~LUCAS~

Stella's the last person I expected to see in my house.

For a moment, I genuinely think I'm imagining things.

“You finally came home. I've been waiting for you.”

The room goes very still after Stella says that.

For a moment I just stare at her, trying to process what I’m seeing.

The dim streetlight through the curtain barely lights the room, but it’s enough.

Enough to see her clearly.

Enough to see that she hasn’t changed at all. She's still wearing the same d

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    A CORNERED ALBERT

    ~LUCAS~The classroom never really returns to normal after everything that happened, even though it tries to.Voices rise again, chairs scrape, someone even laughs a little too loudly as if forcing life back into the room….but something has shifted. Something unseen, heavy, lingers in the air like a storm that hasn’t decided when to break.And I feel it.Even as Marcella’s fingers remain laced with mine, even as she stands close enough for me to still feel the warmth of her body… there’s a tension crawling under my skin.Not from her.From everything else.From the way the room had gone quiet earlier.From the way those men had listened to her.From the way Albert had looked…My jaw tightens slightly.I hadn't missed it.Not the door opening. Not the figure standing there. Not the silence that followed.I glance briefly toward the entrance now, but Albert is gone.Still… the echo of his presence remains.I exhale slowly, then look back down at Marcella.She’

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    TWO ENEMIES ABOUT TO BECOME ONE

    Across campus, outside the main building, Albert doesn’t stop walking.His steps are sharp, precise, controlled, but the tension in his body is anything but controlled.His jaw is still locked, and his fist still clenched.Students pass him, some greeting him cautiously, some stepping out of his way entirely.No one is stupid enough to stop him right now.Because there’s something in his expression that makes it very clear he's not in the mood…at all.He reaches his car.The sleek black Lamborghini sits under the sun, polished and untouchable… just like him.For a moment, he just stands there breathing…. once, twice.Then suddenly, his fist slams against the roof of the car.A sharp, controlled hit.Not loud enough to draw attention, but hard enough to release something.“Damn it.”The word slips out low, rough, filled with restrained fury.His hand drags through his hair as he exhales sharply.That image….Marcella in Lucas’ arms.Marcella looking at Lucas like that.Marcella… choosin

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    WHO ARE YOU, MARCELLA??

    The air between them is still warm from the embrace.Marcella’s fingers remain curled into Lucas’ shirt, like she’s afraid if she lets go, something will break again. Lucas doesn’t move either. His chin rests lightly against her hair, his breathing slowly evening out, but his mind… his mind is far from calm.Around them, the classroom is no longer silent.There are whispers, low murmurs, eyes watching and judging.And one pair of eyes in particular…burning.Albert Morrison is standing at the door.He had come back.No one notices at first, not properly. The attention in the room is locked on the couple in the center…..the emotional reunion, the confession, the drama.But Albert sees everything, every detail.The way Marcella clings to Lucas.The way Lucas holds her like she belongs to him.The way she looks at him… like he’s her whole world.Something dark flickers across Albert’s face.His jaw tightens slowly… dangerously.His hand curls into a fist at his side, knuckles whitenin

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    I'M SORRY

    ~LUCAS~I'm walking angrily back to the classroom, instead of attending my other lecture.By the time I reach the classroom door, I’m not thinking straight.My chest is tight.My jaw aches from how hard I’ve been clenching it.Coward.The word keeps echoing in my head.But it’s not just that.It’s her.It's Marcella at Xavier's house, putting herself in danger for me, and not telling me.I push the door open harder than necessary.It slams lightly against the stopper.A few heads turn, but I don’t care.My eyes find her instantly.She’s sitting there, exactly where I left her.But something is different.She looks… shaken.Like something already happened.My steps are heavy as I walk toward her….fat, purposeful, and dangerously controlled.“Marcella.”My voice cuts through the air.She looks up immediately, and the moment our eyes meet…she freezes.“Lucas…?”There’s hesitation in her voice, and that alone sets me off.“Stand up,” I tell her.Her brows knit s

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    BEING CALLED A COWARD

    ~LUCAS~The hallway is quieter than usual.Most students are either in class or heading out.I adjust my bag slightly on my shoulder, walking toward the lecture hall.Marcella’s voice is still in my head.‘I don’t trust him.’I exhale softly.“She worries too much,” I mutter under my breath.But even as I say it, something doesn’t feel right.I slow down slightly as the feeling grows.Like I’m being watched.Then…..“Lucas.”It's an unfamiliar voice.I stop, and my shoulders tense instantly.I turn slowly to see two unfamiliar faces staring at me.“Who are you??” I ask them.They smirk before walking closer to me.“Xavier sent us to pass a message across to you, bastard,” one of them say.The mention of Xavier's name makes my jaw tightens, and I wonder why he's not here by himself, and why he sent the two guys staring at me sternly.The other guy walks to the wall and leans casually against the wall like he has all the time in the world.“I was wondering when

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF AND LUCAS INTO???

    ~MARCELLA~The moment Lucas disappears through the door, the air changes.It’s subtle, but I feel it.Like something just… shifted.I don’t even realize I’m staring at the door until Stephanie nudges me again.“Relax,” she says lightly. “He’s not going to war, he’s going to a lecture.”“I know,” I murmur.But my chest still feels tight….too tight.Stephanie stretches. “I’m going to grab a drink. You want anything?”I shake my head. “No, I’ll just wait here.”“Suit yourself, lover girl,” she teases me.She grabs her bag and walks off, leaving me alone in the classroom.Alone.And the second I realize that, my stomach drops.Because I’m not really alone.A chair scrapes, slow and deliberate.I don’t need to look up to know who it is.My fingers curl slightly against the desk.“Marcella.”His voice is calm….too calm.I inhale slowly before lifting my gaze.Albert is standing right in front of me now, and he's close….too close.“Albert,” I say, keeping my voice ste

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    THIS ISN'T OVER

    ~LUCAS~I still remain frozen.I still don’t move.Not when she walks away.Not when her heels echo down the hallway like each step is carving something out of my chest.I just… stand there.Like an idiot.Like someone who just got hit by something he didn’t see coming—e

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    A MISUNDERSTANDING

    ~MARCELLA~The moment I say it, “Shall we?”I expect him to move.To play along.To follow the script.To keep everything neat, controlled, believable.But Lucas doesn’t move…not immediately.Instead… his grip on my hand tightens.Not subtly or gently, but tight enough to m

    ~LUCAS~Sleep refuses to come.I lie flat on my back on the narrow bed in my tiny apartment room, staring up at the ceiling that looks exactly the same as it did three hours ago.The same slow-moving ceiling fan rotating above my head.The same sunlight pushing through th

    ~LUCAS~I stare at the phone in my hand long after the call ends.My chest feels heavy.God.I feel like absolute garbage.I drop the phone on the bed and run both hands down my face.Why did I just talk to her like that?Marcella’s voice echoes in my head.Soft, bright an
