"How is my daughter?" Antonio contacted him this morning at the same time to inform him of the process of transferring all the clan mafia business that he had slowly given.

"So far there has been no problem. Serena is fine, you can entrust your daughter to me. "

Antonio laughed with satisfaction. “Good. My daughter will be fine as long as you don't provoke her. "

Even when Serena caught what she was doing with Anne, the woman didn't react. It seemed the old man was exaggerating his daughter's condition. Serena seemed indifferent and incomprehensible to the outside world. So there was nothing for him to worry about.

The incident had passed about a month ago. Serena has returned to her usual self. Never uttered a word to the people around him. Occasionally answer Lucien's questions with his three signature words. Yes, no and nothing. That was all Serena would say as he urged her to answer.

"You're coming to my party tonight?" Asked Lucien.

"Does not seem. I have something to take care of. "

"Is there a problem?"

"Why are you acting like you care?" Asked Antonio.

"Legally you are my father-in-law." Lucien said, raising his eyebrows.

“Stop that bullshit. You know your marriage is not a marriage as usual. You haven't given up on my daughter yet? ”

This time it was Lucien who laughed. "Why do you think I will give up? Your daughter has never bothered me. "

"Good then. I hope so. "

There was nothing more that Antonio wanted to talk about so the old man turned off the line. Lucien put his cell phone back on the table. Then he walk from his desk to the upstairs. Serena's room.

Serena is sitting on the sofa beside her bedroom window watching a music video from the big screen of the iPad she bought. Lucien walked over to her and sat down beside Serena.

"Serena, have you eaten?"

Serena nodded because she knew Lucien wouldn't leave if she didn't answer his question. But even after she responded, Lucien still didn't move from beside her.

"You know, today I have an event to celebrate something." Lucien watched Serena who didn't take her eyes off the screen. He took the iPad from Serena's hand, causing the woman to react. Serena tries to get the thing back from Lucien. “I'll give it after you hear me talk. You understand?" Lucien insists on Serena.

Serena lowered her arms again and then paused to listen to Lucien.

“There will be many people who come to this house. But I ask you to stay in your room, okay? "

Serena stared at Lucien without saying anything. "Do you understand, Serena?"

Finally Serena nodded. Lucien continued his sentence. “The people who will come later might put you in danger. So, don't leave this room. If you need anything you can call Anne or another maid. You have their numbers all on your cell phone, don't you? "

Serena nodded again.

"Very nice. If you are nice, I will buy you lots of books for you to read. " Lucien gave back his ipad then got up from the sofa and kissed the top of Serena's head before exiting the room.

After making sure Lucien was away from there, Serena laughed. At first slowly, gradually her laughter grew louder. “Ah, this is getting tiring. That bastard doesn't give up easily. "

Serena is no longer interested in watching boybands from her iPad screen. She was getting bored in here and Lucien's words stirred something up in her. "If I was nice, he said? Does Lucien think I'm a child who can comply when promised a gift by him? "

Serena stood in front of a long mirror that revealed herself in her oversized T-shirt and shorts.

Her hair was as usual messy with glasses perched on her nose.

"I'll show that guy the meaning of being nice." A grin rose from her lips.

She walked over to the door to lock it so that no one could enter her room.

Serena ran to the bathroom to take a shower and wash her hair.

After that she saw the line of clothes provided by Lucien. The man is very generous even though she looks creepy. The clothes in the wardrobe are very complete. Starting from nightgowns, home clothes, casual clothes and some beautiful dresses are available there. But she felt that Lucien did not interfere in the selection of the clothes. Maybe Anne chose it for him. Remembering that woman again, made her even more flustered. The pride she had been hiding for a long time slowly appeared and rise again. Anne will know how it feels if she has hurt her ego. But first, she would take care of Lucien first. 

Her hand chose a black dress with a low cleavage. When she turned the dress over, she smiled at the model clothes that did not cover half of her back. The thin strap, which is called the spaghetti strap, only functions as a strap, not to cover her shoulders.

Serena was wearing clothes that draped her perfectly. Showing off her shoulders and back beautifully. Her low cleavage will be enough to make other men curious.

Now it's time to fix her hair with a curling iron, she will curl the lower part of her hair and tie it so it doesn't cover her long neck. As for her face, she wore makeup to emphasize her appearance and applied red lipstick to make it look more seductive.

Serena groomed herself in front of the mirror. The girl knew her strengths well and stood up confidently after seeing the results of her current creative ideas.

The show will start soon.

= * =

She counted the time. The event had been running for more than an hour. She waited for the right moment. And it looks like it is this time.

Serena stepped out of her room and poked her head from above to see the crowd below enjoying the banquet that Lucien had provided. Music accompanies the event. Laughter could be heard from below. They are all entering the peak event.

With a smile and courage, Serena descended the stairs with grace. One by one people who saw Serena immediately stopped their activities to look at the beauty that belonged to that woman. Not many people know that Lucien is married. If any, that person would not have known what the wife of the prospective successor to the biggest mafia clan that Antonio had led.

On her way to the center of the event, Serena is greeted by a man. "Why is a beautiful woman like yourself walking alone in this important celebration?"

Serena turned and smiled. "Oh, maybe because I was waiting for you?" The woman whispered and blinked to make the man satisfied with the response that the woman gave.

"Then I am ready to fulfill your wish." The disgusting man held out his hand to Serena. Serena gave him a quick glance then welcomed the man's helping hand. "I'll show you around."

So apparently the man didn't know that he was the host here. Interesting.

Some of the people he passed were jealous that he was getting Serena's attention. “Guzman! Stop your behavior and bring that beautiful woman to us. " Shouted someone not far from his current walking position. In the crowd Serena sees Andrew. The man then hurried to the end of the table, where Lucien sat.

Serena had seen Lucien reading the situation or maybe the man was just dumbfounded by what she was doing. Andrew arrived beside Lucien to tell him what he had just seen but Lucien raised his hand as Andrew was about to open his mouth. Lucien had seen it all since Serena came down the stairs.

Serena threw the same smile at Lucien before turning her head back to the man Guzman had called her friend earlier. Serena pressed her body against the man then whispered in Guzman's ear. "I'm bored in here."

Guzman must have been dumbfounded by Serena's words. He thinks Serena is interested in doing something else with him in a quiet place. "You want to come home with me?" Asked the man in response to Serena's complaint.

Serena could see the mist of passion in the man's eyes. She knew Guzman was already thinking about sex with her somewhere and that his reaction made Serena happy. "You want to take me away from here?" Serena teased, playing with her fingers on the collar of his shirt.

Guzman wrapped his arms around Serena's waist making a crowd of men sigh enviously at the sight. Guzman's arrogant nature was satisfied by people's reactions so the man continued his action, bowing his head toward Serena to taste her seductive lips.

Unfortunately, before that man felt it, he had already been pulled away from Serena by someone. Serena didn't have to look to find out who did it because she was sure that Lucien was the one who pulled Guzman and then beat him repeatedly without stopping.

Without the slightest surprise on her face, Serena watched the two of them fight. But, fighting didn't feel right because from what she saw right now only Lucien took Guzman off. The man, on the other hand, lay beneath the massive body of the raging Lucien.

Even though Serena knows Lucien is a deadly man, but during her marriage with him Lucien has never been rude to her. Maybe because all this time the man thought that she was crazy and needed pity. But it seemed that after this incident, that man's attitude would change towards her. She was waiting for the man's reaction after this incident. She hoped Lucien would give up and return her to Antonio.

After Lucien was sure the man was unable to move. He got up and left the stupid bastard. then looked around the room. "If anyone touches my wife again, your fate will be the same as this useless human!"
