Chapter 206: Lucien’s Dark Past

Lucien sighed typed furiously on his phone," It is simply unethical! I know we need to find about Nora but doing something like this is wrong! I cannot make her fall in love with me and then betray her. I am not a j*rk!"

Seb: "Who said you can make her fall in love with you? Lucy, did you drink early in the morning? You are no cupid who can make her fall for you with an arrow."

Ian: "Uh huh. Seb, according to Lucy’s recently discovered sordid past, he may be a cupid but his arrow is of another L word not the love word."

Seb: HAHAHAHAHAHAH.. Nah! I am pretty sure Lucy has been firing the love arrows, only for them to lose their way somewhere due to his lousy aim."

Ian: "How do you know his aim is lousy?"

Seb: "I used to take him to the bathroom when we were young..."

Ian: "Ewwww. Thats TMI, Seb!"

Lucien shook his head at this. His brothers really had no boundaries or limits. Just as he was about to put away his phone, Ian continued.

Ian: "On a serious note, she is the only one who can facilitate your entry into Estania, Lucy. You know we are desperate. At least just get close enough to get confirmation about Nora. That is it. We don’t want to hurt any innocent people in this."

Erasmi: "You don’t have to make her fall in love, Lucy. And yet, using her is indeed unethical, but you know we have already exhausted all options."

Lucien sighed and switched off his phone as his flight was announced. When he’d shared the information about the secret meeting with the Estanian Royal Aide, he had not expected that he would find himself on an airplane to ’coincidentally’ meet Princess Evangeline. Even the thought of going close to her to extract information made him feel like scum.

But he also knew the others were right. They’d had to stop looking for Demetri for fear of letting the enemy know that he too had been harmed and was missing.

He could not help but think back to the note they had received all those months ago," Your brother is safe but injured. If you want to keep him safe and not alert his enemies, then call off the search."

Of course, they’d toned down the search for Demetri after this, hoping that he would be able to contact them. But that had not yet happened. It had been a painstaking effort for them to even find the connection between Nora and Estania and about the return of their princess Eleanora.

They’d already tried all means to establish some form of communication to find Nora but all their efforts had been rebutted.

He did not hold much hope for this princess to even remember him, let alone recognize him. How was he then supposed to get really close to her. He rubbed his head and thought back to the time when the entire incident had happened.

He’d been desperate to move out of his brother’s shadows. Every where he went there had been comparisons and so he’d decided to go but not as Lucien Frost. Only his roommate from college who had organized the party had been aware of his identity.

However, he’d hated the party even more. Hed dressed up differently for it so as not to be recognized. He just had not expected that his ’bad boy’ dressing would make girls throw themselves at him so much that he would have to go and hide in the shadows.

That was when he had heard the whispers. "Evana", that is what they had called her. Discussing how she looked down her nose on everyone and refused to drink.

He’d shaken his head at that. So what if someone did not want to drink and remained silent, hoping those people would just escape. However, they had not expected that those girls would actually plan to push her into the pool to humiliate her. By the time, he’d paid attention and realized what they’d been discussing, those girls had already moved away so he had no idea who the perpetrator was and who the victim.

And that is how he had found himself strategically positioned beside the pool, ready to jump in if needed.

Unexpectedly, those women had chosen a spot close to him to surround her, as they spoke," Do you think you are all that just because you hold a title?"

"You are nothing without your father’s money and your family name, Evana."

He’d not seen the girl’s expression but only had an impression of her back as she had continued to stand there straight, letting the other girls talk trash.

He watched as they’d closed in on her but she had not been intimidated at all and had simply held her place. But then those girls had pushed her, two from both sides and she’d lost her balance.

Lucien knew that he would not have reacted the way he had if the girl had been scared but her strength had made him feel protective and he’d pulled her into his arms.

Dam* it! He’d forgotten all about that! That kiss had been... Because of the lip ring that he had been wearing that night, he’d been more sensitive...Of course, the moment she had tentatively kissed him back, he’d pulled away, taking her away from there. They’d been together the whole evening.

And they would have spent the night together if her security had not come in and taken her away. Sigh! People from the past should stay in the past. Discarding his jacket in the flight, he pulled out the bomber jacket and leather pants.

Soon, he grabbed the hair dryer messing up his hair. He looked at the lip ring in front of him but soon decided against it. That piercing was gone and he wasn’t going to get that again!

And that was how Lucy boarded the flight as a straightlaced accountant but alighted as a cold and dangerous biker...
