Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 34

Stefan stepped out of the restroom and saw Owen chatting with Lucinda. He briskly walked over.

"Owen, what do you think you're doing?" Stefan pulled Lucinda behind him, eyeing Owen suspiciously.

Owen chuckled, "Stefan, why so jumpy? Scared I'll spill the beans? I'm just having a chat with her. You're not being very honest, Stefan. You've already put a ring on her finger and you're still keeping her in the dark? Look at her, she's pale as a ghost. All thanks to you."

After a hearty laugh and a toast to Lucinda, Owen turned and left. He'd achieved his goal and didn't want to stick around in case Stefan got mad and started a fight.

Even though he wasn't scared of Stefan, he didn't want to fight him, mainly because he didn't want to hurt Stefan and upset Ruby.

Stefan turned around to look at Lucinda's pale face. He wanted to caress her face, but she dodged him.

"Stefan, is everything Mr. Martinez said true? Lucy, I didn't mean to deceive you, I was just afraid..."

Lucinda cut Stefan off, "Stefan, can I go home now?"

This revelation was too much for her. She needed some time to cool off.

Stefan was the eldest son of the Anderson family and the heir to Ascend Global, not some random assistant. Turned out, the person she had known for eleven years was still a stranger to her. "I'll drive you home."

Stefan grabbed Lucinda's hand, not letting her leave by herself. Then, he pulled out his phone and called his chauffeur to pick them up from the Ascend Hotel.

Now that Lucinda knew his true identity, there was no need to hide anymore.
