Lucas tore open the iron cage with his bare hands.
His scorpion tail and legs were broken, but they were regenerating at an extremely fast rate. Soon, new flesh grew out.
“Olivia…… is it you……
I backed away.
He moved even faster, directly gripping my arm and pulling me into his embrace.
He hugged me very tightly, painfully, as if wanting to knead me into his body.
Afraid I would disappear the next second.
“Olivia, Olivia……”
Lucas repeated my name.
“I was wrong, don’t leave me, don’t……”
Warm drops fell.
I didn’t forcefully push him away, but silently waited for him to vent his emotions.

I didn’t forcefully push him away, but silently waited for him to vent his emotions.
Lucas had lost a lot of weight.
There were wounds of various sizes all over his body, red and swollen, festering. They were made by the poison needle, each one stabbed very deep.
“Olivia, why aren’t you saying anything?”
“Talk to me……”
“I was wrong, take me with you. Please, take me away……
I pried open his fingers one by one.
Lucas shook his head, his voice hoarse.
“Don’t leave me……”
“Get lost.”
1 spat out one word.

Lucas was nailed to the spot, his shoulders slumping, tears falling one by one from his cheeks and shattering on the ground.
He knelt down.
Humbly, lightly bumping his head against my foot.
Just like when we first met six years ago.

Back then, he was still reluctant and unwilling. His red scorpion tail hung high,
of arrogance.
“I’ll only be your bodyguard, I won’t acknowledge you as my master.”
I spent day and night with him.

if trying to intimidate me, his whole body full
Learning his likes and dislikes, giving him appropriate gifts, even cultivating a whole backyard of daisies for him to enjoy.
But Lucas always had a cold face.
Pushing me away, viewing all my kindness as attempts to tame him.
“Olivia, I will never bow my head to you in this life.”
His edge was brighter than the artificial sun.
Now, he was like a stray dog.
Begging to acknowledge me as his master.

“Lucas, I still prefer your arrogant self.”
I kicked him away.
Lucas’s face was whiter than the wall.
“I was wrong……”
Seeing that apologies and repentance couldn’t move me at all, he fumbled with his clothes, pulling out a nearly ruined photo.
I glanced at it.
Lucas seemed to have grasped hope, tremblingly holding it out to me.
“Olivia, you used to love me so much……”
“Give me one more chance…..”
I suddenly understood.
He thought the person in the photo was him.
“Look carefully, the person in the photo……” I drawled, “is not you.”
“It’s my Ethan.”
He blinked, looking bewildered.

His head seemed to be missing a piece of memory, blurry and painful. The more he tried to remember, the less he could recall.
“Aren’t I your Lucas…..
“No.”
I felt a sudden rush of pleasure inside.
Smiling, I said the cruelest words.
“How could a lowly beast like you compare to him?”
Lucas stopped talking, not even moving, staring blankly at the photo.
“1.

“Am not your Lucas…..
