All Chapters of Sold to the cold hearted tycoon : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Chapter 22I was so hungry.After pacing around my room for a while, I finally gathered enough courage to go and tell Luca. But the moment I reached his office and saw the look on his face, my courage disappeared.His cold eyes landed on me, making my stomach twist with fear.I immediately turned around and hurried back to my room without saying a word.One hour later.A knock sounded on my door.Frowning, I walked over and opened it.The moment the door swung open, I froze.Luca.I was face-to-chest with him.Slowly, I lifted my head and met his dark stare. He looked down at me with a threatening expression that made my heart skip a beat.Without saying a word, he stepped inside.The door clicked shut behind him.My breath caught in my throat.As he moved closer, the scent of alcohol reached me.Oh no.I am frightened My stomach flutters in panic like thousand of gummies LLuca? Touch yourself A shiver run through my body as his eyes gawk into mine darkly. Ruthless and cold Oh Go

CHAPTER 24Things started getting easier after that.Not perfect.Definitely not normal.But easier.I wasn't waking up every morning wondering what I'd done wrong or whether Luca was going to be angry about something.I had learned the rules.More importantly, I had learned when to keep quiet.If Luca was working, I left him alone.If I wanted something, I asked.If I wanted to go somewhere, I told someone first.And if Luca said no, I didn't argue.It wasn't always easy, but I was getting better at it.Lily had also become someone I could actually talk to.She wasn't just the maid who brought me food anymore.She was my friend.Sometimes we'd sit together and talk about random things.Other times, we'd just be in the same room doing our own thing.I liked having someone around who didn't make me feel like I had to watch every word I said.Damien came around often too.Whenever he showed up, the whole atmosphere changed.He talked too much.Laughed too loudly.And somehow always mana

CHAPTER 26The next few days were quiet.Nothing major happened, and honestly, I was grateful for that.After everything with my mother's treatment, I just wanted things to stay calm for a while.I spent most of my time around the mansion.Lily was usually with me, and whenever Damien came around, he somehow found a way to make me laugh.Luca, as usual, stayed mostly to himself.He was either working, on his phone, or somewhere in the mansion where I rarely saw him.I had also been doing my best to stay out of trouble.No wandering into places I wasn't supposed to be.No touching things that didn't belong to me.No unnecessary questions.I was learning.Or at least I hoped I was.That afternoon, I was sitting in the sitting room with Lily when we heard someone arrive.Lily looked toward the entrance."Are we expecting someone?""I don't know."A few moments later, Victoria walked in.I recognized her immediately.She looked exactly the way I remembered her from the event.Confident.B

CHAPTER 28I woke up feeling awful.For a few seconds, I just lay there staring at the ceiling.Maybe if I stayed still long enough, the feeling would disappear.It didn't.My head felt heavy.My entire body ached.Even lifting my arm felt like work.I slowly pushed myself up.Bad idea.The room spun immediately.I grabbed the edge of the bed and shut my eyes."What the..."I waited for the dizziness to pass.When it finally did, I let out a breath.Maybe I was just tired.That had to be it.I'd probably feel fine after breakfast.I forced myself out of bed and took two steps.My knees nearly gave out beneath me.I quickly sat back down.Okay.Maybe not.A knock sounded on the door.Before I could answer, it opened.Lily stepped inside.The smile on her face disappeared instantly."Avery?"I looked up."Morning.""You look horrible.""Thank you.""I'm serious."I laughed weakly.Even that felt exhausting.Lily hurried over.The moment she touched my forehead, she frowned."Oh.""What?

CHAPTER 30 Things had changed. Not in the way I expected. The mansion didn't feel as frightening as it did when I first arrived. At first, every sound made me nervous. Every time I heard footsteps outside my room, I wondered if Luca was coming. Whenever someone called my name, I immediately started thinking about what I had done wrong. I had been careful about everything. What I said. Where I went. Who I talked to. Even how long I stayed downstairs. But now, things were different. Not completely different. Just... easier. I still knew the rules. I still knew I couldn't just walk out of the mansion whenever I wanted. I still had to tell the staff where I was going. And when Luca told me to do something, I knew better than to argue with him. That part hadn't changed. Lily had become my closest friend in the mansion. I couldn't imagine the place without her anymore. She was always around when I needed someone to talk to. Sometimes we talked ab
