Semua Bab You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Lucian pursed his lips. The veins on his forehead pulsated visibly. He called out to her sternly. "Calista!"Calista froze. Her heart trembled when she saw Lucian's terrifying gaze. "Are you serious? Why the anger? I'm only joking."He clenched his teeth and said, "You're asking for trouble."No one spoke for the rest of the journey. The atmosphere in the car became heavy and tense. Jonathan was so intimidated. He slowed down the vehicle and navigated the road more cautiously.Calista leaned against the car window again. She stared blankly at the scenery at night.The car finally stopped at Everglade Manor. Calista looked at the familiar villa in an off-white color before her. She lethargically pushed open the car door. She had lived alongside Lucian within these walls for three years after marriage. It was also the very prison that had held her captive for three long years. She had hoped to be a loving couple with him in the past. But her heart was cold now. She only want

Lucian's expression remained unreadable. Evidence of cheating? Hah, such audacious thoughts! "I was just waiting here for Ms. Scott. I never intended to harm her ..." "Did you capture anything?" "No, Mrs. Northwood wanted bed photos. She said she wanted to destroy your reputation and planned to share the pictures online to ruin Ms. Scott." Lucian remained calm. But his anger started to show. The commotion attracted hotel security. When they arrived, Lucian had already released the man from his grip. "Take this person to the police station," he instructed. The security team promptly escorted the man away. Lucian called David and explained what had happened. He then instructed David to handle the situation.He turned to Lily and said, "The stalker was arrested. You can relax now." Lily raised her chin. She was not ready to let it go. "So, what about Calista? She sent someone to stalk me. She even attempted to take private photos of me and shared them online. That's illega

As night fell, Calista grabbed a taxi to Everglade Manor. She had thought of discussing matters with Lucian over the phone. However, he hadn't been answering her calls for some reason.She wasn't sure if Lucian would be in Everglade Manor. He had rarely been there in recent years. Despite three years of marriage, she never fit into his social circle. She had no choice but to wait, hoping he would eventually be there.Upon arrival, Calista looked at the villa. It was enveloped in darkness. She hesitated for a moment before deciding to go inside.She opened the door and flicked the light switch on the wall. The living room instantly flooded with bright light. And there Lucian was, relaxing on the couch with his head tilted back.Lucian furrowed his brows and raised a hand to shield his eyes. His tone was irritable as he ordered, "Turn off the lights."Calista hadn't expected him to be here. After all, Lily had gone through such a distressing experience today. Calista was prepared to

Lucian frowned. "You're overthinking it. There's a crucial upcoming project at Northwood Corporations. "The person in charge thinks highly of those with happy and harmonious families. So, if we divorce now, it might take me longer to secure the collaboration."Calista had only asked him to provoke him. Yet, his indifferent reply still stirred her heart."We got married in secret. Not many people know that we're married," Calista argued."Yes, but some people are aware. If the truth about us reaches the person in charge, then it wouldn't be worth it for me to divorce you."As Lucian explained this to Calista, he carried her to the second floor. From her vantage point, she could only see the sharp line of his jaw. It was reminiscent of when she was in bed with him at the hotel. He appeared just as cold, arrogant, and domineering.He brought her to the room, and an all too familiar sight greeted her. To everyone else, Everglade Manor was elusive and grand. But to Calista, this wa

Alcohol dripped down Lucian's face, an unusual sight given his usual grace. It was unexpected to see him in such a state. His lips formed a tight line, and his fury was palpable. Calista was not intimidated by him at all. She simply cast a glance at him and left without another word. Cade couldn't help but express his exasperation. Only Calista would dare to splash alcohol on Lucian."I pray that Ms. Everhart can outrun Lucian," Cade mumbled under his breath.Lucian caught sight of Cade, dry despite being near Calista during the incident. He retorted coldly, "I hope you lose your voice."Cade immediately fell silent. Lucian ignored him and headed straight toward Calista.Lucian was tall with extremely long legs. He moved to catch up with Calista at a leisurely pace. People instinctively lowered their heads in submission as he passed.Calista waited by the elevator. She wasn't sure if it was bad luck or her imagination, but the elevator seemed slower than usual.As she debat
