Chapter 172: Deep Hatred


    A nodded.


    "Would you mind letting me talk to him for a bit?"


    In all honesty, sometimes, she had no idea how to face her problems.


    "Be my guest," Brian replied as he opened the door for her.


    Upon seeing A approach him, Lucas threw away his cigarette.


    "L," he greeted.


    "Lucas, what are you doing here?"


    She tried to force a smile, which ended up looking unnatural.


    "I was worried about you, so I dropped by."


    Lucas had been worrying about A for so many days.He wondered what Brian might''ve done to harm


    her.


    ‘Would he actually do anything to make her cry and feel wronged?’ Lucas thought.


    But based on what he saw, he figured that he was mistaken with his assumption.The woman he was so


    worried about was now intimate with another man.


    Perhaps Lucas never had a ce in A''s heart to begin with.He was just a burden to her.


    Everything that he gave her, she reluctantly epted.


    Maybe she had only thought of him as a friend and not a lover all these years.


    No matter how long it had been, she still hadn''t forgotten about Brian.


    Despite how despicable he was, he easily won over A''s heart.


    "I''m fine."


    It was true that she was fine.She didn''t even need to think too muchtely.


    Over the past few days, Brian had only forced her once.


    It was only once, but he had taken everything he could from her.


    In his presence, A had a hard time being calm.


    Every fiber of her being, other than her strong facade, he could easily tear down.


    And because of that, her heart softened.She realized that her love for him had never changed.


    No longer did she stubbornly resist and obstinately hold on.


    If she kept on being hard headed, it would only exhaust her.


    "Everything''s going to be fine as long as you''re happy."


    The sound of Lucas’ voice was so hoarse and showed hints of exhaustion.


    Lately, Haley had been grinding him to the point of insanity.She coerced him to give in using their baby,


    and forced him to marry her.


    Perhaps all she really wanted was a marriage.


    But did she actually love him? Maybe Haley wasn''t a person capable of love.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    "Lucas, how is Miss Green?"


    A didn''t want to bring it up, but she knew she had to face it.


    With a bitter smile, Lucas nodded.


    In reality, he didn''t care whether Haley was fine or not.


    The only person he actually gave a damn about was A.


    But unfortunately, she was now in Brian''s arms, so she didn''t need Lucas anymore.


    It took two years to build a foundation for their rtionship, but in the end, it was ruined overnight.


    Maybe this was for the best? At the very least, once A found out the truth about his identity, she


    wouldn''t be hurt that much.


    On top of that, he must have his revenge.


    If losing the woman he loved the most was inevitable, then he must destroy Brian, the man capable of


    controlling everything.


    "I see.I''ll be on my way then."


    With that, A turned around and walked away.


    It seemed that the distance between her and Lucas was now too great for her to see his heart.


    In the past, she did her best to love him back, to give him everything, and to ept what fate had in


    store for them.


    Sadly, she just went back to square one.


    The man who stood beside her now, was the same heartless man, Brian.


    Despite that fact, she was still so willing to be with him.


    Whenever she was around him, she couldn''t resist him.


    All she could do was give into his wiles, and feel everything that he was giving her.


    This wrong love of hers was now bound tost a lifetime, and the final oue was a burden that she


    must bear alone.


    Her only sin was that she loved and got hurt.


    And after everything that happened, she found that nothing had changed.


    A hadn''t gotten that far yet when Lucas chased her to hold her in his arms.


    "L, I miss you so much! Pleasee back to me!"  he pleaded humbly.


    His heart was so fragile that it couldn''t be strong enough to withstand adversity.But it didn''t matter to


    him if he got hurt over and over, as long as she came back to him.


    A shook her head.


    "You''ll be much happier without me," she said.


    Two years was enough for her to prove that her only choice was to go back to the starting point, and


    act as if nothing had changed.


    "You''re wrong! I can''t be happy—not without you! As long as you''re not by my side, I''ll never be happy!"


    Didn''t A have a shred of understanding what could make Lucas happy? Over the past few years,


    she never seemed to understand him.


    It was as if she never learned to love him at all.


    Lucas felt so pathetic right now.


    Brian only agreed to let A speak to Lucas for a few minutes, but he never allowed any intimate


    contact between them, let alone a hug.


    And so, he got out of the car and pulled A into his arms.


    "Mr.Collins, I''m warning you.Stay away from my woman, or I''m going to teach you a lesson you''ll never


    forget."


    "You''re going to teach me a lesson? Brian, when have you ever been civil? You''ve killed so many


    people, and your hands are stained in so much blood! Never have you been kind to anyone.There''s no


    way you can make L happy! You''ve hurt her so much, so you have to pay the price."


    Lucas wanted to remind Brian that a bloodthirsty demon like him would someday receive divine


    punishment.He didn’t want A to get hurt because of this demon.


    "Mr.Collins, thanks for the kind reminder.I know what I have to do, what I''ve done, and what I haven''t.I


    know it all too well," Brian sneered.


    Lucas red at him.


    ‘How could Brian be this cold- blooded? Does he really think that none of it was his fault? Does he want


    to pretend like nothing happened?’ Lucas hated Brian so much.


    This wretched man was the reason he lost his family, and even took away the love of his life.


    No matter how anyone looked at it, they were destined to be at daggers drawn.


    Shifting his gaze towards A, Lucas said, "L, you should find out what kind of person Brian really


    is.It''s best that you stay away from him.He can never make you happy!"


    If someday, Brian would die by his hands, then she would be all alone.


    So, if A fell in love with him again, she would still be unfortunate and miserable.


    Soon, she watched Lucas drive away.


    There was nothing she could do to stop him.She then turned to Brian, and asked, "Do you have a


    grudge against Lucas or something?"


    "No," he said tly.


    To his knowledge, there had never been an enmity between them.


    And it had nothing to do with A.


    Two years ago, what Lucas did to her was all done to spite Brian.


    That man knew him well, so he manipted her into getting kicked out of the house.


    But in the end, A ended up getting caught by Tatum.


    Taking a deep breath, she said, "But it seems that Lucas loathes you.


    Whether you believe it or not, there''s probably something that caused that hatred."
