Sorry, Mr Houston.

Lucian's POV.

“Hello Boss” Harry's voice could be heard from the other end.

“What's wrong?” I asked stiffly.

“It's a report about your wife's household” he said, from the other end. My corner lips curled up hearing that.

I asked Harry to investigate Whitney's household, and immediately we left the hall. Hearing the report was ready was great because I wished to know the woman I would be sharing my space with better.

I didn't want to interfere without any knowledge of her struggles.

“Good, send it to my email, I will check it soon” I said.

“Okay boss” he replied.

“How is the corporation's stock price?” I asked him, referring to the Harrison corporation which belongs to Daphne's household.

“It fell so much, and we were able to acquire seventy eight percent shares” he reported.

A cunning smirk appeared on my lips, thinking of what to do with the family, but I didn't want to take so much action without her consent because it was her fight.

“Since we bought

    ##Chapter 12Hearing Her StoryLucian’s POV The sun rays streamed through the window, casting a warm glow on the room. The sun's rays danced across the sky, painting the clouds in a warm palette of orange and pink. A beam of sunlight peeked through the branches, casting a golden path on the forest floor.I was in my study room staring at how the sun beautifies the surroundings with the rays.I left the dining room leaving her to finish an unsettled battle on the table.I was still staring at the space blankly then my phone rang.

The vice president of his family business, Stewart corporation. He is the only person I confide in for help, and he is always there for me.“I thought you disappeared,” I said teasingly.“I should be saying that, you are out of your mind! Dude, you got marri

    ##Chapter 14She Is Lucian's Wife!Michelle's POV.The atmosphere became so dark, and the air was so thick and stuffy for one to breathe properly as Lucian shot him a deadly glare.Dell looks so shocked and scared at the same time. “G-good evening, aunt__in-law” Dell said with a quivering voice.He was trying to control his anger, and save his life. He wanted to make eye contact with me, but Lucian took my hand and distracted me from getting immersed in his gaze.His siblings that were looking at us with a scornful gaze waiting to humiliate us were dumbfounded, seeing how Lucian took care of the whole curiosity and ruined their plan immediately we got in.“Who on earth does this?” Sandra Houston, Andrew's step sister, who was known for her obsession over the company said, not being able to hold her anger anymore.I looked sideways, avoiding her gaze, making sure I didn't get involved in the matter which was created by me.“You are surely a sl*t, you’ve been having an affair with his un

And my mind was blank, as I saw him wearing his wrist watch on his knuckles. ‘What is he trying to do?’ I mulled in my head, trying to process his intentions.‘Is he trying to kill him?’ I thought about rushing to stop him, but I was too late because he was already beating Dell.

I won't call you by your name again” I said, waving at him like a baby.But his expression was confusing because he seemed more angry hearing me apologize. ‘Did I say something wrong again?’ I wondered.“I am not here for that” he said, shrugging it off. “Sorry, what do you mean by what you said earlier?” I asked, looking serious.“You are the majority shareholder in your family corporation” he said, looking at me with mixed feelings.“What do you mean by that? I am just a regular worker in the company” I chuckled softly.“Your mother is the real owner of the company and you are her next of kin which means the shares are under your name, Michelle” he explained.“What?” I was

Her tears streamed down her cheeks non-stop. I pulled her into my arm, and hugged her tightly, patting her back softly.“Cry tonight, and be strong tomorrow, I will always make sure to give you anything you request” I whispered to her ear, and pressed a soft kiss on her hair.It has always been her family, she cries almost every time I see her on bridal shower night, and the first day we met.

    ##Chapter 19Throwing Herself At HimMichelle's POV I was ashamed of throwing myself at him, when he didn't even ask for it. I thought he wanted it. ‘Why did he resist me? He took me to his room, put me to bed. He took care of me so well, am I not attractive enough for him?’ I mulled in my head wondering what changed.I felt little, offering him my body because of what he did for me. I knew he would think cheap of me because of how I threw myself at him because of that.“Is this how you throw yourself at men when they help you?” He said with a scornful gaze, and that melt down my respect for him.'Did he judge people that easily?' I thought.I felt embarrassed hearing that from him. “It is in our contract, I am not cheap like you think” I defended myself, trying to control my anger.“Really? But what did you just do? You acted so innocent and naive that night, but you are throwing yourself at me today, what's wrong with you?” He asked with a mocking smirk, playing on his lips.“Mr Luc

I was amazed by her personality and every word that came out of her mouth always made me want her. “Huh” “Obsessed with you? Can I do that? You won't get tired of me?” I asked, wanting to be sure. “Tired of you? I always want you around me” she pouted.“I missed you so much that I always lost my mind. You refused to pick my calls and my messages, I thought you were cheating on me” she blurted.“What? Cheating? I can't do that… you are the only one on my mind everyday” I mumbled. But I didn't have the confidence to visit her everyday because I got dumb by the woman who I almost got married to. She said I was clingy and didn't know how to love a woman properly.Since then I couldn't fall in love because of the heartbreak and the fear of facing the same issue, but I couldn't help it after meeting a carefree lady like Ella.

Its rays pierced through the leaves of the trees, creating a dappled pattern on the ground that danced with the gentle breeze. “They are both not picking their calls?!” Michelle scoffed as she tried her husband's number several times. “How could he abandon me in the morning and still decide to ignore my calls?” She rants.“He abandoned you in the morning? We have been given this kind of treatment for some days now.” I hissed angrily.We both rant and gossip till we lose interest in all the topics and decide to try calling them again.“This kind of treatment is killing me” I mumbled subconsciously. “What? You fell first and fell harder within a few weeks?” Michelle kissed her teeth.“Yeah, just like you got pregnant in a contract marriage” I scoffed at her. “It's different!” She threw the throw pillow at me.“I will pretend to believe it” I

Is he trying to break up with me?” I mumbled angrily, trying his number again. He hasn't been answering his calls properly for three days, and if he picks up he would end the call almost immediately. “I need help” I scoffed, dialing my friend's number.“Hello” Michelle's voice sounds tired and frustrated. “Bestie!” I yelled. “Hey! Why did you scream? Are you trying to damage the eardrum?” She scolded from the other end..“Sorry… I will come to visit you at the hospital today” I said slowly because I haven't properly moved myself since I left the hospital, because Darren sent one of his maids to my house since I refused to go to his mansion.“You don't have to,” Michelle said from the other end. “Wh

Elena has lost control and she already took one of our boys as hostage, trying to escape but I couldn't save her nor could I stop her.I was told to stand guard and make sure nobody gets out which was a hard task for me. I really wanted to go inside the room and calm her down, but I couldn't.“Please Elena” I mumbled beneath my breath, praying that the boys didn't lose control and kill her.I checked my watch while waiting for my boss. Not too long, the two drove in. “Welcome boss,” I said hurriedly. “What's the matter, why are you sweating profusely?” Darren asked worriedly. “Elena… hmmm—she held one of our boys hostage and she is trying to escape” I reported.“What? What did she do?!” Lucian widened his eyes angrily. “I'm sorry, please just calm her down…. I'm sure she meant no harm” I pleaded.“Harry, she passed her boundary.” Darren shook his head. ‘'Death?’ I ponder

Huh?” She asked excitedly. “Yes” I nodded as I patted her head. “Take it off, right now” she started unbuttoning my pajamas. “Huh? No

There's three dead bodies in my room!“What's th—is?” my voice trembled, as I looked at the body lying on the floor lifelessly with holes in their foreheads. That scene alone is traumatizing for me.“They are my boys, and I decided to prank you to see your reaction—and…. And of course you look shocked, I won!” He spouted, but I couldn't move my eyes from the bodies on the floor.I tried to figure out what happened, but I couldn't because the closet door was so thick and I barely hear a word, but I definitely heard ‘Warehouse’ “Babe—” I wanted to walk towards Lucian, but my legs hit the dead body which made me scream. “Ahhhh!” “It's okay baby” he pulled me up and carried me in his arms. “Lucian?” I wrapped my arms around him as I buried my face on his neck.“I'm scared!” “It’s okay, Let's go” he sighed,

    ##Chapter 89Lucian's POV.Oh, I'm Sorry Master.I left the warehouse after checking up on Elena, Harry's girl. She looked so clever as her eyes were filled with determination. I wonder what else she was capable of because that was the first time that I got cornered by anybody. My ego was hurted, because I wouldn't say that I didn't see it coming, but I was surprised that the plan was led by a girl.I zoomed into the hospital parking lot, and entered the VIP elevator. “Oh… fuvk! Flowers!” I jerked up as I ran to my car. I got a flower bouquet for my wife, knowing how angry she would be because I promised not to leave her alone. “I hope I don't get my butt kicked today” I mumbled beneath my breath, doubting the fact that I was the one that made the rules before getting married to her because she was the boss at the moment.“Nobody told me marriage was like this… Darren is so useless….

He bent to my level and a gulp escaped down his throat as a result of him forcing himself to talk.“Regardless, Harry, you know how dangerous it is, right?” Lucian asked as he stared at me with an apologetic look, which only means one thing.“Brother, you are not thinking of kil—” I couldn't finish my words before I started crying again. “I'm sor_” he wanted to apologize, but I didn't let him finish his words. “No, brother, don't be sorry you are not killing her right?” I shook my head vigorously at him. “See Harry you are not putting one the three of us in danger, but our boys are in danger also. If it's about the three of us, I won't even think twice, I would have release her, but Harry—” “No!
