Lucy’s POVIt made me sick to my stomach to think about what the hell he wanted from me. He dumped and turned me down, and now he's trying to bother me again?I snapped my fingers together in fury and stared blankly at the floor until I found myself thinking about him. I pressed my lips together as I thought about how he kissed me that night and carefully claimed me over and over again."No way," I said as I shut my eyes and bit my lower lip."I should have put that out of my mind!" Then I paced back and forth, thumped my feet, and sighed, "What am I doing?! Erase him from your mind, Lucy! He's not worth it!" "Are you okay, Miss Lucy?" Cecille inquired as she just walked in.And right now I don’t know what to do because she just caught me talking to myself. "Haha, nothing," I said with an awkward smile. I walked upstairs, trying not to look back at Cecille while scratching my forehead. I feel so ashamed of what I was doing, damn it. "Sh*t…" I said it out loud in shock as I shut
Lucy’s POV"Arman, people are staring," I remarked, positioning myself in the center. He peered at me with an expression that conveyed his intense desire to discipline my Uncle Robert.Arman stepped back, and my Uncle Robert glared at us and yelled, "This is Foolishness! I'm going to file a lawsuit! You can't just interfere and hurt me, you id*ot!" "Do you think I'm scared of you?" Arman asked my uncle with a sneer and a straight face. Uncle Robert suddenly got cold sweats as he looked at Arman."I'm not scared of you, Arman Romano!" "I know you're not." Arman smiled playfully. Uncle Robert stood up while rubbing his knees, and it looked like Arman really kicked him so hard that his knees were trembling in pain.I pulled out Arman's arm and said, "Let's go." Everyone was staring at us; some even spoke to each other in disdain as they stared at me with disgusted faces."Can you drive my car?" I threw him my car key, and he had no choice but to drive the car out of the crowd. I to
Lucy’s POV"That's right, I don't love you, and I never will. I won't just sit here and watch you die, though!" His eyes were off of me when he said that. I didn't get why someone like him would say that in front of me. My god, this is killing me twice. I took deep breaths and let them out until I said, "Get out of my car..." I shoved him out of the car and sat down in the driver's seat, trying to hold back my tears. Lucy, don't cry right now. Don't show him how much what he said struck you. He's totally f*cking aggravating and bewildering you the entire time! I stomped on the gas and sped up the car until I was far away from him. That's when I collapsed in tears. Seriously, I can't cry with the same guy over and over again! This is unbelievable!What a terrible day. When I got home, I did not realize that Edward was already waiting for me. Now that I saw him, he looked at me with worried eyes, blinking slowly as if he was thinking about what had happened to me. He softly asked
Lucy’s POVEdward slowly took my finger out of his mouth, and I opened my mouth wide. He asked the waiter, "Do you have a plaster or a piece of cloth?" "Yes, sir." The waiter ran to the kitchen and came back with a plaster in his hand.Edward carefully put the plaster around my pointy finger and said, "It's okay. It's just a little cut." Despite my relief that he was such a gentleman, I found myself nervously staring at him and biting my lower lip. He told me, "Now you can finish your food."I smiled at him. And he added with a wink, "Don't play with the knife again, though..."I let out a soft laugh and said, "Thank you..." He took out a piece of tissue and wiped the edge of my lip with it. Then he whispered. "Don't bother looking at him again. He'll only ruin your day..." Then, with a grin on my face, I swallowed and kept eating till I was full. It was hard for me not to look at Arman, who was sitting at a different side table. I also tried to figure out how to stop jealousy b
Lucy’s POV"I… don't?" I realized that he was right. I do not have any friends, and I am not sure why I am here with Edward. Honestly, I don't know whether Edward considers me a friend. But I don't care anymore. What I really care about right now is why Arman would waste his time just to annoy me.And when I glanced at him, he was already staring at me. Arman crossed his front pockets with his palms as he approached, asking, "Are you serious when you say that he is your friend? Lucy, a man and a woman, can never be friends. He's doing this because he wants something from you. Right, Edward?" "Of course I don't want her to be my friend… Because I want to be more than just friends with her... because I like her," Edward answered. I gasped as he grabbed my hand. "Lucy, I really like you," he said as he looked into my eyes. Arman was a little surprised when Edward confessed directly to me. Then there was me. Who was completely confused at the same time.After Edward's honest confess
Lucy’s POV“That’s why I’m not foolish enough to give you what you want, grandma.” I replied to her question without blinking my eyes. Her anger sparked as she threw a glance towards me, “Lucy… you're going to regret this.” Grandma, so far as I can tell, I will not deeply regret anything. Even if you're going to be furious with me, it doesn't matter. I could care less..."She put out her hand to hit me, but I grabbed her wrist and told her, "I always admire you as my grandmother. But I now see that I don't want to be like you. I want no part of being an elderly woman who wanders around yapping garbage!" "You are such a shame to the family!" she said as she yanked her wrist away from me. "You barely respect me!" "Respect what? Respect isn't given; it's earned. Since then, you haven't respected me, grandma. Please know how sad I am if this is how I have to behave around you. What you are showing me is all I am reflecting on." In spite of the rain, I turned my back on her and headed
Lucy’s POVJasper put a piece of cloth in my mouth so I couldn't scream for help. He looked at me with a sly grin and asked, "Do you know where we're going?" I rolled my eyes at him angrily and tried to wiggle my body hard. Then he pulled over when he saw that the rope around my wrist was getting knotted. He pulled the rope tight and said, "Yes, you are mine now. You're not going anywhere, either. I will keep you with me until the end if no one finds out you're missing!" I moaned in agony as he injected something into my neck; after that, I felt a gradual loss of control and numbness throughout my body despite my best efforts to open my eyes. My heart raced with terror as I struggled to move; finally, Jasper smirked wickedly and whispered, "Sleep, princess….” ********************Arman’s POVThe rain was pouring down outside, and I held my wine glass and stared at the heavy rain from my balcony. I couldn't stop thinking about the woman who always made me feel crazy. When I saw
Lucy’s POVAs I looked at him, tears came up from deep inside me and ran down my face.I didn't know what to say, but he looked at me like he was going to cry. His expression spoke it all as he carefully placed me in his car and said, "I'm sorry..." He sighed as he took off his shirt and he gave it to me, “Wear this…” Meanwhile, he sat in the driver's seat, shirtless. What happened earlier was so scary that I could barely hold my hands together.Jasper almost raped me! Imagine if Arman was late. What would happen then? He glanced in my direction since I was still clutching onto his T-shirt. I haven't worn it yet because I'm still in shock. He reached out and grabbed the T-shirt, then said, "If you think what happened to you makes me sick, you're wrong. No, I'm not disgusted by you, Lucy. I hope this makes sense to you." And I breathe softly as he commanded, “Raise your hands… let me take care of you this time.” I slowly took Edward's jacket off and showed him my bare chest. His
