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
Upon hearing Freya’s disapproving tone, Lotus’s fist clenched and her calm expression broke, a surge of humiliation coursing through her system.But in the next second, Lotus bit her lower lip and lowered her eyes to suppress her emotions, not saying a sentence in retort.A rueful smile appeared on Lotus’s face. It turns out that this is the kind of family the Ludovic family is. The type that looked down on the poor and only paid attention to the rich like them Venus’ eyes pooled with tears. Her body began to tremble, and her lips quivered. She grabbed Zaire's hand without caring about Lotus. “Zaire, I knew I was wrong for not contacting you throughout these years, but it's enough. Don't hurt yourself by marrying another woman to make me unhappy. I already realized that I was wrong. Forgive me, okay?” She sobbed; her voice was soft, and her beautiful face was pale, which was enough to tug at the heartstrings of any man.Zaire’s eyes turned dark, and he shrugged off Venus’ hand. “Thin
Darvish’s lips curved up, and his eyes shone with a cunning glint. Suddenly, he clapped his hands and pointed at Lotus. “I knew it. Aren’t you the best-graduating student at Imperial University who studied three courses and speaks more than three languages? You broke the school record for the best graduating student. Huh, your name again?” He knitted his brows and raised his hand as if trying to recall Lotus’s name.Upon hearing Darvish’s words, Venus' smile froze, and her expression became twisted. How can this Lotus b*tch be everywhere again? How is she so capable enough to leave a mark on Darvish and make him recognize her? Seeing the softened expressions on Freya and Fickel, Venus clenched her fist and gnashed her teeth together. No! She can’t give Lotus the chance to win over the old couple! Never!A bright smile unconsciously lit up on Lotus’ face, and she nodded while responding, “Lotus Meyer.” “Yes, that’s it. I gave a speech at your graduation; remember me?” Darvish inquire
Lotus smiled and used her chin to point at the door authoritatively as if daring Venus to go on to explain their conversation to Zaire. “Go on.” She ordered cockily and made her way out of the restroom. It’s not as if she cared anyway, and she was extremely sure that Zaire wouldn't care either. Love and feelings aren’t included in their relationship anyway.Venus gnashed her teeth together. Lotus is so fearless; does she think Venus can’t do anything to her?In the next minute, Venus’ expression turned calm. A sinister expression suddenly flickered past her face, and she followed Lotus without saying anything. Lotus was about to take the last step that would get her into the dining room when she felt a harsh tug on her hair. Lotus winced in pain due to the impact. Subconsciously, Lotus reached out to smack the hand away. However, Venus suddenly crashed on the floor with a scream before Lotus could.“Ahhhhhhh! Lotus, you don’t have to resort to this. It’s fine if you insist that Zai
Lotus woke up late in the morning, around 11:34 a.m., to a cold bed and a low-key, luxurious white room that was several meters wide. Taking a glance around the room, Lotus could see that the room was different from the master bedroom Zaire had taken her to after they returned from the Ludovic mansion. This signified that Zaire had dumped Lotus in a guest room after Lotus blacked out under his menacing stamina.Upon moving slightly, a wince spilled past Lotus’s lips. Her whole body hurts so much as if a trailer had run over her. It felt as if Lotus engaged in a strenuous exercise the day before, causing her whole person to fall apart.Tears pooled in Lotus’s eyes, and her face turned pale as a sheet as she recalled how the day before had ended. Venus has been the one to wrong Lotus, but Zaire punished her and made her first night with him a living hell. Did he like that woman so much that she could influence his mood to that extent? Lotus bit her lower lip, her whole body tremblin
