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?

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.

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.

The Ruthless Mafia Lord's Regret 64. Arman's Crazy Thoughts

Then her driver came up to us and said, "Sir, let's take her to the hospital."I nodded and picked her up to put her in the back seat. I held her head in my lap and stared at her blankly.When it came to her, all I could think about was keeping her safe and making sure she'd be okay no matter what.When we got to the hospital, my phone rang, but I didn't answer it because I was watching my wife be taken inside.The doctor said, "Wait here, Mr. Romano." “Of course.” I said calmly.

Arman’s POV"Is that the fifth time I've told you to stay away from her?! I am your boss, so you have to do what I say regardless of how you feel about it! I showed Edward the finger because he looked like he would never follow my orders. "From what I understand, you don't have the right to tell me what to do!" Edward said with a soft sneer. I grabbed his collar and pushed him against the wall, saying, "She's mine!" "REALLY?! DO YOU THINK SHE'LL CHOOSE YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN?! LOOK AT YOU NOW; YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE THE GUTS TO STAY CLOSE TO HER!" he growled back. "Shut up!" He coughed and groaned in pain in the corner as I kicked him in the gut. I was going to hurt him no matter what, but my dad stopped me and said, "Arman, that's enough!" "No, I'm not done yet," I told my dad as I looked at him.

The answer is unknown. But do you think you can win this game?” I could see the rage in her eyes as she stared at me, but then she nodded and blurted out, "I don't want you to be there at my wedding tomorrow! It's just a matter of fact! So, I hope this message is clear to you, Lucy."She then turned away from me and walked away. I laughed because I planned to attend her wedding just to upset her.

He then said those magic words, "I love you...""What?" I took a step back, but he drew me near enough to him."I love you, Lucy," he said in a gentle voice.My eyes sharpened in confusion as I asked, “What are you talking about?” “I know that it was already too late to say this. But I love you…. Do you believe me?” he asked, begging me to believe him but in fact I have confusion whether to believe him or not. I swallowed nervously because I could feel his lips on my cheek. I looked up and parted my lips to say something, but he grabbed my lips and kissed me fiercely and tenderly as he owned me. My eyes widened as he deepened the kiss until I found myself kissing him back. Then I nibbled his lower lip and pushed him away, "So, you didn't file the divorce finalization to the court?

"Just so you know, I don't judge you," I said as I walked toward the door.And he stood up to stop me, “I’m sorry…” As I lifted my eyes to meet his, I looked down at the hand that was clutching my wrist. And I said, "I'm sorry, but I think we're both ready to move on. You should file that divorce finalization in court, alright?" “How many times have I told you that I won’t give up. Lucy?” he said, his voice becoming grave again, like he was pleading with me the whole time. "Arman, I can't give you a chance. Do you know why? Because I won't even let myself get over what happened. It still bothers me, from the day my Dad died to the day I almost died—those people still living their best lives while I'm here miserable."

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.

"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.

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..."

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

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
