Bound by Magic, Married by Fate novel Chapter 111

Valerie hadn't returned home last night, and there was still no way to contact her even now. It left Lucius feeling increasingly irritable.

It was a state of mind that Lucius had never experienced before. He had been the one to propose that they live without interfering with each other's lives, but the more he got to know her, the more he found himself being drawn to her.

When he woke up this morning, he was still in his own bed.

There were only two possibilities. The first was that the binding vow between Valerie and Lucius had lost its effect.

The second was that Valerie hadn't slept the entire night.

Either way, Lucius wanted to know where she was and who she had been with the previous night.

As dusk began to fall again, Lucius started to feel uneasy. Was she not coming home tonight either?

Every time he called, her phone was either switched off or out of service.

He even went to her study, but strangely, he couldn't open the door, no matter how hard he tried or what method he used.

Lucius had briefly considered ordering someone to break it open, but gave up on the idea, worried that she'd raise hell once she found out.

By the time it was 8:00 pm, Lucius could no longer sit still.

Silas ended a call and walked to Lucius.

He reported, "Your oldest brother called. He's begging to see you, but politely I turned him down."

Lucius nodded absentmindedly.

Ever since Caelus was arrested, Julius had been playing the family card, pleading for leniency so that his son wouldn't be punished too severely.

But did he ever stop to think about how much evil Caelus had committed over the past decade?

Even if Lucius were merciful, the authorities would never let that scum walk free.

Suddenly, Silas pointed outside. "It's Ms. Collins' car."

Lucius' heart skipped a beat, and he immediately looked out the window.

Valerie's beat-up car was slowly pulling into the courtyard.
