Fifty One

Julia’s POV“Let's go.” My name still echoed faintly in my head, like a curse I couldn’t erase. Sold to Lucian Moretti, the second time. The words had crawled under my skin, burnt themselves into my bones. My stomach tightened, he managed to do what I had wanted.Not fully.The room was loud, but my heartbeat was louder. Lucian didn’t say a word when he walked up to me—his cold gaze fixed on me like I was a product he just purchased. He gave a brief nod to the Godfather, the man who controlled this whole sick empire of bodies and secrets.Lucian’s fingers brushed my arm briefly. Not gently. Not roughly. Just… deliberately. I shivered, not from fear—but from the reminder that he owned me now. Completely.But I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of seeing me crumble. I forced my chin up, even though my knees felt like glass about to shatter. “I—I’d like to take my things,” I said quietly, my voice trembling in the thick silence that followed.Lucian’s gaze shifted slightly, as i

NOT EDITEDThe rest of the ride remained silent with lucain beside me. I didn’t know if i should be happy or scared. But from now, i felt this was the best thing. My cut although was still opened and lucian still locked as serious as he was. The part of him i wasn’t used to.I didn’t get to tell princess i was leaving, neither did i inform her, he bought me the second time. I wondered when we get back to the villa what would he do to me.My heart raced, as i turned slowly to steal a glance of him. He was looking into his phone, a frown line between his brows, theat seriousness i wasn’t used to. It was like sitting to a different person.“Don,”Andrew whispered, as we stopped at the entrance in front of the mansion. It looked a new in my eyes, to the fact i had been away for four days. As usual lucian’s maids and men or should i say guards, stood outside waiting to receive his presence. A girl i had never seen, rushed out with a smirk on her face, her uniform was pretty different from

The remainder of the journey was quiet, with Lucain sitting next to me. I was unsure whether to feel happy or scared. From this moment on, I felt this was the best thing. My cut was still open, and Lucian remained as serious as ever. The side of him that was unfamiliar to me.I didn’t get to tell the princess I was leaving, nor did I inform her that he bought me the second time. I thought about what he might do to me when we returned to the villa.My heart raced as I turned slowly to catch a glimpse of him. He was staring at his phone, a frown creasing his forehead, a seriousness that felt unfamiliar to me. It felt as if I were facing someone entirely different.“Don,”Andrew whispered as we paused at the entrance of the mansion. It appeared new to me, considering I had been away for four days. Lucian's maids and men, or perhaps I should say guards, stood outside, ready to welcome him. A girl I had never seen before rushed out with a smirk on her face, and her uniform looked quite dif

This was the first time he had taken me here, but I felt completely at ease in that moment. My thoughts drifted back to Maria in the cell, her face lingering in my mind. Her frail body. Those eyes. She appeared to be pleading for her life, even without uttering a single word, and it all stemmed from my actions.Lucian strolled by me, made his way to his office chair, and took a seat. A look of seriousness etched across the face. Even though the room appeared well-ventilated, his presence made it feel crowded, although it wasn't. He certainly has good taste; the interiors were impressive. The shelves on the wall matched perfectly, complemented by the large chandelier that hung in the center of the ceiling.He took out a stack of paperwork and began to sift through it, one by one. He never lifted his head to glance at me or anything other than the papers laid out before him.I stood there for what felt like ages, and I started to think that hours had gone by; my legs began to ache. I di

Lucian's POVA wave of satisfaction flowed through me after successfully bringing her back from that life. She remained the same, even though I had thought she might change, at least for a little while.“Go get me a cup of coffee?” I saw her face contorted in a charming frown. There was something I had missed, even though she had only been gone for four days. She stood there, her eyes locked onto mine, her mouth slightly twitching. I found it amusing that, no matter how angry she might get, she would ultimately have to give in, and this is just the start.“But…” She hesitated, her eyes piercing and intense.“But what?” She shrugged her shoulders as she searched for the right words. Julia let out a sigh, having accepted the small fate I had given her. But that doesn’t mean I won’t keep an eye on her. She was stubborn, but not just stubborn; she was a real challenge, and I found myself wanting to conquer her even more.The Jules I had been searching for in her, the Jules I believed wo

Julia's POVI grasped the steaming mug in my hands, gazing down the hallway. If this were Lucian's way of thinking, he would make my life miserable, but it wasn't. The maids nearby kept chatting about me. I managed to capture their attention effortlessly.“Whore…” one of them whispered, believing I would miss her words. But I heard her loud and clear and thought she wasn’t talking about me.“Are you Julia?”I turned around to see a brunette standing behind me. She smiled with a hint of nervousness and gently took the cup from my hand.“What are you up to? It’s for the master…” I whispered the last word; it felt like a burden in my mouth. The girl remained silent. She appeared weary, her face showing signs of bruising. Is she alright?“I was told to collect this from you.”“By who?” I asked, gripping the cup of coffee that she was holding. Initially, she shot me a glare, but then it was quickly replaced by another smile, almost like a mask. Her smile didn't seem real; it felt like she
