Chapter 13: Cracks in Paradise

The silence in our bedroom was deafening.

I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the closed door Lucian had just walked through. His words kept replaying in my head like a broken record:

*“That softness almost got our baby killed today.”*

Tears slipped down my cheeks. I had survived betrayal, kidnapping, public humiliation, and years of navigating Lucian’s intense world. But those words… they cut deeper than anything else ha

  • 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

  • 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   Chapter 97

  • Ruin Me,DADDY   Chapter 94

    Chapter 94 Lucian stood motionless at the center of the penthouse war room, arms crossed over his broad chest, eyes locked on the glowing screens. Blueprints, thermal layouts, guard shift rotations, and escape routes covered every surface. His mind moved like a machine cold, precise, ru
