"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

　　Ricard hesitated for a moment. He could feel a strange emotion stirring inside him, but his rational mind reminded him to keep his distance. "Emma, it's late. You need to rest so your injuries can heal quickly."


　　She sighed softly, then smiled gently. "I understand. Be careful on your way back."


　　"Alright. Goodnight," he replied, turning to leave.


　　"Ricard," she called out suddenly.


　　He stopped and turned back to her. "What is it?"


　　"I... I'm really glad you were with me tonight," she said sincerely. "It meant a lot to me."


　　He looked at her for a moment, his gaze softening. "Take care of yourself. Sleep well."


　　Ricard stepped out of the room and gently closed the door behind him. As he walked down the stairs, his emotions became more complicated. *Why do I feel like this?* he wondered, but he couldn't find an answer.
