CHAPTER 100 Loveless

  “I will marry Angela because I have to. But I don’t love her. I never have, I never planned to, and I never will,” Lucien replied earnestly. I guess I was relieved that he didn’t love her.

  “I see. I thought you’re marrying her out of love like how you married my mother. I didn’t think you would marry without love,” I replied honestly.

  “Natalia. Listen carefully…” Lucien said in a low voice as he stepped closer to me to place both his hands on my shoulders.

  “Yes?” I replied.

  “I’ve never married anyone for love,” Lucien stated blandly.

  “What do you mean…by that?” I asked, confused. What about my mother?

  “I won’t be marrying Angela for love, and I didn’t marry your mother because I loved her either,” Lucien stated, clearer this time in order to make sure that I understood.

  “It can’t be…you never loved my mother?!” I gasped with shock. Did he trick her? Why?
