Lucy’s POV

"I lost count," he said in a soft voice, avoiding eye contact with me. Even though he probably felt ashamed to say it in front of me, I can't tell him to stop killing people; that's his only way to make it in the underworld.

"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." My voice trailed off as I wiped

    Lucy’s POV"What about this dress?" Cecille suggested while pointing towards the high-slit emerald bodycon dress. "Thank you, it looks so nice," I told her with a smile. "This might work. Please call Alicia." She smiles and nods, "Of course. What do you want me to say to her?" "Tell her to get everything ready, like the bride's bouquets and the special video at the venue." "All right, Miss Lucy." Cecille gently shut the door, and I started getting ready for the wedding, which starts in an hour.After putting on my simple makeup and dress, I left the room with a sly grin on my face. Tonight's plans are going to be crazy, but I'm looking forward to getting even with my enemy. “Max! Let’s go.” My driver slid open the door for me and I sat in the backseat with a smile on my face. Cecille grabbed all my things also and she sat next to me. “You looked so happy today, Miss Lucy.” I answered, “Of course, it’s my cousin’s wedding day!” We arrived at the location just as the wedding

I asked so quietly that it was scarcely heard as I fastened my seat belt.I felt my heart racing so fast when his eyes met mine, and to my surprise, he lowered his head to kiss me. I tried to get away from him, but his kiss was stronger than my fear. Many things are making me worry these days, but his lips, his embrace, his smell, and everything else about him make me feel like everything will be okay. I shut my eyes and kissed him back with the same intensity. I opened my mouth and twisted my tongue around his. I felt like heaven every time he kissed me. He kissed me for so long that I could hardly catch my breath. He whispers as I gently open my eyes, "I'm proud of you..." I stared at him, my smile fading. With a deep breath, I confronted him. "I did what I believed was right... What were you doing there? You're the one who destroyed their wedding car, aren't you? It was you, wasn't it?" A proud smile spread across his face

"Yes," Arman said in a calm voice."Okay, then let's go? We probably have a lot to do tonight. Let's go..." Saying this quietly while holding his hand and trying to get him to stop fighting. Until he said, "No, I'm not done yet here, honey dovey." I tightened my lips, my heart pounding as I watched him glare at Hugo. "Don't you dare look at my wife again, Hugo. I don't want to hear a word from you." His voice was laced with anger and a hint of threat. "And don't forget, you're just your father's son. You haven't proven anything yet." Hugo didn't say anything; all he did was look at Arman with a mean look. Then Arman grabbed my hand, and we both walked away from the "It's 5:00 pm. Where do you want to go?" he asked as he looked at his watch. I gritted my teeth and muttered, "Uhm, I sti

He moves my hips back and forth and hits my body like he was not breaking me.And then he opened his mouth and sucked my breast again, leaving a mark that I know anyone could see. I held on to his shoulder while he pushed me hard, and I gasped when I felt his hot fluid inside me. I quieted my cries and asked Arman, "I'm not on the pill. What if I get pregnant?" "Yes, Lucy, that's what I want. Sow my seed in you again and again until you get pregnant."I pulled away from him, my knees were trembling in fear as I asked, “What? Are you… are you really doing this to me?” He chuckled softly and said, “You’re mine.” There was a lake outside when I got out of the car. I sighed and looked around, but no one was there. That's where I went to clean up. I let the water wash over my whole body until I felt a hand behind me. "Another time?" Arman asked as he delicately rested his hand on my shoulder and spread my legs apart

My grandmother called my name, looking like she was in a hurry to stop me from leaving. My grandmother, a woman of quick wit and sharp tongue, turned her attention to the man beside me. "Ah, Mr. Hugo Ricci, what brings you here unannounced? I was under the impression our meeting was off for today." "Mrs. Hansley, I am here to inspect the entire property," Mr. Ricci stated, his voice carrying an air of authority. "Are you selling the traditional house, grandma?" I asked my grandmother. She nodded and said, "Yeah, I need to sell it." "What for?" “For Jane.” she said. I smiled bitterly at her because she was doing her best to save Jane from getting rotten in prison.

Finally, I reached for his phone and demanded, "Who is this?" "Miss Lucy is in the hospital right now, Sir. She was poisoned!" “What?” I quickly grabbed my things and gave my lawyer his phone back. Knox asked, “What’s happening?” “Something happened to Lucy.” Then I raced outside and slammed on the brakes because I was so scared I was going to pass out from thinking about what had happened to her; my heart was racing with anxiety. Whoever dared to endanger Lucy's life should suffer the ultimate price.

According to the nurse, I had been sleeping for twenty-four hours. But this man in front of me looked so worried. I wanted to reassure him that I was okay, that I was on the path to recovery.Tears began to trickle down my cheeks as I uttered the words, "T--Thank you." I'm thankful to have him by my side, even though all of my friends, family, and even my parents have left me. Arman looked a little confused as I cried while holding his hand, but he didn't say a word. He just let me cry in his arms. Someone like him is just what I need at this very moment. He stroked my hair and the back of my head, saying, "It's okay, just cry it out. I'm here for you, Lucy."He smiled at me, sensing my distress, and asked, "Are you feeling better now?" I wiped my tears away and asked, "Where's Alicia?" "She's with Cecill

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.

"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.

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

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.

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.

    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

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

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
