“You’re really nice, mister. You’re the best man in the world, aside from my daddy.”Lucas instantly blushed. He was at a loss. “Hehe, there’s no need for that! You’re so cute, adorable, and pretty. Every man would be good to you…”He suddenly felt a bone-chilling frostiness from the front on his right as soon as he said this. He lifted his head and looked only to meet Zachary’s apocalyptic glare. His knees buckled from fright. He landed, sitting on the floor.“What’s wrong, mister?” The little girl reached out her small hand to Lucas in an attempt to help him up.“You don’t need to do that. I can get up by myself.” At that moment, Lucas was keenly aware of why Zachary was glaring at him with eyes like the devil. He had taken Zachary’s spotlight away from the little girl. How could he possibly have the nerve to hold her hand?He scrambled to his feet, lifted his finger, and pointed at Zachary.“Have you forgotten, little one? The man who asked me to give you the chocolates was th
Sotiria, who had been watching from the sides, was stunned by the sight of it all. Naomi’s personality was nothing like hers. She must have inherited it from her father—cold, indifferent, and a little domineering. She regularly pushed people away from her. Hardly anyone could capture her attention.Garrison had spent more than a year before he could convince Naomi into gradually accepting him.Naomi had even slapped Zachary during their first meeting and labeled him as a villain.Yet, she voluntarily asked for a hug at their second meeting!This certainly wasn’t because Zachary had successfully bribed Naomi with chocolates.Naomi, who was cold to the bone, certainly couldn’t be bribed by a few pieces of chocolate. The only way to explain Naomi’s reaction was that she sincerely liked Zachary!‘Oh my God!’Zachary may have a deadly charm toward psychologically mature women, but he was always as cold as a glacier despite his handsome, incomparable good looks. Any kid would be fri
“I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it myself.”Lucas wondered if he was imagining things when he recalled that scene.“Do you know how that little girl managed to get here? She drove herself and smashed through the guards’ barrier at the gate. She forced her way into your courtyard. I ran into the living room as soon as I saw it, just to find out what was going on.”Zachary’s dark, shapely brows twitched.“Sir, it’s not like this hasn’t happened before, somewhere in the world. There was a news report last year about the child of two racers, husband and wife, who began driving at the age of three. So I suspect that Naomi has a strong gene for driving cars. Her father was probably a racecar driver or a highly skilled drag racer… Sir, where are you going? I’m not done yet, sir!”Zachary had walked out of the door long ago.The small red sedan was parked at the fountain in the courtyard. Sotiria slipped into the driver’s seat and held the steering wheel with both hands. As
Sotiria was just about to refuse when a deep roar rang aloud like thunder before she could speak. “Save it. She’s my fiancee. I don’t need you to drive her!”“Oh?”Zachary turned around and saw Garrison, who was hurriedly walking toward him like a meteor. He curled the corners of his lips into a disdainful angle.“You’re right on time. Where were you when your fiancee was tied up in a suite, suffering humiliation and violation from two men?”“And you still have the nerve to mention that!”Garrison, who was now extremely furious, no longer cared about his image. He gathered his strength and threw a punch on Zachary’s face.Zachary, who was not ready at all and had not expected Garrison to attack after a disagreement, received a firm punch in his left cheek—Garrison had moved very quickly after all. A trail of blood trickled from the corners of his perfectly shaped lips.Garrison was still enraged. He didn’t wait for Zachary to regain his center before throwing another punch on hi
Zachary did not care what Garrison said, and he stared at Naomi without blinking.When Zachary had been choking Garrison’s neck, Sotiria had wanted to get out of the car to save Garrison. Unfortunately, Zachary had been pressing Garrison firmly against the car door, and they were blocking the door. She could only get out of the car from the other side. By the time Sotiria got out of the car, Naomi had bitten Zachary, and Garrison had pushed him away.Sotiria wanted to tend to Zachary’s wounds when she saw the blood gushing out of the corner of his lips and legs. However, when she heard what Garrison had said, she came to her senses as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head and stopped walking toward Zachary abruptly.‘Hah... As expected! I didn’t wrong Zachary!‘It was he who spiked my drink and made two filthy and hideous men do such shameless things to me. No matter how bad the wounds Garrison and Naomi caused, he deserves them. I don’t have to sympathize with hi
Zachary opened his pearl-white teeth and thin lips. “Shoot.”“Er, this is how it goes. Although Naomi has always addressed Garrison as her daddy, Garrison isn’t Naomi’s biological father. Four years ago, when Sotiria got into a car accident, she was already pregnant with Naomi.”Upon hearing what Lucas had said, a hint of warmth finally appeared in Zachary’s cold eyes. “Who’s her biological father?”“It’s impossible to find out about this!” Lucas shook his head. “Second Master, you should also know just how messy Sotiria’s private life was in the past. I’ve roughly gone through her profile. She had had sex with more than 1,200 men in just the two months before her car accident. That’s an average of more than 20 men per day. Ahem! Any of these men may be the one who impregnated her with Naomi. So if you want to figure it out, unless I get these men—”“That’s enough!”After listening to Lucas, the hint of warmth that had finally appeared in Zachary’s eyes cooled down and froze. At t
Back at Zachary’s house, Sotiria had already identified that the person who had ordered those men to hurt her was Zachary. However, there was still a trace of hope in her heart. She knew very well that it was a slim hope, but it was like a needle that had pierced deeply in her heart and that she could not ignore.She really hoped that it was not Zachary!Sotiria had been assaulted so brutally by the two men that she could still feel subtle pain in her body, head, and face now.‘Zachary! The person who told me that he likes me over and over again, the person who kept on calling me “Little Sweetheart”, the person who gave me 9,999 roses, and even kissed me twice!‘He actually arranged for two men to violently assault me to achieve his goal!?’Sotiria did not know the reason behind it.She clearly knew about Zachary’s intention in approaching her from the beginning, and she was also aware that Zachary had no feelings for her at all, but she could not get Zachary out of her mind.In
The stalwart and regal Zachary responded, “I’m your lover in the first place. What’s there to be misunderstood?”Boom! It was like a bomb had been detonated in Sotiria’s mind. She almost foamed at the mouth and passed out.“Get in the car. I have something to show you.” Zachary’s melodious baritone and his alluring breath brushed against her cheek.Sotiria, who tried hard to compose herself, sensed that the people around them had started to stare at them oddly. Being annoyed and ashamed, she gnashed her teeth and glared at Zachary’s back. “I won’t get into your car. Whatever it is that you want to show me, bring it to me. Otherwise, I won’t see it, and I’ll leave now.”Zachary raised his eyebrows mischievously. “So, do you want me to carry you into my car?”‘What!?’ The corners of Sotiria’s lips twitched.“My God! Did you hear that? This man said he wants to carry her. Isn’t her relationship with this man obvious? Why is she still trying to pretend to be reserved?”“Yes, hypoc
