Chapter 41 +25 BONUS However , Lucy showed up alone , with the money in hand .
Seeing how easily she got the cash , Peters mood soared .
It seemed Duncan was treating her well , and he figured there might be even more to gain from her in the future .
Feeling smug , Peter stepped out from behind a large rock and slowly approached Lucy , wrapping his arms around her from behind .
Did you miss me , baby ? he whispered , muzzling his face against hers .
The scent of Lucys perfume stirred something in Peter , and his hands began roaming over her body .
But after experiencing a man like Duncan , Lucy now found Peter utterly repulsive .
She pushed him away forcefully , her voice cold and detached , Peter , take the money , and were clone .
Dont come looking for me again .

Peter smirked and , undeterred , reached out to touch her again , but Lucy recoiled as if she had just touched something filthy .
Keep your hands to yourself ! she snapped .
Peter chuckled , bending down to unzip the bag .
When he saw it was filled with cash , his eyes lit up .
Not bad , he grinned .
Looks like Duncans treating you well .
Lucy , youve hit the jackpot , havent you ? Found yourself a sugar daddy .
He grabbed the money and turned to leave , but Lucy called after him , You promised wed be done after this ! No more between us , right ? Peter looked back , his laugh even more brazen now .
Lucy , youre too naïve for this world .
Do you really think Id just let you , my golden goose , live the good life while Im stuck struggling ? He planned to bleed Duncan dry through Lucy .
Duncan owed the Leverton family , and Peter was going to get back everything they had lost .
Lucy couldnt find the words to express her anger .
She wanted to rip Peter apart with her own hands , but just as she was about to lunge at him , Duncan stepped out from behind the rocks , stopping her , Duncan had been hiding nearby the entire time , arriving even earlier than Peter .
He had suspected for the last couple of days that Lucy was in contact with someone , so he had listened in on her phone calls .
He hadnt expected it to be Peter .
Lucy froze when she saw Duncan step in , swallowing her curses toward Peter .
Her only hope was that Peter would leave quickly without crossing paths with Duncan .
Duncan gently held Lucy , who was trembling with frustration .
Dont worry , hes not going anywhere with that money , Duncan said calmly , his voice reassuring Lucys heart clenched at his words .
Had Duncan already planned for this ? Did he know everything ? Did he know about her background and her relationship with Peter ? The thought terrified her .
All she could think of now was helping Peter escape .
She couldnt let Duncan find out the truth about her past or her work .
She anxiously watched as Peter began to disappear from view , her panic rising .
Duncan , you called the police , didnt you ? Lucy asked , trying to remain calm .
I did .
Peter extorted you .
If he did it once , hed do it again , so I had to report him , Duncan replied , confused about why Audrey seemed so scared of him involving the police .
Something deeper was going on .
Duncan couldnt shake the feeling that this wasnt just about simple extortion .
After seeing Peter touch Lucy earlier , he knew he couldnt let this man get away .

Without thinking , she grabbed her phone and frantically called Peter .
Peter , run ! Duncans already called the cops ! Duncan stood there , stunned , unsure how to react .
The woman he loved had just warned the man who tried to blackmail her , telling him to flee .
What was she so afraid of ?
