He watched her in astonishment as the soft wind played with the ends of her dress. The sun touched her skin gently, making her glow.

She looked stunning. Her hair was tied back neatly, her dress simple but graceful. There was something calm and strong about her, something that made his gaze locked on her.

Was she the same girl he had ensured to break completely? She wasn't any where near breaking.

Their eyes locked. She felt his deep stare, the confusion in it, the disbelief. It almost gave her a strange sense of power.

Edward blinked. There was something about her gaze. Hatred exuded through her eyes. He could feel it, it grazed him fiercly.

He could sense an air of pride radiating around her. There was no fear, no panic.

She stared for a second, then turned her back and walked away, like he wasn't anything important.

Something snapped inside him.

He opened the car door and stepped out slowly, eyes still locked on the direction she’d taken. His chest tightened. His mind was a mess.

    A week later, Lucille had just finished her usual afternoon tasks and was heading to her room when she spotted Georgina approaching her. So, Georgina was still living in the house?"Master calls for you," she said, her tone calm now, much softer than the harshness she usually displayed."Master?" The word annoyed Lucille. It reminded her of how low and powerless her wolf was. How less important her kind was in this world."Okay," Lucille replied, her voice steady, and followed Georgina to the sitting room where Edward was supposed to be.The moment Lucille stepped into the room, her mood darkened. Edward wasn’t alone. Two people were there. People she could hardly stand.Mabel Fletcher, the girl who humiliated her at that dreadful class party, and Mark Anderson, Edward's best friend, and her personal nightmare."You sent for me?" Lucille asked, her gaze cold and sharp as it fixed on Edward.Mabel sneered. "She still has guts!" Her eyes burned with hostility as she looked Lucille up an

    “What the heck was that?” Mark asked angrily the moment Lucille left the room.“When did she become like this?” he added, his eyebrows pulled together in confusion.Edward didn’t answer. He just let out a long breath.“She used to be quiet and easy to control,” Mark muttered, still shocked. “is this a dream?”He couldn’t believe what just happened. That was the same Lucille who used to be their puppet back in university. The same girl who used to hide just to avoid being laughed at.If she were an elite, maybe her boldness would make sense. But she wasn’t. She was just a commoner. An omega!Mark had never heard of an omega talking back to an elite before. And Lucille didn’t just talk back, she stood up to three elites all at once.Mabel was burning with anger. She cou

    Mark received the message and frowned. Cleaning? That seemed too easy. Shouldn’t the punishment be more serious? Something that would really hurt?He shrugged and said, “Alright,” before the link disconnected.He stood up from the sofa and left the sitting room to deliver Edward’s message.Back in the bedroom, Edward was still smiling.“I’m really sorry,” he whispered, gently biting Mabel’s earlobe before wrapping his arms around her.“I’ve just been so busy. You didn’t do anything wrong,” he said softly, lifting her face and looking deeply into her eyes.“I love you, Eddy. You know that,” she whispered, her voice low and full of longing.“I love you too. And I’ve missed you,” he replied, his eyes and voice both full of desire, making her

    Mabel quickly grabbed the sheets and pulled them over her naked body. Her scream made Lucille look up at the two of them on the bed.Lucille froze when she saw the fear in Mabel’s eyes. It was clear Mabel hadn’t noticed her standing there during the whole moment of pleasure.Mabel’s eyes widened in shock, locked on Lucille, who just stared back coldly, then quietly went back to cleaning.“She…” Mabel’s voice trembled as she pointed at Lucille. Her hand shook, and she couldn’t find more words.Edward had a smug smile for a second, but it disappeared fast. He put on a calm face.“What is it?” he asked gently, pretending not to understand.Mabel turned to him, stunned. Was he really asking that? “She’s here,” she whispered, still in disbelief.Edward

    Lucille came out of the bathroom, put on her dress, and walked toward the door."Where are you going?" Edward asked."That's none of your business," she snapped coldly. She opened the door and walked out without looking back.Edward slowly got out of bed and walked into the bathroom. After some time, he returned, then quickly got dressed.His eyes wandered around the room before they stopped on the bed, still messy and tangled. His gaze fell on the wet spot, the proof of what he had forced to happen.For a moment, he thought about calling Lucille back to clean it. A smirk tugged at his lips. But then his smile vanished, replaced by anger.If she didn’t even react to finding them in bed like that, would a dirty sheet be what finally broke her?His brows furrowed as he looked at the door.

    Just as Lucille expected, she was soon summoned to face Edward. She stood in the grand sitting room, her hands behind her back, wearing a calm and uncaring expression."What did you tell her?" Edward’s voice was cold, almost icy."I said a lot of things," Lucille replied flatly.Mark, clearly angered by her tone, snapped, "Do you even understand that the Tribunal gave a sentence against you?"Lucille’s eyes narrowed. "Are you part of the Tribunal? Were you even there that day?" she shot back sharply.Mark froze, stunned. His mouth fell open, unsure of what to say. "You do know you can be reported to them for going against your punishment, right?"Lucille scoffed loudly, the sound mocking. "Then what are you waiting for?"Mark’s anger deepened, but he stayed quiet, glancing at Edward, who looked tired and dr

At first, she was confused. But the more she thought about it, the more it made sense.She knew Edward well, too well. If Lucille had stormed into that room uninvited, Edward would have reacted instantly.He would have lashed out or thrown her out. But he didn’t. He stayed calm. Quiet.

    The sharp pain shot through her body again, making her cry out.Her scream echoed through the mansion. Within seconds, the door burst open. Edward and a few staff members rushed in.“What happened?” Edward asked urgently, his eyes scanning the room until they landed on Lucille, who stood alone.“Help!” The scream rang out again, this time from the bathroom.Edward and the others hurried inside. They stopped, their gazes filled with shock.Mabel was bent over the side of the tub, her bare back red and raw from the hot water. Seeing she was naked, the servants quickly turned away and stepped out, leaving Edward behind.He grabbed a towel, wrapped it around her trembling body, and gently helped her up. When he saw her foot, red, blistering, badly burned, his face became filled with fear.“What happened?” he asked again, panic in his voice. But Mabel was in too much pain to answer.Edward helped her into the room. Lucille was still there, standing calmly, unmoved.As soon as Mabel saw her
