Lucinda And Nathaniel Novel Novels & Stories

But even as they kissed, the glyphs crackled harder—one on Elias’s neck sparking open like a wound. Lucian broke the kiss, panting. “You’re unstable.” “I know,” Elias whispered. Lucian’s hand trembled against his cheek. “You’re burning.” “I always was.” Lucian kissed him again—softer this time, like he was trying to hold a breaking star. But Elias pulled back, eyes flashing. “Nihareth is still alive,” he said. “You know that, don’t you?” Lucian nodded. “And he won’t stop.” “He wants my power. My ruin. He’ll try to use everything I remember—every grief, every ghost—to do it.”

“The only thing factual about everything you’ve said is how transparent your insecurity is. You could write a whole thesis on envy and still not scratch the surface of whatever you’ve got festering inside.” Her jaw dropped slightly, but he wasn’t done. “You say she wasn’t cut out for competition?” He nodded slowly, then turned his full attention to me. “Funny. Because last I checked, Natalie didn’t have to sleep her way to the middle. She actually built something.” Vanessa stiffened, her grip on Lucas’s arm tightening, but he subtly shifted away.

A warm, shaking hand crept into mine, and I turned to behold on my shoulder Emma, her green eyes full of unshed tears. "So, a lovely conclusion to our foul narrative," she whispered with a faint, exhausted smile. I breathed out a laugh, but one lacking humor. "Beautiful? I don't know," I whispered. "But at least it's an end." A warm, steadying arm looped above me, and I saw a faint, warm smile in his eyes, and heard, "An end, and a new beginning." Lucian said. I wanted to believe it. I did, I swear I did.

Willow stared after them in confusion while Eve fished out her phone to confirm. "Oh," was what left her mouth and caught Willow's attention. "Let me see," Willow said and collected the phone from her. "Oh," was what also left her mouth. It was a picture of Nathan holding hands with a lady about his age as they walked into a restaurant. Jealousy and envy crept up her spin when she saw how beautiful the lady was. She then saw the headlines.

What was going on is what none of them ever expected. Nancy was ashamed of the condition she was placed in. "Hey look up here!" Pandora commanded. "I can't look at this again, I feel faint. Let me go!" Lucinda muttered. I reach out for her hand as she was about to leave and pulled her to myself. "No you aren't leaving, let's watch to the end. I want to see what will happen to this two fellows." I told her. "Feeling so bad for them." Lucinda brushed her long curly hair using the back of her palms.

--- Elsewhere… Nelly Couldn’t Finish the First Page Nelly sat in her room, sadness weighing heavily on her face. She felt as if Naomi had taken Adel from her completely. She stepped out, hesitant, and stopped at Naomi’s door. Her hand trembled as she reached for the handle… then slowly turned it. The room lit up. It was neatly arranged. On the table lay a book Naomi had been reading. She approached and picked it up. The title read: “Your Eyes Found Me – A Novel” She turned off the light and left.

"The main house was thoroughly swept. Negative contact. The place is empty, looks like it hasn't been disturbed in years, aside from some superficial searching in the library and upper floors. Recent footprints there, definitely within the last twenty-four hours, but Lucan is gone." Nina let out a soft sigh, almost unnoticeable. She adjusted her sunglasses slightly. Her gaze darted towards the largest structure, the main mansion with its broken windows and crumbling facade, then swept across the rugged terrain leading towards the cliffs. She'd known this was likely. Lucan was too good to be caught sitting around waiting for extraction he clearly didn't want.

And if she became the mistress of the Cross family, what wouldn't be possible then? "Alright, then I'll leave first. You go ahead with your work!" As she was leaving, she didn't forget to give Olivia a disdainful look. "Undress!" Nathaniel slumped his legs on the desk and watched Olivia with interest. Olivia was stunned, not understanding what he was saying, only knowing that his eyes were devilishly charming. However, Nathaniel had already withdrawn his gaze, casually touching his brows with his fingers, in such a manner that any woman would fall for him.

I mentally rolled my eyes, wondering if it's a habit, not to knock before entering a room. I got home and went straight for my room and when I got there I found her sitting on the bed- Lucinda, lost in thoughts. She was still pretty even with anxiety written all over her face. She looked innocent, she was a nice person, perhaps. But I couldn't fall for her, I was only going to hurt her. She seemed too innocent to be caught up in my world, that was why I was never in agreement with the whole marriage stuff. I just couldn't fall in love, I hated the fact that I was forced into this, I didn't want anyone to get hurt because of me, but the deed had already been done.

Lucinda wanted a place that was going to be suitable for everybody who came around and also gave them the opportunity to express themselves because that was the only way most of them would also be able to live. She didn't want a place where people would be struggling so hard to have their lives together when she could just provide shelter and many amenities for them. "You are one of the best people, and because of this I'm going to show you Nora's hideouts and everything that she has planned because I have some ability." Betty confessed and started telling Lucinda all of Nora secret and how she had married Marcus just to get closer to Lucinda and use that opportunity to get more money until
