"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.

　　Ricard paused, setting the knife down, and looked directly into Anna's eyes. His gaze was filled with uncertainty, as if he didn't want to face this conversation. "Anna, I understand that," Ricard replied, his voice gentle but tinged with defensiveness. "But you know, our work is very demanding right now. There's so much to take care of, and I don't want the wedding to become another burden."
