Poor Heir Millionaire 67
I took a deep breath, feeling my heart squeeze in my chest; I was a coward. My mother had achieved what I couldn't have done no matter how hard I tried.“Lucy thought you had died saving her in the accident, and that fact haunted her. I even know she wouldn't tell me just to avoid alarming me, but Cody has told me; she was the one who planned that accident from the beginning”"W-why would my mother do something like that?" he asked with a choked voice. I could almost feel that he was restraining the urge to cry or scream out of anger, not sure exactly which, maybe both."She wanted to make Lucy suffer, teach her a lesson to separate her from you. But you ended up getting in the way, and I'm eternally grateful to you for saving her, for allowing me to live much longer with her company. I adore her as if my own blood ran through her veins, and you don't know how devastated I would have been without her. That's what I wanted to tell you the day I met you in heaven, but I'm glad it happe

I opened my lips to respond, to refute him, without having the slightest idea of what to say exactly after such words that had pierced my heart. However, his cell phone started ringing loudly in the pocket of his jacket, forcing me to stay silent.He reluctantly took it out, as he had to move his hands away from my body. At that moment, I felt tears streaming down my cheeks. Quickly, without him noticing, I wiped them away with my trembling hands. Then, I turned my face in another direction while he answered the call."Hello, Vico..." he greeted, a bit uncomfortable with the fact that she was the one who had interrupted us. He patiently listened to what his wife was saying and ended the call abruptly with, "Alright, I'll be there.""Is she here?" I muttered when he put his phone away."Yes. Why?""I need to talk to both of you," I muttered, crossing my arms before starting to walk towards Lucila's room, with him sticking to me, one of his eyebrows raised, almost trying to guess what w

My mother encouraged me during that eternal week when I felt completely alone and abandoned by the person who had told me to move forward. Still, I understood to a large extent that Jack was taking his time to come to terms with what was happening with his daughter, and I wasn't one to invade that space he was taking.However, when the horrendous seven days had passed, I slumped into the cafeteria chair, letting out a long sigh that made Nia, Ryan, and Cody raise their eyes from the appetizing food on their trays, puzzled by my behavior."What's going on?" Nia asked, raising one of her eyebrows, confused by my exhausted expression."Nothing," I sighed, depressed, before taking a spoonful of that sticky rice into my mouth. Its taste was definitely disgusting, but it was better than starving."Is it because of Jack, right?" Cody questioned with a mocking smile before putting a piece of meat in his mouth."Shut up, Cody. You don't know anything," I grumbled, furrowing my brow, causing Ni

I managed to enter the beautiful house, walking along a narrow path toward the slightly ajar front door.I silently surveyed the surroundings, finding a playground a few meters away, lush trees, and a meadow with beautiful flowers. It looked quite simple on the outside but large enough to accommodate more than three people.The interior, however, was a complete mess. There were broken things on the floor, books strewn everywhere, and attempting to pick them up was a waste of time as there were too many. The place was upside down, with bottles of all kinds of alcohol everywhere. The paintings in the spacious living room were torn, and the only thing that remained intact was the sofa, where Jack had settled to take a long swig of whiskey straight from the bottle, analyzing me with a smirk as if my horrified expression amused him.He was with his shirt unbuttoned, exposing his bare torso. His hair was a mess, and he had a scruffy beard that didn't look too bad on him. With just a glance

I released a long sigh laden with unease, setting the knife aside on the counter and stepping out of the kitchen, leaving Jack absorbed by my determined stride. I gently took him by the arm, his head tilted, not quite grasping my intent."Come with me.""Where are you taking me?" he stammered, walking absentmindedly towards the outdoors.For some strange reason, I felt he truly needed a good dunk in icy water, so when we stopped at the edge of the pool, I gave him a push that sent him plunging headfirst into the chilly water, despite the sun setting behind the mountains and the clouds swirling in warm hues across the sky."What the hell is wrong with you?!" Jack exclaimed, bewildered, as he managed to resurface, running his hands through his hair to push it back from his face, leaving me stunned by the sensuality of his actions. "Why did you do that, Lucy?!""Because you deserve it for talking nonsense, you're a complete idiot, Jack," I replied, crossing my arms.He looked at me, bewi

As soon as he said that, he let go of me slowly to submerge himself underwater.Puzzled, I watched his movements.Jack swiftly positioned himself in front of me and began to lift my blouse gradually, while planting intense kisses on my torso. When his breath was about to run out, he straightened up, ripping off the garment with a swift motion, leaving me in my bra.He gently grabbed the back of my neck, forcing me to lift my gaze and make kissing more comfortable. He invaded my mouth eagerly, merging his exquisite tongue with mine, fighting to dominate the other.It was supposed to be terrifyingly cold there, but suddenly, my whole body started to heat up, as if someone had lit a fire around us.His hands roamed my back, and unable to resist, I took off his shirt. I backed away a bit to trail my tongue along his throat, eliciting a hoarse moan from him. I nibbled on his collarbone and much of his chest, while he let me do as I pleased, engrossed in unbuttoning my pants, intending to l

The next day, when I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was Jack's serene sleepy face inches from mine.I smiled like a fool as I planted a soft kiss on his cheek, avoiding waking him up with my touch.I searched for my clothes on the floor as I got up, but I could barely find my underwear. I lazily stretched across the room and found a shirt in the closet that was quite large on me, but it was comfortable; I preferred that to walking semi-naked around the house.To my dismay, what was supposed to be cooked the day before had completely spoiled after being left out of the fridge. So, without further ado, I dialed from my phone for some food from the first restaurant I located on an app.I glanced at the time on the screen after hanging up, realizing it was past noon and I hadn't bothered to go to work. I had several missed calls from Ryan, others from Cody, some from Nia, and over ten from Nurse Kim.I let out a tired sigh; it had been a wild night with my own boss, so being late t

I took a deep breath, controlling the anxiety within me, and dragged my feet to the emergency room to take care of the commotion among the interns. Meanwhile, I prayed in my deepest thoughts that the test wouldn't come back negative, pleading with all the gods to please not break Jack's heart any further.But my pleas and the heaps of prayers I had made internally didn't seem to be heard.We were given the papers late at night, and Jack, trembling with fear, handed them to me to review for him, as he couldn't bring himself to even glance at them. Opening the flimsy sheet with the information, I found the news that the chestnut-haired man feared so much. I gritted my teeth, angry at the cruelty of this universe that was always mocking us, and Jack raised one eyebrow, expectant for me to comment on the results. However, the words got stuck in my throat."What does it say?" he asked, his face tense with concern. I felt my heart pounding desperately in my chest, with the intention of runn
