All Chapters of Claimed By The MC President After One Night Stand: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Chapter 61Luca slammed the file shut the moment he received the call. "I'm heading to the hospital.""I'll come with you," Freya said, already reaching for her blazer.Jade grabbed the car keys. "I'll inform the officers stationed there to be on high alert."No." Luca stopped him. "Stay here and keep digging into Helen Cross. If someone used a dead woman's identity for years, I want to know every document that carries her signature.""You shouldn't miss anything, even the tiniest of details." "Understood, boss."Luca drove at a terrifying speed, and soon he and Freya arrived at St. Matthew's Hospital.Two uniformed officers were already waiting outside the intensive care unit."ADA Moreno." They nodded the moment they saw him.Luca acknowledged them with a nod."How is he?""The doctors stabilized him, but they said he can't be questioned for long."Luca pushed open the door and entered without hesitation.The judge's driver looked pale, and his forehead was wrapped in fresh bandage

Chapter 63By the time Luca steered the car into the underground parking garage of the prosecutor's office, the afternoon sun had begun its slow descent, casting long golden streaks across the concrete walls. The brief stop at Mrs. Lewis's diner had done exactly what he had hoped it would do. Freya no longer wore the tense expression she had carried since leaving the hospital, and the crease that had settled between her brows throughout the morning had finally disappeared.As they stepped out of the elevator onto the homicide floor, the familiar hum of ringing telephones and hurried conversations greeted them once again. Detectives moved from one office to another carrying files, while uniformed officers waited near the reception desk for instructions.Jade spotted them almost immediately and rushed over. "There you are," he said as he approached with a file tucked beneath his arm. "I've been looking all over the building for you."Luca accepted the folder without opening it. "Did s

Chapter 65Morning sunlight streamed through the tall windows of the prosecutor's office, washing the conference room in a warm glow that did little to chase away the weight of the files spread across the table.Someone had already pinned a fresh map of the city to the evidence board. At the same time, photographs of NorthStar Logistics now occupied the center, replacing Evelyn Harper's portrait as the focal point of the investigation.Freya and Luca arrived together, as they had been doing since they started working closely on the case a few days ago.The routine still felt new—leaving in the same car, walking into the office side by side, already talking through theories before they even reached the conference room. It blurred the line between personal space and professional focus in a way neither of them had fully acknowledged yet.Freya paused at the doorway, a steaming cup of coffee in each hand, before quietly setting one beside Luca."You've been here since dawn, haven't you?"

Chapter 67By the time Luca locked the conference room, the hallway outside had fallen almost completely silent. The cleaning staff had begun making their rounds, and the bright bustle that usually filled the prosecutor's office had given way to the quiet rhythm of mops gliding across polished floors and distant elevators opening and closing.Freya adjusted the strap of her handbag as they walked toward the parking garage, her heels clicking softly against the marble floor.She tilted her head toward Luca."Do you always work this late?""Not always."A smile tugged at her lips."I've noticed something."Luca pressed the elevator button before glancing at her."Another professional observation?""No."She stepped into the elevator as the doors slid open."This one is personal."He waited until the doors closed behind them before saying, "I'm listening.""You answer questions like you're being cross-examined."He frowned ever so slightly."Do I?""Mhmm."She counted on her fingers."'

Chapter 69The drive to Issa's apartment took a little over forty minutes, although it felt much shorter because Freya spent most of it singing along to the songs playing on the radio. Now and then she would forget the lyrics, replace them with nonsense, and laugh at herself before starting all over again.Luca, on the other hand, simply listened.Every so often, he would glance in her direction, only to find her looking out of the window with a smile that seemed lighter than it had been in weeks."You look happy," he said after observing for a while.Freya turned her head, the smile still lingering on her face. "Do I?""Mhm.""I haven't seen Issa in forever."Freya rested her elbow against the door as she commented, "I've really missed her."Luca nodded. "She is your best friend. It is only natural that you would miss her."Luca reached across the center console and intertwined his fingers with hers, keeping one hand on the steering wheel while the other held hers comfortably.The s
