Poor Heir Millionaire 55
With a stern expression, I followed them, trying not to dwell on the matter too much since I knew she was entirely right; Jack belonged to her, even if he had been won through trickery. They were a family, and I was just trespassing into forbidden territory.Cody and Lucila devoured their ice cream in a matter of minutes, as neither I nor Victoria dared to have one.We said our goodbyes upon leaving the place when Victoria announced that her driver would pick them up there. Lucila, a bit downcast, bid Cody farewell with a tight hug, which he reciprocated with a pained expression. Together, we decided to head back to the hospital."I swear I've seen that woman somewhere else," grumbled Cody, the moment we stood next to his motorcycle parked in the hospital's parking lot."That's impossible," I chuckled at how absurd that sounded, but he had insisted on it almost the entire way."You'll see. When I remember, you'll be so surprised that you'll have to eat everything I cook from now unti

He held me more firmly as I struggled desperately, but somehow he grabbed my face forcefully, leaving me petrified when his lips touched mine.He had done it again, completely losing me with his cheap tricks.My willpower wilted the moment he touched me, or even when he looked at me in that inexplicable way."It's just a damn useless title!" he growled exasperated. "When the person I want is you, what do you expect me to do?""The right thing, Jack!""The right thing for me is to end this charade and be with you, but I know you don't have the guts to tell me what happened 8 years ago, much less to be by my side without feeling bad for the rest of your life about what Victoria or Lucila might think.""Aren't you worried about the pain your daughter will feel?""Lucila is smart enough to accept it. The love for her is the most precious thing I have, and she's the most important person in my life. But you are too," he replied, holding me tightly in his arms while stroking my hair. I rest

Thankfully, the apartment was completely empty. Cody had mentioned he'd probably return in the early morning from his job as a companion, while Nia stayed at the hospital to finish her project in peace."What would you like to drink?" I stammered like an idiot, rushing to slip away into the kitchen to calm myself."Nothing, really," he replied, standing behind me, closely watching every move I made in the fridge."O-okay," I sighed, closing the door with my trembling hands."Why are you so nervous?" he asked, chuckling softly while wrapping his arms around me, drawing me closer to his body."I won't do anything you don't ask for, I promised," he added."I'm not going to ask for anything, idiot!""Sure?""Of course!" I lied hastily."Doesn't seem like 'nothing' is what you were thinking when you invited me to your house.""Stop playing the mind reader," I grumbled, freeing myself from his grip with the idea of sitting on the living room sofa and doing absolutely nothing to further unse

"I missed the scent of your skin, your intimacy, the expression on your face every time I touch you..." he sighed with our foreheads close, stealing each other's breath with those affectionate looks we exchanged. "I adore you, Lucy.""Ah..." I murmured in a thread of a voice when he decided it was time to take the next step.He completely removed his clothes, standing naked before me, revealing the perfection of his body in the midst of the darkness."Do it... I want to feel you completely, Jack...""Lucy..." he whispered awkwardly, penetrating me slowly, while his strong hands gripped my hips."Ah..."I couldn't hold back any longer; I let out that deep moan I had been containing for so long as I felt his member enter slowly. It was inevitable in the face of the explosion of sensations within me.I moved very slowly, silently indicating that he could start his thrusts. He withdrew his cock and entered again, starting a slow rhythm without any desire to end that connection too soon.I

We had ended up in the middle of the bed, embraced and sharing body warmth on that freezing January night.I had laid my head on his chest, attentively listening to the beating of his heart, turning into music for my ears with each passing second, while we whispered about trivial things, with no desire to sleep just yet."Why did you study medicine?" he asked curiously, while stroking my hair with his fingers."Because I can earn a lot of money," I chuckled softly, with him joining in without a hint of annoyance at my premeditated response, as that decision hadn't been so random after all."Yes, but that's not the real reason.""It doesn't matter too much if I tell you now," I whispered, showering sweet kisses on his chest, indicating without the need for words that it was another secret I preferred to keep hidden from him for the time being. "It's a foolishness that no longer has relevance, Jack."He sighed deeply, reluctantly accepting my words, keeping his demeanor completely seren

Upon waking up the next day, it was a bit strange to find a sleeping Jack wrapped around me as if I were his teddy bear.My heart skipped a beat seeing his angelic face inches from mine.I carefully got out of bed, trying not to disturb his slumber, but before I could tiptoe my way to the bathroom, one of his hands grabbed my wrist."Where are you going?""To take a shower," I answered, smiling sweetly as he yawned and stretched on the bed like a little kid. "Remember, we have to work?""We can skip it for today," he mumbled drowsily, pulling me gently towards him. I sat on the edge of the bed, allowing him to wrap his arms around me and rest his head on my legs, looking too comfortable. "I'm the boss, and you're my faithful servant, so let's just stay home.""This is not your home, Jack.""From today, it might as well be," he declared, his eyes half-closed, ready to go back to the sleep he had interrupted. Noticing my lack of reaction to his suggestion of spending another day togethe

"We had a rough start, Cody Candles, but I think I have a big enough heart not to hold it against you," Jack whispered, intensifying that friendly handshake."How do you two know each other?" Nia murmured, too interested in revealing what everything had truly started with."Do you remember the thief who snatched my wallet eight years ago? Well, that was him.""Really?" she exclaimed, amazed. "How did I not know?""I'm retired; now I'm a man of the Lord," Cody smiled as he recalled it, shrugging calmly as if the matter weren't as relevant to Nia. "I sweat pure holy water.""You guys are too noisy!" I complained while finishing setting the plates for each one all by myself, as Jack was engrossed in conversation with those two.Nia opened her mouth to say something more, but then, her phone started ringing frantically in the pocket of her pants. She took it out hastily, and her expression matched the urgency upon seeing the number on the screen."Ryan? What's going on?" she whispered anx

He stopped in front of us with his hands in the pockets of his gown, and when our eyes met, I could see he had bad news to deliver."We," I stammered, tears filling my eyes."Excellent, Doctor Wolfang," he said, surprised at the size of my family. "Can I speak privately with you about this matter?"I had to entrust Brooke to Cody, who sat with her, sharing stories that she loved and that always cheered her up.I walked with Dr. Sparks in complete silence, leaving the others behind with misconceptions swirling in their heads, adding to their distress."What's going on?" I asked as we stopped at the emergency reception, where only nurses were attending."We need to operate on her heart immediately.""How serious is she?""She has a blockage in several coronary arteries, causing her heart to not receive enough blood. One of them is too blocked. Coronary artery bypass surgery will improve blood circulation to the heart, allowing oxygen and necessary nutrients to reach it.""So, what's the

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
