"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.

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 trembled in Jackson's arms, tears streaming down her cheeks, one after another, without end. She could no longer hold back, the fear from the nightmare along with the lingering pain in her heart spilling out uncontrollably. Emma felt like a small child, helpless against the harsh world, and only in Jackson's embrace could she find some comfort.

He softly stroked her back, occasionally patting it lightly, as if to calm the storm of emotions raging within her. Every time Emma sobbed, Jackson would whisper words of reassurance, his voice steady and calm, creating a sense of peace.


　　"It's okay, Emma," he said, his voice warm and gentle. "I'm here now. Everything will be alright."
