Blood Rose

Lyra looked at Keith with a confused look, she didn't understand why Keith could think that she really enjoyed being around a cruel, wall and scary man like Aiden. She never thought about seeking anyone's attention here apart from Lucas' agreement, she only wanted Lucas.

"Listen, I don't understand what you're saying at all. I'm not at all interested in your cruel brother. If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to see him even for a moment. So stop thinking that I'm going to try to get his attention. "

"Is it true?" Keith asked as if he wasn't sure about Lyra's answer. For some reason, Lyra seemed to him the type of woman who would never be satisfied with just one man.

Lyra sighed, she didn't expect Keith to judge her that far. But instead of trying to convince Keith that she wasn't who he thought he was, she chose to ignore Keith rather than try too hard.

"I don't understand why you can be so possessive of me. Oh I know, you might fall in love with me, right?" She said confidently. She tried to tease Keith and see how far this man would go to continue arguing with her.

Keith moved closer to her and showed strong dominance. He smiled sinisterly like a wolf who knew that he was the predator and the woman in front of him was just weak prey.

"Rather than falling in love, I'm more obsessed with you."

"Obsessed?"

"Honestly you are my type, I have an interesting offer. You can be my girlfriend for real and break your contract with Lucas. I will pay all the money Lucas spent to hire you, what do you think?"

"You want me to be your girlfriend? What makes you think that we could be a great couple?"

"You and I have the same passion, we can be a very wild and hot couple in bed. Besides, you have no other choice but to accept my offer. Because if you persist in your contractual relationship with Lucas, you will return to your husband that crazy guy and maybe he'll sell you to another guy again. You know you won't have the same luck you're having now, right? You'll probably end up with an old, unhot guy."

Lyra laughed amusedly at Keith's statement. She could feel that Keith was starting to take an interest in her and although it seemed quite profitable. However, she hopes that she can have a long-term relationship with Lucas.

Of course she has her own balance because Lucas is the eldest son who is the leader of the family and business. That means he has full control and power compared to his six brothers. She looked at Keith from head to toe. Honestly, Keith was a very, very sexy and attractive man. She couldn't deny it, but since Lucas chose her and brought her to this place, her thoughts and goals were only focused on Lucas.

"Interesting offer, but I'm very interested in Lucas. I'll consider you if my efforts to get him completely fail, what do you think?"

"Damn it, you mean you want to make me a backup, right?" Keith cursed in annoyance. Seeing Lyra smiling seductively in a haughty manner made him even more annoyed. But on the one hand, it opens him up to wanting Lyra even more.

Lyra turned to leave, but her eyes fell back on a blood-red rose that she was not allowed to pick. She didn't know why she wanted the rose so much.

"I really want that blood red rose." She said. She tried to express her desires to Keith to test how far Keith wanted her.

"Unfortunately it is the only flower that cannot be picked in this garden."

"Why? Is it because Aiden forbade it?"

"He always looks after the flowers and every time a rose blooms, there is only one rose that is a different color. You will be in trouble if you pick it."

"What if you picked it? Would you get into trouble too?"

Hearing Lyra's request, Keith smiled and looked at her sharply. He knew what Lyra was thinking and that made him feel challenged.

"You want me to pick it, so Aiden doesn't have a reason to be angry with you?"

"If you had done it, the results might have been different, right?"

"You are a very cunning woman, the female devil is not even as good as you at carrying out her duties."

Lyra put her arms around Keith's shoulders, pulling Keith's body closer to her. She kissed Keith's lips and as Keith said, she was quite good at seducing men.

"If you'll pick it for me, perhaps I'll consider your offer." She whispered softly before finally letting go of her embrace and walking away, leaving Keith still stunned by her seduction.

"Are you seriously considering it? If I pick it for you, you will end your contractual relationship with Lucas and become my girlfriend, right?"
