เข้าสู่ระบบElara Virelli was born into a family that hated her and treated her as nothing more than a servant. She finally escapes after sleeping with a masked man at her sister's engagement party. She now has a new identity and a son she loves more than anything. Lucien Kòrvac is a powerful mafia Don under the guise of a billionaire CEO. Fate reunites him with an interesting woman he knew years ago, and he discovers he has a son he never knew existed. Now he will stop at nothing to claim and protect him. Now they are enemies in a world where love is luxury and loyalty is fake. Both bound by a child. Will hatred turn to desire, or will their past destroy them both?
ดูเพิ่มเติมElara’s POV, I shove Noemi away so hard she stumbles backward. Silence immediately falls around us, and everyone stops chattering. Nikolai, Adrian and Lucien look at us like we’re a min. My hands are shaking as I raise them to point at her. Then at Lucien, then back at her again.My brain feels like it's short-circuiting."Aishhh!" I drag both hands through my hair, holding them and refusing to believe what I’m seeing. Noemi looks guilty, Lucien looks exhausted, and somehow that makes me even angrier.I point at Noemi again. Then at the men behind Lucien, then at her."You!" My finger swings toward Noemi, and my eyes narrow. I can feel smoke coming out of my ears. "You! You!"Lucien closes his eyes briefly, like a man wondering why God hates him. Like a man thinking: Why today? Of all days did this have to happen?Well, fuck him. "He killed Camille!" My voice echoes through the entrance and nobody said a word. Of course, they wouldn’t be surprised he killed a soul. Adrian whistle
Elara’s POV, Three days into the partnership, Lucien and Viktor still look like two men one inconvenience away from homicide.It’s honestly impressive.Lucien pretends Viktor does not exist most of the time, while Viktor deliberately steals food from Lucien’s kitchen just to irritate him. Dante keeps calling them divorced fathers. Adrian nearly got stabbed with a fork for laughing too hard at that.Meanwhile, I stay out of it.Mostly because I’m too busy pretending my life is normal.Which it absolutely is not.Because hidden inside my wardrobe, beneath my old sweaters and ammunition, is a file stolen from Matteo’s study that I still haven’t opened.Every time I think about it, my chest tightens. So naturally, I avoid it completely like a mature adult.Unfortunately, peace lasts exactly three days.I’m halfway through stealing fries off Dante’s plate in the parlour when I hear Nikolai speaking quietly into his phone.“…Yes. Lucien’s already heading there.” A pause. “Noemi’s team arri
Elara’s POV, The car ride is painfully quiet. Rain streaks across the windows while Lucien drives through the city with both hands clenched tightly around the steering wheel. The silence between us feels swollen somehow, too full of things neither of us knows how to say aloud. I sit stiffly in the passenger seat, my tote bag pressed tightly against her stomach where the stolen file rests hidden beneath spare ammunition and painkillers. My leg throbs violently.Nikolai and Adrian had gone ahead separately after Lucien practically abandoned the mission for me. Neither of them complained openly, but I saw the looks they exchanged before leaving the tunnels.Lucien, meanwhile, has not stopped looking angry since carrying me into the car.He drives with one hand gripping the steering wheel too tightly while the other rests near the gearshift. His sleeves remain rolled up from earlier, revealing scratches across his forearms from the tunnels. Every bump in the road sends pain crawling up
Elara’s POV, I know halfway through the tunnels that Viktor is going to murder me when he finds out I had come alone.Honestly?Fair enough.But I was tired of sitting around and waiting for “the right moment.” I needed to move. I’d already wasted three months trying to take care of my leg; I couldn’t waste another second. So the minute Viktor showed me the blueprints of the hidden underground tunnels beneath the Virelli mansion, I wanted to move immediately. But of course, Viktor refused. He told me I needed to rest, and we could carry out the operation the next month. I reluctantly agreed. Rather, pretended to because this evening I stole the papers. My leg throbs with every movement as I crouch low beneath rusted pipes, flashlight clenched between my teeth, studying the old blueprint in my hand.The underground tunnels beneath the Virelli mansion smell like damp stone and mold.Well, maybe I should have brought the cane, and I definitely should have brought Viktor. He would’ve
Elara’s POV,When they leave, Lucy speaks up from beside me. “Such a cute couple. I never thought I’d see the day.”I squawk, actually squawk, in surprise before clearing my throat. I face her amused self and smile.“What do you mean, you never thought you’d see the day?” I ask and lead her towards
Elara’s POV,Lucien walks in to silence.Water drips from Celene’s sleeve onto the marble floor. Seraphina stands frozen, soaked, mascara carving black rivers down her cheeks. I’m still holding myself perfectly upright, and my pulse is steady like I didn’t just redraw the power map of this house.L
Elara’s POV, “It’s late, isn’t it? You have work tomorrow.” I turn to see him staring at me intensely, and I swallow. “Yeah, I do. Wait, what?” I sputter out, “You’re letting me work now?”He shifts his weight on the bed, and it's so frustrating that I can feel it everywhere on my body. “Yes. Un
Elara’s POV, “Elara!” She stumbles before catching herself. “Is that you, Elara?”“Yes, Lucy.” I choke back a sob. “It’s me.”~ ~ A DAY BEFORE“Lucy…”My voice falters as I read further. Lucy comes back to me the way unfinished things always do. Inevitably.I had found her name buried in old staff
