TimeNovelAll of a sudden, an idea crossed Evelyn's mind, and her pupils cback to focus in an instant.
Clutching Gigi's hand, she pleaded, "Gigi, please. I'm begging you as your mother. Please help me! All these years, whenever you encountered problems, big or small, I was the one who helped you solve them. Please helpjust this once!" Evelyn's grip on Gigi's arms was so strong that the latter winced in pain, struggling to break free. "Mom, this isn't up to me-it's Dad's orders. I can't help you!" Evelyn grasped her hand stubbornly, refusing to let go. "No, I'm sure you can help me! All you have to do is getthe key. That's all I'm asking!" Gigi's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at her mother. After a long, tense silence, she relented. "Fine, I'll try my best. But if I can't get you the key, you can't blme, okay?" Everyone else could turn their backs on Evelyn, but not Gigi. Evelyn was her mother, the woman who had raised and loved her for over 20 years.

Moments later, the figure slipped through the manor's front gate and darted toward a public phone booth nearby. With trembling hands, they made a call. Not long after, a sleek black Range Rover pulled up beside Evelyn. The passenger window rolled down, revealing Lucas, who was casually holding a cigar between his fingers. He glanced at Evelyn, who was shivering by the roadside. "What happened to you, Eve? Get in!" Evelyn didn't need to be told twice. She practically leaped into the car. "Lucas, that bastard Daniel lockedin the basement and wouldn't leteat or sleep properly! I despise him!" Lucas tossed her a clean towel. "Don't worry. I'll deal with that old bastard for you. But first, let's get you cleaned up and fed. You're coming to my place!" Evelyn never imagined she'd be able to escape Daniel's clutches. Her racing heart only started to settle down after she stepped into Lucas' long-term suite at the hotel.
Evelyn sank into the warm bubble bath and felt the tension drain from her body. Her reflection in the water looked almost radiant, a stark contrast to the woman who had fled from a basement just hours ago.
As soon as she rose from the tub, water still dripping from her skin, Lucas barged in and embraced her His hands roamed freely over her body. You've lost so much weight, but your chest is still as perfect as ever. That bastard didn't touch you, did he?" Evelyn didn't put up a fight. Instead, she leaned into his arms, letting him explore her body. "Of course not. He never touches me. His late wife is all he thinks about -he barely remembers I exist.
"Besides, even if he wanted to touch me, I wouldn't let him. My body belongs to you, Lucas, and no one else." Lucas laughed heartily and gave her a playful slap on the butt. "Good! Then, letlove you the way you deserve!" With that, the two tumbled onto the bed, bare skin against bare skin, lost in each other's embrace.
Little did they know that, at that very moment, a crowd of reporters had gathered outside their hotel room. All of a sudden, the door clicked open, and the reporters burst Cameras flashed wildly, capture the two entangled bodies on the bed.

Evelyn, trembling with fear, buried herself in Lucas' arms hiding her face from the relentless cameras.
Lucas panicked for a moment but quickly regained his composure. Pointing at the reporters, he om demanded, "Who the hell let you in here? Which media outlets are you lot from? I'll sue every single one of you! This is my private suite-how dare you barge in here?"
