Lucas walked calmly toward the end of the balcony of his room, enjoying the gentle breeze there. Louis's party was still ongoing, and he had no intention of leaving after receiving a surprising phone call from the woman ruin his mind for the past week. He had never felt so obsessed with a whore who had rejected his advances.The problem was that she was the only woman who ever turned him down, while others would willingly throw themselves at him. He had almost lost track of her until fate brought her right in front of him, staring at him with those round, mesmerizing blue eyes.Clara. Finally, he found her.And as if his luck had not run out, he discovered that Louis knew her—seemed familiar with her as if they had been friends for a long time.Lucas found her and would do anything to possess that insane woman—arrogant enough to think she was too valuable to sleep with him and even dared to kick him as if he wasn't powerful enough to intimidate her.His manipulative instincts heighten

At first, Clara still didn't believe what Lucas had said, but when she realized that Rachel hadn't been answering her calls, even though she always picked up, even in the middle of the night or early morning, Clara began to realize that Lucas wasn't kidding, especially when she remembered her last conversation with Rachel when she was still at the hospital."What are you doing?" Lucas walked closer and snatched her phone."Give it back!" Clara realized what he was doing and jumped to reach it. However, her height didn't match Lucas, making her look ridiculous as she leaped in front of him."You don't believe me, so you called Rachel?" Lucas glanced at her phone and ended the call, erasing Rachel's number right in front of her."What the hell are you doing? You're a fucking asshole!" Clara angrily hit his arm."Calm down, Cla." Lucas returned her phone, but there was nothing she could do with it since he had already deleted everything—the phone number, call logs, and the last message s

"Haven’t done it in a while, Cla?" Lucas said as he pulled up her underwear. The black dress she had been wearing had come off a while ago before Lucas led her into his room.Clara held her breath. She didn't want to respond to Lucas, but in the end, she couldn't hold back the moan that escaped her lips when he breathed along her stomach."Do you think so?" she murmured softly."You look nervous," Lucas crawled up to touch her breasts, making deliberate motions that seemed to torment her with every touch.Clara became even more breathless. Her lips parted, and she knew what she wanted.Her job as a prostitute had taught her many things, including the inner struggle that always plagued her at certain moments. She never wanted this, but she couldn't deny that her body naturally reacted to every touch she received.Not wanting to be consumed by what Lucas was doing, she reached out and touched Lucas's abdomen. She couldn't deny that Lucas had a perfect body, sculpted like a favorite arti

"I don't know what's happening, but lately, you always look tired and sleepy in the morning, and it's making me more worried about you,"Clara lifted her head from the dining table and gave Elena a brief smile. Lately, Clara had been asking Elena to stay over at her house, so they always had breakfast together in the morning. Elena didn't mind because she didn't have anyone at her home. Even two days ago, Elena had discussed her plans to stay at Clara's place permanently, which meant cutting her monthly rent since she decided not to renew her house lease. After her younger brother left, the house became neglected as Elena spent more time at Clara's place. Clara accepted the plan, of course. She didn't want to cut Elena's pay. For her, it would be better if someone was willing to be with Anthony all the time, as she couldn't be sure of her work schedule, especially since Lucas often contacted her late at night, even busier than her work schedule, when Rachel managed her clients.And ta

There was nothing Clara wished for more than her menstruation this month. After everything that had happened, including Lucas' punishment after kicking him again a week ago, Clara finally got what she had been waiting for. She was three days late, making her slightly panicked because she was never late.Her job taught her many risks she might face if she forgot one important thing—protection. With all the consequences in mind, Clara spent every month fearing being late for her period. She didn't know what she would do if it ever happened—pregnancy. She always prayed that it wouldn't happen to her. As a woman, she couldn't deny that she often dreamed about her future—getting married, getting pregnant, having children, watching Anthony grow up with her child, and doing wonderful and enjoyable things. However, now she had to convince herself that the dreams in her head didn't have to come true in her life. None of it had to happen because... she was aware of her past life, and she didn't
