Lucian's POV
Aria's words had gotten into my skull and although I didn't know the full story behind what transpired between them, the pain in her voice when she said it told me everything I needed to know. Ethan had already destroyed one empire that belonged to her and he wasn't getting mine.
I left the penthouse more determined than ever. Slightly running,I stepped into the garage and slid behind the wheel of the black Audi myself tonight.
Everything I had worked for was slipping away and I needed to be in control of something.
I made myself a promise out loud as I drove out"I won't let you down, Aria. No matter what it might cost me."
I fished my phone from the center console and hit Margaret's number.
"Mr. Voss?" Her voice was cautious, almost hushed.
"Meet me at Roots Café in thirty minutes. I'm already on my way."
"Alright,I'll be there."she responded, ending the call
