Arcadia Lux Novels & Stories

Adrian is finally tired of being looked down on. If he’s going to make Lyra truly regret it, he needs to start making a difference — to look like someone of real power and dominance. Adrian heads to the mall, one of the biggest and finest in Vereluxe City. As soon as he steps inside, the warm air — different from the chill outside — makes him pause. He takes a moment and breathes it in, letting the perfume-laced scent linger. The smell of freshness and the spotless environment remind him of home. Back at his house he always had that familiar air about him. It exuded wealth and privilege like the shimmer of the decor.

Smiling, Chadwick nodded his head. “And to all the people who came here, thank you,” Adira continued. “We are here today to present to you all the newest wine we will launch by our project: “Luxury for Everyone.” Many of you are already aware that we have been working hard over the past months to be able to get to where we are today, and be ready to move forward with this excited new venture. And I, together with Mr. McElroy, are looking forward to accomplish our goals for this event.” Among the guests, Geoffrey stood in the corner with a mask on his face.

At the backseat of the car, Eric turned to Adina, his fingers instinctively reaching for hers. “Are you sure you don’t want me to come with you?” His tone was gentle, but reluctance flickered in his eyes.

With a remote in his hand, Adrian clicked, and the cover whooshed off. Elena gasped. A brand-new luxury SUV gleamed beneath the morning sun. Sleek, stylish, custom-finished in pearl white with soft pink accents—a tasteful nod to the arrival of their baby girl. On the windshield sat a bouquet of pink roses and a small card that read, “For every ride ahead, for every memory we’ll build together—thank you for carrying our greatest blessing.” Elena was speechless. Her heart swelled with so much emotion she thought it might burst. “Adrian…” she finally whispered, tears glistening in her eyes.

Ricchar laughed and grabbed his phone again. "And drowning his barely legal hookers in caviar, while huffing their new drug?" "Appunto." Ricchar pointed a finger at me. "It's called Odiax." [Exactly.] "What?" "O-dee-yaks," Ricchar drawled. "Leandro's obsessed with his new girl, Alodia. It's already got a street name: D-Lux." "Deluxe?" I muttered while squinting at his smirk. What a stupid name...

He said, stepping out of the car without giving me a chance to prepare myself. It wasn’t until I stepped out of the car that I finally realized where we were exactly. This was Golden Acres – one of the state’s most luxurious estates. The sidewalks were lined with perfectly manicured lawns, private fountains, and sprawling driveways, all of which served no other purpose than to prove that the owner could afford them.
