"How is it? Good?" Lucas asked.Coco nodded. She had had cocktails in small bars before, but it felt completely different from those that were served here."It's so much better than what I've had before," Coco exclaimed."If you like, we'll order a couple more later," Lucas said. "Can I have the same as yours?" Coco asked. The signature cocktail had a beautiful color, and it was delicious."This signature cocktail?" Lucas arched an eyebrow. "I'm afraid it might be too strong for you.""I'm a pretty good drinker," Coco said. "Really? Alright, then," as he spoke, he called the waiter and ordered another glass of signature cocktail like his.Lucas and Coco were drinking and casually chatting. With the alcohol-induced courage, Coco began to open up a little more and got comfortable with Lucas.While they were talking, Coco suddenly heard a sultry and suggestive voice calling out to Lucas."How about you buy me a drink?" said the voice.Coco looked up to find a woman in a littl

Coco was still a little too stunned to react. The woman's approach had started like a normal conversation, but it had gradually become something dangerous.Coco was just watching, but her heart was racing. She was so scared that her palms were hot and sweaty. Lucas seemed so cold and ruthless earlier. Every movement of his screamed danger. She thought he would break the woman's hand with the glass in his hand at any time. "Why? Scared?" A low voice rang, bringing Coco back to her senses. Lucas seemed normal again. It was as if what she had witnessed was just an illusion. "Kinda," Coco told him honestly. "You were like a completely different person.""I don't like women touching me," Lucas declared, a hint of disgust in his expression.Coco frowned and wondered about her future with him."But I'll make an exception for you," Lucas abruptly said. It was like he was reading her mind. "You're my girlfriend now. It would be weird without any touching. Besides, holding hands and hugg

Coco quickly pulled out her phone and dialed the emergency service.Thud! Thud! Thud! The sound of the men kicking at the door became louder and stronger. It sounded like the door would break at any moment.Coco could hear the men's rough growl from the other side. "Open the door, you damned woman! You think you can hide?!""I'm going to let you have a taste of your own medicine. We're going to break your limbs. You won't be able to run!"The call finally connected. When Coco heard the call operator speaking, she quickly explained her situation.The men outside raised their voices, shouting and screaming. "What? Are you calling the police?! It's useless! We'll break the door open before they even reach here!"The men were arrogant and ruthless. They continued to threaten her as she spoke to the call operator.The men continue kicking the door. Coco heard a crack, and she feared that the door would break open within seconds. Coco looked around, desperate. Even if she made the p

For a moment, Coco just stood there, staring blankly. Did Lucas beat them up? But he was alone. Could he really fight them by himself?"A-Are you hurt?!" she asked sharply."They can't hurt me," Lucas said with a grunt. "Well, let's get outta here."Lucas took a few steps forward, only to find Coco standing in place. He turned around to look at her. "What's wrong?" Taking a deep breath, she curled her fists on the side to gather her strength. "I-I feel a little weak. I'll walk a little slower," she explained.Coco tried to move, but her legs went weak. She almost fell to the ground. Lucas jumped forward to catch Coco as she stumbled back and picked her up in his arms."Hey!" She gasped in surprise. "A-Are you going to carry me?""What else are you going to do? If I let you walk on your own, you'll take forever."While on the way out, Coco felt many people staring at her. She would have been dying of embarrassment in normal circumstances, but not this time. She was still shell-

"What if they cause trouble again?" the staff asked."They won't unless they intend to be kicked out of Solaria!" Esparza told his staff in a gruff voice. Esparza would not spare these people for making a mess in his bar anyway. Whether Lucas would punish them or not was another story. Meanwhile, outside the bar. "I'll take you home now," Lucas said. Coco trembled in his arms as he carried her into the car and put her into the passenger seat. Coco sat in the car, still in a daze. After a short silence, she gave a small nod, answering Lucas.Lucas said nothing at her reaction. He drove the car toward Coco's home in silence.It was a quiet ride. Coco kept her head down the whole time, her mind replaying other, older memories. How the men had kicked the restroom door earlier reminded her of the time she had gotten constantly bullied in university.Many people in the school believed Loke's words and assumed she was manipulative and scheming. Once, she had been locked in the restroo

Coco hesitated for a moment, then decided to step into the elevator. Lucas followed and helped her to press the floor button.When the door shut before her, Coco suddenly stiffened, her face growing pale again."C-Can I hold your hand?" Coco whispered, barely managing her anxiety. She really needed to feel some warmth with her and to block her thoughts of the fear from the incident earlier.Looking back at Coco, he could see the color had drained from her face and the tears forming in her eyes. There was also fear and yearning in her eyes.What was she hoping for? Was she longing to hold his hand?Ever since falling in love with Serenity, Lucas had been uncomfortable with other women's touch, including Coco's. He would only touch Coco to put on an act in front of Serenity.No one was watching them now. He had no reason to act, and he could simply reject her. Still, this fear and longing in her eyes reminded him of himself. When he was younger, he must have felt the same when he a

Lucas thought it was rare to find someone like Coco, and her answer made him laugh. Was she that kind? Or just stupid? "I'll get you some warm water. It'll help ease your mind," Lucas said and stood up."I'll do it myself," she hurriedly said."Have a seat. You're still shaking. You might end up spilling all the water in your current state," Lucas said.Coco glanced down and saw the trembling of her fingers. She saw the way her hands were still shaking and stopped insisting.Lucas went to the kitchen to grab a glass of warm water. Meanwhile, Coco plopped onto the sofa and forced a smile on her face.She thought she had recovered from the nightmares of her university days, but she never realized it lingered in the back of her mind the whole time. One similar situation was all it took to bring out all the shadows from the past.Coco stared blankly at her left hand. She was desperate and scared, but the moment she held his hand, everything went away. He saved her and kept the desp

Coco thought she would have a hard time sleeping after the shocking incident in the restroom. Instead, she slept through the night. She only woke up in the morning to her studio assistant's phone call The assistant could not find Coco in the studio and thought something had happened to her. It turned out Coco had just overslept. After the call, Coco quickly rose from her bed and got ready for work.She remembered going into the house holding Lucas' hand tightly. Lucas said he would get her a glass of warm water, so she had waited in the living room.Coco thought she had probably fallen asleep while waiting on the sofa. Did Lucas carry her to bed?

It had helped her to sleep

"Just do as I say! I'm on my way now. We'll talk later!" Minnie urged, panic in her voice. Coco dropped everything and told her assistant to go home. Before leaving, she shut down her computer and locked the studio door. While heading to the main entrance of the building, she saw a group of people stopped by the guards. The people were either holding cameras or microphones. In the crowd noise, she heard someone talking about Studio Alice and her name. Were these people after her? Coco thought, momentarily dumbfounded.Coco quickly turned away and got to the side entrance. Not long after she exited the building, she heard the people shouting her name from behind. The people followed her and surrounded her."You must be Alice Souza. Is that your pen name? Is your real name Coco Souza? The author of 'I See You'? I heard you were a bully victim in school. Is that true?" Coco came face-to-face with a crowd of reporters and stiffened at the series of questions."I heard you were bulli
