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. "

Lucas woke up early the next morning, his mind still clouded with the events of the previous day. He couldn't believe that he was being accused of murder. 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. "Lucas, are you sure about this? You didn't do anything wrong.""I know I didn't, but I want to clear my name as soon as possible. I can't let this accusation ruin my life," Lucas replied, determination in his voice.Andrianne nodded, her heart heavy with worry. She quickly got on the phone with Lucas's lawyer, and they agreed to meet at the FBI headquarters in an hour.As they wa

Andrianne sat on the couch in the living room, staring blankly at the TV screen that had been turned off for hours. She had been restless, unable to find solace in anything around her. All she could think about was Lucas, and the fact that he was sitting in a jail cell, accused of a crime he didn't commit. 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. She knew that the evidence against him was strong, but she couldn't just sit around and wait for his fate to be decided. She had to do something.Her pacing was interrupted by the sound of her phone ringing. She picked it up and saw that it was Jackie calling."Hey, Jackie," Andrianne answered, trying to hide the desperation in her voice."Hey, girl. How you holding up?" Jackie asked.Andrianne sighed. "Not good. I can't stop thinking about Lucas. He's in jail, an

Emily had been trailing Andrianne for days, taking notes of her every move. She knew that Andrianne was the only obstacle standing in her way of getting back together withucas. And she was determined to get rid of her.Andrianne had no idea that she was being followed. She went about her daily routine, which mostly involved going to the hospital for checkups and running errands like grocery shopping. Emily made sure that one of her men was always watching Andrianne, waiting for the perfect time to strike.One day, Andrianne went to the hospital for a routine checkup. Emily's man followed her inside and pretended to be a patient. He sat down in the waiting area and waited for Andrianne to come out. When she did, he followed her outside, keeping a safe distance.Andrianne didn't suspect a thing. She walked to her car, got in and drove off. Emily's man followed her, making sure he wasn't spotted. He trailed her all the way to the grocery store, where Andrianne went in to buy some food.E

Andrianne met with her lawyer, David, in a quiet restaurant in downtown. The walls were decorated with various paintings and the dim lights created a serene atmosphere. They ordered some drinks and food before settling down to business.David listened attentively as Andrianne narrated everything that had happened leading up to Steve's death. She explained how she had walked into the room and found Steve attacking her husband. She described in detail how she had tried to pull Steve off Lucas, but he had turned on her and had started choking her. She recounted how she had grabbed the gun and had fired in self-defense.David nodded as Andrianne spoke. "I see," he said after she had finished. "That is certainly a case of self-defense. However, we need to be careful with the evidence against your husband. If we don't handle this well, he could end up facing charges for the murder of Steve."Andrianne nodded, her face grim. "I know," she said. "That's why I need you to help me. I don't want

David sat across from Andrianne in her luxurious living room, his eyes scanning the documents in front of him. Andrianne sat on the edge of her seat, anxiously waiting for his verdict. Finally, David looked up and gave a small nod."I think I have a plan," he said slowly, his eyes meeting Andrianne's. "But it's risky."Andrianne leaned in, her heart pounding in her chest. "What is it? I'll do anything to help Lucas."David took a deep breath. "We're going to use your pregnancy as leverage."Andrianne's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"David explained his plan in detail. They would use Andrianne's pregnancy as a bargaining chip to get the FBI off Lucas's back. They would tell the FBI that if they didn't drop the charges against Lucas, they would go public with the fact that Andrianne was pregnant with Lucas's child, and that the stress and anxiety caused by the charges could harm the baby.Andrianne looked skeptical. "But what if they don't believe us?"David smiled wryly. "They will.
