"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

　　Anna sat down on the sofa, the discomfort and irritation in her heart still lingering. She glanced around the living room, her eyes skimming over the paintings on the walls and then to the expensive piano in the corner. She couldn't stop thinking about Ricard, about what he might be doing, and why he was making her wait so long.


　　As these thoughts swirled in her mind, Anna's gaze suddenly fell on the paper bag she had received from the delivery man. A thought crossed her mind: *"Should I see what's inside?"* Her natural curiosity, mixed with a hint of jealousy, began to rise, urging her to take action. She reminded herself that, as Ricard's fiancée, she had the right to know everything about him, especially anything that could affect their relationship.


　　*"He probably wouldn't mind. Ricard and I are getting married after all. Even though he's outwardly cold and meticulous, he surely wouldn't care about this with me,"* Anna muttered to herself. *"Yes, I'm his exception!"*
