Lucien Lorraine Leaked Mga Nobela at Kwento

The silence that followed lasted long enough that Eli counted it, four seconds, five, six, and Lucien said nothing, he just sat there with the phone on the desk between them and his face doing something that Eli had never seen on it before, not the controlled version, not the grief version he’d shown last night, something rawer than both, something that had been sitting under everything for eleven years waiting for the specific piece of information that would finally give it a name . “Luce,” Seraphine said quietly. “Say something.” Lucien stood up. He didn’t say anything. He just stood up from the desk in one motion and crossed the room to the window and stood there with his back to Eli, one

The crystal bourbon glass he had left on the windowsill shattered in his mind. "Julian," Lucian snarled, a sound of pure, unadulterated, demonic rage that vibrated the glass in the windows. "He didn't wait for our counter move. He dumped the entire file to the international press." The encrypted phone in Lucian's hand started beeping wildly. Then, Zara's personal cell phone on the dresser started ringing. Then, the private landline. The entire world was waking up to the scandal, and the fallout was instantaneous.

“And keep fighting anyway.” --- Selene joined them near dawn the next day, her expression dark with unspoken knowledge. She carried an old leather-bound ledger in her hand, one that had been hidden in the vault they’d bled to access. “This is why he wants you so badly,” she said, offering the book to Emily. Emily took it with careful hands. The spine was almost gone, and the cover was broken. The page names, dates, and the unadulterated reality of Lucien's crimes were all splattered with secrets by the faded ink when she opened it.

Vincent replied shaking his head unknowingly, " I don't know, Milord. I have closed all the way of leaking this news. There is only one possiblity left that someone from Lady Isabella's family has made it public. Except this, I don't see any possibility here." Lucien's eyes changed color in no moment. That's the reason, he wanted everything secret. Humans couldn't be trusted when it comes to keep secret. Ikaya was right behind him. Her face lost the calm sanity after she learnt that people happened to discover their marriage. Her heart rumbled in dissatisfaction.

She paused and looked at him. "Was it you who posted this video?" Seeing the disappointment on Eloise’s face, Lucian suddenly felt a pain in his heart, but he impatiently replied, "Do you think I made this video? I have better things to do." Eloise pushed Lucian’s hand away from hers. She looked at him and said, "If you think I owe you for keeping you in the dark, then after you posted this video, we’re even." They were both smart. When Eloise accused Lucian of leaking the video, he didn't deny it.

Lucien stepped toward the front again before speaking sharply into his phone. “Prepare the surgical team immediately.” Then his expression changed. Sharply. Fear crawled painfully through my chest. “What?” Lucien looked toward Damian. “The hospital leaked.” Silence crashed through the cabin. No. Lucien’s jaw tightened dangerously. “Reporters and Gregory’s people are already surrounding the emergency entrance.” Everything inside me turned cold again. Even now. Even after this. They still would not stop. The medic looked horrified. “We cannot take him through media chaos in this condition.”

Adric stared at both of them for a while, face ashen with shock before she moved back. She said nothing and just left and that was worse than anything she could have decided to say at that moment. They were both quiet in the water for a while and even though neither of them said nothing at first, the fact was right there. Adric was very close to Xavier’s father, and if his father heard that he was caught in an intimate position with Lucien, things could get very bad, worse than the Carla situation even.

"I didn't know this version." Lucien finally lowered the paper. His eyes were dark, searching mine. Before he could speak, the doors swung open. Julianne walked in, her face pale, clutching a tablet. "Lucien, you need to see this," she stammered. "It’s not Silas. It’s the press. Someone leaked the hospital footage from last night."

That was Louis's dangerous smile. The smile he gave when he had already done something terrible. Her stomach dropped. She slowly turned toward him. “You… did that?” Her voice carried disbelief. Louis simply nodded. “Yes.” He didn't even try to deny it. “It was me who leaked those pictures.” The words fell out of his mouth casually, like he was talking about the weather. “I leaked them because I wanted to marry you.” The room went completely silent. Lisa felt like someone had poured cold water over her head.

On the screen… News channels from around the world played simultaneously. Every one of them carried the same headline. BLACKWELL CONSORTIUM DATA LEAK SHOCKS GLOBAL MARKETS. Aurora frowned. “That’s impossible.” Lucien took the tablet. His face drained of color. “The Protocol…” He whispered. “It wasn’t stopped.” Alexander stepped closer. “But Adrian is dead.” Lucien slowly shook his head. “No.” His eyes scanned the screen. “He completed the upload before the explosion.” Aurora felt the blood leave her face.
