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

We fell into silence, not knowing what was best to say after such a confession, but no comments came out of our mouths. Both of us were stunned.Victoria, with her head down, tucked a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear, wiping away the tear stains on her rosy cheeks with her trembling hands, while Jack just stood there lifeless, with his world completely shattered at his feet.You could see in his eyes how miserable he felt inside, desperately trying to think that it wasn't true, that she had only blurted out that name just to say something and not because it was true, and I, like an idiot, stood there next to him, unable to move a muscle despite the intense orders I sent to my limbs to leave. Because that matter definitely didn't concern me."How is it possible that Cody is Lucila's father?" Jack chuckled, rolling his eyes at how absurd that idea sounded.But I couldn't share in his moment of mockery, I was static, lost in my thoughts, where what Cody had mentioned weeks ago re

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
