Lucian felt disgusted by the image. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. For an instant, the great Mr. Sadharthe didn’t know what to do. His eyes, his gestures, his body… his entire body stopped. It was like the image had injected him with a dose of sedative. It was obvious, that image that he imagined not to ever see again was in front of his eyes. But now that he had the opportunity to change all that he couldn’t before, Lucian decided to act. He allowed himself to feel all that hatred and then, when his body acted by hatred before conscience, Lucian Sadharthe threw himself at the man who was on top of April while she was begging for help. When the manager realized that someone had indeed arrived when he’d thought otherwise, the manager’s gesture changed completely. He was trying to say something when Lucian didn’t wait any longer and hit him. April immediately got up and tried to cover herself with a blouse that was on the floor when Adele came into the room. She covered her mou
It was ten o'clock in the morning and a woman with a glass of red wine, unable to stop smiling over and over again at the memory she had in her mind. Everything had been so fast, not even she herself had realized the whole day had been spent in the same way, thinking about the same person she shouldn't, what no one knew was that she was a damn shameless, a woman who didn't care about anything but her new prey. And that was the case with Leona at that moment, that smile full of vanity, that way she sat, that way she looked at nothingness and at the same time, at everything because it was in that nothingness where her everything was. All that she saw as her sole purpose. Suddenly, she got up from the place that her husband was supposed to be using at that hour, but being the man he was, Leona was the one who best occupied that place. She had a new idea in her mind, that man, she would never forget the impulse, the beat her heart felt every time she saw that man full of power. That w
“Tomorrow a van will pick you up and take you to my mansion, tell me where you want me to meet you and my men will be there waiting for you. Prepare your things and your son's things. Or if you don't want to bring anything, I'll buy everything. I don’t really care.”“No, no, the truth is that it is not necessary. The day I allow you to buy something for me or for my son again, it will be because I will have earned it with my work, okay?”Lucian looked at her as he had rarely looked at a woman. She was a brave woman, a woman capable of anything, a woman who would make it to heaven if she wanted to do it. She liked her and she was the kind of woman he needed to feel capable in front of any power that would fall into his hands.The indications were clear enough to. “But not everything can be perfect, dear April.” April didn’t say anything but the disappointment was obvious. She herself knew that nothing could be perfect in the world and hearing her future boss saying those words, it wa
Laughing with mockery, Leona walked down the stairs as she continued laughing at the words that he had said to her husband. She was such a bitch, she was such a cold-hearted woman who didn’t feel anything, who just worked for her own interest and even her son was part of those businesses she initiated. Finally, when she reached the office, she sat on the leather chair and started smiling at her memories. Those memories that made her happy and made her know that she was capable of everything. If she’d had Lucian in her depths, it was possible to have him not twice, not thrice, countless times, as many times as she wanted. Suddenly, the phone rang. She rolled her eyes and picked up. “Mrs. Acosa speaking. What do you want?” She said. “Mrs. Acosta?” “Yes, what can I do for you?” “I’m officer Luna. I have important news to share with you.” “What are you talking about?”“We found a body in the ravines. Mrs. Acosta, it looks like your friend’s remains had been rescued and we can of
After noticing the way she looked at the place, Lucian finally smiled. That was the last thing he would have expected, at the end of the day if he had managed to impress her with everything he had there. If only he knew the work she was about to do in that place, he would make her feel like she owned it all.“Come in, come in, please,” said Lucian, showing her around.What could one say about this space? No more than a large library, a large space in which all business seemed to be done there, she remembered her life, she remembered the space in which she lived but was never happy and too late she realized it. But now that she had her son by her side, now that she had nothing else in the world, she felt that her son was enough to make her happy.“There is a lot to talk about, I hope you can listen until I finish talking. I promise I will answer all your questions until the end, just until the end,” said the man, taking some documents that he had kept perfectly.That was no more than t
When they were in front of each other, looking into each other’s eyes, Leona couldn’t hide that desire that was seeing through her eyes, but Lucian knew how to react right away and hugged his half-sister. He preferred to avoid that look in his half-sister’s eyes and offered her a hug. He was glad he did it because Leona started crying on his shoulder. “What happened, Leona? What happened?” Leona smiled between tears. “Lucian… Lucian, it was… it was my friend. The police found the remains of my friend. She disappeared from our lives 6 years ago, I thought she’d gone away, and indeed… she has gone away…” Leona said. “I want to prepare her funeral, I want to give her my last farewell. I want to… do the best for her… But I don’t know how… I don’t know how…” “I’m gonna help you, Leona. I’m gonna help you.” Leona smiled again. It seemed that she’d found the best method to get closer to Lucian. She didn’t know how long it would take her, but she was going to have that man right into her
Unbelievable! Yes, it was unbelievable! How come? Whose idea was it? His heart? His desire for her? Or that little voice in his head that had been shouting at him for so many months to take her wherever he could, however he could? In the end, the case was the same, he had succumbed to her beauty, to her pure temptation, and everything she was made of.Unbelievable! Yes, it was unbelievable what he did! But it was done and the worst part was that he didn’t regret it, no matter how much he tried to, he didn’t regret it. Exasperated, Lucian leaned forward in the sink of that luxury bathroom and gave himself a couple of seconds. He looked at his reflection in the mirror and wasn’t able to recognize himself. He was shirtless, with the well worked abdomen exposed. The lines of his face were as perfect as the color of his eyes. What he was experiencing was something that he had never felt before. If only he could close his eyes and get back to California, being in front of his desk, working
SCOTLAND, THE UNITED KINGDOM ARKANAS CASINO The next morning came as if nothing had happened when the truth was that everything and more had happened. Everything around her felt different, it was like she’d woken up with Lucian’s cologne in her body, it was like his skin still burned against hers, the warmness of that morning brought a special fire with it. Whatever it was, it had to stop. That wasn’t the deal, but who was the first one to give in? She only had one thing in mind, it had to stop, she needed to stop breathing in his cologne, and stop hearing her own sounds that had filled the darkness of that night where she didn’t have control of herself. Stuffed in a red long dress, Madeline continued her way to the casino where she was supposed to see Lucian since she’d asked about him and they had informed her that Lucian had gone to an important meeting and he couldn’t wait for her anymore. It seemed like it wasn’t going to be really difficult to go on with their lives as they u

Lucian felt disgusted by the image. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. For an instant, the great Mr. Sadharthe didn’t know what to do. His eyes, his gestures, his body… his entire body stopped. It was like the image had injected him with a dose of sedative. It was obvious, that image that he imagined not to ever see again was in front of his eyes. But now that he had the opportunity to change all that he couldn’t before, Lucian decided to act.

With slow steps and being the powerful man Lucian could be in the world, he approached the woman. He had never seen so much beauty in a woman, and perhaps what he did not understand was that it was possible to see such a dazzling woman. It was true that many, many women had passed through the bed of that man who was more handsome than any movie actor, but none with the grace and divinity of the woman he had in front of him. She was really different, she was everything he could be looking for and now that he thought about it, it could be exactly that way she acted, the same way she had let him know that she was not like other women and that she had respect for herself. As she put it, no matter how many more jobs she had to get for her son, she would do it without further ado but she was never going to work at what the women of Lucian had worked at, she had respect for her son and for herself. Maybe that was what made her more beautiful than all the women that had been in his bed.“Com
In front of her eyes, that well-dressed man took off his jacket and as soon as he was in front of her, he knew how to put the coat on her body, protecting her from all the pervert looks of the men. Now he was her only salvation, and he liked that. He liked to be someone for her, he was starting to like the idea of being needed. “I know you can say ‘no’ to some things but there are others you can’t. You’re too stubborn, April.”April looked at Lucian with watery eyes. When she thought there was no salvation for her, it was the man she thought the least who came to save her. She was in debt to him. She owed him and she wasn’t the kind of woman who left without finishing her business. But that wasn’t the best moment to talk about it or to think about it. April just wanted to get out of there and forget about everything that had happened. But when April looked into his eyes with those perfect emeralds she had for eyes. April was so beautiful, everything about her was perfect, pure pe
April couldn't help but feel how her legs started trembling. She couldn't look into his eyes, she was a prey of that man, she was a prey of his power. April knew that the man could do anything and everything to her and she wasn’t going to do anything. Well, it seemed like the news her friend had sprung on her had affected her more than she thought. That man in front of her was no more than pure temptation and power. She could know that by the way he dared to look at her, as if she was a mere land he wanted and needed to own. But of course those were thoughts she got rid of as soon as she understood that it was not possible for a man as powerful as him to be so kind to her for another reason that wasn’t just being kind. “Mr. Sadharthe?” She whispered and lowered her head. Lucian smiled. “So you already know who I am?” “Mr. Sadhathe, I’m so sorry for not having recognized you before. I should’ve given you a better service.” Lucian looked at the small and delicate body of the woman i
