Chapter 198 Charlotte thought to herself , right on cue She nodded , keeping her expression carefully neutral " Yes , they broke my Lucía visibly relaxed , her shoulders dropping slightly , Charlotte observed this reaction , then decided to cut straight to the pose " You're in love with him , et pa Lucia blinked , taken aback by Charlotte's directress , " I am , " she admitted with surprising honesty . " That hasn't changed " Charlotte raised an eyebrow .

" That's quite the long term commitment . Seven years , if I'm counting righ " Mm - hmm . " Lucia lowered her gaze , voice softening Charlotte felt a complex mix of admiration and pity . Carrying a torch for someone for that long took remarkable dedication . But love doesn't operate on persistence alone . " The thing is , " Charlotte said with a small smile , " Asher never stopped loving Thalia . From what I can see , they're likely to find their way back to each other .

" The polished smile faded from Lucia's lips . " What makes you say that ? " " Their breakup wasn't what it seemed , " Charlotte explained . " They didn't fall out of love or get bored with each other . Malfoy - Andrew's illegitimate son - realized Thalia was Asher's weakness . He kidnapped her , tried to kill her multiple times . Thalia was actually shot by Malfoy's men recently . She's still in the hospital recovering Lucia's eyes widened . " Oh my God . I had no idea .

Since when ? " With Asher's history of admirers , James's ignorance wasn't surprising . Asher wasn't one to broadcast women's confessions , and Lucia had chosen a private setting for hers , making James's unawareness perfectly

She'd immediately begged them to keep it quiet , terrified Lucia would cut ties with her if word got out . Lucia's pride couldn't handle people knowing that she - the Schulz heiress desired
