Lucy’s POVHe kept waiting for me night after night in the dark, clearly eager to see me. Unfortunately, my stubbornness got the best of me, and I still refuse to let him in or see him just yet. I've been home from the hospital for a week now, but Arman was still desperate to win back my trust and love.As for me, I'm just standing here at my window and looking at him without any guilt. He didn't give up. Every day, he was there waiting for me to bring him inside. I shut the window and let out a soft sigh. Then Cecille asked, "Miss Lucy, are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine." I replied with a half-smile. Another day later, I observed his black vehicle parked outside my house. "Yes, there is a car in front of my gate," I told the cops. "Please do everything you can to ask him not to park his car in front of my gate. Thanks." After calling the police, I went to the kitchen to drink a glass of milk. Cecille told me, "Miss Lucy, you have some fruits and vegetables in the fridge. Do
Lucy’s POV"Did I not say I wouldn't give up on you? I want to court you until you say yes to me and forgive me." I was frozen in my stare, unsure of how to respond. Because he was so stubborn, I closed my eyes and massaged my temple.I also find him very annoying! "Would you like me to call the police?" I took out my phone and was about to call 911. He then took a step back and said, "No, I didn't come here to bother you. Actually, I'm your VIP customer. My hotel needs all of the fresh flowers delivered tomorrow because of a big event. Are you sure you can make it tomorrow?" "Ha-ha, you're funny," I told him as I put down my phone. "Actually, Arman, my secretary will talk to you because I don't have time for your nonsense." I continued on my way, but he remained close behind. I paused and turned to face him; I nearly slammed into his chest, but thankfully, he halted. I took another step back, looked up, and asked, "Why are you following me?" He hesitated and said, "I really
Arman’s POVDespite my efforts to hold her, she struggled to stand up straight and said, "I—I'm okay." She tried to move away from me as if being so close to me made her feel bad. But at that very second, she tripped and blacked out in front of me."Lucy!" I shook her gently and caught her fragile body. Then her driver came up to us and said, "Sir, let's take her to the hospital."I nodded and picked her up to put her in the back seat. I held her head in my lap and stared at her blankly.When it came to her, all I could think about was keeping her safe and making sure she'd be okay no matter what.When we got to the hospital, my phone rang, but I didn't answer it because I was watching my wife be taken inside.The doctor said, "Wait here, Mr. Romano." “Of course.” I said calmly. And the next time my phone rang, I irritatedly answered it and exclaimed, "What?!""You couldn't yell at your mom!"Hearing my mom's words made me feel better right away. "Sorry, I thought it was someone e
Arman’s POV"Is that the fifth time I've told you to stay away from her?! I am your boss, so you have to do what I say regardless of how you feel about it! I showed Edward the finger because he looked like he would never follow my orders. "From what I understand, you don't have the right to tell me what to do!" Edward said with a soft sneer. I grabbed his collar and pushed him against the wall, saying, "She's mine!" "REALLY?! DO YOU THINK SHE'LL CHOOSE YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN?! LOOK AT YOU NOW; YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE THE GUTS TO STAY CLOSE TO HER!" he growled back. "Shut up!" He coughed and groaned in pain in the corner as I kicked him in the gut. I was going to hurt him no matter what, but my dad stopped me and said, "Arman, that's enough!" "No, I'm not done yet," I told my dad as I looked at him. "I will not rest till I have eliminated this jackass!" "That's against the rules!" It is your responsibility to ensure the safety of your team! How could you be so crazy and wild for just
Lucy’s POVJane forcefully shoved me aside and glared at me as if she truly wanted me dead. She then fixed her hair and asked, "Why would I be afraid of someone like you? You should stay where you are because you are a loser. Otherwise, if you cross that line, I'll do something terrible to make your life worse again.""Then let's play dead or alive, Jane," I said with a soft laugh and leaned forward to whisper in her ear, "Thomas may be alive or dead. The answer is unknown. But do you think you can win this game?” I could see the rage in her eyes as she stared at me, but then she nodded and blurted out, "I don't want you to be there at my wedding tomorrow! It's just a matter of fact! So, I hope this message is clear to you, Lucy."She then turned away from me and walked away. I laughed because I planned to attend her wedding just to upset her. I'm not finished with her yet; she should have tasted her bitter medicine at least.As I whirled around to get a shovel and fertilizer contai
Lucy’s POV"I don't understand why you bring this up again, Arman." I shook my head and stared at him angrily.When he gently lifted my chin to meet his gaze, I felt a flush go down my cheeks. He then said those magic words, "I love you...""What?" I took a step back, but he drew me near enough to him."I love you, Lucy," he said in a gentle voice.My eyes sharpened in confusion as I asked, “What are you talking about?” “I know that it was already too late to say this. But I love you…. Do you believe me?” he asked, begging me to believe him but in fact I have confusion whether to believe him or not. I swallowed nervously because I could feel his lips on my cheek. I looked up and parted my lips to say something, but he grabbed my lips and kissed me fiercely and tenderly as he owned me. My eyes widened as he deepened the kiss until I found myself kissing him back. Then I nibbled his lower lip and pushed him away, "So, you didn't file the divorce finalization to the court? So we're st
Lucy’s POV"I lost count," he said in a soft voice, avoiding eye contact with me. Even though he probably felt ashamed to say it in front of me, I can't tell him to stop killing people; that's his only way to make it in the underworld. "Just so you know, I don't judge you," I said as I walked toward the door.And he stood up to stop me, “I’m sorry…” As I lifted my eyes to meet his, I looked down at the hand that was clutching my wrist. And I said, "I'm sorry, but I think we're both ready to move on. You should file that divorce finalization in court, alright?" “How many times have I told you that I won’t give up. Lucy?” he said, his voice becoming grave again, like he was pleading with me the whole time. "Arman, I can't give you a chance. Do you know why? Because I won't even let myself get over what happened. It still bothers me, from the day my Dad died to the day I almost died—those people still living their best lives while I'm here miserable." My voice trailed off as I wiped
Lucy’s POV"What about this dress?" Cecille suggested while pointing towards the high-slit emerald bodycon dress. "Thank you, it looks so nice," I told her with a smile. "This might work. Please call Alicia." She smiles and nods, "Of course. What do you want me to say to her?" "Tell her to get everything ready, like the bride's bouquets and the special video at the venue." "All right, Miss Lucy." Cecille gently shut the door, and I started getting ready for the wedding, which starts in an hour.After putting on my simple makeup and dress, I left the room with a sly grin on my face. Tonight's plans are going to be crazy, but I'm looking forward to getting even with my enemy. “Max! Let’s go.” My driver slid open the door for me and I sat in the backseat with a smile on my face. Cecille grabbed all my things also and she sat next to me. “You looked so happy today, Miss Lucy.” I answered, “Of course, it’s my cousin’s wedding day!” We arrived at the location just as the wedding
