Poor Heir Millionaire 23
We had to wait a short while at the bus stop across the highway.Thankfully, my backpack felt light, carrying only the dirty clothes from the previous day. Otherwise, I would have grown weary standing there under the darkening sky.Throughout the entire journey back home, I fell into a deep sleep on Jack's comfortable shoulder. Despite having secured the window seat this time, I didn't get a chance to glimpse the scenery due to my exhaustion.I felt his fingers gently caressing the back of my hand in colorful, vibrant dreams that felt almost too real to believe. Before me was a different world, where I lived carefree with Jack, our children, my mother, and the kids from the foster home.I wasn't entirely sure why the setting was a beach I'd never visited since I'd never ventured beyond Ellijay. All I could distinguish was that we were running around in the warm sand, laughing and tumbling to the ground amid laughter.It was unquestionably a good dream, the best I'd had in years, and I

I was extremely worried, so at times, I'd gaze at him, increasing the strength of my grip, hoping to transfer some of my energy through our intertwined fingers.He would smile sweetly at me, sometimes kissing my forehead under his mother's watchful eye, then returning his sad gaze back to the window.It was a slow journey due to the bad weather; the roads were somewhat slippery. Nevertheless, that didn't hinder us from reaching Atlanta in the early hours of the next day.Despite the heavy snowfall resembling more of a storm, I could still see the beautiful architecture of the city. Buildings soared high into the sky; some seemed made entirely of glass while others were adorned in metallic hues. Everywhere I looked, there were various advertisements, colorful signs, and vibrant lights that left me speechless due to their beauty.It was entirely different from what I was accustomed to—a whole new world.The car took us through the dark streets, from the poorest to the most ostentatious

Despite telling him that everything would be fine, even after comforting him for a long while, Jack continued to maintain a distant attitude toward me.I had tried to smile a bit and engage in trivial conversation while we had breakfast, but it had been in vain. I could easily tell that something truly serious was bothering him.Some issue unknown to me tormented him, enough to make him lose the joy that characterized him. However, I chose not to ask about it, convinced that he would tell me on his own when he was ready.He left after brushing his teeth, leaving me entirely alone in that place but with a little money he had given me to buy whatever I fancied, which was almost negligible at that moment.So, I occupied myself by keeping my mind busy washing our clothes, organizing every corner of the place, cleaning the accumulated dust, but by the time everything sparkled perfectly, it was well past noon.I quickly showered in that spectacular bathroom, dressed in the first clothes I f

I don't remember how long we stood there, staring deeply into each other's eyes.I hoped to somehow find the answers I needed in the depths of his gaze, but it was impossible no matter how hard I tried.Jack wore a mixture of concern and confusion at seeing me in that state, having me standing there just a few steps away, unable to speak due to the panic coursing through my veins.I feared discovering that everything Deborah had said was true, as deep down, I still held on to the hope that Jack hadn't lied to me for so long.I wanted to believe in him, in his words and actions, but a small part of me doubted the sincerity of our relationship.One side of me needed to ensure right away that he truly cared for me and that it wasn't just a game, that these feelings were mutual and not as Deborah had suggested, a way to toy with my emotions for mere amusement."Are you okay, Lucy?" he asked, terrified by my silence, coupled with my face contorted in deep disappointment. "Why are you cryin

To my surprise, we managed to sleep deeply in that huge bed, wrapped up under the warm covers.My dreams were confusing, wandering through incomprehensible lights and colors, accompanied by the same words in a whisper that repeated over and over, causing me a bit of discomfort.To my bitter surprise, upon waking up, I remembered absolutely nothing of what I had heard, let alone what little I had glimpsed.The radiant sun had mischievously slipped through the room's windows, compelling me to abruptly open my eyes. I scanned the room, hoping to find Jack by my side, but he was nowhere to be seen.I got up, puzzled, rubbing my eyes with the back of my hands, and lazily yawned as I made my way to the kitchen, where I found the handsome guy dressed in a suit, sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper.He was enjoying breakfast, completely oblivious to my presence.Standing in the middle of the room in total silence, I watched as he sipped a cup of coffee and took a bite of his toas

Laughing slyly at his pleas, I stopped, leaving him totally lost, since I had suddenly cut off that incredible sensation. He followed me with his gaze in surprise, anxious for me to continue as soon as possible.I released his hands, allowing him to do whatever he wanted to me.He sat up in the middle of the bed, grabbed me by the waist and helped me sit on him, placed his thick hands on my hips with desire, and then began to move them in that crazy rhythm that we loved so much.I let out several moans of pleasure as he kissed my neck and every nook and cranny in his path.“You're cruel," he moaned, his voice cracking.“I know you like it when I am.”“No way, you were playing with me... Lucy.”“Ah... I love you…” I sighed, my mind going blank at every thrust. “It feels great... I love having you inside me.”“Yes?”“Come inside…”“Your wish is my command, baby....”He violently laid me down on my back on the bed, knelt in front of me, biting his lips, marveling at my words.

"I have something important to announce!" he exclaimed, grabbing the champagne glass from his mother's side, leaving her flabbergasted as he lifted it up in the air, sporting a mocking smile. Unfortunately, I couldn't help but chuckle quietly at his playful antics."What is it, dear?" Victoria asked, clinking her glass with his, eagerly anticipating the news.Jack winked at me, signaling that he was ready for whatever would come out of his mouth, while his mother resigned herself completely, letting her surgically altered face rest on her hand, expressionless at Jack's actions, perhaps because she was starting to suspect his plans."Vico..." he murmured, earning a delighted gaze from his fiancée. Kind and as charming as ever, he took one of her hands and caressed it so tenderly that I felt a pang of jealousy seeing them."I'm not going to marry you, Vico," he said. "I don't love you. I'm in love with Lucy, and no matter what you do, my feelings for her won't change. So, I prefer we ca

I heard his voice saying my name, saw his terrified face imagining what happened to me, and then, just before the car could hit me in my deep sleep, I abruptly opened my eyes.The scent of potent medicines filled my nostrils. I looked around, completely confused to be in that place when moments ago, I was on the road, chatting with Jack.I sat up abruptly in the middle of the hospital bed, a saline bag connected to my right arm through a needle.I felt a sharp, short pain in my head, but it was bearable. My chest heaved rapidly due to my accelerated breathing.People in a much worse state than mine were around me, some sleeping, and others talking to their respective doctors.I ripped the needle out forcefully to get off the bed and walk out without any issue, searching for Jack.Why wasn't he by my side? What had happened exactly?I took a few steps before feeling a dizzying swirl in my head, accompanied by the urge to vomit churning inside me.One of the hospital nurses stopped in f

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
Poor Heir Millionaire 108 (final)
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
