After three years of loveless and suffocating marriage. Alice finally realizes she can't warm Lucas's heart no matter what she does. Besides, the marriage between them was just a contract. The words that he had written on the contract were very clear: "Don't ever expect anything from me, in the future if I want, you must give me a divorce without any questions and you are not allowed to conceive my baby" Alice chose to marry him because she needed money for her father's surgery. She was the one who proposed the idea of marriage in the first place, and as a result, she was the one who suffered the most. As time passed, she discovered that he was having affairs with other women, she also discovered that his first love had returned. This broke her heart and she finally decided to divorce him. She had suffered enough and it was time for her to move on with her life. But fate had a different plan for her. She discovered that she was pregnant after leaving Lucas's house. However, even though she was carrying his child, she didn't want to stay with him because of his infidelity. When Lucas found out that Alice had left and was furious. "You belong to me, I'll never let you go" He forcefully pushed her against a cold wall and punished her with a deep kiss as a way to assert his dominance over her. It was only after she left that Lucas began to comprehend the profound impact Alice had on his life. He found himself unable to imagine anyone else filling the void she had left.

James was momentarily stunned by her revelation, but he didn't hesitate."Do you want me to?" he asked, determination shining in his eyes. Even if he couldn't bring harm to her father, he vowed to ensure he faced the consequences for his actions.Milla burst into tears, releasing all the emotions she had been holding back for so long.She buried her face in James's chest and cried uncontrollably. She had never imagined she would find someone who would say such words to her, someone who was ready to do anything for her. James enveloped her in his arms and showered kisses on her hair, comforting her in the best way he could."I'm here now. You're in a safe place. I promise you, I will never let anyone lay a finger on you ever again," he whispered soothingly, his words carrying the weight of his sincerity. It was a promise he made to her, and he intended to keep it.Upon hearing his promise, Milla's emotions overwhe
"I'll walk you out,"James offered, reaching out to hold Milla's hand, but she instinctively pulled her hand away without realizing it.James felt blank as he stared at his empty hand."It's okay, I'll go by myself. You rest," Milla said with a smile before walking out. James watched her leave, his mind filled with thoughts.As her figure disappeared behind the door, he pulled his chair and sat down.His eyes landed on the food box, and he slowly reached out to touch it.She was the one who had initiated their relationship, the one who had gotten closer to him first, the one who had shown him she loved him. But why did he always feel like she wanted to keep some distance from him?"Is she your girlfriend?" James was stunned when he suddenly heard a voice.He lifted his head and saw curious eyes staring at him, waiting for his answer.It was late in the evening when James finally returned to his room.Frustration and worry gnawed at him because Milla hadn't answered his calls or messag
As she worked diligently in the kitchen, Milla poured her heart and soul into each dish, hoping that her efforts would convey her feelings for James.She couldn't wait to see the smile on his face when he tasted her cooking, knowing that every bite was infused with her affection.Before changing her clothes, she carefully packed everything. She chose a nice, simple dress because she knew James liked simple things.When she arrived at the hospital, she felt really nervous. She had called James on the way, but he didn't answer, so she figured he was probably busy with surgery, like he had mentioned the night before.Navigating through the bustling hospital corridors, she kept her eyes peeled for any sign of James. Each passing moment felt like an eternity as her anxiety mounted to see him."Can you please tell me where I can find Doctor James?" she inquired at the reception desk.The nurse at the reception looked at Milla with surprise, scanning her as if she couldn't believe what she w
This was the first time that someone showed so much care for her. James lowered his arms and wrapped them around her waist, holding her close to him.As the elevator descended, Milla could feel the tension slowly dissipating from James's body.She buried her face in his chest, relishing the warmth and comfort of his embrace. For the first time in a long while, she felt safe and cared for.When the elevator doors opened, James gently guided Milla toward the parking lot.They walked in silence, the only sound being the soft click of their footsteps against the tiled floor.Once they reached Milla's car, James helped her into the passenger seat and closed the door behind her.As he walked around to the driver's side, Milla couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt gnawing at her. She knew she had been neglecting herself, pushing her limits for the sake of work.But seeing James's concern made her realize that she needed to take better care of herself.When James got into the car and starte
After what felt like an eternity, they reached Milla's office building.James remained silent as he unbuckled his seatbelt and stepped out of the car.James quietly followed Milla into her company. Her office was on the top floor, so they took the elevator. Milla stole glances at him from time to time, noticing the tense lines on his face."I'm sorry," she whispered, moving closer to him. James looked at her, his heart beating fast as he saw her guilty expression.His expression softened, and his hand reached out to cup her face, a subconscious gesture. He didn't realize it until he felt a spark upon touching her, but it was already too late to pull his hand away."It's okay, I can wait," he softly said. Milla felt warmth in her heart, and before she realized it, she raised onto her toes and pressed her lips to his. When their lips met, both froze in surprise.The kiss lasted only a moment before Milla pulled away, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. James was momentarily stunned,
Just as Milla's order arrived, James instinctively began to set up the utensils for her.He couldn't explain why, but he found himself wiping the spoon and chopsticks clean with tissue paper before placing them neatly in Milla's bowl of noodles.Milla looked at him with a blush spreading across her face. She hadn't expected such a thoughtful gesture, and it made her feel completely content.They weren't even in a relationship yet, but James was already showing signs of being a caring husband. He was husband material."Thank you," she whispered gratefully, and James simply nodded in response.Milla hesitantly lifted the spoon and took a sip of the noodles soup. To her surprise, her eyes widened in shock—it was incredibly delicious, unlike anything she had ever tasted before."You like it?" James asked, his expression filled with curiosity."Yeah, it's delicious," Milla replied, genuinely impressed by the flavor. James couldn't help but smile at her reaction. As they ate, the atmosphere
As she approached, Milla could feel her heart pounding in her chest.She tried to compose herself, but the sight of James with another woman stirred up a storm of emotions inside her. With each step closer, her determination grew stronger.She reached them just as they were ordering food, her eyes fixed squarely on James."James," she called out, her voice laced with a mix of anger and hurt.James turned to face her, surprise flickering in his eyes as he registered her presence."Milla?" he responded, his tone uncertain.Milla ignored the woman beside him, focusing solely on James she sat down chair next to James. Then finally she turns her head to the woman.Milla shifted her focus to the woman beside James."Hi, I'm Milla, Milla Smith," she introduced herself with a proud smile, though her tone carried a sharp edge.The woman regarded Milla with curiosity before glancing at James, awaiting his response.James hesitated for a moment before speaking."Milla, this is Emily. She's a col
Suddenly, he leaned closer to her, and Milla's heart began to race.Their faces drew nearer, and her mind went blank. With just a tiny movement, their lips would meet. James's eyes unexpectedly flickered down to her lips, and Milla followed suit, her gaze fixated on his.Their proximity sent shivers down Milla's spine as she anticipated what might happen next. She held her breath, feeling the tension between them like a taut wire about to snap.Every nerve in her body was electrified with anticipation, and she could almost taste the sweet promise of their impending kiss.But just as their lips were about to meet, Milla was startled by a clicking sound, and James moved away after fastening her seatbelt.Milla turned her head away, her embarrassment evident in the reddening of her cheeks. What had she been expecting?As James started the car and drove out of the bar area, Milla stole a glance at him. His expression remained solemn as always, leaving her unsure of what he was thinking.T
On the other side, James dropped Milla off at her home.When he stopped the car in front of her house, Milla nervously glanced at James, but his gaze remained fixed straight ahead, avoiding her. Milla recognized that look – she had seen it on Lucas's face when they were together.He never used to be bothered by her presence. "Thank you so much for the ride," Milla said with a smile, but James simply nodded his head in response.Feeling awkward, Milla quickly exited the car. As soon as she stepped out, James drove away without another word.Feeling a mix of disappointment and confusion, Milla watched the car disappear down the street. She couldn't shake the feeling of discomfort that lingered in the air.Walking up to her front door, she let out a sighIt was clear that James wasn't interested in anything beyond being polite.Despite her efforts to engage with him during the ride, he remained distant.Despite her disappointment, Milla couldn't deny the spark of attraction she felt towa
