His Runaway Queen Chapter 158: The Invisible War
*Aria’s POV*The pregnancy changed the air in the mountain house.It wasn’t just joy, it was a sudden, suffocating weight of responsibility. Lucian didn't just want to survive anymore; he wanted to sterilize the world."The medical team is setting up in the west wing," Lucian said, pacing the length of our bedroom. He was dressed in tactical gear, even though we were snowed in. "They’re bringing an ultrasound machine. And a nutritionist.""Lucian, I'm pregnant, not invalid," I said, sitting up in bed. The nausea had subsided for the moment, leaving a hollow exhaustion in its wake. "And I'm only six weeks along. There isn't much to see yet.""There is a heartbeat," Lucian said, his voice dropping. "That's all I need to hear."He stopped pacing and looked at me."I’m doubling the guard. No one enters the perimeter without my personal authorization. The construction crew has been vetted three times. I’m running background checks on the pilot who flew the medical team in.""You're going t
His Runaway Queen Chapter 157: The Silent Symptoms
*Aria’s POV*The nausea hit me like a tide — sudden, overwhelming, and crushing.I barely made it to the bathroom in the master suite. The cold tiles bit into my knees as I retched into the toilet. My shoulder, still healing from the bullet wound, throbbed in protest at the violent heaving of my muscles.It had been like this for three days.I gasped for air, wiping my mouth with a trembling hand."Aria?"Lucian was at the door instantly. I heard his footsteps, heavy and urgent. He knelt beside me, his hand cool against the back of my neck."Not again," he whispered."I'm fine," I rasped, though I wasn't. The room was spinning. My stomach felt like it was twisting into knots. "It’s just... something I ate.""You haven't eaten," Lucian said sharply. "You haven't kept anything down since Tuesday."He helped me to my feet, his grip tight as if he was afraid I would crumble. He guided me to the sink. I rinsed my mouth, looking at my reflection in the mirror.I looked terrible. Pale, dark
His Runaway Queen Chapter 156: The Dead End
*Aria’s POV*The hunt for Carlo began before the sun breached the horizon.Lucian didn't sleep. He sat in the command center of the mountain house, surrounded by the hum of servers and the glow of monitors, coordinating a manhunt from the isolation of the peak."Pull his financials," Lucian ordered into the secure line. "Trace his cell phone pings from the last forty-eight hours. I want to know where he slept, what he ate, and who he spoke to.""We're on it, Boss," Rylan’s voice crackled back. "We're checking his apartment in the city now."My knuckles were white as I gripped the edge of the console. The voice — Carlo's voice — echoed in his head. You have no idea what I'm capable of.It made sense. Carlo had been his shadow for five years. He knew the schedules, the routes, the security codes. He had access to the penthouse. He knew about the mountain. He fit the profile perfectly."Lucian," I said softly, placing a hand on his back. "You need to eat something.""I can't.""Adrian is
His Runaway Queen Chapter 155: The Voice In The Static
*Aria’s POV*The blizzard outside was a wall of white, erasing the world. It isolated us, cutting the mountain off from the valley below. The wind screamed against the steel frame of the house, a constant, mournful howl that set my nerves on edge.Inside, the command center was the only room that felt finished. Banks of monitors glowed in the dim light, displaying the perimeter cameras — useless white static — and the internal feeds.Lucian sat in the center of the room, a glass of whiskey untouched on the console. He was staring at a single screen that displayed the live feed from the main gate."Do you think they'll come?" I asked, standing behind him."Not tonight," Lucian said. "The roads are buried. Even Zero Day can't drive through six feet of snow.""Then why are you watching?""Because I can't sleep."I walked over and placed my hand on his shoulder. He leaned into the touch, his muscles tight as coiled springs.Suddenly, the monitors flickered.It wasn't a glitch. It was a ta
His Runaway Queen Chapter 154: The Exodus
*Aria’s POV*The cleanup didn't take long. In our world, messes were disposed of with alarming efficiency.By dawn, the bodies of the Zero Day operatives were gone. The blood on the marble floor had been scrubbed until the surface gleamed, giving no indication that ten men had died there only hours ago. But the smell lingered — copper and cordite, soaked into the pores of the stone.Lucian stood in the center of the living room, issuing orders into a sat-phone. He hadn't slept. His shirt was crisp, his mask of control firmly in place, but his eyes were hollow."Burn the secondary properties," Lucian ordered. "Liquidate the offshore accounts flagged by Damian’s trace. I want us off the grid by noon.""You're collapsing the network?" Rylan asked, stunned."I'm pruning the dead branches," Lucian corrected. "If Zero Day wants to hack us, I’m giving them a closed system. No internet. No digital footprint."He turned to me."Pack warm. We leave in an hour.""The mountain?" I asked, clutchin
His Runaway Queen Chapter 153: Zero Day
*Aria’s POV*The basement of the penthouse was a place where screams went to die. It was soundproofed, cold, and smelled of bleach and old copper.Lucian walked down the concrete stairs, his footsteps heavy in the silence. He had changed his shirt, but the blood on his hands felt permanent.I followed close behind, my injured arm throbbing with every step. I had insisted on coming. I needed to see the face of the man who had tried to bury us.Rylan was already down there. He stood by a heavy steel table where Silas was strapped down. The old man was awake now, the sedatives worn off. He looked terrible—battered, bruised, and pale, but his eyes were bright with a manic, hateful light."Ah," Silas rasped, his voice echoing in the small room. "The King and his Queen. Come to gloat?"Lucian didn't speak. He walked to the table and placed a heavy .45 caliber pistol on the metal surface, the metal clanging loudly."I'm not here to gloat," Lucian said. "I'm here for the name."Silas laughed,

*Aria’s POV*The Past.He stayed longer than he should have. After our confrontation this morning, I thought he would have left and that I would never see him again. But when I came back in the evening, he was still there.He was supposed to disappear in the morning – vanish into whatever violent w

*Aria’s POV*Back to the present.I heard the door unlock before I heard the footsteps. Three heavy clicks.“Miss Hale, the boss requested your presence for dinner.” A maid said, not looking at me.My hands curled around Adrian’s small hand. Lucian changed a lot. And I have to admit that I am afrai

*Aria's POV*"Follow me." Lucian said coldly. "Now."I was still shaken from everything that happened, but I didn't have a choice but to follow him. We entered into his study. It was as plain as him. No color. Everything was black and brown. His desk had only files on it. The old photo frames were

*Aria's POV* Adrian whimpered, looking at the man with tears in his eyes. I reacted without thinking — twisting, kicking, screaming— but the man was stronger. He dragged us down the alley, one hand over my mouth, the other crushing my wrist. Snow swallowed the sound. The bakery was dark. The
