Arman’s POV It made my heart skip a beat when I saw her lips shaking so much that her eyes were almost in tears. Then she walked upstairs while holding her chest. I was confused, so I followed her upstairs to find out what was going on. Moments later, someone grabbed her, and I knew it was my enemy's son. He was about to shoot her with a silencer, but I pulled out my gun and shot the man in front of Lucy. I know it will shock and traumatize her, but I have to do it to save her. “Calm down!” She looked at me like I was a monster and said in panic, “Get away from me!” I tried to calm her down and hold her together, “Lucy, it’s me, Arman!” “I know who you are! So stay away from me!” she gritted her teeth angrily and disgustedly pushed me away. She ran away from me. I tried to catch up to her, but she was already in the crowd. Camila saw me coming and called out, "Arman! Get your act together, because the cops are on their way!" I looked all over but couldn't find her. I cal
LUCY'S POV"Seven months…" The doctor answered while he took my vital signs and wrote something on his paper. “W–What?” Finally, he looked over at me and said, "Yes, you've been in a coma for seven months."Looking at him with bated breath, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I already called your husband to come check you out." He then left the room.I shut my eyes and remember the horrible night they tried to kill me. Even now, I can feel the bullets going through my body and hear their laughter echoing in my head.I yelled out in a shaky voice. "N--No..." I grabbed the bed sheet in fear, and when the door opened, I saw Arman standing in front of me. My eyes went wide, and my mouth fell open. Having both hands in his pockets, he observed me looking at him and frowning angrily. “Arman….” “Lucy…” “Seven months?” He nodded his head, “Yes, seven months.” I wiped away my tears, “Oh…” "I know you're mad at me. You hate me and how much you want to hurt me." he said in a deep voice.
Lucy’s POVArman was a little confused about what I just said to him, so he leaned forward and asked, "I beg your pardon—I'm afraid I didn't catch what you just said to me." I smiled derisively as I said, "Well, As much as I want you to suffer, I still owe my life to you—you saved me from death." "Lucy, seven months ago, the doctors were about to give up on you, but I didn't. Go ahead and hurt me because of what I did to your family if you want to. I am certain that my actions were justified.""Why didn't you just let me die?" I asked through tears."Because, technically, you are my wife. I have to keep you alive until the deal ends. Stop thinking that I care for you." He gave a straight answer.“I hate you.” “The feeling is mutual, Lucy.” With an angry look on his face, he walked ferociously upstairs, turning away from me. I took my eyes off him and grabbed the water glass to drink. Then I thought, "Why does he have to make me hate him so much?"Suppressing my wrath, I inhaled de
Lucy’s POVUntil we heard a knock on our door, his mom's voice, "Arman, are you there?" I gasped in shock, kicked Arman in the balls, and glared at him. He moaned in pain and closed his eyes while biting his lower lip. "F*ck... Do you want to kill me?" I quickly smirked and stuck out my tongue to make him even more annoyed as I ran to the bathroom. His expression turned somber, but he had to open the door nevertheless; his mom was waiting for him.“What’s the matter?” “Your father wants to give this to you.” Sofia said. I pressed my ear to the door to hear more of the talk, and his mother added, "Anyway, I have to go now, but before you forget, you have to clean up the mess you made with Thomas Davis." "I won't renew their contract with us; what's wrong with that?" "Listen up, Arman Romano. I'm your mother, and I'm the daughter of a former Mafia Lord. This is nothing new to me, but as long as you're the new Mafia Lord, you must follow my orders for at least a few more months bef
Lucy’s POVAfter what Arman did to me, I felt like I couldn't move a muscle. I couldn't help but wonder how long he could go without cumming before finally giving in.As I pondered that, a flush spread across my cheeks, and an overwhelming desire to drool over him washed over me. I slapped myself and bit my lower lip, telling myself, "Stop dwelling on him." I was too tired to do anything after being so ravaged by him in bed. But as I tried to get up, the door opened, and there he was with a tray of food. "Hey..." he said as he put it on the bed.I rolled my eyes at him and grabbed an apple, “So, you bought groceries already?” “Nah, I told Ray to buy food for us.” he said with a smile. “Uh, okay.” I smiled softly. He watched me eat the food in front of him while sitting in the chair. The thought of someone looking at me while I ate made me feel so uncomfortable that I turned my attention away."Can you just go away?" "No, I enjoy staring at my pet." I threw the apple at him whil
Lucy’s POVI sat back in the car, my hands were shaking with shock, pain, and anger.The person I thought would protect me from pain was actually making it worse. I took a deep breath, clenched my chest, and gulped, "Sh*t..." Arman climbed back into the car and told the driver, "Drive." He wasn't even brave enough to look at or talk to me after what happened there.On our journey to the villa, he remained silent, letting out a heavy sigh as he averted his eyes from me and cast them toward the window.When we went back to the Villa, Enrique stood there, expecting Arman. Enrique was going to say something, but when he saw how disappointed I looked, he shut his mouth and watched me go upstairs. "What happened to your wife?" "Don't worry about her." Arman replied. I opened the bedroom's room and slammed the door shut.***********************As everyone else got ready for the next day, I stood in front of the mirror and stared at how terrible I looked. Sofia walked in and said, "Oh
Lucy’s POV The second her gaze met mine, Jane's reaction froze. "L—Lucy, is that really you?" Jane asked uncomfortably, her mouth slowly opening. Vianne stepped forward and scrutinized me from head to toe, “It’s really you.” and she whispered in my ear, “How did you survive?” I smiled at her, “Maybe I should be the one who asked how you guys survive after all this time?” "What are you talking about?" Angela asked in response as she scowled at me. "Obviously, we had nothing to do with that assault on your life. That was Thomas." "And you can't do anything with it anymore," Cristelle said with a soft laugh. "We told your husband about him already, and guess what? Thomas is already locked up." My lips trembled as I asked in confusion, "Jail?" I thought Arman killed him the other day. "Yes, you heard it right. Thomas is already in prison," Jane replied while slowly shaking her glass of wine. And she smiled sweetly at me, "But if you came here to spite me. Don't bother doing i
Lucy’s POVMy heart was so heavy that I cried the whole way outside. It was so lonely, and I felt like no one cared about me, so I thought I was going crazy.The rain started pouring down as I crossed into the walking lane. I felt awful about myself, but I had to keep going. I stood in the middle of the road for a short time while tears slowly ran down my cheeks, but unexpectedly, someone grabbed me out of the road and hugged my small frame. My eyes suddenly widened as I saw it was Arman. He dragged me to the corner of the road and asked, "What are you doing? Are you planning to kill yourself?" "N–no." I then pushed him away and wiped my tears away. My evening gown was drenched, yet I couldn't help but shake as I gazed at him, as if he were in tears under the heavy downpour. He asked, "Do you hate me so much that you have to stand in the middle of the road to kill yourself? What would happen if I didn't save you? You never know what might happen to you!" I threw the wedding ring
