26. A memory of her.

Morning arrived in washed out tones, the sky bruised with grey as sunlight edged cautiously forward. It wasn't bright— not yet. Just present, like a truth that had decided not to hide anymore.

Lucien remained awake long after the night had passed, standing by the window as if waiting for something to make sense. A buzz on the bedside table— low yet grating, reached his ears.

His mother.

Lucien's jaw tightened. He reached for it then paused midway. He stared at the name

  • Her Exodus, His Regret.    106. A Drink Between Brothers

    106. A Drink Between BrothersAt the Mansion of DahliasLucien stared at the screen of his phone, but it had already gone dark a few seconds ago. His brows remained knitted in a frown as he stood there, lost in thought.A pair of arms slowly wrapped around his waist, followed by the gentle weight of Dahlia's head against his back.“You should go,” Dahlia said softly.“I should?”“Of course.” She paused briefly before continuing. “He will probably ask you to be lenient on Vale Enterprises.”Lucien heaved a deep sigh and turned to face her, taking both her hands in his. “What do you think?”Dahlia only smiled and leaned closer, her face inches away from his. “I trust your judgment, Mr. Voss.”“Mr. Voss?”Dahlia chuckled. “I remember that's your name.”Lucien smiled. “You like playing around.”“Of course,” Dahlia said, her voice a little sultry. “If not, I wouldn't have been able to fool Sasha.”“Seriously,” Lucien said. “Even I was almost fooled.”“Kimberly really hates you now,” she sa

  • Her Exodus, His Regret.    105. The Web We Wove...

    105. The Web We Wove...Sasha sat in her seat at the restaurant for a long time after Dahlia left. She could still hear the calm click of her heels against the tiled floor. The straightness of her back. The quiet confidence that rested on her shoulders as though nothing in the world could shake her.Her hands tightened around the edge of the table.Dahlia had always been like this. She was the perfect definition of actions speak louder than words.She never said much, but when she acted, it was precise and final. She didn't need to raise her voice or make a show of her intentions. She simply did what she had to do and left everyone else to deal with the consequences.Sasha's jaw clenched hard.Then she let out a chuckle, the kind that sounded like someone who had reached a dead end and was deciding whether to turn back or ram into the wall.She heaved a deep sigh, picked up her glass of wine, and gulped down what remained of its contents. After setting the glass down, she stood, brush

  • Her Exodus, His Regret.    104. Three Days Of Illusion

    104. Three Days Of IllusionBy evening, Dahlia had left the office before Lucien.He remained in the executive office of DAH Global, reviewing files to ensure nothing was out of place.Or perhaps that was just what it looked like.His jaw tightened as his thoughts returned to everything that had happened that day. He and Dahlia had barely found their way back to each other, and now Sasha had decided to deal them a heavy blow.Well done, Sasha, he thought, his lips twitching into a slight smirk.Once he was done reviewing the files, he arranged them in the same order Dahlia had taught him a few days earlier. He had just risen from his seat when his phone buzzed on the table.Jace.Lucien picked it up immediately.“Jace.”He listened as Jace delivered his report. When the latter was done, Lucien replied with a curt, “Okay. Get the car ready.”Then he hung up.He heaved a deep sigh, his gaze sweeping across the office one last time before he walked out.By the time he arrived downstairs,

  • Her Exodus, His Regret.    Chapter 103. The Villainess 

    Chapter 103. The Villainess The Next Day. Dahlia was dressed for work and had just stepped out of her penthouse when Gaux appeared beside her.“Good morning, Miss Winters.”“Morning to you too, Gaux,” Dahlia replied, her voice as sweet as ever.Gaux offered her a smile, but her fingers tightened around the tablet in her hands. Her heart sank as she glanced at the headline displayed on the screen, and for a moment, she struggled to decide whether she should let Dahlia see it.Unfortunately for her, Dahlia had already noticed the change in her expression.“What's wrong?”Gaux straightened almost immediately and turned off the tablet. “Nothing, Miss Winters.”Dahlia narrowed her eyes.“Margaux.”A sharp gasp escaped Gaux at the sound of her full name. Dahlia rarely called her that unless she wanted her undivided attention, and the tone she had just used made it clear that this was not something she could brush aside.“But, Miss Winters…”“Hand it over.”Gaux hesitated for barely a sec

  • 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
