SHATTERED AND TEMPTED의 모든 챕터: 챕터 171 - 챕터 180

My hair stood on end from what I saw. Cad showed me a lot more things that really surprised me... Does that mean Aiden already found me from the beginning? Why did he only show himself this year then?"Maybe, he's waiting for a perfect chance for that. People like him are not ordinary people, Crescent. I'm planning to have his license revoked, but it turns out he can live and survive without it. He's from a filthy rich family. Their family is well-known in the underground society. He's powerful, but well, not as powerful as me... He can do illegal stuff too."I couldn't even pay attention to him boasting. I couldn't take my eyes off the things he's showing me now."He intentionally bumped into Luca last week, that's why Luca got a wound on his arm. He's also been watching Luca and knows what's happening. Luca is not really weak, but for the past 6 years, he's at his weakest moments, that's why we're the ones watching over him... I'm not saying this for you to break up with him. I just

Cherry looked at me, gesturing for me to tell her the story later. I just rolled my eyes and nodded."Baby Vanna, you can go to your room now. You can take a shower by yourself, right? We'll go to you later, us adults just need to talk about something," Cherry said when Vanna finished eating."Yes, Tita. I love you," Vanna said and kissed her aunt's cheek.Cherry seemed to playfully pinch Vanna's cheek. "I love you too, baby girl. You're such a cute little kid."Vanna also approached Cashiel and Clyde. Cashiel kissed her cheek and hugged her. Clyde kissed his niece on the forehead and lightly pinched her cheek. After saying goodbye to all of us, Vanna went to her room."So... what's your plan, you two?" Cherry asked us after Vanna had left the table.I was the first to answer. "Well, our plan is to both take on the role of parents to Vanna. We will support each other as Vanna's parents. Tomorrow, we will also have Vanna's birth certificate and other papers fixed, and we will put Luca'

LUCA "You're smiling like an idiot, Falcone. It's kinda creepy," Asher said while playing with his gun.I didn't pay him any attention. I kept staring at the stolen picture of Havannah on my phone. I secretly took a picture of her while we were playing with barbies... My daughter is the cutest; she's really beautiful just like her mother."What's the plan? We're fucking wasting our time here," Raven DeLuca said and tilted his head.He's always impatient. For me, Raven is the most troublesome member of Nexus. He kills people for enjoyment. He enjoys killing people; he's often called "Nexus’ psychopath" by other underground organizations. For him, seeing the blood of the people he kills is entertaining. He also often disobeys his role in operations, which is why our new leader, Liham Candreva, keeps a close eye on him. He's not an official member but he became the leader because of his capabilities. He knows how to handle all of us."We're still waiting for the other members," Zach sai

I was nervous and uneasy the whole day that I was with Aiden. My fear intensified every time he got close to my daughter and looked at me as if to intimidate me. I just tried to act normal in front of Vanna even though I was so scared... Every minute I was with him, all I felt was fear.I couldn't bring myself to think that he was the man I managed to love... He was so different from the Aiden I used to know.I couldn't take my eyes off my surroundings while we were having a picnic. Aiden tried to act like nothing was wrong between us. He acted like the Aiden I used to love before, but I didn't feel anything aside from fear... I was scared for my daughter."You don't seem happy today, Cres."We were on the veranda after I put Vanna to sleep. I still couldn't breathe properly because of the fear. I didn't know what to do anymore... I really wanted to ask Luca for help, but I didn't want to endanger my daughter with a wrong move... I'll wait for the right moment.I flinched when Aiden s

"H-Huh?" That was all I could say."Huh?" Luca said, also sounding confused, as he came to his senses.I just blinked as we stared at each other, as if we didn't know what to say. I scratched the back of my neck and looked away from him."You w-want to live here?" I asked."D-Don't get me wrong, Crescent. It's just temporary. Until Vanna and I become completely close. Don't worry, I just want to be closer to her. I don't have any other plans in mind, just that," he explained.I just smiled. "You're being too defensive, Luca." I chuckled. "Don't worry, I trust you and your intentions."Luca smiled and scratched his nape. "Thank you, Crescent... If it's not okay with you, that's fine too. I won't force you if you're not comfortable with it... Choose the decision that you're comfortable with, hmm?" He smiled at me. "If you agree for me to stay here, I won't do anything else but take care of Havannah. I'll focus on her while protecting both of you from any harm. I will clean the house, I
