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 Lucas and Ace standing behind him. Dark circles under Lucas's eyes suggested he didn't sleep well last night.

'Was it because of me?' Kate wondered.

"Kate, you're coming with me. As my fiancée, you should not be spending the night at another man's home," Lucas said with a scowl.

"Matteo is my friend," Kate defended.

"That doesn't matter. He is still a man," Lucas said coldly, and Kate bristled at his dismissive tone.

"She didn't have to go with you," Matteo intervened.

"Is that so?"

    “Kitty," Lucas called out, breaking the comfortable silence between them, and Kate hummed against his chest. “Why don’t you tell me more about yourself? I want to know what you like and the things you don’t. I want to know every single detail about you; from your childhood days to your teenage years, and how you grew up so beautifully to be my feisty woman.”Kate chuckled at Lucas’s last words. Seriously? she thought, shaking her head. “Why are you suddenly curious about this?” Kate asked him instead of giving him an answer.Lucas shrugged. "I want to know you more, Kate. I'm curious about your past and the life you led before we crossed paths,” he answered, and Kate nodded.If Lucas had asked her this about herself before he confessed his feelings to her or before she started developing feelings for him, she’d have scoffed at him or rolled her eyes at his words. But she knew better now. Lucas was interested in her past because he was now in love with her.He probably wanted to know h

    “Is the sun rising from the west today?” Ace said as he entered the kitchen and saw Lucas wearing an apron, mixing something in a bowl while the chef stood by, giving him instructions. Ace raised his eyebrows. “What are you doing?" he asked curiously.Lucas was not the type to set foot in the kitchen. Ace had never seen him enter the kitchen since his parents' demise. He hated going near this place, so Ace couldn't understand why he was there or what he was trying to do.“Good morning, Sir Ace. Master is learning how to make porridge soup," the chef said, and Ace nodded in understanding.Then his eyes widened in realization, and he snapped his head toward Lucas. "What?” he exclaimed. "You want to learn how to cook, but why?” Ace asked, his tone filled with disbelief."Why? Am I not allowed to learn?” Lucas said without removing his eyes from what he was doing. His shirt sleeves were rolled up as he diced the vegetables and onions effortlessly.Ace’s mouth hung open. He couldn't help

    “What did you say?” Kate asked, wanting Lucas to elaborate further. ‘What does he mean that he wants her to move into his room? Was he breaking his own rules?’“I want you to move into my room," Lucas repeated. Kate's eyes swirled with warmth, yet confusion. She couldn't read the man before her; he was as unreadable as ever.“Why?" she asked in a soft tone.“What, why?" Lucas asked back, and Kate sighed, deciding to let her thoughts out.“Why are you doing this? Now that we're married, I know you have your father's inheritance with you, and no one would be able to stop you or stand in your way. If you keep being this way with me, I’m afraid I won't be able to stop myself from falling in love with you and breaking your rules.”Lucas looked at Kate for a moment. Then he leaned down and kissed her. He pulled back just barely so that his breath touched her lips with each word. "I made the rules so I can break them whenever I want to. You’ve opened my heart in a way I thought no one could,

    The next morning, Lucas woke up with the light of the sun caressing the curtains with its golden rays. His emerald eyes peeled open, and the first thing that greeted his sight was the beautiful face of his wife.‘His wife,’ Lucas repeated in his head, liking the sound of it. She slept peacefully, facing him, and their legs were draped across each other's.Lucas's eyes gleamed with affection as he watched her sleeping form. He felt a blissful feeling welling up in his chest. Suddenly, he had the urge to sleep next to her every day and wake up beside her the next morning. He wanted to have days like this with her every single day of his life.After leaving Ace behind in the study room last night, Lucas entered his room, and seeing Kate lying peacefully on his bed made him want to join her and sleep next to her while holding her in his arms. And that was exactly what he did.It didn’t take him long to fall asleep when the warmth of her body melted with his and lured him to sleep. ‘Was he

    “What is the plan?” Elizabeth asked her father immediately as they entered the living room. She had been hurt seeing Lucas marry someone else right in front of her! She had wanted to cause a scene earlier, accusing Kate of stealing her man and taking away the status of being Mrs. Romano from her.In the beginning, she had befriended Lucas because her father ordered her to do so and wanted to forge an alliance with the most powerful mafia gang in the country. But after spending time with Lucas and experiencing what it seemed like for a man like Lucas to love a woman, Elizabeth deviated from her father's plan.She became greedy for more. She wanted to own the man completely, his heart and everything he had. She wanted to be his wife—how powerful she'd become if her father and Lucas joined forces through her. They would dominate the world, and she’d be at the pinnacle. People would respect her more and fear her.Just when she was almost close to succeeding in her plans and fulfilling her

    “Where do you think you are going?” Lucas asked with knitted brows when he saw Kate heading to the hallway that led to her room instead of his. Was she going to sleep in her bedroom? Had she forgotten that they were newlyweds now, and tonight was supposed to be their wedding night? Lucas mused silently as he watched her.Kate pursed her lips together, not understanding what the man wanted from her again. She had married him, hadn't she? What else did he want from her?“I'm going to my room," she answered, despite the thoughts in her head.Lucas raised a brow at her words. “Need I remind you that we're legally married now? You're my wife, Kate. And you will sleep in my room, on my bed… beside your husband,” he said, his tone brooking no argument.Kate scoffed at his words as she put her hands on her waist. “What marriage? Are you having delusions now? This is a fake marriage, alright? I'm not going to put up with your tyrannical ways of having things go your way!"Lucas took a step clo
