After all, I've been through, after everything I've done for them, how could they betray me like this? I stared at her number, "Did my mother know about the deed?" I repeated, my bloodshot eyes fixed on him.He stood there with his hand tucked neatly inside his pocket, wearing a calm expression, while his secretary trembled in fear. "Does it matter if she knows?" he responded with a question."Hahahaha, you're right. It doesn't matter," I said bitterly. "It would make no sense if a daughter she hadn't seen in four years suddenly returned and got married without her consent." I stared at the number again, my body shaking with anger. "It never mattered. Again and again, I had to go through hell for their sake. I watched my life flash before my very eyes from the day I knew how to speak, all because I had parents who valued their bank account more than their child's safety." The urge to destroy the entire house washed over me again. I gritted my teeth and clutched my fist with the phone

Not until Ken walked out of the room did he breathe out in relief. He raised his head to the President and asked, trying to match Lucian's long stride, "What are we going to do?""About what?" Lucian asked, not slowing down."Mira, sir," he replied.Lucian halted and turned to him, "What do you mean? Is there a problem? Is there a problem with her?" he asked, feigning ignorance."But sir, just now... that rage, the blood... the threat to her parents, what if she...are we supposed to leave her like that?”"Ken, my boy," he called, suddenly grabbing his shoulder, "I don't need to interfere in a family's feud. I did my part to help out," he explained with an evil grin, "Then again, if she can help me put an end to the Dolman, who am I to complain," he added and resumed his walk."You're going to use her against her father?" Ken asked, that very idea is too devilish to be called a devil. Smirking, Lucian glanced at him with a cold gaze, "I don't know what you're talking about," he lied an

I marched to the west wing suite and halted for a second before a big door, looking from left to right. "This seems to be the only door in this region," I murmured, "What a show-off," I cursed and knocked, but there was no response. Seriously? As much as I would love to push the door open, I need to be careful since I'll be asking something from him. "Husband, a word, please...," I began calling out, but before I could finish, I touched the handle, and the door opened. "It wasn't locked? Well, I'm coming in," I yelled in the corridor. When I entered the room, I was astonished by how big it was for a room. Without stalling too much, I looked around for the relaxing hulk of a man. "Lucian, Lucian, where are you here?" I called, and waited for a while, but no answer came forth. I started walking up the "Wait! There is a staircase inside the room?" I questioned, shocked as I stared at the curvy stairway. Well, it was more like a step to another room, but it was still long. "Twenty steps,

Lucian didn’t know what to say as he kept staring at Mira Dolman. He remembers clearly when Nicolas told him about the ‘no intimacy’ clause he included in the contract. Although he never wanted to have any sort of physical relationship with his daughter, THE Thought of taking orders from the Dolman pissed him off so much, he had to ask him why. When Nicholas didn't say anything, He then suggested if his daughter was a virgin, but he said, ‘Of course not, but if you want to be intimate with her, you need to pay for it.’ The bastard was not just selling his daughter's future, but her body as well.He was so disgusted with him that he rejected that part of the deal, but to actually think she WAS a virgin? "That son of a bitch." He cursed under his breath and stood up from the bed, glancing at her frozen state. No wonder she was lacking in her kisses. "Well, you can't blame me. After all, it was you who came into my room, wearing almost nothing, so of course... Even if I don't have any

While the two men ate in silence, Ken returned to his desk, which was not far from Lucian's, as he was his personal secretary. However, Jake wasn't ready to let the matter rest. He wanted to know more about Lucian's new wife's issue, knowing Lucian's stubbornness when it came to discussing it."So, you were saying something about IED?" Jake probed, determined to uncover the truth.Lucian sighed, not wanting to delve into the topic. "Forget about that," he replied dismissively."If it's something that requires attention, we need to talk about it," the doctor persisted. "IED is not a joke, especially if the person has no control over it. You and everyone around them could get hurt.""I know how serious it is, Jake, but it's none of your business, nor mine, is it?" Lucian asked, his gaze cold and unwavering.The doctor quickly raised his hands in surrender. "Relax, I don't mean to pry.

After that eventful day, Lucian found himself consumed by work. There was hardly any time to sit down and relax, as impending meetings demanded his attention. He was constantly on the move, traveling between countries and companies due to an on-going project. However, after an incredibly stressful month, he was finally able to catch his breath. Returning home, he was grateful for the use of his private jet, sparing Ken from the laborious task that it would have otherwise entailed. Speaking of Ken, Lucian glanced back and noticed his secretary soundly asleep behind him. The moment they had stepped onto the jet, Ken had drifted into a deep slumber. He wasn't a bastard; he knew how to appreciate a person's hard work, and Ken had been working non-stop for the past month to make sure the campaigns and meetings were successful. He planned on giving him a proper leave in order to relax with his family. He could maybe throw in a vacation leave too, maybe. He thought and sighed out loud, "N
