Today marks it a week since I last saw Lucian after he had angrily stormed out of the room when he found Nathan was his son. I have asked Drake and Kayla countless times about his whereabouts, but their response remains the same."I have no idea where the don has gone, Ava!" Kayla says, helping me comb my hair, as she watch me through the mirror.Despite their consistent denial, I can't shake the feeling that they're hiding something from me."Do you think he's avoiding me because of what happened?" I ask, studying Kayla's reaction in the mirror.She hesitates before responding, choosing her words carefully."I can't say for certain. Only you truly know Lucian well enough to predict his actions," Kayla replies.I sigh, realising that the Lucian I once knew, the man I thought I understood, is no longer the same. Seven years have changed him, and now I find myself unable to anticipate his next move.“Kayla!" I called out, my voice filled with urgency.She raised her head, looking at me

🥵AUTHOR POV🥵“Hands off, bitch! He is taken!." she yelled, her voice filled with a mix of anger and possessiveness. With a swift motion, she pulled the girl off lucian.Lucian's eyes widened in shock, his heart pounding in his chest as he took in her intense gaze. His eyes involuntarily trailed down her figure, starting from her piercing eyes, down to her toned leg, before finally meeting her gaze again. His sharp jaw clenched tightly, his expression revealing a hint of anger as his eyes darkened."Hello, Lucas!" Ava greeted cheerfully, her smile brightening the room as she gracefully took a seat beside Lucian.“How you doing? Mama!”. Lucas, unable to resist his flirtatious nature, licked his lips suggestively, his gaze lingering on Ava. The action caused Lucian's blood to boil, his eyes shooting daggers at Lucas, silently warning him to back off.Feeling the need to assert his claim, Lucian instinctively pulled Ava closer to his side, his grip firm yet protective.“Next time you sta

“Love, wake up, come on!" Lucian whispered urgently, gently shaking Ava as she turned to the other side, slipping back into sleep."Come on, love, I thought you wanted to see Nathan today!" Lucian smirked, using a playful trick to coax her awake.Ava hummed and slowly opened her eyes, still half-asleep."Yes," she whispered, her voice filled with drowsiness."I'm going out for some work with Drake. I will be back in an hour. Get ready before then, okay, love?.” Lucian asked, planting a soft kiss on her lips.She nodded, yawning and stretching her tired body.Lucian kissed her once more before heading into the bathroom, quickly taking a refreshing shower. He emerged, towel wrapped around his waist, and swiftly dressed in his favourite pair of jeans and a casual shirt. Grabbing his keys, he headed downstairs."Don!" Drake called out, seemingly appearing out of thin air."What did you find?" Lucian asked, slipping on his shirt."According to the information I have gathered, I am not quit

Ava collapsed onto her bed, her body drained of all energy. Lucas had pushed her to her limits during their intense training session. Every muscle in her hands throbbed with pain, a constant reminder of the gruelling workout.Desperate for some respite, Ava reached for her phone and dialled Lucian's number. She had hoped to hear his soothing voice, a source of comfort after such a demanding day. But to her dismay, the call went straight to voicemail. Frustration welled up inside her, and she muttered a curse under her breath.“Motherfucker!”. She murmured.Ava rose from her bed and made her way to the bathroom. The cool tiles beneath her feet provided a brief moment of relief as she stood in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection, she turned on the shower as she stepped under it.As the water cascaded over her, washing away the sweat from her body, Lucian's words echoed in her mind. "I thought you were always on pills?" Confusion washed over her as she pondered why he would a

“What do you think you're doing, love?" Lucian's voice rumbled with a mix of anger and desire as he stood in the doorway. After a long flight back to Paris, he wasted no time in driving home, his mind consumed with thoughts of being with Ava again. The reckless speed at which he manoeuvred through traffic almost resulted in an accident, his impatience to see her evident.Ava, still catching her breath from the intense orgasm she had just experienced, murmured in awe, "Wow, that was really fast!" Her voice carried a hint of satisfaction, her body still tingling from the pleasure she had just given herself.But Lucian's anger overshadowed any pleasure he might have felt. His eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched, as he repeated his question with a forceful growl."l asked you a fucking question, Ava. What do you think you're doing? Touching yourself in my absence? For forty fucking minutes! You almost drove me mad!"Ava, unphased by his anger, smirked mischievously as she got off the bed to r
