MooreI stepped away from Lucien, feeling his gaze burn into my back as I made my way toward the wine cellar.The weight of the room's attention pressed against me. Men, women, and every other guest had their eyes locked on me—from the moment Lucien and I walked onto the podium, through his flawless speech, and now, as I moved through the grand hall. It was as if I had become the centerpiece of the evening, an unspoken statement that demanded attention.What had shocked me the most was Lucien taking me on stage in the first place. What was he trying to prove? He was never one to flaunt anything, least of all, me. And yet, there had been something deliberate about the way he did it.Then there was the ring.Lucien's wedding band had been firmly in place.I could swear I had never seen him wear it. I don't even think he had one with him just as much as I loothe putting on mine. I have never worn it before, and I didn't tonight.He wasn't even there while I exchanged vows with his status

Moore"You should have stayed home. I swear Mr. Lucien only invited us to humiliate you. You should’ve hidden your face in shame," Nora sneered, her words dripping with malice.I turned, my lips pressed into a thin line.It had been almost a month. A month of silence, of swallowing my pride, of pretending their betrayal didn’t matter. But standing here, listening to her spit every cruel syllable, I realized something.I didn’t need to be ready to put these people in their place.I didn’t need to prepare to bring them down.They deserved to be beneath me, and I would make sure they learned that.I shifted my gaze, meeting Nora’s brown eyes first before flicking to Grey. His eyes, black or whatever dull shade they held, were nothing but amusement, the kind that made my stomach twist.Not in anger.In disgust."You even went ahead and married someone who hates you, just to get back at us. How petty," Nora continued. She must have been holding that in for a long time.I almost wanted to l

Grey"How dare you!"The fury in Moore’s voice sent a chill down my spine.I hadn’t expected this.Not from her.The murmurs from the crowd were growing, their whispers carrying an undeniable excitement. It hit me like a punch to the gut—Moore had planned this. Or maybe she hadn’t, but either way, she had turned the moment to her advantage almost instantly.Nora and I had underestimated her.Badly.When we received the invitation two days ago to Lucien Giordano’s exclusive luncheon in London, we had been skeptical. But declining an invitation from him wasn’t an option.It wasn’t until we arrived that we realized the mistake.Lucien had lured us here.And Moore… Moore had been his secret weapon.Seeing her enter with him, head held high, dressed like she belonged in his world, had sent Nora into a fit. She had called Moore every name in the book, whispering venom into my ear about how it must be a trick, how Lucien was just playing some pathetic game, and how badly we might have fallen

Lucien"You must have guts to think you can hit my wife right in my presence. And at my party, no less."My voice cut through the tense silence, sharp and unforgiving.I took measured steps toward Moore, my gaze locking onto hers. Shock flickered in her eyes—she hadn’t expected me to intervene. But of course, she had taken full advantage of the opportunity I’d given her. She was making a spectacle, distracting everyone.Good.I met her eyes briefly before shifting my focus back to Grey. "What gave you that kind of nerve?"I had invited Moore’s enemies here to give her a chance at revenge. I had expected her to lash out—verbally, maybe humiliate them, twist the knife where it hurt most. But I hadn’t expected her to take it this far.She had gone beyond words.Maybe I was to blame for that. I had been brutal with her body, pushing her to her limits, breaking her down piece by piece. And now, she was channeling that same energy, mirroring the ruthlessness she had learned from me.For a b

Moore “Finally…” I let out underneath my breath the moment Lucien was called up to the stage for his vote of thanks.Parties like this were never my cup of tea. I glanced at the time on my phone screen, it was just a few minutes to twelve midnight. The night was finally coming to an end, slipping away as though nothing humiliating had happened. I had expected Lucien to either take Grey’s side or, worse, humiliate me himself, but the fact that the night passed without incident left me unsettled. When in Italy, I had thought my coming to London was just to show to the world yet again how my husband hates me. But he had stood for me.After the unveiling of the product which Lucien handled effortlessly, our eyes met briefly while he was delivering yet another speech. That was the only acknowledgement I got from him. A single glance. Nothing more. “...It's with profound pleasure I thank you all for honoring this call at such short notice. Cheers to many great achievements in London

Lucien"Hmmm" I hummed, my voice was calm, but my eyes were mischievous as they flicked downward to the stain on her underwear.Moore followed my gaze, her breath hitching before she scrambled to cover herself. But it was too late—I had already seen it."N…nothing," she stammered, her voice small.I tilted my head, my mind already making sense of what I saw. She was bleeding. It was that time of the month. I had seen it before. First with my sister when I was in high school, then with Felicity when she moved in with me. I knew how both of them grumbled through the week, irritated and uncomfortable. And now, Moore was in the same state.A few minutes ago, Lillard had come to me just as I was about to return to the property. He reported that Moore had disappeared. He had claimed she was going to the restroom, but thirty minutes had passed, and she hadn't returned.Lillard checked the restrooms but found nothing. He suspected she had either run away or had been taken.The idea of her run

MooreA heavy warmth pressed against my side, anchoring me in place. My body stirred, still sluggish with sleep, but the unfamiliar weight around my waist sent a jolt of awareness through me.My eyes fluttered open. The ceiling above me was different. The scent in the air was rich cedar and something distinctly masculine. Wasn’t mine. A slow, creeping dread settled in my gut.I stirred again, shifting slightly, but the moment my vision cleared, I was met with the strikingly beautiful features of a man.My brows furrowed in confusion. What…?Tilting my head slightly to get a better look, my breath caught in my throat.Lucien.Lucien was fucking lying next to me. How on earth is that even possible?My breath hitched. His arm was wrapped securely around my waist, holding me against him like I belonged there.Panic shot through me like lightning. How the hell did I end up in the same bed as him?His face, even in sleep, was carved with the kind of ruthless beauty that could make anyone fo

MooreSomeone must have opened the curtains because the harsh rays of sunlight hit my face, searing through my closed eyelids and pulling me out of the depths of sleep. I could feel a gnawing hunger building in my stomach, an undeniable reminder that I had to wake up. There was no avoiding it. I opened my eyes, squinting against the sudden brightness.At first, everything was blurry. I turned my head on the bed, trying to figure out where I was. It didn’t look familiar. The soft, luxurious sheets beneath me were different from anything I’d slept in before. Slowly, my vision cleared, and I saw a woman standing near the bed, dressed in a simple yet elegant uniform, just like the domestic workers at the mansion."Loretta?" I mumbled, my voice groggy and thick from sleep."Good morning, Mrs. Giordano," the woman said in a soft, polite tone. Her voice was sweet, yet it sounded unfamiliar, one I swore I had never heard before.I blinked, still not fully awake, as I rubbed my face, trying to

LucienI had never slept like that before.Deep. Uninterrupted.It was unsettling. Right after Ava died, I haven't been able to sleep for more than an hour.I would have woken up to nightmares about how she was hit by a running vehicle, a man who had long ceased breathing. I'll have dreams of how the doctors tried to save her.Those had haunted me for ever!Waking up and seeing Moore beside me was a shock I hadn't prepared for. I wasn’t the kind of man who could fall asleep easily, let alone stay asleep for more than an hour. And yet, I had spent over seven hours in bed, undisturbed, with her beside me.I sat up on the bed, my eyes on her peaceful face. Not only did I wrapped her up in my arms, I had my head snuggled right into her hair.I ran a hand through my hair, my mind replaying the events of the previous night.She had fallen asleep on my shoulder in the car, barely a few minutes after taking the painkillers. I had been taken aback when her head hit my shoulder so effortlessly,

Lucien“The app is doing well sir,” Greg’s voice came through the phone. “We’re seeing excellent returns after just a few hours. The public’s responding better than we anticipated.”“Good,” I replied, trying to sound neutral, though my mind was far from it. “I’ll be back in the office tomorrow.”Greg chuckled. “So, you’re just waking up, you sa—”“Shut up,” I said, ending the call before he could end whatever it's he wanted to say. I wasn’t in the mood for his teasing. Just before I could fully concentrate on the view outside the building, I shove my sleeves up a little more, my hair messy as I hadn't combed or do anything just yet.Carolina , one of the staffs walked downstairs towards me. “Are you ready for breakfast now sir?”I tilted my head a little. “Is Moore up?”She raised her eyes, possibly wondering who Moore was. “We don't have two females sleeping in my room Carol, do we?” “Oh, no sir.” She said quickly, bowing while her face twitched with regrets. “I'm so sorry, I
