Chapter 97

Leah's POV

One of the 50 bedrooms in the lake house was changed into a treatment room, where Dr. Monk kept all of his expensive medical equipment.

The door had been shut for the past 2 hours.

I put down the third cup of coffee on the table and asked the maid to bring me the fourth one. She looked hesitant.

"Miss Lewyn, can I bring you some lemonade instead?" she whispered.

I stared at her. My brain wasn't functioning af

His gaze fixed on the wall, contemplating, as if he had just stumbled upon a secret that had eluded him for a long time. I could tell his mind was racing with the implications of what I just told him."Jalin... What's going on?" I lifted my head to look at him.His chiseled jawline blocked

But one thing I do know is that I will never ever hurt you.""I know, Leah," Finn said in a quiet voice."But I can't trust you if you don't tell

  Leah's POV Just when I was trying so hard to process this, my phone buzzed. An unknown number. Feeling disturbed, I picked up my phone. "Hey, Leah! It's Damian! Do you remember me? I'm the delivery guy from Mediland!" "Oh, yes. Sure. Damian! I haven't heard from you for a long time. Is everything OK with you?" Damian's voice sounded full of energy, "Yeah! Uma finally agrees to give me some days off, and I'm in town now! I don't know anyone in Skagen City, so I thought to myself, why not give you a call and ask you out for dinner?" I hesitated and said, "Listen, Damian, I really want to go out with you tonight. It's just I've been caught up with something and I really can't.." "Oh, OK. I totally understand." Damian's voice sounded disappointed. He wasn't the kind of person who was able to conceal his true feelings. "It's OK. I feel ashamed for calling you. What's on my mind? Calling you just like this. I'm so sorry. I'm hanging up right now..." "No... No! Damian! Don't hang up!

  Leah's POV Damian stood tall. His posture was strong and confident. As we hit the dance floor, he took a step forward, extending his arm towards me. I stood before him with my eyes fixed on his. I was wearing a flowing red dress that accentuates the curves of my body. I had never thought that I would wear this dress while dancing tango in front of a hundred people with a man that I barely knew. My hair was styled elegantly, pinned up to reveal my slender neck. "I love your hair, Leah. All you need to do is to relax and go with the flow," Damian lowered his head and whispered into my ear. I took a deep breath and placed my hand on his outstretched arm with my fingers lightly brushing against his skin. As the music intensified, Damian began to lead me in a series of intricate steps. He moved with precision and grace with his feet gliding across the floor as if in a trance. I had no other option but to follow his lead. To my surprise, my body was perfectly in sync with his. That

  Leah's POV "No, Damian, please listen to me..." I whispered. Damian didn't say anything. He pushed Lucas away and walked out of the restaurant with everyone staring at him. Feeling desperate, I gave Lucas a dark look and chased Damian out of the restaurant. "Damian, please stop and listen to me!" I tried to pull Damian's arm and stop him, but he threw my hand away. "Don't touch me, Leah! I know a rich girl like you would never be the right match for a poor boy like me. Go back to your husband, Leah. And do me a favor. Do not say yes to a man next time they ask you out for dinner if you're married! It makes me look ridiculous! Shame on you!" Damian barked at me. Feeling heartbroken, I lowered my head. Tears of shame dropped from my eyes. People passing by stopped to look at us. I had never been openly accused like this. How am I going to explain to Damian that I got rejected by an asshole who ignored me for five years and now he came back to me, trying to drag me down and spoil e

  Leah's POV "I wear nothing when I sweep the floor, Mr. Mayor," I replied, struggling to hold back the disgust. "I always bend down on the floor and wipe the floor on my knees. You know, nothing can do things better than this pair of hands." The mayor dropped his cigar in his hand while staring at me with his mouth slightly open. He swallowed the lump in his throat and said in a dry voice, "Miss Lewyn, I would give you everything you want if you clean the floor in my office right now. Just take off your clothes and get on your knees, clean this filthy floor of mine..." "Really? Just cleaning the floor? Don't you want something extra?" I asked. The mayor looked overwhelmed. He grabbed a feather duster in his hand and moved toward me. "Miss Lewyn, show me some mercy. If you could use this duster to dust my carpet, I would really appreciate it. My carpet is so dirty. And you can use the handle to spank the cushions of mine. Spank it hard, will you?" the mayor said with saliva drippin

Turned out to be ex-cons crew running protection rackets." He leaned across the red vinyl booth, eyes dark as burned coffee. "I'm no saint, but I don't peddle drugs to kids. I used to keep my pride, trust me, I really did... till Nana's med bills hit." His throat worked like he'd swallowed glass. "Pride's just dead weight when your world's sinking, feel me?""But the girls, man..." I trailed off, the words sticking like a bee."Wake up!" His fist hit the table, silverware jumping. "You think this shit disappears 'cause it skeeves you out? My girls eat regularly. Don't get beat black-and-blue like some dollar-store pimps allow." His finger stabbed the air between us.

  Leah's POVThe supermarket fluorescents buzzed like angry hornets. I trailed Liam past pyramids of canned beans, his boots squeaking against linoleum. He moved like a feral cat—all coiled tension and sideways glances. The discount rack called to him like a siren."Jackpot," he muttered, scooping armfuls of spaghetti boxes into the cart. The packaging screamed ITALIANA AUTENTICA! in Comic Sans. I snorted. Authentic as his leather jacket's "genuine pleather" tag."Grandma's got expensive taste in hospice care, huh?" I nudged a box with my elbow. The noodles rattled like dried bones. "Why not buy her real food now that you're rolling in mobster cash?"He didn't look up. "Nonna'd skin me alive if I wasted good dollars on truffle oil when Barilla's ninety cents." The cart shuddered as he dumped another box. "Besides, spaghetti's her love language. Ate it every Thursday with Papa Enzo before the cirrhosis got him."I let my claws retract just enoug

  Leah's POVLiam stared. "What the hell are you?"I wiped my hands on his jacket. "Hungry."He laughed then, wild and unhinged. "You're crazy.""Crazy enough to fix your problems. If you obey.""Obey?" He raised an eyebrow. "That's kinky."I stared at him. "You want to save your grandmother? Stop playing gangster. You're a joke."His smile died. "Yeah? And what's your deal? Some kinda runaway mob wife?""Like you can't even imagine." I released him.Silence.He rubbed his neck. "Fine. What's the plan, boss?"I glanced at the photo. The old woman's eyes glared back, unyielding. "First, we get some money.""From where?"-Vinny's nightclub reminded me of Sheridan Club. It was a cacophony of neon lights and pounding bass, the kind of place where secrets were buried under the weight of too much noise and too many bodies.I walked in with Liam trailing behind me, his face still bruised

• Goodbye, my mate   Chapter 217

  Leah's POVThe first thing I remembered was the cold. Not winter's bite, but the slick, oily chill of concrete against bare skin. My knees were scraped raw. My breath came in ragged bursts, fogging the air like gun smoke. I pressed my palms flat against the alley wall, felt the grime cling to my fingertips.Naked. The word slithered through my skull, venomous. Not just my body - my pride flayed open, left to rot beside dumpsters reeking of stale beer and regret.What the hell has happened to me? I remembered stabbing Lucas in the chest and walking into the flames.Now here I am. Naked in some sort of back alley.Voices slithered from the street."Lookie here... fresh meat. Yummy..." a man slurred. Three shadows lurched into the alley, their laughter wet and jagged. One held a bottle by its neck; the glass caught the neon buzz of the bar sign above. Red Rabbit Tavern. The letters bled crimson down the brick.Is this... human world?

  Lycidas' POVLucian shook his head, his eyes closing as if the effort of speaking was too much.Late afternoon light slashed through barred windows, gilding dust motes that swirled like trapped spirits above Lucian's bed. My brother's once-indomitable frame now sank into feather pillows as if the mattress conspired to swallow him whole. His labored breaths syncopated with the grandfather clock's metronome tick-tock, tick-tockfrom the western wall - a sound that had scored every pivotal moment of our cursed lineage. I counted them as one counts heartbeats before execution: thirty-seven ticks since he'd last spoken. Seventy-three since I'd entered this tomb disguised as a king's quarters.When Lucian finally stirred, his eyelids lifted like rusted portcullises. Sunlight caught the silver threads in his black beard - premature aging, or the Moon Goddess' fingerprints? "Lycidas," he exhaled, the name disintegrating into a wet cough. I watched his thro

  Lucian's POVJalin seized my chin, wrenching my face back to the mirror. "Are you waiting for me to dress you, Your Majesty?" His hands slid down, slow and possessive, unbuttoning my shirt with deliberate malice. The fabric parted, exposing my sunken chest, and his gloved fingers lingered, tracing the jut of my ribs. I grabbed his wrists, my frail grip trembling. "I'm tired," I whispered, voice a broken thread. "I don't want to see anyone today."Jalin sneered and tore the shirt from my shoulders, seams splitting like skin. He shoved me from the wheelchair, and I crashed to the floor, legs limp, a puppet with slashed strings. "Your brother's coming," he hissed, looming over me. "If you greet him like this - pathetic, lifeless - he'll think I've neglected my duties." His eyes burned with that familiar madness, a sadistic gleam that promised torment.I shrank back, breath shallow, rasping, "Jalin, please don't…" But he didn't pause. His hand fisted my hair,

  Lycidas' POVI looked down at him, my jaw tight. "If you want the thing between us to work," I said, my voice low and dangerous, "you need to know some ground rules. The first and most important one is that you stay the fuckout of my family business. Do you understand?"He met my gaze, his eyes calm, unflinching. "Yes, Your Highness, I understand. But the thing is, since you entered the Kingdom, all your actions have been under the control of the Court. They reported your arrival to His Majesty, who summoned me last night..." I grabbed him by the throat, slamming him against the mirror. The glass cracked under the force, shards raining down around us. His face was scratched, blood trickling down his cheek, but he didn't struggle."Did you go and see my brother last night?! Did he fuck you?!" I roared.He whispered, "Your Highness, Lucian is sick now. He didn't...""If you mention my brother's name again," I snarled, "I'

  Lycidas' POVI woke to the sting of sunlight slicing through the heavy drapes, the kind of light that felt like a mockery after the night I’d had. My head throbbed, a dull ache that seemed to echo the chaos of my thoughts. I rubbed my eyes, squinting at the room around me. It was obscenely luxurious, every surface polished to a blinding sheen, every piece of furniture carved with ornate, gaudy details. I sat up, the silk sheets slipping off my bare skin, and let out a bitter laugh. Finn's bedroom?The place reeked of excess, of a desperate attempt to mask something hollow. I swung my legs over the edge of the bed, my feet sinking into the plush carpet. The air smelled faintly of cedar and something metallic—blood, maybe, or the ghost of it. I stood, stretching the stiffness from my limbs, and made my way to the bathroom. The shower was scalding, the water slamming into my skin like punishment. I leaned against the tiled wall, let

  Finn's POVLycidas didn't buy it. His clawed hand seized my hair, wrenching my head back so hard my neck screamed, and I gasped, the pretense slipping as pain flared."Fucking slut, is that all they'd taught you?!" he spat, raking his claws down my spine, tearing skin, spilling blood. I whimpered - half act, half truth—and he sneered, pressing his heat against me, his cock a brutal threat between my thighs. "You're a fucking disgrace. A whimpering slut who'd spread for any cock that paid."I clenched my jaw, nodding like I hated it, but the words sank into me, heavy and hot. "Yes, Your Highness. But now, I am yours..." I choked out, still clinging to the lie of reluctance, but then he slammed me face-first into the hardwood floor, his hands pinning my neck, and the air left me. He thrust in, no warning, no mercy, and the pain - fuck, the familiar, thrilling pain - was a jagged blade splitting me open. I screamed, the sound raw and real, my mask shattering
