Will You Marry Me?

Cynthia's face was pressed hard against the wall, causing a sharp pain.

"I spent a lot of energy satisfying you last night. And you're just leaving like this? Not even a thanks?" Lucien's magnetic voice whispered in her ear.

He was utterly shameless! To put it bluntly, he had committed a crime! And now, he was asking her to thank him?!

"I have nothing to say to you. Let me go!" Cynthia felt stripped of all her dignity in front of him.

She tried to push him away, but he grabbed her wrists, forcing her hands over her head. The barely hanging clothes slipped off her body, and she was once again pressed against the cold wall.

Shame surged through her, overwhelming her thoughts.

"Nothing to say to me? Have you forgotten? We used to be husband and wife." Lucien's arms tightened around her waist, his body pressing dangerously close to hers. His lips brushed against her translucent earlobe, "I'm the one who knows best how slutty you are."

His thumb ran over her lips, speaking slowly, "Your skills are still poor, but your passion last night was unforgettable."

"Stop touching me! I'll call the police!" Cynthia couldn't move, her body shuddering under his breath.

"Wow! Call the police? And What will you say? That I raped you? Don't forget, last night you begged me to FUCK you." Lucien's voice turned cold and mocking. "Do you want to know how much you resembled a dog in fucking heat last night?"

Bang—

Cynthia was lifted off the ground and violently thrown onto the bed.

When his muscular body pressed against hers, a terror unlike anything she had felt before gripped her. Even when she had betrayed him, she had never been this afraid.

Lucien kissed her fiercely, as if trying to consume her. The scenes of last night's wild passion fragmented in her mind, and she felt disgusted with herself.

"No, please, let me go!" She trembled, pleading with the man tormenting her.

"No? Did you say no when you were in bed with that asshole?" His words pierced her heart like a venomous snake.

Lucien watched her, curled up beneath him like a helpless animal, his rage building.

He squeezed her chin, his gaze lingering on her tear-streaked face. Her vulnerability only seemed to ignite his primal desire, "What's this expression? Feel humiliated for sleeping with me? Where's the bastard? Did you turn into a whore because he couldn't satisfy you?"

Cynthia's eyes twisted in pain, her anguish written all over her face. Lucien saw it, and the grip on her tightened, making her wince in agony.

He twisted her head and kissed her lips again, as if he intended to devour her whole.

Only after what seemed like an eternity did Lucien pull away. He placed a bank card on the pillow and leaned in close to her ear.

"That's your payment for last night. The password is your birthday. And don't worry, I'll order you again."

Cynthia remained numb, her expression blank as though she were a dead pool of water, untouched by emotion.

After Lucien left, she remained in bed, letting the layers of pain overwhelm her. Tears streamed down her face.

The moment she decided to back here, she knew she couldn't escape him.

She had foolishly hoped time would erase everything, but when she faced Lucien, she realized his revenge wasn't a joke.

Six years had passed, but he had no intention of letting her go...

***

The sound of rushing water filled the bathroom as Cynthia tilted her head back, allowing the warm water to wash over her face.

When she turned off the showerhead, she squatted down slowly, silent tears falling once again. The surrounding silence felt suffocating.

Outside, her phone blared loudly. But inside the bathroom, she was lost in the painful memories.

When she emerged wrapped in a towel, her face was still pale. Her hair dripped with water, falling onto her fair skin and making her complexion appear even more luminous.

The phone's ringtone persisted, and Cynthia finally glanced at it. It was Roy calling.

She suddenly remembered her appointment with Roy.

Quickly dressing in her coat to cover any traces left behind, she hurried out to meet him.

***

"Cynthia!"

A voice called out, and Roy appeared in front of her. He had a striking appearance, exuding the aura of an artistic young man. His long hair added to his beauty, and from behind, people might mistake him for a woman.

Cynthia forced a smile, her dimpled cheeks showing, which only made Roy more nervous.

His hands shoved deep into his jeans pockets as he nervously mentioned that he had made a reservation.

They sat down at the restaurant, but Cynthia, troubled by everything on her mind, didn't say much.

Roy, on the other hand, seemed incredibly anxious, unable to focus on his food. He kept glancing at her, and each time he did, his face flushed.

"Is Frank still bothering you?" Cynthia asked, breaking the silence.

Roy hesitated for a moment before shaking his head.

"Cynthia, I told you, don't worry about me. I have friends in the police, and they won't dare do anything. Has he been harassing you?"

"No, and he won't anymore," Cynthia replied, with words that Roy didn't fully understand. "I'm the one who dragged you into this. I'm sorry."

Thanks to her unexpected encounter with Lucien last night, Frank wouldn't be a problem anymore.

Roy looked at her, his face growing even redder. He stammered, "Cynthia, I... I have something to say..."

He paused, the soft, flowing music in the background seeming to heighten the tension. Roy pulled out a small ring box, opened it, and gently pushed it towards her, "Cynthia, will you marry me?"

Before she could respond, the door to the restaurant opened, and a voice called out, "Welcome!"

Cynthia looked up, only to see the one person she least wanted to see—Lucien.

He was with a woman with golden curly hair, her body impossibly curvy. Her legs, wrapped in a pink mini skirt, exuded a fiery allure.

Lucien's gaze landed on Cynthia almost immediately, his eyes calmly resting on the ring and Roy, before he turned to his companion, "Sandy, let's sit over there."

Sandy smiled and nodded, following him deeper into the restaurant.

Cynthia was shaken by the sight of Lucien. Her mind was a whirlwind of emotions.

Roy, however, was still looking at her, his gaze full of longing as he tightly held her hand. His voice was firm, "Cynthia, marry me. I'll love you for the rest of my life."

    On the other side.Cynthia's hands trembled slightly as she held the phone to her ear, listening to the steady dial tone. Yet, her gaze never left Roy. Biting her lower lip, her face was filled with guilt and remorse as she whispered, "Gina, can you come over? Something happened, and I need your help."After hanging up, she took a deep breath and slowly walked toward Roy, each step feeling as though she were carrying a crushing weight."I'm sorry..." Cynthia's voice wavered with emotion.If not for her, Roy wouldn't have been humiliated like this, wouldn't have been beaten so badly. She knew all too well who had orchestrated this—Lucien, the man she both feared and despised.But Roy didn't know. At that moment, his face was twisted in fury, his eyes burning with rage as if ready to set the entire world on fire.

    Lucien's face contorted with a storm of emotions, dark and unreadable.It had only been six years, yet she had already learned to threaten him with a knife.Cynthia tilted her head up, locking eyes with Lucien. Time had passed swiftly, but he seemed untouched by it—unchanged in every way.The same striking face she knew so well, the same abyssal gaze. The way he looked at her now was exactly how he had watched her last—filled with an overwhelming hatred, as if he wanted to tear her apart.Six years ago, there might have been a shred of mercy left in him. But now, the tide of time had washed away every trace of warmth between them, leaving behind nothing but pure, seething hatred. There was no kindness left in his gaze, only cold, merciless fury.Perhaps it was the dim lighting of the room, or perhaps it was the sight of his loathing expression, but Cynthia's eyes stung. Her grip on the knife trembled slightly, and the sharp blade nicked Lucien's neck. A bead of crimson welled up, star

    Lucien 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

    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.

    Cynthia gently closed Georgia's bedroom door and took a few steps forward. As she lifted her gaze, she caught sight of a flickering glow near the balcony, the faint arcs of light piercing through the darkness. She hesitated for a moment, then, almost instinctively, moved toward the glow. When she got closer, she realized who it was—Lucien.Without thinking, she blurted out, "You haven't left?"Lucien turned his head slowly at the sound of her voice, his expression calm as he met her gaze. "Where else should I go?" he asked in return.His words caught Cynthia off guard, as if something lodged in her throat, rendering her momentarily speechless. Indeed, given the tangled mess of their relationship, it wasn't exactly surprising that he was still here.Just then, a faint but distinct creaking sound came from the balcony railing.A warning flashed through her mind—the landlord's reminder: The railing is old and unstable. Don't lean on it, or you might fall.Before she could even think, her

    Cynthia slowly regained consciousness, only to find that Lucien was already gone. As she moved slightly, a wave of soreness spread through her body, as if she had endured some kind of harsh punishment. Yet, she couldn't deny that Lucien's skills in bed were nothing short of extraordinary—just as they had always been.After taking a shower and changing into fresh clothes, Cynthia stepped out of the bathroom, only to realize that night had already fallen. The room was shrouded in darkness. She reached for the switch, and with a soft click, light illuminated the space. As her gaze landed on the glass tank, her footsteps faltered.The turtle had been placed back inside. It lay motionless at the bottom of the tank, quiet and still.Cynthia slowly approached, her eyes locked onto the small creature. Lucien's words echoed in her mind: You're just like this turtle.As much as she hated to admit it, there was some truth to his cruel remark.Her marriage to Lucien was like that glass tank—an en

    Lucien strode over to Cynthia, pulled her into his arms, and firmly clasped her waist. Towering over the disheveled Edric on the ground, his eyes glinted with disdain. "If you want to speak to my wife, you'll have to get my permission first."Cynthia instinctively tried to push him away. "Lucien!" she called softly.At the sound of her voice, Lucien turned his head slightly and glanced at her. That one look sent a sharp jolt through Cynthia's heart. In his eyes, she saw overwhelming possessiveness, fierce protectiveness, and a trace of barely contained rage.Edric scrambled to his feet, looking utterly pathetic. His suit and face were smeared with dirt, and his bloodshot eyes locked onto Lucien and Cynthia with seething anger. His clenched fists trembled slightly, but he dared not make another move.Lucien glanced at him with contempt before lowering his gaze to Cynthia.

    After the call ended, Cynthia sat frozen in her seat, her mind blank. Several seconds passed before she slowly came to her senses and took a deep breath — a breath that seemed to drain all the strength from her body. After hesitating for a moment, she stood up and headed straight to her manager's office to request leave.She knew full well that, no matter how strained her relationship with Georgia had been, she couldn't just turn a blind eye. Blood was thicker than water — no matter how much she tried, she couldn't cut those ties completely.When she arrived at the hospital, she went directly to the Radiology Department.

After a long while, as if gathering all her courage, she slowly turned her head and softly asked, "How did you know I was there?""I told you we'd go home together after work. Why didn't you wait for me?"Lucien's tone was noticeably cold.Cynthia froze, suddenly recalling that he had indeed mentioned this. Lowering her eyes slightly, she murmured, "I forgot,"with a hint of barely noticeable guilt in her voice."You remember everything when it's about other people, but when it comes to me, you forget it all completely,"Lucien said, visibly annoyed. His eyes fell on the clothes she was wearing, and his expression darkened even more. "Take it off."Cynthia was still startled by his earlier words, and now, hearing this sudden command, she frowned slightly. Is he seriously thinking about... here, in the car?"What? Do you just love wearing another man's clothes that much?"&nbs

Did he secretly install a tracker on her or something?Lucien strode over to her, lowering his head slightly as he gazed at her. His voice was calm but firm. "Are you done here?"Cynthia met his eyes with an unshaken expression. "They want me to borrow money from you—to pay off another million for Georgia. Would you still be willing to lend it to me?""If you want it, I'll give it to you,"Lucien replied without hesitation.Cynthia let out a soft "hmm,"as if contemplating something. Then she turned to

    Shortly after.As Cynthia stood in front of the familiar doorway, she was met with nothing but cold emptiness.This was a place she had once loathed with every fiber of her being, yet it was also the place she had been forced to rely on.She had been gone for six years—who knew how much had changed?She pressed the doorbell, her expression utterly calm.The door swung open, revealing Toby standing shirtless, a large, inky-black tattoo sprawled across one shoulder. It was an indistinguishable mess. The moment he laid eyes on her, a sinister grin spread across his face. "We've been waiting for you."Cynthia stepped inside, her movements unhurried. Toby's gaze raked over her, sizing her up. "Looks like you've been living quite the luxurious life these past few years. Just look at those clothes, shoes, that bag—every single piece screams designer."She continued walking into the living room, her voice indifferent. "That's righ

The moment she clocked out, she left with Gina, and the two of them headed to a nearby restaurant for dinner.After confronting Cynthia earlier, Gina had already started to regret it. Yes, Cynthia had lied to her, but after cooling down, she questioned herself—what was she doing? She had only ever admired Lucien from afar. It had always been one-sided. What right did she have to hold her friend accountable for that?She trusted that Cynthia had her reasons.But she never expected Cynthia to drop a bombshell on her."Lucien is my ex-husband."Gina was utterly stunned, staring at Cynthia in shock, unable to proce

Nicky quickly reached out to support her, calling out anxiously, "Jacqueline!"Then, as he turned to look at Lucien approaching, an icy chill shot up his spine. His body involuntarily trembled.Lucien walked toward them, his fingers lightly brushing together as his cold, piercing gaze locked onto Jacqueline. His voice was laced with disdain as he said, "So, you've left clothes at my house before? I'll have the housekeeper search the storage room right away. If they find anything, I'll have it sent back to you immediately.
