Thank you guys for the comments. I really appreciated it a lot. Uhm. I have a lot of plans on how the previous chapter (bloody scenes, twist) will unfold but I never expected it to be like that. Lol. It wrote itself But thinking about it, their love for each other was unmeasurable so even though Lotus tried to lie to herself at first, she will still chose to ear Zaire's clarifications. Thank you guys for reading my ramblings. And thank you for reading up till here. I truly never expected it. I love you my ZETUS family. Next chapter loading.... CIAO for now
"I'm back in the country, Aubree." Lotus excitedly revealed to the person at the other end of the phone while pulling her luggage behind her as she walked out of the airport.Lotus's eyes lit up when she saw the taxi she called earlier drive into the airport. After such a long flight, Lotus felt so tired due to jet lag, and the last thing she wanted was to get delayed by the taxi.She waved at the taxi, and the taxi slowly drove to a stop next to her."Ahhh!" Upon hearing Lotus’ words, Aubree shrieked at the top of her lungs in excitement. "Lotus, why didn't you let me know? I would've picked you up from the airport. I've missed you a lot." Aubree chided with a pout.Lotus smiled and got into the taxi. "Why miss? Didn't I leave the country just a few days ago? Moreover, it won't be a surprise if I let everyone know the bride is back so soon." She replied and neatly dumped her luggage next to her."I agree." Aubree giggled and suddenly said it craftily. "Then. You're visiting my place
Soft piano music pervaded the expensive and beautiful white hall of L&L, one of the top 40 most expensive halls in USA. Laying on the seat were famous and wealthy figures in the business industry. "Let the bride in." The MC, one of the most famous stars in the country, suddenly announced Upon hearing the words, a handsome smile that stole the young ladies hearts appeared on Dylan's face. Dylan rubbed his hands anxiously and neatly arranged his hair as if he didn't want his bride to see any part of him mismatched. Aubree clenched the handkerchief in her hand in hatred, her finger dipping into her palm. Why should it be Lotus? Just why? Why did Lotus have to have it all? Despite sacrificing everything for Dylan, why did he end up marrying Lotus? Despite the thoughts running through her mind, Aubree tried to fake a calm smile. Just soon. She had been patient all this day; a single misstep wouldn't ruin her handiwork. The doorknob was suddenly pulled from outside, causing all
“Dad?” Lotus's eyes widened in shock, disbelief, and anger. It felt as if the temperature had just dropped, making her whole body tremble due to the cold. She couldn't believe that her father would choose to support the enemy's side, despite knowing that Dylan was wrong. Just for his greed. Just for his… What hadn't Lotus done for Mr. Meyer? Help with the company? Try to be docile and demure despite knowing that she was never his favorite child. Although she had always known that he didn't like her as much as he did with his stepfamily, now she realizes that he doesn't like her at all. “Elder sister shouldn't have been so rash and posted the video. Marrying brother Dylan is a blessing.” Aster suddenly clung onto Lotus’s hand and whispered in a demure and docile tone, her black eyes shining. Her face was teary, giving one the urge to console and protect her. If one doesn’t know well, one will think she was the victim. Lotus's expression turned cold, and she brushed off Aster's hand
Bang! A sudden kick at Lotus's waist woke her from her deep sleep. The impact made her roll from the bed and crash on the floor heavily. “Ahhhh!” Lotus cried out and sucked in a mouthful of pain before massaging her painful waist pitifully. Upon realizing the meaning of her condition, Lotus’ eyes flew wide open. For years, she had kept her womanhood for her special man, but it was gone just like that. Zaire coldly stared at the silly woman whose expression kept changing. Last night, one of the clients had boldly drugged his drink. He never expected that as soon as he kicked the lady out of the room, another went in to take advantage of his drugged self to seduce him. He sat up and stared at Lotus with piercing and cold eyes. “Woman, how dare you step into my room?” Lotus's eyes flew wide open. What did that person mean that she stepped into his room? Throughout last night, no man approached her until she stepped into room 256 she booked. Lotus was about to soak in cold water wh
Lotus's eyes watered, and they were fixated on the red documents she held in joy Never did she expect that her bad fate would turn for the better when she least expected it. Not only did she not become a mistress for that jerk, but she ended up getting married to the nation's number one husband and the youngest billionaire, solving all her issues and changing her fate. Her eyes landed on the otherworldly-looking cold man with joy in her eyes. It's all thanks to this person. No, it’s all thanks to the person who handed her the club ticket and the bartender who spiked her drink. If any of that hadn't happened, how would she end up with Zaire Ludovic? A sense of joy overwhelmed Lotus’ heart, and before she could realize herself, she already threw herself into his embrace. "Za. Mr. Ludovic. That. Thank you." Tears welled in Lotus' eyes and she cried out pitifully, her nose a bit red. Zaire stared at the woman’s joyful expression with blasé. "Hm. Give it." He uttered nonchalantly.
Upon seeing Zaire, Lotus' eyes widened in joy,Suddenly, a thought flickered past Lotus’ mind, causing a cunning glint to glisten in her eyes.Lotus hurried toward Zaire and wrapped her hand around Zaire’s hand in delight. “Husband, you're here. I told you to wait for me. I'll be out soon.” Lotus laid her head on Zaire’s chest and cried out in a coquettish, sweet, and thin voice that'd unconsciously tug at the heartstrings of any man.However, Lotus’s tensed fist that wrapped around Zaire’s hands revealed how nervous she was.It was vivid that Lotus was afraid that Zaire wouldn't play alongside her, even though the chance was less. Zaire’s eyes darkened slightly, and his Adam's apple bobbed. Such a bewitching woman Zaire grabbed Lotus' chin and kissed her lips softly. “Your room?” He questioned in a deep, husky, and sexy tone. His dark eyes were intensely fixated on Lotus’s face, making her face flush red.Lotus gulped down while thinking that this person was too devilishly handsome
The sudden kick at the door by Dylan interrupted the silence. Dylan stormed into the mansion immediately. Dylan's face was cold and dark with fury. That bitch! Not only did Lotus humiliate him in the presence of the whole nation, but she also dared to step on his ego. He promised that once he had Lotus in his palm, he’d make Lotus pay fiercely and make Lotus’s life a living hell!Without even taking a look at the crowd, Dylan bellowed in a domineering and disapproving voice. "I heard Lotus return home!"Aubree sighed, and she also catwalked into the mansion while holding Dylan’s hand. Her face was filled with vivid worries as if she really cared about Lotus. "Lotus, how can you disappear since last night? Did you know how worried we were? I know you're afraid and unsettled, but Dylan and I will take care of..."Upon seeing the man behind Lotus, Aubree’s eyes widened, and she froze due to shock. Aubree's lips fell wide open, and her jaw dropped. "Eh, Mr. Mr. Ludovic?" She called out
As soon as they arrived in the car, Lotus quickly separated from Zaire and sat straight.Lotus lowered her head and exhaled in relief. When Lotus stepped into the Meyer mansion earlier, she had no courage because she didn’t know what she'd face in the mansion. Luckily, Zaire had stepped in to help her, or else what would she have done?Upon recalling how Zaire had stood up for her, Lotus’s heart was invaded with warmth and sweetness.Lotus and Zaire only had a contract, yet Zaire had raised her dignity in front of everyone and shocked everyone. Lotus bowed to Zaire, her head almost touching her knees in her sitting position due to the impact. "Mr. Ludovic, thank you for speaking up for me." She appreciated, her voice soft and sincere“Hm.” Zaire aloofly picked up his laptop and placed it on his lap without taking a glance at Lotus. His behavior was miles different from the one he had in the mansion. He took a glance at the windshield and instructed the driver, "Drive.”The driver t
