THE BILLIONAIRE'S BEAUTIFUL MARIONETTE Together at last
Lucia's pov The morning sky shone brighter than any I’d ever seen in weeks. Or maybe it was just me seeing things out of sheer happiness.Because today Sophia was coming home.I stood on the veranda of the penthouse,my hands shaky on the railings as I looked upon the sky some more. My pulse raced with every ticking second, anticipation filling me to the brim. Today wasn't about the complexities of a contract marriage, business mergers or what not, it was about her.“Adrian just checked in. The transport suv just left the airport two hours ago.” Lucas's calm voice sliced through the morning air.“An hour?” My voice rose and I could hear my own excitement.“It's probably less now,” he finished simply.“White empress hopped out from the living room, circling my feet as if she knew I was happy. I crouched down for a minute, scooping her into my arms as I felt her soft fur against my skin.“She's coming back, empress.” I whispered to her like she could understand. “She's really coming ba
THE BILLIONAIRE'S BEAUTIFUL MARIONETTE Homecoming preparation
Lucia's povThe penthouse felt so alive with the news of Sophia's homecoming.This was the first time since I had entered Lucas Marano's world of monochrome and order that I'd begun to see true light and happiness. So now I moved with purpose. No more aimlessly wandering for me now,I had a new goal: prepare for Sophia and the rest of this marriage.I stood in the guestroom - soon to be Sophia's room - notepad in my hand trying to picture my little sister inside this room. The space was almost bigger than the whole of our last apartment and I sighed.Fate was truly a funny thing, wasn't it?The bed looked too big for her infact but I'd suspected that she'd enjoy it.“She'd obviously get swallowed by this thing but knowing her, she'd still love it,” I muttered as I shook my head fondly, smoothing out the bed and its enormous duvet.A soft rustle drew my eyes to the corner.My bunny baby - who now went by the name “white empress” - twitched her nose as she was munching on the last remai

Chapter twenty Lucia's pov After I had searched my room some more, I decided to go down the stairs to do more searching for my bunny. My heart was doing acrobatics in my ribcage and for once I didn't even mind it. My precious bunny was gone. The towel bed I made for it was destroyed, the water basin turned over and I was just so angry with myself right now. “I can't believe I was so careless.” I muttered angrily as I bolted down the stairs fast and barefoot. My pulse sprinting alongside me. My newfound joy, the small creature that made me feel genuinely warm and fuzzy inside for the first time in a long time, had vanished into this labyrinth-like mansion where silence could swallow all if you'd let it. I continued my hallway search desperately,my voice hushed but still panicked. “Bunny baby? Where are you?.” No bunny-like sound - just the low hum of the air-conditioner and my heavy breathing. I stormed the large living room, the kitchen and even a small terrace t
THE BILLIONAIRE'S BEAUTIFUL MARIONETTE The bunny
Lucia's pov The following morning,I found my way into the penthouses' front garden on one of my exploratory trips for the day.The memories of Last night's dinner still replayed in my mind like a broken record - the tension, Lucas's signature stare and everything else. My feelings were stretched too thin but the continuous green lawn with tulips and roses, hedges and a glassy fountain gave me the peace I needed.That's when I saw the creature.A little ball of white fur running from one flowerbed to the next. At first I thought I was hallucinating, but when I approached it cautiously a soft looking pair of ears popped up from the beds.It was a baby bunny.It was so small, barely the size of my palms put together with shaky whiskers and brown eyes. My heart was full of unexpected joy and I couldn't help but laugh at the little ball of cuteness. I hadn't seen a bunny in so long…it was so innocent and cute and I was just loving it.“Hey tiny thing,” I whispered, lowering myself steadil
THE BILLIONAIRE'S BEAUTIFUL MARIONETTE A brighter ray of hope
Lucia's pov Dinner with Lucas yesterday weighed heavily on me like thick metal. The silence between us was ironically too loud…just like a breakable wall made of unspoken words. His presence was enigmatic, dangerous and yet overwhelming all the same time. I tried not to despise him for making me feel like his puppet but everytime he looked at me with his assessing look, I almost always lose it.And the worst part is that I'm not entirely sure if the hate is genuine or forced.This morning, the penthouse was once again aglow with sunlight streaming from its huge windows, giving it a regal look.For once, the air wasn't so heavy with despair because I didn't wake up to beeping machines hooked up to my sister's body in a hospital. But waking up to an empty bed while I was ‘married’ was still a little unsettling to me.Granted, I didn't really understand Lucas yet nor did I want intimacy now but I couldn't help but wonder “what if”.All that didn't matter now because he was probably too
THE BILLIONAIRE'S BEAUTIFUL MARIONETTE precious memories and a storm
Lucia's pov Streams of sunlight hit me in the face once again,signaling the arrival of the morning.I sat awake to watch them bouncing off the sleek marbled floors and the tall glass panels of my guest room.The place still amazed me,it truly belonged to a billionaire - perfect and expensive and I would get used to it in time. I was sure of it. I knew that soon I'd feel less like a guest and more like someone who had a role to play here.Today I felt the overwhelming need for change. Granted,there was still a part of me that wanted to run away and hide after all that I'd gone through but it was overshadowed by something else, something that meant a lot to me. Mine and mine alone - ballet.So I decided to give into it and dress elegantly for an outing today. I picked a beautiful blue dress with a nice hairdo that'll last - before asking Adrian if the chauffeur could drive me out. And I felt relieved when Adrian didn't argue with me this time.“Mr. Marano already thought of this…the ch
