CHAPTER 77 (PART 2)

“Was it an arranged marriage? Didn’t you love each other?”

“I truly loved Mathilda. But there were things we couldn’t agree on. My love for her faded, especially when Eleanor came into my life.”

“You loved Mama?”

“Of course. Why do you think you were born?”

Elizabeth couldn’t respond. For all she knew, it could have just been a fleeting passion. She kept her thoughts to herself, not wanting to risk offending her father.

“I loved your mother until her last breath.”

“Do you have any pictures of her? I barely remember what she looked like.”

“You were so young when she passed away,” Arthur said softly. “I still have her photos. I’ll give them to you.”

She suddenly remembered the few belongings her mother had left behind that stored in her room for over a year.

Oddly, she didn’t feel emotional hearing Arthur confirm that she was his daughter. The truth had already settled into her life. What once felt shocking now seemed almost ordinary. Perhaps it was because she had a

    CHAPTER 78Liz hurried down the stairs as soon as she heard Wulfric’s car pull up outside the mansion. Ignoring the cold that seeped through her silk robe, she rushed to greet her husband.She threw her arms around him and buried her face against his chest. The faint smell of menthol cigarettes and alcohol lingered on him.“You’re still awake,” Wulfric murmured.“I was waiting for you. Where have you been?”He wrapped his arms around her small waist, and she exhaled in relief. He’s not mad at me.“Did I worry you?” he asked softly.“Very much.”“I was out with Dox and Rufus.”“You were drinking? At a club?” A lump formed in her throat at the thought of him surrounded by women. Of course, they would notice her husband—he always attracted attention.“No. We were hunting someone’s head.”“Huh?” She tilted her head up to look at him, wondering if he was joking. The last time Wulfric said something like that, Eva had almost died.“W-Who?”“He doesn’t matter.”“You didn’t… kill him, did you

    CHAPTER 79The coat slipped to the floor as Wulfric carried her into the bedroom.Their breaths mingled, her arms wrapped tightly around his neck and her legs locked around his waist.“You missed me that much?” His deep voice sent shivers down her spine. She couldn’t help but smile against his lips with a flush creeping across her cheeks.“Why are you smiling, Kitten?” he asked, his tone teasing yet laced with heat. His large hand squeezed her firmly that trailed down to caress her exposed thighs.She relished the roughness of his touch, the way his calloused palms ignited a familiar fire within her. The thought of her thin nightdress beneath the silk robe only heightened her anticipation.Her husband had a habit of tearing her delicate clothes to shreds before devouring her completely—and she loved every second of it.“You’ve calmed down now,” she murmured, her fingers tracing the sharp angles of his jaw. She tilted her head boldly while meeting his fiery kiss with equal fervor.“I’m

    CHAPTER 80Elizabeth’s body still ached, a lingering reminder of Wulfric’s relentless passion from the night before. She winced slightly as she prepared for work, leaving her husband fast asleep in their bed, utterly exhausted after keeping her up until the early hours of the morning.The moment she entered the office, her secretary, Shanaya, greeted her with a warm smile and quickly rushed over to help with her things.“Good morning, Shanaya. Any progress on securing the endorser we need?”“None so far, Ma’am. The talent fees for celebrities these days are ridiculously high.”“Are they at least guaranteed to have a big following?”“Yes, Ma’am, but only three have responded to our audition emails. Unfortunately, Benzone’s been overshadowed by other telco companies for years, so we’re not exactly a priority for them.”“What?” Elizabeth sank into her chair.“We’ve been falling behind in the market, Ma’am.”“What’s the marketing team doing about this? They should be on top of the latest

    CHAPTER 81 "Allenon?""Are you a fan of his, Ma’am?" Shanaya asked in awe while her gaze darting between her and the man in the studio room."I know him," she replied, pointing at the man she had met before at the island resort she visited with Wulfric.The last time she saw him was at the hospital, the same day she first saw Eva and Wulfric together."Wow! No wonder he was interested in becoming one of our endorsers.""He's a model?""Yes, Ma’am. A renowned supermodel. He’s the one everyone was fussing over in the lobby earlier."Many models and talents had auditioned for them, especially since her husband had tripled the talent fee offer."So far, the marketing team is leaning toward him to endorse our brand. His international fanbase will definitely draw attention to our product.""Make sure to brief him about the contract," she instructed."Yes, Ma’am."Elizabeth stepped out of the audition room, only for Catherine to catch up with her. It had been a few days since Catherine star

    CHAPTER 82Why was she always getting dragged into Catherine and Anderson's misery?She had her own share of heartbreak in the past, but she never involved anyone else in her struggles.If she weren’t so kind-hearted, she would’ve told her ex-boyfriend outright that he deserved every punch Wulfric threw at him.Still frowning, she slid the keycard into Dorothea’s condo unit door.“Dory—” Her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when she saw her best friend kissing Rufus.Dorothea let out a high-pitched scream and shoved the man away. She even slapped him before frantically pushing him out of the unit.“Get out! Shoo! Pervert! R ape! R ape!”Elizabeth stood frozen in place. How could that be considered assault when Dorothea had clearly been enjoying herself? Her eyes were even closed in bliss during the kiss.“My lips!” Dorothea stomped her foot while furiously wiping her mouth.“B-But… h-how…?”“That pervert isn’t my boyfriend!” Dorothea fumed, her hands flailing dramatically. “He’

    CHAPTER 83 The moment Wulfric stepped off the chopper, he immediately turned on his phone. As soon as the screen lit up, a call from Angus came through, prompting him to glance at the time with a frown.“Daddy, Momma isn’t here yet,” Lottie greeted him from the other end of the line.It was almost midnight, and his kids were still awake. Worse, his wife was nowhere to be found.“Nanny Melba picked us up from school. Where are you, Daddy? Is Momma with you?”Rubbing his temple, Wulfric decided to change the topic. “You should be sleeping now, Lottie.”“We don’t have classes tomorrow, Daddy. We're preparing for Family Day.”“Where are your brothers?”“They’re here beside me. We’re practicing our dance. Nanny Melba is supposed to watch us, but she fell asleep. Her mouth is even wide open, Daddy!”“Give the phone back to Angus, Princess.”Even without seeing her, Wulfric knew his youngest was pouting. “Okay, Daddy.”Once Angus was back on the line, Wulfric gave instructions to wake Melba

Shanaya immediately followed up.“Pardon, Sir?”Wulfric’s lips pressed into a thin line as he stared directly at Shanaya. “Just do as I said. Send me the amount of the penalty. If I need to triple it, that’s not a problem.”“Wulf!” she exclaimed while tugging at his hand in protest.But her husband didn’t let go. In fact, his grip tightened seemingly irritated by her attempt to intervene.“If there are papers she needs to sign, bring them to our house. I’ll send a driver to pick you up.”“No! I’m going to the office myself.”Wulfric ignored her since his attention fixed on Shanaya, who simply nodded obediently. Despite being her employee, Shanaya had no choice but to follow Wulfric’s orders. Shanaya knew full well that the Channings had financially supported Benzone for years. If you tallied up all the money and connections Wulfric had poured into the company, it was clear that not even the entire firm would suffice to rep

    CHAPTER 90 (PART 2)He shook his head in dismay, even though he’d always known how irresponsible his father could be. Saying something like that to Angus felt like treating the boy as a dog that could simply be given away.“I love Momma and Papa. But you’re my father, Chairman. Papa Wulf may not like it.”“Use your brain, kid. I’m giving you an idea to have a complete family. Your mother isn’t coming back.”“Don’t you like me, Chairman?”The sad tone of his brother’s voice made Wulfric’s jaw tighten. He could tell Angus was holding back tears and struggling not to break down.“You’re a bastard. There’s no place for you—”Wulfric’s patience snapped. He kicked the door open with force. His fists clenched as he stormed toward the two, and both frozen in shock at his sudden appearance.“You motherfucker! Heartless old man!”“We’re having a conversation, Nikolaus Wulfric. I didn’t ask you here to my office,” Chairman Channing said coldly.“Fuck your rules.” Wulfric pointed at Angus. “He’s

A sharp gasp escaped Elizabeth as her husband raised his hand, ready to punch his father.“Wulfric!”His eyes blazing with anger. Despite her fear, Elizabeth grabbed his arm and pulled down his clenched fist. But Wulfric yanked her down the stairs without care, his long strides dragging her along. The pain in her injured foot worsened with every step.Tears threatened to spill, but she bit them back and endured the ache.When they reached the car parked near the front door, Wulfric practically shoved her inside.“We’re going home,” he said coldly.“But you already agreed the kids and I could stay here tonight.”“That was before I saw you talking to Cairus!” he snapped, walking around to the driver’s seat.“He’s your father. My father-in-law. The children’s grandfather!” she reasoned, listing the obvious but none of it seemed to sink in.“I don’t want you talking to him. Or to any other man!”Elizabeth flin

He grabbed her wrist, and nearly twisted it as he forcibly pulled her away from the older woman’s hand.“Let go of my mom!” Angus wailed and kicked the man’s legs in a desperate attempt to free her.The child’s cries grew louder when the man shoved him to the floor.“Uncle Itho, you're hurting our cousin!” Francheska screamed, before rushing to Angus’s side.Logan and the other cousins quickly stepped in, shielding Elizabeth from further harm. Holand seized Itho’s arm and yanked him away.“Stay away from Lady Channing,” Holand said coldly, his voice sharp enough to cut through the chaos.“You’re just a servant of the Chairman,” Itho sneered.Holand moved closer, his presence chilling the room further

    CHAPTER 88 More than half of the guests were strangers to Elizabeth. When she was introduced as Wulfric’s wife, a few raised their brows, giving her a once-over from head to toe.Others, however, welcomed her warmly. Logan had been right—Chairman Channing’s distant relatives were traditional in their thinking. On the other hand, her husband’s generation was the complete opposite of their parents.“You should come with us, Lizzy!” Francheska exclaimed enthusiastically. She was Logan and Suzane’s sister, all three being second cousins to her husband on his father’s side.“Don’t influence my wife, Cheska. I know exactly what you’re up to,” Wulfric warned. His arm firmly wrapped around Elizabeth’s waist.“You’re such a killjoy, Wolfy.”“Don’t push it, Ches,” Logan said with a laugh. “Wulf could cut your allowance.”Francheska pouted dramatically, hooking her arm around Elizabeth’s and leaning on her as if pleading.“Wolfy is so grumpy,” she whispered that made Elizabeth stifle a giggle.

His nose brushed against the curve of her neck as he inhaled deeply. He had been craving the scent of her skin all evening.“It’s soundproof,” he murmured.“Even so…”He tightened his grip on her waist. “I can do whatever I want with you here, Kitten.”She gasped softly as his hand slid up the high slit of her gown.Men’s eyes would undoubtedly linger on Elizabeth’s creamy legs and delicate neck tonight—both of which needed his mark.Elizabeth winced as Wulfric’s lips grazed the sensitive curve of her neck, his hot breath sending a shiver down her spine.“Wulf…” she whispered, making him smirk with satisfaction.Her knees weakened as she leaned against him for s

    CHAPTER 87 (PART 1)“Daddy, carry me.”Without hesitation, he scooped up his youngest daughter, who immediately snuggled into the crook of his neck. Wulfric’s heart softened at the gesture, but the tender moment was short-lived as his gaze shifted to the staircase.Elizabeth came down the stairs, and his breath caught in his chest. His wife looked absolutely stunning in a gown that exposed her shoulders and back—no, no, no…His eyes searched for Suzane, ready to give her a piece of his mind for letting his wife wear such a revealing dress. It was too sexy. He could practically see her skin, her back—damn, he was going to lose all his blood.“Change your gown,” he barked out.Instead of complying, Elizabeth merely shot him a sharp look and gave him a mocking little sneer. His jaw clenched as thoughts of pinning her down on the bed flashed through his mind. Or maybe, they shouldn’t even go to Cairus’s birthday party. He knew he’d just end up jealous with every man who looked at her.Eli

If you hear any crap during Chairman’s birthday, just assume they're trying to clean their own mess,” Logan quipped, throwing an arm casually over her shoulder.Elizabeth immediately shrugged it off and glared at him.“Get out of my office,” she said coldly while smacking him with her bag. “I didn’t give Wulfric the right to dictate my work.”“But you’re married,” he replied with a smirk.Her glare sharpened, prompting Logan to raise both hands defensively. “I’m just saying… conjugal property, and all that.”“Oh, so by that logic, I have every right to meddle in the Channing Empire’s affairs?” she challenged.“Well, technically… yeah. You could manage Nick’s shares in the Empire. Fair is fair.”“Then do us both a favor and get out of my office so we can end this nonsense,” she hissed and stormed towards the door.But Logan stepped in her way to block the exit. “Sorry, Cousin-in-law. I can’t give the position back.”“Are you not afraid of me?” s
