“So, Ariana, how did you and Lucian meet?” Clara asked me. She's tall, with short hair and brown, pleasing eyes. She's Jane's friend, and her boyfriend is already with the boys.

The question keeps me quiet. I don't want to tell them that we met in the auction and he bought me for 10 million dollars. That would be humiliating, and they would hate me for having no dignity. They will avoid me. Luckily, they don't know anything about my past.

The police are currently looking for them—”My hands were shaking while watching the news. His picture was shown and I knew exactly it was him. My stepbrother escaped from prison.I bit my lower lip, anxious. Thinking of any possibility that he would come back and get revenge. I should be careful. Their family knows how to play dirty games. I am the reason why he was sent to jail—exposing his criminal activities.“What’s wrong?” Lucian, half-naked, placed a glass of juice on the table and sat beside me. My eyes were stuck on the screen.What if he searches for me? He once tried to kill me. This is not happening.“What the fuck?” I heard his loud cursing as his gaze shifted to the screen, watching the news. This only happened today. That bastard always finds a way to escape from prison.“Lucian, what

    Chapter 79: Behind the Locked DoorAria’s POVIn order to uncover the truth, Lucian hired an investigator. A part of me wants to decline the help he is offering, however, this could greatly contribute to finding out the truth as soon as possible.Though I am hesitant to accept his help, doubting his involvement in my father’s death, I did. I also talked to Mr. Flint to investigate Lucian.“Any information about Lucian Montez?” I talked to Mr. Flint on the phone. I heard him sigh. Though I couldn't see him right now, I could feel his frustration. I know it wasn't easy to investigate someone's life.“Unfortunately, I didn't get any info about Mr. Montez. He seems to be quite elusive and mysterious,” he uttered. “I am surprised. Of all the people I tried to gather information about, Lucian is the only person I failed to investigate.”“I understand, thank you. But if you have further investigation about him, just tell me immediately.” I looked around the mansion, making sure no one could

If Mr. Flint was right that Mom was actually recovering on the day of her death, then something unusual really happened.I got out of the car and immediately walked inside the building. I didn't waste time and asked for the office of the head of the hospital.“Excuse me, I need to talk to the head of this hospital,” the nurse at the counter looked at me.“I’m sorry, Ma’am. Do you have an appointment?” the nurse asked me. Appointment? I don't have to appoint anything, I just need to talk to the head.“I don't… just tell him that someone wants to talk to him.” This is important, and I need to talk to him urgently.“I’m afraid I can't do that, Ms. Only those who had their appointment could see Mr. Go,” she told me. What? No! I need to see him.I heard someone clear his

How could that be possible? Why couldn't I remember anything? Is there something I didn't know? My head hurts all of a sudden. With all the strength I have. I gripped the chair so I would not fall on the floor. “I love you Aria, my daughter”“You should grow up with a good personality, okay?”“I hope we could still be together sweetheart”“Mommy loves you so much Aria.” “You’re the best thing that happened to my life. You're a miracle”I started to hear voices. I couldn't breathe. “Aria, baby. Always remember that I love you.” Tears started steaming down my cheeks. “Aria!” I looked at Lucian running towards me. I covered my mouth. It's mom. I remember her now. Lucian supported me, helped me sit on the couch. “Are you alright? What happened?” He started assessing me from head to toe. He held my face

He looks like a kid.He only furrows his brow and stares at me.“Doing what?” he innocently asked. He kept on moving closer to me. I woke up to find that he's staring at me. His face was close to mine even though he's planning to kiss me.“The bed is huge, move over,” I told him but he didn't listen. Instead, he placed his arm on my tummy.This bastard, what is wrong with him? I moved his hand and stood up from the bed.He only smiled teasingly. “Great view,” he bit his lower lip while staring at me.Jerk! You're freaking out of your mind. I went straight to the shower room and looked at myself in the mirror when I noticed I wasn't wearing my brassiere. My jaw dropped. Confused.“What? Damn it!” I couldn't remember removing it last night? That bastard!I opened the door and saw him spinning on the bed. When he saw me, he acted like he didn't do anything.“W

This way, I could have the opportunity to meet Carla.“So, you told me that Lucian is one of Mr. Flint's persons of interest in your father's death? But how is that possible? He’s helping you right now,” she uttered. I have no other option but to tell her my situation. Including the fake contract. I know she won't spill it to others. I trust her.“He is, but I wasn't sure if behind those kindness hides something,” I told her. She sighs. Even she couldn't understand my situation right now.“I really thought you were in a real relationship too. Your marriage was all over the news,” she said as she sipped her coffee.“We are not. This is all an act,” I told her seriously. She nodded her head slowly.“Did Mr. Flint tell you his new information?” she asked me, and I shook my head. He hasn't contacted me. May
