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

    ...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 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

    ...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

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 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

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

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!

    ...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

She held onto Vladimir’s arm, her fingers light but firm, feeling the tension in his muscles. He was nervous—he always was in places like this, surrounded by wealth, power, and eyes that scrutinized every move. But Adeline? She thrived in it. The flashing cameras surrounded them like fireflies, capturing every second, every expression, every unspoken promise of power that dripped from her presence.She smiled, the picture of effortless grace, her features unreadable yet captivating.

The absence of Adeline sending wave of loneliness through my whole body. My patience had worn thin, my mind clouded with a dangerous mix of frustration and unease. The moment Christian answered, his voice was sharp and commanding.“Get in here. Now.”The call ended abruptly, leaving the room in an eerie silence. Outside the tall windows, the city lights flickered, oblivious to the storm brewing inside my mind. Why was she doing this? And the hatred in her eyes sent chills down my spine as I refused to remember how painful it was. I turned away, inhaling deeply in an attempt to control the fury simmering beneath my composed exterior.The door to my office burst open, and Christian strode in, his brow furrowed with concern. He had known that my summons meant trouble, but the sheer intensity in my eyes sent a wave of apprehension through him.“What happen

Every fiber of my being screamed at me to keep walking, to put as much distance between myself and Luciano as possible but my knees refused to listen. But before I could take another step, a strong hand wrapped around my wrist.Before I could even react, Luciano spun me around in one swift, forceful motion, pulling me against his chest. I barely had time to gasp before his arm tightened around my waist, locking me in place, trapping me against him.“Luciano—” I started, my voice sharp with warning. My eyes widened at his action and my heart racing at his touch and stubbornness. He didn’t let me finish.His lips crashed onto mine with a force that stole the air from my lungs.I froze. It was so sudden that I could not process what had happened. My fingers instinctively pressed against his chest, my entire body going rigid. The kiss felt too…… emotional that I could fee

    ...ADELINEI took a deep breath, the cool night air filling my lungs as I placed a steadying hand on the open car door. The hard part was done now I had to face the hardest one yet I knew I could do it. The mansion loomed behind me, its towering structure casting a long shadow under the dim glow of the estate lights. The mansion I once called my home was nothing in my eyes now but a mere architect that I had to burn down. I could feel Vladimir’s eyes on me, his concern tangible in the air between us.“Where are you going?” he asked, his voice low but firm. His grip on my wrist was firm as If he hated to let go of me once again. I turned to face him, my expression unreadable. I wasn’t sure if it was the exhaustion settling in my bones or the storm of emotions swirling in my chest, but I knew one thing—this was the end of something.“I’m coming,” I said softly, nodding once, as if that alone could reassure him.Vladimir hesitated. His dark eyes searched mine, looking for something

    ...ADELINE The room was filled with tension as the evening wore on. I sat on one of the plush couches and my posture poised, hands resting calmly on my lap. Vladimir, as ever, remained beside me, his dark presence an impenetrable wall of silence. His cold eyes scanned the room, offering nothing of warmth or invitation. His body language was unmistakable—he didn’t care about the people around him, nor did he make any attempt to hide his indifference. After what he’d been through, it was a sure outcome. Luciano, seated across from me, was unable to mask the simmering irritation in his gaze. He glared at me with intensity, as though trying to read the thoughts hidden behind my composed expression. I knew he had questions to ask and he could not do that in front of his family and it made me laugh. A man who can’t accept me in front of his family can do nothing. How could he be loyal. His eyes narrowed as they briefly flickered over to Vladimir, then back to me. The animosity bet

The air was thick with expectation, and even before she had fully crossed the threshold, she knew—they had been waiting and she was prepared to give them. It was as if the walls themselves whispered her name. Luciano’s men had already spread the word, and in a matter of seconds, the entire house was set into motion that she was here. The once-familiar halls no longer felt welcoming. The warmth she had once associated with this place had long since turned cold.She took another step, but the moment she did, the heavy wooden doors swung open behind her, and a rush of hurried footsteps filled the space.Adeline stopped.Aurora was the first to reach her, barreling toward her with tear-filled eyes, wrapping her arms around her in a desperate hug. “Adeline!” she breathed, holding her tightly as if afraid she would disappear again.But Ade

No matter how much I tried to distract myself, no matter how many deep breaths I took, I couldn’t escape him.Luciano.His name alone sent a shiver down my spine, and the mere thought of him had me body betraying me. I had needs and I wanted him. I hated that how much of an effect he had on me. My mind was occupied by him and my body …… craved him and it messed me. I could see him so clearly in my mind—those piercing blue eyes that always seemed to look straight through me, the sharp cut of his jaw, the way his muscles flexed beneath his crisp shirts, his powerful presence that both terrified and consumed me.I had spent so long fighting for his love, so long yearning for even the smallest sliver of his affection. And now, even after everything that had happened, even after all the lies and betrayals, …… I still wanted him.My breath hitched as a slow, burning

  • BETWEEN US    NO LOVE

    ...ADELINE I sat curled up on the couch, my arms wrapped around my legs as I buried my face in my knees. The dim glow of the lamp beside me cast long shadows across the room, but I barely noticed. My thoughts were a tangled mess, circling the same painful truth over and over again. The image of Vladimir getting tortured made me want to end my life in guilt for not being there for him but …… the pain i also felt for was …… myself and ……Luciano.For so many years, I had tried. I had fought for his love, endured his coldness, his silence, his indifference. I had stood by his side, hoping—praying—that one day, he would see me, truly seeme. That he would love me the way I had loved him.But after everything I had learned… after the truth had come crashing down around me like an avalanche, burying everything I once believed in, I could no longer see a future with him. I could not see …… myself with him. Not anymore. I lifted my head slightly, exhaling a deep sigh, my heart heavy wit

Two fucking days since Adeline had disappeared, and he was unraveling by the second.His usually calculated mind—his greatest weapon—felt clouded with a storm of emotions he couldn’t control. He had spent years mastering the art of dominance, of always being three steps ahead. But now? Now he felt like he was walking blindly into the unknown, and it was driving him insane.His fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white, his pulse a violent drum against his skin.
