Poor Heir Millionaire 12
I spent the rest of the day lying in bed, resting, as my body was paying the price for all the exertion. I dozed off for short periods, where sometimes Jack would lie beside me for quick naps, or he'd simply watch over me, thinking I was fast asleep.I felt his hands stroking my hair and his breath so close to my face, enveloping me in its sweet scent.After he took a long bath, with his help, I finally managed to get up, knowing I had to go to work whether I wanted to or not. I wrapped myself in the sheet, feeling shy about being seen naked, although it was somewhat absurd after what had happened. Still, I was quite modest about my body."Are you sure you can manage on your own?" he questioned from the bathroom, biting his lower lip, a bit concerned that I might hurt myself further while showering."Yes...""I can join you if you want.""No!" I exclaimed, paling at his suggestion, causing him to let out a teasing chuckle at my abrupt reaction. "I don't want that!""Okay," he nodded,

That night, we closed up almost at four in the morning, as the sky began to slowly brighten with the peeking sun between the mountains.We had stopped at a 24-hour supermarket before heading home at Jack's request. He spent quite some time buying things that I didn't even get to know what they were, as I stayed outside in the middle of the street, waiting for him.Minutes later, when he came out of the store, he was carrying a bag full of items, and I couldn't help but gasp at such a splurge of money on his part.Despite the argument hours ago, Jack had returned to his usual self. In contrast, I couldn't shake off his words from my mind, making it increasingly difficult for me to keep up with the conversation.Even my behavior seemed too mechanical, as if I were some kind of programmed robot."What do you say we watch the sunrise?""Sure," I shrugged.After all, I wasn't feeling the slightest hint of sleep or tiredness, having practically been in bed all day before.He took my hand, n

Despite it being daytime, I tried to sleep in my room with the curtains tightly closed, but I couldn't close my eyes.Jack invaded my thoughts.I couldn't shake off the melancholic image of his gaze when we arrived home and his sorrowful smile as we bid each other good night, going off to rest in our respective places.Something deep within my heart bothered me intensely. Perhaps it was my brutality when it came to matters of love... or maybe it was the fact that I had hurt him with my abrupt and cowardly behavior.I wasn't entirely sure, but no matter how hard I tried to shut my eyes and drift off to sleep, they would snap open, staring at the ceiling as I sought answers to everything I felt inside.I urgently needed to admit my feelings, to be honest with myself once and for all.I got out of bed determined to do just that, clumsily making my way to the living room where Jack was already fast asleep on the couch... or at least that's what it looked like at first glance.I stood next

I tried with all my strength to free myself from his arms, but I was not very successful; as he laughingly led me back to the sofa, forcing me to sit on his legs to kiss my bare back, hoping that it would calm me down a little from the terror that his ideas produced in me.I had to admit that his inordinate caresses warmed me up more than I should have been able to take my mind off things in a matter of seconds, leaving me blank.I was so engrossed that I was not even aware of the moment when I was left without a single piece of clothing covering me. His hands moved swiftly to my erect nipples, causing me immense pleasure with them.I couldn't understand how my insipid body could react so quickly to Jack's affections. It seemed absurd to me to feel so at ease, yet I was pretty sure I wanted him not to stop.“Let me see your whole body," he asked very seductively in my ear, making my skin crawl with his warm breath.He set me free, trusting that I would not leave and I complied with hi

"The days by their side passed so quickly that I began to fear they might end without me even realizing it.We had spent too much time together, and I couldn't understand how we hadn't grown tired of each other, especially since we even slept together.Sometimes we'd have breakfast while watching TV, we'd do our grocery shopping as soon as we received our daily pay, and we worked at the same place, where I had to deal with flirty girls hitting on Jack.Meanwhile, Jack dealt with men who sometimes tried to flirt with me right in front of him, especially Cody, who still wouldn't give up on the idea of being with me.We seemed like a newlywed couple or something similar. Initially, labeling ourselves as 'boyfriend and girlfriend' bothered me a bit since I had never officially been with someone, as solitude had been my best ally for practically my entire life. But I had to accept it due to Jack's tantrums.His vibrant and lively personality began to reveal sides of him even more overwhelm

Over time, we learned almost everything about each other—likes and dislikes, weaknesses and strengths.But those secrets that couldn't even be mentioned remained buried deep within the earth, and I was sure they wouldn't surface for a good while. Not because I didn't trust Jack; I just didn't know where to begin with that dark story. Therefore, I kept it hidden deep within my memories, ignoring its existence.Winter swept through Ellijay mercilessly, and we hardly even noticed. As December arrived, snow mercilessly blanketed the town, freezing everything in its path.Nevertheless, people had made an effort to decorate the exteriors of their homes with colorful lights or plastic figurines, the opposite of us. We had barely put up a tiny tree in the middle of the dining room—only because Jack had bought it at the supermarket, completely ignoring my complaints on the matter.I knew he hated Christmas, not just because my birthday fell on the 24th, simply because it wasn't a holiday that

"Come on, Ryan..." I huffed, rolling my eyes. He couldn't stop teasing me even though I didn't live with them anymore. That kid always had to push my buttons; he was like a miniature Jack. "You know it's me.""Secret password," he insisted."Ryan!" I growled, giving the door a stronger tap, which reluctantly swung open, revealing the significant change he'd undergone in the last year I hadn't seen him.That silly boy was the oldest among those currently living in that orphanage, at thirteen. His tan skin had darkened a bit from intense hours of play under the sun. His coal-black eyes gleamed upon seeing me, and a beautiful smile lit up his face when he finally hugged me."Sister Lucy!""What other Lucy do you know?""I missed you!" he purred, leaving me breathless with the strength of his embrace."And I missed you too," I whispered, gently pulling away, under Jack's somewhat wary gaze at the young boy.Jack, not one to hold back, smiled back with a hint of displeasure. Seeing them di

After making sure everyone was dressed warmly to avoid catching a cold, we decided to head outside. Paul had the brilliant idea of playing a game with a deflated ball, the only one they had at the moment.With ten of us, the teams were evenly split. I led one team, while Ryan led the opposing team.Behind me were Camila, Katia, and Paul, while Brooke clung to my back like a koala. We dashed around, annoying our opponents, as they struggled to get us out of the game with their failed shots.Jack watched from a distance, at the foot of the house alongside Monica. They hadn't stopped talking about goodness knows what ever since I introduced them, which made me think they might be up to something, that fool and her.He seemed too serious for my liking, but at times when he gazed at me and our eyes accidentally met, he'd smile at me tenderly, instantly making me blush.Caught up in his seductive demeanor, the ball landed on my stomach, forcing me out of the game.I took a deep breath, tryi

Poor Heir Millionaire Epilogue
We were a vast family, and no matter where in the universe we found ourselves, we would always return to our cozy home.However, we never imagined that one day Aisha would show up and that it would unleash a little hell as far as Lucila is concerned, Jack, and why not… myself."Mom?" Jack's incredulous tone and his words made me jump. I was feeding little Sara, my 5-month-old baby, when someone knocked on the door, thus revealing the face of my husband's mother.I preferred to go elsewhere and let them talk, while I had to swallow the displeasure of having that harpy back in our midst."Hello, Lucy," I was petrified halfway to my room, and my head almost spun like the girl from The Exorcist, astonished and speechless at the sudden greeting and the changed face of the perpetrator. "That must be your baby…"Her tone faded away, and I was still standing in the middle of the living room, with Jack looking at us like a circus spectacle and the little one starting to cry restlessly in my ar

Being by Jack's side, everything unfolded so quickly that those eight years living as a married couple passed fleetingly before my eyes, leaving me astounded at how swiftly time sometimes flew around us without us even realizing it.Together, we experienced many things, both good and bad. We learned to deal with adversities and be happy even when the world outside was falling apart.We rarely argued, perhaps because we worked long hours each day. However, among those hours, we always found at least a little time to see each other, to share romantic gestures, to share with each other, or simply to love each other.We had bought a beautiful house on the outskirts of Atlanta, where we had everything we needed. There, there was no worry other than enjoying our daily lives intensely, seizing each moment by doing whatever we fancied without any fear.We had all changed quite a bit; we were no longer as young. Each of us had taken our respective paths and had encountered different situations

"Was it necessary to go naked?" I asked, crossing my arms."Yes, I didn't want to ruin my clothes, and besides, if I want to make love to you, I have to be naked, right?" he replied."I'm not going to play along. No way!""Come on, you'll like it," he pleaded, winking at me mischievously. I scrutinized him with skeptical eyes, not entirely convinced by his words. I didn't want to end up freezing or spending the rest of our honeymoon with a cold."Trust me..." he urged.I took a deep breath, part of me fearing that someone would see us. However, it was too late for the hotel guests to still be awake, and everything was shrouded in darkness, with only the moon barely illuminating the place.Uneasy like never before, I began to take off my dress, feeling Jack's appreciative gaze on my skin. I descended step by step until my feet touched the warm water, letting out a relieved sigh. I immediately immersed myself completely, approaching Jack under the same conditions."I don't understand wh

He stood before the expectant crowd, giving me a smile that I instantly returned.He held a champagne glass in his hands, and suppressing the urge to burst into tears, he took a long sip of the liquid, controlling his emotions with it."Sometimes when I see them, I think destiny exists, because believe me when I say that it never crossed my mind that because of a simple robbery, you two would one day marry and start a home," muttered the dark-haired man without taking his eyes off us, bringing to our minds that moment years ago when by chance, we ended up living together in my old apartment. "And I truly feel proud to have done it because otherwise, neither I nor any of you could be here standing, witnessing a deep marital union. I think I would never have been able to do so many good things in my life, and probably our paths would be very different now if it weren't for that. However, I am grateful in the past for being a complete fool to steal from you, Jack, because that small acti

Several months after planning everything meticulously, from choosing the location to what we would wear and even what we would eat, we traveled by private jet to Bora Bora, a small island in French Polynesia that was truly magnificent.Jack had the idea that he would be the one to perform our wedding ceremony, and I, a little excited, agreed, as the photos I had seen online of every corner were splendid.The sea was so clear that I could see the fish swimming in it, the warm breeze on my face quickened my heart, and the white sand beneath my feet were simply the best sensations in the universe.I had to admit that getting there had not been easy at all, as we had had a lot of setbacks in organizing our wedding. The invitations didn't turn out as I had hoped, and even delivering them was quite a ordeal. Jack's suit was almost not ready for the date we had indicated, let alone my dress, booking the hotel and restaurant for so many people was almost impossible.We had definitely gone thr

Jack’s POVThere is a memory that Lucy does not have in her memories, and it's not like I've ever mentioned it to her, because I know she won't be able to remember it no matter how much I explain and describe it to her.I know she has erased all that pain from her childhood, and that memory that I have always possessed is no longer in her brain, although I wish she could remember it.She thinks the first time we met was in Ellijay, at a horrible dive bar, however, I know that's not entirely true, because the first time we met she was just a 5-year-old girl, lost in the midst of that crazy fair in Atlanta.She was celebrating the last day of that year like everyone else there, but she wasn't happy; she was crying inconsolably in a corner, searching with her eyes for something that didn't seem to arrive no matter how much she waited."Are you okay?" I asked her, crouching down in front of her to be at her eye level. She had very light blond hair, almost ashen.The little girl remained s

I adjusted the ribbon on my dress for the tenth time that cold November morning, and once satisfied that it was in place, I paced back and forth, anxious that the fool wouldn't be smart enough to realize that I would be there.Anyway, Hall and Black would give him more clues in case he didn't figure it out at first, but with each tick of the clock, my heart sank with terror.Nervously, I bit my lower lip and let my gaze wander around the room, trying to distract myself from the tension coursing through my veins.My mother was in the kitchen preparing the final dishes, Lucila was playing on the floor with Brooke and Blake, who happily lent her their toys.Ryan and Nia were setting the table amidst jokes, Carl and Paul were double-checking the song they would play with their guitars, Katia and Lauren were inflating balloons with laughter, while the twins outside kept watch for Jack, who was taking too long to arrive.Cody was sitting on the couch after placing the sign in its rightful p

"Black has told me about the results, congratulations, Miss Wolfang," he murmured sensually in my ear, sending shivers down my spine where his sweet breath brushed against me."Thank you, Mr. Thierry," I mumbled, letting out a wide smile. "If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would be now."The taller man stared at me absorbed in his thoughts, perhaps internally debating whether to ask me something that I was unaware of. I observed him in total silence, waiting for him to finally open his mouth.I stayed comfortable in his arms, entranced by the sensation that ran down my back every time he mesmerized me with those eyes, captivated by every gesture that emanated from his face, which accelerated my heart greatly."Lucy...""Yes?""Do you really not intend to tell me?" he inquired, with that puppy-eyed look and pouting that drove me crazy, and then, I understood everything.As always, that stupid boy had it all well planned out; he was looking for a way to coax out the information

“How long will it take Nia?”“I don't know, damn it!” spat the tallest one, enraged by what was happening. “If we don't calm her down, she could have a fit.”“Let me go, you damn bastards!,” I pleaded hysterically, from there I could hear that familiar beep that I had heard so many times in other people, but now it belonged to the machine of the person I loved.“Lucy, I'm really sorry, but we promised it to Jack,” Cody whispered in my ear, leaving me petrified with his words.“What do you mean you promised it to him?,” I murmured, feeling all the color drain from my face.That's why everyone was so prepared, except me.The only idiot who had the slightest hope that that stupid man would live to be by my side forever was me. He lied to me again, Jack knew there was no chance, and I knew it beforehand, but I wanted to believe that maybe there was a small exception.I had deluded myself into thinking something that sadly would never come true.“Jack's brother asked each of us that if som
