Semua Bab You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone: Bab 121 - Bab 130

Lucian looked down to watch Calista. The woman was frowning. Despite being forced to lean in his embrace, her eyes were fixed on Hector. It looked to him like she was focused solely on the man across from her.His hand slid from her shoulder to her waist. He tightened his grip to forcefully direct her attention back to him. His eyes were dark."Let's go."Jonathan had already parked the car next to the pair. All they needed to do was reach for the door to get in."No …"Before she could refuse, Lucian forcefully led her into the car. Hector's expression darkened. He wanted to stop the man but was stopped by the two bodyguards.In a blink of an eye, Lucian had ushered Calista into the vehicle and locked the doors. The car whirred to life and sped away from the hospital.Jonathan wasn't the only person in the car. David was also there.Hector's voice could be heard through the roar of the engine and reached the two people in the backseat who wore vastly different expressions."L

Lucian let go of Calista, who continued to glare at him. Her neck still bore marks left behind by his kisses when he failed to control his strength.If she had a knife in her hand, she would've long since stabbed him. What part of her looked afraid?Lucian said nothing. His gaze was fixed on Paul's hand. He had used the fingerprint scanner to unlock the door.Being an heir to a wealthy family meant that social cues were ingrained in them. The first step was to read between the lines.Despite Lucian not saying a word, Paul immediately caught onto what he was thinking."I apologize. I was in a hurry and hadn't had time to get my data erased."That was indeed a mistake. Paul opened the door, fiddled around with the touchpad, and removed his fingerprint from the system.Lucian acted distant and couldn't be bothered to extend a symbolic invitation for the man to come inside. He stood at the entrance with an expression that made it look like he was sending Paul on his way."It's late

A few of Calista's colleagues were with her. They all wore smirks as they shot her looks. After enduring a full day of teasing, she now had no problems keeping her calm as they watched her.Chelsea Ferguson leaned over to whisper to Calista as she passed her by, "You didn't cover up the love bites behind your ear, Claude."Calista, a woman who had dated and jumped straight into marriage, stayed as innocent as a virgin in the last three years.No matter how calm and composed she seemed, it was a challenge to keep a straight face when faced with such an embarrassing situation.She immediately tried to cover her ears so Chelsea would stop staring."Don't bother. Everyone has seen them."Calista had checked herself over in the mirror before she left the apartment. She had covered the traces on her neck with concealer.She wore a turtleneck sweater and a scarf on top of that. Even her hair which she usually kept pulled up was down. She didn't think there would still be traces she fai

Lucas told Jacob about the last show half a month ago. Calista hadn't been in Justa at the time. Jacob also knew of her preference for not showing her face. That was why he recommended her for the show.Only Calista's hands were in the frame in the documentary. When paired with the handsome Bryan, she aroused curiosity about her appearance.The unpopular documentary ended up trending on social media.After receiving a call from Jacob and learning that Calista had agreed to participate, Lucas was overjoyed. He informed her of the shooting that would take place a week later.Everyone involved was an amateur. So, scheduling was not an issue.The day before the shoot, Calista received the program's schedule and a list of participants. She didn't know anyone. But it was still necessary to go through with it.She wasn't there for the program. She wanted to make use of Lucas's gimmick to show everyone that she was the mysterious conservator "Claude".After reviewing the schedule, she c

One look at Lucian's attitude and the sarcastic tone of voice, Calista knew he had heard everything.Lily had failed to get her way with her that morning and left for a few minutes. When she returned, her mood had visibly improved.And now Lucian showed up when lunchtime rolled around. It was clear from his tone that he was degrading her. So, he was here seeking revenge on his lover's behalf.Calista had a busy day as a puppet on strings being directed to perform. She was exhausted. And now she had to face this man picking on her after finishing up. Her expression darkened.She set aside her phone on the table. The clear thud could be heard. She crossed her arms, leaned against the backrest, and got straight to the point."So, what does Lily want? Does she want her money back? She can dream on."There was a certain gloom in his eyes."We're discussing the matter concerning Claude. Don't go involving an outsider.""Outsider? Lily called you this morning, didn't she? Did she tatt
