Chapter 300: You ruined everything, Sera
Lucius finally returned to Russia with Aiden. "You’ll tell the story to everyone, which I gave you," he told Aiden.
"Sure," Aiden replied though he still felt wrong about hiding the truth from everyone.
Lucius went upstairs while Aiden moved to the guest room to take some rest.
As Lucius opened the doors, he quietly walked in. His eyes fell upon Layla, who was asleep on the chair. His heart ached to see how Layla got affected because of him. He had truly put her in danger, instead of bringing safety to her.
Lucius stopped right before her and lifted Layla in his arms. Her eyes moved and she opened them only to find Lucius in front of her.
"Lucius, is that you?" Her soft, cold hand reached to his cheek as he settled her on the mattress.
"Yes, I have returned," Lucius replied with a smile. "Just sleep," he whispered, covering her eyes with his other hand. "It’s still dark. So, just sleep."
Layla could not wake up after that and again drifted off to sleep. He covered her with a warm duvet before sliding in too while snuggling her close. He would be with Layla only for a week, and then he could no longer hold him like this.
’I know you will never forgive me for lying to you, for betraying you. And I want the same from you. I’ll live with the memories I have made with you. I just hope you move on because I do not know how long it will take for me to be back in your life. Risking your career, your life will be the last thing I want to do just for my selfish feelings and love.’
