Married by Mistake, Loved by Fate CHAPTER 154
The night was quiet except for the whisper of rain against the windows. Lucy stood by the tall glass doors of the balcony, the city lights shimmering below, her heart steady but full.Behind her, Austin’s footsteps approached. “You still can’t sleep?”She turned, smiling faintly. “It feels unreal. Everything. Us.”He came closer, sliding his arms around her waist. “Then let’s make it real.”She looked up at him, her eyes reflecting the gold of the city. And before she could say a word, he dropped to one knee—again. No audience this time. No photographers. Just them.“Lucy Evans,” he said, voice rough with emotion. “The first time I asked you to marry me, I was a man lost in power. This time, I’m just a man who found peace in you.”Her breath caught as he opened a small velvet box. Inside, a simple silver band gleamed under the dim light. “No contracts. No signatures,” he whispered. “Just love.”Tears rolled down her cheeks as she nodded, unable to speak. He slipped the ring onto her f

The evening sky bled into gold and crimson, the sun dipping low behind the DiMarco estate. The air carried that clean, electric scent that follows rain, soft, heavy, promising something new.Lucy stood at the edge of the hill, the wind teasing her hair as she stared down at the lights flickering below. That mansion had been their battlefield, of lies, love, betrayal, and redemption.And now, it was silent.For once, it didn’t look like a place built for power. It looked like the past was finally letting go.Austin walked up behind her, quiet steps crunching softly on the damp grass. “You always come up here when you need to think,” he said gently, his voice carrying that rough tenderness that only came out when he wasn’t trying to be the heir or the fighter, just a man.Lucy smiled faintly without turning. “It’s peaceful. Feels like the only place the world can’t reach us.”He stopped beside her, his gaze tracing the horizon. “Maybe that’s why I brought you here,” he said softly. “B

The sun had barely risen above the mist that morning, and yet, the entire DiMarco estate was already awake. The gates, tall and golden, gleamed under the pale light as if they, too, were holding their breath.Lucy stepped out of the car slowly, her heels clicking against the marble path. The same path she had once walked as a stranger, as a pawn in a deal she barely understood. But this time, she wasn’t coming as anyone’s contract bride.She was coming as Lucy, daughter, woman, heir… and Austin’s chosen.The mansion loomed ahead, regal and cold, its walls echoing generations of wealth and pride. The DiMarco crest, two lions guarding a crown, was carved into the massive oak doors, reminding her of the bloodline she was about to confront.Behind her, Austin placed a steady hand on her shoulder. “You don’t have to do this alone,” he murmured.Lucy turned slightly, her eyes softening. “Yes, I do. I’ve hidden behind everyone else’s choices for too long. It’s time I stand by mine.”Austin s

The storm didn’t end that night.It lingered, heavy, relentless, washing over the mansion like the sky itself refused to forget what had happened within its walls.By the time dawn crept in, gray and trembling, the fire was out, but the air still smelled like smoke and rain… and secrets.Lucy sat in silence by the window of Austin’s car, her reflection ghosted against the wet glass. The world outside rolled by in streaks of gray and gold, a blur of trees, mist, and half-remembered nightmares.Austin drove quietly. One hand on the wheel. The other occasionally reached for hers.He didn’t speak, and she didn’t ask.There were no words big enough to hold what had just happened.After a long stretch of silence, Lucy finally whispered, “You knew this day would come, didn’t you?”Austin’s hand tightened around hers. “I hoped it wouldn’t.”Her gaze shifted toward him, eyes tired but steady. “He’s your brother, Austin. You can’t just erase him.”Austin exhaled, the sound soft but broken. “I n

“Don’t move.”The voice came from behind her,low, rough, and threaded with something that didn’t belong in the quiet of that corridor. It wasn’t a threat, exactly. It was heavier than that, like a memory she hadn’t invited back.Lucy froze, the photograph trembling between her fingers. Slowly, she turned.A man stood at the far end of the hallway, half-swallowed by shadows, half-lit by the flickering golden lamp. His coat was dark, rain dripping from its edges, his presence foreign yet… hauntingly familiar. He didn’t belong here. But somehow, it felt like he always had.Her voice caught. “Who are you?”He stepped forward, quiet as smoke. “You don’t remember me,” he said softly, and that tone—almost tender—made her blood run cold. “But I remember you.”Lucy’s throat tightened. “What do you want?”His lips curved faintly. “You. Just like before.”Her chest constricted. Before? Before what?He lifted a hand, pushing back his hood. The light caught his face—and for a moment, her world t

“Lucy!”Austin’s voice tore through the storm.He slammed open the mansion door, rainwater splashing against the marble as thunder cracked like a whip overhead. His heart was pounding so hard he could barely breathe. He had felt it, something wrong. A pull in his chest he couldn’t explain. And now, the study door was half open, the smell of smoke crawling through the air like a warning.“Lucy!” he called again, his boots echoing through the hall.When he stepped inside the study, the world seemed to freeze.The shattered window. The broken glass glittering under the stormlight. The overturned chair.And there, on the floor, Lucy, motionless, pale, her hair spread out like spilled ink against the marble.“God, no.”Austin dropped to his knees, lifting her gently. Her pulse, faint, but there. Relief hit him like lightning. He cradled her against his chest, shaking her slightly. “Lucy, wake up… come on, baby, wake up.”Her eyelids fluttered weakly. “A… Austin?”“I’m here,” he said hoarse
