Pampered by My Secret Husband-Chapter 543 - 546: Let Me Hold You Again

"I didn’t expect to return and hear the news that you were injured and had gone abroad for treatment."

Saying this, Lucifer held her tighter, as if afraid she would disappear. "Now it seems that news was false. Your injury is real, but you weren’t receiving treatment; you were destroying yourself."

Sophie Sullivan patted Lucifer’s back. "I can hardly breathe..."

"Let me hold you a bit longer," Lucifer grumbled, dissatisfied. "Just a little longer."

Seeing his apparent distress, Sophie Sullivan grudgingly agreed.

But... wouldn’t it be awkward if the two of them were seen huddled together in the hot spring? The rising steam made their faces flush. Not to mention how tightly Lucifer was holding her; it was as if he wanted to embed her deep within his bones.

"Lucifer."

"Hmm?" Lucifer’s tone rose, indescribably sexy.

Sophie Sullivan muttered to herself, He’s such a devil!

As if Thomas Shannon wasn’t enough, now there was her seductive childhood sweetheart. Sophie Sullivan truly didn’t know if she could handle it.

"I’ve said my piece. Now it’s your turn."

Sophie Sullivan placed her hands on his chest. Even through the bathrobe, she could feel its firmness. "Tell me about my family history. I want to hear it."

"Have you ever heard of the Onassis Family?"

Lucifer released her. Cupping her delicate chin with one hand, he gazed intensely into her eyes.

Sophie Sullivan shook her head. "Does it have something to do with me?"

"Your name is Cecilia Branford-Onassis, and you are the heir to the Onassis Family."

Sophie Sullivan’s pupils contracted instantly. So, all these ordeals I’ve experienced... were because someone wants me dead?

"The Onassis Family controls all the oil resources of Country F and is one of the world’s three largest oil tycoons. Do you understand now?"

Oil, known as black gold, is an invaluable resource in the 21st Century.

The Onassis Family is incredibly wealthy. From the day Cecilia Branford was born, she lived like a little princess.

Her unparalleled beauty and capricious temperament became well-known among the citizens of Country F as she grew.

Due to her temperament, she had almost no female friends. The only person inseparable from her was His Highness Lucifer.

Lucifer held a noble status, yet Cecilia Branford showed no deference to him. She went as far as to order, within the Onassis Old Castle, that he not be addressed as ’Your Highness’ but only as ’Young Master’.

This order has continued to this day.

Lucifer also indulged her greatly. From childhood, he accompanied her in pranks and mischief, helped her bully girls who spoke ill of her, and even ordered his own attendants to change how they addressed him. Except on formal occasions, they were forbidden to call him ’Your Highness’; they could only call him ’Master’.

The legendary exploits of His Highness Lucifer and Miss Cecilia Branford were widely recounted throughout Country F.

She was capricious, willful, and domineering.

She was kind-hearted yet held grudges and would retaliate against anyone who crossed her.

Yet this Miss Cecilia Branford, whose beauty was matched only by her temper, made annual charitable donations amounting to ninety-five percent of Country F’s total.

She invested in schools, built hospitals, focused on various diseases, and championed national education. She unconditionally supported economically disadvantaged children and students.

To patients tormented by diseases, who could only await life’s end due to unaffordable medical treatments, she unconditionally offered medical aid.

Amidst praise and scorn, Miss Cecilia Branford continued to live flamboyantly and true to herself.
