Chapter 0006

My new apartment is expensive and belongs to the luxury class. However, I know it’s not in the same class as Lucas’s. Antonio helped me carry all my things. He was Lucas’s confidant and his driver. Then, there was another man whose name, if I remember correctly, was Ace. He was as agile as Antonio and obedient to Lucas’ orders.

“My Lady, if you need anything, please contact me or Ace; Mr. Lucas has told me so,” Antonio told me, and I nodded. I guess tonight was my first night sleeping in luxury for a long time.

“Miss Alexandra, I am Rebecca who will help you with your needs during your stay here, I will be doing all the housework.”

My eyes widened in surprise, then asked, “Everything?”

Rebecca nodded with a big smile.

“Yes, My Lady, Mr. Cassano asked me to do just that. You don’t have to worry I will do a good job for you,” concluded Rebecca, who looked confident and competent. This woman did look competent, so I nodded and thanked her.

“You will be in the main room; please follow me,” Rebecca said again, and I followed her to the room she intended for me. My eyes widened in surprise at the size of the room, which had significant furnishings such as a king-size bed with a super-soft mattress, a wardrobe with several doors and drawers, and a dressing table with a drawer cabinet.

I entered this room with slow steps. Even around the bed, there was a cozy fur rug. Two-bed lamps are attached to the wall above the nightstand.

“I’ll leave you to cook dinner,” Rebecca said, which made me turn to her and nod. As the door closed, I quickly walked over to the bed and lay half my body on the mattress. My legs hang over the side of the bed. I stared at the ceiling of my new room with a feeling of giddiness mixed with disbelief.

“I’d better get my things organized,” I said as I got up from my current position and started putting my clothes into the closet. However, I was again surprised that Lucas had already filled most of the space in this closet with clothes and other items, such as several pairs of shoes and sandals, women’s bags and accessories, hats, and scarves. Even the Rectangular cabinet drawer Lucas filled with watches, bracelets, rings, necklaces, earrings, and hair clips.

“Wow... I feel like I have my mall here,” I said in amazement. Fortunately, there was still some space left to put my clothes, which were very different in class when juxtaposed with the clothes in this closet.

After neatly storing my belongings, I showered and changed into my sleeping clothes. I tried on one of the pale pink satin sleepwear. Its elegant design and pretty color attracted me. The nightgown had long sleeves and was only knee-length, the cleavage open and downward. My not-so-large breasts poked out a little in this nightgown, which was quite sexy.

Besides, if I’m in a sexy outfit, it’s just me and Rebecca. Lucas definitely won’t be coming here tonight. The smell of Rebecca’s cooking whets my appetite as I open my bedroom door to go out. I moved to the kitchen impatiently and pinned some of my hair with a hairpin with only a few strands loose.

“It smells so good,” I cut off and continued in a small voice because Lucas was already there when I arrived in the kitchen. Sitting at the granite bartender’s table, he was sipping wine. My eyes widened in surprise, and I quickly turned to leave. However, when I turned around, Lucas was already in front of me.

“How did you-“

“Sit down, it’s dinner time,” he interrupted, then his eyes shifted to my cleavage, and I quickly covered it up in embarrassment. Lucas’ smirk made me look at him with a frown.

“What’s so funny? I’m feeling embarrassed right now,” I complained, which stopped Lucas from snickering.

“Come on, let’s have dinner. After that, I want to tell you a bedtime story,” Lucas said, again confusing me. Lucas walked away from me and returned to his seat. I reluctantly followed him and tried not to care about my current appearance. I sat in the chair next to Lucas, the one with the high legs.

“You don’t have to feel embarrassed by me anymore. Haven’t I seen everything? We even shared the warmth of that night,” Lucas says, which makes me instantly embarrassed; I reflexively pinch his arm to keep him from saying anything more about that hot and passionate night. Rebecca can hear it, and I’m ashamed to have my sexual experience heard by someone I don’t want to be.

My pinch on Lucas doesn’t seem to have any effect as he casually sips his wine. We eat dinner and talk a bit. Lucas finishes first and asks me to meet him in my room. I rolled my eyes after he left. I shouldn’t have let him into my room, but I got this apartment from him.

When I entered my bedroom, Lucas stood before the open glass window. The night air filled my room, and the curtains waved gently in the night breeze. I walked over to Lucas and took in the view of Manhattan from this height.

"I never dreamed I could be in a place like this." I had to admit that the view of this apartment was beautiful. I looked up at the sky and saw a half-moon.

"My mom said I was born on a blue full moon. Some say it was an unlucky time, maybe that's why my father left me and my mother." I told him a bit about myself. I turned to look at Lucas, who looked like a million-dollar statue. I took the opportunity to look at him with the minimal light on this balcony, but I couldn't find any flaws.

"Strange coincidence." Lucas turned to look at me with a gaze that I thought was hiding something, but I didn't want to pursue that intuition.

I went back to staring at the cityscape at night. The night breeze made me feel comfortable. It was rare that I could get such fresh night air like this unless I went up to the top floor of my old apartment. I was surprised when Lucas was already near me and hugged me from behind. I can feel his body through the thin sleepwear I'm wearing right now.

The warmth of his body made me flutter and blush, too. I tried to stop myself from being affected by Lucas's charms.

"You must look so beautiful under the light of the full moon." Lucas whispers in my ear and that sentence sends magical vibrations throughout my veins to awaken my passion that seems to be connected to this man.

"You must have honey in your mouth, Lucas. You always have such sweet words to say." I meant to offend him, but instead, I provoked Lucas to ravage my body tonight. Lucas twisted my body so hard that I was shocked. My back hit the iron railing of the balcony.

Lucas doesn't allow me to speak by kissing me until I'm lost in the kiss. He efficiently carried my body inside to the bed.

"Tonight, you're in charge of making my intuition feel satisfied, Natalia." Lucas said with a gaze that seemed to penetrate the depths of my soul. I can't help but obey his wishes and surrender for the umpteenth time under the control of the passion that makes me slowly fall under his spell.
