Aria's POV The words sounded empty the moment they left my mouth. Without waiting for a reply, I started walking away. My sneakers made soft squeaking sounds against the polished floor as I hurried toward the corridor.I was desperate to get away from the tension, the heavy silence, and the scents that seemed to surround me from every direction.“Aria.”Lucien’s voice stopped me instantly.It was deep and calm, carrying the quiet confidence that always demanded attention without needing to be loud. The way he said my name sent a small shiver through me. It sounded both like a gentle call and an order I couldn’t ignore.“I’m not finished with you.”My feet stopped before I could take another step. A sudden shiver ran down my spine, catching me completely off guard. Slowly, I turned around, my heartbeat growing faster as my eyes met Lucien’s once again.He was standing exactly where I had left him, tall and calm, with his hands resting comfortably by his sides. There was nothing

Aria’s Pov“Miss Aria?”A staff member moves toward the middle of the conference room.“It’s time for the interview.”My grip tightens around the microphone.The conversations around me slowly fade into the background as all eyes turn in my direction. A lot of people watch as I make my way toward the interview stage. The cameras are already live, and the bright studio lights shine straight into my face, making it hard to see the audience clearly.Only the people sitting in the front row stand out.They were all professional sports journalists.Editors from major media companies.Top media executives.And the owners of the biggest hockey clubs in the country.I swallow nervously.This interview is being broadcast live.There are no second takes.No chance to fix a mistake.Whatever happens, everyone will see it.Across the room, Lucien meets my eyes. He doesn’t smile or say a word. He simply gives me one slow, confident nod.For some reason, that small gesture is all I need.A quiet w

Aria’s POVThe entire conference room falls into complete silence.It feels as though everyone is holding their breath.Every pair of eyes stays fixed on me, while the cameras remain locked on my face, waiting for my answer to Lucien’s question.My mouth feels dry, and my heart beats faster.Even though a storm of emotions rages inside me, I refuse to let it show. I take a slow breath, keep my expression calm, and speak with a steady voice.“I choose the truth,” I say clearly, holding Lucien’s intense gaze without looking away.“No relationship should ever be protected at the expense of honesty or integrity. If the truth has the power to destroy someone’s reputation, then that reputation is already built on something weak.”I take a deep breath, scanning the audience and continue.“Journalism is about bringing the truth into the light, even when it is difficult to accept. In fact, those are the moments when the truth matters the most.”The room stays completely quiet after I finish sp

Aria’s POVThe taste of Lucien’s precum is still on my tongue as I slowly get up from my knees. My lips feel all puffy and sore, and I can feel my cheeks burning hot and red. That little red light on the camera over on the dresser keeps blinking away, quietly recording every single moment between us. My whole body is buzzing with this deep, restless need. Down between my legs, I’m aching and soaked from everything we just did.Lucien is staring at me with those brown, intense eyes, half-closed like he’s holding himself back. His cock is still very hard, shiny and ready to continue. He reaches down and gently grabs my elbows, helping me to my feet, but I can tell he’s getting more impatient now, his grip a little tighter than before.“Get on the bed,” he tells me, his voice low and steady, like he’s teaching me something important. “We’re moving on to the main part now. I’ll walk you through every single step, we will take it nice and slow.”My heart is beating very loud in my ch

Aria’s POVI stopped in front of the glass doors of Lowa Kings Complex, my hand already resting on the cool glass as I prepared to leave.A gentle breeze from outside brushed against my face, making me long for the fresh night air.My bag weighed heavily on my shoulder, and my body still carried the pleasant feeling from everything that had happened with Lucien earlier.My thoughts had already drifted home.I couldn’t stop replaying the video in my mind, imagining the look that would spread across Alexio’s face the moment he watched it.Just as I was about to push the door open, a familiar voice cut through the silence of the nearly empty office.“Hey Aria.”I froze. Slowly, I turned around.Alexio stood only a few feet away with both hands tucked into the pockets of his perfectly tailored trousers.The top buttons of his shirt were left open, giving him a relaxed appearance, but there was nothing relaxed about the expression on his face.The bright lights above cast dark shadows acro
