Romans & histoires Luce Lu Leaked

“We’ll handle the press. Go.” Luca nodded once. Started to move. But before he crossed the threshold, he looked back. Asher was still standing there. In the smoke. In the ruin. Watching him. And Luca knew, no matter what came next, that the lie they’d built between them had just crumbled. For the world to see. By midnight, the footage was everywhere. Grainy, overexposed, taken from three different angles, but unmistakable. The Virelli Gala Breach.

Wu: So no one's gonna talk about how epic last night was? Jacq: Was that before or after you bailed on us? Me: Y'all are driving me nuts! Rubs: Well, let me take your mind of this. Me: thanks rubs. Rubs: Dee's video leaked. Lol Me: Not exactly my type of news but that could work? Wu: Content? Maria: oh yeah. After the whole party last night. Lol. Jacq: Please don't tell me nudes Maria: worse. A sextape

I hesitated for only a breath before answering, because Celeste didn’t get to train me into punishing the people trying to do the right thing. “Ari,” Luca said, voice low, “I heard she came to your door.” “Yes,” I replied. “I’m sorry,” he began. “Don’t,” I said quickly. “Not for her choices.” Silence. Then Luca exhaled once, controlled. “Today is the access cut,” he said. “Yes,” I replied. “Ari,” he said carefully, “she’s going to try to move fast before the cut hits. She’ll try to copy, leak, stash—whatever she can.”

“I know. But he is going to force your hand. He already tried tonight.” Leo reached out and took Kai’s hand. Their fingers laced together. For a moment the only sound was the water against the dock and the distant sirens in the city. Then Luca’s voice cut through the quiet. “We have a problem.” They turned around. Luca was holding the laptop. The screen showed a live news broadcast. The uncle was standing in front of a podium with several high-ranking Council members behind him. He looked straight into the camera.

“She just threatened me, saying she would leak the webcam video where we planned Alejandro’s downfall. She's trying to burn everything I have worked for to the ground.” “And you think removing her won’t do the same?” “She’s already on fire. I'm simply choosing not to get burnt by her madness.” There was a pause. I could hear the sound of a lighter flicking. I could tell Lucian was smoking a cigarette. He always smokes whenever he is thinking. “Fine,” Lucian said. “I’ll send you the number.” “I trust it's untraceable?” “Always.” A soft ping hit my phone. Number received.

she said, “we do it together.” He met her eyes. “Always.” The extraction was quiet. No weapons. No confrontation. Just timing and precision. Eli was weak but conscious when Luca reached him. His eyes widened in recognition. “You should not be here,” Eli whispered. “I know,” Luca replied. “That is why I am.” They moved him quickly. By the time the committee realized what had happened, Eli was gone. And Luca was everywhere. Footage leaked. Edited. Curated. Images of him moving through restricted zones. His history resurrected. Old fears sharpened.

That part didn’t sound rehearsed. Luna staggered a step forward, digging something out of her coat pocket. A flash drive. “It’s all here,” she said. “The real ledgers. The calls. Maurice’s voice. Ivory’s passwords. Everything.” I took it slowly. My fingers brushed hers. Cold. Shaking. Before I could say another word, a sharp sound sliced through the still moment. Her voice dropped lower. “They’re not just running. They’re burning everything behind them. Deleting records. Killing ties. Anyone who’s seen too much, who’s been close—”

The aura radiating off Lucian made Chloe instinctively take a step back in fear. "Lu... Lucian?" Called Chloe with a shaky voice. "I know it's you Chloe" Lucian murmured, leaning in close. "You were the person who leaked the video through a private server" At this, chloe’s face drained of all colors. Instinctively she backed away almost stumbling to the ground. "I... I don't know what you're talking about. Why would you think that?" "Enough!" The glass in Lucian's hand was smashed to the ground with a brutal force that made it's pieces to shatter to the ground.

The crowd parted. Lulu entered. Her face pale. Her hair messy. Her designer outfit clashing badly today. The students laughed. Snapped pictures. Some threw fake dollar bills at her. “Yacht girl!” “Sugar baby!” “Who’s your daddy, Lulu?” Lulu screamed. “Shut up! Shut up!” She grabbed a phone from a student, smashing it on the floor. But the videos were already everywhere. The damage was done. Elena stood frozen. Shocked.

“The Syndicate is bigger than you can imagine. You’re in way over your heads, and I’m your best chance at surviving this.” Maya, standing beside Zane, spoke up. “If that’s true, why now? Why not come to us earlier?” Luca’s gaze flicked to her, his expression softening slightly. “Because now, they’ve made it personal. And I don’t take kindly to being betrayed.” --- A Shocking Revelation Before Zane could respond, Luca reached into his pocket slowly, his movements deliberate to avoid alarming the group. He pulled out a small USB drive and held it up.
