MasukPOV 3At that moment, Lucius's body went completely rigid. He had never expected the woman he loved to react like this.She was afraid of him.Overwhelmed by shock, Lucius tried to remain calm despite Elina's screams, but everything fell apart when someone suddenly opened the door.The man stepped inside and immediately wrapped his arms around Elina.“Elina, I'm here.”Elina quickly hugged Jonathan tightly. Her body was still trembling.“Jonathan... where have you been...?” she asked in a trembling voice.Lucius truly couldn't believe he was witnessing something like this right before his eyes.Forcing himself to move closer, he wanted everything to return to normal.“Elina... it's me. Lucius.” His voice was slow and hesitant as he spoke.Elina immediately shook her head.“No. I don't know you!”Then she pulled away from his embrace and stared sharply into Jonathan's eyes, overwhelmed by panic and a terrible sense of dizziness.“Jonathan! Who is he? He's been bothering me this whole t
LuciusWith Elina in this condition, there was no way I could stay calm.I was filled with anger, and I wanted everyone who had done something terrible to the woman I loved to pay the price.That was why, the moment I came face-to-face with him, I punched him in the face.“Stay away from here. Do you think Elina would want to see you?” I shouted, shoving him until his back hit the wall.“Let her decide. You have no right to drive me away from her.”Jonathan tried to break free from me, but I managed to pin him down again.When I realized how tightly he had grabbed my hand, my eyes widened. I didn't have time to react before he managed to knock me to the ground.He immediately straddled me, gripping the collar of my shirt tightly.“Who the hell do you think you are? You're not even her boyfriend!”He tried to punch me, shouting loudly as he did so. I managed to dodge his attack and shoved him back, sending him stumbling several feet away.It was true that I wasn't approaching him as Ra
LuciusWhen I received the call telling me that Elina had been hit by a car, my body immediately froze in utter shock.For a few seconds, everything felt empty. I couldn't feel anything at all.Until I finally came back to my senses and realized that I had to go to the hospital to see Elina.I stood up from my seat.“Raven! Where are you going?!”Someone's voice rang out clearly behind me, but I ignored all their shouting.I kept running until I reached the car from my work at Aether. I drove as fast as I could toward the hospital.My heart was pounding violently. There was nothing in the world I was more worried about than Elina.“She'll be fine…”“…I'm sure of it.”I kept whispering those words to myself, but my voice trembled, and even I didn't seem to believe what I was saying.I arrived at the hospital and immediately ran inside so I could see Elina.In the hospital hallway, I saw that man standing there, his clothes covered in blood.My emotions completely exploded. I walked str
ElinaI was incredibly happy. This completely unexpected new relationship of mine was going very well.I was spending time with Lucius, and in what could only be called our butterfly era, I felt like there was nothing standing in our way.Whenever I worked with Lucius as Raven, I felt even more enthusiastic. Whenever we had free time, we would spend it together, often in his office or mine.He always removed his balaclava whenever it was just the two of us. Most importantly, we no longer had to hide our relationship.Although he was still keeping his identity a secret.I clearly understood his reasons. Having two identities like this could also increase the chances of someone targeting him.All I wanted with Lucius was for us to enjoy our time together and fill it with love.And right now, I smiled as I watched Lucius looking at a video on his tablet screen.Resting my chin on my hand, I spoke.“People would go crazy if they found out that the Raven they admire so much is actually a m
JonathanI had been waiting here for a long time, and finally, Rose walked out of the police station. When her eyes met mine, her gaze was sharp. Then she looked away, as if she hated me.I approached her and immediately grabbed her hand. “What are you planning?” I asked in a heavy voice.After all the problems she and Lora had caused, I was only now realizing how malicious and calculating they were. They were like snakes—dangerous, and there was clearly something they were planning to do.I could sense that it wasn't anything good.When I found out she had come here, I immediately came to see for myself, and she really was here.Rose forcefully pulled at her hand, trying to free herself from my grip, but she couldn't.“You ungrateful brat! If only your father were still here—”She tried to provoke me with those words. But this time, I didn't waver. I gave her a sharp, furious glare.“If my father were still here, I'm sure you would have been thrown out long ago. You and your daughter
ElinaMom urged me to go home together with Lucius. She said she had something to take care of, but I knew she was lying about that.Even after I got into Lucius’s car, I was still embarrassed by what had happened earlier. For heaven’s sake, he kept repeating my confession as if he were deliberately teasing me.“Lucius, if you mention my confession again, I swear I won’t see you anymore.” I pointed at his chest.He raised both hands, smiled, and then deliberately puffed out his chest.“All right, sweetheart. I won’t do it again.”I lowered my head, trying to calm myself after his teasing.He drove me all the way home. But even after we arrived, he acted as if he lived in this house too.My family let him stay at our house for quite a while, and all this man did was annoy me.As soon as I finished showering, I was surprised to see him already sitting on my bed. He moved his index finger, beckoning me over.I didn’t go over to him. I clicked my tongue softly and smiled.Then I sat down
ElinaThe air still felt cold after I left the doctor’s office. I still couldn’t believe what I had just heard.Maybe God had finally answered my prayers. Clenching my hands, I quickened my pace.As I walked out of the hospital, my eyes immediately caught sight of Jonathan’s car. I couldn’t hold ba
ElinaI woke up with excruciating pain in my stomach and all over my body.I was lying on the bed, and the hospital room felt so empty. Not a single person was there, not even Jonathan.A lonely feeling washed over me, and the memory of Jonathan’s back became clearer. He had left me without hesitat
ElinaThey both stood in front of me, drawing the attention of everyone in the room. They stopped their work.“Today, I will be introducing someone,” he said in a monotone voice. “Lora Moreau, who will be the new manager.”I suddenly lost focus, my eyes trembling at Jonathan’s statement.How could
Elina“What happened to you, Lora?”“Where does it hurt?” Jonathan kept asking as he held Lora’s hand.As I got closer, I could see more clearly that Lora was now leaning against Jonathan’s chest. He stroked her head in panic.“Calm down, Lora. I’m here.”Jonathan kept saying that, over and over, t
