After shedding tears for an unknown period of time, Kate rose from the ground and made her way to the lavatory, where she refreshed herself and attempted to wipe away any trace of Lucas's touch on her body. However, despite her efforts, she couldn't eliminate all of the marks and stood before the mirror in frustration.

"He dared to claim my body as his own and then have the audacity to tell me he wouldn't touch me without the aid of drugs? Who does he think he is?" Kate muttered under her breat

    “Let me go!” Kate said as she tried to pull her hands away from Matteo. But she couldn't, as his grip on her hands was too strong. This scene reminded her of the moment in the hospital when she’d fallen into his arms, and he’d held her tighter instead of releasing her.“What is wrong with you? Have you lost your mind?" she bellowed, her hazel eyes now glaring at him with all her fury.Matteo was torn as he looked into her eyes. This was the first time he had seen Kate so angry at him, and for a moment, he was tempted to release her. But he quickly regained control when he realized he was doing this for her sake.“I’m sorry, Kate. But I’m trying to protect you. They won’t hurt you. You just have to come with us, and everything else will be fine," Matteo assured her, his eyes distressed as he looked at her.Kate scoffed, concluding in her mind that Matteo had truly gone insane. Seeing the determined look on his face, Kate knew he wouldn’t listen to anything she said. She wondered what l

    Kate rushed downstairs and into the living room, then stopped dead in her tracks. ‘Could she actually stay in the living room?’ she thought, then sighed loudly. She could have gone to Lucas's room to hide for the moment, but her room was a mess, and she was certain that Lucas wouldn't stay in her room for long.He’d want to go back to his room to take care of himself and his emotions. Lurking around the rooms, she was likely to run into Lucas, but where was she supposed to go? Kate wanted to give Lucas enough time to gather his emotions and process everything that had gone down between them. Now that Kate was alone, she took a deep breath and tried to process the whole moment with Lucas earlier.There was no doubt that before she entered her room, Lucas was already mad about something, and that something had to do with her. Her brows furrowed as she thought about what she could have done that would’ve gotten him so riled up.“The video!" she exclaimed, remembering that Lucas had menti

    “I wanted to believe you," Lucas whispered, rage trembling in his voice. “I didn't want to believe the video, but you lied to me," his voice eased, low and trembling with something far more terrifying than anger.‘What video?’ Kate thought to herself. She didn't dare question Lucas when he looked like he could destroy her at any moment if she uttered the wrong words.Lucas's eyes blackened with shadows as he stared at Kate. Suddenly, his hand shot up to her neck, while the other pinned her to the spot at her waist. “Why… why did you lie to me?” he growled.Kate flinched at his tone. But despite the fear she felt toward him at that moment, she mustered the courage to speak up."What are you talking about? What video?”At her words, Lucas's eyes dimmed, and he sneered at her. "Are you taking me for a fool now? You visited him behind my back and even let him wrap you in his arms like a damn whore!”Suddenly, the room seemed to shift, and Lucas felt himself being pulled back to the past—t

    Kate opened her mouth to answer, but no words came out. She looked at Lucas's cold face and sighed inwardly. ‘Why does it feel so hard to tell him where I was?’ she wondered.A voice whispered in her head. ‘Because he looks so terrifying right now.’Kate shivered and nodded slightly as if agreeing. Then she felt a pinch on her waist and turned to the brooding man. She saw the scowl in his eyes directed at her and realized he was still waiting for an answer. “I… where did everyone go? The house was empty when I came in,” she said quickly.Lucas narrowed his eyes. He knew what she was doing. She was stalling and avoiding his question. “I sent them away," he answered flatly.Kate blinked. He had sent everyone away? Even Ace? she thought and asked curiously, "Why?”The temperature in the room dropped, and Kate swallowed hard as she rubbed her hands together. “I asked where you were, Kitty,” Lucas repeated, bringing his hands forward to touch her chin. Then he turned her head toward his fa

    As Kate entered the living room, she plopped onto the couch and threw herself back, leaning into the sofa cushion and closing her eyes. She zoned out for a bit, lost in thought, trying to shake off the annoyance Matteo had ignited in her.After a while, Kate straightened up and blew out a frustrated breath, then let her mind wander back to her conversation with Matteo.‘What was wrong with him? Why was he being so unreasonable?’ she thought with a frown. This was the first time she had gotten mad because of him. Matteo had never behaved that way with her before. He’d always been kind to her, respectful, and considerate of her boundaries.Her frown deepened when she remembered how he had pulled her closer and wrapped his hands around her waist. “I should have hit him in the face! Maybe that would have brought him back to his senses,” she muttered regretfully.She had thought going to the hospital and explaining how things were between her and Lucas was the right thing to do. Matteo was

    Matteo watched as different expressions crossed Elizabeth’s face. She was lost in thought, her brows furrowed as she contemplated what to do. Then, he noticed her biting her lower lip a moment later, her eyes filled with hesitation and fear.Matteo was now more than curious to hear what secret about Lucas she was hesitating so hard to speak about. But for some reason he didn't yet understand, he didn't want to put her in a tight spot.She was affecting him. But why? Why was he being drawn to her?He mused, his eyes fixed on her face as he studied every tiny detail. After a long moment of stretched silence in the room, Matteo exhaled and finally said, “If you're too afraid to say anything, then don't."At his words, Elizabeth snapped her head toward him, stunned. "Why?”Matteo shrugged. "I don't know. I don't like the fear I’m seeing in your eyes. You don't have to tell me if it’s too hard to share."Elizabeth blinked. Then she blinked again. Damn it! Those words sounded sweet in her e
