59. Unexpected Gift

Ava flinched when Lucas's hands roamed wildly over her buttocks.

"L-Luke... What are you doing?"

"Oh, come on, Ava. My head is already pounding because I'm under house arrest by my father. Can't you do this for me?"

Ava felt terrified and humiliated.

Lucas hadn't even proposed to her yet.

She didn't want to be treated like a prostitute.

If she gave herself easily to Lucas, there was a possibility that he would grow bored of her someday.

"Luke, we're not married yet, you can't do this."

"Later or now, what's the difference? Besides, you'll be my wife eventually. I'm just speeding up our first night."

'What kind of logic is that? What if he doesn't marry me? I can't guarantee anything because the novel's plot has changed so much. I still need my purity if I want to seduce Grand Duke Cassius!'

Then, Ava started to cry, hoping that Lucas would stop his actions by seeing her tears.
