CHAPTER 50

Lucian’s POV Aaron was already standing at the door before I finished speaking. “I’m coming with you.” “No.” It was immediate. Flat. No space in it. He turned. “What do you mean no?” I looked at him properly. “You’re injured.” “I can still fight.” “I didn’t ask.” Silence dropped for a second. Aaron stepped closer. “You don’t get to decide that for me.” “Yes I do.” His jaw tightened. “You think I’m weak?” “No, you are not weak, but you are still not coming.” I said it quietly. “You can’t stop me.” “You think so?” He hated how easily I read him. Worse, he didn’t know I already knew why. He liked me. He just didn’t know I knew. Silence again. He reached for his weapon. “I’m not taking orders from you like I’m—” I grabbed his wrist mid-motion. Enough to stop him from talking. His breath shifted slightly. “You will listen once,” I said. “You don’t follow me. You don’t come near that place. If you step out that door behind me, I will bring you back myself

CHAPTER 51

Lucian’s POVThat was the first thing I noticed when we got back. No celebration. Just quiet movement. Men handling what was left of the damage, cleaning wounds, dragging equipment, stepping over blood like it meant nothing. Like this was normal. Like it was just another day.Behind me, the front door shut harder than it needed to.Aaron.I didn’t turn immediately.“Say it,” I said.Silence for half a second.Then—“You left me.”I turned slowly.He was already looking at me, jaw tight, eyes sharp in a way that had nothing to do with the injury anymore. This wasn’t about the mission. This was personal.“I told you to stay,” I replied.“That wasn’t an answer.”“It was an order.”That did it. Something in his expression snapped, clean and visible.“I’m not one of your men,” he said, stepping closer. “You don’t get to just decide when I’m useful and when I’m not.”“You were injured.”“I could still fight.”“I didn’t need you to.”The words landed exactly how I intended. And he felt it.Hi

CHAPTER 52

Vera’s POV I didn’t go back to my room. My hand still stung from the slap, but it wasn’t what hurt. What hurt was the way he looked at me after. Like I had just reminded him I was real, not just someone moving inside his rules. I walked until my legs slowed down on their own, The estate is quieter now. Behind me, I heard footsteps. I didn’t turn. “I knew you wouldn’t stay in your room,” Kael’s voice came. Of course it was him. I finally stopped walking, but I didn’t face him. “You followed me,” I said. “I’m not letting you walk off like that.” I let out a small laugh, but there was no humor in it. “So now you care where I go?” Silence. That silence alone annoyed me more than anything. I turned slowly. He was standing a few steps behind me. Hands in his pockets. Blood still faintly visible on his shirt. Like he didn’t even notice it. “You didn’t have to do that in front of everyone,” he said. “Oh,” I nodded slightly. “So that’s the issue. Not what you did. Just how I

CHAPTER 53

Vera’s POV The moment it registered—what she was doing—Vera shoved him. Not hard enough to hurt him. Just enough to break it. Her breath came out uneven as she stepped back, eyes wide for a split second before she masked it. “No,” she muttered under her breath, more to herself than to him. Kael didn’t move. Didn’t try to grab her again. She turned immediately and walked fast—too fast to be casual, not quite running but close enough—and didn’t stop. Not until she was far enough. Not until she couldn’t feel him behind her anymore. Her hand came up to her mouth without thinking. She froze. Then dropped it immediately like it burned. “Get yourself together,” she muttered, pushing a hand through her hair. “Seriously, what the hell was that…” Her heart was still racing like she’d just fought someone. Maybe she had. Just not in the usual way. She exhaled sharply and looked around, realizing she had no idea where she had walked into. A door stood slightly open. Quiet. Dim.

CHAPTER 54

Kael’s POV She ran. I let her. Not because I couldn’t stop her. Because if I touched her again, I wouldn’t stop at that. I stood there a second longer than I should have, jaw tight, breathing steady. The taste of her was still there. Annoying. Distracting. Unfinished. “Staring at nothing won’t fix it.” Lucian. I didn’t turn immediately. “I’m not fixing anything.” “Clearly.” I looked at him then. He was leaning against the wall like he’d been there the whole time, watching, saying nothing when it mattered. “You always watch first,” I said. “Then talk.” “You always act first,” he replied. “Then talk". I almost smiled. Almost. Silence stretched for a second. Then he glanced past me, toward the direction Vera ran. “You handled that… badly.” “That’s your opinion.” “It’s the correct one.” I held his gaze. “Say what you came to say.” He pushed off the wall slowly. “You didn’t have to corner her like that.” “And you didn’t have to leave Aaron behind.” There it was. A flic

CHAPTER 55

Vera's POV Vera stood near the window, arms folded, staring out at the compound. Guards everywhere. “Yeah,” Aaron’s voice came from behind her, lazy but sharp underneath, “I counted twelve just from here.” She didn’t turn. “There were six earlier.” “Exactly.” She exhaled slowly. “So we’re officially prisoners now.” “Soft version,” he said. “With better furniture.” That pulled a small breath out of her. Not quite a laugh. She turned, leaning her shoulder against the wall. “You tried leaving?” He tilted his head slightly. “I looked like I was going to try leaving.” “And?” “They stopped me before I even got close to the gate.” She raised a brow. “Stopped you how?” Aaron sat up a little straighter, mimicking the guard’s tone. “Sir, with all due respect, you’re not permitted beyond this point.” She folded her arms tighter. “And you listened?” He gave her a look. “Do I look like I listened?” That almost made her smile. “What did you do?” she asked. “I as

CHAPTER 56

Vera’s POV The moment the guard left, the room went quiet again. Aaron leaned back slightly, watching her. Vera tilted her head just a little. That same look passed between them again. Lina saw it and immediately shook her head. “No.” Neither of them answered. “…No,” she repeated, stepping back like distance alone would save her. “I don’t like that silence. That silence means something stupid is about to happen.” Aaron exhaled slowly, dragging a hand over his jaw. “You say ‘stupid’ like it’s not relative.” “It’s not relative,” Lina shot back. “With you two, it’s always stupid.” Vera pushed off the chair, stretching slightly like she was just getting comfortable instead of planning something illegal under house arrest. “Relax.” “I don’t trust that word when it comes from you,” Lina replied immediately. “That sounds personal.” “It is personal,” Lina said flatly. “I just got my life back. I’m trying to keep it.” Aaron huffed out a quiet laugh, then glanced at Vera. “We can’

CHAPTER 57 (18+)

Vera’s POV The third shot hit different. Or maybe it was the bass. Or the way Aaron had stopped pretending he wasn’t scanning the crowd every 30 seconds like he was waiting for hell to walk through the door. Lina was already gone. Passed out on the leather couch, hair fanned out, mouth open. Dead to the world. “Lightweight,” Vera muttered, taking another sip. The alcohol burned, but not enough. Aaron smirked, but it didn’t land. His jaw was tight. He hadn’t touched his drink in 10 minutes. “We shouldn’t have left the house" “Too late,” Vera said. “You made your point.” He looked at her then. Really looked. “Did I?” Before she could answer, the air changed. You feel it in places like this. When the predator enters the room. The crowd doesn’t know why they’re parting — they just do. Aaron went rigid. Vera didn’t need to turn around. She knew. Kael. And Lucian. With their bodyguards. Lucian & Aaron Lucian didn’t say anything at first. He just walked up to the table, eyes

CHAPTER 58

Aaron’s POV I woke up with my heart in my throat. Wrong ceiling. Wrong sheets. Wrong everything. Lucian’s room. And Lucian. He was on his side facing me, one arm under the pillow, breathing slowly and Shirtless. That dragon tattoo on his ribs rose and fell inches from my face. The one I’d stared at for thirteen years and never touched. _No. No no no._ Last night hit me like a freight train. The club. The car ride. The whiskey I never should’ve touched because I’m a lightweight idiot. His hand on my knee. “Talk to me, Aaron. You’ve been off all night.” And me — me with a mouth full of alcohol and years of shit I’d swallowed — just _breaking_. _I’ve loved you for Thirteen fucking years, Lucian. Since I was 11 and stupid. Since before I knew what it felt like to want someone who looks right through me. You happy? You got what you wanted?”_ I didn’t even remember his reaction. Because I passed out. Right there. In his arms. Like a damn amateur. Now it was morning. I

CHAPTER 59

Aaron’s POVI should’ve stayed in my room.That thought hit me halfway down the hallway, just before Lucian’s office door came into view. Too late now. The door was already open.He was inside, standing by the window, back to me, sleeves rolled up, phone in his hand. Calm. Controlled. Like he didn’t just spend the morning dismantling me piece by piece without raising his voice.I stepped in anyway.“Close the door.”I did. The click echoed louder than it should have.He didn’t turn immediately. Just finished whatever he was reading, set the phone down, then finally looked at me. And just like that—everything from last night came rushing back again.Talk, he said.I let out a breath, You didn’t answer me.His brow lifted slightly, You didn’t give me the chance.I stepped closer, frustration building fast now. “I said something I’ve been holding in for thirteen years, Lucian. Thirteen. And your response is to drag me to the gym, ignore me for an hour, and act like—”“Like what?” he cut
