Pleasured By My Elder Brother Chapter 322: She asked me for three days
"Yes, sir.""And Marcus.""Sir?""If Lyra asks you where I am today, you tell her the truth."Marcus's expression didn't change, but something in his eyes warmed. "I always do, sir.""I know. I'm saying it for my own benefit."***Victor was at the breakfast table when Damien came down, in the dark overcoat he wore for walks, with a cup of tea and a folded letter beside his plate."Son.""Dad.""You're up early.""I didn't sleep.""Nor did I." Victor's eyes were tired but sharp. "I've been thinking about your sister."Damien went still. He sat down across from his father, without hurrying, and reached for the toast."Which one?""You know which one.""I do." Damien buttered the toast with great care. "What about her?"Victor looked at the letter and then at the door. The housekeeper was somewhere at the back of the house, singing. Isabella was upstairs. Lyra and Karla had left for the studio at seven, in separate cars."I asked Aldrich to look into a few things," Victor said, low. "Qu

She looked at it for a long time.It was the same question he always asked. It was the same question Damien had asked her in the front hall, not three hours before, in almost exactly the same words.She typed slowly, with her thumbs very steady.Lyra: Not since noon. Why do you ask?The three dots appeared.DarkVeil: Because I worry.She read it twice.Then she put the phone face down on the nightstand, and lay back, and stared at the ceiling.Because I worry.Down the hall, in the west wing, a door closed. She heard it, faint and far. She didn't know why she was listening for it.She didn't know why, when she finally turned out the light, she lay there for a long time with her eyes open, counting the seconds between one sound and the next, like someone waiting to find out whether the world was about to change.***Damien had not slept.He lay on top of the covers in the west wing, in the room he'd had since he was twelve, and watched the ceiling go from black to gray. The house was q
Pleasured By My Elder Brother Chapter 320: Did You Call The Studio This Morning
It was a small test. Lyra said it lightly, with her eyes on the cup, and she watched Karla's face out of the edge of her vision.Karla didn't flinch. Her smile did not move. But there was a very short pause, a half breath, in which Lyra could see her deciding."I did," Karla said. She lowered her voice and looked, for all the world, like someone confiding a hard truth. "I'm sorry, Lyra. I didn't know how else to explain it. She asked why the paperwork was taking so long, and I said it was complicated. There's been so much, with Mama. The hospital. The photo." She hesitated. "I didn't say anything cruel. Only that there had been family trouble, and we were all trying to heal.""I see.""Did I do something wrong?""No." Lyra smiled. "You couldn't have known she'd read it that way.""I hope not." Karla's eyes were wide and earnest. "I only wanted to protect you. People can be so unkind about private things.""I know.""If I'd known you were reachable, I'd have called you right away."You
Pleasured By My Elder Brother Chapter 319: WHO CALLED HARTWELL?
"Of course.""In forty years of purchasing, I have been lied to by experts. Suppliers who swore the dye lot would match. Designers who said the sample was the production piece. I know what it sounds like when somebody is telling me less than the whole truth." She paused. "Your colleague was very polite. She said the studio was going through an ownership transition and that there was some dispute about it. She said the new owner was young and might not be staying."Lyra felt the pen go cold in her hand."She said that?""She said it kindly. She said she wanted me to be prepared." Dana's voice flattened. "I said I'd prefer to hear that from the owner. She said the owner was abroad and unreachable.""I was abroad," Lyra said slowly. "I wasn't unreachable.""No. I don't suppose you were.""Did she say why she thought I might not stay?""She said there were family complications." A small, pointed silence. "I didn't ask for details. I don't gossip, Ms. Nightbane. But I do read between lines
Pleasured By My Elder Brother Chapter 318: I'm the owner of Nightbane Atelier
Dinner was at eight.The housekeeper had laid the table for five. Isabella came down early, as she'd meant to, and stood in the doorway and looked at it. Candles. Silver. The good plates. She had set the places herself that morning, in her usual pattern: Victor at the head, herself at the foot, Karla and Lyra on one side, Damien on the other.Across from each other.She had done it without thinking. It was how the table had been laid since Lyra was a girl. The two children facing one another over the bread, so that she could watch their faces and keep the peace.She stood there a long time.Then, very quietly, so the housekeeper wouldn't see, she walked around the table and picked up Lyra's place card. She carried it to the other side. She set it down next to Damien's, and she moved the silver, and the water glass, and the napkin. She stepped back.It looked strange. It looked like a small, plain thing, two chairs side by side.She did not know what it meant. She only knew that, stand

"What would you be saying?"A pause."That something is wrong at the studio. That it's not an accident. That someone made a series of choices that look careful from far away and sloppy up close.""Someone in the studio.""Someone close to it."Isabella's hand found the wall."Lyra." Damien's voice had gone very quiet. "You're telling me there's a problem and refusing to tell me who. That's the one thing I've said I wouldn't accept.""I know.""Then why?""Because I told you I needed to do this myself, and you let me." Lyra's voice wavered, then steadied. "You let me go in by myself today. I want to finish what I started. I'll tell you when I'm sure. I promise. Not a day later.""And if you're in danger?""I'm not. I've called Emma. There's someone looking at the books. It'll take a few days.""A few days.""Damien."A long silence. Isabella held her breath. She could hear the clock in the hall. She could hear her own heart."Fine," Damien said. It came out rough, like a word he'd had

Lyra set her phone down with shaking hands and stood up.Her legs felt weak, her body hypersensitive. Every movement of fabric against her skin made her gasp.She walked to the full-length mirror in her room and looked at herself.Her hair was disheveled from the flight and the stress. Her face was

Lyra stared at her phone screen, her heart still racing from the encounter in the hallway.DarkVeil: Welcome home, little one. Did you miss me?Her fingers trembled as she typed back.LyraNight: How did you know I got to New York? I didn't tell you I was flying home.The three dots appeared immedia

Her phone screen glowed accusingly in the darkness, her shameful confession staring back at her. With shaking hands, she minimized the app and clutched the phone to her chest, heart hammering so hard she thought it might break through her ribs.Footsteps on the stairs.Light, measured and feminine.

Lyra's fingers trembled as she typed, the blue glow of her phone the only light in her darkened bedroom.LyraNight: I thought about him again today. God, I'm so fucked up.She held her breath, waiting. The three dots appeared almost immediately....her anonymous stranger always responded, no matter
