Arabella's fingers were curled into the fabric of his shirt, gripping it with the desperation of someone who had nothing else left.

Just the weight of her body leaning into his as he carried her through the vast, hollow corridors of the mansion.

She was almost weightless in his arms.

“Lucas?” Her voice broke, soft as breath as she stared up at him questioningly.

Her lips were cracked, her eyes wide and glassy like a lost child.

“You need a bath,” he said simply, voice smooth but cold. As if

  • Devil's Bidding   Chapter 142: His toothless

    " I miss him,” Lucas admitted with an aching chuckle. “Toothless. I miss the both of them so much.” "I miss them both so much it feels like I’m breathing glass. I can see her I can watch her walk to work and back. But Amal? He’s always tucked away against her chest, hidden in that carrier like a chick under a protective hen. I can’t even get a glimpse of his chubby cheeks."He let out a heavy sigh. “Maybe I’m being greedy. I already get to see her.”His hand unconsciously stroked the small photo he kept in his pocket — the only image he had of his son, taken right after birth. A tiny, red, wrinkled newborn with a tuft of dark hair.“His only picture is him as a half-baked bean,” Lucas whispered with a sad chuckle. “Soft and red. Right from inside of her.”Alex watched his boss carefully, saying nothing. He had already started forming quiet plans — ways to let Lucas see his son without disrupting the fragile peace Arabella had built.For now, Lucas was content to love them from the s

  • Devil's Bidding   Chapter 141: Secret Guardian

    Arabella Life with Amal was a series of small, quiet miracles. He was such a good baby, almost as if he knew his mommy had been through a war and he didn't want to add to her burden. He slept through most of the night, and as I administered his medication punctually, I could see him getting stronger, his tiny cheeks filling out.​But reality was never far behind. Money was a constant, gnawing shadow.​“Mommy still has to get a job, snuggles,” I whispered one morning, strapping him into his baby bag for the day's walk. “And we’ll get a bigger house soon. I promise."One morning, I woke up to the sound of construction outside. The stairs and the entire building were suddenly being renovated. Workers were everywhere, replacing old railings, fixing cracks in the walls, and painting fresh coats. I was surprised the building had been neglected for years. The landlord had barely done anything before.But they were serious. Everything inside the apartment was preserved with care. Nothing wa

  • Devil's Bidding   Chapter 140: Finally found

    "Where’s Amal?" Lucas asked, his voice sounding thin in the sterile quiet of the ward. He was already looking toward Bassinet Number 4, his eyes searching for the tiny, dark-haired "blob" that had become his only anchor to sanity.The bassinet was empty. The sheets were gone. He frowned. "Oh, he and his mother were discharged this morning," the nurse replied, looking up from her charts with a warm smile.Lucas’s lips parted, but no sound came out. His eyes widened, then narrowed, a sudden, hollow ache opening in his chest."Thanks to your donations, they could finally afford to go home," she explained calmly. "He’ll still need to come back for regular treatments, but he’s strong enough to be in his own bed now."Lucas forced a stiff, jagged smile. "That’s... that’s good news."He stood there for a long moment, staring at the empty space. What was he to do now? The baby had become an important part of his routine. A very important person to him. The head nurse watched him, her heart

    “I’m thinking of liquidating everything. The empire. The company, the shares... all of it,” Lucas muttered.Alex blinked, the sandwich nearly falling from his hand.“Boss!” he cried out, eyes wide with alarm. He reached out and grabbed Lucas’s hand, a wave of genuine panic washing over him.“Is this... is this like a dying wish? Are you okay? Please don't give up on life yet.”Lucas scratched the back of his neck awkwardly, looking away from Alex’s intense gaze.“You said it yourself—there are people who need it more. And you were right,” he muttered. “I think I finally know what I want to do.”“And that is?”“I’m going to squander my money and Don Antonio’s on actually profitable things. The man is old; he’ll be dead soon anyway. What does he need all those billions for?” Lucas let out a small, quiet smile.“I want to leave that world. Maybe travel

    “I once imagined it,” Lucas admitted quietly to the evening sky.The confession was thin, nearly swallowed by the wind.After the storms had passed and the world had settled, he had allowed himself to dream of a quiet life. Of having a family. Of having children with her. He admitted it now to the empty air, the weight of the secret finally leaving his heart.He had pictured a daughter who looked like her. Had her dark hair, bright eyes, and that same stubborn, defiant little smile.The thought brought a small, fragile curve to his lips before reality came crashing back in, cold and unforgiving. He looked away, blinking rapidly at the sheer ridiculousness of it all.“Guess I wasn’t worthy,” he chuckled bitterly.“What do you think about school?” Lucas asked suddenly.Alex paused, his sandwich halfway to his mouth. “For?”“Me,” Lucas replied.Alex nearly choked. He coughed v

    Arabella Lucas was walking sin, a vision so bloody sinful it stole my breath. He moved with a predator’s grace, I just couldn't pull my eyes away from him. The morning light catching the red claw marks and hickeys scattered across his tanned skin—marks *I* had left, branding him as mine. My hear

    ARABELLA “Here. Eat.”Lucas’s deep voice snapped me out of my wandering thoughts. My eyes widened at the sight of the platter before me, a lavish spread of steaming dishes, far more than I could possibly eat A whole platter.I stared at it in disbelief. Was he planning to have me stuffed like a

    Lucas’s hand slid over Arabella’s trembling body, his touch gentle as her ragged breaths softened into quiet, uneven sighs. Her skin still quivered intermittently, the aftershocks of their relentless passion fading as he held her close. He had utterly worn her out, her body limp and spent in his

    "Lucas… I…” Arabella stammered, her voice trembling with the weight of her emotions, caught between desire and the gnawing truth of his hold over her.“Hush, we’re not done yet,” Lucas assured her, his voice a low, commanding murmur that sent shivers down her spine. His cock, still rock hard and p
