All Chapters of Arrange Marriage With Alpha Lucus : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Lucus wakes first. In the first few seconds following the opening of his eyes, he feels content. Then, when the events of the previous night come to mind, he starts to feel overwhelmed. As tears spring to his eyes, he raises his eyes to glance at Moni. Moni, who called him in the middle of the night, and he dropped everything when he realized what the Omega was doing; Moni, whom he was treated so gently; Moni, who he's so desperately in love with and who loves him back. As if she's aware of Lucus stare, Moni shifts slightly in her sleep and tightens her hold on the Alpha. And Lucus, who has always dealt with a constant weight on his chest, one screaming at him to do better, You're never good enough and you never will be, feels that weight lessen. He's beginning to breathe clearly now. Though being in love with Moni doesn't automatically mean all of his problems will immediately cease to exist, Lucus knows that a support system as strong as his will motivate him to be the best he can

Friday evening is hectic as usual. People rush to get off work and enjoy their weekend, so the traffic is non-forgiving. Emma looks out the window to see the sky turning gray. It's going to be raining soon, and the Omega despises that. She hates being alone while the sky pours down its contents and the colors outside are nothing but black and gray. It only serves to remind her of how pathetic her life is and how she is actually a lonely married woman. A married but unwanted Omega. Her taxi stops at a coffee shop next to his building. Emma pays the taxi driver before rushing into the shop. The moment Emma steps in, her nose is attacked by the delicious smell of brewing coffee and freshly baked pastries. She looks around the luxurious space and immediately falls in love with the ambience. No wonder the coffee shop is always full of customers. However, luck is definitely on her side when the place isn't as full today, maybe due to the impending rain. Emma walks straight to the counter

The ride back to the mansion is quiet. Emma doesn’t know what to feel or think. There's this thing with Mr. Adom that her gut keeps telling her is wrong, and then there's what happened over dinner. Every time her mind tries to bring her back to the moment Lucus told his mom about getting a divorce, Emma struggles to steer her mind away. Thinking about that hurts her heart, and she doesn't want to break down in Lucus car. That will surely raise some questions since Lucus has no idea that she heard the conversation."Are you okay, Omega? You look pale?" Luchs suddenly asks, taking Omega by surprise."No, uhm. I'm just... I have a lot on my mind right now." She supplies belatedly."Listen, Omega. I’m sorry that you had to get involved in my family drama. It isn't fair to you, and..."They're my family too, Alpha. I just wish that you'd—it's just that... Nevermind, just drive. I'm really tired, and I need to sleep." Emma dismisses Lucus after that, turning her back on him and keeping her

When Emma gets to the office, she's already in a gloomy mood. She tries so hard to chase away the memories from last night and focus solely on her work as she arranges the folders that need it.Alex told her that Lucus likes to start his day with a cup of coffee, and then he'll go through a few documents that aren't really time-consuming before he gets his breakfast. All other brain-wracking and time-consuming tasks are usually reserved for after breakfast. He'll go through numerous meetings per day and make lots of important decisions. Emma always wonders how Lucus could keep up with everything.Her in-laws and her parents want her to work with Lucus and even Alex. According to them, it will make their relationship stronger. Emma really doesn't want to do it, but after knowing about Mr. Adom, she needs to.By the time Emma finishes with Lucus schedule, the man walks past Emma's desk right into his office without acknowledging her. Clearly, Lucus is still angry with what happened last

The week passes, and Sunday finally comes. It's the last day before they are supposed to go back to work.Lucus chooses to waste the day away lazing around the house doing nothing, only getting a bath at noon. Emma, on the other hand, spends the day cooking a new recipe she's been dying to try since she saw it on the internet.Emma has just finished garnishing her duck stew when the doorbell rings. She places the dish on the dining table and moves towards the door to open it.Behind the door, she receives a greeting from an unfamiliar woman. She is petite and cute, with a pair of sharp eyes defined by thick eyeliner and even sharper jaws. Emma has no idea who the woman is, but she instantly admires her outfit. She's wearing a hot pink crop top paired with a short denim skirt and a pair of fishnet tights underneath."Lucus Wait, you're not Lucus!" She corrects herself, and Emma adores how her whole presence screams confidence."Um, yeah. Lucus is actually taking a shower. I'm Emma, and
