Chapter 3 Love At First Sight (1/2)

The next morning, the room was washed by the bright sunlight. The beautiful morning in the luxurious villa was awakened by a rush of footsteps.

”Mr. Lucian, Mr. Lucian, wake up!” The butler tried to wake up Lucian who was still in a deep slumber. After staying up late last night, Lucian struggled to open his eyes in the morning. Yet, eyes half-open, he could spot the middle-aged man sitting in the wheelchair with a solemn face.

”Lucian, what are you doing?” A sharp female voice broke the silence of this morning and woke up Amelia who was still suffering from hangover.

”Oh my God! My head hurts.” Amelia touched her head and sat upon the bed. Slowly she opened her eyes and was dumbfounded. Amelia looked around to explore the unfamiliar setting. She felt rather intimidated to be surrounded by a middle-aged man and woman. With much difficulties Amelia found her voice back and said, ”Where am I? Why am I here?”

Her words made all the heads in the room turn towards her. They looked more surprised than she was.

”Lucian, who the hell is this woman here with you?” The middle-aged woman moved a little closer to the bed and pointed at Amelia with her finger adorned with green jewels. She continued angrily, ”I warned you that you couldn't marry any woman other than Shelly!”

Amelia shuddered to see the woman enraged. She remembered that she had drunk too much last night, but she did not remember what happened later. When she looked up at the man next to her, she was caught off guard. Amelia could not take her eyes off Lucian. She was deeply attracted by his handsome face. His impeccably chiseled face needed no embellishment. The man was so cold and stone-faced that Amelia held her breath. Amelia marveled at how handsome he was!

”Mom, please don't make a mountain out of a molehill. I just...”

”Then why didn't you go home last night?” Just as Lucian started to explain the situation, he was interrupted by the middle-aged man in a wheelchair.

Lucian frowned as he felt uncomfortable, but could not find a way out of the situation. He pulled the already surprised Amelia into his arms and said righteously, ”My girlfriend got drunk last night. She would be panicked if I leave her alone.”

Amelia got pulled into a forceful embrace which left her mouth agape. Not knowing what to do next, she frowned unconsciously and fluttered her long eyelashes, wondering why this strange man called her girlfriend? Or she had drunk so much last night that she had lost her memory? So much so that after waking up, she had become some other man's girlfriend!

”No, I am not! HMM...” Amelia cleared her throat and was about to deny when her lips were blocked by something ice cold.

For a moment, like lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, Amelia's head went blank. The terror in her heart rose like a wave and then, formed a thousand waves.

What the hell was going on? People always said that things would be messed up after drinking. Amelia had never anticipated the kind of mess she had landed in. Amelia bit his tongue, trying to escape his kiss.

”Ah...” A painful voice came from Lucian’s mouth. Anger filled his eyes.

Amelia pushed Lucian away and roared angrily, ”Bastard!” when she saw the pain on Lucian's face. Then, Amelia wiped her lips disgustedly and cursed in her mind, 'What a shame! He's so decadent!'

”Honey, stop it. I have taken care of you for the whole night. I am so tired!” Regardless of the pain of his tongue, Lucian put his arm around Amelia's shoulders. Then he said in a low voice, ”I took a picture of you taking off clothes last night. If you dare to move, I'll make you repent for it!”

”You!” Amelia suddenly widened her eyes, grabbed Lucian's arm and asked, ”What on earth did I do last night? Tell me.”

As much as Amelia could remember, she was at the bar counter drinking her heart out. But what happened after
