Chapter Four Rose’s POV My breath stilled and everything else around me seemed to have vanished. Fuck. Shit. He walked further into the room, and my heart raced even faster. The storm raging on outside worsened and thunder rumbled in the sky, almost mirroring what seemed to be running through Lucian’s body at the moment. I dropped the cucumber and started to move back on the bed. Fear spasmed through me like never before. “Mario didn’t tell you that pleasuring yourself is against the rules?” He asked and I shook my head precariously. “No.” I managed to shake my head and that seemed to provoke him even further. He didn’t climb the bed. No. He stood over at the other side of the bed, his stare heavy on me. And that was way worse than him coming to the bed. Cold sweat broke out on my face and my body lit up with an emotion that I couldn’t place my hands on. “Strip.” He said, and my body went still. “What?” I asked, coughing after that. His eyes glanced me ov
Chapter Three Rose’s POV For some reasons, his face seemed familiar. I could have sworn that I’ve seen that face somewhere before. Maybe he walked past me, or he happened to come to the cafe where I work part time. Either ways, that shouldn’t be the problem. All I want is his money. Or maybe I should have thought twice about that. Because the moment I walked into the mansion, I almost ran back outside. It was so big that it could swallow me up, and it looked just like paradise. Standing in its middle, it took me back to the pictures of paradise that my mother used to show me while I was growing up in order to tell me how beautiful heaven was. “You’ll stay indoors for everyday except for on Sundays when you’ll be allowed to go home for few hours.” The husky voice behind me dragged me out of reverie and I swiveled around to see the man from earlier. Fuck, how haven’t I noticed how hot he is? I was way too occupied with getting the job that I hadn’t even noticed how
Chapter Two Rose’s POV “Mom, please no.“ I cried, cradling her more to my chest. Her frail body stayed in mine, dangling as though she couldn’t sit up on her own anymore. Tears pooled down from my eyes like rainfall. Her eyes cracked open and my sobs dwindled down a bit. She’s awake again. “Rose, I’ll be watching over you from above. Just be the good girl I’ve always known you to be.” She said, her voice so low that I could barely even hear her. “You’ll watch over me from here, and you’ll watch me be your good girl by yourself.” I said, dragging her up on my body. “I don’t—” she coughed, “I don’t think so at this point.” I dragged my phone over to me and shakily dialed the emergency number. They answered the call almost immediately and I asked for help. “Mom, help is coming. Just hold on for me, please.” Her eyes only started to close when the ambulance came here. She was lifted into the bus and treatment commenced immediately. I started to pray to any person
Chapter One Lucian’s POV The strong stench of stale blood mixed with metal entered my nostrils as I stepped into the dungeon, the place that has harbored more death than hospitals. The strong stench of blood and chlorine greeted me as I walked into the last room. There he was, all tied up and ready for me. A small smile played on my lips as I saw his eyes widen. Well, he mightn't have expected me to be the one who'll come over to deal with him. Well, I was kind of bored. And I just thought I'd make my appearance known to some of my men who turned against me and started spying on me for my enemies. “Sir… sir please. I promise, I didn't want to do it, he threatened to kill my children if I didn't do his bidding.” Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead as he stuttered. “Really? Like you care about the children, you'll end up with them when you get to hell because I'm not sparing any of them either.” I shrugged, walking over to the table at a corner in the room. I picked up
THE REFUSALI didn't sleep that night.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Lucas's face. The way he'd stared at Jace. The calculation in his eyes.By morning, I'd convinced myself that Damian's proposal was ridiculous and I needed to turn him down immediately.I called him.He answered on the secon

THE REVEALThe ballroom fell silent.Dr. Kim's voice cut through the chaos like a gunshot. "Everyone, step back!
