“Yeah, she loves me. I can give other women jewelry, cars, properties, and even various jobs in the entertainment industry, but she…” ‘She only wanted my love.’ Those words were left unsaid. Even though Lucas hadn’t fallen in love with Coco, he still couldn't bear to part with her.He wanted to keep her by his side and wanted her to only love him. He knew he was being selfish by expecting her to do what he couldn't.Just then, Lucas’s phone rang. After a brief conversation, his expression changed slightly. He placed his wine glass on the table and prepared to leave."Hey, where are you going?" Caleb asked."Something came up, and I have to deal with it," Lucas replied coldly with a murderous glint in his eyes.Caleb was startled. It wasn't often that something could evoke such a reaction from his friend. Could this be about Coco again?Lucas’s driver was already waiting for him at the entrance. Just as Lucas was about to get into the car, Layla suddenly rushed toward him. Fortunat
Someone immediately approached Lucas as he got out of the car.“Mr. Gomez, he’s inside,” one of his subordinates reported.“Don't let anyone else in,” Lucas ordered coldly.“Yes, sir,” the subordinate replied.The vast warehouse was filled with dust and cobwebs. In the center of the warehouse, a man was lying on the ground miserably being watched by three men. He had clearly been severely beaten.Seeing Lucas, the three men immediately greeted him respectfully. “Mr. Gomez.”One of them stepped forward and handed Lucas a stack of photos. “These were found on him.”Lucas flipped through the photos that featured Coco and Loke. His expression turned darker as he continued browsing the photos. Lucas felt a pang in his chest when he noticed that Coco and Loke were very close to each other in the photos. “Where did you get these?” Lucas asked coldly.The man on the ground was trembling. “I... I took the photos at the wrap party. I happened to go to the restroom and saw them. I didn’t know wh
Though she had locked the car doors, she knew she could only be temporarily safe.Suddenly, her eyes widened as she spotted a familiar figure.It was Lucas! He was here!Lucas approached the car, gazing coldly at Aubrey inside."Break her windows," he ordered.Several men with iron rods began smashing Aubrey’s car windows."Ahh!" Aubrey screamed as she trembled with fear. She curled up and tried to hide beneath the seat.In a matter of moments, the car window was shattered, and the door was yanked open. Aubrey was then dragged out of the car."Aubrey, you’re still not giving up, are you? You’re still going after Coco after I warned you?" Lucas asked coldly.It took a moment for Aubrey to recover from her shock. She looked up and saw the stack of photos in Lucas's hand. Suddenly, she began to laugh. "Hahaha! So, you’ve seen those photos, huh? Good. I bought them just so you could see them."Lucas narrowed his eyes. "You wanted to show me those photos?""Of course. I wanted you to see th
Coco was glad about it as her days were peaceful. She only had two places to be every day, namely her studio and her apartment. She forced herself to think about work to distract herself from thinking about Lucas. However, in the dead of night, thoughts of Lucas crept in, leaving her sleepless, just like now.Lucas had kept his promise and hadn't appeared before her since that day. Perhaps they would gradually drift apart.As she was lost in thought, the doorbell suddenly rang.Coco got out of bed puzzled as she wondered who it could be at this hour. When she looked through the peephole, she saw Lucas standing there with his finger on the doorbell.Coco opened the door. "It's so late, what—"Before she could finish, Lucas had already pushed his way inside while closing the door behind him. In the next moment, he had Coco pinned against the wall.“Coco, why did you lie to me?” Lucas asked as his hot breath grazed her ear and neck.“I... I didn’t lie to you...” Coco tried to push him
Upon hearing that, Lucas felt irritated. He laughed and said, “Yes. Since we’ve broken up, you are going to switch over to Loke, right?” Immediately after that, he pressed his lips forcefully against hers.Coco almost drowned in the fierce and domineering kiss. She couldn’t let him continue doing that, otherwise, she couldn’t move on from him. Then, she decided to bite him hard. Lucas ended the kiss as he straightened up, his lip bleeding. "Coco, why are you resisting me? You'd rather kiss Loke than me?" Lucas looked straight into her eyes as he questioned her."I... I didn’t kiss Loke—" Coco denied it again, but before she could finish speaking, Lucas threw a stack of photos on the ground."Look at these! Are you going to tell me that these photos are edited? Or that the person in these photos isn't you?" Lucas asked sternly.Coco picked up the photos and finally saw them clearly.They were taken at the wrap party when she had gone to the end of the corridor and bumped into Loke.
Lucas was sure that Coco still loved him. However, the next moment, he felt restless as he doubted that she still had feelings for Loke. He wouldn’t let her fall in love with Loke! The only person she could love was him! Lucas's kiss grew more intense as he held her tightly in his embrace. Coco could only taste the strong, lingering taste of blood in her mouth.If they had ended up together previously due to alcohol, what excuse did they have this time? She didn't want to be intimate with him like this, but now, she felt powerless to resist. Coco was very helpless. The man whom she loved deeply didn’t believe her words, and it was hurting her. Tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably. Soon, Coco stopped struggling. Sensing that their kiss was unusual, Lucas lifted his head only to see Coco covered in tears with her eyes brimming with sorrow. It was the last thing he ever wanted to see. "Don't cry," he murmured, kissing away her tears.“Lucas, it’s fine if you don't want to
Listening to the bang of the door closing, Coco knew Lucas had left. She collapsed onto the bed, sobbing uncontrollably. Why did it have to be like this? Even though she had broken up with Lucas, why did it still hurt so much? The pain was so intense that even breathing felt excruciating.In the car, Lucas looked at the photos in his hand with Coco’s words echoing in his mind. ‘It isn’t what it looks like. He wasn't hugging or kissing me. The angle of the photo created this illusion.’Yes, the photo was taken from a certain angle. As the prince of the entertainment industry with his family rooted in the film business, he should have thought of this possibility immediately! Yet, he hadn't considered it at all. These few photos had made him lose his mind. If he had remained calm, he would have realized the misunderstandings caused by the angle of the camera. Lucas ruffled his hair in frustration. What was happening to him? He wasn’t his usual self. He neither wanted to love Coco nor
Something suddenly came across Minnie’s mind. “By the way, do you think Lucas has anything to do with the Stone family's downfall?"Coco was slightly taken aback. "I don't know.""Come on, it's quite possible! Otherwise, how could the timing be so coincidental? That day, Loke exposed how Layla bullied you in the past. When Layla tried to pour wine on you, it was Lucas who stopped her. It must be Lucas standing up for you. Layla deserves this!"Coco bit her lip as she wondered if Lucas was behind the Stone family's downfall. Did he do it for her?"Speaking of which, it seems like Lucas still cares about you..."“It doesn’t matter anymore since we have already broken up,” Coco said. “Alright, alright. I get it. You’re single now. Why don’t we go to a bar tonight and have some fun? Who knows, you might meet the man of your destiny," Minnie suggested.“Sure,” Coco agreed. After all, she wanted to forget about her worries, and going to a bar with Minnie sounded like a good idea.In the ev
