*Aria’s POV*

The penthouse felt like a waiting room for a funeral.

Two days had passed since the attack on the mountain. Two days of doctors shuffling in and out of the guest room where Damian lay healing, his torso wrapped in bandages, his face pale but his breathing steady. The doctors said he was strong. They said he would recover.

But the silence in the living room was weak.

  • His Runaway Queen   Chapter 147: The Sins Of The Father

    *Aria’s POV*The penthouse felt like a waiting room for a funeral.Two days had passed since the attack on the mountain. Two days of doctors shuffling in and out of the guest room where Damian lay healing, his torso wrapped in bandages, his face pale but his breathing steady. The doctors said he was strong. They said he would recover.But the silence in the living room was weak.Lucian stood by the window, staring out at the city lights. He hadn't slept. He was wearing the same clothes he had worn in Geneva – a dark suit, now wrinkled, the tie long gone. His phone sat on the coffee table in front of him, a black monolith on the glass surface.He was staring at it like it was a bomb."You have to call him," I said softly from the sofa. I was holding a cup of tea I hadn't sipped from. "You have to ask."Lucian didn't turn. "If he says yes... if he admits it... I don't know what I'll do.""If he is Il Pecatore," I said, my voice steady, "he already knows you know. He’s waiting. Silence i

  • His Runaway Queen   Chapter 146: The Long Night

    *Aria’s POV*The pipe was a tomb of ice.I huddled in the darkness, Adrian pressed against my chest, his small body shaking with violent tremors. The sound of gunfire had stopped, replaced by the howling wind that whistled through the drainage tunnel like a dying animal."Mommy, I'm cold," Adrian whispered, his teeth chattering."I know, baby. I know." I wrapped my coat tighter around him, though the cold was seeping into my bones, making my limbs heavy and clumsy.I looked back toward the entrance of the pipe. It was a grey rectangle in the distance, filling with swirling snow. I couldn't see Damian anymore. I couldn't hear him.Had they taken him? Was he dead?The fear was a physical weight, pressing me down. But I couldn't stop. If I stopped, we froze."We have to keep moving," I whispered. "We have to find a place to hide until Daddy comes.""Is Daddy coming?""He's coming," I promised, though I didn't know if it was a lie. "He's flying fast."We crawled deeper into the pipe. The

  • His Runaway Queen   Chapter 145: The Frozen Foundation

    *Aria's POV*The Catskills were beautiful in the winter, a stark, blinding white that seemed to erase the horrors of the city. The skeleton of the new house rose from the snow like a black ribcage against the sky.We had moved into the site three days ago.It wasn't a house yet – it was barely a shell. But Damian had prioritized the master suite and the security hub. The walls were up, the heated floors were working, and the "treehouse" playroom was sealed. It was a fortress in the making, rough and cold, but it was ours.I stood in the unfinished kitchen, watching the snow fall through the frame of the window that hadn't been installed yet. The wind howled through the gaps in the plywood, making the plastic sheeting flutter like ghost wings.Adrian was in the next room, playing with a set of magnetic tiles on the heated concrete floor. Damian was with him, sitting on a crate, his laptop balanced on his knee. He looked tired – he had been up all night monitoring the security feeds fro

  • His Runaway Queen   Chapter 143: The Geneva Protocol

    *Aria’s POVThe penthouse felt like a vacuum.Lucian stood by the window, the city lights reflecting in his dark eyes. The silence in the room was heavy, suffocating. The discovery of the Geneva IP address had shifted the ground beneath us. It wasn't just an external enemy anymore; it was a whisper of betrayal from the very heart of the empire."The subsidiary is Aethelgard Logistics," Lucian said, his voice void of emotion. "A shell company my father set up in the eighties to move money during the Cold War. It’s been dormant for a decade. The accounts were frozen, the staff let go."He turned to face me. "But according to Damian’s trace, the server was reactivated three months ago. From Geneva.""Your father," I whispered. "Or your mother.""Or someone using their credentials," Lucian said, though the doubt was evident in his eyes. "Victor has been in Zurich for months. He says he's managing the European expansion. But if he’s using Aethelgard..."He didn't finish the sentence. He di

  • His Runaway Queen   Chapter 142: The Zero Day

    *Lucian's POV*The penthouse had transformed into a war room. The sleek coffee tables were pushed aside, replaced by banks of monitors and server racks that hummed with a low, urgent vibration.Damian sat in the center of the room, his fingers flying across three keyboards simultaneously. His tea sat cold and forgotten. He was hunting."He was sloppy," Damian muttered, his eyes scanning lines of scrolling code on the central screen. "Arrogant. He thought copying the fractal would rattle you. He didn't realize he left a fingerprint."I stood behind him, watching the screen. He had cleaned up, but the tension in his shoulders was rigid. "What kind of fingerprint?""A compiler tag," Damian said. "Every piece of software carries the signature of the machine that built it. Most people scrub it. Our guy didn't. Or rather, he couldn't. He used a beta-version compiler from a closed-circle developer group. 'The Zero Day'.""Can you trace it?""I already have." Damian hit a final key with a flo

  • His Runaway Queen   Chapter 141: The Fractal

    *Lucian’s POV*The drive back to the penthouse took fifteen minutes, but it felt like a descent into the deepest circle of hell.My gripped the steering wheel so hard the leather creaked. My mind was a storm of conflicting data points. The kindness Damian had shown. The forklift. The rescue. The house designs.And now, the symbol.A unique fractal algorithm. Damian’s thesis.It was too specific to be a coincidence. And in my world, coincidences were usually traps.I pulled the SUV into the underground garage, the tires screeching on the polished concrete. I didn't wait for the elevator. I took the service stairs, taking them two at a time, my gun drawn and held low against my leg.I burst onto the main floor. The penthouse was quiet. The lights were dimmed."Damian!"My voice cracked through the silence like a whip.He heard movement in the library. He raised his weapon, stepping into the doorway.Damian was standing by the bookshelves, a cup of tea in his hand. He was wearing his rea

    *Aria’s POV*I opened my eyes to silence. Not the peaceful kind of silence, but the one that pressed against my ears. That’s when I realized that something was wrong.I was laying naked, in Lucian’s bed.A lot of things were wrong.I didn’t remember when I fell asleep, the only thing I remembered w

    *Lucian’s POV*I don’t go to her room after I leave.That restraint costs me more than the violence ever did.I walk instead – through the corridors I built, ruled, bled for – until the air feels thin enough to breathe again. The mansion is silent, obedient, perfectly ordered. It always is.That ni
