Cold night, in his study Lucius stared very coldly. The sound of a very slow ticking clock sounded so clear in his ears.On his desk is a picture of a smiling Riley. He got the photo even when Riley was still Mike's wife.He took the photo from inside the car and liked it so much that he printed it out for him to look at.Knock! Knock!A knock on his door made Lucius look weak."Sir Lucius, this is Caleb."That sentence made Lucius’s mouth finally move. "Come in."His voice wasn't powerful, but the person coming at him had been trying to cook his ears well so he could hear Lucius’s voice.A large man with neat black hair entered. He looked at Lucius and gave an excellent respectful gesture.“Sir, he has now worked in the service of other men. He won't be able to escape from there any time soon.”"Good. He had to suffer like that.”Lucius responded colder than he had before. He looked at Riley's portrait and felt she was smiling at him. He had always liked it, something cold got inside
In Riley's hand was a white invitation with beautiful gold ink. A wedding party is about to be celebrated, a famous businessman marries his son with another businessman.It is common in business marriages, they make this to strengthen their business.“The Hillbert family and the Ynnoe family. They will become monstrous business giants.”Riley chuckled while remembering Lucius. The Carsons were also the rivals of the Hillberts, with a business marriage like this, Riley thought Lucius might be distracted.“Serra, make me some tea.”Riley gave an order to Serra, who was in front of her. The woman who tied her hair neatly nodded and immediately came out of the room to make the coffee Riley wanted.Sometimes in the morning, Riley would be at the boutique, during the day, she would be at the company. Or vice versa, Serra is the one who will arrange Riley's schedule so that everything goes well.A phone call came into her cell, and what she expected happened. The call from Lucius pleased her
He had worked hard to get it. He could have told Abriel to find a dress for Riley, but he decided to choose it himself because he was the one who knew Riley's body.“I looked for it for three hours. There are many beautiful dresses, but that's the perfect one, you'll be the most beautiful woman there tomorrow."Riley opened her mouth, watching Lucius, who was enthusiastic when talking about things related to her."But it would be bad if I beat the bride's beauty." Riley chuckled, she closed the dress back in the box.Suddenly, Lucius’s large hands pulled Riley into his arms.Riley's body was already above him, a scene with a surge of passion rising between them.“Want whoever gets married? In my eyes, you are the most beautiful, Riley. You've always been dangerous."Lucius pulled Riley's hand, placed it on his broad chest, and felt a heartbeat that made Riley also pounding too. Riley quickly got off Lucius’s lap.“Then I will go first, Lucius. Thanks for the dress.”Lucius held Riley,
It was clear that if he was the center of attention, Lucius was the most shining man here, the most potential man to be made a husband. All the girls were envious of Riley, especially Lucius holding her hand and talking with a smile.Another businessman came up to them, he looked at Riley and glanced at Lucius curiously. Just in that way alone, he had asked Lucius for an explanation."She is Riley, the woman who rejected me," Lucius spoke casually, he didn't mind at all with the reactions of everyone who heard them in utter disbelief.They looked Riley up and down again and again. After all, what advantage did this woman have that made her reject Lucius? Riley pinched Lucius, she wanted to be able to escape from here, but she couldn't. Come on. Riley wanted to calm down and thought this was a secret between them. The women who heard that were displeased and grew even more displeased with Riley.Riley could see their lips pointed forward and Riley suddenly smiled.“Lucius loves to joke
In a fast-moving car, the tension is still so thick. Riley couldn't move freely, she was afraid of making Lucius feel worse."Stop."Suddenly Lucius asked the driver to stop. They stopped near a river with beautiful lights. Lucius immediately got out of the car and exhaled.Riley caught up to Lucius, who was touching his head while looking down.When he realized Riley was beside him, Lucius looked the other way. “You told me to stop because you still love him? You don't want him to get hurt?"Don't know what Lucius was thinking, everything seemed to collide so much that it was hard for him to think clearly. Riley held his hand, the woman's hand felt cold and immediately worried Lucius."I'm not worried about him. I'm worried about you, Lucius. You are Lucius, a great man who owns a great business. Why do you have to make a bad name for yourself just because of a trash guy like him?”Riley said honestly, that sincere look in her eyes making Lucius gasp. He hugged Riley as he rubbed Ril
He really likes to be the center of attention, even when he's not doing anything, he has become the center of awareness itself.He had just finished a meeting with a businessman from another country, he was now in a restaurant in this hotel. The large tall buildings made him wholly uneasy.“Mr. Lucius, here is today's report on the crash in the Anderson family stock. Their new business has also experienced heavy inflation.”Abriel provides a report that is in a tab.“Some of my enemies are trying to get close to him, right?”Lucius stared at Abriel, he knew very well that it was an opportunity for others who hated him. Abriel nodded his head, he had done an excellent report. Several names tried to approach Mike in the report that Lucius had not read.“Send spies there, trying to destroy it from the inside would be so much fun.” Lucius smiled, he had shown his fearsome fangs and Abriel knew what Lucius wanted would come true.**The Carson family, currently the head of the family, is s
His arrival at Riley's office made her happy, he stopped and surprised Riley. The large bouquet of flowers in his hand drew all gazes toward him.Just when she wanted to get out of her room and immediately go home with a sore body, she took a bouquet of flowers given by Lucius."I just stopped by here for a moment.""Stop by?" Riley still didn't quite understand what Lucius was saying."Are you disappointed that I wasn't with you long?" Lucius saw the movement of Riley's hand, who had taken the bouquet. He smiled a little.“No, just a little surprised you stopped by here. Is there something you want to tell me, Lucius?" Riley looked at the bouquet of flowers in her hands, the red color of the roses and their fragrance made it hard to avert her eyes."Just giving you flowers and good night wishes to a beautiful woman."They walked, no one else wanted to interrupt their time together. The two of them got into the elevator, which was now going down."Tonight, I'm leaving," Lucius said wi
The busy days made her a little overwhelmed by the existence of Lucius, who for the past two months, had always been trying to get close to her. When she wasn't doing anything, Riley would remember Lucius for a moment.Many extraordinary things happened between them. Riley thought Lucius was very different from what was reported in the mass media. The figure of a person who is arrogant, stubborn, and haughty. Alright, she agreed with Lucius' stubbornness. Over and over again, she refused Lucius' wishes, and the man would not listen to her."You were there long enough, it's almost a week since we didn't meet, right?" Riley asked herself. She tilted her head. Trying to relax her mind for a moment. Her eyes felt dry from staring at the screen before her for too long.Her phone vibrated on the table, she deliberately put it on vibrate mode only. The name written on the screen made her smile faintly.“Wow, you do seem to have a sixth sense, huh? Or could it be that you have a hidden camera
