A Love Trap

The joy was evident in Lena's eyes. 'Now that Ashley is married, Raymond is mine. Ashley, you are no match for me. You're doomed to be a loser and will always be inferior to me, ' she snickered from within.

"Raymond, what happened to your hand?" Lena asked as she gaped at his hand.

There were several stains of dried blood on his hand that Raymond had clenched into a fist.

He had headed straight to the Mu family's house after meeting Ashley. Preoccupied with his ex-girlfriend's marriage on the way, he had paid no attention to his injured hand.

Raymond followed her gaze to the wound on his hand. Since Ashley had refused to divorce her husband, he had been so furious that he hadn't even felt the pain. But as Lena brought it up, he felt a stab of pain in his hand.

"Don't worry. It's not a big deal," he replied.

"You should be more careful," Lena said with a frown. There was a trace of reproach in her voice.

She turned to a maid and instructed, "Kathy, go get the first aid box."

"Please let me take care of your wound, Raymond," Lena said, a pleading note to her voice.

Raymond nodded.

A few minutes later, Kathy came back with the first aid box. She walked up to Lena and politely said, "Miss Mu, here it is."

Lena grabbed Raymond's arm and pulled him so that both of them were seated on the couch. She carefully took his injured hand and started cleaning the wound.

As Lena lowered her head, a wisp of smooth hair fell over her face, blocking her sight. She tucked the hair behind her ear and continued to clean the wound. Raymond sat quietly, observing her. She had a pair of big eyes and rosy lips on her small, fair face.

Lena was pretty, but Ashley was stunning. That was one of the reasons why Lena detested Ashley so much.
