Bound By Blood, Saved By Love Chapter 28: Unspoken Things
Leo sat quietly in his office, the afternoon light spilling through the blinds and casting long shadows on the floor. His head bent over a stack of folders, his fingers flipping through them, but his mind wasn’t fully in it.A knock came—soft, almost hesitant.Before he could say anything, his assistant pushed the door open. “Sir, someone’s here to see you.”“Tell them...” he started, but the words died on his tongue when she walked in.Diane.His heart pounded violently in his chest. He froze. For a moment, everything else—papers, deadlines, stress, the company vanished. He just stared."Diane," he breathed.It wasn’t a hallucination. It wasn’t a memory. She was really here. In front of him. Her heels tapped softly against the tiled floor as she walked to the visitor's chair, dropped her handbag on the desk, and crossed her legs. Calm, poised. Like she still owned the room. Like nothing had changed.Leo blinked. His senses slowly returned."I... I really wasn't expecting you..." he s
Bound By Blood, Saved By Love Chapter 27: Luca's Effect
Clarissa straightened slightly, as though remembering she was supposed to resist whatever charm was floating in the air between them.“I’m not here to waste your time. I just came for something you already have.”She narrowed her eyes. “Which is? Mr...”“Van Driscoll,” Luca said easily, stepping closer. “Luca Van Driscoll.”Her brows rose just slightly at the name, but she masked it quickly, her hands folding neatly on the table.“I’m not authorized to give out internal financial data, Mr…?” she said, having already figured out what he came for.His brother had called earlier, asking about a transaction. She assumed Luca had come for the same thing—and she wasn’t wrong.“Exactly what you said earlier,” Luca said coolly, “but I’m here now... in person.”“That doesn’t change protocol,” she said, though her voice had lost a bit of its edge. “Unless you’re here with a legal order, I can’t—”Luca didn’t answer immediately.Instead, his gaze dropped slowly, from her eyes to her lips… then l

The phone rang again, cutting sharply through the silence. Luca groaned softly, his body buried under the sheets. He reached for the nightstand lazily, fingers fumbling around until they landed on his phone. One eye cracked open. Leo. He exhaled, already irritated. But he answered. “What?” Leo’s voice exploded on the other end. “Are you insane, Luca? I’ve been calling you since last night! You didn’t see my calls? What the hell were you doing last night?” Luca furrowed his brows, still trying to wake. He sat up slowly, rubbing the side of his face. "You were calling?" He asked confused. He didn’t realize Leo had been calling. Last night had blurred into chaos—he’d been too occupied making Rhea Voss pay for hitting him. “I didn’t know you were calling,” he said, voice rough. “I wasn’t looking at my phone. I was… busy.” He didn’t say more. He didn’t need to. His silence was enough for Leo to guess. “Busy?” Leo snapped. “W
Bound By Blood, Saved By Love Chapter 25: Lockbox
Jace stepped into the late Mr. Robert Van Driscoll's office. As soon as the familiar scent hit his face, he groaned. "Smells just like that old man," he grunted under his breath. His face twisted with displeasure as he stepped in deeper. He hadn’t set foot in here a single day in his life—not even when the man was still alive. Not even after he began working here. Everything in the office was curated in Robert's taste: the dark mahogany furniture, the heavy leather chairs, the overpriced abstract art pieces that screamed wealth and control. He stood at the center of the room and looked around. Cold. Stiff. Silent. Just like the man had always been. On the table was a photo frame of Robert and young Leo. Both suited up, smiling, gleaming like the perfect father-son duo. They looked happy. Content. And like Jace had never existed. "Old fool," Jace muttered, flipping the frame facedown on the desk. He didn’t want to see him. Not even in pictures. Moving to the shelf, he sta

Luca Van Driscoll’s POV “Damn it.” Luca hissed under his breath as he leaned back in the leather chair, staring at the screen like it owed him money. The office was quiet, except for the annoying hum of the desktop in front of him. “This is bullshit,” he muttered, clicking through yet another boring email folder. “I didn’t sign up to play detective.” He shoved a handful of gummy bears into his mouth and chewed like he was angry at them too. “It’s been two damn days of this crap,” he muttered. All these stupid folders labeled by dates, codes, numbers were like a digital graveyard of someone else’s secrets. And that someone else just had to be his dead father. “Edwards better be glad he’s old,” he grumbled, scrolling again. “Or I’d shove this damn hard drive down his throat.” He clicked open a folder marked ‘private --6B Transfered’. “Finally,” he muttered, squinting as the screen filled with message threads, file attachments, and confusing numbers. “Let’s see what k
Bound By Blood, Saved By Love Chapter 23: Silent Evidence
The living room of the Van Driscoll mansion was unnervingly quiet. Afternoon sun filtered through the massive glass panels, casting fractured shadows on the sleek marble floor. But nothing felt beautiful today.Leo stood by the window, pacing. Back and forth. His shoes made sharp, restless taps against the floor, the tension in his shoulders clear with every movement.Jace sat on a single-seater, legs crossed, arms folded. His usual composure was intact but his eyes were distant, narrowed. For the first time, he didn’t look like he had it all figured out. Maybe it was the company falling apart or maybe Sarah’s rejection hit harder than he thought. No one really knew.Luca, on the other hand, sat on the arm of the couch, one leg bouncing wildly. He was chewing gum too loud, too fast. He looked edgy. The kind of edgy you get when something valuable is slipping through your fingers. Was it the company he was worried about? Or just his fat assets crashing with it?“So turns out Daddy Dear
