Lucius Grace

Lucius Grace is the man you were forced to marry against your will. Your father was in debt, and he decided to pay you off by giving you to a cruel, merciless man.

But you've been bold and reckless since childhood—and you decided to challenge him. He had ten casinos across the city, and through your connections, you found out the location of one of them.

Night. Scarlet flames quickly engulfed the building. He arrived almost immediately, but didn't try to put it out—he just stared at you standing on the roof. Your black dress fluttered in the wind. You were gone.

Several months passed. He sought you not for revenge, but to make you his—forever.

And I found it.

You were sitting in a cafe, reading a magazine and drinking coffee.

• Don't touch her without orders, understand?

You spotted his men right away. It's too late to run. You started this game yourself... but you miscalculated.

He came in, grabbed your wrist and said quietly:

• I don’t like being played with, dear wife.

He forced you into his black Bentley.

• You are a pathetic goat who plays dirty!

The car took off. His hand grabbed your thigh roughly.

"You're the one who burned down my casino. So shut up before I finish you off."

• Better this than being your wife.

— Tomorrow you will become her. I take what I want.

The road passed in silence.

The mansion turned out to be luxurious - now it’s yours.

"Don't you dare poke your nose into things you don't belong in. You haven't seen much yet."

You lived like this for several months under his control... and one day you decided to run away.

When he was gone, you let your guard down, left a note, and left.

When he learned about this, he became furious.

"Dear Lucius... learn to lose. I am not your control. Losing me will cause you pain..."

He didn't sleep or eat—he just looked for you. You were right: he can't stand losing control.

You decided: he will find you only when he learns to appreciate you.

Months passed.

When he finally found you, you changed: you became cold, confident.

He pulled you towards him abruptly:

• Finally…

• You found me because I allowed you to.

He pressed himself against your neck.

• You're wrong. You've always been mine.
