Obsessive CEO’s Sinful Wife

Chapter 162

Chapter 162 She remembered reading in gossip columns about how much Lucas used to shower Lyra with love, how she could land a leading role in any film she liked, how any director who did not get along with Lyra would Instantly get replaced with a different one, how he would rent the entire hotel, even if it was the most expensive and luxurious hotel in Solaria, if Lyra wanted to have a birthday party in it… With such treatment from Lucas, it was no wonder that everyone thought Lyra would soon be marrying into the wealthy Gomez family. Yet, who would have thought that, in the blink of an eye, things would take such a dramatic turn?! No matter how Lyra begged for his mercy, Lucas showed absolutely no sign of sympathy for her. To be more precise, there seemed to be no sign of emotion in his eyes at all-not for Lyra, nor for Serenity! While it was true that right now Lucas seemed to be taking Serenity’s side, the way he looked at her was nothing but distant and aloof. It was as if no one could truly ever get close to this man. Some might be able to stay by his side for a while, but it seemed that no one could ever get close to his heart. Seeing that she was getting nowhere by begging for his mercy, she quickly turned her attention to Serenity and said, “What I did just now was all my fault, so I’m begging you, please be kind and just forgive me. Please… Please help me beg for Luca s’s mercy! Please! He loves you so much right now! I’m sure he’d do whatever you ask!” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

What Lyra feared was not that Serenity might slap her to vent her anger. Instead, what she truly feared was Luca s’s displeasure. She was anxious that after the slap, she might forever be banned in the entertainment industry. Serenity turned to Lyra and said, “I think you’re mistaken. I’m not his girlfriend, so don’t waste your time begging me.” After that, she looked up at Lucas and told him, “She slapped me once, and I’ve slapped her back, so we’re even now. I don’t need to slap her anymore.” “Is that so?” Lucas responded in a flat voice. No one could guess what he felt from the tone of his voice.

“Mr. Gomez,” Serenity added, “thank you for the meal and your hospitality. I’d like to get home early today, so please excuse me.” After she was done speaking, she walked right past him and left. Lucas watched quietly as Serenity walked away from him. Once she was gone, he finally turned toward Lyra, whose face was completely drained of color. At the moment, Lyra was misty-eyed and on the verge of tears. Her lovely face now looked pitiful due to her panic. Lucas gently brushed the corner of her eyes with his fingertips and asked, “Are you going to cry?” “Lucas,” she hastily told him, “I just love you too much and I don’t want to lose you! I know I was too impulsive today, but… but I promise it won’t happen again.” “You love me too much?” Lucas asked in an expressionless voice. “Yes… Yes, I love you! I love you so much! Lucas, you’re the only man that I’ll ever love for the rest of my life. Let’s not break up, okay?” Lyra’s words were punctuated by her sobbing. Tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls, making her look heartrendingly woeful. Nevertheless, there was no sign that Lucas was moved by it at all in his expressions. All he did was utter in a cold voice. “But I never loved you.” Lyra’s whole body stiffened. Amidst that, she could hear him add, “And I’ve always hated women who like to cause a scene.” It was such a simple sentence, yet Lyra’s body shook like a leaf upon hearing it. She knew that in the past, Lucas had an ex-girlfriend who always caused a scene, and she had heard Lucas say those exact words before with her own ears. Not long after he had said that, the ex-girlfriend had then vanished from the entertainment industry. Her management company had completely abandoned her, and all the directors in the industry refused to work with her. Then, she had ended up with a lot of debts, so much so that she was forced to flee the country.

Even now, Lyra had no idea what had become of her, but she doubted that there was any happy ending for that woman.
