on the other end, and his expression grew even darker. His gaze flickered toward Cynthia, who remained motionless beside him. Then, in a deep voice, he said, "Tell her to wait. I'm coming now."As soon as the words left his lips, the car swerved sharply. The vehicle, which had been heading toward Cynthia's home, abruptly changed direction and sped toward another destination.Noticing the shift, Cynthia's eyes widened with fury. Her voice erupted in rage: "Stop the car!"Lucien shot her a sidelong glance, a smirk curling on his lips as he mocked, "I was beginn

Hearing those words, Cynthia felt nothing but disgust. This man was truly a scoundrel!Her voice was filled with fury and resentment as she demanded, "Are you trying to force yourself on me again?"Lucien didn't respond immediately. Instead, his lips brushed against her neck, tracing a slow, feather-light path across her skin—gentle yet scorching, leaving an undeniable heat in their wake.His voice came as a murmur against her ear, teasing yet laced with something deeper. "That night, if I remember correctly, it was me who had my clothes ripped off. You were the one who forced yourself on me."His shameless words sent a shiver down Cynthia's spine, her rage igniting into a blaze. She shoved him away with all her strength, glaring at him as she bit out, "And what about the next morning?"Lucien didn't seem the least bit offended. Instead, amusement flickered across his face as he chuckled softly.In an instant, he grabbed both her wrists, pinning her firmly in place. Then, without warn

In the blink of an eye, the car came to a steady stop in front of a luxury boutique.He brought her here... to buy clothes?Cynthia thought back on the night's events. Lucien had been acting completely out of character—not only helping her out of a tight spot but also leaving Sandy behind to take her away, as if he genuinely cared about her.What exactly was he planning?But now was not the time to dwell on it. Cynthia was drenched, looking utterly disheveled. Even if he suddenly decided to show mercy and let her go, she couldn't possibly go home in this state.So, she stopped resisting and stepped out of the car, still wrapped in Lucien's jacket, and headed straight into the women's clothing store. Lucien followed closely behind her in silence.As they stepped inside, an eager sales associate immediately greeted them. Cynthia browsed through the racks, ignoring everything else, while Lucien stood at a distance, waiting quietly. His tall, commanding presence naturally drew attention,
A One-Night Stand With Her Ex-Husband Do You Truly Feel Nothing For Him?
Cynthia's body stiffened as if frozen, turning around with great difficulty.The moment she saw the person behind her, the tension in her chest slightly eased, and she let out a slow breath—it was Sandy.She had been so anxious that she hadn't even registered that the voice was female.Sandy approached with a glass of red wine in hand, her steps light and effortless. Perhaps due to the alcohol, a faint blush colored her cheeks. "Cynthia, I have something to say to you," she said."Go ahead," Cynthia replied, her tone indifferent.Sandy tilted her head slightly, studying Cynthia as if scrutinizing an object.After a brief pause, she finally spoke, her voice carrying an almost imperceptible hint of accusation. "Just now, Lucien stepped in to help you, but you dismissed him as meddling. Don't you think that was a bit too much?"The words snapped Cynthia's drifting thoughts back into focus.She hadn't expected Sandy to confront her over this. After a brief moment of surprise, she responde

Cynthia felt as if she had been frozen in place. Her mind went completely blank, and for a moment, she found herself unable to react, let alone speak.Sandy, on the other hand, wore an exceptionally warm smile and said softly, "Cynthia, we've met twice before. Do you remember?"From the very first time she had seen Sandy, Cynthia knew this woman was different.As one of Lucien's women, Sandy was treated with a level of importance that far surpassed Jacqueline.Yet, what puzzled Cynthia the most was Sandy's attitude toward her—Lucien's infamous ex-wife. Sandy was always polite, her face ever adorned with that gentle, unshakable smile.Even now, with Lucien approaching her yet again, Sandy showed no signs of jealousy or displeasure. Instead, she had taken the initiative to greet her.This unexpected friendliness made Cynthia feel incredibly uneasy.She couldn't figure out what Sandy's true intentions were, but something deep inside told her that this kindness was nothing more than a fac

At that moment, a rotund man was tightly gripping Cynthia's hand, his face plastered with a greasy smile as he spoke to Jeffrey beside him."Jeffrey, I'm really curious where you found such a beautiful editor. Cynthia, if you're ever unhappy at F.E., you're welcome at my company anytime. I can even start a magazine just for you and make you the editor-in-chief."Cynthia frowned slightly, her heart filled with disgust.The man's grip showed no intention of loosening. His lecherous eyes shamelessly roamed over her, and his repulsive hand occasionally rubbed against the back of hers, even brushing her palm from time to time.Suppressing her discomfort, Cynthia maintained a polite smile while subtly attempting to free herself with a clever twist of her wrist. But the man clung to her like sticky taffy, tightening his grip instead.Just then, a strong, firm hand abruptly clamped down on the man's wrist.Lucien's voice rang out, laced with a hint of mockery."Ford, what do you think you're
A One-Night Stand With Her Ex-Husband New Storm
"Coincidence."Saying only that one word, Lucien stepped out of the car. Sandy followed closely behind, chuckling softly as she murmured, "WellA coincidence?I don't think so. You haven't gone to see her in days—I almost thought you had finally given up. I knew something was off when you agreed to attend this charity gala. This isn't your style at all. Turns out, YOU.COME.HERE.FOR.HER."As she spoke, she exited the car as well, naturally slipping her arm through Lucien's.She glanced up at him—the refined, jade-like features, the tall, impeccably built figure. Anyone would have to admit that he looked every bit the charming CEO who could make women swoon.Yet, who would have thought that a man like him would willingly become a lovesick fool for a single woman? Even she couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy at this moment. "When did you become so
