CH 61.Lucas was finally feeling better and more like himself. He had been cooped up in the house for what felt like forever, and he was eager to get back to work. He missed the routine of it all, the sense of purpose it gave him. And of course, the paycheck wasn't bad either.He dressed in his best suit, wanting to make a good impression on his first day back. Andrianne was there to see him off, a smile on her face as she gave him a kiss on the cheek."Good luck today," she said. "I'll be thinking of you."Lucas grinned. "Thanks, I'll need it."As his chauffeur maneuvered through the uptown road to work, Lucas couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. He missed the hustle and bustle of the city, the sound of traffic, the energy of the people. He pulled into the parking garage and took a deep breath. It felt good to be back.The day was a blur of meetings and paperwork, but Lucas was glad to be busy. It helped keep his mind off of things, off of the fear that always lingered in th
CH 62.Without a word, he scooped her up into his arms, eliciting a giggle from her as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He carried her up the stairs and into their bedroom, never breaking eye contact with her.As he gently laid her down on the bed, he could feel his body responding to her touch. He climbed on top of her, their bodies pressed together, and he leaned in for another kiss, this time more intense than the last.He could feel her hands running through his hair, pulling him closer, and he knew that he wanted nothing more than to be with her in this moment. They had been through so much together, and he was grateful for every moment that they had shared.As they continued to kiss,Lucas felt his arousal building, and he knew that he couldn't hold back any longer. He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "I love you," before continuing to kiss her with all the passion that he could muster.As their kisses grew more intense, Lucas pulled back for a moment, his eyes searchin
CH 63.Lucas couldn't help but feel an intense desire for his wife as he watched her sleep. Her peaceful expression and soft breathing made him want to hold her close and never let go. He had never felt this way before, not even when he was with other women.He recalled the night before, how they had somehow ended up sleeping together in his room. He didn't regret it, but he also knew that they needed to talk about it. They had been married for months but they had never been intimate with each other until last night.Lucas had always been reserved when it came to physical intimacy. He had been hurt before and was afraid of opening himself up to that kind of vulnerability again. But with Andrianne, he felt like he could let his guard down.As he continued to gaze at her, he couldn't help but wonder if she felt the same way he did. Did she want him as much as he wanted her? Or was he just projecting his own desires onto her?He brushed a strand of hair away from her face, and she stirre
CH 64.Lucas was in his office, poring over some reports on his desk when he heard a knock on the door. Without looking up, he said, "Come in."The door opened and Emily walked in, a sultry smile on her face. Lucas sighed inwardly. He had been dreading this moment. Emily was his mistress, a relationship he had started before he met Andrianne. He knew it was wrong, but he couldn't seem to help himself.As soon as Lucas acknowledged her presence, Emily made her way to his desk, her heels clacking on the polished floor. She wore a form-fitting black dress that accentuated her curves, and her long blonde hair was styled in loose waves."Lucas," she purred, placing a hand on his desk and leaning in close. "I missed you."Lucas forced a polite smile and leaned back in his chair, attempting to put some distance between them. "Emily, what are you doing here?"Emily shrugged, her perfectly manicured nails tapping impatiently on the desk. "I just wanted to see you, catch up."Lucas felt a knot
CH 65.Lucas finished up the last of his meetings for the day, his mind still preoccupied with the phone call he received earlier. As he stepped out of his office building, he noticed his chauffeur standing by the car, ready to take his briefcase and open the door for him."Thank you, James," Lucas said, as he handed his briefcase to the driver and slipped into the backseat of his luxurious car. He leaned his head back against the headrest, trying to calm the anxious thoughts racing through his mind.James opened the car door and a squeezed note fell out, Lucas felt a shiver run down his spine as he saw the note on the ground. He quickly picked it up, his heart racing with fear and uncertainty. He read the words on the paper: "We're watching you". He couldn't understand who could be watching him, or why.He glanced around the parking lot but couldn't see anyone who looked suspicious. He felt vulnerable and exposed, wondering if he was being followed or if someone was trying to threate
As the sun slowly made its way through the window, Lucas opened his eyes to see his wife Andrianne sleeping soundly beside him. He couldn't help but smile as he watched her, the peaceful expression on her face making her look even more beautiful. He leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, not wanting to wake her just yet.After a few minutes of simply admiring her, Lucas softly spoke, "Good morning, my love." Andrianne stirred slightly, her eyes still closed as she snuggled closer to him. Lucas wrapped his arms around her, pulling her even closer as he whispered, "I'm here for you. Always."Andrianne opened her eyes and smiled up at him, feeling safe and loved in his embrace. "I know," she said softly, "and I'm grateful for that. I never want to lose you."Lucas held her gaze, his eyes filled with sincerity, "You won't. I promise you that. We're in this together."They stayed like that for a few more minutes, basking in the warmth of each other's love and comfort, until
Andrianne woke up feeling a little disoriented. She had spent the whole day in bed, feeling nauseous and dizzy. She groaned, wishing the feeling would go away, but it only intensified. She tried to get up, but her head was spinning, and she had to lie back down. She felt weak and helpless.Andrianne was confused. She couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. She thought it might be something she ate or drank, but she couldn't remember having anything unusual. She tried to get up again, but her head throbbed with pain, and she collapsed back on the bed.She decided to call her husband, Lucas, to let him know that she wasn't feeling well. He picked up on the first ring, and Andrianne could hear the concern in his voice. Lucas asked her what was wrong, and Andrianne explained her symptoms. Lucas told her that he would leave work and come home to take care of her.She tried to stand up, but her legs felt like jelly, and she stumbled back onto the bed. She knew she had to rest, so she l
Emily sat on the couch in her living room, her mind racing with ideas of how to get rid of Andrianne. She knew that she needed to act quickly before the pregnancy announcement could affect her plans. She had been Lucas's mistress for years and had grown accustomed to the luxurious lifestyle he provided her with. Andrianne's presence threatened everything she had worked for.As she sat there, Emily remembered a time when Lucas had mentioned to her that he had a deep love for Andrianne. She knew that she had to find a way to turn Lucas against her, but she couldn't do it alone. She picked up her phone and dialed a number."Hello," a voice answered on the other end."Hi, it's Emily," she said. "I need your help.""Sure thing," the voice replied. "What do you need?""I need to get rid of Andrianne," Emily said bluntly. "She's pregnant with Lucas's child, and I can't have her ruining everything I've worked for."There was a pause on the other end of the line before the voice spoke again. "
