Chapter 18

Author: Lightmoon
Marisol had no idea what Keane and Lucian discussed behind the closed doors of the study. By the time they came down, and once Elizabeth had gotten some rest, the family of five finally sat down for dinner together. Well, four of them, really. Julius still did not show.

At the long dining table, Keane and Elizabeth sat at the ends. Lucian and Andre were seated closer to Keane, while Marisol, unlike in the past, chose a seat near Elizabeth. Everyone's eyes drifted toward her. The change in seating did not go unnoticed.

Before Elizabeth could comment, Marisol placed some of Elizabeth's favorite dishes onto her plate with a warm smile. She said, "Elizabeth, I haven't been back much lately, so I thought I'd spend more time with you tonight."

Truthfully, she just did not want to sit next to Lucian. However, Elizabeth seemed pleased enough and did not press her to switch seats. Lucian frowned slightly but said nothing.

Dinner appeared calm, even warm on the surface. Each of them performe

    That night, Lucian received a phone call and left immediately without much explanation. He did not even bother to go back to his room. Later, it was Zayne who drove Marisol back to campus.For many days after that, Lucian didn't come looking for her, nor did she run into him on campus. Even Zayne had disappeared entirely. It was like they both vanished without a trace.At the time, Marisol mostly just felt relieved. She honestly hoped Lucian had something to keep him busy. After all, dealing with him took a lot of energy and willpower.Not having to face him was a blessing.Just like that, the days left in their contract relationship quietly ticked away. During that period, Marisol threw herself into her project work instead.Then, about a week before their contract ended, they made some headway on the project led by Nick. When everyone went out for a casual dinner to celebrate at the restaurant, they happened to bump into a few of Lucian's usual basketball buddies.They were lau

    Nick? What was wrong with Nick?Marisol felt confused. Ever since that incident in the men's locker room, she'd developed a fear and disgust toward Zayne, and now she felt even more bewildered.What kind of nonsense was this now?Nick was the project leader. As a junior, she still needed his professional guidance and oversight. Why on earth would she stay away from him? Did they want her to lose this job too?This was ridiculous."What do you want?" Marisol spoke coldly, with no desire for a lengthy conversation.Seeing her displeasure, Zayne didn't say much more. He handed her a paper bag. "Mr. Muller asked me to give you this. He'll pick you up tonight."After that, he left. Marisol was puzzled and casually opened the bag to look inside. Her face turned bright red.Inside was an almost transparent white gauze dress, adorned with tiny crystals. It was so sheer and delicate that it would barely cover anything when worn.That perverted bastard. Was there anything else in his br

    Still, Marisol captured that landscape in her camera and etched it into her memory. The car continued forward.The canyon was treacherous, its peaks disappearing into clouds. They drove through dense vegetation. Their path was lined with streams cascading down the mountainsides, and the sounds of them harmonized with the calls of birds and insects in the forest. It was nature's own symphony.Zachary glanced at Marisol as she filmed through the window. "Marisol, don't just film the scenery! Record my heroic moments too. When this is over, I'm going to print everything out and cover a whole wall!"This was his first great adventure! When people visited his house, he'd drag them over to show them the photos and tell them all about it. His dad would have to give him props!At first, Marisol ignored his chatter, letting him ramble on. But when he finally quieted down, she immediately turned and snapped several photos of him. The teenager immediately wailed in despair."Marisol, why did

    "Just a minute. I'll be right there." Marisol was drying her hair after her shower while calling back to Zachary.Seeing how urgently he was pushing, she hurried up. She put on the lightweight pink and black windbreaker she'd bought at the service station, quickly towel-dried her hair, and went to open the door."Let's go."The teenager at the door froze when he saw her. "Why is your hair wet?""It's fine. Let's go shopping first.""No way. It's still raining, you just got over a fever, and the roads into Maros are going to be way harder than what we've done so far. If you catch a cold and get sick again, we'll be screwed."Under Zachary's insistence, Marisol went back into her room to blow-dry her hair completely before bundling up and heading out.Following their research and paid consultations with experienced road trippers, they'd already compiled a comprehensive list of gear for entering Maros. They headed straight to the largest outdoor sports center in town.They needed

    Marisol instinctively stepped back, only to bump into Zayne's broad chest.She quickly tried to move away, but there was nowhere to go. Lucian leaned down and captured her parted lips, invading with the force of a sudden storm.Behind her was a stranger's chest and breath. She could feel his steady heartbeat on her back. He refused to move even an inch. In front was her "boyfriend", claiming his territory with unnamed fury.Something snapped in Marisol's mind. She felt nothing but humiliation. She pushed Lucian away and swung her hand with all her rage, but it stopped mid-air.Zayne caught her wrist firmly, using just enough force to completely immobilize her. Before she could raise her other hand, it too was restrained. She was trapped in the teenager's arms.Lucian smiled. His eyes were full of mockery. "Like I said, he's just a dog. Of course, he only listens to his master."And he would turn against anything that threatened to harm his master, no matter who it was. Concepts l

    That pervert!Marisol's pupils shrank in shock beneath the tie. Just as she started to struggle, she was pinned against the locker. Her back slammed hard into the metal wall with a loud bang.The cry of pain that almost escaped was silenced by scorching lips.Lucian's lips were unyielding. He bit her lips. His lips were not as cold as they appeared, but scorching hot and forceful. It was as if he wanted to devour her completely.Marisol endured it passively. Her shirt was pushed up, and rough hands roamed beneath the fabric, pressing and kneading her skin. He was stirring emotions she couldn't suppress as her breathing quickened.When she felt his hands moving lower, Marisol snapped back to awareness and began struggling violently. The tie over her eyes fell away, and she froze in shock.Behind Lucian, who was kissing and biting her, stood another teenager. He was expressionless and cold as ice. She had no idea how long he'd been watching.Someone was there!Marisol's mind went
