"The heavens are really favoring you, since you two had a night together. Shouldn't you be responsible for her?" Mark exclaimed excitedly. "The heavens are not favoring me but toying with me instead" Lucian replied calmly, but his eyes were filled with sadness. "What nonsense are you spouting? Tell me exactly what happened, can't..." "She is already engaged" Lucian had always wished to marry his childhood crush, but as the next heir of the Henderson company, he had to go through a lot of training overseas, and he swore to himself he would confess his love to her and marry her once he returns. Seven years later, Lucian returned, but the table had turned as she was already engaged. Engaged to his stepbrother. Why would she spend the night with Lucian when she was engaged?

Chapter 1 Encounter

Mia woke up slowly from the bed in a daze.

Her mind was cloudy and she was still feeling groggy,her body was achy and sore and most importantly,she was naked under the duvet het body littered with marks and bruises.

"What kind of dream is this?".

She pinched herself and gasped in pain ,the pain made her realize it was reality and not a dream.

The memories from the previous night started flooding in.she had attended her fiance's family company anniversary which was held in one of their newly launched hotel.

Later in the evening,she was enjoying the beautiful view in the garden after the guests dispersed but she suddenly felt dizzy and hot,a staff who was nearby offered to walk her to her room and then this happened.

"Ah.....",she screamed and the man beside her woke up with a start.

"You.. You monster, you must have paid and colluded with the staffs right, bastard am going to sue you", Mia shouted totally enraged but the man was just staring at her unmoving,he appeared lost in thought,his expression alternating between happiness and despair.

"What do you mean?,"which staff?", you were the one that entered my room late at night.besides I was drunk and had no clue of what was happening",the man explained with a cold gaze and she was petrified.

Shuffling backwards,she vaguely remembered entering the room, stripping herself and throwing herself on him.

"It was one of the staffs that brought me here,I was feeling dizzy and she volunteered to walk me back to my room,this is all a misunderstanding,I'm already engaged why would I venture into another man's room",Mia explained incoherently.

Gazing at the man,she felt he looked somewhat familiar and yet distant but she couldn't lay her hands on where they've met before.

"It's okay",he replied softly.

"Okay for you but not for me,how do I explain this to my fiancé,this...am done for ", Mia panicked.

"Then I'll keep it a secret ",he said but there was a tinge of sadness in his voice,her statement was like a cold basin of water poured over him,it slapped him with reality.

"Are..,are you sure"Mia stammered.

"Hundred percent,so from now on I haven't even seen this face before ",he nod and assured her calmly.

"Oh,then thank you very much sir ",Mia said and scrambled to her feet's, gathering all her belongings and hurriedly put on her dress and then left the room not noticing the man who looked so forlorn, sitting in the same position, unmoving just like a statue.

"Hahaha, fate is really unfair to me",he laughed maniacally, sweeping everything on the bedside table away and injuring his arms in the process.

"Lucian",a blonde haired guy rushed in from outside panting heavily."the lady outside just now,is that Mia?".

"Yes, Mark",Lucian replied."it is indeed her".

"The heavens are really favoring you, since you two had a night together. Shouldn't you be responsible for her?" Mark exclaimed excitedly, grinning from ears to ears.

"The heavens are not favoring me but toying with me instead" Lucian replied calmly, but his eyes were filled with sadness.

"What do you mean?,what nonsense are you spouting? Tell me exactly what happened, can't..."

"She is already engaged, engaged to Leonard",Lucian replied before Mark could finish his sentence and he walked straight into the bathroom slamming the door shut.

"Holy shit", Mark punched the cushion in disappointment."fate is really, really unfair, perhaps it's all for the good",he shrugged.

After several minutes Lucian emerged from the bathroom decked in a casual leopard print shirt and black pants.

"Let's go downstairs",Lucian said to Mark."grandfather's waiting for us".

"You sure you want to go?", Mark asked arching a brow."won't you feel all riled up if you see her again".

"Meeting her is inevitable,if I avoid it today,I won't be able to get away always", Lucian replied.

"But yo. . "

"I'm fine, yeah I loved her but I was too late,she deserves better,and it's all for the best I can't imagine the two of us fighting over her", Lucian smiled somewhat ruefully.

"Then you're not going to tell her?", Mark asked.

"No", Lucian replied."it's of no use,she'll only feel bad and burdened,she doesn't even recognize me, it's better she doesn't find out,well I've been holding on for over a decade,I guess it's time to let go", Lucian replied thoughtfully.

"And you?", Mark asked.

"Am good as long as you're by my side", Lucian replied."co'mmon let's go".

They started towards the door,then Lucian suddenly stopped.

"Get the footage of yesterday's events, from Mia's speech I guess she was set up by someone", Lucian ordered.

"Sure", Mark noded.
