Semua Bab Alpha Lucas’’s second chance : Bab 11 - Bab 20

*First Person's Perspective*~Enise~I walked through the hotel lobby, my heels clicking against the polished floor, echoing in the otherwise quiet space. The atmosphere felt cold, and the tension in the air seemed to hang around me like a heavy cloud. I was already dreading the conversation that awaited me. I had no idea what Lucian was going to say, but I couldn’t ignore the unease that settled in the pit of my stomach. Something must have gone wrong. From the way he sounded, I knew something must have gone southI was here to meet him, and yet I wasn’t sure what kind of conversation we would have. When the elevator doors opened, I found him waiting for me in his usual spot by the window, his back to me as he stared out at the city skyline. The dim light from the room cast long shadows on his face, making him look almost unreadable.“Lucian,” I said softly as I approached, trying to keep my voice steady.He turned around, his lips curling into a half-smile as he nodded toward the ch

*First Person's Perspective*~Enise~Weeks had passed since I moved into Lucas’s mansion, and with each day, I found myself settling in more. At first, it felt like a temporary arrangement, like something I had to do to keep up the charade. But now, it was different. Living here, spending time with Miracle, and being in a place where everything seemed calm—it almost felt normal. Peaceful, even.I’d grown to care for Miracle in a way I hadn’t expected. Don't get me wrong, I knew I loved her so much, I mean it only made sense right? She was my daughter. But the bond grew and it was very intense. Almost like I couldn't do without seeing her for a day. She was such a sweet girl, and the bond I had with her was undeniable. We spent hours together, playing games, reading books, and just talking. I knew I was missing so much time with her while I had been away, but I was here now, and I made sure to savor every moment.Lucas had become closer to me in the past few weeks. We’d shared more mom

*First Person's Perspective*~Enise~The coffee shop was tucked away on the outskirts of town, far enough from the main streets that it was easy to disappear into the shadows, away from prying eyes. It was a quiet place, perfect for meetings like this—secretive, private. No one would suspect anything. I liked it.Lucian and I sat opposite each other in a booth near the back of the shop, the dim light casting soft shadows over the table. Our coffees sat untouched, as we both had more pressing matters on our minds. I leaned in slightly, excitement practically vibrating off me as I began to recount everything that had happened with Lucas.“Lucian, you won’t believe what happened today,” I started, my voice brimming with excitement. I could barely keep the grin off my face. “Lucas came to my room—”I watched as Lucian’s expression remained stoic, but I didn’t let it deter me. “—and kissed me, Lucian! He just… grabbed me out of nowhere, and for a few seconds, I thought I was dreaming. It w

*First Person's Perspective*~Enise~"I'm coming for you, you better run" Her voice echoed and the sound of laughter followed through Miracle and I were in the garden. We were running around, her laughter filling the air, and I couldn’t help but feel lighter than I had in a long time. For that brief moment, everything felt perfect. The sun was setting, casting a soft golden hue over the garden, and we were just two souls enjoying each other’s company, free of worries. But then, as I spun in circles with Miracle chasing after me, I suddenly felt a prickling sensation at the back of my neck. Eyes on me.I turned around to find Lucas standing by a corner, his posture stiff, arms crossed, just watching us. There was no expression on his face, as usual, so I couldn’t tell what was going on in his mind. His dark gaze was fixed on me, unblinking, as if trying to see right through me. The air between us felt thick, charged with something I couldn’t quite identify.I smiled faintly and waved.

*First Person's Perspective*~Enise~I woke up with a jolt, the eerie sensation of being watched prickling at the back of my neck. My heart raced as I turned to the window, my gaze locking onto the same bird from my first day here. It perched on the sill, its dark eyes staring directly at me. A shiver ran down my spine, and I quickly glanced away.That’s when I noticed it—a folded piece of paper sitting on my bedside table. My chest tightened as I reached for it, my fingers trembling slightly. Unfolding it, I read the chilling words scrawled across the page:*I see your plans are going the way you like it. How about a little game?*I swallowed hard, my mind racing. Who could have written this? How did they know? My instincts screamed at me to destroy the note, to hide the evidence, but then a better idea struck me. I quickly grabbed my phone and snapped a photo of the paper.But then another thought crept in. Why stop there? Why not show Lucas? Maybe it was time for him to know that s
