Cherish Me, Daddy CHAPTER 80: THE SHIFT
LUCEN'S POVThe shift didn’t happen all at once. It never does with someone like me.From the outside, nothing changed. I was still controlled. Still distant. Still exactly what everyone expected the Alpha of this estate to be... cold, untouchable, ruthless, and unaffected. That was the image. That was the truth I chose.But the problem was… I started noticing things I shouldn’t.Him... Eli.It began subtly. Unintentionally. I would find my attention drifting without permission, drawn toward him like something instinctive, something ingrained beneath logic. Eli would be across the room, doing something entirely mundane... reading, arguing with a guard, muttering complaints under his breath... and somehow, my gaze would settle on him and stay there.Too long.“Are you going to keep staring,” Eli said one afternoon, not even bothering to look up from his book, “or do you actually have something to say?”My gaze snapped away immediately. “I wasn’t staring,” I replied flatly.He scoffed,
Cherish Me, Daddy CHAPTER 79: STILL MAD
ELI'S POVThe car fell into silence after that. Lucen leaned back slightly against the seat, his expression once again composed, unreadable. The intensity from earlier hadn’t completely disappeared... I could still feel it lingering in the air, but now it was buried beneath that familiar cold mask he wore so easily.Too easily. My fingers curled slightly against my lap. He’s still angry. Of course he is. I glanced at him from the corner of my eye. He wasn’t looking at me anymore. His gaze was fixed forward, distant, like I wasn’t even there.That shouldn’t bother me. It shouldn’t. Our relationship was a contract after all. But it did. “…you’re not going to say anything?” I asked, breaking the silence.No response. Not even a glance. I frowned slightly. “Lucen.”Still nothing. Seriously? I exhaled quietly, leaning back against the seat. Fine. If he wants to play it like this… “Are you going to stay mad the whole ride?” I muttered, crossing my arms.Silence. I clicked my tongue softly.
Cherish Me, Daddy CHAPTER 78: REACTIONS
ELI'S POVEverything felt too close.The car. The air. Him.My back pressed against the leather seat, chest rising unevenly as I tried to steady my breathing, but it was useless. Lucen’s presence swallowed everything... his scent, his heat, the way his body caged mine in like there was no space left for anything else to exist.“You’re mine, Eli. That’s all that matters.” The words echoed in my head long after he said them, heavy and unyielding. A promise. A warning. I couldn’t tell which one weighed more.My fingers were still gripping his shirt. I didn’t even remember doing that. Maybe... it's instinct or maybe it's intentional... I don't know.Slowly… I loosened them. But I didn’t push him away.Why? My chest tightened at the realization. Because I don’t want to? No. That wasn’t right. Or maybe… it was. And that terrified me more than his jealousy ever could.“Lucen…” My voice came out softer than I intended, still uneven from the kiss, from everything. “You’re overreacting.”The m
Cherish Me, Daddy CHAPTER 77: HIS CLAIM
LUCEN'S POVI never liked crowds. The hum of strangers and the anonymous chatter... it all felt like a tide trying to wash me out of the world I had built for myself. Yet today, I found myself in the middle of a busy mall, the kind of place that Eli loved because it reminded him of mornings spent with his mother. I had followed him, not out of affection but out of habit. Habit, after all, is what keeps a man from spiraling when his protection is an unpredictable animal.Eli was standing at the stall, he was looking at the row of body soap. He looks like he was dissecting each product, comparing their ingredients or maybe their prices.I saw him before Eli even spoke a word. The stranger stood too close, his presence a thin blade cutting through the thin veil of personal space I had drawn around Eli. He moved with a practiced ease, slipping his hand into Eli’s space as if claiming a seat at a table he’d never been invited to. His grin was the kind that makes strangers think they own t
Cherish Me, Daddy CHAPTER 76: HERO
ELI'S POVTwo months passed in a blur.Not the kind of blur that feels light or forgettable... but the kind that drags, heavy and heavy, until I realized time had already slipped through my fingers without asking permission. Life in the estate returned to something that looked like normal. But it wasn’t. Nothing really was after that night.I learned what happened to Ghon in fragments. Never directly from Lucen. Never from Drew. Always from whispers... guards talking when they thought I wasn’t listening, servants lowering their voices just a little too late, details slipping through cracks no one bothered to seal completely.“They tried to interrogate him,” one of the guards said one afternoon. “He almost broke and talked to spill the information he knew.”“Almost?” another asked.“Yeah… then he just… died. No wound. No poison. Just... stopped breathing.”I paused where I stood, pretending to look out the window while every word sank in.“They said the Dreadlord did it.” That made my
Cherish Me, Daddy CHAPTER 75: NUMB
ELI'S POVWaking up felt like clawing my way out of deep water.Every breath dragged, heavy and uncertain, like my lungs were still deciding whether they trusted the air. My body didn’t feel like mine… it felt hollowed out, scraped clean and left too fragile to hold anything steady. For a long moment, I just lay there, eyes still closed, listening to the slow rhythm of my own breathing.Alive.The thought came quietly.Barely believable.My fingers twitched against the sheets. The sensation was dull, delayed, but it was there. Real. I forced my eyes open, and light immediately stabbed through my vision, making me flinch. The ceiling came into view, blurred at first, then slowly sharpening.My room.I made it back.“…sir?” The voice pulled me out of the haze. Familiar. Soft.I turned my head slightly, the motion heavier than it should have been. “Ana…?” My voice came out rough, barely audible, like it had forgotten how to exist.Relief flooded her face instantly. “You’re awake,” she sa
Cherish Me, Daddy CHAPTER 27: HIS STALKER
LUCEN'S POVThe city glowed beneath my office window, all steel and glass and false calm. One-hundred floors up, the world looked orderly. Predictable. Controlled.That illusion shattered every time I looked down. I held the tablet loosely in my hand, but my grip tightened unconsciously a

ELI'S POVThe sting lingered in my palm long after the sound of the slap faded.Elric staggered half a step, more from shock than force. His head turned with the impact, dark hair falling messily across his forehead. For a split second, his smirk vanished, replaced by something raw and ug

ELI’S POVWhen Lucen said the word mating ceremony, something inside me went utterly still. Not calm. Not relieved. Still... like the moment right before a storm breaks, when the air grows heavy and every instinct whispers run even though your feet won’t move.I nodded when he told me. I even smile

ELI'S POV I wake up choking on darkness. For a moment, I don’t know where I am... only that something is wrong. Very wrong. The air smells of pine and damp wood instead of polished stone and incense. The bed beneath me is too narrow, the mattress uneven, like it was made for survival, not comfort.
