25 years ago..
Adamson Lee was nine years old. He got to know that he was going to be a brother soon. He was thrilled. He heard it by chance from one of the maids who was responsible for taking care of the Master area. He wondered why his parents didn't tell him yet about the news.
Adamson wasn't always available in the house, he often went out to play. Or if he didn't, he would locked himself up in his room for a whole day, creating a new piece of piano songs.
He wanted to see his parents, they were always busy but today both of them were at home. Adamson walked towards the Master area despite knowing that he wasn't allowed there.
He walked through the hallway and he saw his parents talking in their room, the door wasn't shut properly. He stepped closer to greet them but he heard something unexpected.
"The dosage will keep him alive on the outside but not the inside. He'll die surely but slowly, just wait.", Maria Lee said to her husband. She didn't sound remorseful when talking about someone else's death.
"Are you sure? He seems alive and kicking. My dad won't be happy if he knows that kid's real identity.", Nicholas Lee crossed his arms, he wasn't satisfied at all.
"Just wait, Adamson is just a kid. Let's give him some chance before he dies. It's not like I want to keep him either.", Maria was trying to convince her husband.
"Take care of it before my dad got to know. He's not my son but yours.", Nicholas turned away, he was going to take a bath.
"Hey! You know I was forced to conceive him when that incident happened! Why can't you believe me?", Maria started to shed some tears. Nicholas wasn't willing to compromise about Adamson at all. But it wasn't her fault that she was pregnant with an unknown man's child.
"Well, it's not like I hate him, I'm fine with him being a member of Lee but my dad is going to kill me for that. You know, my position as the CEO is more important than another man's child.", Nicholas went to the bathroom after saying his piece of mind.
He wanted Maria to choose, him or Adamson. He wasn't going to risk his position just for a sake of a child. He had been kind to Adamson all these years, providing him with luxury and wealth. But that was going to end soon since his father Silas Lee, was a clever old man who could find out about anything with just a flick of his finger.
Maria stomped her feet in anger when her tears were ignored. She remembered the day when she was supposed to marry Nicholas, an unknown man had raped her under the influence of alcohol and she was pregnant with Adamson. She didn't want the child but at that time, Silas Lee was just too happy to know he was going to get an heir. So she lied. Nicholas knew from the start but he also wanted to please his father. So he and Maria decided to keep Adamson. Silas Lee was someone very hard to please. Of course they would take the chance to get to his grace.
Adamson couldn't believe what he had heard. He was dying soon..? And that too, was because of his own parents? The world seemed to spin around his eyes and the rustling of wind sounded so loud to his ears. His parents wanted to murder him..?
But who was his real father? Why did his mother want to kill him so badly? Did he do anything wrong? He wanted to cry upon hearing such betrayal. But somehow, his heart froze and it turned to stone.

"Adamson, here's your pills for this month. Make sure to take it within time. I'm worried about you, always being outside rather than at home.", Maria smiled towards her son.
Asamson wanted to throw up hearing his mother's fake words. He knew her reason, she wanted to kill him. How could she smile like that? The pills weren't medicine, they were poison! He was given poison from as long as he could remember!
"Sleep well, son.", Maria kissed Adamson's forehead lovingly before leaving his bedroom. It was a quarter past ten. He should sleep soon.
Adamson gritted his teeth when she was gone. How dare she acted like nothing ever happened?
"Hypocrite..", he said, clenching his hand into a fist.
He would find out tomorrow when he go out to test the pills. He was a smart kid after all, of course he would need some evidences.
But deep in his soul, he hoped that this was all just a bad dream, and he would wake up soon. And that the pills were really a medicine..
But it seemed like his wish wasn't strong enough to avoid the bitter truth. He got to know that the pills were actually some kind drug, a poison in very little dose. If consumed each day even for several years, it wouldn't show immediate reaction within his inner system. But it would get bad slowly.. it was a slow but certain death.
He realized sometimes he would have difficulty in breathing and his heart felt painful suddenly. As if he was being stabbed with a knife..
"So that was it..", he tried to hold back tears.

Back to present.
Both Lucy and Aubrey were in her (their) room upstairs after registering the marriage.
'I'll definitely make him bow down to me..', Lucy was determined to set her plan in motion. This time no one could get in her way.
"Aubreyyyy when will you come out?", she knocked on the bathroom's door.
Aubrey was inside taking a shower. He deliberately locked the door in case something like what happened in her grandfather's house would occur again. It was pure torture back then..
"Tch- no one can stop me from getting my first night of marriage.", she said to herself. And then she went cirling around the room, waiting for her husband to come out.
Some time later, Aubrey came out perfectly dressed and was ready to sleep when Lucy grabbed his hand. He was shoved forward when she pulled him roughly. The next thing he knew, he was already on the bed. With her on top of him.
"Lucy.. my hair isn't dry yet.", he said, making an excuse.
"Hmph, fine. I'll help you.", she took a towel and helped him dry his hair. She liked to touch his smooth silky hair, of course she wouldn't let this chance slip away.
'And you think you can trick me, a psychologist?', she wore a smirk. There was no way she would forget her main goal so easily.
Lucy stood up to put the towel away. Aubrey thought he was safe but again, he was pushed down on the bed. Her on top.
"Ah.. Lucy, what are you doing..?", he asked her, a little perturbed.
"You know what I'm doing.", she went down to him and kissed him fiercely. She wasn't giving him a choice.
"Lucy-", he couldn't get himself to go against her. Especially when her sweet, candy-like lips met with his.
Lucy parted their lips after the intense first attempt. She was satisfied to see him out of breath.
"We were interupted last time, now the payment's due. I want you to pay me back. Twice the amount, since tonight was our wedding night.", she said resolutely. She would argue if he wasn't willing to abide.
Aubrey chuckled when she said that. It was so illegal to be this cute..
He wasn't really holding himself back. He was just trying to be careful. When they did it before, they didn't use protection. If she becomes pregnant during this time, it would be a little difficult to fight his battle. He knew how much of a psycho that man could be. And Aubrey didn't want to take the risk.
"Don't hold yourself back! Or am I actualy not attractive enough?! Gosh!", she started to panic. It was actually one of her plans to make him surrender.
"You're always beautiful, Lucy.", he said while looking straight into her eyes. His serious response made her stunned. Uh oh.
"I'm just being careful. What if you got pregnant?", he said to her softly.
Lucy didn't react to his words. She was actually surprised. She couldn't hold it in.
"Why? Don't you want a baby with me?", she asked him. She was actually thrilled hearing the idea. Little Aubrey and little Lucy running around their feet would definitely make the best memories.
"Don't worry too much, dear husband. Even if I become pregnant, it won't be a hindrance to you or me. In fact, it will make us want to fight more for our future children. Only when we have something to lose will we start to fight for real.", Lucy said, she nodded to her own words, seemingly satisfied.
Aubrey couldn't help but felt happy beyond anything. He was so blessed to have met her in this life. Her optimism got through him everytime she said something encouraging to him. She was really his therapist.
Aubrey felt relieved when Lucy said it was alright. She always said things he wanted to hear the most.
"So.. what do you want to do?", she smiled at him seductively.
"Don't say I don't warn you.", Aubrey grabbed her waist and she fell right on top of his chest. He kissed her the same way she had kissed him. Rough and fierce..
"Ah-", her lips hurt when he bit them suddenly. But he then licked the area, where she felt something other than pain to linger around it.
"I want my wedding night!", she said, she wasn't a patient woman.
"Easy wife.", he said.
"Ohh dear husband! You finally call me your wife!", she became excited.
He kissed her lips again and he pinched her waist which make her let out a wince. And then, she took the liberty to undress herself on top of him. He was enjoying the sight of her.. she was too beautiful.
And then he sat up while still embracing her by the waist. Both of them were in the position where they were sitting on the bed. Lucy encircled her arms around his neck and he locked her up with his hand. They kissed again. Their tongue became hot and slippery. She shoved her tongue inside when he gave her entrance. Her tongue was happily searching for his and when they met, they fought with the other playfully. Sucking and licking non stop.
"Mmh..", she was feeling good. His insides were wet and she liked it.
They continued playing until the wetness couldn't be contained. Their saliva came running down from their lips to their chin.
"mm.. ah..", Lucy's body started to burn. She wanted to wipe her mouth with her palm, but his tongue went over from her bottom lips down to her wet chin. He licked her dribble using his own tongue. She widened her eyes.
"Aubrey-", and she saw him swallow it. He licked his thumb while his eyes never leave her alone. Staring at her as if she was a cookie.
Her face heated up in redness. He was becoming better and sexier in bed..
