Harper has a proud glint in her eyes as she speaks. It's just as if she has just discovered something no one else could have ever discovered. But not feeling satisfied yet as Helen and Mr. Howard don't seem to have been convinced, she quickly takes a deep breath, looks over at Helen, and says mischievously, "I won't be surprised if they were the ones that made him be there at the right moment to save you!""Mum! What nonsense are you spewing?!" Helen can't take it anymore, she yells contemptuously at Harper and glares at her. Despite the fact that she is angry with Lucian as she feels he lied to her, she couldn't just stand her mother accusing him wrongly! Like, how could she even think of such a thing? She is being outrageous and it is so infuriating!"What nonsense am I spewing?" Harper tilts her brows disconcertingly and a cold gleam flashes in her eyes. "According to what I and your dad heard, Dani and Mickey took you to a remote area! Have you thought about what this lad was doin

"What?" Lucian's jaw drops. She didn't just do that right? Helen didn't just kiss him, right? He is frozen in place. Everything happened so quickly. He can't tell if it was real or not.It had to be my imagination, right? Yea, it had to be. It didn't really happen. He shakes his head about to shrug it off but on second thought, just to be sure it was his imagination, he touches the spot Helen kissed him and his pupils instantly dilate when he feels the wetness of her lips right there on his cheek.He runs his hand through his hair as a flush spreads across his face! She did, in fact, kiss him! Helen Howard kissed him! Never in his wildest dreams did he think such a thing will happen to him, but it just did! She kissed him! Him, Lucian Wood! The same guy Laura cheated on and chose Seth over!Adrenaline rushes through his veins down his loins, his dick jerking in his pants. He can't recall the last time he was kissed. His body is reacting strangely. His blood is suddenly boiling. It's a

"First and foremost, there is nothing like heroes! The world is nothing like the movies and novels you watch and read. It's far more intense," he pauses and tilts his head as if in thoughts and after a while shrugs his shoulders as he says, "Well, even if there are indeed heroes in this world, someone as useless as you will never be one, so wake up from that ridiculous nightmare. Lastly, I can't answer that question in the way you probably wish because I can never be in your shoes. Never! "See, punk, you may be more powerful in martial arts than we are, but we are more powerful in wealth! This is the 21st century! And you should know money speaks volumes more than everything else! So, if you dare lay a finger on us, you should have it at the back of your mind that our families will not let you get away with it! You're just a riffraff; how will you survive it if that happens?"A menacing glint flashes in Lucian's eyes as he asks, "So it's normal for you two to harm others because you

Mickey, who'd been about to take a step, freezes in shock. "What are you talking about? Didn't I pay you for my freedom just now?!" He asks loudly and somewhat rudely."What freedom?" Lucian looks at him with a tilt of his head. "I don't know what you are talking about because as far as I can remember, you only compensated me for everything you guys scattered in my apartment. How does that relate to freedom?"Mickey feels like he is about to crazy. What?! Is he being serious right now?! He runs his hands through his hair and glares at Lucian contemptuously. "Don't be sly!" He snarls. "I told you how we could settle the problem at hand by me offering you money and asked you if you are willing to accept it and you said sure. How then can you be saying this? Don't try to joke with me!""You asked if I was willing to accept the money and I told you "sure, why won't I?" But before you handed the card to me, did you ask if I was willing to let you off as well? No, you didn't!"You freely off

Screams. That is all over the room. Mickey can't stop screaming. He has just had his second wrist broken. He is in so much pain.His face is scrunched up and he is drenched in sweat. He doesn't look like the usual arrogant Mickey anymore. He is in a pitiful state."I told you to willingly do it, but you chose to follow Dani! See, he ran for safety and left you behind. Is this who you call a friend? Is this who you listen to?" Lucian says icily as he begins prowling toward Mickey."No, don't come any closer. Don't come any closer!" Mickey cries out hysterically, crawling backward with each step Lucian takes.Seeing that Lucian is immersed in getting to Mickey and that that has made the entrance door clear for him to run, Dani smiles widely. Yes! He got all he wanted all along. Who said he doesn't bear grudges as he told Mickey? Of course, he does!Mickey could have begged for their freedom, but he chose to be selfish and beg for his alone. That was why he decided to come up with a plan
