LOGINSilence. A deep silence followed Cynthia's entry. It was as if the air had been sucked out of the room. She confidently walked inside even after everyone's heads turned to her. She didn't hesitate, not even for a second. She was wearing a deep emerald silk dress that clung to her body as if it had been made for her alone. I remember, selecting that dress for her personally. I never knew she would use it like this. Her hair fell in loose waves over her shoulders and the soft fabric of her dress moved with every step she took. She looked more like a host than a guest. Suddenly, whispers erupted almost instantly among the guests. “Isn’t that—” “Cynthia…?” “She’s back?” “With him here?”Every pair of eyes in the room was on her and the cameras moved to her. My father didn't seem to be very pleased by it. He was about to make a very important announcement which was ruined. But Cynthia? She didn't look at the cameras. Her eyes burned with fire as she looked at my father, a fire tha
"Tomorrow is Gala night" Suddenly, the warmth of the moment vanished, replaced by coldness. One second my fingers were tracing the steady rhythm of his heart, the next I felt his entire body turn to stone. The air in the room suddenly felt thin and sharp."So?" His voice cracked the thick silence in the room. His eyes were now wide open, as he stared at the ceiling. My throat turned dry. The way his mood had snapped in a second, it didn't seem like a good idea to continue but I had no other option. "Can you take me there?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. I was expecting an answer from him but instead, he grabbed my shoulders and pushed me off so abruptly that I stumbled back. I quickly gained my balance and adjusted my dress. He sat up too. "NO!" He announced as if the word was the final decision. He didn't even think about it for a second. "Why?" I demanded, my own anger starting to flare. I was losing my patience. I curled my fingers to keep my temper in check. I can
"Hus... Husb..." Before I could even complete myself he pressed the vibrator once again against my sensitive bud. "Ahhh... Lucien!" I bite my lower lip "Don't stop!" "Then admit that he is nothing to you. That your body, your soul, your heart, everything belongs to me only" "No!" I spat. "Yes, you do" And just when I was about to cum, he stopped again. He tossed the vibrator aside. My chest heaved up and down as I watched him remove his pants and boxers. "And no matter how much you lie to this world, to me, and to yourself. I know the truth" "Ahhh" I moaned when he thrust inside me in one push. I was so wet that it slid inside without any resistance. "Say it, Cynthia," he growled. His voice was rough, vibrating against my collarbone. He was moving at a slow pace, driving me towards the edge "Say that he never touched you like this. Say that his name is just a shield you use to hide from the truth."My eyes squeezed shut as I shook my head. My breaths were coming out in broke
He threw me onto the bed and my body bounced against the mattress. My hair fell all over my face, strands stuck to my lips. I pushed them back slowly, to find him standing there, unbuttoning his shirt with a calm that shot up my pulse rate. Slowly, he climbed onto the bed without breaking eye contact. In seconds, he was hovering above me.“You like playing games a lot, right?” he murmured, a dangerous smirk tugging at his lips as his fingers wrapped around my wrists.Before I could react, he pinned them above my head.“Let’s play one then.”My eyes widened, searching his face, trying to read what storm was brewing behind those green depths. But he gave me nothing. I was so focused on his eyes that I didn't realise when he locked my wrists. I looked up to find that he had secured my wrists with the handcuffs. I tried to free my wrist but I couldn't. But they didn't hurt me like his belt. They were covered with soft fur. "I am not interested in any of your game" I spat "free my wrist
Cynthia's POV For the past three days, Lucien hasn't shown up. He leaves early and returns late. I don't know if it is because he is guilty of what he did or if something is brewing in his mind. The distance gave me enough time to heal. Although I couldn't forget what Lucien did to me that night, I can't let that overpower me. If I want to take revenge on my family, I would have to move forward and play the game the way he wants. I have promised Adrian. I sighed and filled the jar with the cookies. After making sure, Aurora had slept, I came to the kitchen to bake her favourite cookies. She has been carving for them for a long time. Suddenly the temperature of the kitchen dropped, and I felt uneasy. A shiver ran down my spine but before I could turn around, a manly and very familiar voice reached my ears. "Where were you?" His voice was low but dangerous. My hands froze above the jar lid. I bite my lip hard to stop my heart from hammering so loud. I took a few deep breaths be
Lucien's POV I woke up before the first rays of the sun. My body felt heavy and stiff. For a moment, I forgot where I was but then, I felt the warmth beside me.Slowly I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was the faces of Cynthia and Aurora. Even in deep sleep, Cynthia looked alert and ready to defend while Aurora slept between us curling into a small ball, sleeping carefree. After staying alone for so many years, this morning felt like a dream to me, but last night was never part of my plan. I was drunk and went out of my own control after losing the deal. Cynthia has no idea what her little foolish step has cost me.A deep sigh passed my lips. I looked at my hand. It was just inches away from her skin. Her wrists were still bruised from the marks of the belt I tied around them. My heart clenched. The sound of Aurora's cries echoed in my head. I would have never stopped if it weren't for her cries. I was the boogeyman in her nightmares.I don't know what or how to feel abou
Lucien.My fingers tightened around the door the moment I saw him standing there.For a split second, my heart betrayed me.The sight of him standing under the dim porch light, dressed in casuals like before with messy hair and calm eyes… it almost felt like the past knocking again.His lips curved
Lucien's POVThey ran away.The fools.They actually believed that changing cities would stop me from reaching my child.I gave them fifteen days. I allowed them two weeks to settle and breathe, cultivating a false sense of safety. But now I am back to give them a surprise.They deserve it. "Thank
Cynthia's POV It's been fifteen days since we shifted here. It was all chaos that day but now it is silence. Adrian didn't want to shift, but I packed my bag, and he followed me, not wanting to leave us alone, especially in this condition. Adrian, quickly arranged the transfer of Aurora's schoo
Aurora stopped rubbing her eyes and lifted her head.The first face she saw was his.“Mr. Stranger?” Her eyes lit up instantly. “You here?”My heart skipped violently.“I came for you,” Lucien smiled.I froze.I was amazed at how quickly his expressions changed. One moment he was cold, ruthless, an
