Lahat ng Kabanata ng A One-Night Stand With Her Ex-Husband: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

Moments later.Cynthia felt as if her head was filled with fog, her body weighed down as though a massive boulder was crushing her. She couldn't move a single inch. In a daze, she slowly opened her eyes, her throat dry and burning like fire. Struggling to form words, she croaked, "Water… water…"She faintly heard the sound of water being poured. Soon after, a pair of strong arms gently helped her up. Cynthia instinctively accepted the glass pressed into her hands and gulped the water down greedily, finally easing the dryness in her throat.Squinting slightly, she murmured, "Erica, where are we?"No response.She continued, "Well, forget it, it doesn't matter where we are. I just don't want to go home right now. If I stay there another minute, Lucien will probably come knocking again. He's a lunatic."Still, there was no reply.The hands supporting her tensed slightly. A strange feeling crept up her spine, making her unea

"Coincidence."  Saying only that one word, Lucien stepped out of the car.  Sandy followed closely behind, chuckling softly as she murmured, "Well A coincidence? I don't think so.  You haven't gone to see her in days—I almost thought you had finally given up. I knew something was off when you agreed to attend this charity gala. This isn't your style at all. Turns out, YOU. COME. HERE. FOR. HER."  As she spoke, she exited the car as well, naturally slipping her arm through Lucien's.She glanced up at him—the refined, jade-like features, the tall, impeccably built figure. Anyone would have to admit that he looked every bit the charming CEO who could make women swoon.Yet, who would have thought that a man like him would willingly become a lovesick fool for a single woman? Even she couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy at this moment.  "When did you become so

Cynthia felt as if she had been frozen in place. Her mind went completely blank, and for a moment, she found herself unable to react, let alone speak.Sandy, on the other hand, wore an exceptionally warm smile and said softly, "Cynthia, we've met twice before. Do you remember?"From the very first time she had seen Sandy, Cynthia knew this woman was different.As one of Lucien's women, Sandy was treated with a level of importance that far surpassed Jacqueline.Yet, what puzzled Cynthia the most was Sandy's attitude toward her—Lucien's infamous ex-wife. Sandy was always polite, her face ever adorned with that gentle, unshakable smile.Even now, with Lucien approaching her yet again, Sandy showed no signs of jealousy or displeasure. Instead, she had taken the initiative to greet her.This unexpected friendliness made Cynthia feel incredibly uneasy.She couldn't figure out what Sandy's true intentions were, but something deep inside told her that this kindness was nothing more than a fac

In the blink of an eye, the car came to a steady stop in front of a luxury boutique.He brought her here... to buy clothes?Cynthia thought back on the night's events. Lucien had been acting completely out of character—not only helping her out of a tight spot but also leaving Sandy behind to take her away, as if he genuinely cared about her.What exactly was he planning?But now was not the time to dwell on it. Cynthia was drenched, looking utterly disheveled. Even if he suddenly decided to show mercy and let her go, she couldn't possibly go home in this state.So, she stopped resisting and stepped out of the car, still wrapped in Lucien's jacket, and headed straight into the women's clothing store. Lucien followed closely behind her in silence.As they stepped inside, an eager sales associate immediately greeted them. Cynthia browsed through the racks, ignoring everything else, while Lucien stood at a distance, waiting quietly. His tall, commanding presence naturally drew attention,

Once again, Cynthia was forcibly shoved into the car by Lucien. Since then, she had remained eerily silent, exuding an oppressive aura of stillness.Her body trembled uncontrollably, lingering in the chilling fear of nearly being strangled to death by Lucien just moments ago. The terror he instilled in her had reached an entirely new level.At that moment, Lucien's phone suddenly rang.He answered the call, listening to the voice on the other end, and his expression grew even darker. His gaze flickered toward Cynthia, who remained motionless beside him. Then, in a deep voice, he said, "Tell her to wait. I'm coming now."As soon as the words left his lips, the car swerved sharply. The vehicle, which had been heading toward Cynthia's home, abruptly changed direction and sped toward another destination.Noticing the shift, Cynthia's eyes widened with fury. Her voice erupted in rage: "Stop the car!"Lucien shot her a sidelong glance, a smirk curling on his lips as he mocked, "I was beginn
