"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

　　Emma opened her eyes again, the white light from the hospital ceiling reminding her where she was. She could feel the heaviness and pain from her bandaged fingers, but something else hurt even more—Jackson. This time, he was truly angry with her, angrier than ever before. She had been injured, hospitalized for two days, yet he still hadn't come. A deep sense of sadness and disappointment welled up inside Emma, weighing down her heart.


　　Jackson had always been the most important person in her life, but his absence now made her feel like the distance between them had grown too vast.


　　Opal, sitting beside the bed, looked at Emma with sympathy. She could see the sadness on Emma's face and tried to lighten the mood.


　　"Emma, don't worry too much," Opal said softly, her voice full of comfort. "Jackson not being here doesn't mean he doesn't care about you. He might just be busy with something important. I'm sure he'll come soon—it's just a matter of time."
