LOGINThe sound of knocking echoed loudly against the door, a clear sign that the person outside had run out of patience waiting for someone to answer. “Where are they? Why isn’t anyone opening the door?” Lucas stood anxiously in front of Kanaya’s house. He had tried calling Kanaya earlier, but she didn’t answer. Lucas was truly afraid of losing her again like before, but this time the fear was even greater because Kanaya was with their two children. “Kanaya, where are you? Raymond, that man must know where she is.” Lucas quickly dialed Raymond’s number. He waited anxiously for the call to be answered. “Hello, Raymond. Tell me, where is Kanaya? Don’t hide her from me. Do you even realize that she is my wife and the twins are my children?” “Of course I know, Mr. Dinov. But don’t you remember that your relationship with Lana ended a long time ago, when you threw her out and refused to acknowledge her anymore?” “Everything that happened back then was just a misunderstanding. Kanaya and
That morning in the office, Raymond approached Lana, who was busy working on the tasks Lucas had given her the day before. “Lana, I want to talk to you for a moment.” “Ray, what is it? I’m preparing documents for Mr. Lucas to bring before lunch. We’re going to a meeting at Mr. Dean’s company.” Lana spoke while her hands remained busy sorting through the papers in front of her. “You’re going out with Lucas again?” Raymond’s expression immediately darkened. “Yes, darling. I still have a meeting today.” “You should just quit this company, Lana.” Lana immediately stopped the movement of her hands as she sorted through the files. “What’s wrong?” Lana looked at him. Raymond slowly lifted his hand and gently stroked Lana’s cheek. “I get jealous seeing how close you are to Lucas.” “Ray, Lucas and I don’t have any relationship. This is all just work.” “Yes, but I’m still jealous.” Raymond’s hand continued to caress the cheek of the woman he loved so deeply. “Ray, tonight let’s have
The meeting with the client at the luxurious restaurant carried a unique tension. Despite the drama that had happened in the car earlier, Lucas’s professionalism as a CEO was beyond question. With his charisma and decisiveness, the major deal they had come for was finally signed. After the client excused himself and left the restaurant area, Lana immediately tidied her bag. The atmosphere at the table felt increasingly suffocating now that only the two of them remained. “The cooperation is finished, Mr. Lucas. I’ll excuse myself and head home first,” Lana said without looking him in the eye. “Sit down, Kanaya,” Lucas ordered calmly, yet his tone left no room for refusal. He signaled the waiter to serve the main course that he had apparently ordered earlier. “But this is already outside working hours—” “You accompanied the client earlier. Now accompany your husband while he eats. I haven’t eaten all day because I was thinking about you,” Lucas cut in. His voice suddenly softened,
Lana finally asked Raymond to talk privately because she didn't want Lucas to tell him about her past with Lucas. She wanted to tell him herself about her former life with Lucas. "Honey, are you going to have dinner with him?""Ray, I'm having dinner with Mr. Lucas, not on a date. We have an important meeting with a client, and as his secretary, I have to accompany him. You heard it yourself, right? Don't you trust me?""I trust you, Lana, but not Lucas." Ray glanced at Lucas, who was still standing there coldly. "Thank you, Ray." Raymond approached and hugged Lana affectionately. "When you're done, call me right away." Lana nodded and Raymond left. "Mr. Lucas, I'm going to change my clothes first.""Kanaya!"Lucas quickly pulled Lana's arm until she bumped into his chest. "Mr. Lucas, let go!""Do you love him?" Lucas stared intently. "You have no right to ask that." Lana's hand tried to push Lucas's body away. "Just answer, Kanaya."The two pairs of eyes stared at each othe
Lana masih tidak percaya dengan apa yang Lucas katakan. "Aku tahu siapa kamu, Lucas. Kau tidak akan membiarkan orang yang menyakitimu hidup.""Tapi memang aku tidak menyuruh orang untuk memukuli Gio. Apa Gio sendiri yang mengatakan hal itu? Dia benar-benar brengsek! Dia sangat menginginkanmu dan kau terlalu polos mempercayainya.""Kau terlalu diliputi cemburu, sampai menghilangkan kepercayaamu padaku.""Jadi, selama ini, hubungan kita memang dirusak oleh seseorang. Gio brengsek! Akan aku temukan di manapun kau berada." Tangan Lucas mengepal erat. "Hal itu tidak penting sekarang. Hubungan kita juga sudah berakhir dan aku ingin hidup tenang bersama dengan anak-anakku.""Kenapa kau tidak menemuiku setelah tahu kau mengandung anak-anakku, Kanaya? Kenapa malah menghilang?""Bukannya kau yang menginginkan aku dan anak-anakmu mati saat mereka di dalam kandungan, kau lupa jika kaulah yang mengirim orang-orang itu untuk menyerang rumah Mama Lily sampai akhirnya Mama Lily meninggal.""Apa?" K
“Take your hands off me, Mr. Lucas. This is my house, and you should behave yourself.” Lana shot him a sharp glare.“I want to hate you so badly that sometimes I feel like stabbing my own heart for always thinking about you.”Something struck Kanaya’s heart when she heard that.Lucas slowly brushed his fingers along Lana’s cheek, then trailed them down her neck.“Don’t, Lucas… This is wrong. I don’t belong to you anymore,” Lana whimpered.“You have always belonged to me, Kanaya. Your body cannot lie,” Lucas replied softly. He did not accept rejection.“Mr. Lucas, please leave.” Lana tried to steady herself. She did not want to be swept away by a touch she had once longed for so desperately.With overwhelming dominance, Lucas captured Lana’s lips in a forceful kiss. At first she struggled, but the longing buried for five years and Lucas’s commanding presence weakened her resistance. That night, beneath the same roof where their children slept peacefully, Lana fell once more into the ar
"You're Kanaya, right?" asked the man in front of her once again. "Gio, you're Gio, right?" Kanaya remembered the mole on the left side of the chin of the man called Gio. A slight smile spread across Gio's lips. A sudden hug made Kanaya's eyes widen. "I'm so happy to see you. You haven't change
"Sir? You're home." Kanaya's arms immediately wrapped around Lucas's waist. "I missed you." "Aw! Kanaya...." Kanaya released her embrace because she sensed something was wrong with her husband. "Sir, what's wrong?" Kanaya's eyes scrutinized him. "I'm fine, Kanaya." Lucas walked into the room
Kanaya opened the box. Inside was a diamond bracelet with a star-shaped pendant. "It's beautiful." Kanaya's eyes widened. Kanaya opened and read a letter. It turned out to be the gift that Grandma Louisa had promised to send to her house. The letter expressed the hope that Kanaya would live happ
The cold aura approached the people who had been insulting Kanaya. Kanaya looked stunned to see her husband there, even though she had thought he was angry and didn't want her to contact him, but it turned out he was there after all. "Mr. Lucas? Are you really the husband of t
