"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 sat in her car, her hands trembling slightly as she closed the door. Her heart was still racing after the unexpected encounter with Ricard at the cemetery. Today had turned out far better than she could have imagined, and the success she had achieved left her almost unable to believe her luck. For a moment, Emma nearly screamed in excitement, but she quickly composed herself, taking a deep breath to stay calm.


　　"I can't believe it… everything went so perfectly!" Emma muttered to herself, her eyes sparkling with joy. But the thrill quickly gave way to a strange sense of anxiety. She began to reflect on the words she had used to impress Ricard. Everything she had said about the harp, about her supposed experience and deep understanding of the instrument… it was all "hot air." The truth was that, while Emma knew a fair amount of theory about the harp, her practical skills were at a beginner level. She had never truly mastered the instrument as she had led Ricard to believe.
