(Noah's POV)

The silence in the penthouse feels staged, like a theatre set waiting for the actors to scream.

But there’s no screaming.

Not tonight.

Just me. And my blanket. And this hoodie I didn’t ask for but somehow can’t take off.

Lucien gave me a gun yesterday.

Or — no. Not gave. Offered.

Like it was a glass of water.

Like it was toothpaste.

Saying shit like, "You’re mine. You’ll learn to defend what I own."

I should’ve made a joke about being a Gucci bag or a poodle in pearls, but…

I didn’t.

Because my mouth stopped working the moment I saw it —

That gun.

I don’t even remember what kind. Black, small, smooth. I’ve probably played with the exact one in a game before.

But in Lucien’s hand, it looked like something worse.

Something ancient.

Something that knew me.

And that fucking sucks, I don't even know why, like I understand getting scared when we were held at gun point in front of Lucien's apparent law firm, but getting scared when handed a frickin gun? I just don't get it. I do

    ( Lucien’s POV)The scream hadn’t finished echoing when Noah hit the ground.For one horrifying second, I couldn’t breathe. The bat slipped from my hand, clattering uselessly on the blood-splattered floor. All I saw was Noah; small, trembling, terrified… and collapsing like his body had simply shut down.Everything else vanished.The men, the blood, the cell… all irrelevant.Only he mattered.I crossed the cell in two strides and scooped him into my arms. He was weightless; too light, too soft, too breakable. His head rested against my chest as if he belonged there, but his skin was cold with shock.My voice came out low.“Noah. Hey. Noah…”No response.I didn’t stay another second.I carried him out, my men stepping aside instantly. One of them shut the cell door behind us; the clang rang out like a punishment I deserved.We reached the living room upstairs.Slippers were waiting.My men were already kneeling to unbuckle the skating shoes from my feet; those blood-splattered monstros

  • Trigger Code: Obey The Devil   Chapter Sixty Five: This Madness

    The moment Lucien stepped out and the bedroom door clicked shut, silence swallowed the room whole.Noah lay where Lucien placed him, Lucien’s jacket still over his head, the soft fabric smelling faintly of cologne and gunpowder. It should have been comforting. It should have made him feel hidden, protected, small in a way that felt safe.Instead—Instead the room suddenly felt wrong.The corners darkened. Shadows stretched. A pressure settled over the walls, like the air was thickening, like something unseen had crawled in through the cracks and was now watching him.Noah’s chest tightened.Someone was here.He didn’t know how he knew it, but he knew.He curled tighter beneath the jacket, clutching the fabric as though it could shield him, but the sensation only worsened. The moment he covered his head, he felt— clear as breath against his neck— that something was hovering above him. Leaning down. Watching him from inches away.His breath stuttered.No.No no no—He yanked the jacket

    The first gunshot cracked through the night.Metal screamed. Glass burst.The car jerked violently left as the driver shouted something sharp and quick into the comms. Noah’s whole body stiffened, eyes wide, hands flying instinctively to his ears as another deafening blast ricocheted across the street.Lucien reacted before thought existed.He grabbed Noah, dragged him across the seat, and shielded him with his own body. He soon ripped off his suit jacket and he forced it over Noah’s head, cupping the back of Noah’s skull firmly.“Don’t look,” he ordered, voice deep and low and terrifyingly calm.Noah trembled beneath the suffocating fabric, breath coming fast—too fast—his chest rising and falling unevenly.Gunshots.Noah hated guns.Lucien knew that. He’d sworn to himself to keep guns away from the boy.But tonight… tonight he had no choice. The car swerved again, tires screeching as the driver maneuvered through the ambush with the calm of someone who had definitely lived through

  • Trigger Code: Obey The Devil   Chapter Sixty Three: The Auction

    ( Noah’s POV)A light tap on my bum made me jolt awake.I blinked into dim evening light, disoriented for a second. The room wasn’t mine, the ceiling wasn’t mine, the bed definitely wasn’t mine; which meant I’d been asleep for… I had no idea how long.Lucien stood beside the bed, dressed in fresh black-on-black like he’d stepped out of a billionaire mafia catalog. “Get up. We’re going to an auction.”I rubbed my eyes. “Auction?”He didn’t explain, he just turned and walked out with that quiet authority that meant follow. And I did.---A quick jump later — after freshening up, after finally locating my shoes in this maze of a house, after staring into the mirror wondering why the satin shirt, Lucien insisted I wear, made me look softer than usual — we were stepping through the mansion’s front doors, heading to the car where Daniel was already waiting with a bored expression and an expensive drink in hand.He perked right up the moment we reached the auction building.If Daniel were a

    ( Noah’s POV)I wasn't sure what Daniel was driving at but I couldn't have been more thankful when the masseurs stepped into the room, because now he'd let go of whatever he was trying to find out from me. The masseur’s hands were firm, professional… but foreign. Every press of his palm on my back made my skin tighten instead of relax. I wasn’t used to this. I wasn't used to people touching me gently, purposefully, like I was something worth caring for. My shoulders tensed, my chest felt too tight, and I almost flinched.No one had ever touched me like that. No one but Lucien.The thought slipped in before I could stop it. I shut my eyes, exhaling slowly, and imagined it was him… his hand tracing my back, his breath hovering just behind my ear, the low hum of his voice when he’d say my name like it belonged to him.The discomfort started fading. I pictured Lucien instead of the stranger, and suddenly, the heat in the room didn’t come just from the room's temperature.I was gone; half

  • Trigger Code: Obey The Devil   Chapter Sixty One: Suspicious

    (Noah's POV)The air in the sauna was heavy, hot; like really hot; and thick enough to make me forget how to breathe properly. I have never been in a freaking sauna before.Daniel leaned back against the wooden wall like he owned the heat itself, towel hanging low on his hips. His skin glistened, gold and dangerous under the orange lights. He looked like the kind of man who could talk his way into heaven and charm his way out of hell.I sat across from him, trying very hard not to fidget or stare at the water bead rolling slowly down his collarbone.He smiled when he caught me looking. “You’re tense, boy toy. Loosen up. It’s just heat, not an interrogation.”I forced a laugh. “Yeah, I can tell. You’re practically melting.”“Melting’s good for the soul,” he said, eyes closing briefly. “You should try it. Might even wash off that innocent act you’ve got going.”I blinked. “Innocent act?”He cracked an eye open, smirking. “Oh, come on. Lucien brings just anyone home. You’re not exactly h
