LOGINGaia's POV.I was suffering, but couldn't even say a coherent sentence as Lysandro held my hips with a vice-like grip while thrusting forcefully like a machine. There were moments when I started to wonder if he was punishing me or himself.My tears trickled down my cheeks silently, while my ankles were hurting and swelling from scraping against the cuffs.As my body reached its limit, Lysandro finally pulled the cloth out of my mouth, and I moaned out loud uncontrollably."Lys… Please…" I tried to beg for mercy, but even as I found my voice, he thrusted so hard that I moaned from orgasm, while the rest of my body spasmed.As I couldn't say a word, Lysandro ignored my gestures and kept his eyes closed, he was still holding me aloft as he thrusted again and again.He was on his knees, holding my hips so high that only the back of my head and my neck were on the sheets. The rest of me was being held in the air, while I felt myself tightening around his jackhammer.Seeing that Lys
Gaia's POV.I actually didn't fear Lysandro's wrath. Instead, my heart found pity for him.I must have lost my mind.He was going to lock me up, but I was busy wondering if I had made a mistake.When Lysandro said he would give me a chance, I understood completely that he didn't mind me hiding my relationship with Luciano… Or maybe he did, but he calmed down after a few days had passed and decided not to punish me.That was why he decided to confirm the only thing that mattered—was I in love with Luciano?I was well aware that the trial had begun as soon as Lysandro's men threw Luciano into the basement. And somehow, I had to screw up said test on every turn with pinpoint precision, and it left Lysandro absolutely infuriated.Still, that also begged the question—an entirely new question.Why did Lysandro care so much about how I feel toward Luciano? Unless…I didn't dare to continue on that trail of thought as it was just so narcissistic.But curses, after having read so many
Lysandro's POV.Gaia.My Gaia.She was kind—I knew that.I had since spent days cleaning up Luciano's mess while I pondered about the connection between him, myself, and Gaia.Everything clicked when I realized that Gaia was that reliable E-cup girlfriend of Luciano's—the one whom I had approved of just from hearing about her.And now, the full picture became clear to me.Luciano had cheated on her because she refused to have sex with him—and it had to be with her stepsister on top of that.It was just ridiculous.She even caught them in the act, and unable to bear such betrayal, she decided to take revenge by hitting the bar and having a random one-night stand.It made perfect sense—she was a healthy adult woman and had every right to make her own choices, especially after being cheated on.What she didn't expect was the fact that she slept with me. I still don't know how she found out—did she get a peek on my wallet, or was it something else that identified me? Either
Gaia's POV.That said, wasn't it a good thing for me that there was only one machine-like house manager around the mansion?Getting out of bed, I tiptoed downstairs and snaked to the dog door in the back garden. I naturally wasn't going to crawl through it, but I was just checking if Luciano made it out.I'd always known that Luciano was an idiot, which was why I was worried if he could find the hole.Lysandro's mansion was huge, and the grounds could fit three football fields. As I hurried along amid the cool evening breeze, I kept scanning the gardens and the woods for that idiot who should be bandaged like a mummy.But I never found him.Did he make it out?Maybe he suddenly gained divine providence and grew a brain?That was when I heard a ruckus nearby and asked out loud, "Luciano? Are you alright? Did you find the hole in the wall?"No one answered, but I soon heard the sound again.It was the Victorian-era gates in the depths, clanging as it was being shut.Then I h
Gaia's POV.I almost laughed at Dio's panic but managed to catch myself just in time.So I kept my eyes closed and didn't move a muscle, insisting on playing dead no matter how he pushed and shoved.Having no choice, he carried me upstairs, rambling, "Hell, I told Lysandro long ago that he should just buy you a house and cook up a storm for you. But now you've passed out from putting up a hunger strike—what am I going to tell him? It isn't my fault. I already told him what he should be doing…"I bore with the geezer's rambling while taking in the world around me in curiosity.Everything seemed so cold—Lysandro's cold nature simply drowned out these machine-like people who all had their opinions on things.Putting me on the bed in a very spacious room, Dio was still grumbling as he called the family doctor. "Yes, Tiff, you need to get here soon. No, it's not yet another casualty… Hmm, I guess he's just in love. I don't know how long it'll last, but she matters to him. So get here
Gaia's POV.Was Luciano really trying to show how romantic he was? Now, of all times?If anything, I thought that he had lost his mind.However, I wasn't interested in arguing as I calmly said, "My plan only affords one of us to escape. So shut up and listen to what I say if you want to live."I had decided to see this through—Lysandro was clearly still furious, and I couldn't imagine how badly he would hurt Luciano if he were to see me bandage him so meticulously.As it was out of humanitarian reasons that I treated Luciano, I had to play god and resolve the issue at its roots after watching his tragic state for three hours.Helping Luciano to his feet and taking the black hood off his face, I told him, "Find a safe place and lay low for a while. You'll be safe when Lysandro calms down."Pausing, I then added, "I have ways to calm him down too."This chaos was a result of my mistakes, and I swore that I would make it right.However, Luciano's expression appeared pain, his bru
Lysandro's POVI was waiting for the red light.They were planning to discuss the stem cell anti-cancer agent party at the Angel Heart club tonight.As the biggest investor in the project and the one person who had the money to fund the development and market it, those fossils naturally wanted me
Gaia's POVI didn't know that Luciano had the balls, as he had never forced anything against my will before.My mind went blank when his lips touched mine, and my entire body was so overcome by shock that I couldn't even think straight enough to push him away.Just as I stiffened, I found myself
My eyes were wide with shock and disbelief.If he thought we had yet to break up, he had even less business here to tell me such things.I was now really curious about what he was thinking, or if his brain functioned like a normal person's at all.Luciano was still frowning as if hurting. "Gaia,
Clearing my name, reclaiming my patent?And Lysandro could help me with both?I was well aware that Catello wouldn't have thought of this himself. If Lysandro said nothing, the man would only provide money and nothing else.In other words, Lysandro's orders for Catello to either make me take the
