The night was getting later, and the atmosphere was getting quieter. Only the sound of clockwork could be heard filling the vintage-style room, which was dominated by beige colors. On a king-sized bed lay a man who could not close his eyes, despite repeated attempts. Kent stared at his wedding photo, which was framed in a large frame covering part of the wall. It showed him and Velarie smiling happily on their wedding day. Kent was 22 when the wedding took place. Kent rose to his feet and walked over to the photo. He gazed sadly at Velarie's face, for deep down inside there was another woman who gave him a unique thrill. "I'm going to convince myself that these flutters are caused by guilt, Velarie. You needn't worry; I promise not to take another woman after you." Kent's eyes closed. He took a deep breath before letting it out slowly. For the sake of his promise to the late Velarie, Kent intended to prove that his feelings for the girl he had just met were merely guilty. Ken

Eryk frowned at his two best friends, who left in a hurry. The man turned his head to the right and left sides of his body, but Kent's touch on his shoulder made Eryk realize this. It was his father's hardened face that made his two best friends leave abruptly. Eryk snorted. Kent had come at a bad time. Judging from the way Kent looked at him coldly, it seemed like there was going to be serious talk between the two. The middle-aged man took a seat on the sofa next to Eryk. The man inhaled and exhaled repeatedly to calm himself down; he didn't want to talk with explosive emotions. As he was about to walk up the stairs to his room, Kent unintentionally overheard the conversation of the three young men in the lounge. Eryk's plan to make Lucia a toy and Eryk's obsession with taking the innocent girl's chastity infuriated Kent. "Just tell me if you have something to say." Eryk said, then took a sip from his glass. "That girl wants you to come visit her in the hospital," said Kent, loo

Silence fell after the three servants left Linda's room, leaving Kent standing still and Lucia sitting on the edge of the bed. Each of them was reluctant to open the conversation until Kent cleared his throat and a sentence escaped his pink lips. "Do I need to take you to the hospital again? I see the bruises on your face seem to be increasing." Kent said flatly, with both hands clenched in his pants pockets. He hated himself at the moment. Again, his heart was beating at the wrong time. "I don't think it's necessary, sir. I can go to the clinic myself later." Lucia replied, and she smacked her lips afterwards. The wounds from the incident a week ago had not yet fully healed, and someone had hurt the girl again. Even so, Lucia was very grateful that God had brought Kent in as her helper at that time. Not only was her body injured, but the honor at the bottom of her body would have been shattered if Kent hadn't stopped Eryk's madness against her. "Sorry, I almost forgot to thank you

From a distance, Kent smiled with relief at Lucia, who was smiling broadly as she stroked her full stomach. But in the next minute, he frowned questioningly when he saw Lucia put a cell phone in her ear. Whose call is it? The ringing of the cell phone made Lucia quickly reach for the flat object that was the source of the sound. The phone's often black screen lit up this time, displaying Eryk Orlov's name as the calling party. Lucia was delighted, but a moment later she felt uneasy, remembering the violence she had experienced some time ago. Should the girl pick up Eryk's phone? "Hah, I'd better pick up. It's possible that he regrets his actions and intends to apologize this time." Lucia smiled as she picked up Eryk's call. "Hello?" greeted Lucia, the girl's eyes closing as she wished silently. "Lucia? Where are you?" A man asked from the other end. "Ah..." Lucia sighed in disappointment. What she heard did not match her expectations; it turned out that Eryk did not apologiz

Lisa smiled with satisfaction as she awoke from sleep to find the face of the man she had fallen in love with when she first opened her eyes that day. She ran her fingers over Eryk's bare chest, which was firm and slightly hairy. But shortly after, the ringing of her cell phone caught her attention. Reluctantly, due to the sleepiness that still lingered, Lisa got up to pick up Eryk's cell phone, which seemed to be screaming at her to answer the call. Lisa picked it up from the nightstand. The girl's eyebrows immediately knitted together when she found Lucia's name as the caller. Lucia? Could it be that the one currently calling Eryk was Lucia, his biological sister? Or perhaps another girl who happened to have the same name? A series of questions filled Lisa's head. But whoever the woman named Lucia was who was currently calling her boyfriend, the girl still did not accept it, as a feeling of jealousy took over her. So Lisa opened the call log on Eryk's cell phone to match the numb
