The Dark Swan 18+

The Dark Swan 18+

​In the neon-soaked heart of Las Vegas, two worlds are destined to collide: one built on absolute power, and the other on desperate survival. Lucien Thorne is a 1.8-meter-tall predator who owns the very air of the Strip, ruling a global empire from the shadowed VIP lounge of his premier club with a heart of stone and a mind for cold calculation. He is the devil who never negotiates and never forgets. Stepping into his line of sight is Aurelia Van Guard, a woman who should have been a college graduate but is instead a daughter drowning in her father’s gambling debts and her mother’s terminal illness. Forced to take her mother’s place on the stage of the city’s most elite club, Aurelia is a girl with everything to lose, hiding her double life behind a veil of glamour. She is a survivor looking for a way out; he is a hunter who never lets go. When the "Devil" turns his eyes toward the new girl in the spotlight, the game changes. In a city where everything has a price, Aurelia is about to find out if she can escape the grasp of a man who feels no remorse, or if she will become the one thing the devil finally refuses to let go.

Chapter: Chapter 79: Every Inch Mine
Aurelia The ceiling above me stared back down, its off-white paint peeling around damp, dark patches of mold.The low, steady hum of static from the ancient TV was the only thing keeping me grounded. Without it, I knew the suffocating wall of silence would close in on me—just like it used to during those long, lonely months when Lucien kept me trapped inside his penthouse suite.Lucien...I wondered what he was doing right now.He must've know.. He must've already know that I escaped his security. A pang of guilt twisted in my stomach as I thought of Jean; he would be the one taking the burn of Lucien’s wrath.Lucien was probably furious—exploding, cold, and burning with a lethal rage.And yet, a small, foolish piece of my heart couldn't help but wonder...Will he yearn for me? For my touch, my voice, my laughter?For I have filled his dark, quiet world with so much warmth. So much light that, for a brief time, the feared mob boss had softened only for me. He had smiled—a genuine

Chapter: Chapter 78: Neon and Dust
Aurelia The quietness of the outskirt town unsettled me. Instead of feeling calm and quiet, it felt eerie and dark. I looked around, trying to find a single soul, only to look straight at an empty dessert.I don’t know where I am, I just took the bus and ride as far as I can, because the further I can escape Vegas, the less chance Lucien Thorne can find me. I walked ahead of me, my hand gripping the backpack that I usually wore daily in campus, inside it sit a few snacks, bottle of water and a pair of wig and outfit that manage to fool Lucien’s guards. I’ve also managed to pull out sum of cash from my own ATM. For now I will only rely on cash to survive, so that Lucien won’t be able to trace it. The cool night air slapped my face, it was late at night, and cold. But I had no other choice than to keep moving forward.Strange, just a week ago I was laughing, rolling on his bed, happy to see him home after a long hard day work. And now, I’m in the middle of nowhere, trying to run a

Chapter: Chapter 77: The Illusion of Submission
Lucien's"What do you mean she's gone??"My voice was low. I sounded cold and calculated on the outside, but inside, a violent, suffocating wave of panic was already clawing at my throat."She left the campus grounds, unnoticed..." Jean's voice filled the line, heavy with defeat."You must be kidding me. You lost track of her? She is a defenseless little girl, and you are six armed, military-trained men," I murmured softly, though the vicious anger bleeding through my words was more than palpable."Is everything alright, Lucien?" Gianna asked from across our table, her sharp eyes tracking me with sudden curiosity."Yes, just a minor issue in Vegas. If you'll excuse me." I stood up, not waiting for her response, and stepped away from the table."Look, she went to the bathroom, and as usual, we waited outside for her... but she never came back out," Jean explained, his panicked voice the only thing I focused on as I brushed past a waiter carrying a tray of drinks."Never came out?" I re

Chapter: Chapter 76: A Keeper, Not A Queen
Aurelia The quietness of the room enveloped me. Yet my mind refused to stop echoing Silas's words.Just keep her as your mistress.Of course. That was the harsh reality I had to face.Why would I allow myself to even think this could end up in a happy ending?I'm just merely his purchase, a one million dollars purchase he spent for my virginity.How could I forget the true nature of our relationship?Was I that stupid? That naive? To believe he would ever choose me over a mafia princess who could save his entire empire was completely illogical. And to picture him having an heir with her—a son to inherit his legacy while I remained a hidden bed warmer in his penthouse forever...Tears slipped silently down my cheeks.I couldn't stand the image forming in my head. It disgusted me, and it made me feel repulsive to my own self. How could I let myself sink this far? I can't do this..I shouldn't even be here..But he holds my freedom.. My head lifted up, to the floor-to-ceiling wind

Chapter: Chapter 75: A Blood Alliance
Aurelia's It has been a while since Lucien came home, and I've been caught up in a whirlwind of love. Now that he’s back, he spent most of his days working downstairs in the executive office beneath our penthouse in Thorne Tower. That means we got to spend our evenings together a lot. In fact, ever since he returned, it seems like he couldn’t keep his hands off of me. So even during the working hours, he’ll bring me down to his office just to keep him company—and perhaps, to do a few inappropriate things, which I'm not really proud of. But what can I say? I fell in love—hard, fast, and so clearly that I couldn't even deny the feeling anymore. I know I shouldn't. Because no part of loving a kingpin like him would ever be considered normal. But we're so deep in this... whatever this relationship was supposed to be, I’m not sure. All I know is, I love him, and he seems like so deeply infatuated with me that I'm pretty sure there's emotion of love underneath it too, but unfo

Chapter: Chapter 74: The Key To My Heart
Lucien’sAurelia's hands were gripping my arms like it's the last thing on her life line. Her eyes closed, while her breath starting to catch up to a more steady rhythm. "I... can't believe... you made me... cum in the library..." She gritted her teeth before slowly opening her eyes, staring at me with half disbelief and half murderous intent.I only chuckled, my fingers slowly pulling out of her warmth. Her wetness coated me, slick and warm. I raised my hand up, eyes locked on hers, before I slowly stuck my fingers inside my mouth, sucking them clean with a sound that made her cheeks blush furiously."Lucien!" she hissed, hastily pulling up her pants and looking anywhere but at me.That made me laugh all over again.God, I've missed her. Seeing her like this again, shy, flustered, right after cumming under my fingers, it made me feel alive again. "Why so shy, Aurelia? We’ve done much more than this," I smirked, watching her rush to straighten her clothes."You know why! We should
