บททั้งหมดของ Claimed By My Ex-Boyfriend's Dad : บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Lana's POV The ride back home was quiet. I saw blue on a call, pacing back and forth in the living room, something serious had happened. God knew I couldn't take one more bad news. It was enough already! I mean… Can I just have a day out of all this? I sighed again, for like the millionth time that day since my encounter with Michael, as I sat at the table waiting for her to finish her call. Sometimes she'd look at me and a small line would form between her brows. I didn't know if it was out of worry, or confusion I just tried to act calm, but I knew I was damn terrible at that. I'm the last person on earth who would notice an issue was up and act calm. Anyone who looked at me even from a mile away would see it clearly from my face that I had something on my plate to deal with. And I guess right now I couldn't control the look of fear written bodily on my face. “That won't be a problem. Thank you, Mr. Carlson” she ended the call. “What's the matter now? You sounded se

Lana's POV The little caresses never ended till we reached our destination.I was thinking it might be a date or a small house party with a few other billionaires here and there, but the scenario I saw took the words out of my mouth.“Listen very carefully to this….” He said, still sitting with the coolest undisturbed face anyone could ever have.Then he adjusted his tie. “Never leave my side no matter what!” His voice got deeper.“There are people here. A lot of eyes and paparazzi in there. No one expects I'd show up, so you must play calm. Don't make me look like I've lost my control”. He paused, still looking straight. “Is that clear!”My attention had shifted from the beauty that was before to the way and manner in which this man spoke to me.He had never talked in such a condescending tone to me before. As if I were one of his employees, he could throw oorders to.The grip on my clutch tightened so hard that my knuckles almost turned white. It felt like the little caresses ear

Lana's POV "Adrian, the cameras..." I whispered, wanting to move a little away from him. I could hear the little tremble in my voice as the shutters continued to click. "You remember what you told me. You said…." "I said many things, Lana," Adrian interrupted, his voice still very smooth, with a low rumble that didn't match the predatory look in his eyes. He didn't bother to look at the photographers or even the people who had stopped their brief conversation. He was still staring at his son with a look of satisfaction in his eyes. "But plans changed when someone tried to piss me off. Forgetting I could destroy him with the tip of my fingers." He didn't wait for me to recover before he gripped my hand with his hot and calloused palm and led me toward the upper deck of the yacht. As we moved, the music from the lounge began to fade, replaced by the heavy thrum of the engine and the rhythmic slap of the dark waves against the hull. "Adrian, wait!" Michael’s voic

Adrian hadn't touched me since he’d dropped me into the leather seat. He quietly sat on the opposite side, with shadows of the passing streetlights moving over his sharp features. He was back to being the "Devil" He was back to being that composed and terrifying, and utterly unreachable man. But I didn't care. He could go silent for the whole day. He shouldn't feel like I'd forgotten about the way he'd spoken to me earlier this evening. What was the point?..... I could as well go silent on him. Because of him, my face is out there on the news again. Possibly being criticized by millions of writers and viewers. Immediately I used his discarded jacket and wrapped it tightly around my shoulders. I needed it. I'd been out in the cold for long. But it smelled like him. Making it harder makes it harder for me to still be mad at him. "You're quiet," Adrian's voice swept through the quiet car. He didn't turn his head as he spoke. He kept staring out of the window like I wa

Lana's POV I hurriedly opened blue's message.I couldn't wait to tell her everything.That everything was a lie and all a plan.That he knew I'd sign that contract with him.Tears dropped down my eyes as I typed. Few minutes after I sent the message, my phone vibrated.Her call came in.“Lana, Lana calm down and explain to me what happened…. What truly happened”.“Blue I'm so stupid. I don't even know where to start from. I'm so stupid blue.” Fresh sobs fell out my mouth. “Then start talking. Tell me everything” she breathed out. “You don't have to remind me how stupid you are”.I laughed.I didn't if I was being insulted but I didn't know there was no lie in what she said.So I told her everything from the beginning. From the party down to the library and everything I found in it.And for the first time, Lana was quiet.Guess she couldn't believe it. Just like me. “So ... .so wh…wha…t are you going to do”.“I have no idea, truly,” I breathed out, the cold from the floor was grad
