Ella’s POV

Later that day, I peeped through the thin gap in my curtains.

Lucian’s car rolled out of the estate smoothly, the dark body catching the afternoon light before disappearing through the gates. I stood there longer than necessary, my forehead resting lightly against the glass, my chest doing that quiet, uncomfortable tightening again.

He didn’t look back.

I let the curtain fall and exhaled.

Only then did I step out of my room properly. I went to the kitchen, fixed myself a full breakfa

  • Cinderella and Her Three Knights   Chapter 100: Medical Wars

    Ella’s POVThe groundbreaking ceremony didn't end with a ribbon-cutting; it ended with a streak of black rubber on the asphalt and the sirens of a private security detail clearing a path through the Manhattan gridlock.Lucian didn't let go of my hand for a single second. In the back of the SUV, the air was thick with a tension so sharp it felt like it could draw blood. He was on his satellite phone, his voice a low, lethal staccato of commands."I don't care about the FAA regulations, Julian. Get the Gulfstream fueled and on the tarmac at Teterboro. If the Swiss medical authorities hesitate, buy the clinic. Just get the coordinates."I sat beside him, my mind a fractured kaleidoscope of "what-ifs." Four months. I traced the flat plane of my stomach through the cream silk. I had attributed the exhaustion to the stress of London, the lack of appetite to grief, the occasional flutter to a nervous heart. But now, with Lucian’s eyes burning into mine, those small signals felt like a shout.

  • Cinderella and Her Three Knights   Chapter 99: Lucian proposed to me

    Ella’s POVThe ground of the Monroe Land Trust didn't feel like dirt today; it felt like hallowed ground. For nearly half a century, this sprawling, forgotten tract of land on the edge of the city had been a political chessboard, a source of endless legal battles, and the primary weapon the Chairman used to keep the Blackwoods dominant.But as the early morning sun burned through the gray harbor mist, the only sounds were the distant, high-pitched whine of heavy machinery being moved into place and the rhythmic, muffled thump-thump-thump of a helicopter approaching from the north."Look at them," Isadora said, leaning against the polished obsidian barrier that shielded us from the newly arriving press corps. "They smell the blood of the 'Perfect Son,' and they are starving for a quote from the 'New King.'"I stood beside her, clad in a sharp, cream-colored pantsuit, the fabric flowing around me like water. I wasn't hiding behind the surgical mask anymore. The bob I’d cut in London had

  • Cinderella and Her Three Knights   Chapter 98: Love Escapades

    Ella’s POVThe "New Monroe" era didn't begin with a cold press release or a formal gala. It began in the quiet, charged spaces between meetings, in the way Lucian’s hand would find the small of my back as we navigated the glass-walled corridors, and in the lingering glances that said more than a thousand spreadsheets ever could.The boardroom might have been reset, but the office—the very air of Blackwood-Monroe Global—was being recalibrated by a frequency only we could hear.It was 2:00 PM on a Tuesday, the city below humming with its usual frantic energy, but inside the Chairman’s office, the world had slowed to a crawl. I was ostensibly there to review the blueprints Julian had found, but the technical drawings of my father’s dream tower remained untouched on the mahogany desk.Lucian was sitting in the high-backed leather chair, his jacket discarded, his shirtsleeves rolled up to reveal the corded strength of his forearms. He wasn't looking at the monitors. He was watching me as I

  • Cinderella and Her Three Knights   Chapter 97: The New CEO

    Ella’s POVThe glass tower of Blackwood-Monroe Global didn't just reflect the New York skyline today; it seemed to pierce it with a newfound clarity. The morning smog had lifted, leaving the steel and glass gleaming under a relentless, uncompromising sun.At exactly 9:00 AM, a blacked-out SUV pulled up to the curb. Usually, the arrival of a Blackwood was a silent, somber affair—the car door opening to a flash of dark wool and a hurried retreat into the private elevator. But today, the world was watching.The door opened, and Lucian stepped out. He wasn't the "Shadow" who had haunted the old wing, nor was he the mourning brother who had disappeared seven months ago. He was dressed in a navy three-piece suit that fit his recovered frame with a lethal, tailored precision. He looked every bit the Alpha, but when he turned back to the car, his expression softened into something far more dangerous: devotion.He reached in, taking my hand.I stepped out onto the pavement, the hem of my cream

  • Cinderella and Her Three Knights    Chapter 96: Flour, Fire, and the Morning After

    Ella’s POVThe sunlight in the West Village was different from the light at the Blackwood Estate. At the estate, the sun always felt like a spotlight, harsh and demanding, illuminating every speck of dust on the mahogany and every crack in the family facade. But here, in the kitchen of the townhouse, the light was a soft, buttery yellow that pooled on the butcher-block island and turned the steam from the coffee into a shifting, golden mist.I woke up slow. For the first time in seven months, I didn't bolt upright with my heart in my throat, searching for a face that wasn't there. I woke up to the steady, rhythmic thrum of Lucian’s heart beneath my ear and the heavy, protective weight of his arm draped across my waist.He was already awake. I could tell by the way his chest moved, a deeper, more conscious breath than the shallow cadence of sleep."Morning, Director," he rasped, his voice a low, vibrating growl that sent a delicious shiver down my spine."Morning, Shadow," I murmured,

  • Cinderella and Her Three Knights   Chapter 95: Romantic Sex with Lucian

    Ella’s POVThe West Village townhouse felt like a bell jar, protecting us from the cacophony of the city outside. The scent of the old world—the heavy, metallic tang of the Blackwood Estate and the dusty, paper-thin loneliness of London—had been replaced by the scent of this house: clean linen, rain-damp brick, and the faint, sweet musk of Lucian’s skin.We stood in the center of the cream-colored room, the tiny leather boots sitting on the table like a silent benediction. For a month, we had been "Nurse" and "Patient," "Director" and "Bodyguard," "Victim" and "Avenger." But as the door clicked shut behind us, those titles dissolved into the shadows of the hallway.Lucian didn't move. He stood behind me, his chest a solid, thrumming wall against my back. I could feel the heat radiating from him, a physical force that seemed to pull the air from the room. His hands, once skeletal and trembling in the old wing, were now steady as they settled on my waist."Ella," he whispered, his breat

    Ella’s POVI woke up slowly, the kind of waking that feels like you are being pulled out of water instead of sleep. My eyes opened, but my body stayed still. The ceiling above me looked the same as always—white, perfect, untouched—yet I felt different inside it.It was the weekend.That thought cam
