Chapter 15 Like hell

Author: Ela Osaretin
Amelia stared at Lucas and asked, calmly.

“So, how do you feel about my condition?”

Lucas sat up and replied without hesitation.

“Fine. I will give you my life in exchange of the opportunity to meet with the Gifted doctor.”

There was no bluff, no hint of playfulness in his tone. He meant every word.

Amelia stared at him, noticing the steel in his expression. It was the look of someone who had already accepted the cost.

He didn’t look ill though.

Or was he good at hiding it?

Perhaps it was someon

    Sophia feigned surprise. "Isn't that Amelia? Could it be she's trying to invite Mr. Sullivan to dance? How could she be so bold? Doesn't she know Mr. Sullivan despises women who dare to covet any sort of contact with him?"Feigning anxiety, Sophia lightly tugged at Damian sleeve. "Damian, what should we do? If Amelia keeps this up, Mr. Sullivan will have her thrown out."Damian’s irritation flared, her voice, usually sweet and coy, now grated on his ears like a harsh scrape.“Ha!" Eve sneered. "If she gets thrown out, all the better, let's see how she dares to force her way into high society after that disgrace. Everyone knows Mr. Sullivan loathes physical contact, if she insists on courting ruin, she has no one to blame but herself."Damian’s brows drew together as he chided in a low voice, "Eve, don't talk nonsense."“I didn't say anything wrong!" Eve snapped back immediately. She suppressed her temper and leaned in, lowering her voice to a conspiratorial whisper. "Wouldn't it be sat

  • My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can   Chapter 369 Public humiliation

    “You will invite Mr. Sullivan to dance," Lorraine replied. "If he turns you down, you must leave the banquet immediately. But if he accepts, I'll be the one to leave."Inwardly, Lorraine was smirking. She had secured the safer, passive seat of this wager, while Amelia would have to risk walking alone into the jaws of public humiliation.Given Lucas’ cool, untouchable air, Lorraine believed there wasn't the faintest chance Amelia could win. Until now, not a single woman had coaxed Lucas onto the dance floor; every attempt had met with polite dismissal. Even Vickie, practically raised by the Sullivan family, had failed. To this day, no one had ever seen Lucas dance with anyone.“No," Amelia answered, her lips curving faintly, "Not unless you come with me. Whoever succeeds wins. But if neither of us manages it, I'll admit defeat."Lorraine hesitated, the thought of joining Amelia clearly distasteful. Yet, if she refused, Amelia wouldn't agree to the challenge. After a brief inner debate,

  • My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can   Chapter 368 Competing in

    “You silly woman!" Desmond ground out each word, his voice tight with frustration.Before he could recover, Lucas’ hands pressed even harder, forcing another grimace out of him.“That's it! No more massaging!" Desmond tried to jerk his arm back. "I'm going to find Margot, she's probably missing me." In truth, he hadn't seen Margot since arriving at the Sullivan estate. She was the perfect excuse to escape Lucas’ grip.“Yes, that's enough," Amelia said, her tone soft. "He's going to see Margot. Let's not keep him."Lucas let go without protest, but not without that faintly disdainful look that made Desmond’s blood boil.Gritting his teeth, Desmond jabbed a finger at Lucas. "I'll go see Margot first, and then I'll settle this with you later."Desmond resolved that once he saw Margot, he'd make sure she heard his side of the story.He turned to Amelia. "I'll find you later." With that, he strode off.Watching his retreat, Amelia chuckled. "He's really like a kid. It's nice to have so much

  • My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can   Chapter 367 Not a big deal

    "Not a big deal, just scraped my hand a bit." Trying to play it cool, Desmond lifted his hand, showing off the reddened knuckles.“Why'd you get into a fight?" Amelia frowned, her gaze fixed on his hand. "Did someone insult you?" She knew Desmond wasn't the type to start anything, so someone must've provoked him first.“Yeah." Desmond nodded. He didn't want her to know that the young man had badmouthed her. No point in making her upset over idiots like that.“Good for you. If someone's running their mouth, punch 'em. As long as you win, nothing else matters." Amelia gave him a light shove from behind. "Come on, let me put some ointment on your hand."Desmond, grinning like a fool, was caught off guard and nearly stumbled. "Ah! You brute! Why are you pushing me? Couldn't you just hold my hand?”“Shut it. I'm taking you to treat your hand."“Even if you are, why push me? Can't you be a little gentler?" he muttered, dramatically. "Heartless woman… If I help you again, I'll be a damn fool.

  • My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can   Chapter 366 Flattering smile

    Seeing Lucas seemingly disregard Amelia and ask for his name instead, the young man lit up inside.Lucas was going to take his side! Ha! Amelia and Desmond were finished.Suppressing his glee, he offered a toothy, flattering smile. "I'm Derrick Ortiz, the heir to the Ortiz Group."“When you called Miss Brown ‘used goods', do you have anything to back that claim?" Lucas’ eyes darkened, dangerous and razor-sharp.Derrick didn't hesitate. "Of course! She's a used-up ex-wife from the Wright family, and she's got some sugar daddy on the side. She clearly gets around, before and after marriage. Why else would the Wright cast her aside? One glance at her and you can tell, she oozes promiscuity. I've seen her type before, always flirting and seeking attention from men everywhere. She definitely showed up just to catch someone's eye." Pausing, he added, "No way she got invited on merit. Must've had her sugar daddy pull some strings. Honestly, which tasteless sap would want a woman like that, le

  • My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can   Chapter 365 The gravity

    "Grandma, this has nothing to do with repaying a debt. I genuinely have feelings for Amelia. She's the only woman I will ever love in this life," Lucas said, his tone cold but sincere.It was the first time Margot had ever heard him speak so plainly and honestly. The gravity of his words caught her off guard. This was a rare moment in Lucas’ life, one where he cast aside his usual reserve to confess his affection toward a woman.It was painfully clear that Lucas truly cared for Amelia. Cared for her enough to speak more than a few clipped words like he used to. Cared for her enough to let down his usually rigid, indifferent guard.Cared for her enough to say aloud what he usually kept hidden, especially given his usual indifference to women.Margot let out a long, quiet sigh. Her thoughts drifted to the pleading eyes of her late husband in his final moments. Despite everything, she still felt the need to try once more. "I'm not trying to force you into marrying Vickie, but when it come

    Lucas lifted the device, flicking through the images with an air of cold detachment.He was a bit satisfied by this. A bit.“The mastermind is the daughter of the Ford family?”His dark eyes flickered with a sharp dangerous glint.Pascal who was standing, nodded.“Yes, sir.”“Let’s make the Ford Gro

    Amelia blinked in surprise. She hadn't expected anyone to actually make it over a casual comment. Warmth bloomed in her chest, but it came with a touch of sadness. Her thoughts drifted to her years with the Wright family. Even when she made deliberate requests, Damian never fulfilled them, let alone

    Both women snapped their mouths shut, instantly, though tears streamed freely down their cheeks.Ransom of no ransom, the terror of potentially getting killed made them cry their eyes out.They had heard a lot of stories of kidnappers who took money and still killed the hostages. They needed an esca

    Amelia shook her head, steady and unruffled. "That's not necessary," she said, declining his help. "If we pull down the news or the trending posts now, it'll only make people suspect I have something to hide."Removing those topics would only add fuel to the fire, turning public opinion even more vi
