Lucien's POV
How could Sera say something like this to me? Did she think I was trying to dominate her? Without even asking why I was here in such a rush, so late?
I'd been restless for days, and I couldn't sleep properly or focus on work.
Work used to help me, especially after my ex left me. I threw myself into it like a madman… meetings, files, calls… anything to stay out of her memories.
It was better to stay busy and not feel anything.
It was the only thing that kept me from falling apart. And even shielded me from my family, who either sympathized with me or… had over-the-top expectations.
So, I cut myself off from everything and buried myself in my work, expanding my business like crazy, and in just a few years, I was the biggest businessman not only in our country but was top ten in the world, surpassing a lot of big names.
Even when I hadn't yet merged my family business with mine!
But now… Everything seemed to have changed since Sera had arrived in my life.
