The next thing she knew, her wrist was grabbed in a vice-like grip, and she was forcefully pulled to her feet.
The small pot of cream slipped from her hand and smashed on the floor, spilling its contents.
Lucinda raised her head and glared at Nathaniel. As mad as she was, however, she couldn’t help the pang in her heart when she met his eyes.
“Do you think you can force me into acknowledging you by drugging me so that I would sleep with you?”
His fingers around her wrist tightened even more as he spat out the words.
He looked absolutely terrifying at that moment.
But wait… Drugging him?

Lucinda flashed him a bitter smile.
“Do you honestly see me as the kind of woman who would use such vile methods?”
Nathaniel snorted in disgust.

An opportunist? Tricked his grandfather?

If she had wanted to drug him, she would have done it long ago. Why would she wait until now and suffer through three years of bullying from his mother and sister?

Nathaniel was taken aback by Lucinda’s sudden request for divorce. He had no idea what game she was playing after drugging him the previous night.
“What you are up to this time?”
Lucinda shot him a cold look. Even though she was shorter than him, she exuded a powerful presence that almost intimidated him.
