LUCIEN’S POINT OF VIEW.

My bones felt lagged as I sat in the cop car beside Valeria, Ace, and some of the officers. Bystanders would think we were on some movie shoot with the number of police officers we gathered, or that we were on the way to capture some terrorist. The fleet of heavy-duty cars raced off the road without inhibitions, and all I could do was rest my head against the seat, my eyes closed as I tried not to think of the worst possible scenario.

I had seen first-hand what Eldric does to people he hates, or wants to inflict pain on….and the fact that Sloane is right in his grasp……I am fucking panicking.

“Everything will be fine, Lucien,” Ace whispered, grabbing my shoulder in a firm grip as if to show support. And for the first time since all this happened, I stared at Sloane’s stepbrother. Just like the rest of us, he looked like he had aged a couple of years in the few hours all this happened. I caught sight of the slight stubble grazing his jaw, and my eyes softened.

  • SERVING MR CEO AT MIDNIGHT FOR FOURTEEN DAYS. 21+   A PAINFUL MEMORY.

    AURORA’S POINT OF VIEW.The second our eyes met, I felt the room turn to ice. My blood pulsed, as did the pace of my heartbeat. For a moment, his dark eyes appeared shocked, and all of a sudden, they were filled with heat, passion, and anger….a combination that set my heart on fire years ago, and even now. It caused me to falter slightly in the next move, something that had never happened before. ]I collected myself before anyone would see it, and focused instead on ensuring served a show. My hips rubbed while my ass bounded rhythmically to the beat of the music, my vision slightly blurred over not just from the dollar bills being sprayed all over the stage, but also the memories he conjured in my mind just by a mere eye contact.The life I’d abandoned, not by choice, but because my stepmother decided to pounce the second my father had a heart attack. It’d been the perfect afternoon. Kai and I had agreed to start dating. I’d liked him from the moment I walked through the doors of R

    KAI’S POINT OF VIEW. TEN YEARS LATER….KAI IS NOW THIRTY YEARS OLD, SO THIS IS FAR INTO THE FUTURE….. Stepping into the club, the music blasting from the speakers could send my heart into overdrive…But I need this. The thrill, the sight of midnight ballerinas swinging off the poles while I, the owner of the club, walk around with enough anonymity, because no one knows who I am. Being a billionaire, I’ve been made to hide my life…to hide the person I really am because of my father’s no longer low enough profile. The sick fucker’s running for president of the United States, and because of that, I have had to pretend I'm normal, that the thought of someone as sick as Earl Sawyer running for any political office didn’t leave my blood rushing, and bile coming up my throat. I was scared for the people, because my father is nothing but a fucking thief…a degenerate who cannot keep anything off his sight. Women, money, drugs….name it. If he saw it and felt he wanted it, he didn’t care who ob

    SLOANE’S POINT OF VIEW.I’m nervous.And I shouldn’t be.I mean, all I have to do is potentially break my dad’s heart by telling him I would not be going down the path of architecture he wants for me, and that the college applications he thinks I made to Oxford or Cambridge actually went to Broadway instead.Ah, I’m going to scream.We’re at dinner, but it feels like my soul is the meal. The cutlery clinks against the plate as I mess around with the steak and peas on my plate. Serphina’s foot nudges softly at me, forcing me to direct my gaze away from the food and to her instead. “What’s up with you?” she mouths, her eyes shining with curiosity and worry, but I simply shake my head to appease her. Guilt twists in my spine as I watch her focus on her food.Sera was one of the most, after Amara, selfless people in the world. And even though she hides it well, or rather tries to hide it, hanging out with Lucien makes even the most absent-minded person meticulous.I have seen the look s

    SLOANE’S POINT OF VIEW.A YEAR LATER.“Whew…I guess that’s it for college applications.” I groaned, my bones screaming for exhaustion as I plopped onto the chair beside Lucien. Seraphina snickered as Theo fed her from the bowl of diced apples after dipping them in ice cream. “I don’t even know why you bother with applications,” Lucien remarked, lifting me from the seat beside him and onto his thigh. “You know one phone call from your father would get you the top spot in whatever school you want, right?”“Yeah….I know.” I giggled at the feel of his stubble poking at my jaw as he kissed a trail up my neck. “But still, I want to do this right. My grades should be more than enough to get me qualified, so I want to do this as everyone else does. If I weren’t the daughter of the Valerian, I would want to know if I would get the spot.”“You’re better than me.” Amara laughed, sipping on the mango ice cream smoothie she managed to concoct after multiple horrible attempts in the kitchen. It wa

    LUCIEN’S POINT OF VIEW.I kissed my wife’s hands three times before stepping away from her for a moment so her family could see her while I headed to see my mother.Hmm….my wife…..That sounds so fucking good.Will most people call me crazy for knowing who my wife is at age nineteen… a few weeks before I graduate from high school?Yeah.But if I cared about what people think, I wouldn’t be Lucien fucking Ravenscroft.“Bye.” She whispered, her beautiful eyes twinkling with stars as she watched me walk out with my back to the door. I was scared of taking my eyes from her for a second. I still believed Eldric would somehow find his way here and try to take her from me. Even though the bastard’s shackled, and chained to a hospital bed in one of the hospitals provided by the government, and awaiting his sentencing……I still didn’t believe he would simply quit.It was why Valerian, I, and my grandparents combined our efforts into hiring more bodyguards than any world leader…because I’d take

  • SERVING MR CEO AT MIDNIGHT FOR FOURTEEN DAYS. 21+   A CRAZY PROPOSAL.

    SLOANE’S POINT OF VIEW.Have you ever been hit by a truck?No?Well, I haven’t, but if I were, it would feel exactly as right now. My muscles screamed in pain, my belly rumbled in hunger; I fought to open my eyes… basically, it felt like I was in hell.“Sloane….” I heard someone calling from far away as I stirred, the dark haze clearing bit by bit as I opened my eyes inch by inch. “Can you hear me?” The person called again, but I got a whiff of his garlic breath….and I wanted to puke.“Move,” I said, but it came out muffled from how uncomfortable I was, and because I felt him literally hover. “What was that?” he asked, dropping his face even closer to mine, and I almost screamed….I would have screamed if I had an ounce of energy in me.“She wants you to back the hell up.” I heard someone else say….But I still hadn’t opened my eyes, because my lids felt like they weighed a ton. “Oh.” The person squeaked, and finally, I felt him move away; and fresh, ungarlicy air wafted in my nostri
