Since She Met Lucian

The bedroom was finally quiet, much to Amelia's relief. Her heart had started beating a mile a minute when she saw the cold look on Lucian's face. Her ivory-colored face flushed like a porcelain doll.

Noticing that she clenched her fists tightly, Lucian figured she might have become way too nervous. So he put on a smile and said, "They've already left."

"Uh..." Amelia answered softly. She opened her eyes wide and asked anxiously, "Where are the photos? Give them to me!"

She reached out her tiny hand toward him, looking petite and small as if she was a doll. She had her eyebrows knitted together, which made her difficult to take seriously as she only looked like an angry child.

"I am very helpful and this is just the start. Plus, if you agree to become my wife, I'll keep these photos and I promise you that no one else is going to see them." Lucian looked at Amelia and flashed her a knowing smile.

"What did you just say?" Amelia collapsed and shouted. "You bastard! Stop trying to fool me just because you're attractive! You brought me back to your home against my will! Your family doesn't know the truth. Who knows what they could be thinking of me? You made me look bad! What did I ever do to you?"

With a straight face, Lucian said slowly, "I saved you last night and you were being ungrateful. Thank God I was smart enough to come up with this. I love these sexy photos of yours."

All of a sudden, Amelia grew quiet. Her smile disappeared and she felt something twinge in her heart.

She thought to herself, 'I must have been a terrible person in my past life. That's the only explanation for all of this bad luck.'

"You're Lucian Zhan, right?" Amelia said, raising her head, tears still streaming down her face. She couldn't believe a handsome man like him could treat her like this. He was practically threatening her. "Well, first, I'd like to thank you for the kindness you showed me last night. As for the photos, well, I don't really care anymore..."

she said, averting his gaze.

As she thought back to Jasper and what he did to her, she felt herself weakening. But she didn't have the strength to even care about it anymore.
