Lucien Lorraine Leaked Mga Nobela at Kwento

I corrected and Dario’s gaze sharpened. They expected hesitation, emotion and maybe possessiveness. They were fishing. Lucien exchanged a glance with Corvin, and he unrolled another parchment. “Scenario three.” His voice softened. “Intelligence reaches you that sensitive information from within this chamber has been leaked externally.” “You are told the leak originated from one of us,” he continued. “But no proof is presented. How do you proceed?” I let the silence stretch, just long enough. Then I answered. “I request the original report.”

He had been watching her since she arrived, waiting for her to say something. She took a deep breath, finally looking at him. “The news got out.” Lucian nodded. “I know. My secretary informed me this morning.” His voice was calm, controlled. “It was leaked. Probably from someone at the party.” Aurora exhaled slowly. “I should have expected this.” Lucian leaned against his desk, arms crossed. “It doesn’t change anything.” She let out a humorless laugh. “Maybe not for you. But it does for me.” She looked down at her hands. “My mom knows, Lucian. She found out before I could tell her myself.”

"I saw him with my own eyes—walking hand in hand with a man into a bar." Gina grabbed Cynthia's sleeve, looking utterly heartbroken. "Where did you see this? When? You—" Before she could finish, their colleague Pearl burst into the room. "BREAKING NEWS! Jacqueline Leyton was spotted going into a hotel with Lucien Brown!" The office erupted into chaos. Cynthia, however, found the news outdated. Erica had already told her about this before—Lucien's rumored affair with a model. She had assumed the whole world knew by now, but apparently, the news was only just being widely reported.

“Stay here. Rest. I’ll be right back.” He found Vivienne in the small family waiting room down the hall, pacing like a caged panther in her sharp black blazer and red heels. The moment he stepped inside, she turned, tablet already extended. “Mother,” she said without preamble. “She’s been helping Adrian the entire time.” Lucien took the tablet. The screen showed a chain of encrypted messages, bank transfers routed through three different shell companies, and a single voice recording timestamped two weeks before Adrian’s escape. He pressed play.

“But I see now… you deserve the truth. All of it.” The tension in the air grew heavier, his words wrapping around me like smoke. I wanted to speak, to ask what else he’d been hiding, but the sound of footsteps echoed from the hallway, fast, urgent. Lucien burst through the door, breathless. “Alexander—” Alexander straightened immediately. “What is it?” Lucien’s expression was grim, his voice low. “We found something at the gate.” Alexander’s eyes narrowed. “What?” Lucien stepped forward, holding up a bloodstained envelope.

Ethan thought he could use silence as a weapon, that he could carve doubts into Amara until she turned away. But Lucian had built his empire by tearing down men who underestimated him. And this time, he wasn’t protecting an empire. He was protecting her. The difference was lethal. Lucian’s phone buzzed against the desk. He snatched it up at once, his security chief’s voice crackling through the line. “We traced the media leak, sir. The photos didn’t go directly to the outlets. They were funneled through a shell PR firm—one of Ethan Hale’s frequent contractors.”

"Professor Lucien is so hot." The crowd gasps, murmurs breaking out. The whole student body gasps, some pulling out their phones. “What the hell is going on?” Kiera looks at me. I just shrug. I don’t understand. Curious, Mia leans over a girl’s shoulder to peer at the phone. “Fucking Hallelujah,” she gasps, pulling out her phone too. “Someone posted photos of Lucien on the school forum. Damn, that man is hot.” Mia quickly logs in.

She stared at him, her whole body trembling. “You let me hate you.” Lucien’s voice broke. “I deserved it.” She sank to the floor, burying her face in her hands. “Why didn’t you just tell me from the start?” “Because Elise would’ve come for you. And if she thought you were on to her, she wouldn’t have hesitated.” “I still don’t understand… why would she do it? What could my father have possibly done?” Lucien sat down across from her, a bitter smile ghosting his lips. “He found out about something he wasn’t supposed to know. A money trail. An offshore account. Elise had been laundering money through your father’s company. He was going to expose her.”

“It’s not like you’ll ever know how it feels.” That made her visibly more upset. Her face contorted with rage. “I came to see how you were holding up. After the news of your power got leaked to the world.” The news was leaked? This was news to me. My heart sank. So, Lucien had hidden this from me. He was acting like everything was fine while I was being hunted. “Don’t worry. Lucien has it under control,” I lied, keeping my voice steady. “It’s another perk of sleeping with him.” I flashed her another smirk, enjoying the way her eye twitched.

And on a filtered call recording, Celeste’s voice confirmed it: “Lucien’s waited long enough. Damon won’t see it coming”. Juliette’s stomach dropped. Lucien hadn’t just resurfaced. He was helping Celeste. She dialed. “Lucien”, she said when he picked up. “We need to talk”. ----------------------------------------- Elsewhere… In a corridor lit only by flickering sconces, Celeste stood draped in crimson, wine glass in hand. Cara, her assistant, whispered: “The leak hit every major outlet. International coverage. Trending globally”.
