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
Lucy’s POV"Well, yes. I really mean it, Lucy." Camila said.I beamed at her, "Oh, let me call the security." I walked to the front desk to call security. 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
The Ruthless Mafia Lord's Regret 60. Are You Scared?
Lucy’s POVThe sight of an unknown number pestering me made me furrow my brow. Even Edward looked annoyed that the call kept getting in the way of our lunch. He asked, "Why don't you answer that call?" "Uh, that's not important," I say with a soft breath. I tried to ignore the call, but my phone kept ringing until I gave up and said, "Excuse me." As I was ready to speak, I heard Arman's deep voice say, "Lucy..."I closed my eyes and gasped when I heard his voice. It had been a long time since I had heard it, and I missed him. I don't know why, but my heart started beating like crazy again. "How did you get my new number?" I asked to calm down. "Calling me so frequently makes no sense. You keep bugging me while I'm eating lunch. So, what's your deal with me, Arman?”"Please stay away from Edward. You already know that he's part of the crime group. Why do you keep hanging out with him? He talked to me like he had the right to tell me how to live my life.I took a deep breath and sa
The Ruthless Mafia Lord's Regret 61. Just Give Up
Lucy’s POV"No, no, no! Oh, I beg of you... please..."He cracked a wicked grin and said, "This is not enough for what Arman did to my brother!" Then he pressed the hot iron against my wrist and I screamed in pain.Then I kicked him out of the way and rolled around on the floor while still being tied and sitting in the wooden chair. I moved around so much that he kicked me several times, and the pain made it so bad I thought I couldn't breathe. He pulled my hair and untied my rope. Then he hit me in the face with a hard blow and said, "You don't know much about the man you love. What he did to my brother was much worse! Besides killing him, he abused him in a cruel and heartless way!" He threw me to the ground, took out a knife, and cut my upper back. I sent out a piercing scream, pleading for mercy, expressing my anguish, and praying for someone to save me.This is hell. “P—Please…” “Oh, you’re so pathetic, Lucy. Where’s your hero now? He can’t even find you—” I was startled
The Ruthless Mafia Lord's Regret 62. The Stubborn Arman
Lucy’s POVHe kept waiting for me night after night in the dark, clearly eager to see me. Unfortunately, my stubbornness got the best of me, and I still refuse to let him in or see him just yet. I've been home from the hospital for a week now, but Arman was still desperate to win back my trust and love.As for me, I'm just standing here at my window and looking at him without any guilt. He didn't give up. Every day, he was there waiting for me to bring him inside. I shut the window and let out a soft sigh. Then Cecille asked, "Miss Lucy, are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine." I replied with a half-smile. Another day later, I observed his black vehicle parked outside my house. "Yes, there is a car in front of my gate," I told the cops. "Please do everything you can to ask him not to park his car in front of my gate. Thanks." After calling the police, I went to the kitchen to drink a glass of milk. Cecille told me, "Miss Lucy, you have some fruits and vegetables in the fridge. Do
The Ruthless Mafia Lord's Regret 63. Heavy Heart
Lucy’s POV"Did I not say I wouldn't give up on you? I want to court you until you say yes to me and forgive me." I was frozen in my stare, unsure of how to respond. Because he was so stubborn, I closed my eyes and massaged my temple.I also find him very annoying! "Would you like me to call the police?" I took out my phone and was about to call 911. He then took a step back and said, "No, I didn't come here to bother you. Actually, I'm your VIP customer. My hotel needs all of the fresh flowers delivered tomorrow because of a big event. Are you sure you can make it tomorrow?" "Ha-ha, you're funny," I told him as I put down my phone. "Actually, Arman, my secretary will talk to you because I don't have time for your nonsense." I continued on my way, but he remained close behind. I paused and turned to face him; I nearly slammed into his chest, but thankfully, he halted. I took another step back, looked up, and asked, "Why are you following me?" He hesitated and said, "I really

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. As I stood up, I groaned in pain and tried to run as fast as I could, even

You felt sorry for him, that's why you gave him a chance! I know you still love me—"I slapped his face, my tears slowly rolling down on my cheeks. 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.

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." Then they started marching out.I stepped outside while my chest pounded angrily just thinking about the shipments. Then, my thoughts drifted back to Lucy and Hugo again.

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
The Ruthless Mafia Lord's Regret 87. You Left Me, Arman
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
