Not long after Aidan Lucas retreated to the guest room, sounds of running water could be heard from inside.

After a while, the water stopped flowing.

Then, they heard the man’s movement, emerging from the bathroom.

Some time later, the lights in the guest room were extinguished.

The man had climbed into bed, preparing to sleep.

The night once again settled into depth.

The entire villa, once again, fell into tranquility.

But just ten minutes later, in the previously silent guest room, soft footsteps could be heard.

Soon after, the door to the guestroom was opened and then gently closed.

A tall shadowy figure slowly moved towards the master bedroom.

Aidan Lucas stood outside the master bedroom, his mind unsettling.

Feeling irritated about breaking his promises.

He had told himself that his first visit would be his last.

Yet, since that day, he had been sneaking into her boudoir every night, unable to resist the temptation.

He felt like a voyeur, a twisted peeping tom.

The ironic part was that his target wasn’t some stranger — but his own wife, whom he was legally entitled to.

Realizing his predicament, a trace of regret flashed through Aidan’s deep, cold eyes.

This would be the last time.

He decided, and adeptly took out the spare key to unlock the door to the master bedroom.

He closed the door and locked it.

His view was pitch black.

Aidan was accustomed to such darkness.

As he had done on previous occasions, he stood by the door, waiting for a moment.

Only after his eyes had adjusted to the darkness did he cast his gaze upon the bed.

But his wife, who was usually asleep by now, wasn’t on the bed!

The king-size bed was utterly vacant!

Aidan promptly furrowed his brows, a trace of menacing darkness flashing across his eyes.

He quickly switched on the room lights.

Warm light instantly filled the entire bedroom.

But the room was empty.

Where had Lily gone?

Disquiet creased Aidan’s brow.

An unintended chill seeped out from his angular face.

Just as he was preparing to turn around and leave to send his men out to look for her,

He heard a faint sigh from the bathroom.

Someone was in the bathroom?!

The man’s sleek, deep eyes instantly narrowed dangerously.

He pretended to be indifferent, casually removed his robe, revealing his firm muscles.

Then walked casually to the bathroom door and opened it.

Aidan figured that Lily had been abducted and was being held in the bathroom.

Perhaps she had been knocked unconscious.

There might be a dangerous character lurking inside the bathroom now.

He had encountered such situations numerous times throughout his life.

He had just never expected…

That one day, someone would infiltrate his villa and pose a threat to his woman.

With the thought that Lily might be in danger, his already icy eyes appeared even colder.

He opened the bathroom door and stepped inside casually.

Before he could switch on the light, a figure leaped out from behind the door, launching a surprise attack.

Being prepared, Aidan sidestepped to dodge the assault.

With a quick turn around, he seized one of the attacker’s arms and tightly gripped the back of their head.

“Aye, stop it… it’s… it’s me…”

A woman’s delicate voice suddenly echoed in the darkness.

Following her voice, a strange ringtone sounded.

Aidan’s grip faltered, leaving him barely enough time to control his strength. “Lily Gray, what on earth are you doing?!” His voice was a low growl, brimming with frustration.

He had almost…

He had almost hurt her!

PS: The spare key didn’t “disappear”; it wasn’t hidden by Ellie. It was with our male lead, and both Lily and Ellie discovered it.
