All Chapters of Mafia Lycan King’s Regret: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Chapter 21Lyla's POV:Monday came by quickly, and during these past few days, I learned a few things. I discovered that Marielle’s antenatal checkups happened at the same hospital Justin was currently being treated at.I didn’t mention it to him because I didn’t want to get him all worked up.Secondly, I learned something even more unsettling. My ex-husband might be a cold-blooded murderer.When I told Justin about my meeting with Mona and how I still believed that Diego might be alive, he said. “Lucian Knight isn’t just a name, Lyla.” He began. “He’s the CEO of one of the most prestigious law firms around—a man who defends anyone, including murderers, as long as they can pay his price. He is also the Lycan King, someone who sentences people to death for breaching certain laws in his kingdom. Lastly, he runs a mafia organization that houses not only drug dealers but assassins who he assigns to do his bidding.”His words clung to me, weighing heavily on my mind. It dawned on me that w

Chapter 23Lyla's POV:"So, what exactly are these unbreakable company commandments?" I ask, emphasizing the air quotes with my hands.Nora looks up from her meal, a knowing smile playing at the corners of her lips. "Basically, everyone learns about these rules on their first day." She replies.Intrigued, I lean in closer, eager to hear more."They're known as the Nine golden rules of Lucian Knight. And they're taken very seriously around here." Nora explains."Rule one: No dating of fellow colleagues." Nora begins, ticking off each rule on her fingers. Rule two: Never arrive later or at the same time as your boss. Rule three: Only officials located in the North wing are allowed to use the Private elevator.Rule four: No employee of LK Law Firm is allowed to wear clothes with flashy or bright colors.Rule five: No heeled shoes, it's either flats or sneakers. Rule six: Every employee must go home on or before 8 PM.Rule seven: No gossip. Rule eight: No plagiarism of others' works.

Chapter 25Lucian's POV:I sat on the metal chair at the center of the warehouse, my elbows resting casually on the armrests, with my fingers placed under my chin.Before me, two men knelt on the cold floor, their faces swollen from the "questioning" my men had already begun. Kael stood beside me, while my men were scattered around the room as they awaited my command.One of my men, a hulking brute named Vince, grabbed the first man by the collar and slammed him against the concrete floor. The sound reverberated through the room, mingling with the man’s groans. His partner, equally bloodied, was held in a chokehold by another guard, his knees scraping against the floor as he struggled.Kael stood silently beside me, arms crossed, his eyes fixed on the men. I leaned forward slightly, letting my eyes bore into the two pathetic figures kneeling before me. Their eyes darted nervously between me and the floor.“Where is Diego?” I asked, my voice was calm but my words made both men flinch.

Chapter 27Lyla's POV:Friday meant a change of routine. I wouldn’t be working at the law firm today but at Lucian’s home instead.I woke up early, went through the process of a quick shower, and ate breakfast before heading to the hospital. Justin, stubborn as ever, had decided he’d be discharged tomorrow. It wasn’t the doctor’s plan, of course, but he was fed up with the smell of walls and endless tests.After ensuring he’d eaten breakfast and didn’t need anything else, I hailed a cab to Lucian’s estate.Lucian’s castle was built in the heart of his large estate, a private estate where Councilmen, Pack Elders, and Officials resided. As the cab pulled up to the towering black gates, I paid the driver quickly and stepped out, my gaze shifting to the familiar building before me.The sight of it stole my breath for a moment, but not for the reasons it once did. The bittersweet memories tugged at me, forcing a bitter laugh to escape my lips.Once, I had been the lady of this house. High

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
