Lucky in Love Chapter 12: My Husband’s Girlfriend
Karen froze — not out of fear, but out of shame. The words refused to come out, trapped in her throat as if the air had been sucked out of the room. “Olivia, what are you doing here?” Sebastian asked, irritation dripping from every syllable.“Sebastian!” she gasped, placing a hand dramatically on her chest as if her heart had stopped. “Your brother told me something absurd. He said that you... got married.”A high, nervous laugh escaped her lips. “Obviously, I didn’t believe him. I told him he was making things up just to upset me, because you know how Peter is — always exaggerating, always creating drama—”Then her eyes landed on Karen. And the sentence died in the air.Olivia looked the young woman up and down, taking in every detail: the wrinkled dress, the messy hair, the bare feet, the simple wedding band on her finger. Her face tightened as if she had bitten into something bitter. Her mouth opened, closed, opened again — but nothing came out.“Olivia,” said Sebastian, his voi
Lucky in Love Chapter 11: The New Reality
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 crystal chandelier. The immaculate white walls she would never see at Saint Mary’s.Mrs. Sterling.Karen closed her eyes again, wishing she could go back to sleep and wake up to a distinct reality. But her stomach growled with hunger. She got up, smoothed her hair, and put on the same dress she had worn the day before.The smell of toast and something cooking guided her to the dining room.Sebastian was sitting at the head of the table, wearing an impeccable suit with the newspaper open in front of him.Karen stopped at the entrance, suddenly shy. “Good morning,” she said, her voice coming out embarrassed, almost a whisper.Sebastian turned the page of the newspaper without looking up. “Good m
Lucky in Love Chapter 10: The Conversation
Karen was in shock.She knew—she knew—that Peter didn’t love her. She heard him say it on the phone; he had found out about the kidney plan; he had run away because of it. But hearing Peter yell in the living room, hearing the casual cruelty in his voice, the way he talked about her as if she were an object that Sebastian had stolen...It was different to know and to hear. It was crueler. She felt small and pathetic.She was standing in the middle of the room now, her arms wrapped around her body as if that could keep the pieces of her together. Sebastian had gone back to the bar, pouring himself another whiskey as if nothing had happened.“I feel so stupid,” Karen whispered.Sebastian took a sip, then looked at her over the rim of his glass. And then he laughed—not a kind laugh, but a dry, mocking sound, full of scorn.“Yes, you were, but women aren’t known for their intelligence.”The harsh words hit her like a slap. She lifted her face, her eyes watering.“You could respect my pain
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. As if he knew Peter would come.His shrewd eyes met Peter’s without surprise, without fear. Just that haughty arrogance he always had.“What an unpleasant surprise,” Sebastian said, taking a slow sip of whiskey.Peter clenched his hands into fists. “Where is she?”Sebastian tilted his head slightly. “You need to be more specific. ‘She’ could be many people. My maid? Some prostitute you hired and lost?”The provocation was deliberate. Peter knew the game—Sebastian always did this, pushing until Peter lost his temper. And then he used the anger against himself.Not this time.“Don’t play dumb,” Peter said, forcing calm into his voice, “because you’re not.”Sebastian raised an eyebrow, genuinely
Lucky in Love Chapter 8: The Discovery
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 a blur.“I can’t find her,” Peter said on the phone, climbing the stairs to his office two steps at a time. “I’ve searched every damn hotel in Vegas! She’s just disappeared.”On the other end of the line, Lindsay coughed—that wet, sickly cough that had become constant in recent weeks.“Peter, please... you have to find her. I don’t have much time. I’m dying.”“I know, my love!” He exploded, startling a server passing by with a tray of drinks. “You think I don’t know? You think I—”“Hurry up.”“I’ll find her, don’t worry.”He stopped when he saw the head of security running down the hallway toward him. Marcus was a former military man—a six-foot-four man whom Peter paid extremely well to ask
Lucky in Love Chapter 7: The Ceremony
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 driver, leaned discreetly against the back wall, his face neutral. And in the center, an older man with glasses and a bored expression—the justice of the peace.Karen felt a tightness in her chest and an urge to scream.Run. Get out. This is wrong. That’s what her heart was telling her, but her feet kept moving, one step after another on the cold marble, until she was standing next to Sebastian. He didn’t even look at her. He just checked his watch as if he were at a business meeting.“Let’s begin,” he said to the judge, his tone sharp, leaving no room for discussion.The judge looked at Karen, waiting for confirmation. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. Her heart was beating so h
