Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Man I Shouldn't Have Loved: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

"Did you circle it because you thought I'd forget?" said Lucian lazily from behind me, which made me jump. I accidentally drew a stroke on the calendar.He came up to me and hugged me from behind, rubbing his cheeks against mine."The graduation ball is an important event. How could I forget about it? My first dance will surely be yours. I even prepared a huge surprise for you."I broke off from his embrace and smiled a little. "I prepared a surprise for you, too."Lucian did not notice my out-of-the-ordinary reaction. He patted me and said dotingly, "You and I think so much alike! By the way, will your brother come to your graduation ball?"My heart skipped a beat.As I gripped the corner of the table, I looked up and asked him calmly, "Do you want me to invite him? I thought you didn't like him?"Lucian lowered his gaze to look at me with a complex emotion in his eyes. "He and I have been fighting each other for so many years. I don't want to accept defeat, but I have no choic

Lucian looked at me. He hesitated a little, as if he wanted to say something further, but in the end, he quietly started the car. Silence hung thick in the car. I closed my eyes as my mind was in a mess.Suddenly, the sharp screech of brakes tore through the air. I suddenly opened my eyes to see our car in the opposite lane and a truck coming toward us! My eyes widened in horror.Lucian turned over and hugged me tightly in his arms.With a loud thunderous crash, our car flipped over. The world spun in a blur. The last thing I felt was warm blood before everything turned into darkness.When I came around, I was lying on a bed in the hospital. Lucian was sitting by the side of the bed with a thick five o'clock shadow on his face. He seemed to have stayed awake the entire night.He was delighted to see me waking up."Nina, you're up! Oh, thank goodness." Lucian was so excited that he clasped my hand and cried.I remembered Lucian protecting me before I passed out. That… touched

Lucian rushed in with a murderous gaze. He kicked down the homeless man closest to me.I was shivering so hard, and I passed out.When I woke up, I realized I was in a bed in a mansion. Outside the door, I could hear Lucian's friends grumbling."Lucian, didn't you agree to Wendy's plan to film Nina being assaulted by those homeless men and then distribute the video together with her videos? That way, her reputation would be rotten. Aaron would be hurt!" "Why did you change your mind? You even asked us to throw those homeless men into the sea."At that moment, I almost fell from hearing what they said. I never expected that they were the ones who planned for the homeless men to assault me!…Lucian's expression darkened, and he remained silent.Finally, someone asked, "Lucian, don't tell me you have feelings for Nina? She's your enemy's sister!"Lucian's expression turned ugly. He kicked the table away and barked, "Everyone, shut up! I don't like her! Just get lost! Don't come

What Lucian said stunned everyone.He continued, saying openly, "I think playing the videos now isn't enough of a revenge. I plan to play it on our wedding day. That's going to hurt Aaron more."Then, he headed into the hall, where he had already decorated the place for a proposal.He looked at the bouquet and frowned. "She doesn't like pink flowers. Change them to blue."He added, "Once she says yes, release transparent balloons. She likes them romantic."He took an intricate ring box out from his pocket and opened the box. A huge diamond-studded ring lay inside."Do you think she'll like the ring?"Everyone gasped when they saw the ring."Wasn't this ring owned by a princess? This costs a few hundred million!"Lucian said nothing but kept the ring back in his pocket. His friends started to look worried."Lucian's act is getting too real. Something feels off."One of his other friends shook his head. "Yeah. We better not mention the videos anymore. I suspect he's doing this

I walked out to the arrival hall with my luggage. I looked up and searched around, spotting that tall figure in a quick moment.There Aaron stood, in a tall black coat.I felt a warm current flow through my body and quickly walked over to him.He smiled at me and pulled me into his arms."I'm an adult, Aaron. There's no need to pick me up."Aaron was my father's adopted son, but he never once allowed me to refer to him as my brother.He ruffled my hair and replied, "To me, you'll always be a kid."Getting in the car, the nervousness and exhaustion of the past few days finally vanished. I slumped lazily in the passenger seat.Aaron asked inquisitively, "Nina, how old is your ex-boyfriend? Why did you break up with him?"That caught me off-guard, not expecting him to go into such details.I did not want to answer, so I sat in silence, fiddling with my fingers.He said helplessly, "You had a boyfriend without telling me or your father. Once we found out, you didn't even let us
