All Chapters of Maria: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

This side of Lucien is something I was very afraid of, something that shook me to my core. With Lucien's threat James  bolted up and raced for the door grabbing the arm of his girlfriend and pulling her with him as they made their way out of my office. My heart sunk. They had left me alone with a fuming Lucien. 

Lucien gracefully Stepped forward raising his hand to my cheek gently glazing his palm across my rosy red cheek with his right hand.  His thumb slowly smoothing across the skin of my jaw as he took a hold of my chin between his thumb and finger. 

Roaming my eyes over the crowd I searched the room for any sign of my brothers, or the Garcia brothers. I strained my neck, It's pretty hard to see with so many tall men in here. Eventually My eyes landed on Lucien who was already looking right at me.  He licked his lips before giving me a small smile. I made my way over to him, James clearing and guiding me through the crowd of men.  Lucien reached out, taking ahold of my hand in his and pulling me into his warm embrace. The scent of his cologne enveloping me as he wrapped his arms around me firmly.  A content sigh passed my lips as I relaxed into the warmth and safety of Lucien. Lucien looked down at me "What's wrong princess" He asked with a worried look upon his face.  He looked into my eyes as if he was searching them for an explanation. "Nothing, I'm fine I promise" I said trying to sou

María's pov-  I slid my back down the wall, my knees collapsing beneath me, My tears uncontrollably streaming down my face.
