My Boss, My Husband Chapter 339
The chaotic shuffle of medical staff filled my father's room, mingling with the sound of Richard's quiet sobs as he clung to the side of the bed. Julian stood beside him, murmuring words of comfort, one hand resting on his shoulder. But none of that could drown out the piercing cries of Victoria."What are you doing?! Keep him alive!" she shrieked, her voice frantic and grating.The team wasn't idle—they were doing everything they could, yet nothing was working. The doctor hovered over my father's frail body, administering chest compressions with the precision of a machine. The defibrillator was deployed again, but even with its jolts, the results were the same."If he dies, every single one of you is fired!" Victoria yelled, her voice breaking as sweat dripped down her face.I stood there, an empty shell, too worn out to engage in the chaos unfolding around me. My gaze drifted to my father's skeletal figure, a man who had once been a giant in the room, now reduced to this pitiful

I glanced briefly toward my brothers. One was drowning in tears, and the other stared blankly into the distance, looking more lost than I'd ever seen him. They were like children, paralyzed, waiting for a call from their father that would never come."Richard and Julian are here too," I informed him softly.Lawrence's lips moved faintly, his voice a strained whisper I could barely catch. I leaned in closer, bracing myself to hear his words."They're not mine... those boys... they're not mine," he murmured, his breath hitching. "You... you're my only son."I froze. My chest tightened, my mind racing to make sense of what I'd just heard. His fragile voice had the weight of a hammer, breaking through years of buried suspicions.But before I could react, his body convulsed in a violent fit of coughing, the sound rattling through the room. His face twisted as though he were choking, and suddenly, Richard and Julian sprang into action, rushing to his bedside with panicked cries. Victori

"Is that the future where you win the election?" I asked."With your support—and your funding—I'll make it happen.""And what if that's not enough?" I countered."Oh, trust me, it will be more than enough. With you on my side, it'll suffice. As long as you honor our agreement..."I caught a chance to twist his words into something amusing."Do you mean the agreement you had with a dead man? Because my father is lying in that casket, waiting to be buried... and his widow is over there, crying over her loss." I couldn't help the slight smile that curled on my lips as I said it.He looked at me, and his smile mirrored mine in a way that sent shivers down my spine."Agreements with women are insignificant. As insignificant as they are, let's not bring up your mother in our negotiations from now on. Do I have your word?""Mark!" Victoria approached us, playing the role of the grieving widow. "He left me! Lawrence has abandoned me!""He's in a place without suffering now, Victoria..

Lawrence Lewis's P.O.V.I was so lost holding Sara in my arms, my face buried against her chest, that I didn't even realize—until far too late—that I had literally pressed my nose between her breasts. The realization hit me like a truck, and I pulled back abruptly, mortified at how inappropriate I had been. Clearing my throat, I leaned back against the wall, trying to compose myself."How did you know I was here?" I asked.Sara settled down beside me, sitting on the floor in the same position as me, her knees bent and arms resting on them."You used to hide here when you were a kid," she said casually. "When I asked around and no one knew where you were, I decided to sneak into places I wasn't supposed to."It was embarrassing how easy I was to read for her. At the same time, it was comforting. Sara remembered things about me—details that no one else seemed to care about. With her, I felt important to someone who didn't need me for money, power, or obligation."You guessed right,

Sara had been right. If that will placed me above even Victoria, I wouldn't have to bow to anyone anymore—not even her. It would mark a clear before and after in the power Victoria wielded over my life.If that happened, her threats against Sara would lose all their weight."A-and... how's Emma? Is her stomach any better?" Sara asked suddenly, feigning casual indifference. She let go of me as she spoke, clearly changing the subject.I frowned, confused. How did Sara even know about Emma's health? How much did she know about her bulimia? And why bring it up now?"How do you know about that?" I asked, my voice sharp with suspicion.Sara looked at me with a mix of fear and pain in her expression."So... it's true?" she whispered softly."True? What are you talking about? That she—""Did you get her pregnant?" Sara interrupted, her voice trembling.I blinked slowly, replaying her words in my head. The confusion hit me like a wall. Ridiculous confusion. Yet, underneath it all, I fe

“I have a name, ma’am,” Sara muttered, defiant as ever toward my mother.“I wasn’t playing hide-and-seek. I needed some time alone,” I said, my exhaustion evident.“Alone? That’s obvious,” Victoria replied sharply, her gaze slicing toward Sara. “You should be with your fiancée right now. And you, Sara, you are not welcome in this house nor at my late husband’s burial. Would you kindly leave?”Sara pressed her lips together, clearly swallowing the urge to hurl insults at Victoria. Instead, she turned to leave without a fight, which wasn’t fair. She hadn’t come into this den of wolves for herself—it had been for me. Before she could step away, I caught her by the arm.“Sara is welcome anywhere I am,” I said firmly. “If she wishes to accompany me to my father’s burial, then that’s exactly what will happen.”My words set Victoria ablaze with fury.“She will not! You’ll have to go through your mother before—”“Could you just shut up for once, Victoria?” I snapped, my voice cutting th

I had heard about Lawrence's father's death last night, and ever since, I'd barely been able to sleep. My mind kept circling back to how Lawrence must be feeling after such a loss. The relationship between Lawrence and his father had been far from simple or good, but I knew Lawrence had spent his entire life trying to please his father and earn his attention.There were so many times during the night when I almost texted or called him, but every time, I stopped myself. I didn't know how he'd react. I didn't even know what to say. Showing up at the Lewis mansion in the middle of the night wasn't exactly a safe or reasonable idea either.So, I waited for the appropriate moment—attending the funeral. That, at least, would be socially acceptable and would respect the boundaries Lawrence had imposed between us. I dressed carefully in mourning attire, the kind that wouldn't raise eyebrows but was also practical enough for running, kicking, or fighting, if necessary. You never knew what to

Jason and I deserved awards for how well we faked normalcy among the circling vultures. During one of my rounds, I spotted a smaller vulture—Julian. I immediately turned my back to avoid being caught."Sara? Is that you?" he called out.I cursed silently and was forced to face him. My polite mask was firmly in place, but it slipped quickly when I saw him up close. His eyes were red, his expression strained. My memories of Julian, one of the twins, were nothing but annoying—those two had tormented my patience endlessly. But today was different. Their tyrannical father was gone."My... condolences, Julian," I managed to say.He tried to give me one of his trademark indifferent smiles, but it didn't land."Why don't you save your condolences for Lawrence? He's the one you're really looking for," he said.Without thinking, my hand shot up to his cheek, pinching it hard. There was barely any baby fat left on his face, but the gesture was muscle memory."You insolent brat..." I growle

If I had the superpower to walk up walls, trust me, I'd be doing it right now. How could I not? Lawrence, Emma, and Jason were all at that chaotic political debate. Sure, I agreed with the plan, but that was with the condition I'd be there, not isolated in my parents' house, waiting anxiously for updates and glued to the television.The program was showing introductions for each gubernatorial candidate while they took a commercial break. During the downtime, they cut to shots of the audience settling in their seats. My eyes stayed locked on the screen, my nails reduced to stubs, while I heard my mother coming down the stairs."Look at all these treasures I found, darling!" she exclaimed.I didn't take my eyes off the television, still focused on the delayed start."What did you find?" I asked absentmindedly."If you'd just turn around, you'd see what your mother is trying to show you."Sighing, I tore my attention from the screen and turned around. What greeted me left me both am

The officer's words hung in the air, echoing like a death sentence."Yes, yes, we'll confirm everything at the station," he repeated, motioning for Jason to be taken away.I stepped in their path, refusing to move. They asked me to step aside several times, but I stood firm. Just when I thought they might physically remove me, a voice froze everyone in place. Mark's voice."What's going on here?" he asked, his tone feigning martyrdom, like a man miraculously reborn.One of the officers summarized the situation—how they had been forced to shoot the sniper in the back and were accusing Jason of being his accomplice. I glanced at Jason helplessly, my heart breaking as he avoided my eyes. He wouldn't even look at me."Do you know him?" the officer pressed. "Do you have any idea why he would target you?""Unfortunately, yes, I know him. He has threatened my life multiple times and my daughter's too, driven by some sick obsession with her," Mark declared.Jason finally snapped, liftin

Emma White's P.O.V.The chaos in the auditorium was absolute—shouts, people running in all directions, and sheer panic painted a scene of hell. My eyes stayed locked on Mark, who lay on the ground with blood smeared across his face. I couldn't move, paralyzed by shock and confusion."Get down! Don't just stand there," Lawrence urged, pulling me to a crouch.Obediently, I dropped low, realizing we weren't the only ones doing so. Others had also taken cover, waiting for the madness to subside. Though the gunshots had ceased, the frenzy hadn't. I couldn't get a clear view of how badly Mark was hurt—his security team had dragged him behind the podium."What just happened?" I asked Lawrence breathlessly."Whatever it was, it wasn't fatal," he replied, his eyes scanning the stage.From my crouched position, I saw Mark rising to his feet, ignoring his guards' insistence to stay down. My mother suddenly bolted from her seat, rushing to the stage the moment she spotted him. Her face was e

"What's more humiliating than being left alone during the debate? That was the plan—to show everyone that neither his wife nor daughter supports him after his scandals, emphasizing the danger he represents," Lawrence argued."I have to go. I'm sorry, but it's something I need to do. What's your take?" I pressed, glancing at the others.In the end, we agreed Lawrence would accompany me with his security team, Jason would be nearby to help extract my mother if necessary, and Sara offered to provoke Mark by visibly supporting Isabelle Silver.Oddly enough, Lawrence scolded Sara, telling her to stop meddling and stay with her parents that afternoon. Even more strangely, Sara didn't argue. Instead, she pouted and quietly placed her hand over her stomach in a... peculiar way.Was it just me, or did she have a bit of a belly?-All the progress I'd made in the days away from Mark seemed to crumble the moment we arrived at the auditorium for the candidates' debate. Seeing his face on the

"With you... I'd want everything."I smiled like a love-struck fool, nibbling on my fruit as my heart melted. If there were ever going to be kids in our future, I had to be at my healthiest. Jason started talking about his morning routine, and I listened with the phone tucked against my shoulder as I continued preparing breakfast. But as I poured the batter onto the pan, it struck me how odd it was that my mom hadn't come out of her room yet."That's strange. My mom's still asleep," I said, glancing toward her door."Did you check to see if she might've stepped out?" Jason suggested gently."Why would she leave? We agreed neither of us would go anywhere... I'll check."I put the phone down for a moment and knocked on her door, calling out softly. There was no response. When I opened it, the room was empty—her bed neatly made, her shoes gone. My heart raced as my phone buzzed again, this time showing my mom's number. Picking it up, I quickly explained the situation to Jason and tol

Emma White's P.O.V.I woke up wrapped in an unexpected sense of peace. Despite the unfamiliar bed and the small, borrowed space, it was a kind of calm I'd never known before. Peace, as it turned out, wasn't something you could buy, no matter how much money you had.Life in Lawrence's apartment had been surprisingly pleasant. Each day felt a little brighter, a little safer. As I got up and made my way to the bathroom, I splashed my face with cool water, noticing with delight how much my skin had improved.By the time I reached the kitchen, I was in an unusually cheerful mood. Pancakes seemed like the perfect breakfast, so I opened the fridge to grab some pre-cut fruit—melons and papayas, today's choice. The sight of the neatly packed container brought a smile to my face. I plucked a piece of melon and popped it into my mouth. It was perfect.Setting the fruit on the counter, I gathered the rest of the ingredients: oatmeal, eggs, and milk. The clock on the microwave caught my attenti

"Have you forgotten that you're still engaged to Emma White? Because I certainly haven't," Lionel accused, his tone sharper than a blade."The repeated delays in the wedding should've given you a clue—it's not happening," Lawrence stated firmly."Then why is the engagement still active? Wouldn't it have been simpler to handle this in order? Or do you enjoy fueling the rumors about my daughter? You've turned her into your mistress," Lionel spat, his glare piercing.Lawrence visibly flinched at the accusation, guilt washing over him. He seemed lost for words, so I stepped in."Dad... are you really going to echo the same gossip as those busybodies? I already told you—there was never a real relationship between Emma and Lawrence. That engagement was arranged by their parents," I explained, trying to diffuse the tension."There was never anything between us," Lawrence added, his tone desperate for clarity. "Not emotionally, not physically. It was entirely a business arrangement."At

In my head, an apocalyptic soundtrack was playing; on my parents' faces, an apocalyptic expression was forming. My apartment had turned into the ninth circle of hell. From this moment on, everything spiraled out of control. Lawrence turned to face Lionel and Clara while I instinctively clung to his back, using him as a human shield."Sara Brown!" my dad bellowed."She's not here!" I shouted, clutching Lawrence so tightly my arms ached."What are you doing with that boy?!" my father roared.Still pressed against Lawrence, I could see him glance around the room, taking in the chaos of scattered clothing—including undergarments. And then, Lawrence did something unforgivable."Isn't it obvious, sir?" he said, calm as ever.Lawrence clearly wanted to watch the world burn, and my dad wasn't about to disappoint. He lunged toward us, but my mom intercepted him, wrapping her arms around his middle to stop a full-blown disaster. Meanwhile, I stayed glued to Lawrence's back, peeking out fro

"Because I just found out from Richard!" I exclaimed, watching Lawrence's brows lift in genuine surprise. "He said Emma is their half-sister, which officially makes Victoria the ultimate hypocrite. I mean, how was she planning to marry you off to the half-sister of your half-brothers? And I was supposed to be the 'incestuous' one because of her wild theory that you and I might be siblings?""Why would Richard tell you that?" Lawrence asked, his curiosity piqued.I looked at him with a mix of tenderness and pity. I knew that Lawrence had said back in that room that he didn't see Richard and Julian as brothers, but I also knew him better than anyone.Gently, I stroked his face. "Because deep down, those two brats care about you, and they still see you as their brother."He shook his head, unconvinced. "You heard them. All they care about is the money. I even offered to give them some before the will was read but they ignored me and kept coming at me. I'm done, Sara. Let them file wha
