I Accidentally Married The Tycoon's Heir Not too late
Today was going to be a busy day. After checking his schedules, he knew he might never get the chance to go out with Jennifer as he had promised her. Also, he was planning to visit his grandfather after the board meeting scheduled to commence in the morning. As the vice chairman his presence was imperiously needed, many things had to be done at the company which was why he was leaving early.“Do you need me to drive you to the company today, sir?” Mr. Robert enquired on their way out.“I don't think that'll be necessary,” Lucien replied, not looking at him. On their way to the living room, he encountered Margaret, without sparing her a glance he walked past her, feigning ignorance of her presence. “All right, Sir.”Mr. Robert pivoted his head to look behind, he saw how she walked with reluctance with her gaze fixed on him instead of where she was heading. How many months had been since they were back to living like strangers? Perhaps two months now. Also, he could see how cold he had
I Accidentally Married The Tycoon's Heir Coincidence
“Maybe instead of waiting for Lilith to catch up with us, Mr. Robert can drive you to the industry.” Lucien implied, ignoring the awkwardness that had evolved in the car. Ever since she hopped in the car with him, she hadn't spared him a glance. Her gaze was once lowered to her entwined hands on her lap before staving off her gaze to the window, scrutinizing in a calm steady manner. She parted her lips, moistening her lower lip before speaking up. “Don’t you have somewhere to be, Mr. Redgrave? You appeared to be heading somewhere important earlier. I appreciate your offer but I beg to decline.” Her voice was softer and calmer than before, however, her reaction hadn't changed because she was still clenching one of her fists.Not like he couldn't read the room, he vaguely could guess that she was comfortless being around him. Still, he couldn't understand why she was on her guard around him. “It’s nowhere important. And if I may ask, is everything all right?”“I believe my location was
I Accidentally Married The Tycoon's Heir Babysitting a pregnant woman
“Remind me again. What are we doing here, Gwen? Didn't you say you want to spend your day hopping all around the house and then go shopping as a break after being swamped with tons of work for months? So tell me, why are we here again?” Lilith sniveled dramatically, emphasizing her words while following her inside.Gwendolyn chuckled softly. Understanding Lilith’s reluctance; she already knew what she was thinking because anyone could guess that the only time she showed up at the mansion was either to get scolded by her father or to amend her mistake. However, the case was a bit different today. Today, however, They had a special role to play.“Kathryn invites me over. That's why we're here.” She explained with a warm smile across her face, hoping that she would buy it.Her expression became sour, knowing what awaited them, Lilith wished she could just turn around and run. “So we're here to babysit a pregnant woman.”She nodded. “Dad went on a business trip and she's alone. You know s
I Accidentally Married The Tycoon's Heir A reason to let you go
“Have you forgotten about our plan tonight?” His eyes narrowed down at her and his shapely cut eyebrows furrowed.“I don't remember ever telling you I'll be going out with you tonight. Also, I distinctly remember turning you down.”He let out a soft scoff. “I don't take no for an answer, Gwen. Moreover, you're already dressed and you look ravishing tonight, the dress looks good on you.” He complimented her, maintaining his natural demeanor.She gasped. Not like he gave a certain expression she was hoping to see but hearing him compliment her surprised her and she was nearly speechless. “Wh-what…thank you.” She stuttered.Eventually, a short smile snakes across his warm face. “Then shall we?”Gwendolyn was left speechless for a brief moment, how she was supposed to handle the situation perplexed her. She was aware Jeffery would be at her place at any moment and also Lucien was the last person she wanted to be with tonight, especially when she wasn't clear-headed. She moistened her low

“I'm not supposed to tell you this.”Perplexed, his brow ceased. “Tell me what? Did my grandfather threaten you?”She groaned with frustration and dampened her lower lip to hide her anxiety but her lips were still trembling. She attained her erect posture, staring deeply into his mariner blue eyes, she breathed out slowly and then turned to the chair. She sat down and gestured to him to do the same. However, he remained on his feet, stuffed his hands in his pockets, impatiently waiting for her to divulge every secret she was holding in.“I was invited to Redgrave mansion, and at first, I thought it was you who sent the invite. It turned out to be your grandfather, Mr. Robert, who approached me. I realize that what I did to you was terrible. However, I want to remind you that I asked for your consent, and you agreed to marry me. I didn't understand why people thought I had forced you into this. If you had refused that day, I would have accepted it, although I might have still tried to

“I surmise I was worried for nothing.” Immediately after the teleconference ended Margaret puffed out a sigh of relief, shuffling away from him to get seated on the couch in his home office. “It’s late,” He glanced over the wall clock. It was already past midnight and he was tired after a long day. If the project wasn't important to Margaret he wouldn’t have assisted her. His resting time was important to him more than anything else.“Thank you so much. I'm so lucky you're my husband, Lucien.” She muttered, pausing for air before continuing. “There's something I'd like to discuss with you but it seems that you're drained tonight. Maybe tomorrow.” She struggled with words, hoping that wouldn't provoke him.“Yes, I'm tired and I can't listen to anything right now. Also don't get your hopes up,” He shut his laptop, rose from his swirling office chair, then took his phone on his desk and headed toward the door. She watched him until he exited the office. She puffed out a despairing sigh

“Did you also threaten Mr. Robert the same way you threatened Gwendolyn?” Mr. Redgrave grinned cunningly. He spun around, walked up to a couch in his bedroom, and sat down carefully, holding his walk-stick close. He cupped his chin, staring at his grandson in a calm steady manner. “Did he say I threatened him?” His lips cropped into an indignation frown.“Isn’t that what you always do? Using people's weakness against them.”“Is that what you think of me, Lucien? Would you say that to the man who raised you and your siblings? That aside, Mr. Carey called me. Why are you bringing up a divorce now after two years of your marriage to his daughter?” “It has nothing to do with you.” He retorted.“It has everything to do with your grandfather. Have you forgotten we have a bargain?” He reminded him. If perhaps he had forgotten, he was more willing to remind him about it all.His body pulsed up with anger. Every word his grandfather said kept hitting his nerves. He was at the peak of losing

“Hi, Gwen.” He grinned winsomely, however, she leveled him a killer look as she contracted her lips into a frown.“You haven't answered my damn question. Are you stalking me now?” She seethed.“I’m not. Why are you avoiding me again? I thought we already talked about this yesterday. You won't answer my call or reply to my text, why are you doing this?” He enquired calmly, with one of his hands stuffed in his pocket.She hissed quietly as she rolled her eyes. “I told you, I don't want trouble. I just hope you'll understand this and leave me alone…because you're making everything hard for me by showing up before me. I can't deal with all of this.” She wagged her hands in the air, whimpering with frustration while trying not to look at him.Hearing that, he skipped a few strides close to her. He extended his hand to touch her so she could look at him but he hesitated. “Making everything hard for you? That's not what I'm trying to do. Do you have some minutes? Let's talk somewhere else, i

I Accidentally Married The Tycoon's Heir His unexpected arrival
“Your three days are over. Tell me, why should I accept that actress who supposedly used you?” The weight of frustration hung heavily in his mind as he whimpered, his voice laced with desperation. “How many times must I tell you that she didn’t use me? Shouldn’t you be grateful that she’s the reason I’m alive? You’re the one who refuses to accept Gwen, but I’m not marrying anyone other than her. I love her, and that should be all you need to know. Stop being such a stubborn old man.” Though Lucien’s anger had dissipated, a certain stubbornness still clouded his grandfather's acceptance of the woman he adored. He could sense that the unexpected invitation to the office was merely a prelude to their confrontation. “Of course, I'm mostly grateful for that. I would have given her a tower of gold if she was wise enough to report you missing the moment she found you. My great-grandchildren shouldn’t have a mother like her.” He declared, his voice steeped in disdain. “My children don't de
I Accidentally Married The Tycoon's Heir Her ardent fan
After showering, she sidled across the room to his walk-in closet. She selected a long blue shirt and wore it over her pants, the shirt barely reached her thighs, and her curly hair tumbled over her shoulders. She glanced at the mirror on her way out of the closet, she noticed her nipples were conspicuous, stiffened in the shirt, but she barely cared about that. She stroked a strand of hair behind her ear and dampened her lower lip.She seemed refreshed. Their conversation replayed in her head, echoing in her mind as each word reminded her of a tingling feeling she felt earlier. When he asked if she wanted to get married, she felt the yen to say yes if it was him; remarrying him would be a wish come true, but Gwendolyn still assumed they could be fucking buddies until both of them got tired of each other. After all, she believed it would happen one day. ‘If it's you then I don't mind. ’ She hit her forehead when she recalled what she said. She only said that during the heat of the mom
I Accidentally Married The Tycoon's Heir A proposal
As the echoes of the conference meeting faded away, leaving behind an air thick with unspoken words, the last few attendees ambled out of the hall, their footsteps becoming feeble. A palpable tension hung in the atmosphere, settling heavily on Jace's mind like a suffocating air. He remained seated, his thoughts a chaotic like a total disaster, knowing all too well that he needed to confront the unyielding silence that stretched between him and Lucien. Every time their eyes locked, a flicker of unquenchable curiosity sparkled in Lucien's gaze, silently pleading for acknowledgment. He despised not talking to his elder brother and he didn't want to be the first person to break the eerie silence.“You look like someone who just lost his first love, Jace. What's the matter? Are you going to stay angry at me forever?” Lucien's voice sliced through the stillness, a sharp voice to the thick awkwardness they had both been sidestepping for days.Jace hardly reacted to the teasing remark. His ex
I Accidentally Married The Tycoon's Heir Her final decision
Immediately the call disconnected, Gwendolyn swerved around to look at him, holding her phone tightly. Her countenance wasn't pleasant, she was still worried despite her father assuring her everything was fine, he just needed her to be at the hospital with her stepmom.“Is everything all right?” His brows furrowed with confusion. Seeing how worried she looked, he couldn't gauge if everything was all right.With a shake of her head, “I’m not sure. I should be heading to the hospital now. He said she needs me there like I'm a doctor. I wonder if everything is fine as he said.” She enunciated impatiently. She stepped away from the chair, and then to the exit. Lucien tagged behind her as both of them ascended the stairs together. ”Hospital? Did something happen? Did he tell you what happened?“Yes. Remember I told you she's pregnant, right? I think it's almost time. She might be feeling uncomfortable. She'll need me there. She's in her third trimester. Fuck, I'm supposed to keep my phone
I Accidentally Married The Tycoon's Heir A night to remember
In the next second, they were back in his bedroom, still engaged in a passionate and lips-devouring smooch. Gwendolyn could scarcely explain how he brought her back to his room, the only thing she knew was when she eventually opened her eyes to look at him, they were both on their feet near the king-size bed. His mouth left hers in a swift motion, grazing her cheek down to her neck with kisses, her body quivering with nervousness. She was feeling nervous, and at the same time, her need was about to make her lose her mind. Every time his tongue brushed on her skin, her stomach always tingled. Suddenly, his hand caressed her back slowly, vaguely searching for a string. There, he found the zip. He zipped down her gown with reluctance. Even though he already felt his erection, hardening below, he was more willing to create room for a change of heart, if she wanted. Nevertheless, she wasn't going to stop him, they had both lost their minds in the pool of lust and love.“Ah, Lucien,” She
