Chapter 202

LUCIAN’S POV “Lucian, you’re insane,” Aiden said, laughing as he leaned back in his chair. “What if she refuses? Actually…what the hell am I saying? She’s definitely going to refuse.” I ignored him, scrolling through my phone. “The reservation,” I asked calmly, straightening the cuff of my shirt. “Is everything set?” He sighed. “Yes. A quiet place. Private and ridiculously expensive like you wanted. Exactly the kind of place a man books when he’s trying to fix ten years of damage.” I glared at him. I checked my watch and stood. “Handle things here. I have to go.” Aiden shook his head as I grabbed my jacket. “Just know that you’re risking your sanity tonight.” “I lost it the day I lost her, Aiden.” I said, already walking out of my company. The drive to my mansion took barely ten minutes, but my heart was pounding like I’d been driving for hours. I parked, stepped out, and immediately sent her a text. “I’m here.” I adjusted my shirt, fixed my cufflinks, and waited. Five minutes passed.
