Revenge Begins: Reincarnated as a Hated Idol!-Chapter 56: The Devil’s Bargain

"Lisa, sweetheart, you are finally here."

Lucian was standing in the hall, wearing lavender robes that matched his hair, his amethyst eyes gazing at Lisa’s body with a faint lust hidden beneath their gleam.

The hall was brightly lit, a luxurious sofa set in the center, stairs spiraling to the upper floor on the right, a kitchen to the left, a large double-door refrigerator beside the kitchen slab, and a few plants in large pots, similar in size to a vat, placed in corners as decorations.

Some of these vat-sized pots were even placed beside the sofas.

"Come, take a seat."

He walked up to Lisa and, placing a hand on her back, invited her to the sofa.

Lisa immediately jerked forward, disgusted by his touch.

Even though Lucian noticed it, he didn’t react openly.

It was only inside; his real thoughts roamed free: ’Hmph. Act all you want. Now that you are here, there is no escape for you. You are already mine.’

On the exterior, he maintained an amiable smile: "Come."

Lisa walked to one of the sofas, her heels making clacking echoes with her each step as she took a seat.

She was wearing blue jeans and a white sweater above a blue shirt with her sleeves rolled upward, revealing her slender forearms and a silver bracelet hanging around her wrist. Aren had suggested this outfit of hers.

He had told Lisa, "If he decides to force himself on you, a simple dress is easy to tear and remove, so you need to wear something difficult to forcefully remove. After all, we will need some time to come and rescue you once he begins forcing himself on you."

A tight blue jeans wasn’t something Lucian could easily remove against Lisa’s will. Same could be said about the sweater.

The sound of Lucian locking the door attracted Lisa’s attention at that moment, prompting her to look back at him and speak in a frightened tone: "W-Why are you locking the door?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Lucian smiled politely: "So we can have a conversation in peace."

Even though he was polite when he said this, Lisa couldn’t help but shiver, knowing the hidden meaning behind his words.

She immediately stood up and threatened with a determined expression: "Open the lock or I’ll leave."

This situation was also something Aren had warned her about.

"If he locks the door, threaten to leave. Since he wants to coax you into having sex with him, he will agree. Moreover, getting frightened by Lucian locking the door is natural. He won’t suspect you to be hiding something. He’ll think that he is in full control. Just appear vulnerable and let him believe that he is in control."

And as he had said, Lucian raised both hands to his chest, his palms facing Lisa as he said with a friendly smile, "Alright, alright, I won’t lock the door. Don’t leave."

Click!

He unlocked the door, walking towards the sofa with a polite smile: "Please sit down," he said.

Lisa obeyed as Lucian took a seat beside her, sitting at a close distance.

He turned to her and asked, "Lisa, do you want to become a top actress? Someone who appears in high budget movies, headlines events, and has a great influence in the industry?"

Lisa didn’t answer, remaining silent with her gaze lowered to the marble floor. Her body language was submissive and frightened, giving Lucian more pleasure as he said his next words.

He put his hand above hers gently; however, before he could speak, she retracted her hand joltingly, startled by his touch.

He didn’t mind, even enjoying her reaction as he spoke: "I can help you become the top actress of this country. I can get you roles in high budget movies and dramas. I can provide you with resources and endorsement deals. You will be more famous and rich than you can even imagine."

Lisa’s eyes widened, not because of Lucian’s words, but because of Aren. His prediction had turned out to be correct.

"Bastards like Lucian follow a fixed pattern. They only have so much they can use to get you to sleep with them. He will first try the easy and safe route. He will try to coax you with sweet words, telling you he can give you this and that if you just sleep with him. Remember, all of these are lies. In his eyes, you are just a source of pleasure. He doesn’t care about you. He will say these same words to his next target as well. Do not fall for them."

Even though Lisa knew Lucian’s words were false temptation, she couldn’t help but wonder what would have happened if she hadn’t known about them beforehand.

Would she have been fooled?

She didn’t know.

However, she was thankful that she knew Lucian’s reality beforehand, thanks to Aren.

Lucian, on the other hand, noticed Lisa’s reaction and smiled internally: ’You are tempted, right? Take the bait. I can’t wait to have my way with you, hehe.’

However, when he didn’t see her turning to him or show any further reaction, he started to have doubts: ’What’s wrong? Can she really resist her greed and ambition? Looks like I need to put some more effort.’

He smiled at Lisa as if he were doing her a favor and spoke: "Think about it. You can have my full support. You can rise to the highest heights of the entertainment industry. In return..."

His gaze turned lustful as he reached for her thigh, caressing it seductively: "You only need to become mine for tonight."

Lisa immediately grabbed his hand and threw it away, glaring at him: "I’m not interested. I’m leaving."

As she rose up to leave, Lucian’s cold voice entered her ears: "Do you really want to do that? If you deny me, I’ll end your career. You should already know that. I’ll make your life hell. Think about it: what if your manager drives your car to an isolated place and has his way with you? What can you do about it? Or worse, multiple men waited at that isolated place and violated your body, even recording it to blackmail you. Can you do anything?"
