Chapter 111_ Marry Me

“Thank you,” Kate said quietly.She lowered her head and tightened her hold on the teddy in her arms. “I didn't realize how much I wanted this kind of birthday until now. I was so happy that I didn't even think about them.”Lucas didn't have to ask who Kate was talking about. From the sadness that had now appeared in her eyes, he knew she was referring to her parents.He reached out and turned her by the shoulders slowly until her back was pressed against his chest. Then his arms came around her from behind, embracing her as he rested his chin on her shoulder.Lucas just hugged Kate from behind without saying a word. He knew her well enough to know that she needed no words to comfort her.Kate stayed still in his arms, allowing herself to bask in his warmth and the comfortable silence that now surrounded them.They stayed that way for a long moment until Kate broke the silence. “Do you own this place? It is nice,” Kate said, her eyes looking ahead at the garden as she rested her back

When Lucas pulled away from the kiss, both of them were breathless. “I need you, Kate," he rasped, his breath hot against her cheek.The way he said her name, low and husky, made Kate shiver in anticipation. "Then have me."Lucas's eyes burned as they raked over her face. He slid his hand around her neck, tilted her head up, and kissed her hard. Then his lips moved to her neck, leaving a trail of burning kisses on every exposed part of her body.Suddenly, Lucas froze when something occurred to him. He stopped what he was doing and brought out his phone, his fingers tapping on the screen as he sent a message.‘Turn off the cameras and clear the premises. I want everyone out of the estate!’ Immediately he hit send, the phone slipped from his hands and dropped to the floor beside him.Lucas didn't look down; his mind was already clouded with Kate. He turned back to her and aggressively kissed her again, caressing every inch of her he had access to.Kate mirrored his excitement, unable t

Morning light streamed through the room, bathing the sheets in golden light.Kate stirred softly in her sleep, her eyes peeling open at the dawn of a new day.She stretched lazily on the bed and let out a soft yawn. Then, she turned her head to the side, and a smile spread across her face when she saw that Lucas was still asleep beside her.Wasn't this the first time she was waking up before him? Kate thought as she propped herself up on one arm and simply watched him.Lucas slept soundly beside her, snoring softly, and Kate just watched him, following the line of his jaw with her gaze, memorizing him. ‘He had undone me last night, and now he sleeps like an angel,’ she mused, recalling their passionate moments yesterday and how Lucas had pleasured her using his tongue and hands.Kate blushed deeply at the memory, suddenly feeling aroused by the thoughts in her head.She gently removed the sheets covering their bodies, and as her eyes fell on Lucas's morning erection, Kate swallowed h

Chapter 114_ Twisted Ways

“What do you mean she’s no longer in the hospital? Who allowed her to leave?! Where is she now?” Julian barked at the receptionist, slamming his palm on the counter.He had reached the hospital a moment ago with Erick and Ace, who had insisted on accompanying them because he wanted to see Kate, too. When they arrived at the hospital, they went straight to Kate’s room but were surprised to find it empty.Julian had immediately left to find the receptionist to inquire about Kate’s whereabouts, only to be told that she had been discharged. He had been so eager to see Kate to reveal the truth to her, and now? He couldn't find her.The receptionist frowned. Why was he yelling at her? How was she supposed to know where Kate was taken? Her job was to check patients in and out, not to track them down like some private investigator. Despite her inner thoughts, the receptionist knew she couldn't afford to offend someone like Julian.Thus, she swallowed her bitterness and looked up at Julian. “H

The moment Kate and Lucas walked through the door, Ace immediately rushed toward them. He stopped a beat before them and pulled Kate into his arms.“Thank God you're awake! I'm glad you're okay. I missed you,” he said, hugging her tight.Kate smiled. She hugged Ace back and tapped his back twice. "Thank you, Ace. Thank you for being by my side and not leaving me alone,” she said, referring to the night Lucas had gone berserk. Ace had been the one who stayed with her and comforted her.Lucas scowled at them. “Get your hands off my wife before I break them for you,” he snarled, moving to pull Ace’s arms away from Kate.Kate giggled at his actions while Ace scowled back at Lucas.Lucas ignored him and stood in the middle, creating distance between them.Ace rolled his eyes and shifted away from the couple. "Where have you been? Uncle Julian has been looking everywhere for you. We even went to the hospital together to see Kate, but we were told she was already discharged. Where did both o

Chapter 116_ The Truth

Lucas’s expression filled with worry the moment he noticed Kate’s reaction, and almost immediately, his chest tightened once again.He stepped closer and placed his hands gently on her shoulders, turning her to face him. “What’s the matter, Kitty? You look pale,” he asked softly.Kate slowly raised her trembling hand and pointed at the car. “That car…” she whispered. “Why is it in your garage? Who owns it?”Lucas glanced at the car before looking back at her. What was happening? Wasn’t it a new car that his uncle had just gotten for her? Why was she talking as if she recognized the car from somewhere?Confusion clouded his face as he looked at her. “Honey,” he called gently. “The car is for you. Uncle Julian got it as a gift. That’s the surprise he was talking about.”Kate’s lips curved bitterly. Yes, she was surprised, but not for the reason Lucas thought. Judging by the confusion on his face, she knew he had no idea what that car meant.She shouldn’t be asking Lucas about the car.
