Chapter 63 - Mockery

After a few blissful days with Maya, the weekend finally rolled around. For Lucas, it wasn't just a time to kick back—it was the moment everything would finally fall into place. Victor's smug, two-faced act had gone unchecked for too long, and Lucas was about to make sure this weekend would be unforgettable for him.

Diana greeted them at the door, her smile overly bright, her energy almost too eager. "Lucas, Maya, so good to see you both! Victor's in the study—he's been really looking forward to catching up."
