Craving his control Epilogue: Built From Ruins
Romantic, nostalgic, and hopeful. Years later, in the same city — but everything’s changed. Helena and Lucien have grown, healed, and built something lasting. This is their legacy, not just their love. A new generation, perhaps. Business, power, and passion — all at peace. The city skyline blinked against the darkening dusk, taller now than it used to be or maybe it was just me. Changed. Grounded. Alive. I stood on the balcony of the Vale-Xander penthouse, barefoot, a wine glass in hand, the wind tugging at my silk robe. Below, the city pulsed like a memory that had finally healed. Behind me, laughter echoed deep, smooth, familiar. Lucien. Our daughter squealed in delight, tiny feet thudding against the hardwood floors as he chased her around the living room, pretending to be a dragon. I smiled. “Fire-breathing beast or not,” I murmured to the wind, “I chose you.” And I did. Every day, for the last seven years, I chose Lucien Vale. Even on the days he didn’t cho
Craving his control The Place We Broke, The Place We Belong
The sky was blushing with the softest shades of dusk as our car wound up the quiet hill, the one place I never thought we’d return to. The estate had been sold, renovated, and repurposed, but the bones were still there—remnants of the past lingering in the air like perfume trapped in velvet.Lucien hadn’t spoken much during the drive. He didn’t need to. His hand found mine and held it tightly, the pressure between our palms speaking all the things our mouths no longer needed to say.This was the place we had broken—where I had dared him to feel and he had run. Where we’d been two storms too furious to merge. But now? Now we’d survived the wreckage. This wasn’t about domination anymore. This was about truth. About us.I stepped out first, the pebbles crunching beneath my heels as I took in the sight of the newly restored glasshouse. It had once been a ruin of vines and decay. Now it glowed with warm lights, soft music playing from within.I turned to him. "You remembered."Lucien smile
Craving his control All That We Are
The city was quiet in the way it only was before a storm. Glass towers blinked under clouds heavy with unshed rain, and I stood by the window of my father’s old office—now mine—watching it all, heart thudding like a war drum inside my chest.Lucien was here.In the building.In the belly of the empire my parents built—my empire now. I had called him, and to my surprise, he’d come.Not to beg.Not to fight.But because something between us refused to die.I clenched my jaw, arms folded tight. The office door was closed, the glass tinted, but I could feel him in the lobby, just below, like a magnetic pull tugging my bones toward his.So many truths had unraveled in the past days—lies our families told, things Lucien had buried, things I had buried just as deep. The truth about what had happened with the Vale legacy. What my father had done. What Lucien had lost. And yet…He was still the man I had loved since I was sixteen.Still the boy who once wrapped his coat around me in the middle
Craving his control The Tiles that Undid Us
The cold was no longer just outside the windows—it lived inside me.I stood in the Declan estate’s great hall, the chandelier above casting fractured light onto the marble. My heels clicked as I walked toward the massive portrait of my father, the man who once ruled this empire with iron fists but gave his heart to my mother without restraint.And now, it was my turn to choose.Lucien’s confession still echoed in my mind. The night he broke—when his carefully cultivated control slipped and I saw the boy beneath the man. He told me about his mother. The abuse. The money. The scars that didn’t fade with time.But was that enough to forgive everything?"You're quiet today," Geneva said behind me, walking in with a stack of legal documents."Am I ever loud?"She smirked, then sobered quickly. “The board’s voting tomorrow. You’re ready?”I turned. "I was born for this.""Lucien filed a formal letter of withdrawal from all legacy rights to the Vale trust—he’s giving up everything.”I blinke
Craving his control The Last Move
The world had stopped spinning.Or maybe it was just mine.Lucien stood in front of me, the cold twilight casting jagged shadows across his face, as if the truth he had buried for years was finally cutting its way to the surface. His voice was low, tight with restraint. “You weren't supposed to find out like this.”My heartbeat was thudding like war drums.“You lied,” I said, my voice brittle, trembling with all the things I wanted to scream but couldn’t. “For years, Lucien. You lied to me. To my family. To yourself.”He looked away first, jaw clenching. “You think I wanted this? You think I enjoyed living with the truth choking me every single day?”I took a step forward, the marble floor of the Xander estate’s private atrium cold beneath my bare feet. “Then why didn’t you tell me? From the beginning. From the very first time you touched me.”Lucien’s lips parted, but no words came. Silence stretched thick between us.I had found it all—the dossier. The hidden files buried deep in my
Craving his control The Final Reckoning
The rain hadn’t stopped since dawn. It slammed against the tall windows of my penthouse like an unrelenting warning — rhythmic, cold, and furious. I stood at the edge of the marble balcony, the city lights below warping behind the downpour. Somewhere beneath those shadows was Helena.And she was slipping away.I hadn’t meant for it to go this far. But when you spend your life building armor, you forget how to bleed — until it’s too late.Her voice echoed in my head, a thousand times louder than the thunder:"You don't get to decide what I feel for you anymore, Lucien. You've buried the truth for too long."She was right.I had buried it. Drowned it. Starved it.But love has a way of rotting beneath the surface if you don't let it breathe.And now… I was drowning in it.Three Days EarlierHelena had stormed out of the boardroom — after the revelation about the Xander Foundation.Not even my silence could protect her anymore.She knew.She knew that my father’s name was scrawled all ove
