Chapter 38

The private clinic room smelled of antiseptic and blood.

I sat beside Lucian’s bed, holding his large, calloused hand between both of mine, my thumbs stroking the back of his knuckles over and over as if the motion could will him back to consciousness. The steady beep of the heart monitor was the only sound breaking the heavy silence. Machines breathed for him, pumped fluids into his veins, and tracked every fragile beat of his heart.

  • 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

  • Ruin Me,DADDY   Prison Flames

    Chapter 44: Prison Flames**Bella’s POV**I couldn’t sleep.Not after handing my father the new evidence. Not after watching Lila and Lucian finally find each other again across the courtyard. The fragile hope in their reunion only made the darkness I was digging into feel heavier.I sat alone in the secure secondary office Lucian had given me access to, surrounded by multiple monitors and encrypted files. The estate was quiet for once, but my mind was loud. I had one more lead to chase before I could rest — the full, unredacted prison surveillance archives I’d paid a small fortune to obtain through a shady contact.The footage was labeled “Laundry Sector C – Restricted.” I hesitated for half a second before hitting play.What I saw wasn’t just sex.It was something much darker. Much more dangerous.The video showed a dimly lit corner of the prison laundry facility. Steam from the machines created a hazy atmosph

  • Ruin Me,DADDY   Bella's Choice

    Chapter 43: Bella’s ChoiceThe east wing had become my gilded cage once again. Three days of separation from Lucian felt like three weeks. I moved through the luxurious rooms like a shadow — eating when Bella forced me to, sleeping only when exhaustion finally claimed me, and spending long hours on the balcony staring across the courtyard at the man who refused to bridge the gap.My body was still healing. The physical ache from the miscarriage had faded into a dull emptiness, but the emotional wound felt fresh every time I woke up reaching for Lucian’s warmth.Bella had become my constant shadow. She brought me coffee in the mornings, updated me on the children (Alexander was still angry and distant, refusing most calls), and sat with me in silence when the grief hit hardest. Tonight, she joined me on the balcony with two glasses of sparkling water and a determined look on her face.“You’re both idiots,” she said bluntly, handing me a glass.

  • Ruin Me,DADDY   The Separation Deepens

    Chapter 42: The Separation DeepensThe morning after the attack dawned blood-red over the estate. Lucian’s wound had been cleaned and stitched, but the real damage ran far deeper. I watched him from across our bedroom as he stood shirtless before the mirror, staring at the fresh bandage on his shoulder with hollow eyes. The powerful, dominant man I loved looked… broken.“You need to rest,” I said softly, approaching him from behind. I wrapped my arms around his waist, pressing my cheek to his uninjured shoulder. His skin was warm, but his body felt rigid.“I can’t rest while they’re still out there.” His voice was rough, edged with self-loathing. “I walked into a trap like a fucking amateur. Three of our men are in the hospital because of me. You could have died because of me.”I turned him to face me. “We survived. Together. That’s what matters.”But Lucian wasn’t hearing me. The spiral I’d witnessed last night had only deepened with the

  • Ruin Me,DADDY   Lucian's Spirals

    Chapter 41: Lucian’s SpiralThe command center felt like a pressure cooker. Every monitor showed chaos unfolding above us. Gunfire cracked through the external speakers. Muzzle flashes lit up the night as our security team clashed with Damian’s intruders. I stood frozen in front of the largest screen, heart hammering against my ribs, one hand pressed to my still-tender stomach.“Lucian…” I whispered, watching his tall, powerful figure move like death across the lawn. Even on grainy night-vision feed, he was terrifying — ruthless, precise, and completely in his element. He took down two attackers with brutal efficiency, never hesitating.Bella stood beside me, jaw tight. “He’s in full monster mode. This is what he becomes when he thinks you’re in danger.”I couldn’t look away. Pride and terror twisted together inside me as I watched the man I loved become the weapon our enemies feared. He moved like a force of nature — no fear, only lethal purpose.

  • Ruin Me,DADDY   Voss Blood

    Chapter 32: Voss BloodI didn’t knock.My bare feet carried me across the courtyard and through the connecting door into Lucian’s wing before my mind could catch up. The photo on my phone burned like a brand—Alexander’s bright, innocent smile next to Maya Voss. Derek Voss’s daug

  • Ruin Me,DADDY   University Secrets

    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   Fragile Hope

    Chapter 28: Fragile HopeMorning light filtered through the reinforced hospital windows, softer than I expected for a place that held so much fear. I lay propped against a mountain of pillows, Lucian’s arm wrapped securely around me. He hadn’t left the bed except for quick showers and hu

  • Ruin Me,DADDY   Grief and Distance

    Chapter 30: Grief and DistanceThe beach house felt like both sanctuary and prison. For three days I drifted through its sunlit rooms like a ghost, wrapped in oversized sweaters that still carried Lucian’s scent no matter how many times I changed. Elena stayed with me, quietly bringing t
