"You know I’m using you, don’t you?"
"Yes, but I’m willing. I’m willing to be a pawn in your hands," Ricard said, his voice softer than ever.For four years, Lucia had only one thing on her mind: revenge. She loved the man in front of her, but so what? That love meant nothing compared to the deep-seated hatred in her heart. 
Her father’s death, her mother’s insanity, and her family’s hospital being taken over — how could she let go of such a grudge?It was she who seduced him, approached him with all kinds of schemes to make him love her, all because he was the fiancé of the person who caused her family’s misfortune. And he, he loved her so much that he would do anything for her. His strength, intelligence, and resolve seemed to vanish completely before her.Perhaps the only thing he was lucky for in this life was being of value to her.

In Love With The Hot CEO

　　Emma stood silently on the sidewalk, her eyes following the silhouette of Ricard's Bentley Continental GT as it gradually disappeared into the night. She picked up her phone and unlocked the screen. Instantly, the screen lit up with numerous notifications, missed calls, and messages from Jackson, all brimming with anxious concern. She scrolled through each message:


　　"Emma, where are you? Why aren't you answering?"


　　"Are you okay? I'm really worried."


　　"Call me back as soon as you see this, please."


　　"Is something wrong? I can't be at ease not knowing where you are."


　　Each message was brief, but filled with worry, as if Jackson was trying to stay calm but couldn't hide the anxiety in his heart. The number of messages and missed calls made Emma feel a bit guilty for causing him such concern.
