Lucky in Love Chapter 38: Among Enemies
When the dance ended, the music stopped, Karen and Sebastian remained there for a second longer than they should have.Too close. Too aware of each other.It was Karen who pulled away first, breaking contact. Her fingers slid through his, her hand on his bare back slowly, reluctantly withdrawing.An awkward silence fell between them.Karen looked at the other guests, anywhere but Sebastian. She feigned interest in the floral arrangement. In the orchestra. In the way Dorothy laughed too loudly at some comment from another guest.Anything to avoid acknowledging what had just happened. What she had felt.“Viktor Kozlov,” Marcus’s voice cut through their discomfort. He was approaching, bringing the tall Russian with him. “I want you to meet my son.”The word son sounded strange. As if Marcus were trying out the term, seeing if it still fit after so many years of rejection.Sebastian straightened his shoulders, the mask returning instantly. “Mr. Kozlov,” he said, extending his hand.Viktor
Lucky in Love Chapter 37: The Dangerous Dance
Karen approached slowly, keeping a respectful distance. Despite everything, despite the rivalry, the unhealthy love triangle, the kidney. She saw a sick woman leaning against a sink as if she were about to collapse.“Do you need any help?” Karen asked. “Do you want me to call someone?”Lindsay stood up straight, moving away from the sink with visible effort. Her blue eyes sparkled, but not with tears, but with something harder. Anger and pure hatred.“Here in Las Vegas,” Lindsay began, her voice low but sharp, “it’s full of opportunistic people. They wait for an opportunity to climb, to win, to take what isn’t theirs.” She took a faltering step toward Karen. “I hate those people. But there’s one type of person I hate more.”Karen waited, her heart racing.“It’s the nice ones,” Lindsay continued, each word a stab. “The ones who feign empathy just to watch you suffer up close. The ones who offer help with that fake smile while rooting for you to fall.”“I’m not that kind of person,” Kar
Lucky in Love Chapter 36: Poison in the Eyes
Karen didn’t know what was going on around her.She saw Sebastian tense; she saw the Russian man waving; she saw Marcus’s eyes shining with something that looked like victory. But she didn’t understand why. She looked at everything with curiosity and innocence; she was a spectator in a game whose rules she didn’t know.But her heart almost stopped when she saw Peter arrive with a woman. Lindsay, his girlfriend.Karen knew Lindsay existed. She had heard about her. She knew she was the reason Peter had planned to steal her kidney, but seeing the face of her rival, the woman Peter loved, and still having to smile...It was more painful than she had imagined.Lindsay was beautiful. Even sick, even pale and too thin, there was a delicacy about her that made Karen feel ordinary in comparison. Blonde hair falling in soft waves. Big blue eyes. A light pink dress that hid, but not completely, how fragile she was.And the way Peter held her; with such care, such devotion that it made something
Lucky in Love Chapter 35: An Unpleasant Start.
When they entered the mansion, Karen felt the weight of dozens of eyes turning toward them.The hall was enormous, with hundreds of guests and servers circulating with trays of champagne and canapes. And everyone stopped what they were doing. The guests looked at the couple with barely concealed curiosity. The whispers began immediately. Karen could sense the words even without hearing them clearly.“Is that her?” “The bastard’s wife.” “They say she’s an orphan.” “Poor girl.”Karen squeezed Sebastian’s arm tighter.“Breathe,” he murmured, low enough that only she could hear. “They’re sharks. If they sense fear, they attack.”He guided her further into the hall with a confidence that seemed natural, but Karen knew it was armor. She was beginning to recognize when Sebastian was truly relaxed versus when he was just pretending.“I’m going to get a drink,” Sebastian said after a few minutes of forced smiles and brief greetings. “Do you want anything?”“Water is fine,” Karen replied, not w
Lucky in Love Chapter 34: The Annual Dinner
The days passed too quickly until the long-awaited and dreaded date arrived: the night of the Sterling dinner.Sebastian was in the living room, adjusting his suit for the third time in front of the mirror. Everything had to be perfect. Every detail mattered tonight.Hair precisely combed. Tie adjusted. Gold cufflinks—a gift from his grandfather, the only person in the Sterling family who had ever been genuinely kind to him.His gray eyes stared back at him in the reflection, and for a moment Sebastian saw the twelve-year-old boy leaving the orphanage. Scared. Hopeful. Foolish enough to think he would be accepted.He blinked, and the image vanished.Sebastian checked his watch. Karen was late.She had been locked in her room all afternoon, getting ready. Or perhaps just postponing the inevitable.Sebastian called out, and the butler appeared immediately. “Go see if Mrs. Sterling needs any help.”“Yes, sir.”The butler climbed the stairs with his usual calm, knocking softly on Karen’s
Lucky in Love Chapter 33: Between Revelations and Hopes
Sebastian was in his office when Richard Chen walked in without knocking; he had the privilege of someone who knew all the secrets.He was carrying a thick folder under his arm and had the expression he used when he had important information. Good or bad, Sebastian couldn’t tell yet.“I’ve done a complete survey of Mrs. Salvatore’s assets,” Richard said, placing the briefcase on the mahogany table and opening it. Documents, spreadsheets, numbers that made your head spin. “It’s almost two billion. One million eight hundred, to be exact.”Sebastian stopped with the glass of whiskey halfway to his lips.“She’s richer than I am,” he said, and there was something between admiration and irony in his voice.Richard chuckled. “I think I’ll offer my services to her when she finds out. Maybe she’ll pay better.”“Smart guy,” Sebastian muttered, but there was a small smile there.Richard sat down in the chair across the table, crossing his legs in a relaxed posture.“Properties spread across thre
Lucky in Love Chapter 9: The Confrontation
The room was bathed in soft darkness, with only a few lamps lit. Mozart played softly on the sound system—one of Sebastian’s favorite symphonies. And there, sitting in the leather armchair by the fireplace, was he, Sebastian Sterling.Whiskey glass in hand, relaxed posture, as if he were waiting. A

When Karen entered the room, the air rushed out of her lungs all at once.Sebastian was standing by the fireplace, impeccably dressed in a black suit, his posture relaxed but alert. Next to him, Richard Chen held a briefcase—a reluctant witness to a marriage that should not be happening. James, the

Peter stormed into his casino like a hurricane, pushing the glass doors so hard he almost broke them. It was almost two in the morning, and the place was still packed—drunk tourists losing money, the sound of slot machines creating a symphony of false hope.He didn’t see any of that. All he saw was

Karen woke up with the sun streaming into the room through the curtains she had forgotten to close. For a moment—just one blessed moment—she didn’t remember where she was. She thought she was back at the orphanage, that it had all been a horrible dream.Then she saw the high, ornate ceiling. The cr
