The Abandoned Wife Roxanne And Lucian Novels & Stories

For some reason I didn't feel like parting with Roxanne whom I had just met. "It's strange, I never thought I'd feel this way," I said with a frown, not too happy with what I was feeling at the moment. "My business here is done, anyway Roxanne is Alpha Willete's daughter so I'm sure she can be trusted." Just like what Roxanne said, I immediately left the forest. . . . Roxanne POV Before Vivian realised that she wasn't in the basement, she had to hurry back before Vivian came because the mysterious man made her lose track of time.

"That's not very romantic, darling." I set the glass down slowly. "You were so desperate to be my wife. Now you get to deal with everything that comes with forcing your way into my life." "Oh, I'm up for the challenge." She moved closer. "I used to want your love, Lucien. I used to dream about you looking at me the way you look at her." Her expression hardened. "But now? Now I just want to watch you suffer. You abandoned me for that little nobody, and I'm going to make you pay for it every single day."

“You promised this would be our escape. Our first real breath of air.” ​“I promised to protect you,” he corrected, his voice dropping into that low, gravelly baritone. “The escape only matters if we’re both alive to enjoy it.” ​The door opened softly, and Lucian stepped in with Carmen. The change in Carmen was heartbreaking. The vibrant woman who had danced at our wedding was pale, her features drawn tight with a lingering, invisible tremor. Lucian looked like a man who had aged ten years in a single afternoon. His hand stayed glued to the small of her back—not just a gesture of affection, but a physical anchor to keep her grounded.

Rohan Well, Luciana was right. There was an abandoned house in Wooded Acres. It looked like it had stood for many decades. There were no houses surrounding it. Only the sight of the woods behind it. I stood on the porch as I stared at my surroundings. There was no scent of a vampire here. That was strange. Did Luciana lie to me? It looked likely, but the look in her eyes as the silver blade sizzled her skin was enough for me to know that she was telling the truth.

Adrian said fluidly, pouring a cup of coffee into a dainty cup. “But if you really want to play your role well, you need to understand him. Lucas is…peculiar. He shoulders his empire and doesn't let people too close, even family. Not unless he wants them there.” A puzzled look crossed my face. “So what does he really want with me apart from this shammish marriage?” That question earned a shrug from Adrian. “You'd have to find out for yourself, Miss.Lucia.” I hated the way his answer left me with more questions instead of clarity but before I could try to squeeze more out of him, he received a call. He politely excused himself to take it, leaving me with confusion again.

"It's not impossible, though. He might be the devil, but women here would die just to be with him." He continued slicing. "Even women from powerful clans in this world want to marry him." He glanced at me. "Aside from holding the highest position in this world, you can't exactly hide the fact that he's incredibly handsome." "I am not part of those women, Calum." "Just saying, Agatha." He gave me a knowing look. "Master Lucien is the epitome of sin and seduction. Don't get caught in his trap, or you'll never have a chance to leave this place with your brother."

“Don't get ahead of yourself, man. Roxanne is just a breeder. Once she gives me what I want, she'll be out of here.” “Can you stop this already, Lucien?” He growled in anger. “One minute you're worried about her. The next minute, you're seeing her as nothing but a breeder. Stop it already.” “How many times do I have to tell you that I don't want a mate, Nathan? After what Yvette did to me, you expect me to take another mate? She cheated on me. She broke me. I don't want history to repeat itself.” “The fact that Yvette cheated on you, Lucien, doesn't mean that Roxanne would. Give her a chance. And accept her as your mate. Stop addressing her as just your breeder. It's demeaning for the poor g

That was, until the security informed me that someone had been waiting downstairs for the past three days. By the time I saw Lucian again, the once ambitious rising star of the business world had turned into a scruffy and disheveled man. Tears streamed down his face the moment he saw me. "I was in the wrong, Roxanne. Back then, Evelyn came to me claiming that she'd been diagnosed with a terminal disease. She said that all she wanted was to be with me in the final days of her life." A bitter smile tugged at his lips as he continued, "But I didn't expect that it would all turn out to be a lie in the end."

Nothing more. The night outside pressed against the windows, black and heavy, but Lucian felt nothing but the heat of his own anger. He had always kept control especially when it comes to his father, but tonight, the fire in his chest refused to be contained. They had left to go against the black roses but instead Lucian found out that Trout had been operating a prostitution ring under his nose. One of the men from black roses revealed it, they lured Lucian to the ring unknown to Lucian himself and escaped after causing chaos.

Leonard’s words lingered in the air for a long moment. Adele stood near the apartment window without answering right away. Meanwhile, Sebastian watched her from the dining table, his jaw tightening slightly. “Adele?” Leonard’s voice lowered. “I’ve done everything.” A coldness slowly entered Adele’s gaze. “And that’s exactly the problem.” Leonard frowned faintly on the other end of the line. “What do you mean?” “You abandoned the woman who just gave birth to your child.” Her tone remained calm. “And now you’re talking as if that proves your love.”
