Chapter 4 The Lucas Family

Bayu decided to leave the two people who, in his opinion, needed to be alone. Naya kept her eyes closed to calm her fears, while Lucas held back his emotions as Naya gripped his hand tightly.

"I'm scared... I'm scared... I'm scared," Naya muttered as if reciting a mantra.

"Stupid woman! What is she afraid of?" Lucas cursed irritably.

The man immediately pulled his hand away from Naya's grip, and at that moment, Naya's eyes opened quickly.

"I'm sick of your behavior!"

Lucas stood up from his seat and quickly picked up Naya's body.

"Sir, where are you taking me?" Naya's fear grew, but she didn't dare resist because Lucas looked angry.

The burly man with a tattoo on his left forearm carried Naya to the bedroom inside his private jet. He roughly threw Naya's body onto the bed there.

"Sir!" Naya exclaimed in surprise.

Lucas's body immediately pinned his wife down, Naya's face still showing fear.

"Listen, you stupid woman! You dared to hurt my hand with your filthy hands. You know what? I want to strangle you right now, if my grandmother wasn't behind you."

Those beautiful eyes stared blankly with tears welling up. "Why do you hate me so much, sir? What's wrong with me being your wife?" Somehow, Naya found the courage to ask the man above her that question.

"Of course you're wrong, you trashy woman! Just the thought of marrying a woman my grandmother picked up from a brothel makes me disgusted with you! And you!" Lucas's hand gripped Naya's chin tightly again, until she could no longer hold back her tears.

"I told you back then, if you had to refuse this marriage and I even gave you a lot of money for you to use for the rest of your life, but you betrayed me and accepted this marriage."

"I want to be part of your family because ...."

"Because you wanted more wealth, right? You really are a cunning woman! You may be able to fool my grandmother, but not me!" Lucas immediately pulled himself away from Naya. The man stood tall, the cold aura still lingering on his face.

"Don't get out until we arrive in Miami, I'm sick of seeing your fear!" Lucas left Naya alone in his room.

Naya cried as she hugged her blanket. She never imagined that her life would be so painful after her parents died in a car accident a few years ago.

That night, in a room that looked so luxurious and large for a dining room, there was a long table with several chairs on the left and right sides. There were also several dishes that looked very delicious.

There were several people there. They were talking to each other, only the old woman sitting in the main chair seemed to be really enjoying her meal. Her face showed happiness, which made several people there now shift their attention to the old woman.

"Grandma, you look so happy. Did you just win a big tender?" asked the woman with her hair tied up high, who looked very glamorous for a dinner with her family.

"Soon I will become a great-grandmother and you will become a beautiful aunt, Laura," said the old woman with a smile.

"What do you mean, Grandma?" Laura looked confused.

"Laura, don't you understand what your grandmother is saying? Her beloved grandson is married, and his wife might be pregnant," explained the man sitting next to Laura. Laura's husband laughed as if mocking his wife, whose face had turned sour.

"You're right, Juan. My grandchild is on his honeymoon with his wife, and hopefully when they return, I will receive happy news." Grandma Louisa's smile broadened happily.

"Are you sure Lucas would want his seed to grow in the womb of that cheap woman?" Laura's words sounded sarcastic.

"Laura, watch your mouth! Kanaya is a respectable woman compared to the woman you set up with Lucas, and I would be very happy to have a great-grandchild from a woman as good as Kanaya," Grandma Louisa said firmly.

The old woman finished her meal and immediately got up from her seat. Her heart ached at the words of her granddaughter, who was none other than Lucas's sister. Indeed, her decision to marry Lucas to Kanaya had been rejected by Laura and her extended family, considering that Kanaya was a girl she had taken from a brothel at the time.

"It's useless for you to say that you don't like your sister-in-law. They are already married. It's better to just accept your grandmother's decision," said the beautiful woman, who smiled sweetly at Laura.

"Auntie, shut up! You're even her child, but you're not as important as Lucas," Laura said to the woman sitting in front of her.

"I don't care about that, my niece. The most important thing is that my life has been comfortable and happy. Every month, I can travel around the world with my beloved husband. Honey, let's go because I want to buy salad at the restaurant that just opened near the office." The woman's hand reached out to the man beside her.

"Yes, honey." The man stood up from his seat and held his wife's hand. The two of them left the dining room.

Laura's face grew even angrier at this point. She was truly furious at her grandmother and aunt.

"Honey, our position in this family will be even weaker if Lucas really has a child. Your grandmother is really disgusting!" said the man named Juan angrily.

"Grandma has always loved Lucas very much because I am only her step-granddaughter. Why didn't that old woman just die long ago!" Laura's hand clenched her spoon tightly.

"But even if your grandmother dies, Lucas's position here will still be very strong. Just look, he owns the Dinov family's largest company. He's also the one who continued your grandfather's dirty business. It will be very difficult for us to fight Lucas because he is very cruel to his enemies," said Juan, who still looked furious.

"We can't hurt Lucas with weapons or blows, but we will hurt his heart once again after he finds out that his lover has betrayed him with that idiot Leo." A sly smile appeared on the beautiful woman's lips.

"What's your plan, Laura?"

"I'll make a woman named Kanaya seem like she betrayed him. Lucas doesn't love her, but I'll make that woman look bad in the eyes of Lucas and my grandmother until she's finally kicked out of here. That woman must embarrass the Dinov family with her behavior. Yes... hopefully that woman can also give my grandmother a heart attack." Once again, Laura smiled slyly at her husband.

"Good idea. With one blow, we will kill two birds with one stone. You are a genius, dear." Juan kissed his wife on the lips."
