Lyra's POV

Luca was more than pissed this time. His feline eyes had gone dangerous.

"Maelis, you have no right to call Cassian here. You have no right to stalk me, or to stalk Lyra. This is her house, in fact, this is practically an invasion of privacy. This is—"

"Oh, shush, boy. Shush." Maelis waved her hand dismissively, then clapped her hands together. "Cassian should be here any moment now."

As if on cue, I heard footsteps.

Before I could even process it, a shadow fell across the doorway co

    Lyra's POVMy finger tremble as I struggled to comprehend what was going on. I stared at the clock, it was way past midnight and there were just few cars driving past.Still unsure of the news I heard, I quickly grabbed my phone and dialed my mother's line. It rang for a while and was finally connected, “Mom! Mom?”“This is the doctor speaking, if you're related to the owner of this phone, you really should come soon. She collapsed but we're slowly putting her in her steady condition.”A wave of heartache hit my chest, I was struggling to breathe well. “Oh, and her granddaughter is here. We might have to hand her over to the police soon.” The voice added and the call ended.I stared around frantically, unsure of what to even do.“Is your mother okay?” Kira asked“Tell the manager an emergency came up and I had to go home quickly. He'll understand.” I said and dashed out of the supermarket.The security guard attempted to stop me and question why I was in such an hurry, but I swooped p

    Lyra's POVMy day started as usual, I dropped Eleanor at my grandma's and resumed work immediately. Luca had left home very early today, I woke up early but he had left sleep..That was expected though, he surely had a lot to handle.I hopped out of the taxi on reaching the supermarket and paid the driver. “Thank you.” he said and zoomed off..I sighed, gazing around at the street. Cars drove past, all heading to their various destinations. I looked out for any suspicious looking van but none was in sight.“What am I even doing here? He would not send another van to abduct me just a day after the first one.” I said and scoffed. I headed into the supermarketKira's eyes met with mine as soon as I walked in, her face brightened with a smile. “Morning, miss Lyra.” She said delightfully as I walked past her.“Hey, Kira.”I reached the lobby and opened my drawer to grab my work clothes. As soon as I pulled the handle, a white paper fell down.My mind skipped, this looked identical to the

    Luca's POVMy father stood by the doorway, gazing at me like he always did, with an emotionless face. “Hey, father. I have been waiting around for quite a while now.”“Twenty five minutes, to be exact.” He said and approached me.I checked my wristwatch, it really did seem like just twenty five minutes had passed since I arrived. Once more, he was showing his mysterious side.He grabbed a golf club and positioned himself. Kiara set down a ball in front of him, we both watched as he struck the ball. It flew across the land and landed just a few feets from the cup.“How in the world do you always do that?” I asked, impressed by his skills despite being much older than he was when he started.“You get better the older you get.” He muttered.I squinted my eyes, “I really doubt that, the best you'll gain is experience. Perhaps you're right to begin with.”I statedHe shrugged his shoulders and continued hitting the ball.“What do you want, Luca? Surely you did not miss your old man and deci

    Luca's POV“ I'll be heading out now, Lyra. See you.” I said and waited to see if she'll respond.No response came, I shrugged my shoulders and stepped out. “Maybe she's still sleeping. It was such a long day anyways.”I hopped in my car, zooming off for my father's mansion. It was a long ride from here, and I took my good time.Like I always did, I stopped by a cafe to grab a hot cup of coffee. Then I continued driving to my father's mansion.It had been a while I last saw him, the last time was just us sitting in the same room too, not much ever goes on between us.I continued driving to his mansion, hoping I would not run into Maelis this time. She wasn't someone I liked seeing often, her personality is completely different from what I can cope with.On reaching the gate, it immediately slid open as the security recognized my car. I drove in and parked in the lot.“Welcome, Mister Luca. It's great to have you here again.” A guard said as he opened the door for me.I stepped out rel

    Lyra's POVKira stood still for a while before finally comprehending what I said. She covered her mouth in shock, “One of the Rourke's children lives with you?” she asked and stared around frantically.I quickly pulled her aside before she makes a noise and attract Luca. “Just take a seat and don't say a single word. I'll be right back.”She took her seat on one of the chairs and watched as I left. I took Eleanor to her room, she immediately walked to her bed and laid down.“You seem tired today.” I said and kissed her cheek before leaving her room.I went to my room afterwards, it had been such a long day. I was exhausted and still concerned about a lot of things.Theron sending his men to abduct me finally showed how far he would really go to get things done. Who knows if would randomly do it again if he feels like? I could not risk letting that happen again.“I should speak to Luca about this. If not anyone else, I must talk to him. He knows his father well and would probably sugge

    Lyra's POVOur shifts ended, it was time to finally head home. Kira and I walked home together this time, her sister remained back to finish her work, she had been slow and didn't finish most of her work earlier.“Are you sure you should leave her behind? I thought you two would go home together.” I asked Kira as we exited the supermarket.She scoffed, “Who cares about that low life. She can do whatever she wants. We actually never go home together, I just see her arrive whenever she wants. She is old enough too.” Kira replied.I couldn't tell if this was normal for her or she was just keen on hearing more of what I had to tell her. Kira was pretty invested in the story, mainly because it involved the Rourke family.I sighed and continued walking, she waved down a taxi and we both hopped in.The car had started moving before I noticed what was going on. “Wait, why are we boarding the same taxi home? Do we live the same part of the city?” I asked her.“Oh we actually do.” She replied s

    Lyra's POVThe next morning, I woke up and the first thing I did was to go check if the door had been fixed. I had texted John, the handyman to come fix it very early.I walked into the living room to see a white paper on the table. My mind skipped, did Theron send another message already?Slowly,

Luca however was suddenly out of words.He had been vibrant all along but was suddenly quite, this was already showing the secret might be of importance.“You can't speak anymore, Luca? I thought you had a

    Lyra's POV"What's in this for you, Luca?"Maelis asked the same question I had burning in my mind.And I really looked forward to hearing the answer."Don't think for a second that I believe this sudden proposal is out of the goodness of your heart," she continued, taking a step closer. "You've ne

    I squeezed my eyes shut so fast I nearly gave myself whiplash."Oh my God—""Shit—" Luca released me immediately, and I heard the sound of fabric rustling as he scrambled to retrieve the towel. "Okay, okay, don't...just give me a second.""I'm not looking!" My voice came out strangled. "I am NOT lo
