Chapter 71: Paper Over Pride

LucienI was sitting in the armored black SUV, eyes staring out of the window.The Statue of Liberty facing me. It feels as if she’s staring straight through me, knowing what I’m aiming for.New York is slightly different from Chicago. The city is bustling with more life.The relentless noise of yellow cabs, sirens, and millions of people rushing blindly through concrete canyons.Now that I conquered Chicago, I can’t help but feel like perhaps New York can be our next target, but of course we need to finalize everything regarding our last territory expansion.And that’s precisely why we’re here.Both Silas and I were on our way to the sit-down that the High Council has demanded from me.Of course I knew it is one of Don Valese Lucchese trick, pulling strings with the Council to show me my place.A new Kingpin in the underworld who still needs their approval, and of course the final agreement to finally get the Chicago’s Jewel, Calumet Harbor.  The city’s traffic jammed as usual, pull

Chapter 72: Silence in the Library

AureliaThe library was quiet, as usual. My head was down, my chin resting in my palm as my eyes scanned the classic we were dissecting for this week’s book club.Around the polished mahogany table, the soft scratching of pens and the quiet whispers of my classmates faded into a comfortable hum.It had been a couple of weeks since I had felt normal again.Despite me being the partner of the most powerful mafia Don in Vegas, Lucien had finally allowed me to breathe.Now that we’ve both established trust in each other, I could spend my time freely outside, feeling like a normal student again on my university campus.I even got to visit my mother and Amelia regularly. The doctors' and nurses' constant care, along with the help around the house, had played such a big part in her recovery. My mother looked better, healthier, and the upcoming PET scans would determine whether the cancer cells were completely gone from her body.Finally, after grueling months of us battling against the dise

Chapter 73: I'm Your Monster

Aurelia"Lucien," I panted heavily, my head dizzy with the sudden rush of lust and the sheer need he always managed to trap inside my body. "We're... we're in a library!" "Exactly," he murmured, his lips trailing lower to the swell of my chest. "That makes it even better, doesn't it?" "Are you crazy?" I hissed, and yet my hands didn't push him away. They clung to his shoulders, because I had missed him too much, and the distance between us had been torture. "I get that question a lot," he murmured against my skin, his tongue snaking along the valley of my cleavage, making me shiver violently. "And we both know the answer." He let out a low, rumbling chuckle that vibrated right through my chest. "Lu... Lucien..." I tried to summon some lingering shred of sanity. There was no way we could do this here, but his hand remained firmly anchored at my waist, trapping me against the wood, while his other hand hooked the edge of my lacy bra, pulling it downward. He didn't ask for permiss

Chapter 74: The Key To My Heart

Lucien’sAurelia's hands were gripping my arms like it's the last thing on her life line. Her eyes closed, while her breath starting to catch up to a more steady rhythm. "I... can't believe... you made me... cum in the library..." She gritted her teeth before slowly opening her eyes, staring at me with half disbelief and half murderous intent.I only chuckled, my fingers slowly pulling out of her warmth. Her wetness coated me, slick and warm. I raised my hand up, eyes locked on hers, before I slowly stuck my fingers inside my mouth, sucking them clean with a sound that made her cheeks blush furiously."Lucien!" she hissed, hastily pulling up her pants and looking anywhere but at me.That made me laugh all over again.God, I've missed her. Seeing her like this again, shy, flustered, right after cumming under my fingers, it made me feel alive again. "Why so shy, Aurelia? We’ve done much more than this," I smirked, watching her rush to straighten her clothes."You know why! We should

Chapter 75: A Blood Alliance

Aurelia's It has been a while since Lucien came home, and I've been caught up in a whirlwind of love. Now that he’s back, he spent most of his days working downstairs in the executive office beneath our penthouse in Thorne Tower. That means we got to spend our evenings together a lot. In fact, ever since he returned, it seems like he couldn’t keep his hands off of me. So even during the working hours, he’ll bring me down to his office just to keep him company—and perhaps, to do a few inappropriate things, which I'm not really proud of. But what can I say? I fell in love—hard, fast, and so clearly that I couldn't even deny the feeling anymore. I know I shouldn't. Because no part of loving a kingpin like him would ever be considered normal. But we're so deep in this... whatever this relationship was supposed to be, I’m not sure. All I know is, I love him, and he seems like so deeply infatuated with me that I'm pretty sure there's emotion of love underneath it too, but unfo

Chapter 76: A Keeper, Not A Queen

Aurelia The quietness of the room enveloped me. Yet my mind refused to stop echoing Silas's words.Just keep her as your mistress.Of course. That was the harsh reality I had to face.Why would I allow myself to even think this could end up in a happy ending?I'm just merely his purchase, a one million dollars purchase he spent for my virginity.How could I forget the true nature of our relationship?Was I that stupid? That naive? To believe he would ever choose me over a mafia princess who could save his entire empire was completely illogical. And to picture him having an heir with her—a son to inherit his legacy while I remained a hidden bed warmer in his penthouse forever...Tears slipped silently down my cheeks.I couldn't stand the image forming in my head. It disgusted me, and it made me feel repulsive to my own self. How could I let myself sink this far? I can't do this..I shouldn't even be here..But he holds my freedom.. My head lifted up, to the floor-to-ceiling wind

Chapter 77: The Illusion of Submission

Lucien's"What do you mean she's gone??"My voice was low. I sounded cold and calculated on the outside, but inside, a violent, suffocating wave of panic was already clawing at my throat."She left the campus grounds, unnoticed..." Jean's voice filled the line, heavy with defeat."You must be kidding me. You lost track of her? She is a defenseless little girl, and you are six armed, military-trained men," I murmured softly, though the vicious anger bleeding through my words was more than palpable."Is everything alright, Lucien?" Gianna asked from across our table, her sharp eyes tracking me with sudden curiosity."Yes, just a minor issue in Vegas. If you'll excuse me." I stood up, not waiting for her response, and stepped away from the table."Look, she went to the bathroom, and as usual, we waited outside for her... but she never came back out," Jean explained, his panicked voice the only thing I focused on as I brushed past a waiter carrying a tray of drinks."Never came out?" I re

Chapter 78: Neon and Dust

Aurelia The quietness of the outskirt town unsettled me. Instead of feeling calm and quiet, it felt eerie and dark. I looked around, trying to find a single soul, only to look straight at an empty dessert.I don’t know where I am, I just took the bus and ride as far as I can, because the further I can escape Vegas, the less chance Lucien Thorne can find me. I walked ahead of me, my hand gripping the backpack that I usually wore daily in campus, inside it sit a few snacks, bottle of water and a pair of wig and outfit that manage to fool Lucien’s guards. I’ve also managed to pull out sum of cash from my own ATM. For now I will only rely on cash to survive, so that Lucien won’t be able to trace it. The cool night air slapped my face, it was late at night, and cold. But I had no other choice than to keep moving forward.Strange, just a week ago I was laughing, rolling on his bed, happy to see him home after a long hard day work. And now, I’m in the middle of nowhere, trying to run a

Chapter 79: Every Inch Mine

Aurelia The ceiling above me stared back down, its off-white paint peeling around damp, dark patches of mold.The low, steady hum of static from the ancient TV was the only thing keeping me grounded. Without it, I knew the suffocating wall of silence would close in on me—just like it used to during those long, lonely months when Lucien kept me trapped inside his penthouse suite.Lucien...I wondered what he was doing right now.He must've know.. He must've already know that I escaped his security. A pang of guilt twisted in my stomach as I thought of Jean; he would be the one taking the burn of Lucien’s wrath.Lucien was probably furious—exploding, cold, and burning with a lethal rage.And yet, a small, foolish piece of my heart couldn't help but wonder...Will he yearn for me? For my touch, my voice, my laughter?For I have filled his dark, quiet world with so much warmth. So much light that, for a brief time, the feared mob boss had softened only for me. He had smiled—a genuine
