"Y-you want to kill them?"

"Yes, if there is a chance! Maybe I will hire a contract killer and ask them to bury the bodies of my wife and her new lover in the middle of the forest so that no one will discover their whereabouts even until their bodies are only bones."

The anger and resentment was so strong in his voice, Ruby could feel it. He felt very sympathetic for what happened to Lucien. But on the one hand, he felt that there were similarities in the stories between them.

"May I ask you something?"

"Of course!"

"Why was your wife able to sell your house and go out with another man? Where were you at that time? Didn't you live with her so you didn't know she sold your house?"

"I was away for a while and when I came back I didn't see him in our empty house. I looked for him and I found him making out with someone I know."

"I'm sorry if what I said offended you, but why did you leave? Did you leave without telling him? Your wife may have been looking for you, she may be desperate because she didn't find you. Didn't you say something to her?" Ruby started to get emotional because the longer this story sounded very close to her story.

Lucien smiled bitterly with a bitter look in his eyes. He knew that Ruby was getting hooked by his story.

"I called her one last time and told her I'd be home soon."

"But you never came home?"

"It took quite a long time for me to be able to return home. There were many things that happened and there were so many things that I had to sacrifice to be able to go home and return to him."

"But your wife doesn't know everything you sacrificed, does she? She doesn't know because you don't tell her!"

"I just want him to wait for me like he always said that no matter how long, even if it takes years, even if it takes a lifetime, he will still wait for me. But why only for a moment, he just gave up?"

Ruby's body trembled, she tried not to shed tears. But it was very difficult for him to endure the tightness in his chest.

That made him think even more about the question Sofia had asked him about what would he say if Lucien came back and saw that he had been living with another man?

"Sorry, you have to see my emotional side!"

"It's fine! There's no need to apologize. I can understand how you feel. It must be really painful to see someone we love, go and live with someone else."

"It's okay! All of that has happened and I don't think I need to remember it anymore. Everyone has experienced failure in life, including romantic relationships."

"But not everyone can move on and really rise from adversity!"

"But you've moved on and started your new life with your lover, right?"

"Yes, we are planning to get engaged in the near future!"

"Oh really? Then I congratulate you!"

"Thank You!"

"How about you?"

"Me? What's wrong with me?"

"Have you moved on from your pain and have a new life?"

"I'm too broken to be able to live a new life."

"Why?"

"Because I love my wife too much! I love her and I really want to see her suffer!"

"Why don't you be happy for her? If you love her, shouldn't you be happy too?"

"My soul has died and flew to hell, there's no happiness left for me to show it. But, if you help me, maybe I'll be able to forget it a little!"

"Why me?"

"Because I'm attracted to you, Ruby!" he said. Ruby was surprised even though that night Lucien had also said the same thing to her. But his passion that night made him not really aware of it.

Her face felt hot and red, she didn't know why she could feel happy just hearing that.

"What attracted you to me?"

"Everything in you! Your face, your voice and your body, I love everything in you."

"But you already know that Victor and I are getting engaged, right? So-"

"Who cares? My wife was taken by another man, so I want to know, how does it feel to snatch another man's lover? It may sound selfish, but I'm starting to believe one thing that in this selfish world only selfish people will win."

Ruby was stunned, she felt uneasy. He was afraid that this would create new problems in his life. He wasn't ready for the price to deal with Victor's anger if he found out that he had come to another man's apartment without his knowledge. But on the one hand, she also felt that she didn't want to reject a man like Lucien.

Lucien got up from his seat and walked over to Ruby who was still on the couch. Lucien knelt in front of Ruby, then touched her face gently, forcing Ruby to meet her eyes.

Ruby was fascinated, she felt a turmoil that she couldn't fight every time she looked into Lucien's eyes. He is too alluring to make any woman any woman will easily fall into his charms.

They kissed and it just happened. Ruby felt a sensation that felt so sweet like cotton candy on her lips and mouth. She enjoyed this sweet taste so much that she had unknowingly fallen into Lucien's arms.

Ruby closed her eyes, she smelled the sweet aroma of vanilla ice cream and it made her feel happy. He lay down on the sofa, undressed without being asked in front of Lucien who was on top of him.

Ruby opened her eyes, she saw the angel's face that made her so fall in love. He felt like he was being enchanted and his soul seemed to be transported to an extraordinary fantasy world.

Lucien started kissing her body gently, the smell of vanilla ice cream was getting stronger and made him want to enjoy it immediately.

"The smell of vanilla ice cream, I want to lick it off!" Ruby said. Lucien smiled a little, he knew what this woman wanted.

"Are you sure you want it?"

"Sure, I really want it. I really like vanilla ice cream."

"I wonder why it's so hard for him to answer my calls?" Sofia grumbled in annoyance at Lucien's apartment door. This was why he had to always come to her.

Sofia was silent for a moment when she sensed the presence of a woman in Lucien's apartment and from her scent, she knew who the woman Lucien was currently with.

"He brought Ruby? You bastard!" he muttered angrily.

Sofia opens the door to Lucien's apartment after pressing the password button to open the door. He stepped carefully, but he saw no presence of Lucien in the living room other than men's and women's clothes and women's underwear lying on the floor.

The sound of the door opening almost startled him. Lucien came out of the room shirtless and wearing only a towel covering his lower body.

"Seraphina? What's wrong?" Lucien immediately called Sofia by his new name because Ruby was still in his room at this time.

Sofia looks really upset and it's obvious that she's really jealous. He didn't understand how Lucien could bring a woman into his house so easily?

"Ruby here?"

"Yeah! He's in my room, what's wrong?"

"How dare you bring her into your apartment?"

"Is there a problem with that? I didn't know that it was forbidden?"

"Why don't you consider my feelings?"

"I didn't know you were coming!"

"Oh my goodness! You really are too much, Lucien!"

"Don't call me by that name now! What's the need? You must have come to deliver a message to me, right?"

Sofia took a deep breath and tried to restrain herself from the anger that was ready to explode. Lucien who realized that could only smile cutely seeing the look on Sofia's face.

He didn't want this to be difficult, so he decided to give this woman a kiss.

"Want to kiss me after you've kissed other women?"

"I do whatever I want, Seraphina!"

"You really have gone mad!"

"Possible!"

"I want you to go with me right now!"

"Where to?"

"To the Royal Casino, several members of the Demon Bloodline will be playing there tonight. They are challenging us to a match."

"They finally showed themselves openly?"

"They challenged us and for starters, they want to fight us at the tables. Me, Sebastian and the other jockeys think that you should be the one to fight them. But Claude doesn't want them to recognize you now."

"So what will happen if they find out about me now?"

"You are our main weapon! And the main weapon still won't be brought out except in a pinch!"

"Okay, I understand! Then I don't have to go with you there!"

"You should come! I have a bad feeling about this. You just have to wait in the car until we make sure it's completely clear."

"I think you're worrying too much-"

“Listen to me! I dealt with them a year ago and just then I could feel that they were strong enough. Never before had anyone dared to openly oppose us like this because they were so afraid of Jayden's strength. But Jayden was too fight a lot and make them able to read your moves and how to fight. Maybe now for them Jayden is no longer a threat. Since they don't know about you and your strength yet, I want you to see the enemies you will face. I'm sure some of them they'll definitely be hanging around the casino, so try to read their strengths so you know how to deal with them later."
