Katherine was wearing nothing but a bathrobe. The soft scent of body wash still clung to her skin. Her hair was wet and spread loosely over her shoulders. Drops of water slid down her pale neck and disappeared beneath the thin fabric.

At that moment, she looked striking and alluring. But the way she stood like that put her in a very dangerous position.

Her heart pounded as she glared at Lucas. “What is wrong with you now? Let go of me.”

“Katherine,” he said coldly, “you’ve really outdone yourself.”

She struggled hard, but she was no match for him.

His grip on her wrist tightened. It hurt, but she still couldn’t break free.

“What do you want? Lucas, get out,” Katherine souted, furious.

“Don’t you have anything to explain about today?” he asked.

“Let go of me!” she snapped. When she couldn’t break free, she suddenly lifted her leg, aiming for the most vulnerable spot a man has.

Lucas saw it coming and blocked her easily.

“What are you trying to do?” he said darkly. “Are you really done with this marriage?”

“I don’t want to live with you!” Katherine shot back. “I’ve said it again and again. I want a divorce!” She was frustrated and embarrassed. As she struggled, the belt holding her bathrobe loosened. The fabric slipped, revealing part of her bare shoulder.

She tried to pull it back, but both her hands were pinned by Lucas. Her face flushed bright

red.

Lucas’s eyes were deep and dark, still clouded by alcohol. The way he stared at her felt almost overwhelming, as if he could swallow her whole

“Fine. We’ll talk about that later,” he said slowly. First, explain something to me. Why book a family suite?”

Katherine’s heart thudded. If she hadn’t already looked angry and upset, she might h given herself away just now.

Lucas’s gaze moved past her to the door inside the room. Then he looked back at he

“I almost forgot,” he said. “Ivy isn’t our child. That doesn’t mean you don’t have one.”

All Katherine could hear was his voice and the founding of her own heart.

She had a hard time staying calm.

Before, Lucas had been certain Ivy was their daughter. All his focus had been on Ivy. Even after the paternity test proved Ivy wasn’t his, he stopped doubting Ivy, but he never stopped doubting Katherine.

This was a nightmare.

“I’ve told you ten thousand times,” Katherine said, her voice shaking. “I don’t have a child.”

You could say it a million times,” Lucas replied coldly. “It would still be a lie.”

The more she denied it, the more he suspected her.

Lucas stared at her. He loosened his grip slightly, but he didn’t let her go. Instead, he pulled her to the door of the inner room. “Why don’t we go in right now?” he said. “Let’s see if we can find a kid hiding in there. Katherine, you dare?”

Katherine pressed her lips together. Her eyelashes trembled. Her hands, hanging at her sides, clenched tightly.

Lucas watched her closely. If she showed even the smallest sign of guilt, he would take it as proof.

But Katherine slowly raised her head. Her beautiful eyes met his, steady and fearless. “Fine,” she said calmly. “Go ahead. Search.”

Katherine felt unsure inside, but she forced herself to stay calm.

She knew there were only two possibilities now If she confessed, Lucas would find out about the children. If he searched and found them himself, he would also find out.

But at least in the second case, there was still a small chance.

If she told him the truth herself, there would be no hope at all. So, she chose to gan

She pulled her hand free from Lucas with force “Didn’t you want to check? Go ahead I’m hiding any children.”

Her voice was strong and confident. But if someone looked closely, they would see body trembling slightly.

Lucas did not change his mind because of her calm attitude.
