LOGINFor the first time in a long while, the atmosphere in Lucas’s mansion felt warm. Kanaya sat on the sofa while her two children played on the floor, and Lucas watched them with a faint smile. Everything seemed peaceful. Hayden laughed as Hailey pretended to feed her doll, while Kanaya observed them with a sense of relief. “I’m happy to see you all like this,” Lucas said softly, his voice gentle yet firm. “Now, we can start building our lives again.” Kanaya gave a small smile as she looked at him. “I also… feel safe now. Thank you for explaining everything, Lucas.” Yet deep inside, guilt still lingered in her heart. Raymond was the one on her mind now, more precisely, what he must be going through after the wedding that had been suddenly destroyed. Not long after, the sound of a car slowing down came from outside the mansion. Kanaya turned her head, suddenly alert. She didn’t know why, but her heart felt uneasy. The front door opened, and a handsome man with a serious expression st
Lucas stood facing Raymond. The tension between the two men was palpable, and Kanaya, standing nearby, could only watch with growing concern at what Lucas might do. “Your marriage to Kanaya will not happen. If you proceed, someone will die here,” Lucas said, his eyes sharp and unyielding. The room immediately fell silent. Guests whispered nervously among themselves, some stepping back slowly, fearful that the situation could spiral out of control. Raymond’s lips curled into a faint, confident smile, though his jaw tightened. “Do you think I’ll back down just because of a cheap threat like that, Mr. Dinov?” Lucas took a step closer, exuding a cold aura that seemed to fill the entire room. “This isn’t a threat, Ray. It’s your final warning.” Kanaya clutched her gown tightly. Her heart pounded. She knew Lucas well—he never played around with his words. “Lucas, stop!” Kanaya’s voice finally broke the tension. “This isn’t the place for this.” Lucas turned to her, his gaze softening
The 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
"Who is he, sir?" Bayu's eyebrows furrowed, his eyes narrowing as he watched the CCTV footage from Lucas's house. A man wearing a hat and sunglasses pointed a gun at Kanaya when she opened the door. The man asked Kanaya to get in the car with him. "Sir, I'll find out where Kanaya is as soon as
Lucas took Kanaya's hand and led her into the party room. Andrean, who was talking to his son, was immediately distracted when he saw Lucas and Kanaya enter. "I'm so glad you came to my party, Lucas." Mrs. Andrean hugged Lucas. "I couldn't possibly miss today's event." Lucas smiled crookedly. N
Lucas chased after Kanaya, who ran out toward the restaurant's backyard. Jason followed them, afraid that Lucas would do something bad to Kanaya because Jason knew who Lucas was. "Lucas, don't do anything bad to Kanaya," Jason said worriedly. Lucas's hand immediately grabbed Jason's shirt collar.
Lucas brought Kanaya back into the store. A short-haired female clerk greeted them. The clerk's gaze seemed to dislike Kanaya's appearance, as she was only wearing Lucas' suit. "Can I help you, sir?""My wife wanted to buy clothes here, but why did she come out looking so sad? Can't you serve her
