"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

　　At the hospital, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson were enjoying a pleasant conversation with Emma and the children. Not long after, they spotted Anna approaching from a distance, walking quickly toward them. Her face was tense, but she tried to mask it with a forced smile.


　　"Anna? You're here?" Mr. Anderson asked, surprised. "We thought you had an important meeting about your research project today."


　　Anna took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. "Yes, I've already wrapped it up, so I wanted to come help you both," she said, attempting to smile more naturally.


　　Mrs. Anderson looked at her with suspicion. "You finished the meeting so quickly? That project is very important."


　　"Yes, I presented the key points. I wanted to spend time with my *family* and the children," Anna said, emphasizing the word "family."


　　Emma stood nearby, pretending to be surprised. "Anna, what a surprise to see you here. I thought you'd be busy with your research."
