LUCILLE At that moment, everyone's attention was on us. The few notable guests who were invited to the party started whispering and gossiping amongst themselves. Ramsey was popularly classified as an unfilial son. Even, sometime 5 years ago, I saw the news where he was accused of killing his parents. The guests gossiped and were pointing fingers at us. Noah and his father rushed to where Lily was and quickly helped her up. "What do you think you are doing, Ramsey? Has the devil fed you another portion of food?" His brother, Noah's father let out, angered. The finger he pointed to Ramsey's face was trembling like a leaf beside the river. Although he was furious, he was still scared of his brother. He knew he didn't have a quarter of his brother's wealth and power. If he tried to stand up against him, without a doubt, he would be the one at the losing end. A sly smile swiftly flashed across Lily's eyes. She thought nobody saw that action but I did. I scoffed inwardly, "A w
LUCILLE I was praying fervently inside me that the ground should open for me to hide in it because I was so ashamed. Ramsey didn't lose the opportunity to laugh and make fun of me. Was I expecting something too?He went to the door, opened it, and said to me before he went out, "Don't get ahead of yourself, Lucille. A contract binds us together and until the contract ends, you can't grow useless emotions," The door slammed after he said this in a cold voice. Listening to him I nodded my head in acknowledgment. He was really saying the fact. We were bound by a contract. In fact, I was the one who needed his help so I wasn't supposed to be running more than my shadow. Well, the feeling of disappointment erupted within me. Definitely, something had gone wrong with me because I didn't seem to understand why I was feeling disappointed because he didn't do what I was expecting. Meanwhile in one of the rooms in the old house. Lily got to the room, removed her shoes, and threw them ag
NARRATOR Rosemary couldn't hide her hatred. She sprang up and went inside to look for Noah. After searching for 5 minutes, she saw Noah chatting with a guest. She rushed to his side and whispered some words into his ears. With a bright side, Noah politely excused himself and they went to one of the rooms. "I saw that stupid Lucille now and she is with a man who is referring to you as his nephew," She didn't let them walk in before letting out. Noah heaved. He just finished solving a problem with his mother and now, it was Rosemary. "Yeah! That's Ramsey Rowe, my uncle. Apparently, they both claimed they were married to each other," The information was too much for Rosemary to assimilate at once. First, the man wasn't just Noah's uncle but the Zillionaire Ramsey Rowe. Secondly, the girl she hated and snatched her boyfriend from was married to him. She went numb as she felt like a gallon of water was poured on her body. This was more than a slap. Snatching Noah from Lucil
LUCILLEUnexpectedly, the Germans approached with a new venture proposal. They revealed their intent to establish a fashion design company in this region but were hesitant to entrust it to just anyone. After being impressed by my previous interactions with them, they have decided to entrust me with the role of CEO. In exchange, they require only a 70% share in the profit.I couldn't believe my ears and asked them to repeat themselves. The same offer was reiterated, leaving me in disbelief. I even had to pinch myself to make sure it wasn't a dream. The stinging sensation confirmed its reality.In shock, my eyes widened.What just happened?I turned to Ramsey and relayed the proposal from the Germans.With excitement, he encouraged me to proceed.We discussed the company's location and other details. They promised to bring the contract the next day and left.If this was what people meant by "divine favor," then I couldn't deny it. It truly was God's favor. His favor had found me.The pa
I must commend Rosemary for her unwavering determination. Despite my presence, she remained unshaken and tried her best to turn Ray against me.Her boyfriend Noah also played a part. "I must warn you, you are making a grave mistake by trusting Lucille's words. We know her like the back of our hands. She is deceitful and eloquent. She has a way of hypnotizing people with her smooth talk," their actions made me feel sick. But I knew they wouldn't give up easily. I wondered what they were feeling as they did all of this.Ray, the designer, became visibly flustered after hearing their words. It was natural for her to be wary of getting scammed. After all, she barely knew me. We had only spoken on the phone for the first time yesterday, after discussing my plans for the fashion industry. But she had shown eagerness to partner up and dominate the world of clothing design.With a mix of complex emotions, she looked at me, seeking a defensive explanation. If they were spreading false rumor
NARRATOR Meanwhile, Rosemary's belly surged with different inexplicable emotions as she stormed into her house. The scene at the mall couldn't stop replaying itself in her head. Even if she wanted to be embarrassed by anyone, it shouldn't be Lucille. The fact that she had nothing to attack Lucille back made her anger boost. "How did that happen? Did Ramsey give her that huge amount of money?"As Lucille said, she had underrated her, but who would think Ramsey was already stupidly in love with her to give her that amount of money? "No! This isn't supposed to happen. Ramsey is not supposed to fall into the hands of that wretched girl, Lucille. I must do something," She thought, picking up her phone and dialing a number. Also, in Noah's house. "What!" Lily sprang up. Her face tightened as if she had just seen a ghost. "Ramsey really gave her that outrageous amount of money...? Even this family's net worth is not up to that and an obnoxious girl like her already ha
NARRATORJackie excitedly hopped out of the store with her eyes fixed on the makeup kit she got.Getting to where she left Lucille, she didn't meet her but the goods they got were scattered on the floor.At that moment, her heart gripped in fear but a part of her was telling her the probability of Lucille visiting the restroom. She followed her heart and went to check the restrooms one after another, but there was no sight of Lucille.Her body quivered. She could hear the thumping of her heart as different unspeakable thoughts emerged in her head.She brought out her phone and put a call through to her. It rang but there was no pick. At that point, she knew something was not right. "Lucille! Lucille, please be fine," Jackie muttered repeatedly as she checked her phone for Ramsey's contact. Brimming tears lingered in her eyes as she glanced at her phone unblinkingly.She couldn't find his contact on her phone. "Fuck! I don't have his contact," Without wasting another second of her
LUCILLE I was astounded beyond words when I saw Ramsey running toward me. Darkness shrouded his eyes and a terrific aura radiated from him as he moved closer.As soon as he got to where I was standing, without letting me talk, he pulled me into a hug. My lips moved but nothing came out. After 2 minutes, which seemed like a long time, he broke the hug and inspected my body one after the other. "Are you hurt anywhere? Where did those scumbags touch you? Did they raise their voices on you?" He inquired restlessly, raising my hands up and almost turning me around. There were evident signs of worries on his face and they almost made wrinkles appear on it. I was puzzled. Why do I feel like this man cares so much? Still, I didn't want to feed myself with false and crazy assumptions, so I shrugged the thoughts off. The cold-hearted man holding me didn't appear like he could care about anyone except his business. "Where are they? They are going to regret ever touching what belongs
LUCILLEA part of my brows raised in confusion as I wondered why she was in my office. And she wasn't just in my office but also sitting in my seat. "Mr. Matthew!" I called, clicking my heels on the Italian floor as I walked toward my chair. When Rosemary saw me, her mouth curled into a sinister smile. "Oh! You are here, Mrs. Lucille," "Yeah! What's going on? Why is she here?" I asked, darting my gaze on the Germans. I intentionally didn't pay Rosemary attention. She wasn't worth it. "That's the main reason we are here. After much.....," I stopped him before he could continue his statement. "I'm sorry, but can you teach the girl you brought some manners? She should know better not to sit on a seat that isn't hers," I spat without looking at her. My voice was already becoming rude. "Ah! Miss Rosemary, that isn't right. Please, come and sit with us." For some seconds, Rosemary stared at me unblinking as if she had something to say, she then stood up and sat on the
Chapter 52 Ramsey was in a state of shock. He glared at me, unblinking. I didn't spare him a glance. I didn't have his time yet. "You want my husband, huh? " I shouted, pulling her hair roughly. When she tried to fight back, I snatched her hand and twisted it aggressively. "Haven't you exhibited enough displays of shame? How dare you covet my husband?" My grip was getting tighter and harsher. Her screams were getting louder. Ramsey was scared I might make her pass out and he rushed toward us. Before he could get to my side, I sent him hateful and threatening stares which rendered him powerless, and sent him back to the bed he stood up from. I pushed Emilia to the couch and tied her hands with Ramsey's tie that I found on the floor. Afterward, I rummaged through her room and found a rope that I used to tie her to the couch. "Your punishment is simple. You just have to sit here and watch what you can never feel or taste," I mumbled. Ramsey and Emilia were stupefied and c
LUCILLE "$10 million!" Ramsey shouted, raising his number tag.Deafening silence clouded the hall. It was silent enough for the sound of a fallen needle to be heard. The guests fixed their eyes on us, surprised but my husband's face was as calm as a dove.Sheepishly, my head dropped because I couldn't withstand the effect of the piercing eyes on my body. "The bid for the necklace will close at one, two, and three," The man shouted, ringing the bell. "Why did you do that? That was a lot of money," It came out from me in a breathy whisper.Indifferently, he stared at me and retracted his gaze after some seconds, picked up the glass of wine on the table, and sipped it, "You love it!" He answered in a simple manner without looking at my face.I was stupefied. It was too much. I couldn't believe he spent that amount of money on that necklace just because I loved it.After an hour and a half, the auction ended and people were asked to merry until they were ready to leave.While seate
LUCILLE "Fuck! Why did you...." Before I could complete my statement, his huge dick slid into my pussy. A soft moan escaped my mouth. "You are so delicious, babe. I cannot have enough of you," Ramsey let out, thrusting his dick in and out of my pussy slowly. Then, his pace grew faster. In the room, our bodies entwined as we dived into pleasure, lust, and satisfaction. *. *. * By the time it was morning, I was already tired because Ramsey didn't let me go until it was almost dawn. I didn't know where he got his strength from but he seemed to get stronger at every sex round. Maybe it was because it had been long since we last had it. "Babe! Wake up," He muttered, pinching my cheeks as he forced me up. Stretching and grumbling disappointedly because I was forced to open my eyes, I sat up on the bed. A loud groan left my mouth as soon as I got up. A wave of pain enveloped me from my lap down to my head. I squinted my face and glared at Ramsey with a frown. "See! This is all
LUCILLE While thinking of how to pay Ramsey back for what he did to me, I drifted off to sleep. "Lucille! Open your eyes. We are here," I heard Ramsey's soft and low voice. He was patting my shoulder gently. Slowly, I unlocked my eyes and realized the jet had landed. "Oh! I slept off," I let out, rubbing the sleep off my eyes. He pressed his lips on my forehead, giving me a comforting and reassuring kiss, then carried me in his arms out of the jet. Afterward, he unhurriedly helped me stand on my feet. "Where are we?" I inquired, scrutinizing the field with my eyes, astounded by the beautiful surroundings I was seeing. For a fact, I knew we were out of our country. "Somewhere you would love to be," He said, locking my hand with his and we sauntered out of the airport. I could hear the whisperings and gasps from the people as we passed them by. Some were complimenting how we look perfect beside each other while others cursed me for staying beside a perfect man like Ramse
LUCILLE With a forced smile, I turned, glimpsing at her emotionlessly. "It's nice meeting you after a while, Ms. Rosemary. How are you holding up? I don't think you can come somewhere like this. Perhaps, you came to seduce another woman's husband," I exclaimed in an audible voice, intentionally making people hear what we were talking about. A glint of hatred and defeat flashed across her eyes but was swiftly concealed with an ambiguous emotion. She also forced out a smile and mumbled, "No, Lucille. I should be asking what a low class person like you is doing in a Dynamic Hotel. Have you gotten a rich, pot-bellied man who's funding your fake luxurious lifestyle?" I scoffed, revealing my set of teeth. Then, I shook my head. "Never, my dear. I am different from a whore and betrayal who snatched her best friend's fiance. Oh! Talking of that, how is your lover boy holding up? I heard his family is in turbulence right now," I said, staring deep into her eyes unblinkingly. Her
LUCILLE I hate the fact that he didn't leave me alone to die. Why did he save me?Honestly, I am tired. I am tired of getting into trouble while leaving one. The chaos in my life kept increasing every day since I got married to Ramsey. "What!" He muttered, puzzled by my statement. "Yes. I want a divorce. I am tired of everything," I let out, tears gliding out of my eyes. "Calm down, Lucille. You are not in your best condition right now," Ramsey discreetly reminded, checking my countenance so that he would be sure he hadn't made a wrong statement. "I don't care if I am in my best condition or not, Ramsey. I want a divorce and that's it. Leave me alone. I want my life back. I want my stress-free life back. Give it back to me," I yelled, glaring deep into his eyes. He pulled me into a warm embrace before I could make another utterance. Then, he softly said, "I cannot leave you, Lucille. You have to stay with me and let us fight this battle together. I cannot do without y
RAMSEY My heart dropped when I saw Lucille inside the filled bathtub, lying lifeless. "Lucille!" I yelled, rushing to her side, without noticing the slippery floor. As I was about to get to her, I slipped and hit my buttock on the floor. Without wasting a lot of time groaning, I sprang up and dashed to her. "Lucille!! Lucille!!!" I called, hitting her cheeks continually to revive her. I touched her pulse. It was still active. That made me a bit relaxed. I carried her out of the bathtub into the bedroom, wore her a dress, and hurriedly took her to the hospital. I was certain the doctors must be tired of seeing us regularly at the hospital. I wouldn't lie. Ever since we got married, I had caused Lucille nothing but pain and discomfort. I had a lot of trouble lurking around and she was the one who always ended up in it. Getting to the hospital took all the night before her condition became stable.*. *. * Tyler Newton's House The trio sat in the living room, glancing at
LUCILLE I opened my eyes weakly but was forced to close them back because of the intense pain in my head. However, seeing that I was in an unfamiliar and dimmed-lit room, I was forced to unlock them. "Wow!!! It took you ten minutes to be finally awake," A masculine voice rang in the room, probing me to glance in the direction of the voice and I saw a man standing by the door. It looked like he just finished locking it. My eyes swayed all over his body and I realized that he was putting on nothing but shorts that hugged his body tightly and was showing the curviness of his gigantic manhood. My heart skipped at the sight. Then, it dawned on me that I had been tricked. The little crying boy was a trap laid for me and I'd foolishly stepped into their trap. "What do you want from me?" I questioned in a shaky voice, dragging myself backward as he moved toward me. An ambiguous smile spread across his face as he walked closer. "What do you think? Your body or your money?" The smile s
