Riley was still looking at her hand, and Flora was reluctant to let go. She looked back at Flora, who was glaring at her so intently."Has divorce taught you any lessons, Miss Riley?"Riley corrected her stance, now facing equal footing with the woman who offended hier Even the two of them had never heard of each other, and Flora said something that violated her privacy."You should have kept your word better."Riley looked like she was holding back her emotions, her eyes looked bold, Lucius held her shoulder and Riley glanced at the hand, there was discomfort because Lucius seemed to be holding her back."Yes, because you don't get a good lesson from what you experience. You don't seem to know the pain when someone else takes someone else's property.""What do you mean?"Many people were watching them. Riley didn't want to stop her footsteps and got hooked on Flora instead. She hates being the center of attention, there are a lot of bad things she's ever gotten into when she's the ce
He was wearing an elegant suit, which he was wearing right now was a special edition made by a famous designer. The designer will be happy because the clothes they make are used by one of the great family members in this country.However, no matter what he uses, nothing can beat the figure he has hated since childhood. When they were little, he often heard sentences from his grandfather's mouth about how good Lucius was at handling things.Zayn always tries to surpass Lucius's prowess, but he always loses.When the man disappeared from the Carson family a few moments ago, Zayn felt very happy. He did everything with a smile and his body felt lighter. Only it lasted temporarily.His hair was neatly combed, his steady and confident footsteps masking his disbelief. The black door in front of him had opened, and he looked at the face of an older woman with an annoyed expression."Mother, have you told grandfather about Lucius?""Your mother has said it, but you don't care." Bella put down
With a blushing face, he walked out of the room. He hastily stepped back on his trembling legs, his eyes refusing to meet everyone. He just looked down, his footsteps quickened and from how he looked, he could tell he got passed Abriel, who witnessed what happened.As he opened the door, a man entered, blocking his footsteps.“There is a woman here. You are not good at work and just like having fun, Lucius.”His voice was so loud and what he said offended Riley, her head immediately moved on its own and she saw who could talk that badly. Is he the perfect figure?Her eyes trembled, and this man wasn't ugly even though Lucius was above her. He is pretty handsome and looks a bit like Lucius. While Riley's brain contemplated the man before her, her body was pulled backward and hit something hard, but it didn't hurt her back."You're a worthless person, Zayn."Lucius replied to Zayn's words so firmly. Riley seemed to be caught by two predators in the middle, confused, but Lucius's grip on
A sweet fragrance tickled his nose, and a slightly noisy sound was heard. Lucius smiled a little while looking at something brown in front of him. It was cold and he saw the woman before she stuck out her tongue. He gave a small smile because of that.“Gelato? You really like it?” asked Lucius. He also immediately tasted the gelato that Riley had ordered.“My dad used to bring me here when I was little and I chose you, a flavor that I really like. It hasn't changed at all since then."Riley went back to eating the gelato in her hands, they held their cones tight so the ice cream wouldn't fall.“I like this too, even though I'm not really into sweets. But the coldness of ice can't extinguish the heat of my feelings for you."Riley knew very well that this man in front of her was teasing her, showing off her deadly charm, that's why she held back and the nape of her neck felt so hot. Riley wanted to act normal, she wanted to face it calmly.“Lucius, I'm glad you enjoyed the gelato I pic
He looked at the files that had just been stepped on by some of the people he had met. Mike grinned a little, feeling like a hurricane and the tears that hit him appeared in his eyes, held back by his anger that was so extraordinary.He wanted badly for everyone involved with this to get in trouble. He shouldn't have been treated like this."You really underestimate the Anderson family... Those at the top will not always be at the top."Mike picked up his file roughly from the floor, his fingertips hit the floor, but he ignored the pain he was in.Damn it! He was unlucky, trying to return to starting his business but experienced big things. The Carson family had called in his way, he couldn't cooperate with this side because Lucius had gotten in his way.His depleted money is getting thinner because he has to pay many fines for his actions.“Lucius, you try to take whatever I have. If I take yours, it's an equal thing.” Mike muttered with a furious expression. His squeezing on the ste

Lucius immediately took his jacket, he put it on in a hurry, so he didn't realize that the tie he was using was loose and one button was broken.The car he entered went quickly and broke through a line of other cars. He didn't care if he made a little mistake on the road. He just wanted that by now, he had arrived at the woman he wanted.That information had just come to his ears.“I will burn that woman alive. How dare she act dirty like that!” Lucius snapped in the car.If only he had realized it sooner. Investors? He wanted to squeeze the face of the damn man who pretended to be an investor on the errand of Flora—the woman obsessed with him.“Until when are you going to ride like this, Irvan?!”Lucius leaned forward, scanned the street and couldn't wait to get to the hotel where Riley was with the fake investor."Sir, we will arrive soon. I will speed up the speed of the car.” As Irvan said, he stepped on the gas pedal even more and the car very nimbly passed the cars in front of t
Warm chocolate with a comforting sweetness in Riley's hands had been there long ago. She held it with blank eyes. Lucius asks Serra to come out, he wants to be with Riley. After Lucius beats up the unknowing man, he contacts Abriel to sort things out. And still in the same hotel but in a different room, he was with Riley, sitting side by side to comfort Riley. "I do not accept what he did. I'm looking for investors, not by selling my body, Lucius." Riley's eyes filled with tears as she said that, looking really hurt by what she said. She looked at the thick brown color in front of her. A gasp was heard and he smiled a little. "I know, Riley. That's not your fault, you must know her. She was the one who told him to trap you. She was a crazy woman, Riley. " Riley stared at Lucius with a surprised mouth, this was so unexpected. Some women dare to do crazy acts like this because they love a man. "I've made her pay. That woman will receive a bitter pill that will destroy her life." L
