“She was a master of concealing her genuine emotions, while you effortlessly display yours." Lucas asserted, causing Kate to blush at his unexpected praise and tenderness.

"I simply follow my instincts, that's all." Kate replied softly, her words causing Lucas's gaze to soften as he gently brushed his thumb down her cheek.

"Following your heart can lead to heartache, you know."

"You wouldn't do that to me though. You understand the pain and betrayal that comes with it." Kate stated, causing Luc

    Kate's heart thudded wildly in her chest as she witnessed Lucas's way of punishing his offenders with her own eyes.For a moment, she forgot about her pain as she listened to the screams and cries of Wilson, and then Elizabeth. Her heart couldn't help but feel pity for them.Lucas.The man was different. He was like a grim reaper, ready to collect the life of anyone who dared to cross his path.He hadn't even looked her way when he entered the room. Lucas acted as if she didn't exist or matter to him at all, and the thought of that made her chest ache terribly.Kate closed her eyes, letting her fingers curl weakly against Ace’s arms as a chill ran down her spine at the ruthlessness of the man she had fallen in love with.And then, she remembered the words he'd said to her the other day. 'Come on, Kate. You deem that ruthless? It wasn't ruthless in the slightest. I granted them a painless death, my dear.'Back then, she had thought that was cruelty. But now that she’d seen for herself

    “Dad!" Elizabeth cried, sobbing uncontrollably from where she was being held as she watched. She turned to Lucas with red, swollen eyes. “You monster! Let him go, please."Lucas didn't even spare Elizabeth a glance and instead turned to Felix. “Take him away. Finish him off by stabbing him continuously where it hurts until he breathes no more," he announced coldly.The room fell into deeper silence as goosebumps rose on everyone's skin. Lucas's men shook their heads internally, consciously making a mental note not to cross or betray their boss. Felix nodded at Lucas and gestured for two of his comrades to help take Wilson away.As Wilson was dragged out of the room by his legs, Lucas turned his face away and looked at Elizabeth—his next target. At his gaze, Elizabeth's knees almost gave out beneath her.Just then, a tall figure stormed into the room, a black mask covering his face, hiding his handsome features but doing little to conceal the dangerous intent in his blue eyes. His ent

    Wilson's gun fired, hitting Kate's shoulder, and she gasped, her voice sharp with pain.Lucas froze, his heart skipping a beat as he watched the bullet touch her.In that moment, something inside Lucas completely snapped.Wilson stumbled back onto the floor from the impact of Matteo’s wheelchair on his leg, but he was still holding the gun. When he saw that he had missed his aim because of the push, his eyes sharpened wildly as they locked onto Kate.He raised his gun at her again, ready to finish her off. But before he could shoot, Ace stepped in front of the frozen Lucas and fired, hitting Wilson straight in the hand.“Ugh," Wilson groaned as the gun slipped from his grasp and clattered loudly against the floor. One of Lucas's men, Felix, quickly moved, picked up the gun, punched Wilson in the face, and held him down on the floor.Ace rushed to Kate's side to check if the bullet had touched her. When he saw that the bullet had slightly grazed her shoulder, he sighed in relief. "Kate

    Elizabeth pointed to one of her father's men. “Hey, you. Go search him,” she said, her eyes never leaving Lucas’s face.The man hesitated for a moment, sensing the cold aura emanating from Lucas’s body. Fear flickered in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it, remembering that they had the man’s wife with them.With that, he mustered up the courage and approached Lucas as he began to search him. He collected the gun Lucas was holding in his hand, and after searching him, he didn’t see anything else on him.Then he stepped aside and held the gun up for Elizabeth to see. “Found this, ma’am,” he said, his voice a little shaky from being near Lucas.Elizabeth glanced at the gun, then back at Lucas, a conflicting expression appearing on her face. A mix of emotions flickered in her eyes: anger, longing, and desire for the man standing before her. “What did you ever see in her?” she asked, her voice curious with a hint of desperation.“I was a better candidate than her,” Elizabeth continued

    Everyone in the room was stunned as they watched Kate slap Elizabeth. Wilson's men and Matteo blinked in surprise at the scene; they didn't expect Kate to dare slap Elizabeth in the face immediately after being untied. And not just once, but thrice!Kate didn't even consider the fact that she was surrounded by Wilson's men and people loyal to Elizabeth. ‘She was not only sharp-tongued but truly brave,’ the men thought, watching Kate with a mix of astonishment and growing respect.“What are you all standing there for?” Elizabeth shrilled. “Get her away from me!”And that's when the men finally moved and rushed towards them. They pulled Kate away from Elizabeth, while Elizabeth pointed a shaking finger at Kate. “You… you dare to slap me?”Elizabeth's eyes were red with rage as she announced, “I’m going to kill you." Then her eyes darted around the room, her gaze landing on a heavy wooden plank. She smirked evilly and moved quickly across the room to pick up the plank.Elizabeth held the

    “You speak with so much conviction,” Kate said, her voice steady. “Did Lucas himself tell you I'm a weakness to him?”“Oh, Kate,” Elizabeth drawled, a condescending smile spreading across her face. “He doesn't have to. Anyone with sense would figure out that he’s crazy about you; seeing the way he almost pulled out the satellite to search for you the last time you eloped with Matteo.”Kate’s brows pulled together. “The satellite? What do you mean by that?”"The satellite is a tool used when a powerful mafia head goes missing," Elizabeth began, explaining to Kate. “Only the Romano family has access to it, and even they don't dare use it without reason. But for you, a nobody, Lucas was willing to break the rules and activate it. He made you an exception to the rules! And because of this, my dad figured out that you’re important to Lucas. Ever since then, we have been planning how to get you and use you against him.”Kate's heart skipped a beat at the revelation in Elizabeth’s words. ‘No

    Matteo lay in the hospital bed as different thoughts crossed his mind. He stared blankly at the ceiling, wondering what had happened to Kate after he was brought to the hospital. ‘Did she get married to him already?’ he thought bitterly, then shook his head as other thoughts made their way into his

    Morning sun spilled gently into Lucas's room, and he stirred awake, feeling weight on his hand. He opened his eyes slowly, and there she was: his wife, sleeping peacefully beside him.Kate's head rested on his outstretched hand, and her breaths were soft and even in sleep. A grin spread across his

    Night had settled over the mansion, casting a dark silence over the rooms. Wilson stepped into the living room, his eyes scanning the space for any sign of his daughter. When he didn't find her, he walked into the kitchen to get a glass of water.After pouring himself a drink, he placed the cup dow

    “What about now?” Lucas asked, and when Kate cast him a confused look, he explained, “What does he mean to you now?""Umm…” Kate paused, letting his question hang in the air for a while as she collected her thoughts. ‘What does Matteo mean to her now?’Her mind drifted back to the memories she’d sh
