...ADELINE A gasp escaped my lips as I tried to move my bruised elbow. It was such a sharp pain that made me freeze in my spot for seconds. “ are you okay? “Aurora asked as she carefully sat next to me, concerned. I looked at her and took my time to answer. “ yeah ““ everyone was so worried. You should be more careful “I looked away and the thoughts of Luciano flashed in my mind. I had been awake for four hours now and he was nowhere to be seen. He did not even come to check on me which somewhere broke my heart. “ Luciano “His name sent shivers down my spine and I looked at her as she fidgeted her fingers nervously. “ he had been out since you lost consciousness “It hit me. Right where it hurt the most. My heart. My hand slowly clutched against my chest as I took a deep breath. “ okay leave everything, you should eat now. You haven’t eaten since you have woken up ““ I’m not hungry “I lost my appetite. He just …… can’t avoid me like this. He did not even come to check
...ADELINE A sigh escaped my lips as I finished telling her about Luciano and his phone call with an unknown woman last night. Aurora looked at me and held my hand in hers as if trying to console me but before she could say anything, she frowned. “ what was her name again? “I felt my heart clench as I remembered the name he called the girl. “ Elena “She thought something for a moment before her eyes met mine. “ I don’t think it’s true “I looked up at her and a sudden feeling of hope rushed through my whole body making me sit up quickly wanting to know what was cooking in her mind. “ what makes you think that? ““ oh babe. As far as I know, no female works with him in his office nor has he ever had any scandal. He was never ever seen with a girl nor he talked about something with the family and suddenly, he’s going out on dates “I shook my head. Her explanation didn’t help. Maybe he had been in a relationship with someone and wanted it to be a secret. Before I could open my
...LUCIANO I watched with an intense gaze as she looked up at me with her daring eyes making me look at her with something bubbling inside my chest. The way those words rolled off of her tongue made me think about the things I did with her. “ Adeline- “I called her name with a warning tone but she rolled her eyes stepping away before sexily flipping her hairs. “ I don’t need your permission and you are aware where I am going so chill “She spoke before turning around giving me a view of her beautiful long hairs flawlessly flying in air and she gave me a wink before walking off and I found my gaze stuck on her ass. My gaze travelled from her long soft legs to her perfectly shaped ass and then to her waist making me want to grip her and push her over the car and take her but I knew I should have those thoughts. I inhaled sharply trying to calm my nerves that were burning to feel her. I clenched my fists and watched as the car drove away. I sighed and before I could say anything
...ADELINE “ Luciano wants to see you “That’s what Christian told me when he came to get me from the restaurant. I knew this was gonna be so scary but aurora had to plan the most hard thing to deal with. In about less than ten minutes, I was walking towards Luciano’s office while everyone gave me a tense look. I gulped and looked at Christian but he remained serious never disclosing anything about Luciano. He opened the door to Luciano’s office and I stepped inside. He was staring at me with that same deadly look that I was scared of. I tried not to appear too affected but I was shaken to the core. His hairs were messed up, tie messed up and shirt’s front two buttons were ripped off. I heard the door closed behind me and I gulped before fidgeting with my fingers. “ y-you asked for me? ““ who was he? “Was the first thing she asked me. I blinked not understanding why he was being so aggressive like that. I knew he was gonna be mad seeing a picture of me with any man and it wa
...ADELINE My whole body trembled at his touch. My body too sensitive to bear anything. He grabbed my chin and lifted my head to look at him as he leaned over and attached his lips on my neck making me gasp. “ ahh~ fuck ! ““ not yet, little girl “He pushed me back onto the couch as my back laid flat on the cold leather. My lips quivered as he pushed my legs apart and settled in between them before …… grabbing the chain of the necklace that he was eyeing at the whole time with his outrageous look. “ why don’t we show your little friend what we do with his gift for you? “My eyes widened as I struggled to process what he just said but my eyes rolled back as he touched my pussy making me arch my back. I inhaled sharply as if there was a lack of oxygen in my lungs. He smirked and circled his thumb on my sensitive clit making my legs to shake so badly. I had already cummed twice and it was all too much. He leaned down and rolled his tongue over my hardened nipple and grazed his te
...ADELINE “ Asher “I smiled, walking over to him more like limping after what happened last night. He quickly rushed over to me and looked at me concerned. “ what happened? Why are you walking like that? Are you not healed- “I smiled and shook my head, wanting him to calm down first. “ I’m fine ““ how did you fall? ““ well, our baby being clumsy “I rolled my eyes at aurora’s words as she slightly nudged me making just smile. Asher held my hand so carefully, not wanting to hurt me and sighed. “ I was so scared ““ we can see “Aurora remarked making me want to hit her head but she giggled. “ where’s calux ? “Aurora asked, looking around to find calux as both of them stay together all the time. “ he is waiting “Asher offered me his arm and I chuckled before grabbing his arm. It was evening and we came to get our coffee but aurora had called them over once again because Asher had been insisting on meeting. “ where’s your necklace? “I looked up at him and my cheeks turn
...LUCIANOThe car ride came to a halt making me look at her. She had ignored me the whole ride and something tugged at my heart but I kept it neutral. She opened the car door and I stepped out from my side walking over to her side before picking her up in bridal style. She gasped and clenched my shoulders. “ Luciano “I looked at her with my stern gaze and I noticed her breath hitched and she lowered her head. I shook my head slightly at her before walking inside. On my way, I ordered one of my men to get the doctor. As soon as I entered in the living room, Isabella was the first one to notice and she quickly stood up and approached us , a concerned look on her face for Adeline. “ what happened? “I placed Adeline on the couch and Isabella looked at me with confusion. “ from now on, Adeline and aurora wont be going out alone. There will always be Braxton or Aaron with them “As soon as I finished my words, Adeline’s head shot up as she glared at me with those beautiful orbs t
...ADELINE My eyes widened and stung with the tears slowly brimming in my eyes. I stared at the news running through the channel. The news of ……… Luciano getting married to …… Elena Gomez, the stunning model and a big personality. My heart clenched as I stumbled backwards feeling my knees giving up as suddenly …… aurora held me. “ Adeline. Hold yourself together “How? How could I be fine when the man I ever loved was getting married to someone else ? I shook my head as a tear dropped out of my eye making me fall slowly onto the floor as aurora sat next to me. “ Adeline-““ did he had to do this? “I knew he was not in love with that model. No way he was. He was all doing this because of us. He didn’t want to accept what we had and his priority was family and power. “ babe. Calm down. We will talk it out- ““ talk it out? “I scoffed looking at aurora in disbelief. “ how? And what is there to talk about? From the start he had rejected me. He didn’t want to make me his anythi
...AUTHOR’S POV Luciano moved through the dense woods with careful steps, his arms cradling Adeline against his chest. Her head rested on his shoulder, her breaths soft and steady as she slept. The moonlight filtered through the canopy of leaves above, casting silvery streaks across their path. The forest was eerily quiet, save for the occasional rustle of leaves underfoot.Luciano’s jaw was tight, his mind a whirlwind of thoughts. The weight of Adeline in his arms wasn’t a burden—he carried her as though she weighed nothing. Yet the sight of her like this, so vulnerable, stirred something fierce and protective within him. She was safe for now, but for how long?The car came into view through the trees, and Luciano quickened his pace, careful not to jostle her. Christian was leaning against the hood, his phone in hand, scanning the area as Luciano approached. Without a word, Christian opened the back door, and Luciano gently placed Adeline onto the backseat. Her head lolled t
...ADELINE I gasped and my eyes turned teary not because of the pain but the pleasure. His hand gripped my hair, fingers buried deep into my hair as he controlled the movement of my head. His cock thrusting in and out of my mouth before he rammed it in deeper, shoving his cock deep into my throat. I gagged terribly,my fingers on his thighs digging into him as I gripped tightly. He pulled his cock out, all sir=eared with drool. I coughed badly but only for a few seconds before he slapped my cheek with his cock impatient to get back into my mouth. My lips parted and he shoved inside of my mouth again and I gagged again only for a tear to roll down my cheek.“ fuck! You’re so sexy, baby! “My nipples were erect, so fucking hard and my entire body was even hotter than I ever knew it to be. The thought of doing it in a fucking cave and when we’re being followed, was something I did not added to my bucket list but now that It was real, I fucking loved it. “ you feel so good! “He d
...LUCIANO “ Adeline “I called her name as she softly blinked her sparkling dark orbs making her look so beautiful. Her chest heaved up and down as she started breathing heavily. I could feel her hot breath fanning my face making me gulp. She gasped as I snaked my arm around her waist and pulled her close as she slowly wrapped her arms around my neck, her fingers gripping my hair softly making me imagine all the wild thoughts. I pulled her on my lap before my hand traveled down to her bare thighs and inside her thighs. “ l-Luciano- “Her eyes shut and her lips parted as she moaned softly. “ its daddy for you “I whispered as she clenched her fist on my collar now. My hand moved to her panties and touched her soft petals making her whimper. “ I need you “She moaned and a small smile crept on my lips. She needed me as I much as I needed her. I held her waist and in a second, her panties were off and on the ground. “ daddy “She whimpered feeling impatient making me smirk as
...ADELINE I leaned against a rough bark of a tree, my chest heaving as I struggled to catch my breath. We had been running for sometime but I did not know what to do anymore. There was no exit, nothing and We were lost. I wiped sweat from my brow and turned to Luciano, who had stopped a few paces ahead of me.He stood rigid, his back partially turned to me, one hand pressed tightly against his forearm. His jaw was clenched, the muscles in his face taut as though he was biting back a scream. I quickly straightened, my breath catching for a different reason now.“Luciano?” I called, my voice wavering as I stepped closer. His head snapped toward me, but he quickly averted his gaze, shaking his head as though to dismiss my concern.“It’s nothing,” he muttered, his voice strained, but the slight quiver in it betrayed him.My brows furrowed and my heart pounded, a mixture of residual adrenaline and a growing sense of dread. I took another step forward, my eyes narrowing as I studied
...LUCIANO I looked in my right direction to see Adeline was running toward me, her hair disheveled, her face streaked with tears, her expression a mixture of fear and desperation.My heart felt a bit relieved finally able to see her as my heavy breathing begin to calm down. “Adeline,” I whispered, relief and anger battling for dominance as I rushed toward her.She didn’t slow down, throwing herself into my arms as she wrapped her arms around my neck. I caught her, lifting her effortlessly as I held her close. Her body trembled against mine, and I could feel her uneven breaths as she buried her face in my shoulder.I closed my eyes inhaling her scent to calm my throbbing veins that had wanted to feel her since she disappeared. “Are you okay?” I asked, my voice was low but urgent as I pulled back slightly to look at her tear-streaked face.She shook her head, sobbing as she stuttered, “I… I think I killed him.”My eyes narrowed, confusion flashing across my face as I tried to
...ADELINE I was sitting on the cold wooden floor, my knees pulled tightly to my chest. My chest heaved up and down and I was exhausted, my attempts to escape having failed miserably. My arms trembled as I hugged myself, the frustration and fear weighing heavily on me. I wanted to run away. To get out of here quickly. The silence in the room was maddening, the ticking of an old clock the only sound accompanying my racing thoughts.I did not know if my family or Luciano would be able to find me because even I did not know where I was. It was too dark outside for me to even see anything. Two hours had passed since Asher had left me alone. I had screamed, banged on the walls, tried every possible way to unlock the door, but nothing worked. Now, I sat slumped in defeat. My body drained but my mind still whirring with desperation.I closed my eyes and hugged myself tighter. Suddenly, the door creaked open. My head snapped up, my eyes narrowing as I saw Asher walk in, a tray of food
...ADELINE I blinked my eyes, my vision blurry as I took in my surroundings. My head was throbbing and a groan escaped my lips. It hurts. I blinked my eyes to get a clear vision and looked around. It was an unfamiliar room. The thoughts sent shivers down my spine. The room was dimly lit, the soft glow of a single bulb illuminating the wooden walls and modest furniture. It smelled faintly of earth and old wood, and the faint sound of wind whistled outside. I froze as the realization dawned—this wasn’t the city. I was …… kidnapped. My heart pounded like a drum in my chest as I tried to piece together what had happened. Memories came flooding back, vivid and sharp: leaving the restaurant with Asher, the argument in the parking lot, his hand gripping mine, forcing me into his car. The water he gave me to drink and then I passed out- my eyes widened in horror.“Asher…” I whispered to myself, my voice trembling. He is so dead. Why would he even do such thing when I was going with h
...AUTHOR’S POVThe phone buzzed, breaking the heavy silence of Luciano’s office. His sharp eyes darted toward the screen before picking up.“Valentino,” he said curtly, leaning back in his leather chair.“Luciano,” Valentino’s voice was tense, bordering on frantic. “Something happened. Adeline… a boy took her.”Luciano sat up immediately, his spine rigid as his heart skipped a beat. “What? What do you mean, took her?”“They left the restaurant together. It wasn’t normal,” Valentino explained quickly. “She didn’t seem comfortable, and it looked like they knew each other. I thought it was odd, so I called you.”Luciano’s hand tightened around the phone. His mind raced as his protective instincts surged. “Did you see his face? Who is he? Where the fuck were your men? Why did you let her go? ”“ I do not know him. I did not want to let her go but she stopped me knowing it will lead to a big mess ” Valentino admitted. “ Something’s not right.”The line went dead as Luciano sla
...ADELINE All eyes were on us as Asher dragged me out of the restaurant. My thoughts were messed u as to how come Asher knew and why the fuck he was behaving like such a …… jerk. Asher’s grip on my arm was firm, his strides purposeful as he led me out and to his car parked.“Asher, stop!” I hissed, trying to tug my arm free. He did not look like the Asher i knew or the Asher I was friends with. “What are you doing?”He didn’t answer, his jaw clenched tight, his entire body radiating frustration. He turned to me as his body towered mine. “Asher, I said stop!” I repeated, yanking harder until he finally halted and glared at me. His eyes were blazing, the anger behind them almost tangible. What was wrong with him? “What am I doing?” he snapped, his voice sharp. “No, Adeline—what are you doing? Sitting in there with him like everything’s fine, like you’re not engaged, like I don’t exist!”I flinched slightly at his tone but quickly recovered, my own frustration bubbling to the
