Ex's Sinful Possession 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 51 - 챕터 60

Lucien's POV I woke up before the first rays of the sun. My body felt heavy and stiff. For a moment, I forgot where I was but then, I felt the warmth beside me.Slowly I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was the faces of Cynthia and Aurora. Even in deep sleep, Cynthia looked alert and ready to defend while Aurora slept between us curling into a small ball, sleeping carefree. After staying alone for so many years, this morning felt like a dream to me, but last night was never part of my plan. I was drunk and went out of my own control after losing the deal. Cynthia has no idea what her little foolish step has cost me.A deep sigh passed my lips. I looked at my hand. It was just inches away from her skin. Her wrists were still bruised from the marks of the belt I tied around them. My heart clenched. The sound of Aurora's cries echoed in my head. I would have never stopped if it weren't for her cries. I was the boogeyman in her nightmares.I don't know what or how to feel abou

He threw me onto the bed and my body bounced against the mattress. My hair fell all over my face, strands stuck to my lips. I pushed them back slowly, to find him standing there, unbuttoning his shirt with a calm that shot up my pulse rate. Slowly, he climbed onto the bed without breaking eye contact. In seconds, he was hovering above me.“You like playing games a lot, right?” he murmured, a dangerous smirk tugging at his lips as his fingers wrapped around my wrists.Before I could react, he pinned them above my head.“Let’s play one then.”My eyes widened, searching his face, trying to read what storm was brewing behind those green depths. But he gave me nothing. I was so focused on his eyes that I didn't realise when he locked my wrists. I looked up to find that he had secured my wrists with the handcuffs. I tried to free my wrist but I couldn't. But they didn't hurt me like his belt. They were covered with soft fur. "I am not interested in any of your game" I spat "free my wrist

"Tomorrow is Gala night" Suddenly, the warmth of the moment vanished, replaced by coldness. One second my fingers were tracing the steady rhythm of his heart, the next I felt his entire body turn to stone. The air in the room suddenly felt thin and sharp."So?" His voice cracked the thick silence in the room. His eyes were now wide open, as he stared at the ceiling. My throat turned dry. The way his mood had snapped in a second, it didn't seem like a good idea to continue but I had no other option. "Can you take me there?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. I was expecting an answer from him but instead, he grabbed my shoulders and pushed me off so abruptly that I stumbled back. I quickly gained my balance and adjusted my dress. He sat up too. "NO!" He announced as if the word was the final decision. He didn't even think about it for a second. "Why?" I demanded, my own anger starting to flare. I was losing my patience. I curled my fingers to keep my temper in check. I can

Cynthia's POV As I walked to the centre of the hall, the music started and right at the cue, a man approached me. "Hello," he said in a calm and controlled voice. For a second, I stilled because I was expecting Lucien to come over to me. But when I glanced from the corner of my eye, he was still standing exactly where I had left him. Beside his soon-to-be fiancée with his father’s hand resting heavily on his shoulder like a leash. Huh! He may have grown up and won over many people but his father still has a lot of influence over him. He hasn't come out of his childhood trauma. “May I have the honor of dancing with this beautiful lady?” the man in front of me asked, extending his hand.I looked up properly this time and a slow smile spread across my lips.Marcus.Lucien’s biggest rival.What perfect timing.I could feel Lucien's burning gaze all over me but did that stop me? No! “Sure,” I said softly, slipping my hand into Marcus’s, knowing the consequences well.I know it was

I woke up with the chirping of the birds. Stretching my limbs, I sat up slowly and inhaled deeply. The sunlight penetrated through the curtains and for the first time, it felt good. Last night replayed in my head. Lucien's expressions were worth capturing. Today, I am feeling energetic and excited to meet him again. I walked to the bathroom and took a quick shower. After getting ready, I stepped out of the room only to find a maid standing at the door. My eyebrows knitted in confusion as I saw her from head to toe. She licked her lips and blinked her eyes as if she wanted to say something."What?" I asked. "Ma'am, can you just stay in your room?" One of my eyebrows lifted. Is she serious? "Why?" She swallowed hard. "I will bring your breakfast to the room" she offeredI folded my arms across my chest. There is something wrong. "I want to have my breakfast with my daughter on the breakfast table" I told her clearly. "She has already been fed" she told me. My eyes widened a
