Since She Met Lucian

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."
