Cinderella and Her Three Knights Chapter 90: Adrian almost Caught me!
Ella’s POVThe sound of the ambulance’s hydraulic brakes was a sharp, mechanical hiss that cut through the heavy humid air of the New York night. Outside the tinted glass, the world was a high-contrast nightmare of strobe-light security beams and shifting shadows.Through the narrow gap in the partition, I watched him. Adrian.He looked different from the brother I remembered. The arrogance was still there, etched into the set of his shoulders, but it was brittle now. He was dressed in a sharp, slate-gray suit, but his tie was loosened, and he looked like a man who hadn't slept since he seized the throne. He was holding a tablet, barking orders to a subordinate, until the headlights of our vehicle swept over him.He looked up, his eyes narrowing. He didn't just look; he investigated. He began to walk toward the ambulance, his leather shoes clicking with a rhythmic, predatory pace on the asphalt."Isadora," I whispered, my voice a frantic, airless thread. "He’s coming. He’s going to op
Cinderella and Her Three Knights Chapter 89: I returned with a changed identity
Ella’s POVThe blue light from the phone screen cast flickering, sickly shadows across the Chelsea flat, but all I could see was the hollowed-out version of the man who had once been my entire world. Lucian wasn't just sitting in that chair; he was haunting it. His fingers, thin and trembling, were threaded through the soft wool of the tiny fox sweater—the only physical evidence that our hope had ever existed.I felt the wall behind me slide away as my legs finally gave out. I hit the floor, the cold marble biting into my skin, but the pain was a mercy compared to the sight of him."Ella?" Isadora’s voice was a soft blade, cutting through the silence. She didn't turn around. She didn't have to. She knew the sound of a heart breaking."He looks like he’s already dead, Isadora," I whispered, my voice sounding like it was being pulled through a throat full of glass. "How... how could you let him get like this?""We didn't let him," Isadora said, finally turning her head. Her eyes were re
Cinderella and Her Three Knights Chapter 88: Isadora Found me
Ella’s POVThe London fog didn't just sit outside the bookstore; it seemed to have seeped into my very marrow. Isadora Blackwood stood there, a specter of a life I had amputated without anesthesia, her eyes reflecting the same storm-tossed grey as the Thames."I’m not going back, Isadora," I said, my voice as flat and cold as the coins in the register. "There is no 'home' to go back to. There is a mausoleum filled with people who share a name. That’s it."Isadora didn't flinch. She leaned against a shelf of Victorian poetry, her designer coat looking absurdly out of place among the dusty, foxed edges of second-hand books. "You think you’re safe here? You’re working in a shop that smells like damp paper and broken dreams. You’re hiding behind a name that isn’t yours. But you’re still Ella Monroe. And he is still Lucian.""Lucian is a man who can survive anything," I snapped, moving to the back of the shop to begin the nightly tally. "He survived the Chairman’s belts. He survived the st
Cinderella and Her Three Knights Chapter 87: I lost my Baby and Disappeared!
Ella’s POVThe irony of Tuscany is that it is too beautiful for a tragedy. The air smelled of rosemary and ancient dust, and the sun set in a bruised, golden hue over the rolling vineyards of the Villa Elena. We had been there for only forty-eight hours—forty-eight hours of breathing air that didn't taste like corporate greed."I’ll be back in ten minutes, Ella," Lucian whispered, kissing my temple. He was heading into the small village at the base of the hill to get fresh bread and the lemon cakes I’d been craving. "Don't move from that terrace. I want to see you right there when I drive back up.""I’m not going anywhere, Lucian," I promised, leaning back into the outdoor lounger, my hand resting on the small, barely-there curve of my stomach. "Felix and I are staying right here."He lingered for a moment, his eyes searching mine as if he could anchor me to the earth with his gaze alone. Then, with a final, lingering smile, he disappeared toward the SUV.The silence that followed was
Cinderella and Her Three Knights Chapter 86: The First Flutter
Ella’s POVThe cabin was silent, save for the rhythmic pop and hiss of the cedar logs in the hearth. The message from Maya was a jagged bolt of lightning in our temporary paradise, but for a heartbeat, time seemed to stretch, refusing to break.Lucian didn't panic. He didn't reach for his holster. Instead, he dropped to his knees in front of my chair, his large hands grounding me. His eyes were scanning mine, searching for the crack in my composure."We have an hour, Ella," he whispered, his voice like velvet over gravel. "Maybe two. He’s meticulous, but the mountain roads are treacherous in this mist. We don't run like prey. We move like shadows."I tried to stand, my mind already racing through a checklist of what to grab—the deed, the locket, the tiny leather boots—but a sudden, strange sensation stopped me cold.It wasn't the nausea. It wasn't the sharp cramp of anxiety. It was a delicate, rhythmic pulsing, deep in my abdomen—like the brush of a butterfly’s wing against silk."Luc
Cinderella and Her Three Knights Chapter 85: I am Pregnant!!
Ella’s POVThe neon glare of the Blackwood Global tower was a jagged splinter in my rearview mirror as Lucian’s vintage black SUV roared toward the state line. We weren't just leaving the city; we were escaping a collapsing empire. The deed to the land was tucked into a waterproof case beneath my seat, but the heaviest weight I carried wasn't legal—it was the quiet, fluttering life that had begun to take root inside me."We’re almost there, Ella," Lucian said, his voice a low, gravelly vibration that always seemed to settle the static in my nerves. "Just another twenty minutes. No cameras. No Board members. No Chairman."He reached across the center console, his large, calloused hand finding mine. He didn't just hold it; he squeezed, a silent promise that he was the barrier between me and the storm.The "Sanctum," as Lucian called it, was a modest A-frame cabin tucked deep into a valley where the cell service died a grateful death. It didn't have the cold marble of the estate or the g

Ella’s POVI laid on my bed for a long time after everything went quiet again, staring at the ceiling, my thoughts refusing to settle. No matter how hard I tried to distract myself, my mind kept drifting back to Lucian—his bowed head, the way he had turned away without a word.It didn’t sit right w

Ella’s POVI woke up around four.At first, I didn’t know why my heart was racing. The room was still dark, quiet except for slow, steady breathing beside me. My head throbbed dully, not from pain exactly—more like clarity rushing back too fast.Then it hit me.Lucian.The weight of his arm around
