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.

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

He got dressed quickly and walked out of his bedroom, still feeling groggy. As he walked down the stairs, he saw Andrianne waiting for him in the living room."Good morning, Lucas," she said with a smile."Morning," Lucas replied, trying to sound as calm as possible. "The FBI is going to come here to arrest me for the murder of Steve. I need you to get my lawyer on the phone, and have him meet us at the FBI headquarters."Andrianne's eyes widened in shock.

The thought made her stomach churn, and she felt like she was on the brink of tears.She stood up suddenly and started pacing back and forth in the room, her mind racing with thoughts and ideas of how she could help Lucas.
