The Ruthless Mafia Lord's Regret 52. Rarest Girl
Lucy’s POVEdward slowly took my finger out of his mouth, and I opened my mouth wide. He asked the waiter, "Do you have a plaster or a piece of cloth?" "Yes, sir." The waiter ran to the kitchen and came back with a plaster in his hand.Edward carefully put the plaster around my pointy finger and said, "It's okay. It's just a little cut." Despite my relief that he was such a gentleman, I found myself nervously staring at him and biting my lower lip. He told me, "Now you can finish your food."I smiled at him. And he added with a wink, "Don't play with the knife again, though..."I let out a soft laugh and said, "Thank you..." He took out a piece of tissue and wiped the edge of my lip with it. Then he whispered. "Don't bother looking at him again. He'll only ruin your day..." Then, with a grin on my face, I swallowed and kept eating till I was full. It was hard for me not to look at Arman, who was sitting at a different side table. I also tried to figure out how to stop jealousy b
The Ruthless Mafia Lord's Regret 53. Lucy, I Really Like You
Lucy’s POV"I… don't?" I realized that he was right. I do not have any friends, and I am not sure why I am here with Edward. Honestly, I don't know whether Edward considers me a friend. But I don't care anymore. What I really care about right now is why Arman would waste his time just to annoy me.And when I glanced at him, he was already staring at me. Arman crossed his front pockets with his palms as he approached, asking, "Are you serious when you say that he is your friend? Lucy, a man and a woman, can never be friends. He's doing this because he wants something from you. Right, Edward?" "Of course I don't want her to be my friend… Because I want to be more than just friends with her... because I like her," Edward answered. I gasped as he grabbed my hand. "Lucy, I really like you," he said as he looked into my eyes. Arman was a little surprised when Edward confessed directly to me. Then there was me. Who was completely confused at the same time.After Edward's honest confess
The Ruthless Mafia Lord's Regret 54. Evil Eyes
Lucy’s POV“That’s why I’m not foolish enough to give you what you want, grandma.” I replied to her question without blinking my eyes. Her anger sparked as she threw a glance towards me, “Lucy… you're going to regret this.” Grandma, so far as I can tell, I will not deeply regret anything. Even if you're going to be furious with me, it doesn't matter. I could care less..."She put out her hand to hit me, but I grabbed her wrist and told her, "I always admire you as my grandmother. But I now see that I don't want to be like you. I want no part of being an elderly woman who wanders around yapping garbage!" "You are such a shame to the family!" she said as she yanked her wrist away from me. "You barely respect me!" "Respect what? Respect isn't given; it's earned. Since then, you haven't respected me, grandma. Please know how sad I am if this is how I have to behave around you. What you are showing me is all I am reflecting on." In spite of the rain, I turned my back on her and headed
The Ruthless Mafia Lord's Regret 55. Saving Her
Lucy’s POVJasper put a piece of cloth in my mouth so I couldn't scream for help. He looked at me with a sly grin and asked, "Do you know where we're going?" I rolled my eyes at him angrily and tried to wiggle my body hard. Then he pulled over when he saw that the rope around my wrist was getting knotted. He pulled the rope tight and said, "Yes, you are mine now. You're not going anywhere, either. I will keep you with me until the end if no one finds out you're missing!" I moaned in agony as he injected something into my neck; after that, I felt a gradual loss of control and numbness throughout my body despite my best efforts to open my eyes. My heart raced with terror as I struggled to move; finally, Jasper smirked wickedly and whispered, "Sleep, princess….” ********************Arman’s POVThe rain was pouring down outside, and I held my wine glass and stared at the heavy rain from my balcony. I couldn't stop thinking about the woman who always made me feel crazy. When I saw
The Ruthless Mafia Lord's Regret 56. Take All My Pain Away
Lucy’s POVAs I looked at him, tears came up from deep inside me and ran down my face.I didn't know what to say, but he looked at me like he was going to cry. His expression spoke it all as he carefully placed me in his car and said, "I'm sorry..." He sighed as he took off his shirt and he gave it to me, “Wear this…” Meanwhile, he sat in the driver's seat, shirtless. What happened earlier was so scary that I could barely hold my hands together.Jasper almost raped me! Imagine if Arman was late. What would happen then? He glanced in my direction since I was still clutching onto his T-shirt. I haven't worn it yet because I'm still in shock. He reached out and grabbed the T-shirt, then said, "If you think what happened to you makes me sick, you're wrong. No, I'm not disgusted by you, Lucy. I hope this makes sense to you." And I breathe softly as he commanded, “Raise your hands… let me take care of you this time.” I slowly took Edward's jacket off and showed him my bare chest. His
The Ruthless Mafia Lord's Regret 57. Don't Cross The Line
Lucy’s POVHe looked at me like he didn't understand what was going on. My hand caught his attention. I held on tight. My tears fell slowly to my cheeks, and he cupped his hand around my face and softly wiped them away."I'm sorry, Lucy… I'm really sorry if I was a little late. I'm sorry for making you wait." He bowed down gently, carefully, and lovingly kissed my lips before stopping. "Lucy, we can't..." "Please...." As he placed me in the sink, he kissed the bruising on my neck tenderly and then spread his gentle kisses around my entire body. Tears were trickling down my cheek as I nervously chewed on my lower lip. “It’s alright…” he assured me while kissing me over and over again. Slowly closing my eyes, I kissed him back and told myself that maybe I could forget what had happened. Arman might be able to take away all my pain, and then everything might be okay. Then, that night, I gave him everything I had, leaving only my love for him. And when I woke up in the morning
The Ruthless Mafia Lord's Regret 58. Three Months Later
Lucy’s POVTHREE MONTHS LATER, “A fresh parcel has arrived for you, Miss Lucy. What do you want me to do with this?" My new assistant, Alicia, asked. I smiled and looked at her, saying, "Oh, give that to me. Thanks... " I was really excited to open the parcel since I thought it was my order from three days ago. However, I was taken aback when I discovered the exquisite, rare flower that had come all the way from England. “Juliet Rose?” There it was, the rarest flower in the world, right in front of me.I bit my lower lip in shock. Unexpectedly, my phone started ringing, and I picked it up without checking the name of the person calling. “Do you like it?” “E–Edward?” I honestly felt shy when Edwrad had to give one of his rarest collections. He sighed softly and asked, "Yes, do you know how beautiful Rose Juliet is?" It took fifteen years for them to get this flower breed.""Really? Why... Uhm, why did you give this flower to me? I'm sorry if this question upsets you. However,
The Ruthless Mafia Lord's Regret 59. Stalker

Just as the security guards came in, Mercedes and Camila moved back. "Banned these two from entering my flower shop," I said. "Yes, Miss Lucy." "Lucy, you can't do this to me!" Mercedes clenched her teeth. "Are you crazy? I'm still the woman who raised you. I am your mother!" I smiled and turned to face her, saying, "You are my stepmother..." Mercedes laughed in disbelief, "You are such an ungrateful bitch! I am trying to be good to you, but you're testing my patience!" "I'm sorry." I bit my lower lip and lowered my head.The guards from my security company led them outside. I sighed softly as I looked around because this tall building was about my florist boutique, and I lived on the third floor from now on. I guess no one would dare come here anymore since they were already banned. “Miss Lucy…” “Yes?” "Somebody wa

Ray said as he sat on the couch, playing with his gun.Even though it's crystal clear that I don't want her or want to see her, this woman is continuously trying to force herself on me. I let out a soft sigh and walked to the door. When I opened it, I saw her in her pajamas. Her feet were so dirty that it looked like she had run away from home and come here to see me.I asked with narrowed eyes, "What are you doing here?""H—Help me. My father wants to kill me, and you're the only person I can trust." She said it with a voice full of fear. She looked around, and as she did, her tears began to roll back into her cheeks.

The Ruthless Mafia Lord's Regret 94. Like A Sister
Lucy’s POV"Yes, Grandma." I said, lowering my head, trying not to shed tears this time. "But I guess Jane needs you the most now. She just lost her child and it must be painful for her to lose two people important in her life."Grandma sighed in remorse, her voice mixed with pain as she said, "I didn't know that we were being too considerate with Jane but not with you, my dear."I smiled. "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. My heart felt like it was wrenched a thousand times because Jane still has parents who love her truly, but I am here, feeling like a lost daughter.Aunt Cecille glanced at me as I turned my back on them; she said nothing, but the look of unfathomable guilt was written all over her face.

The Ruthless Mafia Lord's Regret 93. The Hysterical Jane
Lucy’s POV"What's wrong?" It looked like he didn't want to talk about it again. So I blocked his way and asked, "Say something." "I guess someone hired him to kill you. 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 remember another smile, one that completely captivated me. It was Arman's smile, the one that never failed to make my heart race and flutter. “Are you alright?” Hugo asked as he scanned my f

It's been hard for me to forget about him, but now I'm crying again because of him. I took a deep breath and hailed a cab. When I got inside, I saw a suspicious-looking knife and a rope. 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? You've been on my radar, Lucy...""Who are you?! What do you want from me?" I yelled in fear and then grabbed a rock to throw at him.

My heart throbbed in pain as I said, "And after this, what?! You're going to leave me again! How can you kiss me, want to make love to me, and in the end, you're still going to leave me like nothing happened between us?!""Lucy…" Silence engulfed the room as he watched my tears trace paths down my cheeks. Just as I turned to leave, a deafening crack of thunder split the sky, and a blinding bolt of lightning illuminated the downpour that drenched the place in an instant. I stumbled back, only to find myself enveloped in his warm embrace. His arms wrapped around me, and as I looked up, his gaze held me captive, and I whispered, "A-Arman..." "I'm sorry..." he
The Ruthless Mafia Lord's Regret 90. Kiss Me Back
Arman’s POV"Delayed?!" I growled angrily, my voice a rumble that sent shivers down the spines of my men lined up before me. They all lowered their heads as I barked into the phone, "What do you mean by delayed? 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. I want one of you to dig deeper into Hugo Ricci. I want a comprehensive report on him.""Yes, boss."

The Ruthless Mafia Lord's Regret 89. Say Hello To Satan
Lucy’s POV"Lucy," he said gently, drawing me back to the conversation. But I didn't know what to say to him; my mind was a tangled mess. How could I respond to his question? 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 smiled."How can you forget him if you don't want to try dating me?" he asked, suggesting a relationship.I took another soft breath and let out a nervous chuckle. "What? What are you talking about? I have already moved on and am trying to make myself happy again. See? I'm happy

Lucy’s POVHugo arrived, his gaze lingering on me as if he longed to offer comfort but held himself back. 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?" I nodded, offering a weak smile of apology as I slowly closed the door. Left alone, I sank to the floor

Lucy’s POV"Why would I kill myself just for him?" I asked him with a laugh and added, "That's not who I am." He didn't say anything; he just looked at me as if he had something on his mind that he couldn't say. I met his gaze head-on, "Hugo, I'm fine. Do yourself a favor and go home." 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. And when I care for someone, Lucy, I don't fake it. Remember that."And he left me with a hea
