Chapter 35 Passionate

Chapter 35 Passionate

I was speechless, hearing Bryan's question made her have to remember what the two of them had done 12 years ago. The first sexual experience between the two of them felt so strange, but passionate.

I didn't really understand why I wanted Bryan to do that with hee. But when she looked into Bryan's eyes now, she could remember it again.

"Will you be hurt if I answer?"

"You've hurt me for a long time, my body and soul, you hurt me in every way. So, why do you have to feel guilty now?"

I stepped back slowly until her back was against the wall and Bryan followed her until he was standing right in front of her. Their eyes looked at each other, Lucia hated situations where Bryan could easily take control.

"At that time I thought that I wanted to marry a rich man like you, that way I wouldn't have to work hard to earn money." She said calmly. She was holding something back as if she was trying to hide something. In front of her, Bryan looked at her with a hint of surprised disbelief.

He always heard words like that from all the women he knew. They approached him because he was very rich and could fulfill all their living needs. However, he really didn't expect those words to come out of Lucia's mouth.

"Because of that?"

"Yeah, because of that."

"Are you kidding me?"

"Do I still have a chance to joke with you? When you were in high school you became very famous, you were the son of one of the richest man in the world, you were handsome, intelligent, your voice was so good and you could always attract the attention of many people. Do you remember that I used to really want to joining Julia's very popular group? They always look down on me, so-"

"So that's why you tried to tempt me into having sex, so that you would have a reason to hold me accountable?"

"N-not that, I just felt that you might-"

"Won't reject you?"

"Yes."

"Huh? What kind of nonsense is that? What are you really thinking? Why do you act like you're hungry for recognition? Do you think you're that beautiful that no man will reject you? Or do you just not have the courage to face other men but the four of us? Is that so? Do you think you can freely choose who will sleep with you? Who will you make your slave? Who will you make your lover? Who will be your dearest friend? Was that your plan? You were so angry when we made you bet, but in reality you are the one who is betting on us. Is it because you know that no one can really accept you beside us!"

Bryan shouted with emotions he couldn't control. He was angry, frustrated because even though he felt so miserable because of his current feelings, he still wanted this woman.

His eyes started to get wet, even though 12 years had passed since their kiss on the bed in his quiet room, he still couldn't forget her. He tried various ways to forget Lucia, to forget the stupid things the two of them had done. Date some women and invited them to his room just to erase the image of Lucia who still remained in there.

In the end, he only realized that his love was that deep. No matter how painful it was, he still wanted her. How stupid, how selfish, he realized. Currently in front of him, this woman was looking at him with those beautiful eyes, the same eyes that tempted him to make love 12 years ago. With a trembling voice and tears that he could no longer hold back, Bryan said what he should have said a long time ago.

"I love you, Lucia. I really love you."

Lucia was amazed, her eyes widened looking at Bryan in disbelief. She had suspected this, but she didn't want to believe it. Bryan hugged her and kissed her while she was still processing his words. However, from the kiss that Bryan gave, she realized that this man truly loved her sincerely.

"Bryan, I'm really sorry for-"

"I'm not asking you to be my girlfriend, so don't think too highly! Just because I love you doesn't mean you can get special treatment. Because my hatred for you is just as great."

Lucia looked down, feeling increasingly unable to understand Bryan. What kind of love does he really have? Why does he act like an annoying anti-hero?

Bryan walked towards his desk, acting calm as if nothing had happened. Meanwhile, Lucia was still silent in the corner of the room with her legs feeling stiff and difficult to move.

"Wednesday I will go on a cruise to Sweden, there is an official event I have to attend with my family there. I want you to come with me!"

"What?"

"Why are you surprised?"

"B-but why should I come? What do I have to do with-"

"Earlier you said you really wanted to marry a rich man, right? So, this rich man will marry you!"

"What? Don't be kidding, Bryan! Why should I marry you?"

"Of course you have to! I demand responsibility from you! You took my virginity when I was determined to only do it after marrying my wife!"

"Do you have any principles for sex after marriage?"

"Yeah! Why don't you think I tried to fuck my girlfriends in high school?"

"Is that why you often masturbate?"

"Not often, stupid...! Damn, only once in a while. Anyway, it's all your fault! You were the one who seduced me that time!" Bryan shouted like a selfish child who always imposed his will.

His face was red and she looked agitated as if he was embarrassed by his words. Sex after marriage, that's a very surprising confession. She didn't expect Bryan to ever have such principles. Before all of them, Bryan was the most religious. He often goes to church almost every week, he and his mother are quite devout Catholics. Compared to the four of them who very rarely do it.

"You're still too immature to get married, Bryan! If you really have to get married, I think Emily Brown is the right woman to accompany a selfish, arrogant, stubborn and childish man like you."

"Why are you talking about her?"

"Maybe you used to love me, but your feelings for me have passed. Right now what you need is Emily Brown, the only woman who sees you for who you are."

"Damn, you don't even know her. Why are you talking as if you know everything about her?"

"What about Amanda? You're engaged to her, aren't you? Do you want to just dump her?"

Bryan was silent, he didn't know what Lucia really wanted to say to him. Women always play the same game. Ask about other women's positions in his life.

"You won't succeed this time, Lucia! You will marry me, I don't care about your feelings anymore, because all I want right now is a bond. That way I can make you submit."
