My Mysterious Husband 9: The Kiss That Burned
Aria received an invitation to a prestigious event hosted by their hospital, a celebration to honor its pioneering figures and major investors. As one of the most respected surgeons in the institution, her presence was expected.She arrived at the grand hotel in a stunning black gown, the fabric shimmering under the soft lights, a high slit revealing long, graceful legs that contrasted beautifully with her fair, radiant skin. Her face glowed with understated elegance, and heads turned as she stepped onto the red carpet, poised and breathtaking.Her gaze swept across the ballroom, taking in the glittering crowd—until it stopped, suddenly, at a familiar figure. Her husband.Lucien stood by the massive floral centerpiece, fingers absently circling the rim of his glass. The woman on his arm—Elena, a rising star among the hospital’s private investors—chattered animatedly. He smiled when it seemed appropriate, nodded when she glanced up at him. But his mind was elsewhere.“When was he invit
Last Updated : 2025-04-24My Mysterious Husband 10: A Night of Desire
Aria kisses her husband. It was deep, desperate, and laced with every unspoken feeling she’d buried for months. Her lips trembled against his, and for a moment, neither of them moved—caught between caution and desire. Then something gave way, and Lucien responded with equal intensity, as if the space between them had finally, finally broken.The night had settled like a velvet hush around them, the only light flickering from the fireplace casting a warm amber glow across the room. Aria stood near the window, wrapped in the stillness, her silhouette outlined by the moonlight. She didn’t turn when she felt Lucien behind her—she didn’t need to. She could feel the heat of him, the steady calm that always came with his presence.His arms slid around her waist, drawing her gently against him, and she leaned back with a soft sigh, her head resting on his shoulder. His lips brushed her temple, feather-light at first, then lingering, as though he was memorizing her.“You feel like home,” he wh
Last Updated : 2025-04-24My Mysterious Husband 11: In his arms
Aria sat quietly, her gaze fixed on her husband sitting across the table. She was studying him—his features, his presence. His eyes were a warm shade of hazelnut, small but full of life. Thick eyebrows framed his face, his nose broad and defined, and his lips... soft, pink, and temptingly kissable. She was so lost in her thoughts, she didn’t realize she was gently biting down on her fork.“You’ve been staring at me like that for over an hour,” he said with a smirk, his voice laced with playful teasing. “You done? Or were you hoping for another round?” He winked, biting his lower lip in that maddeningly sexy way he knew drove her wild.“Not even close,” she said, tearing her eyes away from him and focusing on the hot steak in front of her. She picked up the knife, ready to cut into it, but before she could, he leaned in with a piece of steak on his fork, holding it close to her mouth.She met his gaze for a moment, then leaned forward and took the bite, lips brushing the fork he held.

All eyes turned to Aria as she walked down the corridor, humming softly to herself. A wide, genuine smile lit up her face, and even her eyes sparkled with a quiet kind of joy. It was as if she were floating under moonlight—graceful, calm, and radiant. She wasn't in a rush, and it was impossible not to notice how much she was glowing.“Look at Dr. Aria,” one of the nurses whispered, awestruck. “She’s in such a good mood—she’s even singing!”“She has such a beautiful voice,” another nurse added, clearly enchanted.In the nearby pantry, Harold was fixing his coffee, carefully focused on not spilling a single drop. As he passed by the cluster of whispering nurses, he raised an eyebrow.“What’s all the fuss about?” he asked, casually curious. “Is there some big news I missed?”“Dr. Aria’s in the building,” one of the nurses announced, like she was reporting a celebrity sighting.“There’s nothing to see here, sweetheart. Back to your regularly scheduled patient poking—and don’t forget to ch

Down the hallway of the Vale estate, Lucien parents sat in the grand study with Sophie Barbers — elegant, cunning, and hopelessly in love with the man who barely noticed her. She smiled sweetly as Mrs. Vale poured her tea.“She’s stunning,” Sophie admitted, her tone light but sharp. “But beauty fades. And Aria… well, she’s not us.” She hates Aria very much to the point she wants to harm her for snatching the man she loves.“She served her purpose,” Mr. Vale replied coolly, flipping through a file of news clippings featuring Aria’s wedding photos. “The public loves her. Investors are pouring in. But soon… it will be time.”“Time for Lucien to come to his senses,” Sophie added, smiling tightly. “And return to the woman truly meant for him.” Sophie’s fingers tightened around her teacup and can't wait for the time to happen.Mrs. Alicia Vale was genuinely taken aback by what she had just heard. All she ever cared about was her son's happiness, and she truly believed that he loved his wife

Lucien sat in his car, parked at the exit of the hospital, his eyes fixed on the entrance. It was already nine in the evening, yet she still hadn’t come out. He waited, growing more restless with every passing minute.He picked up his phone and dialed her number, the ringing tone echoing in the quiet car. No answer. He tried again, and again, but still no response. Frustration crept in, so he decided to send a message instead.“I know you’re busy, but I just wanted to let you know I’m waiting for you,” he typed with a soft smile, trying to keep his patience intact as he hit send.Ten minutes later, his phone beeped. A message from her. He opened it eagerly, but his face tightened as he read the words: “Don’t wait for me, I’m not going anywhere.”He stared at the message, reading it over and over, confusion knitting his brow. What is going on? His mind raced. We were fine this morning...He shook his head, trying to make sense of it. He didn’t want to let it go. His fingers hovered ove

Absolutely! Here's a more romantic and tender version of the scene, while still keeping the light humor and warmth between the characters:"Where have you two been? It's already morning," Alicia asked gently as she stepped inside their home, her tone laced with curiosity.Aria's eyes widened in surprise at the unexpected sight of her in-laws. She leaned closer to her husband, nudging him softly, her voice low and uncertain. "Why are your parents here?"Lucien gave her a reassuring smile, whispering, "They just wanted to visit us, darling.""Are you two going to keep whispering like we're not here?" Alicia teased, raising a brow. "Aren’t you going to welcome us properly?""Now, now, don’t be so stern," Luke said, placing a calming hand on his wife’s arm. "You’re making our daughter-in-law nervous."Lucien chuckled, pulling Aria gently into his embrace. "Mom, how could we welcome you when you arrived before we did?" he said playfully, wrapping his arm around Aria’s waist. He looked at h

Veronica Thorne, Aria’s mom, was lounging on the couch, flipping through a set of new jewelry designs. She was checking out the quality of the pieces they were planning to showcase to the public.“I really love this gold ring with the diamond in the middle,” she said, her eyes locked on the stunning piece. It had a delicate, one-of-a-kind design with a sparkling diamond at its center.“Don’t worry, madame—we’ve got even more eye-catching designs coming,” Lydia, the designer, assured her before quickly heading out of the office.The soft glow of the tablet screen illuminated Veronice’s face as she sat alone in her grand but silent office, the faint hum of the city beyond the windows doing little to fill the void in the room. Her finger slowly swiped across the glass surface, each motion revealing another captured memory. She paused, her breath catching, as a photo filled the screen — her daughter, radiant in her wedding dress, smiling that gentle, uncertain smile on the day she was wed

My Mysterious Husband 31: Running from Fear
The sky had long since darkened, casting a shadowy veil over the city streets. Most establishments had already begun shutting their doors for the night, their lights dimming one by one, leaving the sidewalks colder and more deserted with each passing minute. A few stragglers rushed home, their footsteps hurried, eager to escape the growing stillness of the evening. Street lamps flickered to life along the roadside, their artificial glow casting pools of yellow light that offered little comfort. The world outside felt unfamiliar and unsettling, cloaked in uneasy silence broken only by distant traffic and hurried steps.Aria stepped out of the hospital doors with visible caution. Her hand instinctively rested on her belly, protective and tender, as though shielding the life growing within her from the darkness around. Each step she took became faster than the last, her pace no longer leisurely but tense and urgent. A chill settled in her bones—not just from the evening air but from a cr
My Mysterious Husband 30: Where the heart still waits
The morning air was crisp, but it did little to cool the tight knot in Aria’s chest. Her fingers clutched Lucien’s arm as they walked down the sidewalk, the hospital’s entrance looming ahead. She kept glancing behind them, her eyes scanning every passing face, every shifting shadow.“We need to be careful with your stalker, Sophie,” she said, her voice low and tense. “If we’re not… you might end up more hurt than she was last time.”Lucien stopped and turned to face her. Aria’s eyes were wide—haunted, even. He knew that look. She’d worn it since the incident. Since Sophie.Aria wrapped her arms around herself. “I know she’s not here now, but I keep feeling like she’s watching us. Like she’s waiting. I don’t want to see her again, Lucien. I can’t.”He gently cupped her face, forcing her to meet his gaze. “I’ll do everything I can to keep you safe from whatever she’s planning,” he said firmly. “No matter what.”She nodded, though the fear in her eyes didn’t fade. Lucien held her close f
My Mysterious Husband 29: In her Head
Sophie’s mom stood in the doorway, arms folded tight across her chest. She’d been watching her daughter for several minutes now, silently tracking every frantic step Sophie took across the living room carpet. It was like watching a storm build—tense, unpredictable, exhausting to witness.Finally, she couldn’t hold back anymore. “Sweetheart,” she said softly, trying to keep her voice steady, “what’s going on with you? Is something wrong?”Sophie froze mid-step, her hands balled into fists at her sides. “I… I think Lucien’s in pain,” she said, but it came out all jagged, like she’d been holding it in for too long.Her mother blinked. That wasn’t what she was expecting. “In pain? Why would you think that? He looked fine when I last saw him—actually, better than fine.” She patted the couch cushion next to her. “Come here. Let’s sit down and talk this out.”But Sophie just shook her head and backed away, her whole body tight like a stretched rubber band. “No, Mom. He’s not okay.” Her voice
My Mysterious Husband 28: Sweet Conversation
Aria and her husband, Lucien, sat together in a calm, quiet moment on the couch, the soft rustling of the nearby curtains the only sound in the room besides their own breathing. Aria was gently tending to a fresh wound on Lucien's arm, her expression focused and filled with concern. Carefully, she dabbed at the injury with a piece of cotton soaked in antiseptic."Ah—ouch... that really hurts," Lucien winced for the second time, his voice tinged with both pain and frustration.Without pausing her careful work, Aria responded with a calm but slightly amused tone, “Lucien, this cut isn’t as deep as you think it is. It looks worse than it actually is.” She continued to press the cotton softly against the injured area, trying to stanch the blood that still trickled from the wound.Lucien flinched slightly and looked at her with furrowed brows. “Please be careful,” he said, his voice softer now, both out of love and a touch of discomfort.Aria glanced up at him briefly, her eyes narrowing w
My Mysterious Husband 27: Gentle Husband's Care
Lucien had become a softer, more devoted man, pouring his love into every little thing he did for Aria. He tended to her with quiet care—preparing her meals, doing the laundry, and making sure her every need was met. With him by her side, life felt effortless, wrapped in the warmth of his steady presence. Each morning, he rose before the sun, visiting the market to gather the freshest ingredients. He cooked with love, crafting wholesome meals and nourishing drinks to keep both Aria and their growing baby healthy and strong.“Good morning, my love,” he whispered, brushing a tender kiss across her forehead. “Breakfast is ready.”She slowly opened her heavy eyes, blinking up at her husband with a soft, sleepy smile that hinted at the peace she felt in his presence. “Good morning,” she murmured, sitting up in bed and wrapping her arms around him in a warm, lingering embrace. “Thank you for being such a wonderful father to our child.”Lucien’s eyes softened as he returned the hug. “It’s th
My Mysterious Husband 26: Pregnancy Banter
“Congratulations,” Harold announced with a dramatic flair, slicing through the heavy silence that had settled over the room. “You’re pregnant.”The words seemed to freeze time. A sudden, almost sacred stillness swept through the room like a blanket. Aria stared blankly ahead, her eyes wide, unblinking, as if her mind couldn’t quite grasp the meaning behind the statement. Lucien, seated beside her, was already smiling, quietly observing his wife's stunned reaction with gentle amusement and anticipation.Aria slowly blinked and let out a breathy, incredulous laugh. “You’ve got to be joking, Dr. Harold. Since when did you switch specialties? You’re a cardiologist, not a gynecologist,” she said, her voice tinged with disbelief and light sarcasm. “Did you suddenly decide to take up a new career overnight?”Harold sighed dramatically and turned toward Lucien, as if seeking moral support. “Mr. Vale, have you seen your wife’s attitude?” he asked in mock frustration. “You really ought to teach
My Mysterious Husband 25: Morning sickness reflection
Lately, Aria had been waking up feeling unwell, and this morning was no exception. As the first rays of sunlight filtered through her curtains, she stirred under the covers, a wave of dizziness washing over her the moment she tried to sit up. A nauseous feeling clung to her like a heavy fog, and a dull ache cramped her lower abdomen, making it difficult to move. With a soft groan, she slowly opened her eyes, squinting against the light, and attempted to swing her legs over the edge of the bed. But before she could fully stand, a violent lurch in her stomach made her freeze. It felt as if her insides were twisting and turning uncontrollably, sending her sprinting to the bathroom.Once there, she barely had time to kneel before the toilet before her body convulsed and she vomited. The sensation left her shaky and pale, clutching the cool porcelain for support. After a few moments, she rinsed her mouth and gargled with cold water from the sink, trying to steady her breathing.“I don’t re
My Mysterious Husband 24: Lucien's Disappearance
It had been two days since Lucien hadn’t come home. Aria was growing increasingly worried—there was still no word from him, and she had no clue where he might have gone.“Dr. Aria, is everything alright? If you need to take a break, just let us know. You know we can’t afford to have anyone else sick around here besides the patients,” the head nurse, Liezel, joked lightly.“I’m fine, Liz,” Aria replied casually.“Coffee, maybe? It might help clear your head,” Liezel offered, concerned.“No, thanks,” Aria declined, then headed into her office. She tried to keep herself occupied with paperwork, reviewing patients’ lab results, but her mind kept drifting back to Lucien. Leaning back in her swivel chair, she let out a deep sigh.“What’s going on with you, doctor?” Harold suddenly appeared at the door, stepping inside. “I heard you were a little down today, so I brought cupcakes,” he said, holding up a box of small, cute treats.“Is this from a new admirer?” she teased with a chuckle, sitti
My Mysterious Husband 23: Heartbreak
Fabian’s face crumpled with sorrow, tears carving silent paths down his cheeks. His eyes were hollow, lost. “What happened?” Aria asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Lucien’s voice was heavy with sadness. “What did she say to you?” Fabian shook his head, a tremor in his breath. “She told me… to stop waiting for her.” The words struck like a dagger. In that instant, Fabian’s world came crashing down. His heart splintered, the pain surging through him like a wave too strong to withstand. His knees buckled beneath the weight of it all, and yet he forced himself to walk away. Each step was a battle, every movement a struggle against the gravity of heartbreak. He staggered toward his car, the air thick with silence, trying not to fall apart before the door closed behind him.“Why…?” he whispered, barely able to hear his own voice over the sound of his heartbeat pounding in his ears. His hands trembled on the steering wheel, knuckles white, as tears streamed relentlessly down h
