Chapter 39

The private clinic room felt smaller with every passing minute.

I sat beside Lucian’s bed, my hand wrapped tightly around his, refusing to let go even as the hours dragged on. The heart monitor beeped steadily, a constant reminder that he was still fighting, still clinging to life after taking two bullets for me and Ryan. The doctors had warned me the next twenty-four to forty-eight hours were critical. He had lost too much blood. The second bullet had caused inte

  • 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.

    Chapter 7: First Night of TensionThe silence in our bedroom was heavier than any I had ever felt in this house.I lay on my side facing away from Lucian, the silk sheets cool against my heated skin. Even after the intense way he had just claimed me — deep, possessive thrusts mi

    Chapter 5: The Stranger at the Gala The word “daughter” hung in the air like smoke after a gunshot. I sat frozen on the leather couch in Lucian’s study, the throw blanket clutched tightly against my bare chest. My heart hammered so loudly I was sure he could hear it. Lucian stood near the window,

    Chapter 4: Elena’s VisitThe morning light felt gentler today, or maybe it was just the lingering glow of last night’s passion still humming through my veins. I stood in front of the full-length mirror in our walk-in closet, adjusting the soft lavender sundress that hugged my curves. Lucian came up
