Chapter 33“Fuck you, Lucien!” She screamed out her lungs as she threw the golden card she had taken to give and appreciate his help but she didn't hesitate to throw it which landed on his back.Avery walked out of the room not without slamming the door so heavily that even the guards freaked out. The guards bowed respectfully at her but the lady couldn't help but send them a deadly glare that sent shivers down their spines.As the guards watched her leave they couldn't help but to feel cringe as they wondered what could have happened to make her behave in that manner. They could remember vividly the expression on her face.“Master Lucien must have been more deadly towards his wife!” A guard said shooting his head negativity, one wouldn't blame him for running his mouth like a wide tap.“You had better keep your mouth under lock and key!” Another one chirped in since he knew the guard wasn't what was happening in the mansion.“Everyone returns to each of your positions!” The guar yell
Chapter 34Two days ago.Lucien could be seen seated on the couch at the sitting room, watching movies on the TV but his mind wasn't fully on the movie he was watching. He had woken up the next day after he sent Eileen out of his room, he couldn't help feeling a dread in his stomach.He wasn't sure why he had done so but he made up his mind to fix the whole mess he created, he was seated in the sitting room while patiently had his mind focused on the main door for her arrival.“Master, are you waiting for someone?” Butler Lee who was standing behind his master voiced his thoughts when he realized the man was constantly his wristwatch and had his gaze fixed on the main entrance.“Me? Who could I possibly be waiting for?” The man stuttered trying to avoid the fact that he was waiting patiently for the lady but he couldn't bring himself to admit it.“Oh, I'm sorry, master,” Butler Lee said calmly with a slight smile. He knew who the man was waiting for but since he found it hard to admit
Chapter 35The man…. had such a strong presence like that of a medieval king!Especially as he got extremely closer to her, his perfect chiseled face and sexy lips were enough to drive Avery wet down there.Just by the sight of him she instantly forgot all he had done to her when they were still in New York. Maybe her brain wasn't working properly as of that time but one wouldn't blame her for dripping hard for her handsome husband.“Hey Avery, get hold of yourself! Stop acting as if you've never seen a handsome man!” Her mind screamed out at her.“But seriously, I have never seen a handsome man like him throughout my previous life.” She thought not knowing she had just uttered the word out of her mouth.“Were you saying something?” The man asked when he heard her mumbling to herself but he was ignored.Avery took a step back immediately, keeping a proper distance between her and the man. Thousands of questions were running through her mind but she chose to ignore the man.Lucien calm
Chapter 36“Do you want to kiss?” He whispered into her ear.Avery felt her legs and limbs go numb instantly, did she hear him right or was she hallucinating things? Avery was so flustered that she couldn't help but lower her reddened cheeks.“Is it fun teasing her in that manner? Or has he gone crazy?” She wanted to scream out at the man who had just asked her if she wanted to kiss.The man couldn't believe he blurted out such words, he couldn't believe himself as he meant those words. He studied the woman's expression just like he expected her expression changed from a mild shock to anger.“You don't take that seriously right?” He asked as he gently moved away from her. What a narrow escape! The man couldn't imagine what would have happened if he hadn't recovered his senses. He must have gone crazy to ask for something like that.“You…!” Avery snapped furiously with her index finger pointed at the man, she couldn't believe he dared to pull her legs.Like who does that? Who teases
Chapter 37Earlier today.At Paris airport.The moment a message was sent to the president of Paris Mr Holman, the man instantly gathered three thousand troops to welcome the man at the airport despite how powerful he was but who is the man compared to Lucien?The president was well aware of how the man was notoriously reclusive and how hard it was to deal with him or even request an audience with him. The man was able to request an audience after the seventh trier which was why he was going to make use of the little opportunity he had gotten.Mr Holman greeted the man warmly the moment he saw him step out of his private jet looking tall and muscular. The man was cold not caring whether the front man was a big president of the whole of Paris.“Mr Lucien, our country is glad to welcome you and I'm glad we'll be sharing a goal!” The president said as a gesture as he beckoned his hands towards the man who just stared at his hands before reluctantly shaking hands.“Should we start to talk
Chapter 38Looking at their extremely compromising position, Avery couldn't help but sigh “It's good that we're alone in the room or else people might have mistaken us as a couple who's having a hot love-making session.”Lucien was surprised by the woman's words “We can make it real for it to be a beautiful mistake!” He spoke manly and instantly wrapped his hand to her waist pushing her into his broad chest.“You. …!” Avery screamed out not expecting the man to be raw to that extent as she never thought he could have that kind of rated talk with her.Lucien cleared his throat before loosening his grip from her hand and taking some steps away back “Can you just listen to what I have to say?” He asked calmly so that one could see the seriousness in his eyes of him.“After the way, you treated me that day, that was the first time I mustered up courage to do something but you chose to push me away, I don't feel like talking to you anymore!”She said walking towards the bathroom.“Eileen….,
Chapter 39“Delicious!” Avery pouted as she dropped the bowl nonchalantly.“Do you mean the food or I'm the delicious one?”The man asked endlessly, teasing her.“Shut up and stop flirting, Lucien!” She snapped out of anger.The man suddenly found her adorable when she snapped at him furiously, who finds someone furious at them cute? No one does except him!Titling his head to the other side, he snickered.“And why are you still laughing, Lucien!” She asked, her brow twitched in annoyance upon seeing the man laughing wholeheartedly.She never thought there would be a day she would see those expressions on the man's face and at the same time she hoped those expressions would last forever.“You seemed to resemble a vacuum,” The man chuckled again.He wondered why she would claim to be watching her weight and then gulped down a big bowl of chicken soup in one go. Even as a man he can't imagine himself drinking everything in just a go which the man seemed to find adorable.She stared blank
Chapter 40“Who are you, Miss? Are you asking our hotel because you aren't aware of your own identity? Well, you can try taking down our hotel and your career!” The man coldly said and turned around and left.“What? Did the manager just walk out on me?” She stuttered looking confused at the middle-aged man walking away with guards at his back.“You!”She screamed out her lungs.“How dare you disrespect me? How dare a mere manager like you walk over me? Who are you to do so?” She snarled and rushed towards the man blocking him from leaving.“Please respect yourself,” The middle-aged man calmly spoke as he looked at the man behind Isabella's back.“Mr, if Miss Isabella doesn't want to abide by our hotel rules and policies then we'll have no choice but to have the guards show her the exit!” The man firmly said which triggered the lady instantly.That was the first time she was looked down upon which seemed to be making her blood boil furiously. “How dare a low thing like you speak down t
Chapter 74Her slender fingers brushed gently against the petals, a soft gasp escaping her lips at the unexpected chill that seemed to emanate from the flower. But as she grasped the stem, intent on plucking it from the soil, a shadow fell across her path which shocked her instantly.“What do you think you're doing?!” The man's voice growled.The deep magnetic voice startled her, almost making her stumble over nothing. Her grip on the orchid tightened and unknowingly the thorn on it pricked on the palm with the orchid flower in her hand.“L…LLL….” She sucked in cold air. “What are you doing here, Mr Lucien?” She stuttered beneath her words as she tried to recover her composure she hid the flower behind her back.Even though she was caught by the man, she wasn't ashamed of her act, rather she was so happy that she was able to touch the rare blue orchid flower.“Brother!”Stephanie screamed as she ran towards her brother with a joyful expression on her face. She was so excited because sh
Chapter 73Avery stepped inside the reserved greenhouse and she had her mouth widely opened for a second period. She was instantly greeted by a burst of warmth and a riot of vibrant color. The sun's rays filtered through the glass-paned roof, casting a golden glow on the lush that surrounded her.She has seen places like this inside movies, and seeing it now life and directly seemed to leave her in shock. She never thought the greenhouse could be this great. What was she expecting? It's the richest family in the whole of New York, so it shouldn't be a surprise to her at all!Despite how rich the Smith family was she has never once heard or even come across news about them in her previous life. She signifies how lonely and how she has lived a lonely life.Not too long later, furious Stephanie ran inside breathing heavily as if she were in a race competition “How dare you enter my brother's reserved greenhouse? Do you know he can sue you for barging inside despite seeing the big banner
Chapter 72Despite seeing the sweat dripping off the guard's face, the old man still believed his grandson was somewhere inside the mansion. He doesn't believe Lucien would leave just like that with his wife.The old man sat back on the chair, his expression one of resigned patience, as he waited for his grandson with his gaze fixed thoroughly on the entrance door of the dining room.Everywhere was silent, nobody could think of anything or say anything upon seeing the scary look on the old man's face. Everyone knew how hard he took his grandson and wouldn't hesitate to do anything for him, especially Lucien.The old man's expression suddenly turned sour just like that within a twinkle of an eye. The man's gaze was thoroughly fixed on the clock which was ticked by and everywhere went silent and calm. A sense of unease began to creep over him that the old man couldn't help but be shifted on his seat, his gnarled hands fidgeting endlessly in his lap.All those acts of the old man were b
Chapter 71“Are you okay? You've been silent since you got back,” Jake whispered into Isabella's ears and of course, she still kept a straight expression while munching on her food.Isabella tightened her grip beneath the table while trying to keep a straight expression without anyone knowing she was annoyed or anything happening to her at that moment.Her features looked calm as she took the glass of wine in front of sipped from the wine. Every moment speaks of elegance as she performs a poise of grace despite the anger running through her veins.She was about to go crazy but she was still able to keep composure without bothering to spare the useless man beside her. Of course, the man was nothing but useless to her, not after what happened to her that made her understand she had a very useless person in her life.Beneath the surface, a dull ache was growing In the pit of her legs and stomach, a slow-burning pain that threatened to overwhelm her nobody knew what she was going through
Chapter 70 “Master, do you want to follow them?” Butler Lee asked as the man stood behind his master whose attention was on the two women in the front.The man stood still in the hallway, his wife following his wife's retreating figure as she was being accompanied by his younger sister, he was aware of the fact that they weren't on good terms yet she still asked her for a tour.Lucien couldn't understand the way the lady thought at times, thinking about it he couldn't help but wonder why she would suddenly request a tour From someone that isn't on good terms with her.He knew her to be intelligent, resourceful, and could easily handle herself in any situation but still, he couldn't help but be worried. Lucien was aware of how his sister could be at times which was why he couldn't help but be a little bit worried about the two ladies.“Master, Master…. Master….!” Lucien was lost in thought that he didn't hear when Butler Lee spoke to him until he was gently tapped by the man before he
Chapter 69Avery's gaze blazed with a Venomous expression on her face, the lady was pulling on her tail and it was high time she put her in her place. She looked towards Isabella who was silently concentrating on her food. She believed she was able to put a person like Isabella in her place. Putting Stephanie in her place wouldn't be that hard.Avery's voice was the epitome of feigned politeness as she turned to look at Stephanie, a saccharine smile pasted on her face like a mask. “Dear sister, I was wondering if you might be kind enough to give me a tour of the residence,” She said, her tone was so cool and conversational that one wouldn't be able to suspect a single thing.“I am quite curious about where my husband grew up,” Avery calmly spoke to provoke the lady who wouldn't hesitate to react.Stephanie's brow arched, her expression a perfect mirror of Eileen's words “Of course, sister, why not? I have always been by my brother's side. I can even brief you on every little thing you
Chapter 68 Mrs Smith was the only one who could see the interaction between his son and the so-called wife. The woman wasn't expecting to see such an interaction that she couldn't help but wonder if there was something she was missing or she had missed. The woman was aware of his son's temperament but seeing them bicker together, she couldn't help but stare at Eileen with different thoughts in her head. Mrs Smith was aware that his son's marriage was based on business purposes and was sure Lucien was aware of the same thing. The woman couldn't help but feel strange as their interaction seemed more familiar to her. The woman was about to speak up but Grandpa Smith was so fast that he interrupted her unknowingly “Son, when are you giving me a grandchild?” Grandpa Smith asked, resulting in a big choke on Avery's end. The question stuck through Avery like a blow of the gut, catching her off guard. Of course, she wasn't expecting the old man to blurt like that, but considering the old
Chapter 67He's nowhere to be F. O . U. N .D,” She said emphasizing on the word found, before making her way to the entrance door but not without stepping on her as if it was unintentional, whereas it was intentional.At moment she couldn't help but to feel proud of herself with a grin playing at the corner of her mouth, she instantly pulled the door unknowingly that the Butler Lee was leaning on the door trying to hear her conversation, the moment she pushed the door opened Butler Lee stumbled, his balance tipping precariously on the edge backwards, almost at the end of going down . But then, a brave Avery didn't hesitate to stepped into the fray, extending her arm in a heroic gesture of support. She wrapped her hand around man's old waist, the warmth of her touch seeping through his clothes as she steadied his flailing form.Their eyes met, a glint of admiration and respect shining in hers as the man regained his footing, gratitude swelling in his heart for her timely .Almost imm
Chapter 66Doesn't that makes us family?” She mumbled teasingly that one won't have to think twice seeing the sarcasm in her words.“If that's the definition of your own family then I'm sorry you need to start from creche to know the meaning!”“You!” Isabella sputtered in fury.“Oh yes, me! What's wrong with me!” Avery demanded finally seeing the expression she has long seeing on her.You decided to show your real expression today, “oh please, go easy on me because I don't know the next thing you would do to me!” She pleaded making her feel she has the upper hand.Of course Isabella has always been trying so hard to keep a smiley expression on when ever she speak to Eileen while using the word role model as a cover up to be able to convince her that she's a good friend but her face suddenly twisted in anger. That after a few words from Eileen, her true feelings exploded out of her, bursting her bubbles as she clenched her fists and her whole body shook with anger.“If you have anythi
