I Was Hoping She Would Notice but again Now When She Did... Im Tired Chapter 189 Lucian reaction

Your next chapter awaits on empire

"What do you an, Luna?" Rose asked, her voice shaky, one hand pressed to her forehead as a wave of dizziness washed over her. Her body felt unusually warm, unstable, and her mind was struggling to keep up with the situation. Sothing was definitely wrong not just with the atmosphere, but with her own body.

"Ah, nothing much…" Luna's voice dripped with an unsettling sweetness. "I just want you to beco a wife for my boyfriend. Can you do this little favor?"

Rose's heart pounded in her chest, the heat in her body intensifying. Her vision blurred montarily, but Luna's words cut through the haze like a blade. Beco a wife? The implication sent her spiraling.

"What are you"Her words faltered, her breath hitching as she turned, catching sight of Tony rising from the sofa. His steps were slow, deliberate, a predatory smirk etched on his face.

Panic surged, battling the lethargy gripping her limbs. Rose fumbled with her phone, her fingers slipping on the screen as she dialed Lucian's number. She didn't think there was no ti to think only the desperate need for help.

Before the call could connect, a swift motion knocked the phone from her hand. It hit the floor with a harsh clatter, landing screen down, mocking her with its silence.

"Ah ah ah, Rose." Tony's voice was a venomous whisper, his steps growing louder as he closed the distance."We're just trying to have so fun. No need to call for help."

Rose's knees wobbled, the warmth in her body making it difficult to stand, but fear kept her upright. She tried to pull her hands free, but Luna's grip was ironclad.

"It's not even that bad," Luna cooed, leaning in closer. Her eyes sparkled with twisted excitent"Co on, Rose. We're best friends, right? We can be together forever… Just help with this."

"Luna, let go," Rose gasped, her voice laced with fear and frustration. "If you let go now, I'll forget this ever happened."She staggered back, but Luna's hold kept her anchored.

"Oh, Rose," Luna's voice softened, almost mocking. "Don't be so dramatic."

Tony's laughter echoed, low and nacing, as he took another step forward."You'll see, Rose. Everything will be just fine."

Lucian's POV

Lucian suddenly eased off the throttle, his bike slowing as he felt the vibration of his phone in his pocket. Pulling to the side of the road, he took out his phone, the illuminated screen showing Rose's na.

Rose? Why is she calling at this hour? A flicker of concern crossed his mind. Did they find out I'm not in my room? He sighed heavily. I'm screwed if they did.

His thumb hovered over the answer button, debating how he'd explain his absence. She'll ask where I am. What do I even say? He shook his head and parked the bike on the roadside.

Celly, having just caught up, pulled her bike beside his, curiosity evident even through her helt. "What happened?" she asked, tilting her head.

"Nothing," Lucian muttered. "Just a call from my sister." He made sure to say "sister" instead of Rose's na, maintaining his anonymity. He connected the call to his earbuds, disguising his voice with the sa casual tone. "Hey, what's up, sister?"he said, trying to sound nonchalant. "Hello?"

There was no imdiate response, just a faint, unsettling silence. Then, Rose's voice cut through, shaky and distressed.

"I swear,Luna, if you touch again, I won't forgive you. I'm asking politely open the door and let go."

Lucian's brow furrowed beneath his helt. What's going on? His grip on the handlebars tightened. The tone of her voice was all wrong.

"Did you mix sothing in the water?" Rose's voice continued, weak but filled with accusation. "Is that why my body feels like this?How far have you fallen, Luna? You weren't like this."

Drugged? Lucian's mind raced. What the hell is happening? He rembered Luna Rose's best friend from college. His jaw clenched as he pieced together the implications.

"Rose, can you hear ?" he called again, his voice edged with urgency. "Hello?"

But Rose didn't respond to him. Instead, he heard Luna's voice, cold and detached. "No, I'm not forced. If my boyfriend wants it, I'll do anything."

Lucian's breath caught. His heart began to pound, a heavy thump in his chest.

Then Rose's voice again, frantic and filled with fear. "Don't co near ! I swear I'll kill you… don't even think about it!"

A male voice, unfamiliar and nacing, cut in. "What's this drama about? Just give up already, Rose."

Lucian's heart rate accelerated. He felt a sickening dread clawing at his insides.

"I'll be gentle," the man continued, his footsteps audible. "I've always wanted you in my bed. Let's have a taste tonight."

Rose's scream ripped through the line."Don't! Help! Soone, help!"

The sound of glass shattering followed, and Rose's weakened voice, filled with desperation, pleaded, "Stay away from , you monsters."

Lucian's vision blurred with rage. His hand trembled as he gripped the phone, a cracking sound emanating as his fingers tightened around the device, unaware of the spiderweb fractures forming on the screen.

His mind repeated the sa chilling thoughts:

Calling my sister bitch?

They're trying to rape my sister.

They're trying to hurt my Rose.

Lucian's body moved on autopilot. He started his bike, his movents chanical, but his mind burned with fury.His sister's cries echoed in his head, fueling a cold, seething anger.

"Max," he whispered, his voice deadly calm, "give Rose's location. Now."

A beat later, Max's voice sounded in his mind. "VRX nightclub, private room number 13, 170 degrees northwest."

Without another word, Lucian revved the engine, the bike roaring to life as he prepared to speed away.

"Wait, what happened, Harry?" Celly asked from the side, her own bike rumbling softly as she started it."Are we going to race again?"

"Stay here," Lucian said, his voice low and strained. "This is the end of our eting tonight."

Celly's brow furrowed beneath her helt. "Hey, sothing happened? You sound… off," she said, concern creeping into her tone.

"It's nothing," Lucian replied, though his voice betrayed his urgency."Sothing important ca up. I don't have ti, so don't follow ."

But Celly wasn't one to back down so easily. "Nope," she said firmly"I want to help you. Let's go wherever you need to. I'll be there."

Lucian's frustration flared. "I said, stay here. Don't follow , I swear." His voice was sharper now, his patience slipping.

Celly, determined, maneuvered her bike to block his path. "Are you taking this as a joke, Celly?" Lucian growled, his tone darker.

"I said, bring with you! No, I'm not moving," she shot back, her resolve unwavering. "Let's go, Harry."

Lucian's next words stopped her cold"Step aside, Cassandra Flintoff," he commanded, his voice carrying an authoritative weight that was impossible to ignore.

"What" The word escaped her in a gasp, her helted head snapping up in shock. "Wait, what?" she stamred, her voice rising in disbelief."You… you know my real na? When what how?"

Her hands trembled slightly as she quickly removed her helt, revealing a cascade of golden-blonde hair. Her wide eyes, filled with confusion and shock, locked onto Lucian "Fuck, you didn't tell ! Were you hiding this from ? Did you always know who I am?"

A barrage of questions tumbled from her lips, her voice tinged with both frustration and disbelief.

Lucian remained impassive, his face a mask of steely determination"Not now," he said coldly. "Leave alone, Cassandra. Not this ti." His tone softened slightly but remained firm as he swung his bike to the side, ready to bypass her.

Before she could react, Lucian gunned the engine, the bike's roar cutting through the night air. "Frrrrrr!"The sound faded as he sped off, disappearing into the distance at breakneck speed.

"Wait, you mfrrr!"Cassandra bit her lip, anger and worry clashing in her expression. She stood frozen for a mont, processing the whirlwind of emotions that had just overtaken her.

Her mind raced. He's never acted like this before. Sothing serious must have happened, she thought, her concern growing. I need to go. He needs , whether he admits it or not.

Cassandra's jaw clenched. I'll get my answers later, she resolved. But right now, I have to help him.

She pulled her helt back on, her golden hair disappearing once more as she straddled her bike. The engine roared to life, matching her determination.

"Boom!" The sound echoed as she revved the bike and shot off in the sa direction Lucian had taken, pushing the machine to its limits to catch up.
