My Boss, My Husband Chapter 79
After receiving a death threat, I couldn't go back to normal life. In my paranoid state, I hadn’t slept at all last night. I even pushed a table in front of my door and kept all the lights off throughout the night.Another sign of my paranoia was that I took a taxi to the office today, and now I was sitting in one of the video conference booths. I was chatting with an old client of Fairmount Corporation about the property taxes on one of the retirement homes he’d bought from us."Sorry to take up your time, Marianne. But you're the only one with enough patience for me," said Mr. Angus, who was old enough to be my grandfather."Don't worry about it. We’re here to help. I’ll send you Ariana's number; she can guide you better with the tax paperwork. Any other questions?""Not for now, but can I call you if I have more?""Send me a message, and we’ll sort it out—just like we always do at Fairmount Corporation. Take care," I said as I ended the call.And just like that, my customer-se

"Don’t tell me it’s normal for an ex, or whatever she was, to threaten to kill you, corner you in a bathroom with two thugs, and have those same guys rough up your friend. I wasn’t the only one hurt—Jenna got manhandled too. Don’t try to manipulate me into thinking this was nothing. I’m done with that crap."I was angry—furious—with Lucius’s attitude. And the worst part was, I had been here before. I had just gotten out of a relationship where my ex constantly made me feel like I was overreacting, like I was the problem in every fight. I wasn’t going back to that."Oh, so now you’re showing your claws to the guy who’s been defending you all along," he said sarcastically, clearly annoyed."Now you’re upset?" I scoffed."I’m not upset. I’m fed up with you. What do you want me to do? You think I planned for you and Jenna to get hurt? Angie is part of a past I’m trying to leave behind. You, of all people, should understand wanting to escape the past.""Then why didn’t you answer my ca

"Are you talking about feelings? Because I never guaranteed you those. The only thing I guaranteed you were facts. You and I made a deal that you can’t back out of now," he demanded.I shrugged, just to push his buttons even more."And what if I don’t go through with it? You gonna threaten me like Mrs. Kramer did?" I took a step closer."I should spank you good and proper so you understand what being really at risk means," he stepped closer."As if I haven’t already been… because of you," I took another step, practically in his face."As if you haven’t already been because of your family," he took one more step, and now we were practically glued together.Our breathing mixed, and I could feel the heat radiating from his body. I should have been angry for what he’d done to me, but honestly, I didn’t know whether to be furious or completely turned on, because both feelings were there. Memories flooded my mind—his fingers between my legs yesterday, his seed on my stomach."You had plenty

I controlled my breathing and kept my neck still. I couldn’t be too obvious about how I was feeling inside. I couldn’t let anyone see the bubbling nerves dominating me at that moment. Why was I nervous? Because I was watching the giant gates of the infamous Brown mansion open as I sat in the back seat next to Lucius.The weekend had come faster than I expected, and the ease of having money sped things up even more. Flying across an ocean felt like a quick trip to the beach. I had kept up my "angry and distant" attitude all week, even during the plane ride. I must have been the most boring travel companion Lucius had ever had, but I didn’t regret it.The only thing I was starting to regret was coming there. The farther we drove, the deeper we went into the forest, and the clearer it became that this house looked like something out of a history book.This wasn’t just any mansion. The towers, the grand staircase, the endless windows, and the swarm of staff working in the gardens were o

"No thanks, I’ll keep my distance. That’ll be enough," I said, feeling uncomfortable.The car stopped, and a staff member opened my door. He was an older man, dressed in uniform, and I could see the surprise on his face when he spotted me in the car."Lucius, I wasn’t aware you’d be bringing company this time..." the man greeted him."You know me, Gregor. I like surprises," Lucius replied. "Want a bigger one?""If that’s your will, it’s my duty to accept it," Gregor answered with a tired tone that I found amusing. "Take the luggage inside, and inform them of the young lady’s presence so they can prepare her room," Gregor instructed a couple of younger workers who quickly got to it. Lucius and I stepped out of the car."There’s no need to prepare another room. She’ll be staying in mine," Lucius added.Everyone froze, including Gregor. It felt like Lucius had just told them we’d be having sex every night, out in the open. I cleared my throat and casually brought my hand to my m

I was used to not being the beloved girlfriend families hoped for. Andrew’s family had tolerated me for the sake of appearances and business, as I had realized after we broke up. And now, it seemed like the Browns would be yet another lesson that destiny had in store for me. That same destiny that clearly didn’t like me, considering all that kept happening."Could you change those shocked faces to more welcoming ones, Lucia and Clara?" Lucius asked playfully."Don’t take it the wrong way, our reactions are just from the surprise… at how soon you’re getting married because… well… um…" responded the one I now realized was Lucia, the soft-voiced woman."It’s reckless from any angle, Lucius," the other woman, Clara, chimed in.That’s when I remembered where I’d heard her voice before—she was the one who mocked me when I mentioned my relationship with the man standing next to me: Clara, Lionel’s wife. The one Lucius had some sort of issue with."That’s what you say, but you don’t know

"It would’ve been easier to go with that version. What difference does it make if it’s one or the other?" I asked, confused."Less drama with my uncles. More compatible and believable with my preferences," Lucius replied."Can you explain the drama part? How is a rushed marriage not dramatic enough as it is?" I questioned."Lucia and Clara didn’t come from money, and it caused a stupid war when they married into the family. We don’t need to overdo the whole 'love' story. The fact that our marriage is convenient makes it more credible. Settling down with someone on my level is how it’s supposed to be," he explained.His version made me think about all the things I wasn’t, and the things he wanted me to be. I was tempted to ask if he’d find someone else when this was over. Would another woman make him settle down, or would he decide that bachelorhood was better? But before I could ask, his phone rang. He answered with a few short responses, then hung up."I have to head out for a fe

"It just happened. That’s how love is..." I said, scratching my chin."How beautiful love is!" she exclaimed, giving the plunger one final thrust before flushing the toilet without issue. "All fixed. I’m sorry for the inconvenience, Miss Marianne. Excuse me."She switched back to the submissive demeanor I saw when she first entered the room. After she left, I was still reeling from her bizarre behavior. I walked into the bathroom and opened the towel compartment. I had to react quickly to catch the towels as they started falling out.The compartment was stuffed with way more towels than it should have been. Half of them were the gray ones Martha had just brought, but the rest were cream-colored."Did she really need to bring more towels, or am I just being paranoid?" I muttered to myself.There was another knock at the door."Seriously? Another weird one? Haven’t I dealt with enough crazies for the month?" I groaned as I went to open the door myself this time.Instead of Martha

Sara Brown's P.O.V."Didn't we agree you wouldn't come, Mom?" Richard asked, his voice low and disappointed."Richard, you too?" Victoria exclaimed, her voice trembling with a mix of hurt and indignation."What else did you expect, Victoria?" Julian interjected, crossing his arms. "We practically had to beg Sara for permission just to see Matthew. Meanwhile, you've done nothing to make amends yet here you are, demanding things. That's not how this works.""Do you want me to apologize to Sara?" Victoria's voice cracked as she looked at me, her emotions on full display.I would never trust Victoria, and I certainly would never leave my son alone with her unsupervised. But in this moment, her vulnerability chipped away at some of my hardened resolve. Life had been so good lately, so full of joy and love, that my heart no longer had room for resentment."You don't need to apologize to me," I said calmly. "The people you owe an apology to are your sons."Victoria's eyes widened, her

Sara Brown's P.O.V.Six months later.Becoming a mother was one of those adventures I never knew I needed, but I'd never been more grateful for taking the leap—especially with Lawrence by my side. Now, here we were, standing in front of a flower-draped altar nestled in the woods of the Brown family estate.Getting married in this spot felt symbolic. It had been our sanctuary as kids, the place where we'd escaped from the grown-ups and shared secrets. It was fitting that my best friend, the boy who'd been by my side through thick and thin, was now becoming my husband.Behind us was a small gathering of family and close friends. The Browns—ever-expanding with a small army of kids—were all present, as were a handful of Lawrence's relatives, including his brothers, Richard and Julian. We'd kept the guest list to just sixty people, making this a more intimate celebration than anyone would've expected from a Brown-Lewis wedding.Still, it was perfect. Everyone we loved was here. And the

I looked at our baby's tiny face, and the urge to cry overwhelmed me again. He was absolutely perfect."Are you going to keep crying?" Sara teased with a mischievous grin. "If you don't stop, I won't give you another one."I wiped my tears immediately, not wanting to take any chances. She burst out laughing, her radiant energy filling the room."So," quickly shifting topics, she leaned forward slightly, "what are we naming him? We agreed we'd know when we saw him. I've got a name from the shortlist in mind. Do you?""I do," I replied, smiling."Okay, let's say it together," she suggested, and I nodded. "On three. One, two, three—""Matthew!" we both exclaimed in unison.We stared at each other before breaking into matching grins. Sara started clapping in excitement over our perfect sync. I laughed at her enthusiasm, but something on the hospital TV caught my attention—a news report about yesterday's gubernatorial election. Images of Isabelle, the winner, flashed across the scree

Lawrence Lewis's P.O.V.Three months later...Just when I thought I couldn't be any happier with Sara loving me, life proved me wrong. Every day felt like a new peak of joy. A few months ago, I believed I had reached the ultimate high when she accepted my proposal during our trip to Finland. I'd asked her under the northern lights in a private and intimate moment, just the two of us—just like our entire relationship had been.The fallout from canceling my engagement to Emma had been relatively manageable for me. There were no financial or legal repercussions, and I narrowly escaped the disgrace of almost becoming the son-in-law of a criminal like Mark. But to say I avoided all drama would be a lie. The rumors and gossip surrounding how Sara and I had gotten together were relentless.I was usually a calm man, but any criticism aimed at Sara, accusing her of "breaking up" my previous engagement, turned me into a beast. Sara would always tell me to ignore the noise, that only we knew

I stood there frozen, feeling every gaze lock onto me. It was as if time had stopped. No one spoke, no one moved—they just stared. Sweat started trickling down places I didn’t even know could sweat.“Hi… how’s everyone doing?” I asked, my voice hesitant.I braced myself for the shouting, the dramatic exclamations, the scolding even. Instead, the extroverted ones in the room simply smiled at me while the quieter ones went back to what they were doing, almost as if nothing had happened. The initial wave of attention just… evaporated.“As I was saying,” Uncle Lucius continued, picking up right where he’d left off, “if you don’t finish your vegetables, we’ll give them to the lion in the forest.”My jaw dropped. This table—the entire Brown family—was completely unfazed. Even Lawrence had that knowing smile on his face, almost as if he’d expected this exact reaction. Before I could recover, Aunt Lucia and Aunt Marianne came over and pulled me into tight hugs.“You look gorgeous, Sara. A

Richard's voice broke the silence as he gathered his courage. "We'd like to add Duke and Monarch for me, and the boat for Julian. With that, we'll be ready to sign the agreement."I rubbed my ears, almost certain I had misheard."The horses and the boat? That's all you want?" Lawrence asked, his tone tinged with disbelief."Yes," Julian confirmed, his voice hesitant. "We believe... they're of great sentimental value to us. And they were gifts. They just... weren't officially transferred to us."Lawrence's eyes darted between them as if trying to confirm whether these were the same brothers he'd been fighting with."That's it?" he repeated, his suspicion evident."That's it," Richard said, though his discomfort was plain to see."What are you two plotting?" Lawrence asked, narrowing his eyes.The twins exchanged confused glances."Nothing?" Julian said, his tone growing defensive. "What are you plotting? You told us you wouldn't give us anything but then sent this offer out of
My Boss, My Husband Chapter 405
I couldn't help but notice the sadness etched onto Lawrence's face. He'd always said he wouldn't give his brothers anything. Yet here he was, not only offering them a portion of the inheritance but also bracing himself for their inevitable demands and negotiating with them."Wouldn't it have been easier to just offer them exactly what you were willing to give from the start?" I asked as I leaned against his shoulder, wrapping my arms around him. His sadness was palpable, and it was breaking my heart. Just moments ago, he'd been so happy. "Just say 'Take it or leave it' and then forget about them."Lawrence sighed, his gaze distant. "I know them. And I know myself. I can't lay the blame for all my hardships on them like I do with Victoria. Despite what I said during the will reading, I know they deserve more than what my father left them.""You have a heart of gold, Ren," I murmured, kissing his cheek. "Don't let those brats melt it down, okay?"He chuckled softly, though his sadnes

I swayed my hips rhythmically against his body, the two of us joined in that intimate connection we'd rediscovered nearly every night since the chaos with a certain corrupt official had come to an end.As Lawrence neared his release, he called my name, his voice rough with passion. I teased him by sucking on the thumb he'd slipped into my mouth, which was all it took for him to shut his eyes tightly as the force of his climax overtook him. I followed him into that blissful release just a moment later.Utterly satisfied, I collapsed beside him on the bed, both of us completely naked, basking in the warmth of each other's bodies. My breathing was still ragged as Lawrence shifted closer, his hands roaming gently over my hair, my chest, and finally, my stomach. The way his hand lingered there told me exactly what he was about to ask—again."Are you sure you're comfortable with this?" he asked."No. It was terrible. I never want to have another orgasm for the rest of my life," I replied

"What's going on here?" I asked Sara suspiciously."Just go with the flow," she replied, opening my car door with a grin.I hesitated but decided to follow her advice—or at least try. After exchanging cheek kisses, I walked over to where Jason was waiting. I tucked the envelope with my test results into my pocket. As I reached him, he took my hand, and we started walking up a hill in the park."When did you ask Sara to bring me here?" I asked, curious."That's a secret," he said with a chuckle. "And since you two are such close friends now—""Close friends?" I interrupted, raising a brow. "You think we're really friends?""That's how it seems. You smile a lot when you're with her," he replied."Do I?" I considered it for a moment, warmth spreading through my chest. "Maybe we are."Jason smiled but kept silent. As we climbed one of the hills, I was taken aback by the breathtaking view of the city spread before us. But even more surprising was the blanket laid out on the ground,
