Aveline paused for a moment, processing his words.Lucas stood up and said, "I made a little breakfast. What else do you want to eat?”He was being a bit too considerate.Aveline walked straight to the dining area and saw the table set with pancakes, scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and a side of fresh fruit.Lucas making pancakes early in the morning? She couldn’t quite picture it."No need," she replied. This was more than enough.Lucas sat down beside her, and they began eating together....After breakfast, as Aveline headed out, she suddenly noticed something new near the doorway, close to the corner of the wall. She glanced up and saw a camera.Noticing her gaze, Lucas explained, "That's the visible camera. There's also a hidden one. Give me your phone."Aveline looked at him suspiciously. "Why?""I'm going to download an app so you can view the surveillance footage on your phone," Lucas said.Hearing this, her skepticism faded, and she handed him the phone.After a few quick taps,

"I don’t want it," Aveline refused flatly.Lucas popped the candy into his own mouth and remarked, "It's not that good."Aveline just stared at him and said nothing.If it wasn't good, he could just not eat it!His little interruption distracted her, and she didn’t look back up at Russell on the stage.With the emcee guiding the ceremony, Rina appeared, dressed in a flowing wedding gown with a veil that obscured her face. When the moment came for the groom to kiss the bride, Russell lifted the veil and leaned in. Whether he actually kissed her or not was hard to tell.Regardless, the room erupted into thunderous applause, filled with congratulations and best wishes.As the ceremony ended, the toasts began.Aveline's phone vibrated repeatedly. She leaned over to Lucas and said, "I need to go to the restroom."Lucas looked at her with concern. "Want me to go with you?"Aveline raised an eyebrow. "Are you insane?"Lucas replied, "I'm worried you might get lost or get kidnapped."Aveline

Russell tightened his grip on his wine glass, then, after a brief pause, let out a low chuckle. "Thanks for the advice, Lucas. I’ll be sure to keep that in mind."Lucas' narrowed eyes lingered on him for a moment, but as someone came over to exchange pleasantries, Russell turned and walked away...."So tired," Selena muttered as she slumped down beside Aveline, sipping on a glass of juice.Aveline looked at her in confusion. "What did you do?"Selena sighed. "Danced. Aaron, that idiot, insisted on dancing with me. I told him I can't dance, but he kept saying he'd teach me. In the end, he failed to teach me, and I nearly trampled his feet flat."Aveline couldn't help but laugh, then asked, "So, things between you two are still steady?"Selena nodded. "So far, so good. I haven't felt the urge to break it off yet."Aveline smiled. "If you're not tired of him, stick with it. When you get bored, find someone new.""Hey, that’s not something you should say," a voice interjected.Aaron appro

"I feel so uncomfortable... so hot..." Aveline’s soft murmurs came from behind him. Russell turned around and saw her restlessly shifting on the sofa. Her fair skin had taken on a flushed, pink hue, looking temptingly like a ripe peach.Russell hurried over and patted her face lightly. "Aveline, wake up. Aveline?"But she grabbed his hand, pressing it against her cheek as if trying to use the coolness to soothe her discomfort. It wasn’t enough; she pulled his hand lower, seeking relief.Russell's breath caught in his throat, and he quickly pulled his hand away. She had been drugged!She wasn’t in her right mind, acting purely on instinct. If she woke up and realized something had happened between them, she would be devastated, and she would never want to see him again!Russell got up and rushed to the bathroom. He soaked a towel in cold water and came back, placing it on her forehead.The cool sensation seemed to calm her down; her movements grew less frantic.Taking advantage of

The soft mattress trembled as Lucas' breathing grew heavier. His voice was husky and strained. "Aveline, when you wake up, you can't deny this happened."Aveline didn't hear a word he said, her actions frantic as she kissed him with abandon.Lucas' voice grew even lower and rougher. "If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."A night of passion ensued.The next morning.Aveline opened her eyes and found herself in an unfamiliar place. She jolted upright, her heart racing. The blanket slipped from her shoulders, and a chill spread across her chest. Glancing down, her face instantly turned pale!Her memory of last night stopped at the moment when Russell had said she had been drugged. She couldn’t recall anything beyond that.But the current situation spoke volumes—had she been with Russell?Oh, God!How could this happen?And yesterday was Russell's wedding day!She…Aveline stared blankly ahead, tears the size of beads suddenly streaming down her face, her complexion as pal
