All Chapters of Her Price, His Obssession (Erotic billionaire/ dark Romance): Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Lucian descended the stairs. The house was completely silent, no sound of Bella’s quick footsteps chasing after him. It was Saturday; he wasn’t heading to the office, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t work from home.For a brief second, he regretted letting her leave.“Lucian,” Margaret said, “Bella prepared food for you before she left for camp. She asked that you eat it.”Lucian glanced at the food on the dining table and walked over. He rarely ate breakfast…not because there was none, but simply because he didn’t want to.He sat down and looked at the plates. The food was still hot.“What time did she leave?” He asked. “The food is still very warm. Are you lying for her, saying she prepared it when it was actually you?”“I only microwaved it. I would never lie to you,” she replied.“And yet you chose to gossip. Who gave you the right to speak about me to a stranger?Whatever you want to say about me should be said to me.” His tone was firm but gentle because he could never bring hims

Bella thought this was the end.She regretted coming to the camp. What was meant to be a break had turned into the worst days of her life far too quickly.The noise of screaming students still filled the air.“Someone please save Bella! Don’t just stand there!” Clara cried, panicking. The drug’s effect was already fading the moment she saw Bella disappear beneath the water. “She’s going to die!”She looked around desperately at the boys who looked strong and capable, but none of them moved. Some were frozen in fear. Others glanced at Catherine…who silenced them with a single sharp glare.Then there was another splash.A body cut through the water.Moments later, a man emerged, carrying Bella in his arms.He laid her gently on the ground, pressed down on her chest, then sealed his lips over hers, forcing air into her lungs.“Come on, Bella. Wake up,” he urged.Again, he breathed into her mouth, rubbing her palm between his hands.Suddenly, Bella coughed, water spilling from her lips.C

They arrived in Paris at night. By the time the flight landed and they stepped off the plane, the city was already glowing. Waiting to welcome them were Adrian and his fiancée. “Congratulations in advance,” Bella said warmly. The woman smiled brightly. “Is that Lucian’s daughter? May I hold her?” Bella nodded and handed Zara over. The baby giggled, instantly comfortable in her arms. Lucian walked up to them. He didn’t congratulate his friend. He barely acknowledged them at all, simply looking away. “Hello, Mr. Rodriguez. I’m Maria—Adrian’s fiancée,” she said politely. “Let’s go.” He looked at Bella She hesitated, then gave Maria an apologetic look before taking Zara back and following Lucian to the car. Adrian pulled Maria into a hug. “ I told you not to speak to him, you’ll only end up disappointed.” “I thought he’d call a truce,” Maria said softly. “It’s our wedding in two days.” Adrian laughed lightly. “Don’t worry. Lucian has a lot of healing to do. I’m more c

Bella drew in a slow, shaky breath, her body tense with anticipation as she waited for him to push inside her. The blunt pressure at her entrance built steadily…he was taking his time, letting her feel every tease of his cock.A loud, sudden bang on the door tore through the moment.Lucian let out a low, irritated breath through his nose but didn’t pull away. His hands stayed firm on her hips.“They’ll leave,” he muttered, voice rough, already nudging forward again as if the interruption hadn’t happened.Bella’s palms pushed against his chest, stalling him. “Wait, what if it’s Zara?”“She’s a baby. She can't knock.” He tightened his grip on her thighs, spreading them.“Please.” Her voice came out softer than she meant it to. “Just one minute. Let me check.”For a second he didn’t move, jaw tight, clearly weighing whether to ignore the plea. Then, with a quiet curse under his breath, he eased back and rolled off her.Bella scrambled up, heart still hammering from the close penetration.

Lucian sat on his bed, staring at the clock impatiently. It was three minutes past ten, and he was waiting for Bella to knock on the door.He was boiling inside, his mind flooded with images of what she might be doing. Visions of Bella moaning in another man’s arms consumed him. He felt as though he had lost all control. Panic tightened his chest. Memories of his mother with another man, whispering “I love you” to him, flashed through his mind…then twisted into Bella murmuring the same words to someone else.He needed to see Bella back right now for his sanity sake.He glanced at the clock again. It was six minutes past ten , and she wasn’t back.********Bella didn’t care what Lucian would do. Earlier, she had washed his mess off her face and relaxed properly at the spa with Maria.The air was calm and peaceful.“Adrian is such a sweetheart,” Maria said as she finished their conversation, just as the cab came to a stop in front of the hotel.Bella smiled. “Yes, he is,” she replied,
