*Michelle's POV*
Bridal Shower Night 1
“What the hell is going on here!” My voice trembled with disbelief and fury as I stumbled into the room. The sight before me felt surreal—Dell, the man I was set to marry tomorrow, lay naked on the bed with my step-sister, Sharon. The room seemed to freeze in time as I took in the scene.
Dell and Sharon both looked up, their eyes wide with shock, but there was no trace of remorse on their faces. It was as if they had been caught in the middle of an ordinary day, not in the midst of the most intimate betrayal imaginable.
“You can see exactly what’s happening, can’t you?” Dell’s voice was cold, his irritation barely masked. “So, why the fuss?”
My heart pounded violently in my chest, as though it might burst free from my rib cage. His words felt like a slap in the face, each syllable echoing in my mind as I struggled to keep my sanity intact.
I loved him. I had given everything to make this relationship work. And now, on my bridal shower night, I found him in this disgraceful state with my sister. My hands trembled uncontrollably, and I fought to keep my tears from spilling over.
“What to do now? Looks like we’ve been caught by my dear sister” Sharon said mockingly, a smirk playing on her lips. My fists clenched, my nails digging into my palms, drawing blood. I was seething with rage.
Dell and Sharon were still entwined, indifferent to my presence. The sheer audacity of their nonchalance, stung more than their betrayal. I had always hoped for freedom from my family’s cruelty and when I met him, I thought I would. But now, it felt like my entire existence had been a lie.
“This is absurd” I mumbled, barely recognizing my own voice through the haze of anger.
“What’s absurd?” Sharon sneered, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “Are you confused?”
“How could you do this to me!” I snapped, losing control. In a fit of fury, I grabbed a nearby flower vase and hurled it in their direction. It shattered against the wall, pieces flying as Dell and Sharon scrambled to separate themselves.
“Are you insane! You almost injured me, you stupid woman!” Dell shouted, his hand pressing against his side as if to check for injuries.
“Crazy woman!” Sharon yelled, trying to cover her exposed chest. Dell snatched the duvet, wrapping it around himself with a look of disdain.
“Bitch! Why are you angry? You should blame yourself for being stupid. You forced yourself on me" He gritted his teeth.
"I hate seeing your face. If I had a choice Michelle, I would never have taken it this far. I would never!” Dell spouted angrily.
“Just yesterday Dell, you promised to move heaven and earth for me, to seize for me the whole world and now you're saying I forced myself on you? How? You approached me first!”
He scoffed, “I can see the reason your father cannot trust you, you are so stupid! Why would you think that, I, Dell Houston would settle for a woman like you? I simply approached you because I like your sister, but you just won't stop pushing things! You should be grateful to her for letting you have it to this extent.”
My eyes were filled with tears I was trying to control as his harsh words echoed in my head.
“You are having an affair with my step sister and you want to get married to me? You're nothing but a pathetic jerk!” I banged my hand against the wall angrily, sniffing back my tears afterwards.
“What do you mean? An affair? Are you calling me a side chick? You're the fucking bitch here!” Sharon sneered.
“Shut your mouth!” I roared, shooting her a deadly glare. She gulped down hard, the shock on her face evident.
I'd lived under her shadow since she was born and always had to let go of anything she wanted, even if my life depended on it.
But I didn't expect her to be so shameless to the point of snatching my fiance! The one person that gave me hope!
“Why are you so angry baby!” Dell taunted, his voice dripping with venom. “You should be begging me to stay. Tomorrow is the wedding, after all. You wouldn’t want to disappoint your father.”
“Dell, why are you calling her that!” Sharon’s jealousy was evident.
“We still need something from her. We should be nice. She’ll have no choice but to comply" Dell retorted cutely.
“Exactly” Sharon agreed, her gaze dismissive.
They spoke about me as if I weren’t even there. My heart felt like it was being crushed under the weight of their words. “Beg? Who? You’ve cheated on me!”
“So what!” Dell’s contempt was palpable. “You were never my first choice. You’re just a placeholder for my grandfather’s wishes. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have bothered.”
My heart shattered into a billion pieces at his words, all the time I’d spent loving and trusting him was based on a cruel deception. He wasn’t worth any of my anguish.
“I won’t let you get away with this!” I declared, my voice resolute. Turning on my heel, I stormed out of the room, my heart aching with every step.
“She’ll be back soon!” I heard Dell’s mocking voice follow me.
Tears streamed down my face as I walked out of the room, but then I heard a flower vase shattered. “You bitch! Just die!” Sharon roared. Sharon hit a vase on my head, and that was when the pain set in.
“Ahh!” I winced in pain. I staggered towards the wall to lean on it because my strength failed me.
How could she do that to me? It wasn't enough that she betrayed me, but what? She wanted to kill me? My sister? Why would she do that?
“Are you crazy? Are you trying to kill her!” Dell panicked. “I don't care, she has to die or else she is going to screw us over!” I heard them argue behind me, but during that time I slipped out of the room dragging my weak body with me.
I couldn't feel my eyes, but I knew I had to escape from the two monsters. I couldn't get far. My head was bleeding excessively as my strength failed me, and I slumped to the floor.
“No, I can't stay, I need to leave here!” I mumbled running away from the scene, but I froze when I heard someone's footsteps.
I thought it was Dell or Sharon, but I relaxed as the person walked past me without saying a word. I couldn't let the person leave like that so I decided to ask for help.
“Please…help ….. me!” I pleaded with my quivering voice., and the person's steps halted walking towards me., I could feel a sharp pain in my head, but I couldn't afford to stop.
“Why should I?” The person asked with no warmth in his voice despite my state, but I didn't notice the chills that accompanied his voice.. Maybe the betrayal and pain I was feeling has numbed my sense to notice I might as well be in danger.
I grabbed the person's leg, and I helped myself up, but my legs were wobbly, and I lost my balance, but I felt a strong arm wrapped around my waist, which prevented me from falling.
My eyes were blurry, and I didn't quickly see the face of the person who saved me from falling, but when my vision cleared out, the person's face came into view which shocked me to my bones.
“You..what..are..” I panicked as I sprawled out of his embrace, but I staggered backwards only to be caught by him again.
“Are you trying to run from me? At least do that with a clear head” the cold man said, and my stomach turned churned in fear.
“You!” I gasped, trying to wriggle free, panic rising in my chest.
‘Why him, of all people?’
##Chapter 108Michelle's POV Reassurance“Good morning, darling.” Lucian kissed my neck on the bed. Shirtless, revealing his sexy n*pple and abs. “Morning,” I replied dryly as I stayed in the same position.“Michelle, wake up,” he whispered to me, but I didn't listen. “I brought you breakfast,” he mumbled, but I ignored him.“My love, you are with a child; you don't want to hurt the child, do you?” Lucian mumbled. “Leave me alone. I'm not hungry.“Really? Are you sure you don't want spicy chicken?” He asked stylishly as he opened the tray. The smell of the food hit my nose, and I couldn't resist it. 'Wow!’ My hormones couldn't resist it, even though I wasn't in the mood; my body was yearning for it.“I will just throw it away.” Lucian cleared his throat and wanted to take a step, but he halted when I hugged his thigh. “I will think about it.” “Think? C'mon, babe, you don't need to stress your little brain; I will throw it away, and we will go on a hunger strike together. You know I
Chapter 107IncapableHarry's POV“It's weird,” Elena mumbled beside me with a curious look, but I did everything possible to avoid telling her anything, because she has been trying every means to ask about the situation that happened earlier since we got home. I am too busy to explain the situation to her.“Babe,” she called. “Huh?” I turned to her. “Why are they after her?” She asked slowly. “After whom?” I acted ignorant.“You know what I'm talking about, Harry,” she slapped my arm. “It was just an accident, the driver was probably drunk. C'mon, baby, don't think too much,” I replied with a forced smile.“I'm not thinking too much here, and don't take me for a fool, Harry. What's happening? You all seem like you know what's going on, and you, my husband-to-be, refuse to tell me what the problem is.”“You guys are scaring me,” she hissed angrily. “What are you saying, darling?” I dropped my phone and pulled her closer. “It's her family's struggles. It's personal; that's why I decide
##Chapter106His Mansion Bella's POV “Michelle!” I wanted to follow her, but I was stopped by Darren. “Ella, calm down” he gave me a reassuring look.“Let's go” Darren motioned me to walk, but I couldn't move immediately as the scene I just witnessed kept reappearing in my head. I watched Lucian's car retreating back, thinking of how shocked she would be.“What just happened?” I mumbled, and Darren breath heavily. “Trust me Ella, we will take care of this.” “C'mon, let's leave this place” he held my hand and placed his other hand on my waist to support me while walking.“Okay” I nodded subconsciously as I followed him to the car. The silence inside the car made him worried that he checked up on me almost every second. I reached out to my phone, trying to call Michelle, but Darren was quick to understand my intention. “Ella stop. He will take care of her.”Not too long,We arrived at his mansion and I was confused because we didn't plan on going there, also that was my first time v
##Chapter 105Bring Him AliveLucian's POV The screech of tires ripped through the air, a sound that sent shivers down my spine and froze my blood. I looked up, my heart leaping into my throat as I saw my wife, oblivious to the danger, stepping out into the street. A car, a blur of metal and headlights, hurtled towards her, with terrible intentions.“Michelle?” Time seemed to slow down. I was paralyzed for a split second, my mind screaming at me to act, to move, to do something.“Michelle!” Then, a surge of adrenaline took over, propelling me forward with a force I didn't know I possessed. I lunged, reaching out with all my might, grabbing her arm just as the car wanted to hit her.We tumbled to the pavement, the impact jarring my body. I held her tight, my heart pounding against my ribs. My eyes scanned her face, searching for any sign of injury. “Are you okay, michelle?” I panicked more, seeing how quiet she was. I knew she was probably more shocked than I was.Relief washed over
##Chapter 104 Hit-and-run Michelle's POV. “Oh.” In an embarrassing move, I took a step back and tried to ask for Lucian's support Lucian, but he had already pulled away. 'Snitch!’ I screamed in my head with an awkward smile. “Oh? What if we are actually up to something? He is my boyfriend already!” “And also my boyfriend is not stupid and inconsiderate that would ask for such things here!” I smiled slightly when she yelled at me, knowing that I was merely trying to hide the fact that I was not purposefully accusing the man. I remained silent because I knew she might lose it if she found out that I thought that of her, and she was furious. I muttered, "I am sorry." She reprimanded me, saying, "You should apologize to my boyfriend, not me," and I laughed at her. "You are now becoming more mature." "I apologize, Mr. Stewart, for misinterpreting you." He was embarrassed by the entire situation, but my friend wasn't, so I bowed a little. She learned from me. How could she possibly
##Chapter 103 In Public Place Michelle's POV It's been a week and my husband has been constantly staying home with me. Working from home was cool, but I couldn't help thinking about Sharon's suspicious move. I stood beside the window thinking about the company, and how quiet everything was. “It's disturbing,” I muttered, referring to the silence. Not within the house, but the shareholders are being obedient as well, which was suspicious to Me. My father was still struggling to prove innocent as they kept adjourning the trial. I didn't care to even attend the trials because I knew it would only make me hate him more. I couldn't bring myself to forgive him after everything he did to me. “Wifey?” Lucian hugged me from behind, and kissed my neck softly. “Hubby” I moaned. “Why are they so quiet?” He asked, rubbing my belly softly. “I don't know, hubby. I'm just worried” I mumbled. “Worried? Why are you worried, my queen?” He looked at me. “I can't say, I think some
#Chapter 102Fuvked By The Delivery BoySharon's POVI walked into the mansion with my half-torned dress dragging my feet miserably, as I could believe that I was fuvked for hours only to find out that bastard was a delivery boy trying to impress girls.'I thought he was rich!’ I screamed in my head as I hated myself more. “Sharon, you are back” mom said approaching me. “Did you guys do it?” She asked with a serious look, and the world became a blurry mess of gray, a muted canvas where the vibrancy of life had been drained away. “Say something, Sharon.” Every sound, every touch, felt like a dull ache, a constant reminder of the emptiness within. It was as if I were trapped in a silent film, watching the world go by in black and white, while my own heart was a broken record, stuck on the same melancholic tune. The air itself felt heavy, pressing down on me like a physical weight.“Sharon!” “Leave me alone!” I screamed, not believing what I faced. A little boy fuvked me till day br
##Chapter 101Enemies Are BackMichelle's POV The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the landscape, bathing everything in light. Birds chirp merrily, and a gentle breeze rustles through the leaves, carrying the scent of blooming flowers. Lucian crossed his legs and read the magazines leisurely on the sofa and closed the bed.“It's a beautiful morning” I grunt lazily as I crawled towards him. “Morning baby” he dropped the magazine he was reading. He carried me up, and placed me on his lap.“How was your night?” He asked seductively, reminding me of what we had last night as he rubbed his hand softly on my belly. “Thanks to you.” I giggled, placing my head on his chest. “Are you feeling any pain?” He asked. “No, I'm not feeling pain, I'm still in my first trimester, what’s the rush?” I replied lazily. “Huh? I can't wait to become a father!” He smiled brightly, kissing my belly. “Dad love you so much, grow healthy, don't stress mommy” he said, rubbing my tummy. “You are being an extre
##Chapter 100The BarSharon's POV Late at night,Standing in front of the mirror, I can feel the excitement bubbling inside me. I slide into a sleek black dress that skims my body like a second skin. The fabric is soft and luxurious, and it clings to my curves in all the right places, making me feel both powerful and feminine. The dress has an off-the-shoulder design, exposing my shoulders and cleavage, adding a subtle hint of sensuality.As I twirl in front of the mirror, the hemline dances just above my knees, giving a playful glimpse of my legs. I choose a pair of bold red heels that elevate my stature and add a pop of color to my ensemble. With each step, I can feel the confidence radiating from me, and I know I’m ready to turn heads.“Dell would definitely fall for this” I muttered, as I finished off my look with a touch of smoky eye makeup and a soft, inviting fragrance that lingered in the air. Tonight, I’m not just wearing a dress; I’m embodying a vibe, ready to enchant the
