CHAPTER 41.As the night wore on, Lucas and Andrianne settled into the couch to watch a movie together. It was a romantic comedy, but neither of them paid much attention to it.

She had always been attracted to him physically, but until now she had never allowed herself to indulge in those feelings. Now, with him so close, she couldn't help but feel drawn to him.As the credits rolled on the TV screen, Andrianne and Lucas sat in silence, each lost in their own thoughts.

"Thanks for suggesting it."Andrianne smiled back at him. "I'm glad you liked it," she said. "It's one of my favorites."Lucas stood up and stretched his arms.

She turned around to see Steve, her ex-college boyfriend and current bodyguard, walk in. His face was twisted in anger, and Andrianne could feel her heart rate quicken in response."What are you doing here, Steve?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady."I came to get you back," he said, his voice laced with bitterness. "I saw you last night with that guy, Lucas. You're supposed to be with me, Andrianne."Andrianne felt her blood boil at his words. "Lucas is my husband, Steve," she said firmly. "Even if it is a contracted marriage, we have an agreement. And you have no right to come here and demand anything from me."Steve's expression darkened even further. "I have every right," he said, taking a step closer to her. "I love you, Andrianne. I've loved you since college. Don't you remember?"Andrianne shook her head, trying to push the memories of thei

She was trying her best to push the conversation to the back of her mind, but it kept nagging at her.As she opened the door to her house, she was about to ascend the stairs when her eyes caught something. Something that sent a shiver down her spine. It was a small camera, hidden in the corner of the room.

As Andrianne left the coffee shop, Steve sat there for a moment, his mind racing with thoughts of the past and the present. He couldn't believe that Andrianne was married to Lucas, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy at the thought. He knew he had no right to feel that way, but he couldn't help it.As he sat there lost in thought, his phone rang, and he saw that it was Lucas calling. He hesitated for a moment before answering, unsure of what to expect."Hello?" he answered tentatively."Steve, it's Lucas. Can you meet me at my office in half an hour?" Lucas said in his usual authoritative tone.Steve was taken aback by the request, but he knew he couldn't refuse. "Uh, yeah, sure. I'll be there."Lucas hung up without another word, leaving Steve feeling even more unsure of what was to come.

He stood up from his desk and stretched his arms and legs, feeling the tension in his muscles release.
