Chapter 28

Lyla's POV:

“Are you kidding me?” I asked, genuinely baffled. “Why on earth would I move in with you?”

Lucian didn’t even flinch. “Because you’re my personal assistant and maid. It only makes sense that you’re by my side 24/7. It would make running errands easier for you and waiting less for me.”

I stared at him, half-expecting him to crack a smile and reveal it was all a joke. “Wow, you’re actually serious about this.” A loud laugh escaped my lips.

“Did you think I was joking?” He asked, his tone as calm and cold as ever.

I crossed my arms. “And what if I say no? Will you threaten to feed me to your dogs again?”

A small smirk tugged at his lips. “Wolves, sweetheart. I only feed my dear ones to my dogs.”

How am I just now realizing that Lucian Knight is a certified psychopath?

Before I could think of another clap back, he glanced at his wristwatch. “It’s 11:57. Make sure I don’t reach the garden before you.” He said, turning toward the door.

My stomach dropped. “Oh, shit.”

    Chapter 29Lyla's POV:Stumbling back, my foot landed on a branch, and the loud snap echoed through the quiet garden. I froze, my heart pounding as I looked up—and locked eyes with Marielle.Her expression shifted immediately, her eyes widening. Slowly, she brought her phone down from her ear, gripping it tightly as she stepped toward me.Instinctively, I turned to leave, but her sharp voice stopped me in my tracks.“Hey, you!” She called, her tone edged with suspicion.I paused, taking a deep breath before forcing a polite smile onto my face. Turning around, I asked, “Is something wrong, ma’am?”She closed the distance between us, stopping a mere three feet away. Her eyes scanned me like a hawk. “Aren’t you that weird girl from Lucian's firm?”I nodded, keeping my smile wide and innocent.“Why are you here?”“Huh?”“Are you deaf?” She snapped, her voice rising. “I asked why you’re here and not at the firm.”“Oh,” I said. “I’m Mr. Knight’s personal assistant. I go wherever he needs me

    Chapter 30Lyla's POV: “He also has a severe allergy to glitter.” Rosa continued.“Glitter? Like… the sparkly stuff?”“Precisely. Contact with glitter causes him to break out in hives—so no glittery clothing, accessories, or art supplies in his vicinity.”I bit my lip to keep from laughing. “Got it. No glitter.”Rosa adjusted her glasses. “Third, Mr. Knight dislikes hearing footsteps in his house. It’s best if you move silently at all times. He prefers if his staff ‘glide’ rather than walk, though how one achieves this remains unclear.”I frowned. “Do I need special shoes or…?”“No.” She shook her head. “Just figure it out. Finally, Mr. Knight insists that all his meals be served at precisely 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Not a degree hotter or colder. If the food doesn’t meet his standards, he’s been known to fling it out the nearest window.”I stared at her, horrified. “That seems… dramatic.”She sighed. “You’ll get used to it.”I leaned back in my chair, still processing. “So, to recap:

    Chapter 31Lucian's POV:Gunshots echoed through the secluded shooting range as I squeezed the trigger, sending another bullet tearing through the air. It struck the target dead center. Kael stood beside me, as he lined up his next shot. His jaw tightened before he pulled the trigger. His bullet hit just shy of the bullseye, and he muttered something under his breath before resetting his stance.A young attendant stepped forward from my left, with a bowl in his hand. K reached in, and took a few bullets without looking at him. Kael did the same on his side, then proceeded to load the gun. He aimed it at the target but instead of pulling the trigger he began. "Do you really think it's a great idea for Marielle to move in with you?"I paused for a second, then I slid a fresh bullet into the chamber, and glanced at him from the corner of my eye."I find her suspicious.” I replied curtly, lifting the gun and taking aim again. "It would be easier to keep an eye on her if she is close."

    Chapter 32Lucian's POV:I sat at the center of my underground lair in the nightclub, leaning back in my chair with my boots kicked up on the table. The light of a single bulb above cast a dim glow over the cages. Most of them were stuffed with dollar notes, stacked high like trophies. But the one nearest to me, oh, that one held a real beast—a Hyena. It paced restlessly, its eyes fixed on me as though it knew the horrors I could unleash.I took a long drag from my cigarette, letting the smoke curl lazily from my lips, before crushing the butt against the table. The heavy steel door creaked open, and in walked Kael and Michael, shoving three men ahead of them. Their hands were tied, their faces pale with fear. The bastards looked like they’d already seen their graves.I tilted my head, grinning wide. "How are you doing?" My voice was casual, friendly even. I tapped my fingers against the table, watching their knees tremble.They didn’t answer, too busy swallowing their fear.I lea

Without waiting for a response, I carried her out.The hallway was lined with guards stationed at every corner. As I walked past, every single one of them turned to stare. Their eyes widened, and shock was evident on their faces. They’d seen me do unspeakable things in this Nightclub—things that would haunt lesser men—but carrying a woman in my arms? That was something they never expected.I didn’t acknowledge them. Let them stare. Their opinions didn’t matter.River stirred slightly, her head nestling closer against my chest. I clenched my jaw, irritated by the unfamiliar sensation of... concern? No. It wasn’t that. It couldn’t be.When I reached my office, I nudged the door open with my foot. I laid her gently on the leather couch. For a moment, I straightened up, ready to walk away and leave her there to sort herself out. Bu

    Chapter 34Lyla's POV:The lights outside the car were blinding, so I couldn’t make sense of where I was. My hands trembled as I reached for the door handle beside me, but it wouldn’t budge. My heart slammed against my ribs, each beat louder than the last.Then I saw her.Through the windshield, a trailer speeding towards me. The headlights cut through the darkness like daggers, exposing the driver. Marielle. Her smile was wide, her hands gripping the wheel tightly. She was coming for me.“Let me out!” I shouted, yanking at the door. But the handle was useless, refusing to open. I clawed at the seat belt, my fingers slipping as the strap tightened around my chest, pinning me to the seat like a prisoner. My breathing hitched, as the trailer barreled closer.“Marielle!” I screamed, but my voice was swallowed by the roar of the approaching truck. My blood froze as her smile widened. She wasn’t going to stop.The impact came with a deafening crash. The car spun violently, flipping ov

They mentioned that you'd be heading to Mexico soon. At first, I wasn’t paying much attention, but then I recognized one of the voices. It sounded familiar, and that made me stop to eavesdrop. I thought that the conversation was something that should only happen on the 15th floor, because amidst the voices, I heard an unfamiliar female speaking."Kael leaned back against the desk, crossing his arms, a faint smirk playing on his lips. "So, that’s it? You overheard some whispers, and now you think someone on the 15th floor is working for Matteo?" His tone was laced with disbelief, as though he were holding back a mocking laugh.I clenched my fists but kept my composure. "No, Kael, that's not all. I also overheard them talking about stealing a safe and how they were nervous about Michael catching them. Apparently, Mich

    Chapter 43Lyla's POV:James stepped out of the car, making his way to Lucian’s side. He opened Lucian’s door with a bow. Lucian stepped out, adjusting his cuffs as though he owned the very ground he walked on—which, knowing him, he probably did.Curious, I got out of the car as well, watching as James popped open the trunk and unloaded our suitcases. He began dragging them across the tarmac toward the private jet.I hurried to catch up, falling in step beside Lucian. “Wait a minute. Are we using your private jet?”He barely glanced at me. “Why would I use a public one?”I rolled my eyes. “Do you have to answer every question with another question?”Stopping mid-step, he turned to face me, his smirk growing wider. “You know, for an assistant, you ask far too many questions.”Without waiting for a response, he turned and walked confidently toward the jet, his coat billowing slightly in the breeze.As we reached the bottom of the stairs leading up to the aircraft, he paused and looked o

    Chapter 42 Lyla's POV:I raised an eyebrow. “What rumor?”The second maid hesitated before answering. “People say that Marielle’s child… doesn’t belong to the Lycan King.”For a moment, I was too stunned to respond. Then, I smiled tightly, shaking my head. “If there’s one thing I’ve learned while living under this roof, it’s that gossip is akin to murder.” I began, stepping closer. “So if you value your jobs—and your lives—you’ll keep your mouths shut.”I turned to leave but paused, glancing back at them. “Just a reminder: I’m not Mr. Knight’s maid. I’m his personal assistant. So anything you say against him—or anyone close to him—will be considered treason.”Without another word, I walked away, leaving them standing stunned.As I descended the stairs, my mind raced. Didn’t Lucian cheat on me with Marielle because he loved her?If that was true, then why was he treating her so harshly now?My mind drifted back to the day I caught them in a compromising position at the office.

    Chapter 41Lyla's POV:I rushed out of the room, panting heavily, my breaths coming out in gasps. My hands were clammy, and my whole body was drenched in sweat. The walls around me felt like they were closing in, suffocating me with every step I took. I barely made it down the hallway when my body slammed into someone. The collision jolted me, snapping me out of my thoughts. Without looking up, I muttered. “I am so sorry.” And attempted to sidestep them, eager to get away.But a firm hand gripped my arm, halting me.I turned around, and my gaze met Marielle’s eyes. My stomach twisted, and I forced a polite smile. “Please forgive me, ma’am. I had no idea it was you.” I said, bowing my head slightly to mask my discomfort.She didn’t let go.“Is something wrong?” I asked, my voice tight. I wasn’t in the mood for her nonsense.Marielle’s eyes darted toward Lucian’s door, then back to me. Her lips curled into a sneer. “Where are you coming from, River?” She asked, her tone dripping with s

    Chapter 40Lyla's POV:I was fast asleep when the sound of my phone ringing, jolted me awake. Groaning, I yanked off my sleeping mask and fumbled around on the bedside table. My hand eventually found the vibrating phone, and without bothering to look at the screen, I swiped to answer.“Hello?” I mumbled, my voice thick with sleep.A deep, commanding voice replied, waking me up from my drowsiness. “Pack up. We’re both going to Mexico.”“What?” I shrieked, sitting upright so quickly that my pillow toppled off the bed. My back hit the headboard with a thud. “I don’t understand. Mexico?”“You have a passport, right?” He asked nonchalantly.“Yes,” I said groggily, nodding as though he could see me.“Good. Pack your bag and be at my place in less than an hour. We’re leaving together.”Before I could ask any questions, the line went dead.I stared at the phone in disbelief, his words replaying in my head. “Mexico? What the hell?” I muttered, throwing the covers off. I jumped out of bed and

    Chapter 39Lucian's POV:After marrying Lyla, I couldn’t bring myself to love or accept her—not when the only reason I wanted her in the first place was to secure an heir.But Lyla was… different. She never begged for my love, attention, or time. She didn’t demand the things a wife should rightfully expect from her husband.She was obedient and dutiful.She loved cooking, even though I rarely ate her food. She loved reading, so I instructed Kael to fill the library with books. Not because I cared, but because I pitied her. She always looked so lonely and sad.One evening, curiosity got the better of me, and I finally asked her why she never seemed to expect anything from me.“This is a much better prison.” She said quietly, with a wide smile.Her words struck me, and I couldn’t let them go. I dug into her past, and what I uncovered only deepened my pity for her. Her father’s house was not a prison—but actual hell.After that, I started eating the meals she prepared, though we rarely s

    Chapter 38Lyla's POV:Lucian stepped closer, his gaze fixed on Mona. "I was wrong," Lucian began. "It wasn’t Alpha Donovan who helped Diego escape. It was Matteo."“Matteo?” I repeated, trying to make sense of it. “Why would Matteo help him?”Lucian leaned against a nearby barrel, his gaze fixed on the woman tied to the chair. “Because Diego had leverage. He threatened to expose all the dirt he had on Matteo—enough to ruin him—on every social media platform. Matteo didn’t have a choice. If Diego didn’t return, one of his allies would step in and finish the job.”I frowned, folding my arms. “So Matteo helped him escape, but then Diego never returned?”Lucian nodded. “Exactly. When Diego disappeared, Matteo panicked. That’s when he found a way to contact Mona here.” He motioned toward the trembling woman, her tear-streaked face buried in her hands. “But she refused to help him.”“That doesn’t make any sense.”Lucian straightened. “So he killed Diego.”A gasp escaped my lips. “What?

Go get dressed.”Just like that? No explanation?“Where exactly?” I asked before I could stop myself again. I cursed my inability to hold my tongue.His smirk vanished, replaced by an expression that could freeze lava. “I’m starting to feel like I’ve given you too much audacity. You dare to question me?”“I didn’t know I wasn’t allowed to ask where I’m being dragged to.” I said, my voice quieter but not without a trace of sarcasm.“Well, now you know.” He folded his arms. “Go get dressed.”Before I could come up with another ill-advised response, Justin’s voice called out from the sitting room. “Lyla? Who’s at the door?”I froze in place, my heart dropping to my stomach.Justin just called me by my real name.Lucian’s gaze snapped to me, as he til
