Four months into Lucia and Eryk's relationship, it was as if Lucia had a place to lean on and share all her worries. She felt that Eryk was an angel sent by God to guide her as she stumbled through her rocky life.

That night, Eryk drove Lucia home after they visited Henry in the hospital.

"Do you know, Eryk, I feel so happy to see you?" Lucia said as she took off her seat belt. The girl smiled, but Eryk only returned her smile with thinning lips.

The man looked at the luxurious mansion in front of him. The yard looked unkempt. Wild grass grew along the ground.

"Why is your house so dark? Who do you live with?" Still holding on to the steering wheel, the man was now more openly showing his curious gesture about something inside the building.

"I live alone, Eryk. My mother and sister chose to leave me and my father." Lucia replied, flashing a wounded smile.

The girl stared at her house, which used to be the most comfortable place to rest. But it was the opposite of what it is

  • Not a Sugar Daddy Mistress   56. Lucia's face on tabloid cover

    A headache greeted Lucia that morning. The extreme nausea also tormented her, causing her hands to press too hard on her stomach. The nausea that was originally lodged in the solar plexus began to rise to the esophagus, so the girl intended to vomit the contents of her stomach right then and there. Lucia held on to the closet in a crouching position with one hand, while the other held her hair back to prevent vomit. Instead of liquid, only wind came out of Lucia's mouth. Nevertheless, her nausea did not diminish in the slightest. Lucia returned to her room in a daze with a pounding headache. She even clung to the walls on her way to the bed where she lay. The ringing of her cell phone on the nightstand caught her attention. She reached for the flat object to see the ID on the screen."Ruth?" murmured Lucia, squinting her eyes when she saw her best friend's name on the screen. The girl sat on the edge of the bed and picked up her best friend's phone. "Lucia," Ruth greeted her wit

  • Not a Sugar Daddy Mistress   55. Avenging Velarie

    That afternoon a red-haired woman was waiting for someone's arrival on a cafe bench. It had been half an hour since she came to the place, but the man she was waiting for had not shown his nose. Nora Dawn raised the sleeves of the maroon knit sweater she was wearing to look at the clock on her wrist. It was 16:45 from the time she had agreed to meet Eryk this morning. "Huh, looks like Fortuna is not on my side." Nora sighed as she tapped her journal on the table. She was already too bored to wait for more than half an hour. Her hopes seemed to be dashed right then and there.The woman began to glance at the cappuccino she ordered. Her lips smiled bitterly as they touched the surface of the glass cup, even the hot drink she had originally ordered was very cold now. She decided to take a sip of the cooling cappuccino. Without any prompting, a handsome man with blue-painted hair sat down in the chair across from her table. "Sorry for making you wait so long," Eryk said with a smile.

  • Not a Sugar Daddy Mistress   54.Opportunity to separate Lucia and Kent

    From 20 meters away from Lucia's house, Eryk stopped the car and began to observe the condition of the girl's house. "Aargh!" Eryk growled loudly as he hit the steering wheel when he saw his father's black metallic car parked in Lucia's yard. Just as Kent had said in front of Velarie's grave, the evidence that Kent was in a relationship with the girl was looking more and more real now.Not long after, a middle-aged man and a young girl came out of the house. Kent was seen kissing Lucia's forehead for a long time before the man finally left the girl that morning. A sight that made Eryk's chest feel tight.Not wanting to let things go, Eryk took a picture of Lucia's time with Kent using his cell phone camera. The picture would play an important role in separating the two lovebirds of different generations, with the headline: The CEO and his only son's relationship is strained by the presence of this figure.Soon Lucia's face will be exposed in various media which makes her depressed,

  • Not a Sugar Daddy Mistress   53. Following Eryk

    Three weeks after Henry's death, Lucia's condition was getting better. However, sometimes a feeling of tightness hit her chest when memories of Henry came back to mind. The girl was awakened from her sleep when the alarm clock on the nightstand rang, disturbing her hearing. Lucia quickly grabbed the thing that kept calling her and turned it off, not wanting it to disturb the sleeping Kent. The girl shuffled quietly off the bed so as not to wake Kent and went into the bathroom to clean herself up. After taking a shower, Lucia looked for a work uniform to wrap her body around.Kent secretly looked at Lucia's sensual body and turned her back to him while getting dressed. Both corners of his lips twitch to hold back a smile, the sight before him tempting him to return to hot activities like last night. When Lucia put on Fragrant Potion's cleaning service uniform, Kent's eyebrows immediately knitted in confusion. "Why are you wearing that uniform?" asked Kent in a pulmonary voice that

  • Not a Sugar Daddy Mistress   52. Unconsciously used as an outlet

    Lucia hugged her legs together and rested her head on her knees, a position she had become accustomed to over the past few days. The girl had lost the desire to even do the things she loved. The ringing of the cell phone sitting on the table caught her attention. The girl took a deep breath to correct her tone to the person on the other side of the line. "Hello, Kent?" greeted Lucia with a cheerful intonation, even though it was a complete contradiction to her heart that was covered in a fog of sorrow. "Hello, Honey. Have you eaten tonight?" came the sound of sheets of paper from the other end. Lucia guessed that Kent was still busy with his work at the moment. Lucia took a deep breath and looked down at the parcel of food Kent had ordered for her two hours ago. But the girl scowled at the food on the table, as if it had done her wrong. "I haven't eaten yet." the girl's cheerful tone now turned rude. Making the man on the other side of the line pull out his cell phone to check th

  • Not a Sugar Daddy Mistress   51. Not the attitude of a real man

    Eryk shuffled his way to his currently parked car. The pain from Kent's beating was all over his body, but that was not what made him feel fragile at the moment. The tightness in his chest was because he felt that his father had betrayed his late mother. Because at the moment Velarie breathed her last, Eryk was a witness to the promise Kent had made; not to fall in love with another woman if death separated them.A deep red graced Eryk's handsome face as tears rolled down his cheeks. The man started the engine and drove the car with difficulty to the main road. The image of Velarie's soothing smile lingered in his mind. Instantly, the tightness in his chest increased. Eryk's tears fell even harder. He cursed Lucia for poisoning his father's mind so that Kent could easily fall in love with a girl he hadn't known for so long."What did you do to make that bastard break his promise to you, Mother," Eryk muttered and then growled afterward. He hated his current state, which seemed helple
