“Derek!”. Ava called standing up. Kayla stood up immediately with her gun ready in her hands, possessively standing in front of Ava. "Calm down, Kayla," Ava pleaded, her voice filled with urgency. "I know who he is!.""He's not welcome here, ma'am!" Kayla retorted, her voice laced with a mix of anger and protectiveness. Her eyes never left Derek, her finger hovering over the trigger, ready to defend Ava at any cost. "Sir Derek, you have no business here," Kayla warned, her voice firm and commanding. "I'd advise you to leave before the don gets back!.”“I’m here for her!”. Derek said, stepping closer. "One more movement from you, and I won't hesitate to shoot. And you know I don't make empty threats, Derek!!." Kayla declared.“Kayla, I know who he is. He's my friend," Ava insisted."But ma'am! I'm just following the orders of the don. He specifically said that only Maya and Nathan are allowed here. And Derek, of all people, is not a friend but an enemy," Kayla explained.Ava looked
Ava tried to stifle her sobs, but they continued to escape her lips in uncontrollable bursts. She had cried so much that her eyes were starting to hurt. The pain of witnessing Kayla's brutal punishment was unbearable, and the guilt weighed heavily on her shoulders. It was her fault that Kayla had suffered, her actions that had led to this moment.She sniffed, her tears threatening to overwhelm her. How had Lucian changed so drastically? He had always been gentle and kind, never even harming a fly, let alone another person. When had he become so cruel?.The sound of the bed creaking caught her attention, signalling that Lucian had finally retired for the night. She hadn't laid eyes on him since he had ordered the brutal punishment of Kayla.Her heart pounded in her chest as she felt Lucian's strong arms wrap around her, his touch both comforting and suffocating at the same time. Lucian's voice broke through her thoughts, his tone commanding and harsh. "Stop crying!" he ordered, his gr
Ava woke up to find herself alone in bed, her heart sinking as she realised Lucian was not by her side. She let out a heavy sigh, rubbing her tired eyes as she scanned the room for any trace of him.Slowly rising from the bed, she wrapped a cosy robe around her body and made her way out of the room, to look for Lucian. She was still worried about Kayla, hoping nothing is wrong with her.As she stepped into the hallway, she was greeted by Drake, who had a warm smile on his face. "Good morning, Donna”. he said cheerfully, still standing guard by the door.Ava couldn't help but roll her eyes, her mind immediately jumping to the conclusion that Lucian had placed Drake there to keep an eye on her, preventing any chance of escape. "Am I allowed to walk around freely, or am I trapped in a cage within this room?." she snapped, her tone laced with bitterness.Drake bowed a little, before responding.“Don said you can only walk inside the mansion; you ain't allowed to step outside."Ava's eyes
Lucian was not one to kneel for anyone, but there he was, on his knees, pleasuring her. His head buried in her thigh, each thrust of his tongue rewarded with a moan from her. Her moans were like music to his ears. Each moan was like a sweet melody to his ears, fueling his desire to please her even more."Me vuelves tan loco, love!" he growled, his voice filled with a mix of passion and longing. (You drive me so fucking crazy, love). He sucked her dry, trailing kisses from her thigh up to her neck.His gaze was intense as he slowly loosened her robe, allowing it to gracefully fall onto the table. His eyes fixated on her hardened, rosy nipple, causing his tongue to instinctively wet his lips. As he kissed her neck, he gently squeezed her breasts, savouring their softness in his hands before taking them into his mouth.A low, primal growl escaped his lips as he sucked, bit, and teased her nipples, alternating between each one. The sensations sent waves of pleasure coursing through her bo
Lucian sat in his office, deep in thought, absentmindedly tapping his finger on the desk."Thinking about Ava?" a voice asked, interrupting his thoughts."Lucas!" Lucian smirked."Well, I can't blame you! She's so attractive!" Lucas said, dreamily, taking a seat."She's more than just hot, man. She's like a goddess walking among mortals." he added. "Why were you so lost in thought that you didn't even hear me knock?" Lucas added."I'm thinking about her! I just can't understand how well she's pretending!" Lucian sighed."Do you really think she did it?" Lucas asked."Cameras don't lie, Lucas! If someone had told me, I wouldn't believe it, but I saw her myself!" Lucian responded.Lucas pondered for a moment before suggesting, "Why don't you just talk to her? Maybe there's more to the story." “I tried my best," Lucian whispered, his voice filled with desperation. "I tried to sweet talk her gently, but I couldn't bring myself to ask her if she really murdered my mother. I just... I jus
Lucian, however, couldn't meet Nathan's gaze, a strange unease settling within him.In an attempt to mask his vulnerability, Lucian mustered a cold tone."Well, I guess you'll never know then," he replied, his words laced with a hint of bitterness."I do now," he declared, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.Confusion clouded Lucian's face as he questioned, "How so?."A mischievous smirk danced across Nathan's lips as he retorted, "Because you're here!".Lucian's heart skipped a beat, his mind racing to comprehend Nathan's words. "I... I am not your father," he stammered, his voice tinged with uncertainty."But you're old enough to give birth to me!"."Are you indirectly calling me an old man?" he asked, his tone laced with mock offence."Ain't you?" he playfully prodded.“Why didn't you call your father?" Lucian's voice was filled with curiosity and a hint of concern.Nathan's response was a quiet, almost defeated whisper. "I don't know who he is."Lucian's eyebrows shot up in surprise, h
Lucian's heart pounded in his chest as he took a step back, his eyes locked on Ava."He is... he is my son?.” Lucian managed to stammer, his voice filled with disbelief and confusion.Nathan's words echoed in his mind.(She said he never left us and... But honestly, it doesn't matter to me anymore. I can't help but feel like my mom is trying to defend his despicable actions. Why else would a father be absent from his son's life for eight years?"."I suppose I just wanted to experience what it's like to be taken to a park by my own father.""I never thought I needed to know who my father was. I believed I could thrive with just my mother's love.)Lucian's voice trembled as he whispered, "Why? Why did you not tell me he was mine?".Tears welled up in her eyes as she replied, "I wanted to tell you, but...".Lucian's anger flared, his voice rising in frustration. "You wanted to tell me?." he shouted, cutting her off. The pain and betrayal he felt were overwhelming, clouding his judgement.
Today marks it a week since I last saw Lucian after he had angrily stormed out of the room when he found Nathan was his son. I have asked Drake and Kayla countless times about his whereabouts, but their response remains the same."I have no idea where the don has gone, Ava!" Kayla says, helping me comb my hair, as she watch me through the mirror.Despite their consistent denial, I can't shake the feeling that they're hiding something from me."Do you think he's avoiding me because of what happened?" I ask, studying Kayla's reaction in the mirror.She hesitates before responding, choosing her words carefully."I can't say for certain. Only you truly know Lucian well enough to predict his actions," Kayla replies.I sigh, realising that the Lucian I once knew, the man I thought I understood, is no longer the same. Seven years have changed him, and now I find myself unable to anticipate his next move.“Kayla!" I called out, my voice filled with urgency.She raised her head, looking at me
