The lawyer announced, and a deep frown immediately ensued on Avelina’s face.She gazed at him with a deadly glint in her pupils, signaling to him that she shouldn’t even dare.Lucian, who understood the intention behind such a look, smirked at her and moved closer to her.He grabbed her slender hand and pulled her in, then gently held her back and stared into her gray eyes."Don’t you dare!" Avelina lip-synced, warning him not to even try it, but Lucian shrugged and kissed her gently the next moment.However, it wasn't exactly a real kiss.Per her warning, he had simply just brushed his lips against hers and stepped back away from her.Avalina flickered her eyes and looked at him in disbelief.To be honest, she didn't expect him to actually not try it when she told him not to even try it... but he did."I now pronounce you, Mr. and Mrs. Zvetch." The lawyer declared Avelina’s heart dropped to her stomach, and she shut her eyes.So this was real?She had really gotten married to someone
He chuckled, and Ileus arched his brow in confusion."What do you mean?" He asked."It’s really funny that you chose to disgrace a woman on her wedding day. Pretty petty, if I must say so." Lucian shrugged with his hands stuffed into the pocket of his pants."Disgrace?" Ileus scoffed. "It’s not a disgrace if I am telling the truth. I am simply trying to expose someone who does not deserve to be happy. She has hurt way too many people, and you will be next. Am trying to show you the kind of woman you just married, but you call it a disgrace." He half smiled, causing Lucian to shake his head in revulsion."It looks like you still love her." He suddenly spoke with a grin on his face."What?" A displeased look immediately occurred on Ileus’s face."Am I lying? If you say I am lying, then I really can’t understand why a grown man like you would want to disgrace a woman on her wedding day in front of her husband." Lucian cackled as he spoke."Though I believe you still love her, which is und
"Hmm... I don’t understand the point of your question." Lucian shrugged with a neutral glint in his eyes.Avelina gazed at him, and the anger she felt just by looking at him had her balling her hands into tight fists."I want my own room. Sharing the same room with you... that won’t happen." She declared and turned around to walk out of the room, but Lucian, however, grabbed her by the arm and pulled her back."Don’t make things difficult for the both of us." He said this to her, and his lips curled up into a smile. "We are married, and what do married people do? They sleep in the same room, not in separate rooms. That is just not good." He shook his head at her.A deep frown emerged on Avelina’s face, and anger flickered in his eyes. "I can choose whether to do that or not, and as you can see, I do not have the desire to share the same room with you!" She scoffed. Lucian chuckled softly and walked towards her.He tilted his head to one side and smiled at her. "You’re a tough woman. I
"You ungrateful child!–""You call it ungrateful?" Lucian began to laugh. "You are really funny, father. You and I both know that I am seated above you today because I am better and stronger than you will ever be. I am seated on that throne today because of my strength! and not because of you.""If you have the chance, you would want nothing more than my downfall. You have always hated me, and that hate will never change, that I never doubt, so I expect nothing from you." He took deep breaths, and with a cold look in his eyes, he turned around to leave."One more thing—" He halted and looked at his father with the edges of his eyes. "–See my wife. You better keep your filthy hands off her. I know what’s going on in your mind right now, so if you want to maintain your old head on your body, keep away from her. She is the last possession of mine that you would want to touch." He half smiled and walked away, leaving his father’s eyes twitching furiously in anger.He arrived outside the bu
"What?" Lucian fluttered his eyes at her with his brows raised in a bit of confusion. "Divorce?" He asked,"Yes. You said you would give me anything I want, right? so long as I sit beside you. Well, what I want is divorce." She stated with an indifferent expression on her face, and Lucian stood gazing at her, not even sure of what to say.He let out a soft chuckle and shook his head. "Well, never mind. You can sit wherever you want." He said to her, and Avelina rolled her eyes at him.She shifted in and sat in one of the chairs, a slight frown on her face."While you sit there, do you know what I am going to do?" Lucian asked, his lips curled into a half-smile.Avelina lifted her head to look at him and lazily raised her brow at him, showing she couldn’t care less."I will simply grab a chair and—" Lucian gripped the arm of one of the chairs closest to him and turned to look at her. "—And take a seat beside you." He dropped it beside her and sat down. "Problem solved." He smirked.‘Yo
Avelina stared at him and squinted her eyes. "A-am not hungry." She shook her head at him and turned around to leave, but Lucian pulled her back."Avelina, you haven’t eaten anything since yesterday; how can you not be hungry?" He asked, and Avelina stood still, unsure of what to say.She slowly snatched her hand from him and turned around to look at him. "Why do you care?" She inquired.Lucian gazed at her and let out a soft sigh.Care? Why does he care for her?That is something that he can't answer either.He knows deep within him that he doesn't just care for her because she is his mate, but why then? That’s what he is unable to figure out."Avelina, you are my wife. Is that not enough reason?" He asked, and Avelina furrowed her brows at him."I am not your wife." Her frown deepened. "Don’t address me like that. I hate it." She glared and turned around to leave, but a statement from Lucian made her halt."You will learn to accept it sooner or later. You can't always get what you w
[Ileus, are you okay?] None other than Rose’s voice sounded from the other side of the phone, and an annoyed look ensued on Ileus's face."What is it? What are you calling me for?!" He inquired, and Rose remained silent.[Uh... I was just wondering how you were doing. I hope my father didn’t hit you too hard?] She inquired with deep care in her voice, and Ileus brought the phone away from his ear to look at the screen.Only the heavens know how much this girl pisses him off!Does she think he loves her?How hilarious!As of the moment, he is just using her to get what he wants. When he does, she will be immediately dumped in the dump.Of course he knows how gross Roselia's character was, so why would he even like someone as delusional as she is?Avelina will always be the only woman he loves; however, he wanted to punish her for having an affair with another man. But who knew that his plan would backfire and cause him to completely lose?What pains him the most is not that she had an
Lucian complained, but Avelina, who had no intention of doing so, continued, bent on doing it until he agreed to leave the bathroom."A-Avelina!!!" He screamed her name and furiously grabbed a hold of the hose.He tied up his hair, which had loosened due to the impact of the water and drenched his clothing.He stood up from the floor with a rigid look on his face and stared down at her with displeasure in his eyes.Avelina gazed up at him and swallowed hard, actually feeling scared by his deadly gaze.He had never looked at her like that before, so it was actually making her worried."S-sorry—"She quickly proceeded to apologize, thinking that he was going to hit her, but her words halted the moment she saw him step into the bathtub.She fluttered her eyes and let out a loud gasp the moment she felt her body being grabbed and pulled onto a strong structure."W-what are you doing?" She immediately inquired, her face flushed from the sensation of his muscular body against hers."Why are
