LOGINLucien’s POVWe arrived at the gala; some people were just arriving while some had already arrived a long time ago…Cassian stepped out first…. As always.He adjusted the cuff of his black tuxedo before offering Father a hand. Father accepted with a nod, straightening his jacket as a few photographers stationed near the entrance snapped discreet pictures of arriving guests… I stepped out after them followed my Natalie Father glanced over his shoulder."Remember why we're here." I slipped my hands into my pockets then looked at him sternly "To pretend we enjoy small talk?” Cassian chuckled before replying "I was going to say networking." Father shook his head at us."I expect both of you to behave.""I always behave," Cassian answered smoothly as I raised an eyebrow at him"That's the biggest lie you've told all week.” He murmured.Father sighed before leading us through the towering doors…He barely made it three steps before several businessmen intercepted him."Mr. Moretti!""It's
Natalie's POVI was still seated on Lucien mouth…his pacing never changed… he sucked harder than before making me cum even more than before.Every time I try to pull away his grip tightens even further on my thighs A knock came through my room door…. I instinctively closed Lucien mouth with my palm…I know he wasn’t saying anything but at this point even his breathing felt loud to meThe cocky smile on his face disappeared. We both listened as another knock came through."Natalie?" Casian's voice came through the door. "Are you okay?"I cleared my throat silently, desperately trying to make my voice sound normal."Y-Yes. I'm fine." I replied in a low tone…Lucien dug deeper into me with his tongue as I let out a faint moa… when I realized I actually moaned out loud, I covered my mouth with my other hand "You don't sound fine." He replied "I'm alright," I insisted."Hmm...You sound... busy."Shoot… hope he didn’t hear that…"I was just…changing." He paused for some time before replyin
Natalie’s POV“Lucien…” I whispered from across the table, but it really didn’t help because I knew from the look on his face, he was about to make a wrong decision without thinking it through “Excuse me?” He repeated himself louder this time so the guy could hear him… the guy turned to face him while adjusting his glasses “Sorry, can I help you?” The guy said “No…I’m the one that is meant to be asking you that, any problem?” He paused raising a brow at him while the guy just stared at him… short of words…people sitting close to Lucien and the guy started to turn in their direction…“Problem with what?” “You’ve being staring… much longer than you should”“Who?” “My sister… who else…”“If she’s your sister… then you better chill out bro just admiring God’s gift to nature” “Admiring?”“Yes… I am…”“Careful… try not to admire too much… especially if what or whom you’re admiring is not yours”“Are you her brother or her fiancée, you keep talking like you own her or something”I st
Lucien’s POV“Natty? Are you in here?” There was no response from her for some minutes then she stepped out of one of the rest room doors…“Lucien? What are you doing here? It’s the lady’s rest room…”“Yes, I know… don’t pretend like you don’t want me here…I can’t forgive what you did back there…”“What did I do?” She asked mockingly “You know exactly what you did…” I paused before pulling her towards myself… as she stumbles forward, I caught her just in time“You’re lucky no one’s in here”“Am I? You’re the lucky one here…”“Oh really… didn’t your dad suspect you coming here right after I did?”“I don’t care if they did…you’ve been tempting me back there…” I sighed as I turned her to face the mirror while I stood behind her… moved her hair to the side before kissing the crook of her neck…then she let out a faint sigh as she gripped the edge of the sink tighter…“I… wasn’t tempting you to…I was just keeping my toes busy… I do it all the time…”“Is that so?”“It’s not my fault you hav
Lucien’s POVI picked the recording chip up once more before slipping it into the drawer of my desk, destroying it would only get rid of evidence…Keeping it might help me figure out who planted it.After making sure the box was hidden properly beneath my bed, I walked over to my desk and switched on the monitor connected to Natalie's room.She was sitting on the edge of her bed, absentmindedly flipping through a magazine. She looked calm before a knock came from her door.I leaned forward to check who it was …Father…Although I couldn't hear everything clearly, I could read enough from their expressions.After a few moments, he spoke more clearly."We're leaving this evening." Natalie looked confused."For what?" she replied calmly "A business trip." She looked at him suspiciously before nodding."...Okay." Father gave a satisfied nod and left her room."So he's taking all of us." I murmured That didn't sit right with me…business trips usually involved executives not me, not Natalie…
Lucien’s POV“Is she the reason why you hurt your best friend?” That single question from Camille made my blood boil… I tightened my fist and turned to face her“Who?” “Xavier…His people said he arrived home late… and with a lot of hand injuries…”“…And you think that I have something to do with it?”“I also heard he was seen with Natalie before the day he got the injury…”“Is that all?”“What happened between them?” she asked glaring at me “How am I supposed to know that?”“Because my sources tell me your car was also around when they went out on their little stroll”“Well then… tell your sources to do a better job in doing their research, it will really save you the stress of coming to my room and pointing fingers at me… now if you’d excuse me I would really appreciate it if you leave… I have many important things to do and I don’t have talking to you… on the list”“No need to be so rude about it, it was just a harmless question”“The word harmless… already sounds like a threat c
Natalie’s POV My door flew open, and Lucien just walks in, I panicked then threw the locket in my drawer before he could see it, there will be too many questions I wouldn’t have the answer to. “Don’t you ever know how to knock, what if… oh yes you have… but still do me a favor and knock next tim
Lucien’s POV As the gunshot echoed through the halls, I dropped to my knees to pick up Natalie, there was a lot of blood, a part of me prayed it wasn't Natalie's blood, while the other prayed it was Malachi's, hoping he'd bleed to death. He made a very bad mistake by touching you what's mine
Natalie’s POV I never thought this day would ever come, a day when Lucien was this close to me and even on the same bed as me, the maid left after dropping off the message then I let out a sigh of relief as I peeked under my duvet… “Get the fuck out Lucien! What the fuck were you thinking?” He sl
Natalie’s POV There was no way I could duck and hide because he was already close enough, he could hear my breathing get heavy, my heart drummed in my chest as I stood still thinking of what excuse to tell him. “Natalie why are you going through my stuff?” “I’m sorry I didn’t see anything I’l
