Chapter 21_ DIFFERENT

The following morning, there was a knock on Matteo's apartment door. Kate, who had just finished freshening up, emerged from the spare bedroom and asked, "Are you expecting someone?" "No..... Perhaps you are." Matteo replied. "Lucas." Kate whispered, ‘He sure moves quickly.’ Then his familiar voice sounded from outside the apartment. "I know Kate was here last night. Will you open the door or do I have to break it down?" Lucas demanded. Matteo walked to the door and opened it, revealing Lucas and Ace standing behind him. Dark circles under Lucas's eyes suggested he didn't sleep well last night. 'Was it because of me?' Kate wondered. "Kate, you're coming with me. As my fiancée, you should not be spending the night at another man's home," Lucas said with a scowl. "Matteo is my friend," Kate defended. "That doesn't matter. He is still a man," Lucas said coldly, and Kate bristled at his dismissive tone. "She didn't have to go with you," Matteo intervened. "Is that so?"

Chapter 22_ ENIGMA

“She was a master of concealing her genuine emotions, while you effortlessly display yours." Lucas asserted, causing Kate to blush at his unexpected praise and tenderness."I simply follow my instincts, that's all." Kate replied softly, her words causing Lucas's gaze to soften as he gently brushed his thumb down her cheek."Following your heart can lead to heartache, you know.""You wouldn't do that to me though. You understand the pain and betrayal that comes with it." Kate stated, causing Lucas's eyes to widen and look away."Is that why you were hesitant about our plan? Despite having everything to gain, you were reluctant to agree to it."Kate's heart skipped a beat as she carefully chose her words, "You have always been transparent with me about the plan and your intentions."She thought of how Lucas had always maintained boundaries between them, trying to protect her from falling in love. He was true to his word, and she trusted him. He was nothing like Elizabeth.Lucas remained

Chapter 23_ CAPTURED

"Your comprehension of friendship is lacking, isn't it?" Kate observed while Elizabeth lifted her chin in response and inquired,"What does that entail?""Ace aids Lucas due to their friendship, but also because of their working relationship. Likewise, he is here with me solely to fulfill his duties, but we have also become friends." Kate replied."Merely friends... is that so?" Elizabeth gave them an evaluating look, questioning, "So, you don't mind Lucas using you as a pawn in his 'friendship' game?"Kate nodded, "That is correct.""You are a naive young lady, but time will tell who is right." Elizabeth sauntered off, leaving Kate staring after her with disdain."Try not to let her get to you, Kate." Ace interjected."I'm doing my best." Kate responded.They continued to browse through the festival stalls, with Kate eventually purchasing a beautifully handcrafted shawl."We've been out here for quite some time now. I wonder how the deal is going." Ace pondered."Was it supposed to t

Chapter 24_ PRETTY FACE

"Nothing in our world is ever truly simple, Kate," Lucas explained, his tone laced with frustration. "The deal went awry, and some fool on the other side thought it necessary to force things in their favor. At least, that's how it appears on the surface. But with the number of men they had ready to go, I have a feeling this was their plan all along." Ace opened his mouth to speak, but the sound of another car pulling up outside interrupted them, causing everyone to pause. Turning to look out the window, Lucas's expression darkened. "Excuse me," he said curtly before opening the door and stepping outside. Kate wasted no time in following him, with Ace trailing behind. Outside, Wilson and Elizabeth had just arrived at the front of the villa. Kate's blood boiled at the sight of her. Lucas glanced back at them, his gaze cold and unyielding. "What are you doing here?" he asked sharply. Wilson laughed, trying to make light of the situation. "Now, is that any way to greet your savior? No

Chapter 25_ PLOY

Kate discovered Matteo waiting for her alone at their usual meeting spot, his eyes locking onto her immediately as she approached. "Thank you for coming," he uttered appreciatively.Kate could sense the gravity of the situation and decided to cut straight to the chase. "Is it true? Do you work for the mafia?" she asked, her words laced with a sense of urgency.Matteo let out a sigh, his hand running through his hair in frustration. "When I was transferred here from the headquarters, I learned that the police have virtually no power in this town. The gangs reign supreme and control everything. I hate it, but to do any good behind the scenes, I have to maintain a relationship with the local mafioso...including Wilson. It sickens me, but my entire department is under his control," he explained bitterly, causing Kate's heart to sink."But—" Matteo interrupted her, his voice firm as he locked eyes with her."I never lied about my feelings for you, Kate. Despite what you may think, I wasn't

Chapter 26_ DESSERT

The following day, Matteo's caution lingered in her thoughts as she stirred from her slumber and prepared for the day ahead. 'What should I do if Wilson and Elizabeth truly have dark intentions towards me?' She pondered while making her way to the dining area, where she found Lucas already waiting for her. "Good morning, Kate." Lucas greeted, causing her to freeze in surprise at his disheveled appearance. His hair was slightly tousled, and her gaze fixated on the skin peeking out from his unbuttoned robe. 'Oh my, those abs.' Kate gasped inwardly, momentarily lost in her thoughts. "What?" Lucas questioned, snapping her out of her reverie as she averted her eyes with a blush. "N-nothing..." Kate stammered. Lucas raised an eyebrow in response and then shrugged. "After breakfast, we must discuss our plans. I have something to show you." "Plans? Regarding Wilson, or for the upcoming wedding?" Kate inquired. "The wedding, of course. Why would I be discussing Wilson with you?" Lucas s

Chapter 27_ PARASITE

Before Kate could respond to his words, Lucas swiftly grabbed a cookie smothered in vanilla frosting and offered it to her lips, saying, "Here, taste this one." Kate hesitated before taking a bite, her lips grazing against his fingers. The gentle touch sent a flush of warmth to her cheeks once again. "Delicious!" she exclaimed, flustered. Lucas made a sound as if choking. Clearing his throat, Lucas spoke, "You enjoy these cookies, then?" "Yes, very much." Kate replied. "Very well." Lucas commented, turning to the assortment of dishes. "Perhaps one of these..." Kate reached out and grasped his wrist before he could grab a puffed pastry with icing. "You don't expect me to try all of them, do you?" she asked, raising a brow. "Why not?" Lucas inquired. "This is too much for one person to consume, even if they are just samples." Kate pointed out. "Ah, you have a point." Lucas muttered. After a moment of hesitation, Kate mustered up the courage to try another slice of cake she had no

Chapter 28__ He Wanted To Kiss Her!

“I-I- I see. Well, I suppose I should take a hint and not linger where I'm not wanted.” Elizabeth commented and Lucas responded to her. “That's a good idea." He said and Elizabeth left as she glanced back at them as if dazed. Surprising to Kate, Lucas stood up to her in such a way that she couldn't believe. It was like he truly loved her. As Lucas still had her firmly in his grasp, her heart began to race. "Ummm... Lucas," she called out softly. "You wanted to see the car, right?" Lucas responded, avoiding any discussion of his previous behavior. Kate's heart sank as she realized he didn't want to address their earlier interaction. ‘It was all an act,’ She concluded in her mind as she replied to him. "Yes, the car. Right." "Why don't I get permission for us to take it for a test drive?" Lucas suggested, and Kate nodded with a hint of a smile. Before long, they were sitting side by side in the new race car, Lucas admiring the dashboard and running his hands over the steering whe

Chapter 29_ DESIRE

As they drove down the quiet side road, Lucas finally pulled into an isolated lot. With the car parked, he turned to look at Kate. "This place used to be my escape as a teenager," he revealed, "a sanctuary away from strict parents, waiting soldiers, and the responsibilities of being an heir. It may not be exactly as I remember it, but it still serves as a private refuge." The word ‘privacy’ echoed in Kate's mind, causing her heart to beat faster. She couldn't keep track of how many times Lucas had made her heart race today. ‘Why did he choose to share this personal space with me?’ she wondered, sensing a vulnerability in Lucas that he rarely showed anyone else. Without warning, Lucas pulled her back onto his lap, leaning in for another intense kiss. As they settled into a comfortable position, he wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him as if he wanted to meld their bodies together. "Do you like this?" he whispered, his deep voice resonating through her body. Hi

Chapter _30 Haughty Smirk

"Who is it?" questioned Lucas from his office as he heard a knock at his door. "It is me. Is everything fine?" responded Kate. Lucas remained silent for a prolonged period until he finally spoke, "Enter." Kate's heart skipped a beat at his words as she opened the door and stepped inside. She found Lucas at his desk, meticulously polishing his guns. His usually stoic expression softened as he laid eyes on her. "Were you concerned?" he asked her. "Yes," nodded Kate. "Do not fret. I will handle the situation," assured Lucas. "What is your plan?" asked Kate, curious. "For now, gather intelligence," commented Lucas. "With those?" raised one of Kate's eyebrows as she gestured towards the revolvers in his hands. Lucas gave her a stern look as he cocked the gun and said, "They seek to destroy my family, and they may come after you next. I will not allow that to happen. Too many lives and families rely on me." Kate looked at him in surprise, taken aback by his fervent determination.
