Chapter 50

AVA“I met Maya.”The excitement on Stella's face disappeared instantly, replaced by concern, annoyance and a bit of here we go again.“What did she want this time?” Stella asked, already knowing the answer wouldn’t be good.I let out a breath and leaned back in the couch. “Money.”Stella closed her eyes briefly. “Of course.”“She wants to start a business,” I added, my tone flat.That made Stella open her eyes. “Another one?!" she exclaimed.I gave a small nod. “And she wants thirty thousand to start it.”She blinked. “Thirty what? Thirty thousand?!” she burst out, her voice rising so fast I winced.“Yes.”Stella stared at me like she was waiting for me to laugh and say I was joking. When I didn’t, she dragged a hand down her face.“This girl.” she muttered under her breath. “This girl is actually insane."Stella shook her head and started pacing. “No, because this is not normal, Ava. This is not ‘help your sister’ behavior. This is...this is robbery with emotional manipulation.”I h

Chapter 51

LUCIENI had been staring at the same line on the screen for the past three minutes. I had read it three times and still couldn’t tell myself what it said.My attention kept drifting back to her and the way she said she was fine.I didn’t believe it.A knock broke through my thoughts. “Come in.”The door opened and Ben stepped in. Michael followed behind him.“Did you find out who she is?” I asked.Ben walked forward and placed a file on my desk. “Yes, sir.”He opened it just enough.“Her name is Maya, Maya Carson.”My fingers stilled. “Carson?”“Yes, sir. The madam’s sister.”For a moment, I just looked at him, then at the file. “She has a sister?” I said, more to myself than to them.That wasn’t in any of the reports. Not once. I was supposed to know this. Ben continued, “They were both raised in the same orphanage, sir. The madam was adopted early but miss Maya remained there until she turned eighteen.”"Interesting." I murmured.I picked up the file, flipped it open and scanned

Chapter 52

AVAThe cool night air hit me the moment I got downstairs.Then I saw Lucien leaning against his car with his legs crossed. It was the same car he'd allowed me to drive the last time.Even now, at this hour, he still looked like he had just stepped out of a boardroom. He was in a grey shirt and black trousers looking so neat and crisp, not a single thing out of place.It didn’t make sense.No one should look that put together this late at night and yet, he did.It made him look alluring.I swallowed and looked away quickly, heat rising to my cheeks as I started walking toward him.Why was I reacting like this? It was just him, just Lucien. But the closer I got, the more aware I became of his gaze which was already fixed on me.It made me suddenly conscious of everything, how I was walking, how I looked, the fact that I was literally just wrapped up in a coat.By the time I reached him, my heart was beating a little faster than it should have been.“Hi,” I said shyly.He didn’t respond

AVAI cleared my throat, trying to recover from the fact that he had just caught me staring at him.“Um… thank you,” I said, looking away. “For the flowers.”He just hummed, his gaze still on me. “Did it help?” he asked.The question was simple, but the way he said it made it feel like he actually cared about the answer.I nodded. “Yes, it did.”I glanced at him again, hesitating. I could feel my fingers fidget slightly in my lap.“Did you… um…” I started, then stopped. This was harder than I thought.He raised a brow, waiting.I swallowed.“Did you send… anyone money,” I said carefully, “with my name?”His expression didn’t change. If anything, he looked more interested.“Did I?” he asked, turning the question back on me.I frowned, my lips pushing out into a small pout before I could stop myself.“Lucien.”For a second, just a second, his lips curved faintly to the side, then it was gone like it never happened.“Why didn’t you tell me that you were being exploited?”My heart dropped
