LUCIANOn the flight here, I had the whole thing mapped out in my head.I’llmeet the source, grill them about Nathan, poke into the hidden accounts and then crush everyone involvedin this scheme.That was the plan or rather, that had been the plan.The first problem I met was Corinne.Finding her heretripped me up. If I’m guessing right, she’s either part of whatever this was and came to cover their tracks, or she somehow got ahead of me and followed the lead on her own.Neither option worked in her favor.So I decided to make her sit through the meeting, hoping that watching me tear the truth out of the

CORINNEThis is it.This is the absolute end of the line.Because the way Lucian is looking at me right now… there’s no version of this where I’ll get to walk away unscathed. Or without my cover blown.I cursed Maya silently. She’d assured me that the email trail was wiped from his servers, so there’ll be no way for him to find out. So much for trusting mere technology when faced with a devil.My grip tightened around the strap of my bag as he started to advance towards me.“I asked you a question,” he repeated, when he was within earshot. “What the hell are you doing here?”“I… I have some business here,” I hate the way my voice betrayed me as I stuttered out.Before I could think of anything better to fix the flimsy excuse, he closed the distance completely, backing me up until my shoulders hit the wall behind me. I quickly looked around, searching for an exit but there wasn’t one.With him caging me, I could feel the thrum of anger coming off him in waves.“The last thing

LUCIAN“Mum,” I groaned out.“I’m just saying,” she replied calmly while arranging desserts onto a tray like she has all the time in the world. “It’s very strange that you’re suddenly this secretive over someone.”Secretive.If she only knew.We are still circling the same topic we’ve been stuck on for the past ten minutes—my so-called date. I wonder how this conversation would shift if I tell her the truth. If I tell her that the mysterious woman she’s so curious about was actually someone I had paid to be my wife for six months.That would go over well.“And like I told you earlier,” I said, leaning back against the kitchen counter, “you’ll have to wait until Matt’s wedding to meet her.”She glanced at me over her shoulder. “Why?”“Because you’ll likely scare her off with all the interrogation and prodding. I’m doing you both a favor.”She clutched a silver spoon to her chest. “I most certainly will not. I am perfectly capable of being a gracious host.”I laughed. “Have you actually

CORINNEI frowned as I forced my eyes open, my vision still blurry with sleep. “Lucian?”His hand, which had been hovering suspiciously close to my face, slowly dropped back to his side. He was watching me with a strange expression, something unreadable shifting across his features before it vanished almost immediately.What the hell?Was he about to strangle me in my sleep?I squinted at him, then glanced around the dim living room as awareness seeped in. When I tried to sit up, the weight on my body stopped me and I looked down to find the twins fast asleep on me.Oh…We had eaten early, then migrated to the living room where all three of us passed out mid-cartoon.“What are you doing down here?” he asked, his voice laced with that infuriating hateful feeling.I rolled my eyes slightly and adjusted Eli’s head so he wouldn’t slide off me.“We had an early dinner and they wanted to watch something,” I said quietly, then fixed him with a pointed look. “And can you lower your voice? It

LUCIAN“…if we get the head of Max’s finance team to sign off on the deal, we can move the entire acquisition forward by next quarter.”I stared at Isaac as he spoke. My eyes tracked his moving mouth but I wasn’t processing a single word.I’ve been useless all day.Ever since I left Corinne and the boys at the house this morning, my mind has been stuck in that bathroom. In the way she’d been genuinely laughing with me like we were long time buddies. Like she didn’t hate me for a second.At that moment, I’d gotten to see her unshielded self, she was just… Corinne.I wasn’t going to lie to myself and pretend we suddenly are in a good place.Hell, I had actually apologized to her last night and what I got in return was a flat ‘okay.’I knew I should’ve just kept my mouth shut. But seeing her motionless on that bathroom floor had done something to me that I hadn’t been prepared for.The fear had hit first. Then came the anger.Anger because she kept brushing it off like her pain didn’t ma

CORINNE“I’m sorry.”I must have hit my head harder than I thought. Because there was absolutely no way the infamous Lucian Delacroix just uttered an apology.To me.My eyes narrowed as I try to keep them fixed on his face and not drift downward. The headache taking home at the back of my skull made everything hazy, also… it didn’t help that he was still shirtless.“What?”He rubbed the back of his neck like doing this was hard on him. “I said I’m sorry.”“For what?” I pushed.I could see the muscles in his jaw ticking as he shot me a flat look. “What do you think?”“I wouldn’t know,” I replied calmly, leaning back into the soft pillows. “I’m not the one apologizing here.”“For the trackers,” he finally said through gritted teeth. “I shouldn’t have done that.”I studied him for a second, trying to figure out what had suddenly brought this on. Lucian isn’t the type to apologize, like at all.Days ago, I would’ve antagonize him about this but right now, I just want to sleep and mull ove
