-Lucy’s POV-
I blinked my eyes a couple of times trying to figure out if I was dreaming or not. Here in front of me is the man that I have been searching and longing for a year now, but he seems a bit different now. There is this distance between us and the tenderness in his eyes that gave me comfort once is gone. He took my hand and kissed it gently. “Nice to finally meet you, my lady.” I felt the same feeling when we first met. He sent thousands of bolts inside making me blush. However, he is acting as if he doesn’t know me. Could it be that he has forgotten about me? I bowed down and responded “Nice to finally meet you as well, Mr. Lowell.” He smirked upon hearing me call him by his last name. “My future wife calls me by my last name, how rude.” I was flabbergasted. Since when did this man learn how to tease? “I-I am sorry I didn’t mean it that way.” He took a sip from his glass of red wine while eying on me. “I’m Conner, my future wife.” My face became redder and hotter by the moment. “S-stop calling me ‘future wife’ I-I don’t feel comfortable with it. Call me Lucy.” He turned his back will sipping his wine and blurted out. “I’ll call you whatever I wish to call you, my future wife.” I didn’t notice that my whole body was trembling. What has happened to this man? He has become so arrogant. Where is the man that I knew a year ago? Seeing what has transpired uncle Jack butted in. He placed his hand on his nephew’s shoulder and said with firmness, “I will leave you two behind. Conner, remember what I told you. Please get to know each other.” He tapped Conner’s shoulder before leaving us behind. There was complete silence. I had so many questions in my mind, but I couldn’t utter a single word. I couldn’t but let out a sigh and said, “I need some fresh air, excuse me.” I left before Conner could even respond. I wandered around and found myself sitting in the mansion’s garden. I am happy to see Conner alive and well after searching for him for five months until I decided to move on with my life. However, I can’t help but feel sad that the man I love is not the same man I see now. I was staring at the stars trying to conceal my sorrow when a man sat down beside me. “Hey there miss!” This man spelled drunk all over his face. “I have been eying on you since you entered the hall.” He crept near me and brushed his fingers on my arms. I felt goose bumps all over my body. I hurriedly stood up, but he grabbed my wrist before I could even escape. “Hold on there! I’m not done yet!” His gripped tightened. “Let me have a taste of you.” I tried to pull my wrist, but held me even tighter. “Let go of me you pervert!” He held my arms and immediately pulled me near him. He licked my earlobe and whispered, “Me likey. You are making me really hard down there.” I tried pushing him away, but it was of no use. “LET ME GO!!!” I screamed like crazy hoping that someone will hear me, but the garden was way far from the hall and the music inside makes it impossible for somebody to hear me. I struggled so hard, but the man managed to rip one sleeve of my dress exposing my chest. As I was trying to escape from his grip I stumbled down which allowed him to be on top of me. Oh God! Help me! I was crying and pleading for this man to stop. “Please, don’t do this. I beg you, sir. Please.” The man made a mad-smile and touched my bare chest, pulled down my bra revealing my breast. His other hand was about to go under my skirt when a man kicked the drunken pervert from behind. The pervert’s face on the ground face front and was off me. I quickly stood up and fixed myself to see who saved me. To my surprise the man who saved me is the same man who saved me a year ago, Conner. “What the f***?! Who kicked me?!” The pervert was getting up to face the man who kicked him. “What do you think you are doing Alex? You seem to be forgetting that you are inside my house!” Conner spoke in a calm, but dangerous manner. Alex who realized who was talking nervously scratched the back of his head and said, “Hey there, Conner. Geez man I was just trying to have fun! That lady looks like a delicious meal can’t I have some for dinner? Loosen up will you? Little missy and I are enjoying ourselves.” Conner looked Alex in the eye “You are messing with the wrong person Alex. Don’t you dare touch my wife again!” Alex turned pale. “Y-your w-wife? I-I am so sorry Conner I-I didn’t know that she’s y-your w-wife.” Conner grabbed Alex by the corner “I don’t want to ever see your face again. LEAVE! Or else I will let guards drag you out from here!” Alex scrambled to leave the house. I was speechless. The new Conner is truly powerful. I was staring at him when he faced me. He must have noticed the ripped sleeve that he took off his blazer and placed it around me to cover my bare chest. I was too embarrassed to look at him after what happened. “Thank you.” I whispered. “Let’s go inside” His response was cold, but I didn’t dare refuse. I was just looking down while walking when somebody deliberately hugged me. “Oh thank God I finally found you! Where have you been?” I looked to see the face who is too familiar to me. “Nick, what are you doing here?” I can see the worry in Nick’s eyes. “I followed you here. I was just talking to your mom when I lost sight of you. Where were you?” I was about to respond when I got interrupted “Is he your boyfriend?” I bit my lower lip. I almost forgot that Conner was right behind me. I was looking at the two men in front of me. They were looking at each other like they were measuring their strengths through their eyes. I opened my mouth until I finally found my voice. “Nick, I already told you that we will talk about this some other time. Please, don’t make a scene here.” Nick was still staring at Conner as he held my hand and said, “I think it is time for us to go home.” Conner smirked and placed his arm on my shoulder, “You may leave. I can take it from here.”
