Chapter 43
Lucianne, Xandar and Christian skipped lunch in the dining hall for lunch at Christian’s home. Annie had wanted to meet Lucianne ever since Xandar first told Christian about finding his mate at the annual meet-and-greet.
The cousins and Lucianne herself really wanted to start digging into the audits, the real ones, so it sounded like lunch at the residence of the Duke and Duchess was the perfect plan. Lucianne was also concerned with how Ellia, Ben and the other two families were holding up, so when Xandar asked if she wanted to go, she didn’t hesitate to say yes.
Christian’s villa was about the same size as Xandar’s but the interior had more portraits. Xandar explained that Christian had been fascinated with art for as long as he could remember. His wife, Annie, loved flowers, which explained the colourful flower beds

Annie dropped her humour and reciprocated Lucianne’s serious demeanor, “They’re alright. But it’s always a worry when the kids are in school. Waiting for the time to pass, and just hoping that they’ll come home safely is pure torture.”“Let’s hope the case can be closed soon.” Lucianne said with furrowed brows. Suddenly, Lucianne felt her dress being gently tugged. She looked at the source, and her voice turned soft as she bent down to greet the little boy, “Hello, Russell. How was school today?”“Hello, Aunt Lucy.” He wrapped his little arms around Lucianne’s neck right after he said that. It didn’t matter how many times Russell hugged her, her heart would melt every

They sat at a huge dining table that the servants had to take out from the basement when the three families moved in. Ellia and Ben were happy to see Lucianne again. And Ellia introduced Lucianne to her assistants and their families. Brigetta Reese and her mate, Barton Reese were newlyweds, and had a six-month-old child named Beatrice. Oscar Wildrow was mateless for now, and lived with his sister, Olivia Wildrow. They all sat at the same table and ate the same food as the Duke and Duchess. Russell insisted that he sat with Lucianne. After knowing about Xandar’s jealousy, Lucianne made sure she stroked Xandar’s arm affectionately after she had given Russell any form of attention. Xandar’s animal beamed in pride whenever Lucianne touched him in front of so many people.When Lucianne asked the families wheth

Ellia and her assistants sorted out the audits in Christian’s study, explaining to them how it was arranged. And they started going through the stacks together. Russell somehow managed to convince his mother and Lucianne that he’ll be a good, quiet little boy doing his homework at a small corner table in the study while the adults around him worked. Xandar didn’t mind since he was far away enough from Lucianne.Since Ellia, Brigetta and Oliver were blackmailed into fabricating the audits without question, they never dared to scrutinize how the funds in the five people’s accounts were connected to each other. They were just told to change the figures so that the amounts resembled those of other government officials. In essence, the analysis on the real audits had to now start from scratch. After comparing the audits, they found a pattern in the incoming and outgoing

In the car, Xandar drove a bit before starting the conversation, “Lucy, Christian asked me to thank you.” Lucianne blinked in confusion, “For what?” Xandar explained sadly, “For not asking Annie why they don't have kids.” Lucianne then shrugged and said, “There’s no need to thank me for something like that. The absence of kids is only for two reasons. One is because they don’t want them, in which case, who am I to question their decision? Or two, it’s because…unfortunately, they can’t have them. If that’s the case, then why bring it up to hurt them even more?” Xandar laced his fingers with hers and kissed the back of her hand as he uttered, “You’re amazing.”

The family of three were wearing fake smiles as they bowed before them and said, “Your Highnesses. Your Grace.” Xandar, Christian and Lucianne bowed in return but the two cousins were trying to hatch an escape plan. Lucianne felt discomfort emanating from the two cousins but had no clue why. Xandar spoke first, his tone low and troubled, “Lord Kylton. Lady Kylton. To what do we owe the pleasure?” Lord Kylton said, “We received word that you’ve found your mate, and we wanted to convey our congratulations.” His Lordship spoke a little too loudly, as if to garner the attention of as many people as possible. Sure enough, many in the crowd had slowly stopped their conversations to look their way.

Lady Kylton’s husband and daughter looked at her in dismay and disappointment. The old woman blew up their carefully thought-out plan within seconds! Everyone in the dining hall looked at the family of three in disgust and disapproval. Her ladyship’s anger seemed to have blinded her from seeing that Lucianne was pushing her buttons, setting up a trap for her to walk right into. Both the cousins were seething with rage but their feet were rooted because Lucianne’s arms were stretched out in front of their bodies, blocking their way. But this didn’t stop them from growling murderously at the old woman. In the hall, many of the wolves and even some of the Lycans, who have grown to love and respect Lucianne, were also growling under their breaths as they

Back in the dining hall, Lucianne continued putting on a smile to ensure those around her that she was okay. But only Xandar and Juan could see that she was merely putting up a brave front. Juan didn’t bring up what he knew. Neither he nor Lucianne were comfortable breaking down in public. He hoped to mind-link her later that night, away from the crowd, just to make sure that she was okay. Lucianne was well aware that her brother-like figure saw right through her. And why wouldn’t he? He had known her forever. Xandar noticed that his mate was avoiding his gaze, and when he held her hand, her fingers didn’t respond as how they normally would. His consistently-whimpering animal wanted his human part to hold her and speak to her, to keep assuring her of his love for her. But his human part felt that his uncontrolled outbursts

Xandar’s heart cracked at the words ‘sad by myself’. When she started pulling up her covers and was about to slip the rest of her body under the sheets, he lifted her body up and placed her on his lap. After guiding her head to his chest, he muttered, “You don’t have to be sad by yourself, Lucy. You can be sad with me. We’ll get through this together. I love you, baby. It’s okay for you to break down in front of me. Please stop trying to hold everything back. Let it all out. Let it all out with me.”Lucianne couldn’t hold back any longer. She broke down with an anguished cry, and sobbed and sniffled in Xandar’s chest as she let the feelings of lack and unworthiness flow through her. Without allowing these emotions to pass through her being, she would never be free. The sensations would just build up and make her uncomfortable and dra
