Royal Temptation chapter twenty five
Aziel's POVI sat in the living room, leaning back against the chair. Nikolai was pacing back and forth, glancing at his watch.“This is not like him,” he muttered, flipping his phone from his back pocket.“What would you expect from an ex-con?” Luciano teased beside me.Nikolai fisted his hands, glaring at him like he wanted to strangle him.“How dare you talk about him like that?” he growled, middle finger raised.I had had enough, so I leaned back. “Did you guys have a fight?” I asked.“So what if we did? That’s not enough reason for him to just walk away,” he snapped.That was an added advantage for me. We could just say he got fed up and left. No lose ends.“Maybe you should listen to your father and go back home,” I suggested.“I’m not going anywhere. I don’t even trust you. I know you did something,” he accused.“How many times do you want us to plead innocent of all your claims?” Luciano questioned.“You think I’m stupid? His phone goes dead in your mansion and he disappears?”
Royal Temptation chapter twenty four
Aziel's POVI strode down the staircase, Luciano following right behind me, holding his chest.Cough. Cough. Cough.“What?” I snapped, slightly irritated at his persistence when I already knew he had something to say.“Smooching, are we? What was that about?”“Giving him something to think about,” I shrugged.He sighed deeply, glaring at me as we stopped in the hallway.“I don’t understand any of that nonsense,” he smirked.“Doctor’s orders—keep him occupied,” I said. He tried to figure out why I did that for the next few hours, so mission accomplished.“I never thought I’d live long enough to see the great Don Aziel become someone’s knight in dark armor.”“Whatever, man,” I lifted a finger dismissively, walking ahead. “What’s the emergency?”“Your old man called. Wanted to speak to you.”I came to a halt, jaw tightening.“That’s what you called me for? I thought something happened, damnit.”“If I told you the truth, you wouldn’t have gone down those stairs. So deal with it.”He was o

Zarek's POVI could handle pain, but not this. It tore through me, a razor slicing along every nerve. I tried to get off the bed, but a dull ache ran through my hip. I stared down at the wound, swollen. Flesh ripped open, and throbbing on its own.For the first time, I wanted to kill someone with my right mind, not like that drunken night, a mistake burned into memory. Tyron deserved worse. Something I could not even imagine unleashing.I pushed myself upright, legs trembling as I wiggled toward the floor, fingers scraping along the wall for balance. I made it to the bathroom and shut the door, leaning back and drawing shallow, jagged breaths.Hands ran through my hair as I collapsed onto the cold marble floor. The chill bit through me, echoing my heartbeat in the empty room. Everyone must have known by now.Weak. Pathetic. The voices were not external; they gnawed at me from inside. My head pounded harder with each thrum. Pieces of it were missing. His touch lingered too long, his sc

Aziel's POV"Is he awake?" I asked quietly as the door closed behind Chavez, my stomach twisting with dread. He'd been there long enough that my mind feared the worst."No."I gestured for him to walk with me down the stairs to my office.Finally seated across from each other, he dropped his bag to the side."Is he okay?"He paused, eyes flicking toward mine, a shadow of worry shadowing his features. I leaned forward, elbows braced on my knees, hands clasped together."I can't give a definitive answer right now," he said, rubbing the back of his neck. "There are some signs of trauma… minor bruising, some swelling. But it’s unclear how it happened."I exhaled sharply, digging my fingers into the chair’s edge until the wood groaned under the pressure. "Any damages?"He paused, his gaze scanning mine carefully."Nothing permanent from what I can see, but it’s early. He seemed sedated at one point. Could be medication… could be something else. Honestly, I need more time to know for certai

Aziel's POV"We are going to be late," I warned, gripping the door handle of my office.Luciano arched a brow before returning to the laptop. He had been at it for the last ten minutes, fully aware we were supposed to have already left the penthouse for the docks. Luka and Nikolai had gone ahead, but I needed to be there."Get your ass down. Keep standing like that and I won't finish a thing," he said without looking up.I dropped into the chair for a second before springing back up, running a hand through my hair as I paced the room like a caged animal, frustration knotting every muscle."Do you have a problem?" he asked."Yeah. We should already be halfway through arranging the new shipment. Why couldn't you handle this paperwork last night?"He scowled. "I had some good pussy at my mercy. It's not my fault it was that good.""Fuck you.""Not my fault you haven't been laid in so long you're snapping at everything like a mad dog."Silence stretched between us, thick and uncomfortable
Royal Temptation Chapter twenty
Zarek's POV"Is everything okay?" Elise asked, placing the tray of food on the table."Yeah, why do you ask?" I adjusted my posture on the couch, maintaining a calm expression even though Elise looked like she was going to pluck the words right out of my mouth."Since you moved out of the mansion, you seem a little bit sad.""I am fine." I shrugged. "Enough about me, why are you up this early?"Her face lit up as she sank into the couch beside me."First, you didn't come for dinner last night so I prepared you an early breakfast.""Thanks."Courtesy of the jerk who ruined my day, I couldn't even go down for dinner, the worst part being I left my phone in the penthouse and couldn't go back to get it."Second reason?" I asked, my hand holding my chin up."Godfather travelled last night," she beamed.Not what I had expected, but it had me curious to the bones."How is that good news?""He gave all the maids a day off, so I get to go home and come back tomorrow.""You must really miss you
