CHAPTER 43“Mmm…”She woke to Wulfric’s lips between her thighs.“Ohh…Hmmm…”Her mouth opened as her eyes fluttered shut again, savoring the pleasure he was giving her, first thing in the morning.All she could do was let out soft moans with every hot stroke of Wulfric’s tongue on her core. To give himself better access to her, he spread her legs even wider. It was as if this was her morning greeting from him.She had fallen asleep after the third time Wulfric claimed her the night before. Everything after that had become a blur. The exhaustion and sleeplessness had consumed her, but it didn’t seem to matter to him. Even before the sun had fully risen, he was already aiming for her again. Liz wondered if he ever slept at all.“Ohh!”Her body arched as his tongue swirled around her slit before dragging in a slow, firm lick. He sped up, driving her mad with desire.“S-So good,” she whispered breathlessly, her fingers tangling in Wulfric’s hair.He flicked his tongue over her clit and li
CHAPTER 44"You’re unbelievable!" she snapped, her anger flaring at the audacity of this man who was already thinking about getting her pregnant again, even though they were clearly fighting."Fine, whatever you say. But you will get pregnant again, Elizabeth Kaycee. I made sure I put all my loads—"Before he could finish, Liz grabbed a pillow and hurled it at him with all her strength. The pillow smacked him square in the face, but she didn’t stop there. Fueled by her fury, she continued hitting him over and over again.She momentarily forgot about the soreness between her legs from the night before."Get out, Wulfric! I’m taking my children!" she shouted."Not gonna happen," Wulfric growled, grabbing the pillow from her hands and tossing it aside.She made a move to retrieve it, but he quickly wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her close. “We’re going back to the city, but you’re not leaving with our children. Now that everything’s out in the open, I’ll have the twins’ last na
CHAPTER 45“He’s always working.”Elizabeth glanced at Wulfric, who passed by in front of her, shirtless, holding a bundle of thrift shop clothes while reading something on his phone.He had spent hours handwashing the curtains in that house. She couldn’t believe he actually knew how to do that. At first, she thought he was just showing off, but upon inspecting the laundry, everything was spotless and perfectly done."Where’s Daddy, Momma? We want to see Dad.”She cleared her throat, calling out to Wulfric.“Earl and Lottie are looking for you,” she said, her voice faltering slightly as she quickly averted her gaze. His toned abs were right in front of her, and for a brief moment, she was tempted to trace the lines with her finger."Dad, we miss you already. Come back here now," Earl urged."Mommy doesn’t want to go yet," Wulfric responded, which made her raise her eyebrows in irritation.It was true that she didn’t want to return to the city, but the way he said it made it sound like
CHAPTER 46 Even after Wulfric’s men had dragged the Medical Director away, Elizabeth couldn’t calm down. She was furious, not only at the doctor but also at herself for believing that marrying Wulfric was enough to cover Arthur's hospital bills.“No wonder Martha never wanted me to come here. She was hiding something horrible—doing something so terrible to Arthur. What kind of daughter could do that to her own father?” Cecil said, her voice trembling with tears of anger. She pulled away from Elizabeth’s embrace.“I’m sorry, Liz. I really didn’t know. I knew Arthur and his daughter didn’t get along, but I never imagined she would go this far.”“I’m going to take guardianship of Sir Arthur, Cecil.”“Martha will definitely fight against you on this."“I don’t care! I’m not the same Elizabeth she used to push around.”Elizabeth felt a pang of guilt, knowing that Sir Arthur would never have wanted his eldest daughter to be imprisoned, but she couldn’t simply turn a blind eye to what Marth
CHAPTER 47 Lottie’s screams grew hoarse, but she had no intention of letting go of the boy’s hair. She kept yelling and refused to release her grip, even as Liz tried to pull her away from Angus.“I hate you! We don’t want to play with you anymore, not me or Earl!”“Lottie! Stop it!” Liz said firmly, spinning around to shield Angus from Lottie’s relentless attack. But Lottie kept struggling in her arms, trying to break free.“What are you doing to my son?!”Liz barely had time to steady herself as she was suddenly shoved from behind. Eva yanked Angus to his feet, her eyes blazing with fury.“Are you bullying my child?” Eva accused.“No,” Liz immediately defended herself, choosing to put aside the grudge she held against Eva for now.“Liar! I saw you push my son. Is this because Wulf prefers my child over yours?” Eva sneered.“What are you even talking about?” Liz asked, shaking her head as she dusted off Earl’s legs.“Listen, bitch! If you ever come near my son again, I swear—”Eva’s
CHAPTER 48After dinner, the helpers escorted Lottie and Earl to the lanai to enjoy the chocolate fountain and ice cream, personally prepared by an international chef.The children gave her puppy eyes and sided with their grandfather, and she reluctantly allowed them to go.As she walked through the hallway, her steps halted in front of a large, captivating painting in the second living room. At first glance, she thought it was Angus, a child around nine to thirteen years old, but as she looked more closely, she realized it was actually Wulfric.The painting also featured a younger version of Chairman Cairus Channing and two women. She guessed the woman standing next to the Chairman was Wulfric's mother, while the younger one appeared to be in her late teens.Aside from the household staff, there were no other family members around, which made her curious about the two women in the painting. Wulfric had never mentioned anything about them.The Channings were indeed a secretive family!
CHAPTER 49Eva is Wulfric’s ex-girlfriend?!No wonder Angus kept calling her husband "papa." Everything started to make sense now.Elizabeth and Wulfric were both startled when the elevator doors opened. She was on her way back to their children’s room.“Kitten,” Wulfric called out in a hoarse voice. His unshaven stubble and half-closed eyes made her think he hadn’t slept at all last night.“Kitten,” he called her again, reaching out for her.Without thinking, she instinctively pulled her arm back, causing him to frown.She hid her hand behind her back and offered him a small smile. “Hi. Good morning.”“Why are you keeping what’s mine from me?” he demanded firmly instead.She stepped back as he tried to reach her again, which only deepened the frown on his face.The door at the far end of the hallway suddenly opened, making Wulfric turn sharply in that direction. He glared and angrily asked, “What the fuck did you tell her?”“I don’t want to argue with you. It’s too early,” his father
CHAPTER 50Frustrated, Wulfric ran a hand through his hair, gripping it tightly before squeezing his eyes shut. He never imagined stepping foot inside his father’s lair again. He had cut ties with the Manor ever since his mother and older sister passed away. Every corner of that house was a painful reminder of the worst part of his life.Their family was a complete disaster!His mother was a martyr, while his father did nothing but chase after women.Living like a bachelor, as if he didn’t have a family to consider. He must have thought Wulfric was too young to understand what was happening. Unlike his sister, who would cry along with their mother every time she found out their father had another mistress.Cairus never cared. Wulfric doubted the old man even had the capacity to love.Even when his sister and mother passed away, Cairus remained cold, simply telling him there was nothing he could do—they were gone, and no amount of grief could bring them back.Fuckiing hell!That’s why
CHAPTER 56 The investigation was immediately closed just days after what happened to Arthur. The truck driver who crashed into him was also dead, and Martha didn’t bother to file a case against the company that owned the vehicle.“The cellphone wasn’t among the things recovered from Sir Arthur during the rescue operation. We’re still looking for it.”The weight on her shoulders grew heavier. There was so much she didn’t know. She had settled into the idea that she was the reason for her stepfather’s coma.She paced back and forth in front of him.“Who was he talking to? That person is definitely responsible for all of this, Wulf.”“We’re getting there, Kitten. We have a list of suspects, but we need evidence.”“Martha—”“She’s one of the suspects,” he agreed with her accusation.“Who else could have done it but her?” Her anger towards the woman surged again. Wulfric reached for her hand, gently stroking it, slowly calming her down.“We’re also looking for Eldrige, Sir Arthur’s secret
CHAPTER 55"One, two, three. Charge!"Sir Arthur's body jerked as the defibrillator pads pressed against his chest."Again! Increase the charge!"It was only when a hand gently gripped her arm that Elizabeth snapped out of her daze."Ma'am, we need to step outside," a nurse said, deliberately blocking her view of Arthur."No. I'm staying here!” she screamed when they stepped in her way, preventing her from getting closer to the patient."Papa! Pa! Let me get close!"Wulfric's security team rushed back into the room, this time pulling her away. She cried and struggled, her vision blurry with tears, but she could still clearly see Arthur's heart rate spike before crashing back to a flatline."Let go of me! That's my father! Papa!""Ma'am, please cooperate. We'll be in trouble with Sir Wulfric if you don't. Please, come with us," one of them pleaded as they restrained her, pinning her wrists as they carried her out of the room.They set her down at the end of the hallway, but as soon as
CHAPTER 54They didn’t have dinner the previous night.After their moment on the countertop, Wulfric carried her to the living room, and eventually, they ended up in the master bedroom.Her sleep was interrupted several times, waking to find him between her thighs again, or sometimes, already inside her, thrusting deeply.So, by the time she woke the next day, it was already afternoon. She found herself alone in bed, wearing one of Wulfric’s loose t-shirts and boxer shorts. Feeling a mixture of hunger and the soreness in her body, she forced herself to get up and head to the bathroom.Wulfric found her washing her face. He had already prepared a warm bath for her, complete with her favorite bath bombs, filling the room with a delightful fragrance.She had plenty of stocks of these in both the master’s and the guest room, along with her other hygiene products that filled the bathroom cabinet. Wulfric never complained about it. In fact, he once helped her shop and organize everything in
CHAPTER 53“I-I’m not,” she whispered in reply.“I should be the one cooking—spoiling you with food and delights.”“It’s nothing much. Just lasagna and—”“Roast beef, apple pie. All made with effort and love.”Her heart pounded. Did he know? Could Wulfric sense that she’s in love with him?“Lottie and Earl often boast that you always cook them food with love.”“Y-Yeah…” she let out an awkward laugh, relieved that he hadn’t caught on.“Tell me more about them.”“They’re not picky eaters.” She suddenly felt excited to talk about their children and to share more. “Did you know that when they were babies, Lottie loved sweet potatoes? And Earl, he’d chew on corn even though he didn’t have teeth yet.”Wulfric’s eyes sparkled with interest, encouraging her to continue.“I’d gather those from the backyard or sometimes get extra supplies from the hacienda that people gave away. Whenever I dug up sweet potatoes, Lottie always trailed behind me.”“She’s clingy.”“Very,” she giggled, momentarily
CHAPTER 52“W-Wulf, maybe we could—”“No,” he cut her off firmly, shaking his head. “I already know what you’re going to say, Kitten. I won’t let you be soft-hearted about this. Have you forgotten what Martha did to Arthur?”“But I just feel sorry for them, and—”“I already gave in to you earlier. She made you suffer, and she even threatened to kill our children before they were even born. That woman is pure evil, and I would fight her to protect you and our kids. Honestly, I should have shot that bitch when I had the chance!”Before she could respond, Wulfric knelt in front of her, catching her off guard. She grimaced as he pressed a clean handkerchief against the wound on her knee.“Look at what you’ve done to yourself. You should’ve called me instead of climbing over the fence.”She pouted. “Rufus is such a snitch.”“He’s loyal to me. You nearly gave him a heart attack.”“I’ll apologize. Where is he?”Wulfric didn’t answer, and from his silence, she quickly sensed that there was mo
CHAPTER 51 She still couldn’t believe what she had discovered, especially after seeing the undeniable proof that Arthur’s properties had been under her name for a long time. No matter how she looked at it, she couldn’t understand why he did it. Martha was his daughter, not her.What shocked her even more was the extent of Arthur's assets. He owned several properties abroad, including condo buildings and commercial establishments that generated monthly income. It was more than enough to cover his medical expenses.If Eldridge knew about all of this, why had he insisted that she marry in exchange for the money?“Please wake up now, Papa. Earl and Lottie want to meet you.” She carefully wiped Arthur’s body as she spoke.The doctor had informed her earlier that there were some improvements. His body was starting to respond to the medication.Her thoughts were interrupted when Cecil stumbled into the room, looking as if she might faint. Liz rushed to her side as the housekeeper clung to h
