"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

　　The host, a distinguished gentleman in a black suit, took to the stage with a professional smile. "Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed philanthropists, and dear friends, welcome to the charity auction for the Rose Orphanage, organized by Ms. Emma Thompson."


　　Applause filled the room, and all eyes turned to Emma. She stood at the back of the hall, feeling her heart race in her chest. Emma took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves. Her jade green evening gown hugged her figure, enhancing her fair skin and striking blue eyes. Her chestnut brown hair fell in soft curls over her slender shoulders, complemented by sparkling diamond earrings. She looked like a gem shining amidst the crowd.


　　The host continued, "We are honored to have with us tonight Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, renowned philanthropists, along with their son, Ricard Anderson, and the talented researcher Ms. Anna Williams."
