Aria froze at the door. Her eyes stared at the sleeping man. Her footsteps slowly drew closer, and her ragged breathing made the atmosphere feel heavier. Lucas Sage looks so cold from the outside, cruel, and arrogant. No one would have guessed that Lucas had such a complex life story. Lucas kept everything to himself. He doesn't tell stories, doesn't share his stories, doesn't complain. When such a heavy daily burden forges him, it's only natural that he is now very cruel. "Forgive me!" Aria muttered, her hand stroking Lucas' cheek gently. She felt guilty for all her bad thoughts about Lucas. Although she had to admit, Lucas could be downright terrifying at times. Lucas gasped, he opened his eyes and found Aria's face looking at him awkwardly “Hey? Don't worry, I'm fine. I've recovered, why do you look so worried?" Aria showed her smile that was so calm. She did not know what to say, which was so difficult for her to understand. She didn't want Lucas to face everything alone. She r
Manhattan in the morning impressed as usual. They are busy, and the city seems busy too. Lucas had not stopped sighing heavily with his annoyance. He had warned Aria to wear closed clothes, look what that girl was wearing. "Come on! It's just a normal skirt!” Aria said "That's too short!" Lucas still felt uncomfortable, even though he had often warned Aria about this. She shouldn't have provoked Lucas, let alone provoked another man's passion. “That's not, it's as long as my knee. Look, this makes me more elegant, right?” Lucas took off his jacket, he covered Aria's thighs with the coat so that no one could see Aria's long legs. He felt that Aria was a diamond only for him, no one was allowed to enjoy Aria's body apart from him. "You are mine! Your body is mine, even your soul will also be mine. You got that?” Lucas said firmly Aria bit her lower lip, she drew a slight line of her lips to smile. She didn't know how to react, but Lucas' attitude was very sweet. She loved the way L
Lucas discovered something different when he saw the way Aria was talking to Andriano. The girl seemed very beautiful with a smile so innocent. Aria showed her clear side. Lucas suddenly felt lucky, because he was the first to have everything for the first time from Aria. "Sir, don't say you're going to do what I'm thinking right now" Aria flinched as Lucas pressed her body down. Aria's movements were locked, because Lucas was between her thighs. They are in a position that teases each other's bodies. "Tell me what are you thinking now?" "Well, does this position have to explain everything?" Aria said “This is why I forbid you from wearing clothes like this!” Aria rolled her eyes lazily. She had convinced herself that she was not wearing too skimpy clothes. She felt she had closed enough. If anyone were to be blamed, it would be Lucas's thoughts. "Come on, no kidding now! We're in your office!” Lucas sighed heavily, he couldn't control himself. The tightness was already hiding
Alex didn't expect that he would be in such a situation. Trapped between two women who had been shouting at each other. Alex was even more worried because Aria was the one who was the least able to control her emotions. “Karina, Enough!” Lucas' baritone voice broke the silence in seconds. Alex breathed a sigh of relief, at least he didn't have to be in the commotion anymore. "Oh thank god!" Alex stepped back, he fixed his suit which was messy because Aria pulled him. Lucas made a sign with his hand to Valery to ensure no other employees came up. He didn't want this kind of commotion to become a spectacle. He is not interested in rumors that will make his office employees noisy, but secretly, he is actually interested in getting praise from people around his office without realizing it. Karina didn't want to be blamed, the look on her face immediately changed to that of a woman who is the weakest, and hurt for all of this. She only felt disgusted when her arrival was not appreciated
Lucas could have been better at stringing nice words together. He only shows the concern he has through his actions. Their eyes met, which should have been enough for Lucas to explain how he felt. "Yeah, you're my love! My woman, and the only one I have to love. Does that answer all your doubts?” he said. Aria's feelings melted as soon as she heard that. Of all the words Lucas had ever said, those were the sweetest words he had ever heard. Especially when Lucas looked closely into Aria's eyes. Ostensibly, he convinced Aria of his feelings. "Are you serious about what you said?" Lucas nodded without hesitation, he was so sure of his decision “I'm not kidding! So what?" Aria lowered her head for a moment. She felt a lot of anxiety because the people around her gave a different assessment of Lucas. At a time like this, Aria should have listened to her heart. Aria must understand what her heart wants. There is no room for her to move backwards when she has made a decision. She didn't
Aria didn't understand anything. She only guessed Lucas and Aria's facial expressions that changed in seconds. The two men both had tense looks on their faces. They didn't budge for a while, and just left. Aria had stopped Lucas' steps, but Lucas' words firmly told her not to follow. Aria was pushed back, she could only see Lucas' back and Alex disappeared at the end of the passage. “Oh my, it's been over three hours already. What are they really talking about?” Aria glanced at Lucas' study repeatedly. That curiosity tormented Aria, she only felt a pounding feeling of worry. Especially when Alex mentions a woman's name. Aria walked back and forth in front of the room, she had been waiting for Lucas' arrival since earlier. When she heard the sound of footsteps approaching, she turned around but all that came was Maya. “Miss Aria? I thought you were asleep!" Aria shook her head "I think I want to smoke!" Maya glanced in various directions "Then let me accompany you to relax on the
"Alright, I want you to submit the essay tomorrow!" Miss Lisa gave quite heavy assignments, so several students complained. In contrast to Aria, who acted relaxed, because there were no difficult college subjects for her. She will solve everything easily. Aria tried to go about her activities as usual, and the anxiety she felt only grew. "What? He's not coming home anymore?” Aria protested. It had been more than three days since Aria had last seen Lucas in this house. Even though Lucas returned home, he only came home when Aria was asleep, and that kept them from seeing each other “Yes Miss Aria!” Maya answered with a faint smile. Deep inside, Maya felt even happier. Lucas seemed very busy, so he didn't have time for Aria. Maya felt relieved because she thought Lucas no longer cared about Aria. Aria sighed heavily, this was beyond her will. She had tried to call Alex and Lucas, but neither picked up Aria's calls. “How could none of them care, I'm already feeling anxious like this
Lucas didn't want to be bothered by anyone. He didn't want any trouble in his life, when it came to Aria. His perspective had changed, ever since he knew Aria. He felt the need to protect the girl more than he protected his life. He had received news of Margaret's death. Alex had taken care of everything and ensured that Lucas didn't get dragged into the matter, especially when it involved the media. However, a surprising thing happened. Lucas received terror again; this time, Aria was in it. Someone sent a photo of Aria covered in blood. Lucas felt shortness of breath, his heart was pounding and his chest ached. He was tired of games like this. It was as if inside him, there was no cruelty that he harbored. Everyone who terrorized him, ended up disappearing from this world. Life is too cheap a price for Lucas. "You think I don't know who told you to do this?" Lucas snapped at the three men in front of him. Even though the three men had already knelt begging for forgiveness from him
