Arcadia Lux Novels & Stories

Adrian settled the Walters before going off to settle other matters even though he was dying to know what triggered a mass walkout. Royale Lux was one of Montague chain of hotels and a world of luxuries in its own right. Of the 25 floors, the top floor was Adrian private space; the top floor had 3 penthouses, each complete with everything including a state-of-the-art private gym and swimming pool with sauna. In addition, the top floor also had a common kitchen, living and dining area that could sit around 25 guests. The owners of the other 2 penthouses didn’t have to spelled... they were Chris and Neil.

And now, Adrian had just handed him a black card with no limit. "You want me to shop?" Luca whispered to the empty room. "Fine. I'll shop." An hour later, Luca was sitting in the back of Adrian’s luxury car. The driver, a quiet, middle-aged man named Arthur, drove him straight to the city's most exclusive luxury shopping district. When the car pulled up to the curb, Luca stepped out into the crisp afternoon air. He had left his sweatpants behind, now wearing a pair of tight black jeans and a oversized knit sweater that fell off one shoulder. He walked into the first high-end boutique with his head held high.

But he managed to push it aside, refocusing on his dinner. Adriana sat inside an elegantly designed office situated high in a towering skyscraper, the floor-to-ceiling windows offered a spectacular view of the city lights at night. The office was filled with modern furnishings, polished wood, and sleek glass surfaces that gave off an air of sophistication. The glow from the city's myriad of lights cast a serene ambiance.

Ryan snatched the blue folder in front of him, labeled Damage Control, and flipped through the headlines: “Luxehaven’s Golden Days Over?” “The Decline of Cold-Luxe: When Style Trumps Comfort.” “I Paid $800 a Night to Feel Ignored.” Every line clawed at his pride. Every word chipped away at the empire he’d built with sleepless nights and bloodshot eyes. And then, the final insult was an excerpt from the same magazine that was in his payroll — Coastal Living Magazine: “Honestly, if you want true warmth and real luxury, Eden’s Grace is worth every penny. Luxehaven looks like it’s trying too hard to be perfect and forgetting the people who actually pay to be there.”

Said Adrian who was explaining on there to Alexis while starting to hold Alexis' left hand on there, and slightly pulling Alexis in slowly movement to be able to quickly follow the footsteps of his two feet to walk out of the room and castle to see Alexis' new car in front of the castle right away. Not very long after all of that, Adrian and Alexis immediately began to stop their respective footsteps on there right away, and looked directly at the front of the castle on there about right now. Which shows a red Lamborghini car that shines very beautifully about right now on there directly. Alexis looks very fascinated by the new car that Adrian already bought about for her on there right now.

She hadn't seen much of Adryan too after their pack tour her first day, when she asked Violet about it, who gave her a sly smile in reply but said that he was busy preparing for something which was supposed to happen soon. Jade has found solitude in the outdoor balcony Adryan's house had. The balcony was made up of wood, like the rest of the house. This part of the balcony had a feminine touch to it, with small plant pots here and there, with flower. She wondered if it was Adryan's idea or maybe someone else's...like Adeena?, Jade immediately shakes her head, no, she wasn't going to go there yet now that the thought had entered her mind, she was curious.

Amaria replied with an upset look. “Amaria, the only reason your uncle didn't give you a chance was that you were unable to transform into your werewolf form, and you also have no skill in magic,” Diana said again, she signaled one of her maids to bring the jewelry box in her hand, The maid bowed and placed the box beside Diana, bowed again and left. Diana opened the box and brought out a magnificent silver necklace with a bright blue crystal. “ This is for you, It is made from the moon crystal, it's like a good luck charm” Diana beamed as she handed it to Amaria. But Amaria refused,“ pardon me your highness but I don't think I deserve such a beautiful gift”

Beyond it, a terrace opened wide to the city below… plush white loungers, a table laid with champagne, and the faint hum of traffic far beneath us. Adriana stepped inside slowly, her bare feet sinking into the velvet rug with wide eyes. She took it all in…the chandelier above the pool, the sleek glass bar lined with bottles, the grand piano near the window, even the scent of roses that drifted through the air. “Oh my God…” she breathed. “Matteo, this is—” “Home,” I said quietly, watching her face. She turned to me, lips parted in disbelief. “You call this a suite?”

The heat, the control, the unspoken claim. As soon as they stepped onto the dock, Amelia turned to him. "You didn’t mention this level of extravagance." Adrian smirked. "Would you have come if I had?" She exhaled sharply. "Debatable." His lips twitched. "Too late to turn back now, sweetheart." He was right.She was here. Alone. With him. And she had no doubt Adrian Black planned to take full advantage of that. The villa was absurdly beautiful. The kind of place where every detail had been meticulously designed for indulgence. Floor-to-ceiling windows that framed the ocean, a sprawling infinity pool that seemed to blend seamlessly with the horizon, and a massive master suite that screamed trou

"Dubai? Tomorrow?" "My private jet is already set," Adrian said, checking his watch with a clinical precision. "The Vanquish II. It has a full master suite, and a personal chef. You’ll have a new wardrobe waiting for you on board. Pack light; I want you in nothing but the best for the moguls. This isn't just a trip, Lila. It’s the final seal on our empire." ** Later that afternoon, the quiet luxury of the Sterling mansion was interrupted by a familiar, frantic energy.
