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

“I’m taking you somewhere.”Sebastian’s voice came from the dining-room door the next morning, pulling Karen out of her dark thoughts.She had spent the night awake, staring at the ceiling, thinking about Peter, about annulment, about running away to Chicago, New York, or returning to the orphanage. Anywhere but this gilded cage.“Where are we going?” Karen asked, not really caring. She didn’t have the energy to argue.“It’s a surprise,” Sebastian replied, and there was something different in his voice. Something Karen couldn’t quite put her finger on.The butler appeared, impeccable as always. “What would you like for breakfast, Mr. Sterling?”“I’m not hungry, maybe later,” he said, and waited while she grabbed her purse and followed them to the car.After a few minutes of silent driving, the car stopped in front of a store with immaculate glass windows and gold lettering.CartierKaren looked at the building, then at Sebastian, confusion clear on her face.“What are we doing here?”
Lucky in Love Chapter 31: Fragile Agreements
Sebastian’s gray eyes widened and froze in time.For a moment, Karen saw something in them she had never seen before. Panic and raw vulnerability. As if she had touched something he kept buried so deep he didn’t even know it still existed.“That’s not what I meant,” he said, and there was an urgency in his voice now. Something close to desperation.Karen’s pride was hurt, but she replied anyway. “That’s exactly what you said.”“I meant that I know Peter,” Sebastian tried again, taking a step forward, his hands still raised as if he wanted to touch her but didn’t know if he should. “And he’s not capable of loving anyone.”Karen looked at him with a pain that came from her soul. A pain so deep that words could not reach, only eyes could convey.“But he loves Lindsay.”The truth was simple and devastating. Peter loved someone, and that person wasn’t Karen.Sebastian clenched his jaw. “I meant that I know Peter, and he’s not capable of loving anyone but Lindsay.”But the words sounded emp
Lucky in Love Chapter 30: The Encounter
Karen felt her heart beating fast as she crossed the garden. Since that fateful night when she had heard those words on the staircase, when her world had fallen apart—she hadn’t seen him again.And now there he was, leaning against his red Porsche as if nothing had happened. As if he hadn’t planned to steal a piece of her. As if three messages and a tearful phone call could erase everything.He looked different. Thinner. Deep circles under his eyes. The suit was still pricey, but it was rumpled in a way that Peter Karen knew would be unacceptable.“I knew you’d come,” he said, and there was genuine relief in his voice.Karen stopped a few feet away, keeping a safe distance between them. Her heart was pounding so loudly that she was sure he could hear it.Before she could take another step, before she could say anything, any of the thousand words she had rehearsed on the way, a strong, possessive hand grabbed her arm.Karen stopped “Where do you think you’re going?”The voice was Seba
