The following morning, there was a knock on Matteo's apartment door. Kate, who had just finished freshening up, emerged from the spare bedroom and asked, "Are you expecting someone?"

"No..... Perhaps you are." Matteo replied.

"Lucas." Kate whispered, ‘He sure moves quickly.’ Then his familiar voice sounded from outside the apartment.

"I know Kate was here last night. Will you open the door or do I have to break it down?" Lucas demanded.

Matteo walked to the door and opened it, revealing

    “Pull yourself together, will you?” Victor tried not to snap at Lucas as he talked some sense into him. “You could have any woman in the world if you wanted to. She’s just like any other woman, so why allow her to reduce you to this state?”Lucas’s jaw flexed as he looked up at Victor. “You know she’s not just any woman to me,” he gritted out, glaring at him. “If you don’t have anything better to say to me, then get out of here.”Victor sighed. Only God knew what Kate had bewitched him with, seeing that he couldn’t even talk badly about her. Since he couldn’t change Lucas’s feelings toward her, he might as well console him and convince him to leave the room.“All right.” He nodded. “Let’s not talk about her. Why don’t you get up from there and take a shower? You stink of liquor, man,” he added, scrunching up his nose in distaste.He didn’t get a response from Lucas. Victor narrowed his eyes as he thought of what he could say to get his attention. He smirked when something occurred to

    Kate's eyes glistened as she sat there, staring at the floor.Her heart was torn. She’d never been so confused about what to do before in her entire life. What was she supposed to do? Forget everything and forgive him? But could she really let go of the fact that Lucas had caused her parents' deaths?“Don’t tell me you're struggling to reach a decision?” Victor said, making Kate realize that someone was still with her and that she wasn't alone. “Lucas has never stepped inside his parents’ estate since he lost them, but he took you there to celebrate your birthday. Time and time again, he did something for you.”Kate's eyes descended on Victor as she looked at him. He continued, “Lucas has broken so many rules for you. He has chosen you over everything else, and do you know why? Because he really loves you. Even more than he loves himself. When I told you about his past, you felt sorry for him and didn't condemn him. Why do it now?”“How could you ask me that?” Kate hissed, her eyes gl

    Bob turned to Briella, nodding his head toward the door. "Go check who it is," he said.Briella nodded and stood up immediately, almost running to the door before flinging it wide open. She scowled when she saw that it was Ace. "It's you," she grumbled."Hey, kiddo." Ace raised his hands and ruffled her hair, making Briella's scowl deepen. He was always doing that to her, knowing very well that it annoyed her."Stop it," Briella hissed, slapping his hand away while Ace just winked at her. "Why are you here? Don't you always come back at night?" she fired, glaring at him.Both of them had always bickered since she had known him. That was because Briella was holding a grudge against him. After all, he had not been exactly pleased that Kate had come to her rescue that night, and she had also overheard Ace telling Kate that she looked suspicious and that Kate should be careful around her.Even though Ace had apologized for his initial assumption about her, Briella would not let it go easi

    Bob was busy setting dishes on the dining table when he heard the door open and turned his head. "You're right on time," he enthused, waving Kate over. "I made your favorite meals today."Kate opened her still-sleepy eyes and yawned loudly before she could stop herself. She walked lazily to the table and looked at Bob. "Good morning, Uncle. What did you make?" she asked as another yawn escaped her lips."See for yourself," Bob said, nodding at the table, his eyes watching her carefully. He couldn't help but notice how she had been sleeping too much lately and constantly yawning.A week had passed since the night Kate had shown up at his doorstep with her minions, and they had been living off him ever since. Ace always went out early before anyone woke up and came back late at night, while the girl Kate had saved the other day had taken it upon herself to visit Kate every day to keep her company, a gesture he was grateful for.He had noticed that Kate enjoyed the young girl's company a

    "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

    Lucas 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.

    Several days later, Lucas brought Kate to a thrilling car race with Ace in tow, determined to disregard the thought of Matteo and keep quiet about their sneaky escapade. "Wow," Kate gasped in awe as she took in the sight of the bold and vibrant-colored uniforms of the race participants, all engrosse

    As she gazed up at him, Kate couldn't help but wonder, “I wonder if we truly appear to be in love.” Hearing her question, Lucas inquired, "What is it?" Embarrassed, Kate shook her head, her cheeks growing redder. The rule of not falling in love had been firmly established by Lucas, and she was well

    The sincerity and intensity in Matteo's gaze ignited a burning desire to aid Kate. But the gravity of the situation struck her - ‘This is dangerous.’ She thought and straightened up, turning away from the balcony. "I.... should go." Matteo caught her wrist before she could leave. "Why? Because Lucas

    A gentle rap on the door disrupted her thoughts, "Enter." Kate's voice carried a hint of impatience. The door swung open and Lucas glided in, dressed in a sleek black suit with his hair slicked back. He exuded a devilishly attractive aura, causing Kate to involuntarily admire him. "Excellent. You'
