Lucien didn't say anything for a long moment, that was the part that scared me more than anything. Lucien always had something to say, a command, a correction, a low cutting remark for Asher. The silence felt like watching a held breath. When he finally looked up, his jaw was a hard flat line I recognized from the night at Stella’s door. He led me out of Asher’s office and we entered the elevator and he pressed the button to the roof terrace. The elevator ride up was awkward and quiet, the doo

  • Heir Of Deception    My name is Aria Valen and I’m being Blackmailed

    “No!” I yelled. “I..I’m not decent. I’ll come meet you at the terrace in twenty minutes.” The lie flowed out of my mouth like I've been practicing for years.Micah was quiet for a moment, then he said, “Very well then. I’ll be waiting.”I heard his footsteps retreating and slumped against the wall, my breathing heavy. I peeked a look at Lucien and found him staring back at me with so much intensity.“Get out.” My tone was harsh, harsher than I intended.Lucien looked at me with his brow raised, not even a shred of remorse in sight. And then, he sighed,“This is going to happen again, Aria.”“No, it won’t. I won't allow it.” I shook my head vehemently.“You just witnessed it, we let this fester till it consumed us. We are both in trouble now.”“Don’t you feel bad for Micah at all? He is your son!”“And that’s the reason I've been holding back this long. Because he is my fucking son! All you had to do was to appear before me wearing these flimsy pajamas and all the control I th

  • Heir Of Deception    What Have I done?

    ****Rated 18+ I stared at Helena’s name on Asher’s screen until the letters stopped making sense as a word and just became a shape, something I couldn’t look away from and couldn’t process either. Five years of chocolate bars and late-night calls. All of it sitting on top of a woman who’d spent months posting malicious things about me and also sending me photographs designed to break me. “Aria.” Lucien’s voice cut through the static in my head. His hand found my shoulder, steady, grounding. “Breathe.” “I gave a toast at her birthday last spring,” I said, my voice strange to my own ears. “I told a room full of people she was the sister I never had.” “People show you exactly what they want you to see,” Asher said, quieter than his usual self, which told me even he didn’t know what else to say. “Doesn’t make you a fool for believing it.” Stella crossed the room and wrapped both arms around me before I even realized I needed it. I’d been so lost in it, I hadn’t noticed her come

  • Heir Of Deception    The Girl Who Never Forgave Me

    Five years ago….I stood in front of the looming glass building, my stomach a chaotic knot of nerves. “You’ve prepared for this. You can do this. You chose this,” I chanted in my head as I stared at my reflection. I reapplied my gloss as I walked into the building, my head high. I walked to the reception and was met with a gorgeous blonde lady. Her hair, although in a bun, was styled to perfection. She looked up and smiled sweetly at me.“Good morning. How can I help you?”“I’m here for the modeling casting. Here is my invitation letter.” I said, while handing her a paper.“Okay.” She said, typing away on her system. “You have submitted your portfolio via mail, right?”“Yes, I have.”“Alright. I just confirmed your appointment. The casting is on the third floor, the first room on your right.” She told me, her smile still present.I thanked her and took the elevator to the third floor. Another blonde lady, her hair styled in a similar bun, ushered me to a waiting room where other la

    Lucien didn't say anything for a long moment, that was the part that scared me more than anything. Lucien always had something to say, a command, a correction, a low cutting remark for Asher. The silence felt like watching a held breath. When he finally looked up, his jaw was a hard flat line I recognized from the night at Stella’s door. He led me out of Asher’s office and we entered the elevator and he pressed the button to the roof terrace. The elevator ride up was awkward and quiet, the doors opened and Lucien walked me out. “Explain.” That was not a question, it was an order.“I may be wrong,” I said quickly. “It’s a feeling. But it fits, Lucien. He knows and loathes me enough to pull a stunt like this.” “Hmm.” Lucien looked to be deep in thought. “I want his address. Right now.” “I can take you there.” I told him.“No, Aria. You’re staying. God help me, Aria. You don’t want to test me right now.”I really do not like his tone. I narrowed my eyes at him, “No. You do not

    CHAPTER THIRTEENPanic filled my very being, my heart beat frantically against my ribcage. Lucien peered over my shoulder to see the message that just came in. He sighed and took the phone from me again, this time, he turned it off and placed it in his pocket.I turned to look at him, about to protest. Now that the blackmailer has mine and Lucien’s picture, I really do not want to provoke them. Lucien shook his head and took my hand, “I’m here, Aria. We’re in this together. I won’t let you down.” Asher looked between Lucien and me and whistled, “Damn, old man. I didn’t know you had so much game. If only you weren’t so grumpy.”“Shut the fuck up and do what you’re being paid for, Mutt.” Lucien bit back. I expected another smart retort from Asher, but his eyes were fixed on the phone in his hand.“Aria,” He said carefully, “Let me have your phone.”“What now?” I asked, worried. He never called me by my name unless he was being serious. “I think I know how the blackmailer has been k

  • Heir Of Deception    I Warned You

    Lucien looked at me, surprise clouding his features.“Your assistant?” “I need to know the reason, Lucien. I need to know why she’d do this to me.”Not waiting for his response, I took flight into the building, Lucien yelling my name and hot on my tail. I didn't stop though, I ran up the stairs and finally arrived at her door, tears blurring my vision. I stood in front of the door, unmoving, too scared to see what’s beyond the door. Door 345. The elevator pinged and Lucien walked out, his face stern. He opened his mouth to say something but stopped himself after looking at me. He walked to me, took my hand, and gave it a light squeeze. He started going for the doorbell when I stopped him. “Wait…”Lucien turned to look at me.“I’m scared, Lucien.”“You have nothing to be scared of, Aria. I’m right here with you.”“What if she’s really my blackmailer? Lucien, I…” “Shh” He cut me off, “If she’s the one, then she’s undeserving of your trust.”I nodded, signaling him to go a
