Kayla's POV

The sound of the phone hitting the floor echoed in the quiet apartment like a gunshot.

My heart didn’t just skip a beat, it felt like it shattered completely into dust. I stood there in the doorway, frozen, my fingers still clutching the strap of my bag as my mother stared at me. Her face had gone completely pale, drained of all color, her breathing turning shallow and fast. For a second, I thought she was going to collapse right there.

"Mom..." I said, my voice trembling so hard t

  • Sold For A Night, Bound For A Lifetime    Chapter 76

    Kayla's POVThe next Day...I woke up before the sun came up over the city.My chest felt heavy, and I felt completely down. Just when I thought my life was finally getting better—just when I started believing the worst was behind us and we were building a real home—the truth about Lucien's world had hit me right in the face.I turned my head. Lucien was still asleep beside me, his dark hair messy against the white pillow. One of his long, muscular arms was stretched across the spot where I had been lying. I slowly slipped out of bed without making a sound and went into the bathroom. I washed my face with cold water and brushed my teeth, trying not to look at myself in the mirror.I needed some fresh air, so I put on a cream cashmere cardigan over my top and walked down the stairs to the kitchen.I walked around the kitchen island—and stopped.Chloe was sitting on one of the tall chairs, drinking tea and eating toasted bread.My stomach dropped, and anger quickly took its place. She w

  • Sold For A Night, Bound For A Lifetime    Chapter 75

    Lucien's POVI stood in the middle of the master bedroom, the phone still tight in my fist. I was gripping it so hard that the glass casing cracked."What happened?" Kayla asked, sitting up on the edge of the bed, her silk nightgown slipping slightly off her shoulder. She noticed the sudden change in my mood, her eyes widening with worry."Chloe is in the elevator," I said, my voice full of anger. "She used an old security card to get past the lobby."Kayla went pale, her breath catching. "What?""Stay here," I growled, stepping away from the bed.I grabbed a black T-shirt and a pair of dark trousers, pulling them on with angry movements. My blood was boiling, and anger throbbed through my head. I had clearly warned that useless woman to stay out of my sight before I returned to Manhattan. Instead of accepting that she was no longer welcome, she had the nerve to show up at my fucking front door.I walked out of the bedroom, slamming the heavy wooden door behind me, and headed down the

  • Sold For A Night, Bound For A Lifetime    Chapter 74

    Kayla's POVThe penthouse on the top floor of Thorne Tower was absolutely beautiful.Huge windows covered the entire living room, giving us a clear view of the Manhattan skyline far below. The dark, cold look I remembered from five years ago was completely gone. The floors were covered in white marble and soft dark rugs, the walls had warm lights, and the master bedroom had been cleaned and decorated from top to bottom.Amber was in heaven."Mommy! Look! The city looks like tiny toys from up here!" she squealed, pressing her little face against the thick glass.She had claimed the huge corner bedroom down the hall, which Lucien's interior design team had turned into a little fairytale world overnight. It had a custom canopy bed, built-in bookshelves filled with children's books, and a private playroom packed with stuffed toys.I stood in the middle of the huge living room, holding a warm cup of tea and trying to understand how much our lives had changed in less than forty-eight hours.

    Kayla's POVA week later..I woke up not to the loud sound of an alarm, but to the rich smell of freshly ground coffee and warm vanilla pastries drifting down the hallway.I stretched under the soft sheets, taking a quiet breath as I looked around my dark bedroom. Lucien was already out of bed. I put on a silk robe—one of the many expensive things sitting in shopping bags in the corner—and walked barefoot down the narrow hall toward the kitchen.The scene waiting for me left me completely shocked.Standing in my small, cramped kitchen was a middle-aged man in a clean white chef's coat, flipping golden blueberry pancakes on my small stove while placing smoked bacon on a porcelain plate. Vance stood quietly near the back door, holding an iPad, while Lucien sat at the small wooden dining table in a fresh black turtleneck and dark trousers."Good morning, ma'am," the chef said with a warm smile as he placed a cup of hot coffee in front of my seat."Good... morning?" I murmured, still conf

  • Sold For A Night, Bound For A Lifetime    Chapter 72

    Kayla's POVThe early morning sun streamed through the thin linen curtains, painting the bedroom in soft golden light.I woke up slow, wrapped in an intense, heavy warmth. I was completely naked, my skin sensitive and flushed, trapped close against Lucien’s broad, rock solid frame. His massive arm was heavy over my waist, pulling me securely against his chest, his slow, rhythmic breathing brushing against the back of my neck.I lay there for a quiet moment, staring at the sunbeams on the floorboards, a silly, involuntary smile creeping onto my lips as the memories of last night flooded my mind. Five years of starving, and last night he had completely wrecked me. God, I had forgotten how insanely good he was at taking his time, how easily he could make me lose my mind, making me scream and cum over and over until my knees were weak. I had missed that touch so damn badly.Then, my eyes drifted to the small digital clock on my nightstand.7:50 AM."Fuck!" I gasped, the sudden wave of pan

  • Sold For A Night, Bound For A Lifetime    Chapter 71

    Kayla's POVThe morning sun barely showed through the thick, grey mist covering Oakridge.I placed a plate of warm French toast in front of Amber, watching her little boots swing under the kitchen table. She was bouncing in her seat, her small hands sticky with syrup as she talked nonstop about her school drawing project. I smiled softly and leaned down to wipe a bit of butter from her chin, but my mind was going in circles.After breakfast, I dressed her in a neat trousers and top and brushed her curls, and put on my thick wool coat. I picked up her small yellow backpack, ready to walk her down the gravel lane.RUMBLE.A deep, heavy sound shook through the floorboards. A huge black luxury SUV slowly passed the window, blocking out the morning light.My heart jumped. I didn't need to look outside. I knew that engine.The driver's door opened, and Lucien stepped onto the gravel driveway. He wore a blue suit, his dark hair combed back. His presence filled the quiet country air."Daddy!"
