You ruined everything, Sera

Lucius finally returned to Russia with Aiden. "You'll tell the story to everyone, which I gave you," he told Aiden.

"Sure," Aiden replied though he still felt wrong about hiding the truth from everyone.

Lucius went upstairs while Aiden moved to the guest room to take some rest.

As Lucius opened the doors, he quietly walked in. His eyes fell upon Layla, who was asleep on the chair. His heart ached to see how Layla got affected because of him. He had truly put her in danger, instead of bringing safety to her.

Lucius stopped right before her and lifted Layla in his arms. Her eyes moved and she opened them only to find Lucius in front of her.

"Lucius, is that you?" Her soft, cold hand reached to his cheek as he settled her on the mattress.

"Yes, I have returned," Lucius replied with a smile. "Just sleep," he whispered, covering her eyes with his other hand. "It's still dark. So, just sleep."
