A NIGHT BUILT ENTIRELY ON A LIE
CHAPTER 132:Isabella felt like the world was tilting beneath her. "Stop. Just stop. You're lying. You have to be lying because if you're not...""Then everything you thought you knew about reality is wrong," Jean-Baptiste finished. "I know. I went through the same thing when Lucian first revealed the truth to me. It's overwhelming. Terrifying. It makes you question your sanity."He finally reached out and took her hand, squeezing gently. "But Isabella, please. Give your father a chance to explain everything. To show you the truth. To help you understand this world you've been protected from your entire life."Isabella yanked her hand away. "I don't know that man. Lucian Ashford is a stranger to me. You're my father. You've always been my father.""And I always will be," Jean-Baptiste said. "But Isabella, he's your father too. By blood, by biology, by the fact that he's loved you from the moment you were born, from a distance, yes, but loved you nonetheless.""Then why didn't he ever
HE LIED!!!!!
CHAPTER 131The drive home felt endless.Isabella sat pressed against the car door, her forehead resting against the cool glass of the window, watching the city streets blur past through her tears.Jean-Baptiste sat beside her, his hands clasped tightly in his lap, his shoulders hunched under the weight of secrets finally revealed.Neither spoke.The silence was suffocating, heavy with unspoken words, with revelations that had shattered Isabella's entire understanding of her world.When the car finally pulled up to the Moreau estate, the home Isabella had grown up in, the place that should have felt safe and familiar, it looked foreign now.Like a stranger's house. Like somewhere she didn't belong.The driver opened the door, and Isabella climbed out without waiting for assistance.She walked toward the entrance on unsteady legs, her mind still reeling.I am your father.Jean-Baptiste is my right-hand man. Those words from her father replayed in her mind Jean-Baptiste followed a few
I AM YOUR FATHER
CHAPTER 130Isabella stared at the man, her mind struggling to process what she'd just heard."What do you mean, you slept with my mother?" she demanded, her voice shaking.Then she whirled to face Jean-Baptiste, her eyes wide with confusion and hurt. "I mean... I understand the fact that you never liked talking about Mom. When I was eight and you shouted at me, I decided never to speak about her again. Not because I wasn't curious...God knows I was so curious...but because I never wanted you to be sad, Papa."Her voice cracked. "And now, sitting here, a man I've never met before is telling me he slept with my mother. And you... you're just sitting there. You're not explaining anything to me. You're not defending her. You're not..."She gestured helplessly between the two men. "What is going on?"Jean-Baptiste looked at his daughter, and Isabella could see the conflict written across his face. Pain. Guilt. Fear. Love.He opened his mouth, closed it, opened it again.But no words came
I SLEPT WITH HER!!!😱
CHAPTER 129The Mercedes sedan pulled up to a sprawling estate on the outskirts of Ottawa, a property so secluded that Isabella hadn't even known it existed despite living in the city her entire life.The building itself was breathtaking, a modern villa that somehow managed to blend contemporary architecture with classical elegance.Floor-to-ceiling windows. Immaculate landscaping. Stone pathways that wound through gardens that probably cost more to maintain than most people's yearly salaries."Papa," Isabella said quietly as the car came to a stop. "Where are we? Who lives here?"Jean-Baptiste didn't answer. His jaw was clenched so tightly that Isabella could see the muscles jumping beneath his skin.The driver, one of their regular employees, opened the door, and Jean-Baptiste stepped out stiffly.Isabella followed, her heart racing.What you did last night has exposed our family to something dangerous.You have angered someone we cannot afford to anger.The words kept echoing in he
WE HAVE ANGERED SOMEONE WE CAN'T AFFORD TO
CHAPTER 128Isabella stood in front of the hotel room mirror, her fingers working methodically through the buttons of her blouse.The clothes had been delivered while she was in the shower, neatly folded and placed on the dresser by hotel staff. A simple but elegant outfit: dark jeans, a cream-colored silk blouse, and a lightweight jacket. Far more practical than the wet, ruined clothes from the night before.Her hands trembled slightly as she fastened each button, and she had to start over twice when she realized she'd misaligned them.Stop shaking, she told herself firmly. You made a choice. You don't regret it. So stop acting like you do.But her body didn't seem to be listening to her mind.Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Adrian's face, those impossible black eyes that had slowly bled back to blue as the night progressed. His fangs that had retracted gradually until they were almost normal. The way he'd looked at her with such desperate need mixed with genuine care."I'l
WHEN THE HUNTERS FINALLY FIND HIM
Chapter 127"You have heard something," Adrian observed. "What is it?"Camila hesitated, clearly weighing whether to share the information."The medical treatment you received," Adrian reminded her. "The promise that you'll be released unharmed. All of that depends on your cooperation."Camila exhaled slowly, her shoulders slumping. "Fine. Yes, I've heard something. From one of my contacts...someone who keeps tabs on supernatural activity in North America.""And?" Adrian prompted."The Cazadores de la Noche," Camila said, the Spanish rolling off her tongue with native fluency. "The Night Hunters. They're here. In Canada."Adrian felt ice settle in his stomach. "When did they arrive?""Within the last week," Camila said. "Maybe five or six days ago. My contact spotted them in Montreal initially, but they've been moving steadily westward.""Toward Ottawa," Adrian said grimly."Presumably," Camila confirmed. "Though my contact lost track of them about forty-eight hours ago. They're good
