All Chapters of Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies: Chapter 121 - Chapter 127

LUCIANAs a leader of one of the oldest families in organized crime in this country, getting escorted out of the Kane estate with a gun aimed at the back of my head after the woman I cared for agreed to a union with a member of the Anderson family, was surprisingly not the only hurtful thing that happened to me that night.No.The brother I had done my best to rescue… the stupid idiot who allowed himself to be captured in the first place escaped from the hospital the next day.It had been two months since that night and it still fucked me up.I took a drag from the cigarette, letting the smoke fill me up from the insides. An old habit that just had to resurface. “Get the fuck out of my house,” I said, keeping my eyes on the man opposite me, who looked like he hadn’t seen the light of day since he escaped that day.Injuries covered every part of his exposed skin—some covered up, some open, and all releasing a pungent odor. I couldn’t even fathom the kind of nonsense this man had been u

CALDERWhile Lucian drowned himself in those strategy sessions that he didn’t really talk about and Aiden buried his guilt under mountains of paperwork, I did the opposite.I threw myself into everything that wouldn’t let me think.Racing and fighting.The roar of the engines, the hard feel of someone’s punch when they could land one, the burn of rubber on the asphalt, the adrenaline that drowned everything else—that was my escape. I left the business side of my life to my managers, who still reported to me weekly like clockwork. Numbers, deals, profits… none of it mattered when Janice was still trapped in that bastard’s mansion.When I wasn’t doing that, I spent every spare moment researching ways to get her back. There were hidden passages. Bribes. Hacking security systems. Every lead turned into a dead end. Every plan crumbled under the weight of Alexander Kane’s reach and if I was being honest, it was driving me fucking insane. Making me more irrational than usual. Sleep was nonex

JANICE“Aisha, it’s just… I really don’t know if I’m doing the right thing,” I said into the phone, wiping my sweaty palm on the seat surface. Fuck… what is wrong with me? “But this is just a party. A fucking party with people who expected me to fail because they think I didn’t know anything about anything. They might not accept me.”Was this car going even faster?Aisha’s melodious chuckle caressed my ears. Since she preferred to stay back at the estate so she could finish her proposal and designs for the new project she was working on, a call was all I got. “You have nothing… literally nothing to worry about. The people are going to love you. Those Russians did.”“Those Russians thought I would marry their son at the end of the training. You know I had to run away in the middle of the night…”“It’s all in your head, J.” Aisha cut in. “Don’t you dare overthink this.”She was right, of course, but I still had no idea what to expect. Everything just felt so shiny and new, for some reas

JANICEThere was something so satisfying about watching a man from the shadows. It was one of my favorite pastimes back in Russia when I knew I had to ambush Ivan because his father was unavailable.The man fucking hated it.I watched as the black motorcycle roared into the garage. Calder killed the engine and swung one long leg over the seat. He pulled off his helmet, shaking out his dark hair, and the overhead lights caught every hard line of him. The black racing suit clung to broad shoulders, thick arms, and the powerful muscles of his thighs. Two years had only made him more dangerous.More beautiful.My heart hammered as I stepped out of the shadows.He turned at the sound of my heels. For a second he just stared, like he couldn’t trust his eyes. Then the helmet dropped to the concrete with a dull thud.“Janice.”That velvet smooth voice that always had a way of making me relax was rough. Almost broken.I walked closer, every step measured. “Hey, Calder.”He didn’t move at first
