Poor Heir Millionaire 86
Fortunately, we cleaned ourselves with some wet wipes that Jack had stashed in his desk, which made me think that perhaps what we had done had been premeditated on his part.There was no way to shower, so reluctantly I had to wipe the sweat off with them and perfume my body, since I really didn't want to have a single trace of the intense smell of sex on my skin.After getting dressed, we decided to walk through the halls aimlessly. I was ready to tell him absolutely everything, however, I didn't want to break the comfortable silence that enveloped us just yet. I hoped that moment would last even longer, as I was sure he would get angry like crazy for not telling him sooner.We walked in total calmness, sipping on juices we had gotten from the vending machines. As we crossed the halls, I could tell we were heading towards Lucila's room, as it was time for her check-ups, just like Jack's routine visit every day."Can you tell me what's going on?" he asked before taking a long sip of st

She staggered, amazed by the harsh treatment she was receiving from the energetic guy. He glared at her with his blue eyes filled with intense hatred, which the elder didn't hesitate to return with a gesture full of disdain.Cody turned angrily on his own feet and grabbed the blonde by her arms to shake her, frantic with what he was hearing coming out of her mouth, which was simply absurd, and unfortunately for him, it enraged him immensely."Why the hell are you apologizing? You did nothing wrong! You don't deserve this crazy woman treating you like this!""Did you just call me crazy?!""That's enough, Grandma!" Lucila pleaded in a shout, as Deborah, relentless in her mission to harm them until she satisfied her desires for revenge, angrily grabbed Cody by his hair, pulling his head sharply, ready to leave him completely bald, and he writhed frantically amidst screams, hoping she would stop once and for all. "Stop it!""Mom!" Jack roared, finally emerging from his bewilderment.The p

When everything was calmer, I left the room, with Jack trailing behind me, totally dejected, giving the others their respective space to recover from what had happened.I had completely forgotten the reason why I had gone to fetch that idiot dragging his feet beside me; it had vanished from my mind due to that tragic incident. How important it was to mention to him what I had been hiding from him for days on end.However, every time I tried to even mention it, something happened. Perhaps it was fate correcting me that it was best to keep silent, but unfortunately, a great remorse invaded my body, inhibiting me from acting naturally, so I urgently needed to confess to him as soon as possible.He stopped walking, staying behind me with his hands in his pant pockets and his gaze fixed on the floor, restraining the unrestrained desires to cry or scream, maybe both.I turned around slowly to observe him with a raised eyebrow, controlling my desire to embrace him, to rid him of his terrible

Since Jack needed to prepare for the operation as best as possible, he decided to take some time off work to stay in the hospital for days, where Nurse Kim administered the necessary medications for the collection of stem cells, ensuring that everything would go smoothly on the day of his surgery.At times, I would stand outside observing from the hallway his face of pain and exhaustion. I hadn't spoken to him no matter how much I tried, and likewise, he hadn't made much effort to initiate a conversation with me.The brown-haired man remained calm and chose to keep his distance, although sometimes, when our gazes met, I could feel his silent pain invading my entire body. Being in that state was a dreadful torture.However, even though I knew it was wrong to sulk in a corner, seeing him slowly killing himself was detestable, and not being able to do anything to stop him made me feel like a complete idiot.Days after the catastrophic scene with Deborah, Victoria had a strange visit from

I shook my head, dispelling my negative thoughts. I would give my best to keep Jack alive, but the prognosis was not encouraging.I hurriedly wiped away the tears that had escaped from my eyes upon hearing the doorbell ringing throughout the house. It was surely those two who had agreed to go buy some gifts for the kids and then pick me up. I ran to open the door without bothering to even glance to make sure it was them. After all, Jack was lying in bed barely breathing.I turned around, ready to grab my suitcase to leave."I'm almost done packing everything, just wait for me for a second..." I whispered as I returned to the room. Remembering that I didn't have my identifications, I rummaged through the nightstand, and it was terrifyingly surprising to find a pile of messages I hadn't seen in a long time, ever since Jack had reappeared in my life."I'll come for you," was written on scraps of magazine paper, too many to count at a glance, and I was sure it was another one of Jack's ta

I heard the sound of something breaking, and seconds later, tiny shards of glass fell upon us, injuring my face and hers. Although she was bleeding, she didn't bother with anything other than strangling me with her thick hands."Let me go!" I growled between tears. I wanted to defend myself from her attacks, to hit her face, to scratch every part of her skin, but her holding me by the neck was the only chance of not falling backwards into the precipice, as my feet were on the edge, struggling to hold on due to the lack of oxygen.I heard distant screams from people on the street, and the wind caressed my hair, whispering to me as it passed that I would soon die.If she let me go, there would be no way to survive at that height; it would be my end.They always say that when you're about to die, you see your life flash before your eyes or a faint light approaching you, but all I could glimpse was my father's contempt in his pupils, I could see the anger in his expression fused with the

"Don't make that face, you're supposed to be happy to see me again," he muttered, disappointed with my downtrodden expression. He placed his hands on my shoulders and without warning, he clawed at my breasts, forcing me to bite my lower lip to stifle my screams, choking them back in my chest."Dad, I love you," I blurted out suddenly, it was my last chance to escape from this dreadful scenario. He remained petrified under my distressed gaze, and upon sensing his distress, a magnificent escape plan crossed my mind. "I'll be good, I'll do whatever you ask. Please don't hurt me anymore.""It doesn't matter what you say, Lucy. My desire to tear you apart won't change, darling," he muttered with a hint of sadness in his voice. However, his expression was impassive, even as he watched me cry inconsolably. It was evident from miles away how pleasurable this moment was for him. "That's just how things are for you and me. When I kill you, I'll go with you. There's no way I'll be separated from

I remember in my eerie dreams, I wandered aimlessly along a path of stones, which hurt the soles of my feet with every step, yet I didn't care because I kept walking until, at the end of the road, I found myself covered in blood.Terrified, I looked at my hands, finding that knife between them, soaked in that crimson liquid. I was ready to scream in horror, but suddenly my eyes snapped open, bringing me back to reality.The first thing I encountered was a white wall, the smell of medications invading my nostrils, and I mechanically breathed, calming my racing heart, realizing without much effort that I was in a hospital.I heard distorted voices of two people nearby, and I let my eyes wander around the illuminated room, finding Nia and Ryan on the couch, chatting in whispers.I struggled to sit up, letting out a groan that caught their attention. Both noticed that I had woken up – after who knows how many days – and stood up to help me."Lucy!" scolded the girl, standing by my side, a

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
