She sat on the chaise as all king of scenarios crossed her mind. It was a possibility this marriage of convenience was a two-edge sword but he needed to be careful around him.Right now while she was an almost cripple, this could be the best resort.The slid open, snapping her head at the sound, only to see Luca entering the door. He had disappeared after the wedding and it was obvious by the theme of the room she was shifted in that it was his. She tried wobble away but  he held her by the waist and restricted her sluggish movements any further.She kept her head bowed down, he caressed her nape sending shivers down her spine. His hand travelled up and massaged her scalp.She tried to pull away from him, “Luca, you…”His other cupped her cheek side and raised her head to him. He hummed as he intensely stared at her as if remembering her features, "How I have longed for you."Svetlana winced, kept her eyes fixated at

She reached the table and Luca stood up to hold her hand, then smoothly pulled her chair out for her and helped her arrange her napkin in her lap. Svetlana smiled at him then thanked him.This just proved no matter how much of a savage they were in the bedroom; they were formally decent on the table like they were humoring each other presence. Svetlana extended her hand and picked Luca's empty plate from in front of him. His eyebrow rose but he didn't question her. She stood up and started making his plate, mentally calculating the balanced diet.She was his private doctor so might as well be a nutritionist too, the man was paying her for far more.Luca saw her making his plate and couldn't help the warmth that stretched in his heart. Unconsciously she was doing everything a wife ought to.She was going to be shopping for everything for their wardrobe by next month not only that, she was making his plate with a concentration and devotion, his

Her Adopted Father smoked like his bum was on fire and she absolutely abhorred any man who smoked, it brought immediate gag reflexes. Tyler, her cousin, was one of those chain smokers who smoked as much as he inhaled, so she even hated hugging him whatsoever.But kissing or living with a man who smokes was a big NO in her book! So she forbade it!Luca didn't reply just smirked at the little Raven who thought she called the shots. It was okay, he could quit smoking now that she was here; he only smoked to subdue his frustration.He was more interested to see where she will lead it.Svetlana was aware of his compliance and a shiver passed down her spine immediately, he was looking at her as if she was lunch. She gulped and kept her firm posture despite her ringing temple and sweating fist.She looked straight ahead ordered a maid to bring her a notebook and pen. She knew he was staring at her so she deliberately ate slowly and kept her eyes fixed on

 The dose was mild so it was expected for him to wake up in such a time as it would wear off.Shocked, both of them took her in. He was wearing a hoodie with boyfriend jeans unlike what he would usually dress like. His burnt umber hairs were peeking out from his hoodie. His wrist and ankles were tied with adhesive tapes.It must be his camouflage to invade Andres Cauldron people. He was a very perspective man and often did things out of his Boss's radar. Andres didn't know Tyler was something similar to a double agent with only one difference that the second party was Tyler himself.If it suited Tyler's interest, he could sale more than his conscience.Luca hadn't seen Tylor too many times before except when he was tailing behind his cousin as his secretary. His resemblance to Ivana was uncanny to the point they could be mistaken for each other if they cross dressed.Luca wondered why he never noticed before but it could be because he

Svetlana and Ivana were always in a pickle for one reason or another. Right now the pickle seemed to be Luca."You know, Ivana loves him but you are playing with him and her. I fail to understand why do you persist to bring misery to everyone?!" He scoffed, shaking his head.Svetlana stood as her throat clogged up and eyes stung. He had outright that she was better dead.It hurts. He was someone she considered family. But she was but a nuisance to everyone."You can leave. I've had enough bullshit for a day." She spoke with a resolve that she herself didn't recognize her voice.Tyler head snapped to her, realizing a little too late what he implied, "Lana, all I do is lookout for you. You, me and Ivana, all we have is each other." He grabbed her shoulders and affirmed with nod. She nodded in reply and looked away. At most she knew he had no malice toward her but he wasn't wrong when he claimed to treat them equally.
