**Lucian’s POV**

The highway stretched black and endless under the tires. I didn’t turn the radio on. At this moment, I didn’t need music to fill the silence when Alexander’s voice was already screaming inside my skull.

“You think I wanted any of this?”

His eyes had been steady. Too steady. Like he’d rehearsed the lie until it felt like truth.

But the way he said it confidently, almost gentle, like he was sorry he had to break me made something twist hard behind my ribs. People lie to hurt

  • I Left My Billionaire Groom At The Altar &Married His Enemy    Chapter 64

    **Lucian’s POV**I’d spent the afternoon turning our home into something softer, something that felt like a promise instead of just expensive square footage. Fairy lights draped in lazy loops across the living-room ceiling, warm gold against the charcoal dusk pressing on the windows. Dozens of white roses, long-stemmed, barely open spilled from crystal vases on every surface. Candles flickered in clusters on the coffee table, the dining ledge, the marble island in the kitchen. Soft jazz drifted from hidden speakers...Ella Fitzgerald, low and velvet, the kind of music that makes you want to slow-dance in socks.I stood near the floor-to-ceiling glass, my hands in my pockets, trying not to check my watch every ten seconds. The driver had texted five minutes ago: *Five minutes out.* My pulse hadn’t settled since.When the private elevator doors finally slid apart, Isabella stepped into the foyer.She froze.Her purse slipped an inch down her shoulder. Her eyes wide and her lips were par

    **Isabella’s POV**Sunlight sliced through the half-open blinds in sharp, golden bars across the sheets. I stretched, expecting the familiar dip of Lucian’s body beside me, the steady rhythm of his breathing, the warmth that had wrapped around me all night like a second skin.There was nothing.The pillow beside mine was cool and empty.A small, shy flutter stirred low in my belly—half memory, half nerves. Last night still lived under my skin: his hands gentle but sure, the way he’d whispered my name like a secret he’d been keeping too long, the slow roll of his hips that made every nerve sing. We hadn’t rushed. We’d savored. And now the morning felt too bright, too quiet, too real.I slipped out of bed, my bare feet silent on the hardwood. The silk sheet slid off my shoulders and pooled at my waist. I grabbed one of his discarded button-downs from the floor and shrugged it on. The sleeves swallowed my hands; the hem skimmed the tops of my thighs. It smelled like him and I loved that.

    **Davis’s POV**The Uber smelled like pine air freshener.Streetlights streaked across the tinted windows in long, liquid gold slashes. I stared at the back of the driver’s headrest, replaying the image burned behind my eyelids: Isabella’s bare shoulder against Lucian’s chest, his hand cradling her like she was made of glass.My fingers dug into the leather seat until my knuckles ached.How long had it been going on? How many nights had I lain awake thinking about her smile while he already had it pressed against his skin?I exhaled hard through my nose. The sound was louder than I meant in the quiet car.No.I wasn’t doing this.Not over a woman. Not when the only brother I’d ever really had was the one sitting in that penthouse right now, probably staring at the same ceiling wondering if he’d just lost me for good.“Turn around,” I said suddenly.The driver glanced in the rearview. “Sir?”“Take me back. Same address. Now.”He didn’t argue. He just flicked the blinker and swung the

    **Davis’s POV**The sky outside was still bruised purple, not quite ready to admit morning. 6:07 a.m. by the hallway clock. My duffel sat zipped by the front door, my passport already tucked in the front pocket like it knew we were running.I moved through the house on socked feet, ghost-quiet. One last thing before the airport swallowed me for the next three months.Lucian’s door was cracked an inch, enough for the warm lamplight to spill into the corridor like spilled honey.I pushed it wider, my voice already low.“Brother, I’m leaving now. Flight’s at...”The sentence died on my tongue.Isabella lay curled against him, her bare shoulder rising and falling with slow, trusting breaths. Her blonde hair fanned across his chest like spilled ink. Lucian’s arm curved protectively around her waist, the sheets tangled low on his hips. His shirt—unbuttoned, and his sleeves shoved up....was the only thing he still wore. Open and guilty.He was awake.His eyes met mine over the crown of her h

    **Chloe’s POV**The pen felt heavier than it should. My fingers...the ones that weren't bruised and were strong enough to lift the heavy pen, curled around it like it might bite. The paper trembled under the weight of my signature. Clause after clause stared back at me in crisp black ink: waiver of liability, acknowledgment of elevated risk, voluntary assumption of consequences that could include hemorrhage, sepsis, cardiac arrest, death.I scratched my name at the bottom anyway.The scratch of the nib was the only sound in the sterile room besides the steady beep of the monitor beside my bed. When I finished, I let the pen roll off my knuckles onto the thin blanket. I lifted my head slowly because everything hurt, and I met Dr. Patel’s gaze.He stood at the foot of the bed, with his arms crossed, his face carved from stone. No warmth. No judgment. Just clinical patience.I tried for a smile. It felt more like a grimace. “Done.”He gave one short nod. Nothing else.The door opened wit

    **Lucian’s POV**Our foreheads were still pressed together, her breath was warm and shaky against my lips. I could feel the tremble in her fingers where they rested at the nape of my neck.“I shouldn’t,” I whispered again, but the words had no fight left in them.Isabella’s thumb brushed the corner of my mouth. “Then don’t think. Just feel.”I closed the last inch.The kiss was soft at first....barely a touch, like testing water. Her lips parted under mine, sweet and hesitant, and the quiet sound she made in the back of her throat undid me. I tilted my head, deepening it slowly, tasting the faint vanilla on her tongue. She answered by sliding her hands into my damp hair, pulling me closer.We kissed like we had all the time in the world and none at all. Slowly, exploring each other. I sucked gently on her lower lip and she sighed into my mouth, the sound vibrating through my chest. My hands found her waist, slipping under the hem of that oversized sweater. Her skin was warm, impossibl
