A Lover's Sacrifice

"I am glad that you finally gave in to me, but till our wedding, I am afraid you will have to continue being my maid. Of course, there is only a couple of days left till our wedding, so I am sure you can hold on until then, right?" Yiman asked as he put on his robes after having a satisfying bath with Nadia.

Nadia was disgruntled to hear that this bastard still wanted to make her suffer in the role of a maid despite giving "everything" to him.

But this time, she didn't shout at him in anger or express her dissatisfaction. Instead, she said smugly, "Of course. Don't understand me, my king. I am more capable than you think."

"Of course, my love. You are the most powerful and talented woman I know. See you at the royal sect, beautiful," Yiman said with a flying kiss as he walked out of her room.

Nadia stood frozen in her spot for a few seconds before suddenly falling to her knees as tears trickled down her cheeks, "Lucas…Lucas…" Nadia covered her face as she wept, but she stopped crying shortly after she wiped away her tears and slowly stood up with a cold expression.

She looked in the mirror and looked at her naked body.

She caressed her skin as she thought about how irresistible her body was to men, including even powerful ones like Yiman and Zhen.

"If my beauty is a curse to myself, then I shall turn it into my weapon for you, Lucas…Mother will do anything necessary to make you the strongest," Nadia mumbled with a determined gaze as if she was making a promise to herself.

*******

Lucas was sitting in his class with a tired look. He had been training all night, and even if he didn't mind the extra training, he couldn't understand why his teachers wanted to suddenly hold late-night extra classes.

Something just felt off to him even though he did get to learn some extra things.

But since he didn't get to return to Nadia yesterday or even this morning, he was feeling disappointed since her face, especially her beautiful smile, was one of the things that lit up his day.

Coincidentally, he didn't get to see Celia again as well, and since her wedding was going to happen soon, Lucas was feeling very restless about it as well.

He definitely had to talk to Nadia about this and explain everything.

However, Lucas had no idea that Celia was in no mood to come to the sect today, especially after what happened yesterday night.

She was still on her bed, struck by guilt and shame after remembering all the indecent things she did with Jiang and his friends.

She knew she had the chance to walk away but in the end, thinking about Lucas…she couldn't just do it.

And this exactly was what was eating her from inside. She hated the fact that she betrayed Lucas to save him. She cried the entire morning thinking about this and never got out of bed despite her maids pleading her to.

She couldn't dare to go to the sect and see his face while he treated her like nothing was wrong.

She felt that she didn't deserve to talk to him, but at the same time, she just wanted to melt into his embrace to feel his warmth and comfort herself.

But suddenly, the door of her room opened as the man whom she hated the most walked in.

"J-Jiang? What are you doing here!" Celia became nervous as she jumped out of the bed, feeling that he was up to no good.

Jiang walked toward her with a shady smile and grabbed her wrist as he said, "Did you forget your promise already? I was already kind enough to wait till now, thinking that you were recovering from your hangover but here you are…simply wasting your time instead of going to the royal sect."

"N-No….I was just feeling too tired. I never forgot about the promise," Celia said nervously since she didn't want Jiang to do anything to Lucas because of her.

"Good girl. Now come here so that I can hug my hot fiance," Jiang said as he pulled Celia towards him and hugged her from behind as he looked at a mirror in front of both of them.

Celia was wearing a pink chemise with her cleavage showing. This was the attire she wore in her own room and never expected Jiang to barge in. Otherwise, she would have dressed more modestly.

"You are looking so sexy even at home,"

Jiang pulled back her head by her hair as he licked her beautiful neck while kneading her breasts, "Mmhh, I was already missing the taste of your beautiful skin. It tastes so sweet, but I wonder how you taste down there," Without any warning, Jiang tore off her skirt, revealing her white panties.
