Chapter Thirty one: The Enemy Within

*Lexi's POV* Vivienne arrived at the penthouse, looking frantic. Julian immediately went to her side, trying to calm her down. "Vivienne, what's wrong?" Julian asked, his voice soothing. Vivienne took a deep breath before speaking. "Etienne... he's changed. He's become a monster. I overheard him on the phone, and I know he's working with your mother, Lexi." I felt a chill run down my spine. "What did you hear?" I asked, my voice shaking. Vivienne hesitated before answering. "I heard him talking about how he's going to bring you down, Lexi. How he's going to make sure you never get what's rightfully yours." Julian's expression turned grim. "I'm not surprised," he said. "I suspected Etienne was up to something when he asked to stay behind during the business trip." Vivienne nodded. "I have to go. I have a feeling Etienne knows I came here to warn you, Lexi."

Chapter Thirty Six: Unspoken Desires

Lexi’s POV I looked up, seeing Julian walk into the room, and all the pain and helplessness I’d been feeling seemed to melt away. He immediately came over to me, concern etched in his features. He reached out to wipe away my tears, his touch gentle and warm. “What’s wrong?” he asked, his voice low and soothing.I closed my eyes, feeling a fresh wave of despair. But there was something else there too, something stronger, something I couldn’t ignore: the intense desire, the raw need I felt for him. I let out a shuddering breath, my voice barely above a whisper. “It’s just... family stuff. Nothing you can help with.”He didn’t look convinced. He knew there was something more, something I wasn’t telling him. But he didn’t press the issue. Instead, he took a step closer to me, his body just centimeters away from mine. I could feel the heat radiating off him, and I wanted nothing more than to throw myself into his arms, to escape into the comfort of his embrace.His hands came up to rest

Lexi’s POV He chuckled, his voice ragged with desire. “Beg me,” he said, his fingers continuing their slow, steady rhythm. “You know what I want to hear.” I writhed beneath him, my body tight with need. I wanted to give in, to give him what he wanted, but I needed it just as much.I whined, the sounds coming out of my mouth needy and desperate. “Please,” I managed to gasp out. “Please, I need you. I want you. I want you so badly it hurts.” He groaned at my words, his hand moving faster, the pressure building until I thought I might explode. He leaned down, his lips next to my ear. “Again,” he growled. “Say it again.”I repeated the words, over and over, until they were the only words I knew. “Please,” I begged, “please, I need you. I want you. I want you so badly. I can’t bear it. Please.” His body was taut above me, his muscles coiled with the effort of holding back. He gave a low growl. “Good girl,” he muttered, his words harsh and gravelly. “So good for me. I’m going to give you w

Chapter Thirty Eight: The Plan Unfolds

Lexi’s POVI knew Julian was right, and deep down, I didn’t want to admit it. He was always the rational one, always looking out for me.

But trust had been hard for me for so long, and that feeling wasn’t going away.It wasn’t just about finding answers—it was about facing the past. I had to do this. How else would I ever move forward?

Chapter Forty : A Dose of Danger

Julian’s POV I returned home earlier than expected. The business meeting had ended on a sour note, and I was in no mood for delays. As I entered the penthouse, I immediately sensed that something was wrong. The usually bustling atmosphere was eerily quiet, and the faint smell of blood lingered in the air. “Martha?” I called out, my voice echoing through the halls. There was no response. I quickened my steps, heading toward the living room, where I froze at the sight before me. Lexi was sprawled on the floor, her face pale and her lips stained with blood. Her phone lay beside her, the call still active. My heart dropped as I rushed to her side, scooping her up in my arms. Her breathing was shallow, and she was unconscious. “Lexi! Wake up!” I shouted, panic creeping into my voice. I grabbed her phone, hearing the faint sound of someone shouting her name on the other end. “This is Julian Blackwood. Who is this?” I demanded. “Julian, it’s Dr. Ashton. Lexi just called me. What’s happ
