"Miss Deasy... are you sure you didn't get into the wrong car?"
Lucas Orion looked confused. He had just finished attending a party at a bar when he found Deasy Winterborne, who was also his boss at the office, suddenly getting into his car without permission.
"Why are you standing there dumbfounded? Hurry up and drive. I don't know if my head is spinning like crazy!"
"But, Ma'am, I'm sure you got into the wrong car. This car ----"
"Enough, just drive. Take me straight to Park Avenue Apartments. Don't take too long, just step on the gas. My head feels like it's spinning uncontrollably. Feels like I'm on a roller coaster."
For a moment, Lucas was taken aback. He was certain that the woman leaning with her eyes closed in the passenger seat was very drunk. Otherwise, how could she mistake him, a handsome man, for an online taxi driver?
Out of concern for his boss, especially since Deasy was a woman and it was already very late, Lucas decided to take her. He didn't want anything bad to happen to her, especially considering the circumstances.
From the beginning, Lucas had no interest in attending or participating in night parties like this. Rather than clubbing, dancing, drinking, and getting drunk, he preferred spending his free time sleeping or watching cartoons.
But since Daniel Knigt was one of the top managers overseeing him, he couldn't afford to miss the party. Although driving people home wasn't difficult, it was still a hassle like this.
"Daniel, you're so unlucky! You said you loved me? And now you're married to another woman. In the past, you pretended to be scared to sleep with me. And now? You've impregnated someone else! You jerk!!! I swear, on your wedding night, you won't be able to perform!"
Lucas winced at Deasy's swearing. What would happen to a woman if she wished for something embarrassing to happen on her wedding night?
"It's terrible," Lucas said reflexively, driving his car. He shook his head at his boss's behavior, who had been rambling and occasionally cursing in an annoyed tone. She seemed hurt because her lover had just married someone else.
"Just forget about Daniel or whatever his name is. The point is, he's made me upset! It's so frustrating to date him for so long, only for him to marry someone else."
Lucas let out a long sigh. He silently prayed that the car he was driving would reach the apartment where Deasy lived. His ears were burning from hearing her non-stop ranting.
As they entered the Park Avenue Apartment complex and arrived in front of the lobby, Lucas stopped the car. He initially wanted to ask Deasy to get out and leave immediately.
However, seeing how disoriented his boss was, Lucas's compassionate side took over. With the help of an office boy, they escorted Deasy to her apartment unit.
Lucas thought that after dropping her off and making sure Deasy was comfortable in her room, everything would be fine. However, he was wrong.
After taking just two steps, a firm grip on his wrist stopped Lucas in his tracks. He turned back to see what was going on.
"Why, again? Do you need something, Ma'am?"
"Ma'am... Ma'am... when did I marry your father?"
"Ma'am, I'm Lucas, your subordinate in the office. It's only natural for me to be polite to you, just as I often do in the office."
Deasy chuckled at all the formalities that Lucas showed. While holding her heavy head from the aftereffects of alcohol, she replied to her subordinate's words.
"But, we're in the apartment now, not the office. Just call me Deasy. Besides, why do you have to rush home? You're just like Daniel, aren't you! You don't want to spend much time with me. Really, am I not interesting enough?"
God, Lucas wanted to swear. Taking Deasy to her apartment seemed like a big mistake.
Even more unsettling, drunk Deasy was getting crazier. She pulled Lucas's wrist and sat on his lap, clasping her hands together.
"Miss Deasy, what are you doing?"
"It's okay," said Deasy casually. "I just want to ask a few things that I feel are very important and serious. Do you think I'm not pretty?"
Lucas frowned deeply. He judged her looks from head to toe.
"If I look at your appearance, Miss Deasy, you're indeed beautiful. Your figure is also proportional."
"And sexy, right?"
"Yeah... not bad."
"Then, do you find me attractive or not?"
Hoping that this random conversation would end soon, Lucas nodded. He thought that by complimenting his boss's looks, he would be allowed to go home more quickly.
"Your appearance is attractive, really. I'm sure there are a lot of men out there who have a crush on you, Miss Deasy."
"That's right. That's what I said! It's Daniel who always had bad taste. How come, before breaking up with me, he said I wasn't as beautiful, sexy, and attractive as the woman who is now his wife? Too bad. When I was dating him, he was crazy about me. Have you got a new girlfriend?"
"Forget it, Miss Deasy," Lucas corrected. "But, to be honest, if you want my opinion, Miss Deasy is really beautiful. In fact, more beautiful than Mr. Daniel's wife."
Deasy smiled happily. That sentence became the beginning of a disaster for Lucas. Instead of being allowed to go home immediately, Deasy started to act up again and became even more aggressive. This time, she got up from her seat, then innocently sat on Lucas's lap while clasping her hands together.
"In fact, yes. If Daniel wants to prove whether I'm really good in bed or not, just say it, right?"
Lucas nodded.
"Yes. Then... what are you going to do?" he asked, increasingly panicked. Cold sweat even started pouring down his forehead. Moreover, Deasy was already moving erratically on his lap, just like a worm that has just been sprinkled with salt. She couldn't sit still!
"I want you to prove it. Whether I'm really good in bed or not. I'm sure tonight will keep you wide awake, just like eating chili."
Before Lucas had time to refuse Deasy's invitation, she did more. While smiling, she passionately kissed Lucas without permission or any indication. As if deliberately silencing any words that Lucas might say.
"Miss Deasy... Seriously, this is getting excessive," Lucas protested, looking horrified. His jaw dropped as he saw Deasy now standing completely naked.
Lucas is just an ordinary man. If he keeps being presented with this kind of situation, even the mighty Great Wall of China he has put up might collapse.
"Why? Are you scared? Don't have the guts? Ugh, you're so weak."
"It's not that I'm weak, Miss. I'm just worried that if things go too far, you'll be the one to regret it later. As for me, I won't be at a loss, especially when offered for free like ----"
Lucas' sentence was cut off. Without asking for permission or any signal, Deasy forcefully silenced him by kissing him passionately. She aggressively bit and sucked on his lips, as if deliberately drowning out any protests Lucas might utter.
"Miss!" Lucas protested again as he managed to break their kiss. "This is seriously going too far!"
"You complain too much. Just enjoy what I'm about to do. When invited to have fun, you should talk less."
"But, this is already too much, Miss. Besides, you're heavily intoxicated. If you were sober and in your right mind, you would never get this close to me."
"Ssstsss..." Deasy hushed him, placing her index finger on Lucas' lips. "Enough, be quiet. Just enjoy whatever I'm going to do to you. When offered pleasure, you should stop babbling."
Lucas sighed once more, resigning himself to whatever Deasy was going to do to him. He had warned her multiple times and even refused her advances before.
Then, in the next moment, the woman who held the position of a financial manager started stripping away each piece of clothing Lucas was wearing. In her drunken state, she went wild, doing things she and Lucas should never have done.
"Welcome to Japan, Sweetheart."Deasy smiled broadly as she arrived and finally set foot in Japan. As a woman from an affluent family, traveling to Japan shouldn't have been difficult for her.Throughout her life, she had traveled to several countries, both for leisure and work-related purposes.However, despite visiting many countries in Europe and Asia, she had never had the opportunity to visit Japan. It was quite ironic.Now, after harboring this desire for so long, Lucas had granted it. Turning this special trip into a birthday gift made Deasy feel even more delighted."Thank you so much, Luc. As a husband and life partner, you truly go above and beyond. If I had ten thumbs, I'd give them all to you.""With my pleasure, Honey," Lucas replied when they had arrived in Japan and were now at the hotel. "Your happiness and Jonas's are my current life goals. Whatever it takes, I'll do it to make both of you happy.""But how did you kno
"Lucas, what surprise do you actually want to give, huh?" Deasy wondered. Just from her expression, her curiosity was so evident.Since waking up, Lucas had been treating her very specially. From being accompanied to bathe, to picking out clothes for her. Cooking her favorite breakfast menu. And of course, feeding her as usual.Actually, this often happened on ordinary days. What made it extraordinary was the presence of Veronica, Darwin, and Sean who were sitting in the dining room together with them this morning to enjoy breakfast.Deasy was certainly surprised. She never expected Lucas to invite his friends so early in the morning to visit and have breakfast together. Because usually, inviting people to celebrate birthdays always happened in the evening or at night. What was even more impressive was that their friends willingly came even though it was very early and on a holiday."Well, this is one of the surprises. Inviting your close friends to have
It's already eleven o'clock at night, but Deasy still hasn't seen Lucas, who hasn't come home all day.In all her time as a wife, Deasy has never known Lucas to come home late, let alone this late. Even if he had to work overtime, Lucas had never come home later than nine in the evening. So, where is her husband tonight?Deasy has tried multiple times to contact him and send text messages, but he hasn't responded to any of her attempts. He hasn't even answered her calls.Deasy has started to wonder if Lucas is so angry that he's decided not to come home. Or perhaps he's still spending time with Devina.Oh, this is just so frustrating!Speaking of Devina, why does it feel so suffocating to imagine that Lucas might actually be with his ex-fiancée? Deasy is not okay with her husband being with another woman, whoever she may be.Because of overthinking, Deasy is getting frustrated with herself. She's been waiting for Lucas, who still hasn
Although they hadn't known each other for long, Veronica could tell that Lucas was the type of guy who didn't easily get angry. So far, from the moment he tried to win over Deasy, Veronica believed that Lucas was a gentle and caring man who truly respected women.Back then, when Deasy intentionally tried to provoke him, hurling insults and even deliberate humiliation, Lucas wasn't offended or deterred in the slightest. He remained faithful and continued to try to win over Deasy, who was as stubborn as a rock.So, if he was angry now, Veronica was sure there must have been something that Deasy had done that had crossed the line. After all, people don't get angry and sulk for no reason."Well... no, it's not just that.""Then what?""This Joseph guy initially praised me. He said I looked prettier than before. So, the two of us started chatting about various things. We even discussed how he's still not married to this day. So, I casually asked him if
"Why is your face all scrunched up like that? Another fight? World War? Or what?"Having just met Deasy, Veronica could already guess what was happening with her friend. Deasy, who had been very busy, was called and asked to join her at their favorite coffee shop."Just annoyed," Deasy replied casually. Her face looked extremely sour. It was evident that she was not in a good mood."Annoyed about what again? Did Lucas ask for permission to get married again?"Deasy immediately looked up, glared at Veronica disapprovingly. She couldn't believe her longtime friend was talking so carelessly.Oh, Deasy forgot.Veronica's behavior was quite similar to her mother's. She often spoke without thinking and lacked empathy towards others."Gosh, you love speaking so recklessly, don't you?" Deasy scolded. She was clearly annoyed. "Don't forget how you used to talk when I first got married to Darwin. Your comments were way worse, Des."Deasy
Deasy continued to observe. She watched as Lucas, engrossed in playing with Jonas, interacted with him before heading off to work.This was indeed a routine that her husband always followed. No matter how busy or tired he was, Lucas made it a point to find time to play, chat, or carry Jonas around.The same applied to how he treated Deasy. Regardless of how occupied he was, Lucas always made an effort to give her attention.This morning, after playing with Jonas, Lucas still found time to have breakfast with Deasy. Instead of being overly dramatic, when Deasy asked to be fed, Lucas readily complied with his wife's request."Luc... Are you still angry?"Deasy intentionally inquired. Since the incident where Lucas had caught her engaging in a conversation with Joseph, her husband seemed deliberately silent.Yes, Deasy was aware that what she had done was a grave mistake. However, she had apologized repeatedly.Although he continued to s
