บททั้งหมดของ The Orphan's Goddess: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

-Lucy’s POV- Nights have passed with only me in this lonely place. I may be married, but it doesn’t feel that way. I am living in Conner’s mansion, but Conner has never been home since the night after our wedding. I guess I angered him when I slapped him on the face that night. It was an initial reaction of how lowly he thinks of me. Serves him right. I gave out a sigh and shook my head. Maybe he is doing what he said he would, that we will get married, but nothing will change. I leave the house at eight in the morning and be back around six in the afternoon. This has been my routine for almost a month now. I didn’t have much to worry for Conner’s staff has always made everything ready for me. However, this very feeling made me remember the agony that I had a year ago. Conner left without a single word, again. The moment I entered the room I took off my jacket and placed it on top of the bed. I opened the glass door to the balcony and was greeted by the icy

A Taste of Your Medicine-Lucy's POV- I have been sitting on the floor for a couple of minutes now after Conner delibrately took what was preciously mine. I have always reminded myself to never give in to any sort of temptation and will offer myself solely to my husband. Well, technically Conner is my husband, but we are entirely in a different set-up. We were forced into this marraige. Love is definitely not part of our relationship. I can learn to accept the fact that I only have Conner's surname, but not his heart. However, what he did to me was beyond the line. The encounter we had was no loving making. I felt betrayed, abused and degraded. I have always felt proud of myaelf for I know I did well all throughout my existence until I met Conner. I graduated with flying colors from elementary to college. I have had awards and recognition during my internship. I eventually became the assistant director of Mark's Magazine, the top 1 magazine in Brisbane. All of that confid

-Lucy's POV-I was truly nervous. How I acted awhile ago was an entirely different level. I have never done such especially the flirting part. The thing that I was really worried about is how Conner would react and might hurt Ronald in the process. The poor thing got involved all of a sudden without a clue. Ronald placed me gently on the bed and even helped me with the pillows so that I can rest my back comfortably. He immediately went back outside to get the medicine kit. He rolled my jeans which was already smudged with blood knee high to get a clear view of my wound. He took out some wet wipes to clean my wound and got some cotton with alcohol in it. He then looked at me and said, "This will hurt a bit." I nodded and said, "It's okay. Go ahead." He tapped on my wound using the cotton. I felt a sting on my skin, but it wasn't so bad for he blew gently to ease the pain due to the alcohol on the cotton. He then placed a bandage to cover up my wound. "Thank you Ronald. It's so kin

-Lucy's POV-Just as planned, we are going to make Conner jealous. This is a risk that I willingly took without knowing if I will get a hundred percent success rate. Well, I won't lose anything if I will try and if I will find out that Conner is not into me then, I will figure out a way to move forward. I am not really into social media, but for the sake of 'the plan' I took a selfie while drinking coffee with Ronald behind me making a cup of coffee himself and captioned it with 'Rise and Shine'. Once done I posted it on my f******k account where Conner, some close friends and relatives are linked there. Not long after I finished my coffee I checked if there were comments or people who reacted to the post I made. To my surprise I already have 15 likes and 5 hearts in that short span of time and there was even a comment. The comment was from one of my close friends, Amanda. I kinda giggled when it stated 'Who is that hunk?' I'm not gonna lie, but Ronald is a real hottie. If I wasn

-Lucy's POV-I am in rage. I am so pissed that I wish to do something crazy tonight. I know I have to get back to my office to double check the delivery we did today and also on the updates coming from my trusted cashiers for today's sales and all, but I am totally not in the mood to do so. i didn't transfer from my seat since we sent Conner to his mansion. I did not even speak to him nor looked at him when he said his goodbye.I simply ignored him, but my heart tells otherwise. I was anxious to know what he truly felt for me and when I finally knew what it was my heart torn to pieces. I turned to Ronald "Take me to 'The Lounge' I'll ask Sophie to go meet me their." I was about to call Sophie when Ronald said "Madam are you okay?" I simply nodded and called Sophie. It didn't take long for her to answer the call "Hey Lucy! What's up sistah?" Sophie has always been enthusiastic and since I don't have any sibling I treat her like a real sister and so did she. "Hey! I missed
