Lucy’s POV

"No! I'm not going with you—"

"Whether you like it or not, you're coming with me," he said as he forcefully pulled me onto the jet.

I locked eyes with him, but no matter how much I glared or narrowed my eyes, I could make him stop being the domineering husband!

He's had power over my life since the first time he saw me, and I was so angry I couldn't do anything.

“Sit.”

I sat next to him without saying a word.

“May I just remind you that I’m in charge of our relationship.”

“We don’t have a relationship.” I snapped back.

He smirked, “Yes, but as of now, I am your husband and you are my wife.”

I sighed in a troubled expression because I just realized that it takes three hundred sixty-five days to stay with him. Maybe sleeping all day could help to fast forward the days and nights.

Okay, that does make sense. Instead of talking to him, I'm going to sleep now so when I wake up, it's already day two!

I’m not a pervert!” and I poked his head with my knuckles till he couldn't believe that I had just done that to him. “What—” I was about to slap him again but he caught my hand and said, “F–Fine, I’m not gonna touch you again.” And I pushed him away while sighing heavily. Without even glancing at me, he removed his coat and handed it to me, saying, "I'm sorry." I took his coat and put it over my shoulders while giving him a mean look. He ran his finger through his hair and softly smiled as he thought about what I had done to him. He then glanced at me and noticed that I had been staring at him the whole time.His smile faded as he sighed and said, "I'm sorry." I didn't answer him.

He pulled me so close to him while he was licking my flower, and he looked up to see my reaction. He smiled, “I didn’t know you tasted so good, Lucy…” "Arman…" I let out a gasp when I caught his intense licking of me. It felt so good that I wanted to arch my back and press his face against my clit. "Ohhh..." My cheeks flushed as I closed my eyes as if something had suddenly exploded. I pushed Arman away because it was too much for me to handle. Even though my knees were trembling, I crossed my legs defensively. He stood up and seductively puckered his lips. He looked at me, leaned close, and whispered, "Finish your shower." Then he left me with a smile on his lips. We had just done something that I didn't understand, so I slowly blinked my eyes

I told him with a smile. And I pulled away from him, saying, "Don't worry, I'm not going to breach the contract." **********************The following morning, I awoke next to him in the same room. He had his arms around my waist, and when I tried to move, I couldn't move because he tightly held my waist.I stared at him for a minute until I noticed his wrinkled brows, and saying something under his breath made it look like he was having a bad dream. "Hey, wake up!" I gently tapped him on the top of the head. He sat up, looked around, and breathed heavily. With wide eyes, he skimmed at me and said, "Get ready; we're leaving now." "Oh, I thought we were going to stay here for a week?" I got out of bed and gathered my belongings

He was making fun of me in the deep sea, and I felt like he was playing with me and treating me like a f*cking toy. "Lucy, are you okay?" he asked like it wasn't a big deal. It broke, and I yelled at him, "Do you really think what you did there was okay?! It was just unacceptable! YOU DUMBASS!" He gave a soft laugh and said, "You're overreacting. Nothing bad happened back there." "Stop talking!" I gathered my things and put them outside while wiping my tears away. Ugh! I really hate this man. Then, the staff at the Grand Resort helped me with my things. I took a quick look at Arman, who was still following me like a dog. I pushed him away, “Don’t follow me.” "What?" he asked with a mischievous grin. "I'm the owner of the jet. What are you gushing about?" I got so mad that I screamed a

I can't remember where or when, but I know I had. “Don’t you remember me?” "Edward, this is the first time the woman doesn't remember you at all," the other man pointed out. I tried not to look him in the eye because this man's stares made me feel so uncomfortable. "I thought the club was open at this time," I said as I stepped back. "Are you looking for someone or...something?" he asked nicely, but his tone included a bit of teasing. “Uh, I think she’s not on duty… so maybe I’ll just come back another time.” I said and turned my back at him. But he said, “Whoa… wait…” I took a moment to think and then told him, "I'm leaving..." "Baby girl, I know you're leaving, but why are you so forgetful of me?" Listening to him call me his baby girl again made my blood boil. "Don't call me that." He laughed and said, "Oh, s

I felt bad for her, so I hugged her tight and whispered, "I'm sorry, Annie." Annie gave me a silent nod, and I stared at her battered face; it was as if the trauma she suffered left her unable to work for days. I felt so bad for her, and I felt hopeless. She took a deep breath and said, "Lucy, I don't want to see you again. I no longer want to be involved in your personal life. I have a daughter who needs me. I hope you understand." Then I slowly let go of her hand, sad that I had lost another friend. Somehow, I feel like I was meant to be alone all my life.

Then, there was Alisha and Enrique, who were eating quietly and looked melancholy.Arman's security chief walked in out of the blue and whispered something to him. Arman nodded and cast a gaze in Edward's direction, who silently sipped his wine."A problem has come up at work."Sofia asked, "Oh, then you have to go now?"Arman replied quietly, "Yes," then he looked at me and said, "Don't worry, my driver will take you home."

"W—What are you?" Even the sound of my words showed how shocked I was. Then he took out a silver gun and smiled at me. "Do you know that I kill my enemies with this gun? I've had this gun for ten years." "What are you talking about?" "I see you're interested in learning about my background," he said with a mischievous grin. What I'm about to say will shock you, Lucy."

"It's okay; life is like that. I have to go."I glanced at Uncle Robert, who looked so worried about Jane's condition, and Aunt Cecille ran outside to call the nurse and doctor.

But no one still knows who that guy was. Why don't you forget about it so you don't have to worry about it anymore?" "How can I forget about it if my life has been in danger and people have tried to kill me ever since my father died?" I asked with disdain. He touched my face and whispered, "You need not be afraid anymore. Please know that I am here for you and will protect you as long as you are with me."I felt a pang, a bitter ache in my heart as I stared at him. He says the same things that Arman always told me, and I can't help but think about the good old times with Arman. Looking at him, though, brought back a memory.

I retreated and said, "I think I forgot something. Sorry." I then closed the car door and ran away in fear.But the taxi followed in the street, I frowned and muttered in panic, “What’s wrong with him?” Even though it was pouring rain, I kept running until I tripped and looked like I couldn't go on. The cab driver stopped in front of me. As I tried to crawl, he got out of his car and smiled at me. He had a deep scar on his face. "So, you're Lucy Hansley?

It's been three damn days that shipment's been floating in that damn ocean!"Ray answered, "Port security's been doing thorough inspections, and we can't afford to lose another shipment. So, we asked the captain to hold standby.""Ray..." I sighed, my anger simmering. "You better handle this. No more delays by tomorrow, or else we lose the Pattani deal."Looking up, I met my men's eyes and issued a command: "Request an extension from Pattani.

Part of me feared rejecting him, but another larger part was that I couldn't ignore the growing unease in my gut. Ever since his relentless pursuit began, his true colors had started to show. He didn't just give up so easily; he tried to make me happy again, which made me reluctant to ignore his feelings. Before Alicia could spot us, I dragged Hugo into my office and locked the door. Taking a deep breath, I tried to calm my nerves. He waited patiently, his gaze fixed on me. Then I turned to face him and bit my lower lip. "Hugo..."

He watched silently as my sobs wracked my body.Wiping away tears and sniffling, I forced out the words, "I think..." I paused softly and expressed, "I think it's best if you distance yourself from me." "Why?" He reached out a hand hesitantly, then stopped before making contact. "I know I must seem like a stranger, but seeing your pain... It hurts me too. I can't bear to see you cry because of him. I know you don't understand me doing this to you, but trust me, I don't know either." "I know you're trying your best, but seeing you reminds me of him too much."His eyes clouded with sadness as he took a step back. "Well, Lucy," he said softly, "If that's what you want, I can't argue. But remember, whenever you're ready to face the world again, I'm just right here for you, okay?"

His hand went into his pocket as he stood up, his face a mask of concern. "Are you sure you'll be okay by yourself here?" he asked."Hugo, why do you care so much about me? Watching people die is probably nothing new to you," I said, my voice tinged with bitterness. A flicker of pain written on his face and he replied with clenched jaw, "You don't know anything about me. Yes, Arman and I are the same people who grew up in that world. But I am not ruthless like him." I watched him walk to the door. Before he opened it, he glanced back at me and said, "I know you think I'm a bad person, but I'm still human.
