Chapter 8: Broken Glass

Chaos erupted in the house.

My heart thundered in my chest as Lucian moved like a shadow through the dimly lit hallway, gun gripped firmly in his hand. I followed close behind, my silk robe clutched tightly around my body, bare feet stepping carefully over the cool marble floor.

“Stay behind me,” he ordered, voice low and lethal.

Isabella appeared at the top of the staircase, her face pale and eyes wide with shock. She had thrown on

  • Ruin Me,DADDY   Wounds Inside and Out

    Chapter 53: Wounds Inside and OutThe afternoon light filtered softly through the reinforced windows of the medical suite, casting gentle shadows across Lucian’s bandaged torso. I hadn’t slept more than an hour since he stumbled through the door covered in blood. My body ached from sitting in the same chair, but I refused to leave. Every breath he took was a victory I refused to take for granted.Lucian stirred, his steel-gray eyes cracking open. This time they were clearer, sharper. The pain medication had dulled the edges, but the man beneath was waking up fully. “Princess,” he rasped, his voice still rough but stronger than before.I set aside the book I’d been pretending to read and leaned forward, taking his hand. “Hey, you. Welcome back properly.” My fingers brushed his forehead, checking for fever. No spikes. Thank God.He tried to sit up, but I gently pushed him back against the pillows. “Don’t even think about it. Doctor Harlan said rest.

  • Ruin Me,DADDY   Blood and Promises

    Chapter 52: Blood and PromisesThe sterile lights of our home medical suite burned my eyes as I refused to look away from Lucian’s pale face. Machines beeped in a steady, mechanical rhythm that felt both reassuring and terrifying. His blood still stained my silk robe, warm at first, now drying into a dark crust against my skin. I didn’t care. I wouldn’t leave his side.“Stay with me,” I whispered, my voice raw from screaming earlier. My fingers gripped his large hand, tracing the familiar calluses and veins that had held me down so many nights, that had wiped my tears and cradled our children. “You don’t get to die on me, Lucian Kane. Not after you promised forever.”The doctor—a retired trauma surgeon we kept on permanent retainer for moments exactly like this—worked with calm efficiency. Dr. Harlan had seen the worst of Lucian’s world before. Two nurses assisted him, cutting away the rest of the ruined shirt, cleaning the gunshot wound in Lucian’s left s

  • Ruin Me,DADDY   The Longest Night

    Chapter 51: The Longest NightMy fingers trembled as I clutched the sealed letter Lucian had pressed into my hand before walking out the door. The thick cream paper, embossed with his personal seal, felt like both a lifeline and a death sentence. The grandfather clock in the foyer ticked mercilessly, each second stretching into eternity. It was just past midnight, and the estate felt like a tomb without him.Bella sat beside me on the oversized leather sofa in the living room, her long legs tucked under her, dark hair falling messily over one shoulder. She hadn’t left my side since Lucian departed. “He’s coming back, Lila,” she said quietly, her voice steadier than mine could ever be right now. “That stubborn bastard doesn’t know how to lose.”I tried to smile, but it cracked. “He’s meeting Damian alone. Alone, Bella. After everything we’ve been through…” My voice broke. I pressed the letter to my chest, feeling the weight of his words even though I hadn’t

  • Ruin Me,DADDY   Desperate Chase

    Chapter 47: Desperate ChaseThe words hit like a gunshot.“Alexander is gone. Derek Voss has him and Maya.”For one frozen second, the entire world went silent. Then chaos exploded.Lucian surged out of bed, ignoring the pain in his shoulder, his face transforming into something primal and terrifying. “Find them. Now!”I was already moving, pulling on clothes with shaking hands. My heart felt like it was being ripped out of my chest. Our little boy — the sweet, idealistic child who only wanted to love a girl — was in the hands of the man who hated us most.Lucian barked orders into his phone while dressing. “I want every available man. Drones in the air. Track his phone, his watch, anything. Seal the city if you have to.”I grabbed his arm. “Lucian, we do this together. No lone hero shit. Not this time.”His eyes met mine — wild, terrified, but he nodded once. “Together.”Bella burst into the room momen

  • Ruin Me,DADDY   Heart break Confession

    Chapter 46: Heartbreak ConfessionThe storm that had been building for weeks finally broke inside our home that night.After Ethan’s brutal warning and Mira’s terrified arrival, the estate felt like a powder keg. Security was tripled. The children remained in lockdown at the academy under heavy guard. Lucian’s wound pulled with every movement, but he refused to slow down. I moved through the house with a strange, hollow calm — the eye of the hurricane.Lucian found me in the master bedroom just after midnight. I was standing at the window in a silk robe, staring at the rain lashing against the glass. He closed the door softly behind him and crossed the room without speaking. His strong arms wrapped around me from behind, one hand splaying protectively over my lower belly — the spot that still felt achingly empty.“I can’t stop thinking about it,” I whispered, voice cracking. “Our baby. How tiny they were. How we never even got to feel them move pr

  • Ruin Me,DADDY   The Video Leak

    Chapter 45: The Video LeakThe estate had barely recovered from the previous night’s intrusion when the next bomb dropped.I sat in the main living room with Lucian and Bella, the morning sun doing little to warm the chill that had settled over all of us. Lucian’s shoulder was freshly bandaged, his movements still stiff, but his eyes burned with that familiar lethal focus. Bella looked exhausted but determined, dark circles under her eyes from hours spent reviewing the prison footage.“We can’t sit on this anymore,” Bella said, sliding her tablet across the coffee table. “The world needs to see who Derek and Victoria really are. Especially their so-called allies.”I hesitated. “Leaking prison sex tapes… it feels dirty. Even for them.”Lucian’s hand rested possessively on my thigh. “They threatened to rape you in front of me, Lila. They want to torture our children. There is no line I won’t cross to protect this family.”Bella nod

    Chapter 31: University SecretsThe east wing suite had become my cocoon—soft, quiet, and painfully lonely. Five days into my self-imposed distance and the sharp edges of grief had dulled into a constant, heavy ache. I moved through the rooms like someone recovering from major surgery, sl

  • Ruin Me,DADDY   United Front

    Chapter 26: United FrontAlarms screamed through the estate like a war cry. Red emergency lights pulsed along the hallways as Lucian shoved me behind him, his body a wall of muscle and fury. Bella was already moving, grabbing a tablet from the desk and pulling up the security feeds.

  • Ruin Me,DADDY   Seven Days

    Chapter 25: Seven DaysThe message burned on the screen like a brand. Lucian stood naked at the foot of our bed, chest heaving, every muscle coiled with lethal rage. I pulled the sheet around my naked body and crawled toward him, still aching from the way he’d claimed me minutes earlier.

    Chapter 24: Escalating Danger The estate gates slammed shut behind us with a heavy metallic clang that sounded final. Lucian’s hand never left my thigh the entire drive, his grip alternating between possessive and reassuring. I kept staring at the photo on my phone—Alexander’s frig
