It seems like they're planning to get engaged."Yara kept her gaze fixed on Calista as she spoke to observe how her friend would react."But those are just rumors I heard. I don't have all the details. You should go ask him yourself if you want to know. No one except the people involved would know what's going on."Truth be told, Yara hadn't only heard about it; she had also seen Lucian with that woman. However, they didn't appear to be intimate at the time. So, she didn't think too much of it.But in the last two days, news of Lucian's impending union had spread like wildfire in the community. They had kept such a high profile that everyone knew about it.Yara didn't want to see Calista being deceived.

The hand that rested against her waist had gone from warm to scorching.The tip of his tongue would sometimes brush over the base of her tongue, leaving Calista extremely uncomfortable. She threw up her hands against his chest to forcefully push him away.The more she resisted, the fiercer Lucian's assault became. She bit down on his tongue a little too harshly and drew blood."Tch."The man grunted in pain and released her.His tongue swept over his lips, leaving an obvious blood stain on it. Paired with his stunning looks, he looked like a fictional noble prince who thrived on blood. It invoked no fear at all.Lucian swiped his fingers against his lips and presented the digit stained with blood to Calista. There's a nonchalance to his actions."See for yourself. Not only did I

Considering Lucian's temper, he might take his frustrations out on her.She was in turmoil. What did Cade mean by Lucian being unable to perform because she reacted far more intensely than a normal woman? He deserved it, right?Also, how could Lucian not be able to get it up? He…Cade had already mentioned that there was nothing physically wrong with Lucian. It was a psychological issue. It seemed she was the only one he couldn't perform with.Neither of them spoke.

Where is your mind wandering off to?"The man's voice had turned husky."I've been holding back for too long. I can't hold back …"Calista hung up the phone before he could finish.

Calista had grown cautious after she learned about Vivian's identity and personality. She had been prepared for unexpected circumstances.Although she couldn't be certain Vivian was gunning for her, a string of coincidences was not good news. It had originally been for emergencies. Calista didn't think it would come in handy quite so soon.Silence fell over the group. Others were throwing her odd looks. What kind of weirdo monitored themselves that way?Calista switched on the laptop she carried around with her. The diadem had been restored three days ago.It was supposed to have been submitted today.
