Aveline glared at him furiously. "Where did you take Selena? Lucas, our issues are between us. Can you not drag others into it?"This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Lucas sneered. "What right does she have meddling in our affairs?"

Aveline was trembling with rage.

Lucas, however, didn't want to argue in public. He dragged her out of the mall and forcefully shoved her into the car.

Aveline struggled. "Lucas, let Selena go!"

Lucas held her shoulders firmly and said coldly, "If you want release her, you'd better behave and satisfy me. Then I'll let her go."

Aveline looked at him, feeling as if he was a stranger.

Once inside the car, away from prying eyes, Lucas' expression remained icy and grim..

Aveline tried to calm herself. "Lucas, today was my fault. I shouldn't. have slapped Miss Chew or spoken to her like that. Can you please let Selena go?"

Her quick submission didn't bring Lucas any satisfaction.

He stared at her intensely. "Is divorce the only thing on your mind?"

Aveline's eyelashes fluttered, but she said nothing.

Anything she said would only anger him.

Lucas, frustrated by her silence, tugged at his tie, trying to release. his pent-up emotions.

The atmosphere in the car grew stifling.

Aveline was both angry and sad, but with Selena in Lucas' grasp, she

couldn't express her feelings.

She felt like crying.

How could she have fallen in love with such a cruel man?

But the most important thing now was to save Selena.

"Lucas, please let Selena go. I won't interfere with your affairs anymore. Even if I see you with another girl, I'll avoid you. Is that okay?" Her voice was soft, almost pleading

Lucas' expression darkened further. "How generous of you."

Aveline said, "Isn't this what you want?"

Lucas stared at her. "You have no idea what I want."

Aveline opened her mouth to respond but found no words.

Even if she asked, she couldn't give him the answer he wanted.

The car fell silent again.

Aveline asked softly, "What do I need to do for you to let Selena go?"

Lucas replied, "Anything?"

Aveline's eyelashes trembled, and she whispered, "Anything."

Lucas chuckled softly, then suddenly grasped her chin, his thumb brushing over her lips. His eyes grew darker. "Then use this to please me." Hearing this, Aveline looked at him in disbelief.

Lucas raised an eyebrow. "What? Didn't you say anything?"

Aveline's body trembled, filled with shock. She never expected him to make such a demand.

Even when they were at their closest, she had never imagined this, and he had never asked.

She couldn't accept it.

Instinctively, Aveline turned her face away.

Lucas stared at her, his gaze cold and deep, without saying a word.

Aveline bit her lip slightly, hesitating for a long time before asking, "If I do this, you'll let Selena go?"

She didn't trust him; she needed confirmation.

Lucas seemed to see through her thoughts and said coldly, "Aveline, you have no choice but to trust me right now. She's in my hands, and whether I release her or not is up to me."
