"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.

"I'm waiting for you," she replied, her voice laced with a hint of challenge, as if she were playing a game with rules only she knew.


　　Ricard's frown deepened, not understanding Emma's true intentions. "Waiting for me?" he repeated, his tone skeptical. "For what?"
