Lucian adjusted the cuffs of his suit as he stepped out of the car. The Chen family estate loomed before him, grand and imposing, a clear display of their wealth and influence. The invitation had been sudden, unexpected.Alfred had told him it was nothing more than a formal dinner, a show of gratitude from Douglas Chen for their recent successful collaboration. But Lucian had been in this game long enough to know that nothing was ever just a simple dinner when it came to men like Douglas.A butler greeted him at the entrance and led him inside. He went directly to the dining area.Douglas Chen was already seated at the head of the long mahogany table, a glass of wine in his hand, his eyes sharp with calculation.“Lucian,” Douglas greeted, standing up with a practiced smile. “It’s been a while. Come, sit!”Lucian gave a polite nod. “Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Chen.”Douglas chuckled, waving his hand dismissively. “Drop the

Aurora had been staring at the screen of her laptop. She was supposed to be reviewing the reports her secretary had sent her, but her mind was elsewhere. She tapped her pen lightly against the desk, her thoughts tangled in the conversation she had with Lucian the night before. A vacation. Lucian had invited her and Loyd to go away with him—somewhere, just the three of them. She knew what it meant. What he wanted. He wanted them to bond, to have time together as a family without the weight of the past pressing down on them. Aurora sighed, rubbing her temples. She understood his intentions, and in truth, she could see that Loyd needed this. He needed his father. Every day, she watched as her son grew more attached to Lucian, looking up to him in ways that made her heart ache. But then there was her mother. Carmela wasn’t

The sound of waves crashing against the shore mixed with the laughter of a child, filling the air with warmth and a sense of peace Aurora hadn’t felt in a long time. From where she sat on the villa’s porch, she watched as Loyd ran barefoot across the sand, his small feet kicking up grains as he chased after Lucian. “Dad! Catch me if you can!” Loyd’s voice rang out, high-pitched and filled with excitement. Aurora’s breath hitched. Even after hearing it all day, the word Dad still sent a shiver down her spine. She wasn’t sure what reaction she had expected from Loyd when she had finally told him the truth. But she hadn’t expected it to be so… easy. So natural. Lucian had feared rejection, had braced himself for hesitation. But Loyd? He had accepted him without a second thought. And now, here they were. A father and son pl

Lucian pulled up in front of Aurora’s house, turning off the engine with a quiet sigh. The ride home had been peaceful—Loyd had fallen asleep halfway, his small body slumped against Aurora’s shoulder, while she spent most of the drive staring silently out the window. She had been quieter since they left the island, her usual guarded nature slipping back into place. Lucian had expected that. But that didn’t mean it didn’t frustrate him. For a moment, they had been something. Not perfect, not whole, but something close to a family. He had felt it in the way Aurora had finally let him in, the way she had stopped pushing him away, even if it was only for a little while. And now, she was slipping away again. Lucian exhaled. Not this time. He stepped out of the car and walked over to Aurora’s side, opening the door for her. She looked at hi

Lucian sat in his office, staring at the city skyline through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The weight of the past few days hung heavy in his chest. Since the message arrived, his father had been on his mind more than he cared to admit. He had decided not to meet him. Whatever his father wanted, it didn’t matter. He refused to be pulled back into that world—into the cycle of manipulation and destruction that had defined his life for so long. He wasn’t that man anymore. He had Aurora now. Loyd. A reason to be different. A reason to stay away. But his father never took no for an answer. A knock on his office door pulled him from his thoughts. Alfred stepped inside, his expression unreadable. In his hands was a thick envelope. Lucian’s brows furrowed. “What is that?” Alfred’s hesitation made his stomach twist. “It arrived
