All Chapters of His Royal Slut: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The next day dawned softly over the city, the kind of quiet morning that felt almost stolen. Raine and Daniel spent most of it wrapped up in each other on the old couch in the sitting room, the same one that had witnessed so many of their secret nights years ago. Sunlight filtered through the thin, dusty curtains, casting warm patterns across their skin as they kissed lazily, hands moving without any real hurry. Daniel’s fingers traced slow, soothing lines up and down Raine’s back under his shirt, while Raine curled into his chest, occasionally pressing soft kisses along his jaw and neck like he was afraid to stop touching him.“I still can’t believe this is real,” Daniel murmured between kisses, his voice low and rough with lingering sleep and emotion. He pulled Raine closer, one large hand splaying possessively across his lower back. “After five years of thinking I lost you forever… having you here, like this… it feels like I’m dreaming.”Raine smiled against his lips, a small, shy

The throne room fell into a stunned hush as Lord Adeline’s face drained of all color. The old nobleman, usually so arrogant and sure of his place among the king’s inner circle, looked like he had seen a ghost. His hands trembled slightly as he stared at Raine, recognition hitting him like a freight train. The man who had just dismissed Raine as a poor, unfit commoner now realized he was standing in front of one of the most powerful silent investors in his own business empire, a man whose quiet financial moves had shaped industries across continents.“Mr. Lee…” he whispered, voice barely audible at first. Then, louder and more desperate, “Please… I didn’t know. I had no idea it was you.”Raine simply smiled, a small, calm smile that didn’t reach his eyes. It was the kind of smile that came from someone who had spent years building power in the shadows, away from the eyes of those who once dismissed him as nothing more than a poor boy warming a prince’s bed. Lord Adeline started begging

Raine’s heart was pounding as he pulled up to the old apartment building. He barely waited for the car to come to a full stop before he killed the engine, jumped out, and rushed toward the entrance. The familiar stairs creaked under his hurried footsteps, each one feeling like it took too long. Cole’s broken voice on the phone kept echoing in his head, and the fear that something truly terrible had happened made his stomach twist into knots.He didn’t bother knocking. He used his key and barged straight into the apartment, the door swinging open with a loud creak.“Cole?” he called out, voice tight with worry.The living room was dim, the only light coming from a small lamp on the side table. Cole was sitting on the floor in the middle of the room, knees drawn up to his chest, tears slipping silently down his face. He looked completely shattered, eyes red and swollen, shoulders slumped like the weight of the world had finally crushed him.Raine didn’t hesitate. He dropped to his knees

Raine stepped into the office with a polite smile already on his face for the stranger sitting across from Daniel. The moment Daniel’s eyes landed on him, his entire expression lit up like someone had flipped a switch. The serious, kingly mask he usually wore softened into something warm and openly happy. “Come here,” Daniel said, gesturing for Raine to come closer. Raine walked over, and before he could even fully reach the desk, Daniel pulled him down onto his lap without hesitation. Raine’s cheeks warmed instantly at the casual possessiveness, especially with a stranger in the room. “Seb, this is Raine… my husband,” Daniel said, his voice carrying a quiet pride that made Raine’s face heat up even more. “Raine, this is Sebastian. My best friend since we were kids.” Sebastian stood up with an easy grin and extended his hand. “So you’re the famous Raine. Damn, Daniel. You really went and got yourself a husband without telling me.” Raine shook his hand, still blushing hard. “

Betty stood in the doorway of Daniel’s office for a long moment without saying a word. She simply looked at him, eyes dark with something that wasn’t quite concern and wasn’t quite desire either. Then she began to walk toward him, slow and deliberate, the sound of her heels clicking against the marble floor like a countdown. She licked her lips as she approached, the gesture slow and intentional, as if she thought she still had some claim over him. Daniel didn’t move. He stayed seated behind his desk, head still partially lowered, staring at her with a face completely stripped of emotion. The dark circles under his eyes and the tightness in his jaw were the only signs that he hadn’t slept properly in days. Five days without Raine. Five days of searching, of shouting at investigators, of staring at empty reports that gave him nothing. The last thing he needed was her. Betty came around the desk without waiting for permission. She leaned in close, one hand reaching for his shoulder,
