By then, even Lynette, who was standing beside Lucas, was dumbfounded.Lucas… Lucas was not even listening to anything she said right now, because the only person he had in his mind at the moment was Serenity. Even his current murderous intent and cold savagery were all due to Serenity!Lynette truly believed that if this actress still refused to tell Lucas anything, he would soon kill her right then and there! And all just because of Serenity!Curse Serenity! Why the hell did Lucas care so much about her when Lynette was the woman Lucas believed to be the girl who had saved his life?! Lynette should be the woman that Lucas cared about the most in his life, not Serenity!Susie's body was trembling uncontrollably now as she was overcome by a devastating fear of death. She had acted in scenes where she had been choked before, but no matter how wild and barbaric the male actors she had worked with were in the past, and in fact, some of them had indeed been so violent that they did cho
The showbiz sector of the city had always been a hotspot for gossip, anyway, so now, everyone in the crowd began to make all kinds of speculations. As for the man who had started it all, Peter Wall, he just stood there confused and stupefied, still unable to process everything that had just happened.What… What exactly was going on between Lucas Gomez and Serenity?!Judging from the look on Lucas's face just now, it simply looked like… Like the woman he loved was in danger!The woman he loved?! Peter was shocked by the words that popped up in his own mind. How could he think so?! Was the man named Lucas Gomez not the same guy people called the Prince of Showbiz, the one who changed girlfriends as often as he changed clothes? There were even rumors saying that although this man had had numerous lovers in his life, in truth, he had never really loved anyone before.So, how could it be possible that Serenity was the woman he loved?— When Lucas got to the surveillance room, all t
But that did not deter Lynette. She had to show him how thoughtful she was! And so, she almost forced the glass of water into Lucas's hands, but once it was in his hands, it shook so violently that half of the water spilled out.Lucas was stunned. He tried his best to steady the glass in his hands, but the more he tried, the more frantically the glass shook. In truth, it was not the glass that was shaking, but his own hands!He stared blankly at the hands that were holding the glass. He had never been so nervous before. It was as if his body was… warning him, that no matter what happened, he must not lose that person!— Peter finally saw Serenity when he got to the police station. He had expected her to be injured in some way, but he was surprised to find her perfectly unharmed."I'm sorry I made you worry," Serenity told him apologetically. "I stepped on my phone, so I couldn't give you a call. I didn't remember your number either, so I had to get the SIM card from my phone and
His heartbeat intensified when his eyes met hers, almost as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat. It really felt like his body, his heart, and the blood in his body were all telling him how important she was to him!He could clearly hear his own heartbeat at the moment. He headed toward her one step at a time. It was all that he desired—to get closer and closer to her, to have a closer look at that pair of eyes, to see himself reflected in those clear and calm eyes of hers.As he approached her, he reached out his hands and quickly pulled her into his arms. Serenity was startled. She had never thought that Lucas would suddenly hug her like that in front of everyone. He was holding her so tightly now that she could not break free no matter how she struggled.In a low voice, she commanded him, "Let go of me, Lucas Gomez!""No," he murmured, enveloping his arms even more tightly now around her body, almost as if he was trying to embed her into his own body, "I won't let
How could that possibly be?!"Is this some kind of a twisted joke, Lucas Gomez?!""I'll never joke about this kind of thing!" Lucas looked up and cupped her face in his two hands before looking intently into her eyes and telling her, "Serenity Lewis, I have truly fallen in love with you!"Her eyes rounded as big as saucers, utterly unable to believe what she had just heard. But Serenity was not alone. Even Lynette, who had followed Lucas here had her eyes widened in disbelief as well. When Lucas had gotten the news from the road surveillance that the black car had come to the police station and that everyone in the car had gotten out of the car, he did not even wait for the phone call to end before rushing to his car and speeding toward the police station.Even Lynette, who had been beside him at the time, was not able to catch up to him, so she had had to call a taxi to get here. To her dismay, she was greeted by this scene as soon as she arrived!Lucas had just… confessed his
Serenity was initially startled, but then she discovered that the person pulling her away was Jackson."How… How did you get here?"As soon as she spoke, she instantly realized what a stupid question it was. She had followed the bodyguards that he had hired to the police station, so there was no doubt that they had long reported the incident to him."Don't you want to see me, Sis?"Jackson then lifted his hand and began to trail the parts of her body where Lucas had touched her, as if trying to completely cover the traces Lucas had left with his own caress.Serenity's whole body tensed up, but by then, Jackson had already turned back to Lucas and said, "I told you that you can't touch her!"Lucas frowned ever so slightly and slowly raised his gaze to meet Jackson's before replying, "Nothing will stop me from touching her!"It was a simple sentence, but it was enough to convey his steely determination."Impossible!" Jackson responded coldly.Lucas slowly parted his lips to repl
Could it be?! Could this man possibly be… Jackson Valor?!The Jackson Valor whose name struck fear in the people of Solaria? Was he really the “Jack” that Serenity had mentioned in the past?But… he had clearly remembered a magazine article saying that Jackson was the only son of the Valor family and that he had no other siblings.What’s more, the way he looked at Serenity and his tone when he spoke to Lucas, he didn’t act like her younger brother at all. Rather, he felt more like… someone who was head over heels for Serenity! Jackson and Lucas… the two top men in the city were fighting over… Serenity?! Peter felt the situation was a little hard to believe. At that moment, Lynette finally walked up to Lucas’ side. While biting her lip, she spoke in a pitiful tone, “Lucas, are you… in love with Serenity?” “Yeah,” he replied without hesitation. He was aware how devoted Lynette was toward him, but those feelings were simply not reciprocated. He could treat her as his savior
“Lynette, to avoid unnecessary rumors about our relationship, I think it’s best that we maintain the boundary between us,” said Lucas. In the past, when he was still unsure of his own feelings, he allowed Lynette to mislead the others into thinking she was his girlfriend. Even though he knew what she was thinking, he chose to remain silent. After all, she did save his life, and he didn’t mind that she was using him to prop up her self worth. However, things were different now! Now that he had discovered that he was in love with Serenity, he wanted to avoid her misunderstanding toward their relationship. Lynette’s face turned pale as a sheet when she heard that. She hung her head and replied, “If that’s the case, then… I’ll try to keep that in mind.” Her voice sounded pitiful, but her eyes, which were hidden from his gaze, were filled with rage and hatred. Her hands which hung next to her torso were gripping tightly onto the hem of her skirt. This was all because of that d
