Suffering Brides

The Simplicity of Kiana Touching Lucas' Heart

Seeing the foolish woman just close her eyes and give up, Lucas the flower she had thrown did not hit Kiana. And now Kiana was in Lucas' arms with her eyes closed so tightly. Lucas let go of his embrace to Kiana and looked at the woman who was now slowly opening her eyes.

"You're crazy! Why don't you dodge?” mr. Lucas said in a loud voice.

"I'd rather be hit by a vase than be punished in a room full of insects" Kiana said honestly in a soft voice, but Lucas could hear it so clearly.

Lucas immediately rubbed his face roughly, then said, “I'll get rid of the room! You don't have to worry anymore" Lucas said.

Kiana who heard that was so happy to be unconscious and immediately approached Mr. Lucas and hugged the man's body tightly with her lips that were ceaselessly smiling happily.

“Thank you Mr. Lucas, thank you for never punishing me for going into that room,” Kiana said.

"Hmm," Lucas replied with a sigh.

Kiana begins to realize that she is hugging Mr. Lucas. "Sorry," Kiana said as she was about to let go of Mr. Lucas' embrace, but unexpectedly, Mr. Lucas replied with a hug without distance, which made her even more uncomfortable.

"Stay like this for a while" Lucas asked slowly.

"Be-well," answered Kiana obediently because she wanted to retaliate also for nothing because the woman did not dare.

Mr. Lucas began to feel calm, and the anger over the lies that Wessica had been telling had slowly faded. Is this what's going on? Why did Mr Lucas start to feel comfortable when he was near Kiana, what happened? Why did the woman he once hated so much now make him feel this comfortable? Mr. Lucas couldn't even guess what was in his heart, even his comfort was greater than when Mr. Lucas was with Wessica.

“Did a tornado enter this room? How complicated?" kiana said after Mr. Lucas let go of her embrace. Kiana's bright eyes continued to stare around this work space. "Priced laptops and cellphones just fall apart, they just have to be sold and the money can be given to the less fortunate, isn't it more useful?" kiana said unconsciously now Mr. Lucas was looking at her.

"Ehem", Mr. Lucas's daheman made Liana aware of his words earlier.

"Sorry, I don't want to talk like that shamelessly," Kiana said with her head bowed.

Kiana directly hit her mouth a few times. Mr. Lucas who saw this pulled Kiana's hand. “Never try to hurt yourself because the only one who can do it is me,” said Mr. Lucas with full command.

"Well," said Kiana.

Kiana was enjoying her lunch alone in this kitchen. He had just finished preparing lunch and because his stomach hurt when the woman had eaten before Mr. Lucas went into the room. Kiana even ate under the dining table in the kitchen just in case Mr. Lucas came in and the man couldn't see her.

"It's okay to break the man's words just once. Because if I don't eat I can faint and then who will clean the house" Kiana said, trying to find a justification for what she wanted to do.

The man opened the cloth that covered the table, then he leaned over and saw Kiana sitting under the table with full food in her mouth. Kiana who was chewing instantly choked until the clear liquid filled her beautiful eyes. Mr. Lucas who saw this immediately gave her a glass of water while observing Kiana's face.

The frightened Kiana shook her head without daring to accept the water Mr. Lucas had given her. The authoritative look that God showed now made Kiana unwillingly accept a glass of mineral water and before drinking she made sure that something was going through her head.

“This drink is not mixed with poison right?” kiana asked with a plain face.

"No!" Lucas answered briefly.

Without a second thought, Kiana immediately swallowed the contents of the glass until it ran out. Now Lucas could only believe that this woman before him was truly so innocent.

"I put cyanide in it" Lucas said.

Kiana looked at Lucas, then the woman got up from the table and at the same time Mr. Lucas put his hand on Kiana's head so that the woman's head did not hit the table.

Why try to kill me now? I just got something I wanted from childhood and you want to end my life like this" Kiana said objecting to Mr. Lucas' attitude.

Mr. Lucas crossed his arms in front of his chest and said. “Is their affection so important to you?” ask Mr. Lucas.

"How do you know what I'm thinking? Are you a psychic who can see the past and the future? Kiana asked innocently. "But instead of you finding out about me, wouldn't it be better to dream about Wessica's whereabouts and bring her back and marry her?" Kiana said again.

“She really has no feelings of love for me and only this time I saw a woman who was not interested in my wealth and good looks,” said Mr. Lucas inwardly with a flat face as if trying to hide what went wrong, he thought of the woman who was there, in front of him now.

"I'm just guessing! And next time, be careful when you talk or you'll lose your tongue" Lucas threatened.

"Good sir" said Kiana with both hands covering her mouth.

"Right now answer my question!" mr Lucas' orders.

“Good and the throne are not precious things in my life. I just want to live in a happy family, with a simple life and have both parents who love me for who I am. Kiana still spoke while covering her mouth with both hands.

"I'll give it to you." Mr. Lucas' words made Kiana's head look up and the woman's eyes look at Mr. Lucas's face which is now quite close to her.

Mr. Lucas with a gentle hand gesture instantly pulled Kiana's hand and kissed her addictive lips. Even Mr. Lucas wrapped his arm around Kiana's waist. Kiana who saw Mr. Lucas' gentle demeanor towards him instantly froze in his current position.
