Lucas sat silently behind the wheel, staring straight ahead without blinking.
Then he blinked, and his hand reached for his phone. He pressed a quick dial button on his phone. "Investigate the girl who entered my room while staying at the hotel yesterday, don't miss a single detail!" After finishing the call, Lucas turned off his phone. He then drove his car out of the nightclub parking lot. Before long, the car slowly entered a complex of luxurious villas and stopped in front of a rather luxurious and elite villa. The car then entered the courtyard of the villa and went straight into the garage separate from the villa. The luxurious villa belonged to Lucas personally, and he didn't visit it very often. Only when he needed peace would he stay at the villa for a few days before returning to the Mansion. Since his father had a heart disease, Lucas took over his father's company. At the age of twenty-one, with his efforts, Sylvester Group became the strongest and number one company in their city. Now at the age of twenty-nine, Lucas had expanded Sylvester Group's branches internationally. To most people, Lucas was a man whose heart was hard to please. He was cold and didn't like to be approached by unfamiliar women. Although rumors said he liked men, in reality, Lucas never got close to a man. Only his assistant who was always loyal by his side, and his colleague in completing all his work. Among businessmen, Lucas was the ideal son-in-law; if one could tie family ties with him, their company's future would be guaranteed. Whatever Lucas did, his stocks always soared, making him rank first. His cold hands, like steel, could turn something into something extraordinary. Lucas entered his villa and headed straight for his bar. He took out a wine from the cabinet and poured it into a tall glass. Sitting alone at the bar, lost in thought about the petite girl from the hotel room last night. He still remembered, the girl's face was filled with fear, and she cried so sadly. She begged him to let her go, as she said she had accidentally entered the room. Lucas gulped down his wine in one go, his head throbbing as he thought about the mistake he had made. Regardless, he had to take responsibility for doing something he shouldn't have done. But, the girl's beautiful body made him lose control, and it was a shame to ignore it. Lucas's body reacted as he looked at the beautiful body, slender and full. He swallowed hard imagining Julia's body; he wanted to hold that body again. And those lips, so soft and pleasant to kiss. "Damn it!" Lucas cursed, his mind wandering lasciviously about touching Julia's body. Lucas clenched his hands tightly; he felt his body reacting just by imagining Julia's body. Lucas poured himself another glass of wine; he wanted to calm his mind. With the alcohol, he would forget the mistake he had made and wouldn't think about Julia anymore. Repeatedly, Lucas poured wine into his glass until his face turned red from the alcohol beginning to affect his body and mind. Feeling his body burning, Lucas, swaying slightly due to the alcohol, started to undress. His head felt light and dizzy, his hot body felt comforting. Unsteadily, Lucas walked towards the stairs, holding onto the railing, slowly ascending to the upper floor. His face reddened further, his open shirt revealing his athletic body. His six-pack abs looked strong, along with his broad shoulders, making his chest look broad. Lucas headed to the main bedroom on the upper floor, swaying, he opened the door. And he made sure to lock the door behind him. He then removed his shirt and casually tossed it to the bedroom floor. Next, his pants and shoes. Tossing them carelessly to the bedroom floor, now the man was only wearing minimal clothing covering his sensitive areas. With his sturdy body, he collapsed onto the bed and lazily pulled the blanket to cover his almost bare body.The next day at the office, Lucas received the investigative report from his assistant, Edward."How is it?" he asked, looking at Edward."The girl you mentioned, the guest of Mr. Bosman and mistakenly entered your room, should have entered the same room, but on the seventh floor, not the eleventh!" Edward reported from his investigation."The CCTV footage in the hotel room corridor shows that the girl was escorted by her own aunt; it seems she was sold by her aunt due to debt issues with a loan shark!" Edward continued."Then, where is she now?" Lucas asked, feeling appalled at defiling a very unfortunate girl.Truly pitiful! A cruel aunt willing to sell her own niece to settle a debt."The girl has run away!" Edward replied.Lucas was startled upon hearing his assistant's answer, feeling uneasy in his heart."Where did she run to?" Lucas asked, trying to stay calm.Wherever she runs, she will be found! Lucas thought."When investigated, it was found that the girl fled after leaving
Five years later.The airport looked as busy as ever, bustling with passengers boarding and disembarking from planes.A beautiful woman with long hair appeared elegant, just disembarked from a plane, walking gracefully while holding the hand of a handsome four-year-old boy.They both walked out of the airport."Auntie Tina said she would pick us up, Mom, why isn't she visible? Where is she!" the little boy asked the beautiful woman."Maybe she's stuck in traffic, dear. Let's wait for a moment!" the beautiful woman replied.The small fingers of the little boy held tightly to his mother's fingers.Many pairs of eyes observed them."Oh, that boy is so cute, I want to pinch his cheeks!""Mother and son are so beautiful, they are a perfect match!""Surely the woman's husband is very handsome, look at their handsome son, the father must be handsome too!"Whispers were heard as they looked at the mother and son.They seemed unperturbed by the stares and whispers discussing them.With a suitc
The luxurious car soon entered the luxurious villa complex, gradually approaching the yard of one of the rather large and lavish villas in the complex.The car stopped not far from the main door of the villa.Julia held her son tightly, staying alert.The car door was opened by the man who had ushered them into the car, wide open."Please, Madam, you and the young master have arrived at the house!" he said, extending his hand towards the villa door, politely inviting Julia to exit the car."This is not my home, you kidnappers! Take us back to the airport!" Julia exclaimed, hugging her son tightly."You kidnappers! Don't you hear what my Mom said! Take us back to the airport!" the little creature in Julia's embrace shouted."I'm sorry, young master, this is your home from now on. Your Papa will be home shortly. Please get off, sir. Rest for a while with Madam; you must be tired. Rooms have been prepared for you both to rest, young sir, and Madam!" the man explained politely.He once ag
Lucas felt like he was dreaming, unable to believe that the girl he had been searching for all this time was now in front of him.The girl who had made his days feel like a gloomy valley, always keeping him on edge for these past five years.Finally, he found the girl, and her beauty was just as he remembered it."Julia," he murmured, almost choked up, feeling so happy to see his son also thriving.The consequences of his regrettable actions were now being well cared for by the girl, even exceptionally well.The little boy was very handsome, a spitting image of himself when he was young."Who is that man, Mom!" Harry asked, gripping Julia's hand tightly.Harry felt that the man staring at his mother didn't seem like a good person, but why did he seem familiar? Like someone he knew! Harry thought, examining Lucas's face."Julia, my son... I've finally found you both!" Lucas exclaimed, stepping towards Julia and Harry."Stop right there, don't come any closer!" Julia shouted, pulling Ha
Lucas took a step towards Julia and Harry."What do you want!" Julia panicked, she didn't want the man near her.The events of five years ago were vivid in Julia's memory; she was roughly touched and dominated by the man.Julia didn't want to be touched by those hands again; she couldn't bear it.Thinking about it made Julia's face pale; her fear of Lucas was evident.Seeing Julia shaking in fear, Lucas abandoned his intention to embrace them.Clearly observing Julia's fear of being touched by him, Lucas felt guilty and conflicted."Sorry," Lucas muttered softly. "I didn't mean to scare you; I missed you, I've been looking for you all this time."Julia slowly turned to look at Lucas, who was so close to her; she could even smell his body scent.The scent was just like five years ago; Julia quickly turned away. She didn't want to smell that scent, as it caused her heart to race abruptly, feeling a sense of closeness when smelling Lucas's body scent."What do you want by kidnapping us a
Seeing the adults arguing, Harry felt the need to mediate between his parents.The cute little boy stood between Lucas and Julia."Papa, don't force Mama, you have to try harder to soften Mama's heart. She's a sensitive Mama; I often see Mama crying secretly. When I'm there, she immediately becomes cheerful and doesn't show her sadness to me!" Harry said, holding Lucas's hand.Listening to his son's explanation made Lucas feel even guiltier towards Julia.Slowly, Lucas looked at Julia, but the girl immediately turned away, refusing to meet Lucas's gaze.Lucas knelt down slowly, aligning his height with his son."Papa promises to make Mama stop crying, Papa will make both of you happy because from now on, we will be together forever," Lucas said, lovingly caressing Harry's head."Promise?" Harry asked, confirming Lucas's words."Yes, promise!" Lucas replied, nodding quickly."Great then!" Harry smiled happily."But, can Papa hug you?" Lucas asked cautiously."Mm-hmm!" Harry nodded.Luc
Julia tried to push away Lucas, who was hugging her."Let me go, release me!" she shouted, trying to break free from Lucas's embrace.She didn't want to be in contact with the man again, but they touched once more, greatly angering Julia.With all her might, Julia pushed Lucas's body, and eventually, the tall, sturdy man's body was released, but they didn't move apart from each other.Angry, Julia glared at Lucas."I don't want you to touch me, I don't like it!" Julia shouted openly with explosive anger.Lucas felt hurt hearing Julia's outburst, not liking his touch.He sighed, remembering how rough he had been when he touched Julia. For Julia, touching a man was unpleasant.He would make amends for all the mistakes he had made; now, he wanted to address something important to Julia."Fine, I won't touch you without your permission. Now, will you talk to me?" Lucas asked Julia again."Talk here!" Julia said, turning her face away. Lucas sighed again."Son, would you like to go and exp
Julia hugged Harry tightly, feeling uncomfortable as several pairs of eyes stared at the two of them without blinking.Some of those eyes looked at Julia and Harry with surprise.Here they were, brought by Lucas, to a fairly large Mansion, the luxurious home of the Lucas family.The dining room fell silent momentarily as Lucas introduced Julia and Harry.Lucas wrapped his arm around Julia's shoulder, who held their son tightly. The man could feel Julia's body tense as she observed the stares of Lucas's parents."They are my wife and son!" Lucas reaffirmed his statement."Since when do you have a girlfriend? And is this child really your son?" Mrs. Lucas questioned, looking at Julia from head to toe, not believing what her son had brought into their home.Lucas, who did not want to marry, and did not want to be introduced or set up with any woman, suddenly arrived with a woman and a young child.Naturally, this surprised the entire household, as Lucas seemed to be lying to them."Is sh
Harry was so happy to see his parents come to pick him up. The four-year-old ran toward his parents, who were standing at the school entrance. His face was beaming with happiness."Dad... Mom!" he shouted, running excitedly.Lucas crouched down, spreading his arms wide, welcoming his son who was running toward them. Harry's small body rushed into Lucas's embrace, and he wrapped his small arms around his father's neck."Dad, I'm so happy you came to pick me up!" the little boy said happily."How was school today, son?" Lucas asked, hugging his son tightly."I made a new friend, Dad. They like to be friends with me!" Harry said, telling him about his new friend."Harry! Harry! Wait!" A voice called out Harry's name loudly. A woman appeared, holding a water bottle in her hand."Thank goodness, you haven't left yet. You forgot your water bottle!" the woman said, handing Harry his water bottle."Huh!" Harry looked at the water bottle in the woman's hand in bewilderment. He felt like he had
In the car on the way to Harry's school, Julia sat silently, lost in thought. She was replaying her mother-in-law's yelling in her mind. Her thoughts were gloomy, caught in the dilemma of her marriage.An ordinary girl with no parents and no education to brag about. It was all true, what her mother-in-law had said. A poor girl who was always abused and oppressed by her aunt and cousin.She had met a super-rich CEO by chance, due to an unexpected mistake. And she had never tried to charm the man, because it was impossible for a girl like her, a lower-class girl who wasn't worthy of a glance. But unexpectedly, the rich man was captivated by her. And without realizing it, her feelings began to grow for him slowly.They ended up falling in love. And now, should she leave the love she had found? The love she had long dreamed of and felt in her life?Someone would be hurt if she left: her, her son, and her husband. Lucas had been waiting for a long time to find her. And Harry's love for his
Lisbeth was startled when someone grabbed her hand. When she saw who was holding her hand, the old woman was even more shocked."Lu... Lucas!" she muttered, her eyes wide."So this is why Mom wanted to meet my wife?" Lucas said, his face filled with anger, his gaze sharp as he looked at his mother."No... no, it's not like that. She was disrespectful to me, so I wanted to teach her a lesson, to make her know who she really is," Lisbeth said defensively.Lucas released his mother's hand, which was about to slap Julia's face."Mom, you're becoming shameless. Didn't you provoke Julia, making her talk to you like that? I heard everything you said to her!" Lucas said."I... I..." Lisbeth couldn't defend herself anymore."What is this? Mom, you value my self-worth at five billion so my wife will leave me?!" Lucas said, his voice getting sharper. He grabbed the thick envelope from the table and showed it to his mother's face.Lisbeth's face turned pale as she saw the envelope Lucas was holdi
Julia stared at the thick envelope in front of her, her gaze distant. The envelope looked so thick and solid. Five billion. Inside the envelope, her mother-in-law had neatly arranged five billion. Had she gone to the bank first before meeting me?Julia's mind raced, thinking about her mother-in-law, who had clearly planned to get rid of her from Lucas's life.Julia's eyes locked on her mother-in-law's, unblinking. Her hands were clenched tightly."What do you mean, Mom? I don't understand!" Julia said."Don't call me Mom. I'm not your Mom! Can't you hear what I said? Leave Lucas. He's my precious son. He's not worthy of you!" Lisbeth said, her voice rising.Julia swallowed hard. Her heart ached. Her mother-in-law hated her so much."I won't leave Lucas. I love him. He's the father of my son. We have to be together," Julia said after calming herself for a moment.Lisbeth's face immediately showed displeasure. Her sharp gaze pierced Julia."He's my son. I have the right to him because I
Lucas took Julia to the car showroom and let her choose the car she wanted. Julia, who was clueless about cars, didn't know what kind of model would be suitable for a woman.She saw a red car, and its color and design looked elegant and luxurious."What about that one? I like the color and shape!" Julia said, pointing to the car she wanted."Oh, a Toyota GR Supra. You have excellent taste, sweetheart! That's a great car!" Lucas said, smiling broadly. He didn't expect his wife to choose such a classy car."If it's too expensive, I don't want it. Let's get something cheaper," Julia said, following Lucas from behind.They approached the car Julia had pointed out, and Lucas carefully examined it."This is the latest model, sir. It's perfect for your wife. Your wife has excellent taste in cars!" the showroom manager said."Alright, we'll take this one. Please deliver it to this address," Lucas gave the address of the villa.Then they made the purchase.After buying the car for his wife, Lu
The next morning, Julia woke up late. It was unusual for her to oversleep, and she scrambled out of bed in a panic. But a hand pulled her back, drawing her into someone's embrace."Where are you going, sweetheart? Why are you in such a hurry?" Lucas was still in bed with her, still snuggled under the covers.Julia looked at Lucas, who was still closing his eyes, slowly opening them. Lucas's sleepy eyes met Julia's gaze."I have to take Harry to school!" Julia said."Our son already left, sweetheart. I sent the nanny to take him to school. We'll pick him up after school," Lucas said, stroking Julia's cheek."Oh, he's already gone?" Julia put her head back on the pillow.Lucas hugged Julia's waist, resting his chin on top of his wife's head."Sweetheart, we haven't had our wedding reception yet. Tell me when you want to have it," Lucas asked.Julia thought about what Lucas said."When your mom accepts me for who I am," Julia replied."Alright, I'll convince Mom that you're the best daug
Lucas felt Julia was running out of breath, so he released their kiss.The man smiled broadly, seeing his wife's flushed face, and her wet, parted lips."You're so beautiful, darling," Lucas whispered in Julia's ear, "I want to eat you!"Julia's face flushed even more, hearing Lucas's whisper, blushing with embarrassment, she pinched Lucas's arm."Ouch!" Lucas pretended to be in pain from Julia's pinch, which didn't hurt at all.Julia was instantly surprised to hear Lucas's cry of pain, it turned out that her pinch felt so painful."Sorry," Julia muttered, feeling guilty, then stroked Lucas's arm that she had just pinched.Lucas's smile widened, he was so happy, seeing Julia feeling guilty for hurting him."My darling, you're really so innocent!" Lucas said, pulling Julia into his embrace, then kissing his wife's neck.Lucas didn't expect to have a wife who was so adorable, making him love Julia even more."Let's go home, I want to continue our kiss from earlier," Lucas whispered in J
Lucas felt the atmosphere inside the car was so gloomy, he felt very uncomfortable."Darling, I'm sorry!" Lucas said, breaking the silence, he was indeed outrageous for not taking care of Julia's feelings earlier."Forgive me, I was really over the top, I felt so smart and thought you were just talking nonsense, I was stupid, I should have realized that you know more about your cousin than I do!" Lucas said again, regretfully.Julia was silent, she didn't respond to what Lucas said.Julia looked out the car window in silence, calmly observing the street scene.Lucas became increasingly uncomfortable with Julia's silence, he felt more and more uneasy.Lucas glanced at Julia, who was looking out the car window, without any intention of turning towards him.Lucas's long hand reached for Julia's hand that was on his wife's lap.Lucas grasped the small hand, and squeezed it gently."Darling!" Lucas called again.Julia still didn't respond to Lucas's call, and it made Lucas unbearable anymo
Lucas just learned about Julia always helping her aunt's finances.Edward didn't tell him about this issue, Lucas's feelings were mixed, hearing Julia's words just now."What do you mean, darling, did you work when you lived with them?" Lucas asked curiously."Yes, and it was never enough, until one day the loan shark came to collect their debt!" Julia began to explain."It's because of the high cost of living, so it takes a lot of money, plus you living with us, where did all that come from? So, Mama took the initiative to borrow money from the loan shark, and it turned out the interest was very high, Mama's debt piled up!" Gina said."Nonsense, you're a spendthrift! You always spend money lavishly, until you intend to sell me because you're tempted by the big payment!" Julia said, refuting everything Gina said."You should have been the one in that room, you've messed up my life, you've ruined my future!" Gina shouted."Oh, is that so! And don't you have the nerve to say that? You r
