Chapter 41 Asher Jones POV… I have tried everything possible but no one was willing to help my dad. I can’t let my dad go to jail. He is too old to withstand all the suffering in jail. But all my efforts have hit rock-bottom and I don’t know who to turn to anymore. What shocked me even more was that those bastards actually had the guts to announce Lenox! They were clearly distancing themselves from my family. I was busy calling them, and no one was picking up because they were hard organizing for the press conference! Hah, they really know how to get themselves out of trouble, don’t they! But still there is something that does not make sense. I remember dad telling me in the past that the Hart pack is no longer a threat to us and when I asked why, he refused to answer. It was only after he heard that there was someone from the Hart family who wanted to take over city N, did he divulge the truth to me. I was shocked that such an operation had been carried out and no one from my fa

Chapter 43 Lucien POV… Today will be my first appearance in front of the media and the whole city ever since I came back. At first, I did not plan on making a public appearance until I resumed office, but with other families' interference and nominating Lenox to contest against me, I guess that I have no other choice. "Darling, is everything ready?" Camilla's worried voice came through the door to the study room and I smiled lightly. I was finalizing my speech and I could tell that she was worried even more than the mayor himself. "Yes honey, it is almost done," I said. "What about the venue? Security? Do you need any help?" "No honey, I have taken care of everything!" "Okay. I will not disturb you any longer. I will go and make breakfast." "Okay honey go ahead." … At exactly nine o'clock, I was at the Congress Hall of pearl Hotel. The room was filled to the brim with reporters and some important figures in the city. Everything seemed perfect as I made my way to the podium

Chapter 45 Lucien POV… After preparing the water, I placed her in the bathtub gently and started unbuttoning my shirt. "What are you doing?" "I am removing my clothes," I said, as a matter of fact. "But I thought that you were bringing me to take shower." "Yes. We are showering together." I did not stop my hands as they continued to undo one button at a time. "Didn’t you want to look if I was hurt anywhere back at the hotel, well I am giving you a chance to take a closer look." Her eyes flashed with embarrassment and she turned her head to the other side, but soon she turned to look at me again. Her cheeks were flushed red and it was tempting me to take a bite. I don't know if it was due to heat coming from the shower, but her body was making my throat run dry. She was still wearing her clothes and now that they were wet, they helped actuate her curvy figure and I could not help but swallow a lump of saliva down my throat. "What are you looking at?" She asked, her voice f

Chapter 47 Camilla POV… We arrived at the airport just in time when my sister called and said they have landed. "Sis, where are you? We have already landed!" Her excited voice came over the phone, making me to subconsciously smile. My sister has always been bubbly and I guess that even after so many years overseas, she hasn't changed one bit. "We are in the parking lot. I guess it is not far from where you are." I told her. "You are with brother-in-law?" "Yes." "Hehe sis, I will come over right away. I cannot wait to see you." "Just take your time. Don't run around and knock into people, we are waiting for you." I said over the phone. She might even forget that she is in a crowd and start shoving people everywhere. … After ten minutes… I had already alighted from the car and was standing outside. I saw a tall girl drag a pink suitcase walking towards us. She had short hair and she was wearing a body hugging tank top and black tight. She had on high, black knee length

Chapter 49 Camilla's POV… I sat in the helicopter, looking in the far away distance. It's like I could see Lucien calling out my name and reaching out his bloody hands asking me to save him. I was stunned and immediately closed my eyes, but that was even worse because now the images became even clearer with my eyes closed. Lucien please, be safe. Don't let anything happen to you or I will never forgive myself. I should have gone with you. I should have spent most of my time with you! Please moon goddess, if you know how much Lucien means to me, please keep him safe for me. "Miss, what are you thinking about? You have been zoning out ever since we bordered the plane?" The person sitting next to me asked. I was in disguise since my photo was released online, so no one recognized me. "It is nothing. I am just wondering at what time we will land and if we will be able to rescue everyone." I said, making sure to not appear or sound sad. I don't know how many people on this plane
