Her Exodus, His Regret. 102. The One Above Her...
102. The One Above Her...Lucien picked up the call, his expression hardening almost immediately."Mom.""Lucien." Diane's voice came through the phone, hoarse and strangely subdued, nothing like the voice he remembered.His brows drew together slightly, but his tone remained cold. "What is it?"A brief pause followed."What do you say to dinner tonight?"Lucien said nothing. His fingers tightened around the phone, and for a moment, he simply stared through the windshield, his expression unreadable."I haven't seen you in a while, son," Diane continued, her voice carrying a faint note of reproach. "Don't you even miss your... mother?"Lucien's jaw tightened.For a moment, neither of them spoke. The silence stretched between them, heavy with everything they had left unsaid."Okay," he finally replied. "I'm on my way."Before Diane could say anything else, he ended the call.He lowered his head, his grip tightening around the steering wheel until his knuckles paled slightly. The silence
Her Exodus, His Regret. 101. Little Moments
101. Little Moments A black Mercedes Benz pulled up in front of Dahlia's penthouse that evening, and came to a quiet halt at the entrance. "Thanks" Dahlia said, unbuckling her seatbelt. Lucien said nothing and only unbuckled his. Before she could say a word, he opened the door and stepped out, rounding it once and arriving at her side. In one swift movement, her door was opened. Dahlia paused to blink. "Okay Mr Voss" she said cocking her head to the side. "You're being really dramatic". "Is that so?" he said with a playful grin. Dahlia rolled her eyes and stepped out of the car and began walking towards the entrance of her house. "You're always doing that""What?""Acting like I'm some princess who can't open a car door by herself."Lucien slipped his hands into his pockets, his lips curving into a smile. "But you are a princess."Dahlia stopped walking.Slowly, she turned to look at him. "Lucien Voss.""Yes, Your Highness?""Don't start.""Start what?""That thing you're doin
Her Exodus, His Regret. 100. All yours, Princess...
100. All yours, Princess...Morning arrived softly. No alarms. No notifications.Just the quiet kind of light that slipped through the curtains without asking permission, settling across the room in warm, unhurried strips.Dahlia felt it before she fully woke. The warmth. The weight of the arm that was resting loosely on the waist. The steady rhythm of breathing that didn't belong to her. She stayed exactly where she was. Eyes still close. Half asleep, half awake. For a brief, peaceful moment, she just listened. Then...the memories flooded in. The sequence of it all. The call. The dinner. The ruined cake. The movie. And the necklace resting quietly against her skin. His voice, low enough to become part of the silence.'May I finally kiss Your Highness?'A smile tugged unconsciously at the corner of her lips.Then came the kiss.Soft. Gentle. Careful.Until somehow it wasn't. The memory alone was enough to make something flutter quietly inside her chest all over again. She wasn
Her Exodus, His Regret. 99. One final thing...
99. One final thing...By the time Dahlia stepped out of the shower, Lucien was already done with his.Freshly changed, he waited in the upstairs living room, everything already prepared. The lights had been dimmed. The wide television was already on, the crimson Netflix 'N' glowing boldly against the black screen. A bowl of popcorn rested on the center table with two wine glasses and a bottle of wine. "Hey" Dahlia said softly from the doorway. Lucien turned, his eyes catching her in that instant. For one suspended moment, all he could do was look. Dahlia just stood there, wrapped in one of his linen shirts which stopped somewhere above her knee. Dahlia caught his gaze and quickly rushed to explain. "I couldn't find anything else" she managed. Without waiting for a reply—if there even was one— she rounded the two-seater sofa where he was already seated and sat. "So..." she said, reaching for the bowl of popcorn in front of her, "...what are we watching?"She grabbed a handful of
Her Exodus, His Regret. 98. The Best Kind of Perfect.
98. The Best Kind of Perfect. By the time they reached the living room, Dahlia's head had somehow found its way back to the crook of Lucien's neck, seeking quiet refuge there.His scent drifted into her senses once again—dark woods softened by a faint trace of espresso, warm and unmistakably him. It wrapped around her so effortlessly that she had to resist the ridiculous urge to murmur something against his neck... or worse, leave another bite there.Her fingers tightened slightly around him."We're here," Lucien said softly.Dahlia lifted her head from his shoulder.She didn't look around.Not immediately.Her eyes found his first.For a fleeting moment, neither of them spoke. Neither of them seemed to know how.Lucien answered her silent gaze with a small, almost shy smile before carefully lowering her onto her feet. His hands lingered just long enough to make sure she was steady, easing away with the same care he'd carried her with—as though somewhere along the way he'd decided sh
Her Exodus, His Regret. 97. Let's Go Then, Princess
97. Let's Go Then, PrincessDinner passed far more easily than either of them had expected.Conversation drifted effortlessly between them, sometimes settling into comfortable silence, sometimes giving way to laughter that seemed to surprise them both.Lucien, however, had become strangely occupied with one particular task.He kept adding food to Dahlia's plate with the same unwavering concentration he usually reserved for business projects, completely oblivious to the fact that she'd been watching him for the better part of two minutes."I'm about to explode," Dahlia finally said.Lucien paused halfway through serving another spoonful and looked up. "Hmm?"Dahlia pouted before glancing pointedly at his own plate. "You aren't having anything?"Lucien followed her gaze to the barely touched meal in front of him before looking back at her. "It's your birthday.""Exactly." Dahlia sighed dramatically as she set her spoon down. "It's my birthday, not fattening day."A smile tugged at Lucie
