##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
Chapter 15The Friendly ThreatMichelle's POV Lucian's voice was so loud and it echoed the hallway calling the attention of people inside the dining room.“U-uncle….. hear me out…she- she seduced me!” Dell stuttered, trying to run away, but Lucian was fast and held him down.“Y-you should….. believe me” Dell's shaky voice gave him out. “Of course, why shouldn't I believe you?” Lucian said, and his unsettling smile grew wider.“Yes, uncle I___” Dell was saying, but he couldn't finish his words when Lucian gave him a punch in his left cheek making him bleed.“Ahhh” Dell screamed as he saw blood gushing out his lips. “Why do I keep correcting people today?” He said, taking off his wristwatch. 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. Lucian's gaze was u
##Chapter 16Rooftop MurdererMichelle's POV.I walked behind him thinking of how to apologize, but my mind was still on the chairwoman issue.We got to his study room and I sat down across from him. “I am sorry for being rude earlier, Mr Houston, I was just trying to make our relationship look casual, that's why. 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
##Chapter 17Their First Meeting Lucian's POV.“I…I” she wanted to talk, but stopped, sobbing in my arms. “It's okay” I said, my voice low and calming.My heart arched as she bawled her eyes out, which made me want to destroy her family.“I lived with monsters” she cried, pulling away from me slightly, but I didn't want to let her be apart from me for a moment.“You have me now, everything is fine” I reach out as I cup her face with my hands.She nodded as the hot liquid fell on my hands. 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. Flashback I went for a meeting in a neighborhood, and the conversation wasn't giving me anything I planned,
##Chapter 18Will Make Her Beg Lucian's POV I waited for her for three years, and went back to the neighborhood, but I didn't see her. I tried other times, but it was all in vain, I couldn't find her because I didn't know her name, but seeing her after seven years covered in blood shattered my heart.I couldn't help but be curious about her life even though she didn't recognize me. I couldn't wrap my head around the whole situation.She was about to get married, but got cheated on the night before her wedding. I was angry and sad seeing her in such a position, but I was a little bit glad and happy hearing about her betrayal.The only thing I could think of was to save hee and make her happy. ‘I will make sure to make you smile again’ I mulled in my head, patting her back.I was determined to take anyone that could ruin our relationship out of the world. I want to be the only person she could trust. I stared at her face with emotions as I trailed my finger on her cute sad face.“Miche
##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
##Chapter 20Board Meeting Michelle's POV A week later.It was the board meeting day!Dappled sun shone through the trees, creating mysterious shadows. The blue sky was dotted with fluffy white clouds that drifted lazily in the gentle breeze. The blazing midday sun shone relentlessly on the hikers. The roads shimmered in the heat of the midday sunI was seated in the car with a stiff look, trying to make sure I controlled myself from nervousness, on my way to Whitney's corporation.I looked sideways looking at the struggles of the people trying to make ends meet, and students trying to meet the bus for school.The workers are rushing to work, while shop shutters are opening already. I sighed heavily, but looked at my phone expecting a call from the man that refused to come home or call me for the whole week.I just couldn't stop thinking about his attitude towards me in our last meeting. I thought he was angry at me for resisting him, but I didn't dare to ask him, but I was determine
##Chapter 21Guest Appearance Michelle's POV“Let’s welcome the majority shareholder!” Harry announced with a microphone interrupting the awkward silence in the room.The board members stood up to welcome my presence even though they saw me already.Father was still rooted to his seat, but only a glance from me made the other members look in his direction, and he didn't have any choice but to stand up to respect my presence.I walked to the top seat, as I could feel different gazes on me. I sat down with my legs crossed. My father felt like his whole world was crumbling as he looked at me, but I ignored his gaze.I didn't have the mind to expose them, but I will made them run to the police station and confess.“Start” I ordered, referring to the meeting. “Hmmm…the…” Claudia, my stepmother, was stuttering on the podium, as she looked at me.“I__ will __announce_” she was saying, sweating profusely, but I cut in.“Stop!” I raised my hand. “What is it…….. ma'am?” She asked, trying to co
##Chapter 84The Day With HerLucian's POV We kissed passionately, but it got crazy as she traced her fingers down my trousers. ‘Oh no’ I mulled in my head. I knew Michelle won't keep her promise, and it wasn't yet time to have something that much. I can't afford to put her life in danger because of some desire.“Mich—elle” I breathed as I disengaged from the kiss and wanted to calm her down, but she didn't want to stop as she leaned forward and grabbed the belt, and continued kissing me. “C'mon Michelle……” I stopped her, but she was too stubborn and I didn't want to rough handle her. “Stop it…. Michelle stop!” I finally got her to stop.“Wh—yy?” She asked with her misty eyeballs. “You are still unwell, I can't risk it. You are pregnant and are still unstable. It's your first time and I know it might still be new to you, but we have to be careful…. I'm sorry” I patted her head, as I pulled her into my arms.“I’m ho*ny! I miss you!” She started crying. I knew she understood but she p
##Chapter 83The RatMichelle's POV At the hospital VIP room,Dark took control, as there was a unique blend of serenity and unease. The room is bathed in a soft, melancholy atmosphere. The luxurious furnishings, though inviting, seem almost out of place in this setting. I hated it there, but I shouldn’t be upset. It's a space where the boundaries between comfort and concern blur, making it a place of both rest and reflection.“I just hope he is not angry that much?” I mumbled to myself which was more like a question. I only thought it was right to start working soon because of the effort he put in getting that position back, but I only made him angry. ‘What a wife!’ I thought. ‘I should call him… he can't stay angry at me for that long right? He would at least pity me… that's what I need now!’ I mulled it over, then I reached out to my phone immediately wanting to call him, but then I saw a message on my phone…Message read; “If anything happens to my dad, I will make sure you die
##Chapter 82Shouldn't Be Houston Lucian's POV I sat in my office with a troubled mind then Darren walked in. “Hey buddy!” He said excitedly, and one would easily detect that he just made a huge achievement.“In love?” I asked nonchalantly as I shook my head at his childish behavior. “I am hereby present to you, Bella Vanderbilt’s boyfriend!” he shouted, and my eardrum suffered.“Keep it down dude!” I wasn't in the mood to cheer him up despite his years of being single and heartbroken because of his first love.“Are you not happy for me buddy?” He asked with a frown forming lines on his forehead. “I am happy for you, but I think you are too fast, Darren” I said, remembering that it was only a week after they met.“It doesn't matter, buddy. I will get to know her, and she will be faithful too, she promised to be gentle with my feelings” he blurted like a highschool boy in love with a college student.“Gentle with your feelings? C'mon you should be the one to say that… you are the guy,
##Chapter 81His Baby, His Wife Michelle's POV ‘I don't want to be here!’ I screamed embarrassingly in my head.“What a mood spoiler” I pinched Lucian's thigh, trying to give him a sign, but he was still as clueless as ever. “What did I say wrong?” He looked at me cluelessly, and at that moment I gave up. “Forget it, just shut up for now” I scolded him, before facing the couple with the unrequited romance. I had no idea when, and how it got to the level of them calling each other pet names .“I think you guys might want to have some privacy…. Do you think so?” I stylishly asked, wanting them to leave the room, before Lucian would make the situation worse.“Of course” Bella nodded as she shot my husband a deadly glare. But who am I to blame her? He ruined her moment and made the situation worse.She must've been waiting for the situation for so long ,but clueless husband ruined it. “We can just talk he__” Darren was saying, but Bella cut him off. “Don't worry I won't bite you” but B
##Chapter 80;Are They Dating?!Michelle's POV “She already has a gun!” My husband's voice took over the conversation, dominating the entire room.“And who is Alex?” Darren's voice asked with the hint of jealousy even though he tried to hide it.I cleared my throat and looked at Bella who became muted all of sudden. ‘She will be the end of me!’ I screamed inwardly. ‘I should have shut her up early’ I blamed myself as I bit my lips awkwardly.“Why do you need a gun?” Lucian as he walked closer. “Hmmm—the____” I stammered as I was trying to explain, but he cut in. “Alex must've had a special place in your heart to need that?” Lucian said with his teeth gritted.And I became confused. He didn't sound jealous earlier or was I mistaken? “Huh? Not me! He was Bella's first love, first boyfriend!” I said hurriedly, I sold Bella out to save myself from him.“Sorry__ did I misunderstand you, my love?” My husband hugged me tightly, but the expression on Bella's face got me curious. ‘why is she
##Chapter 79All OverMichelle's POV The evening atmosphere envelops the city in a shroud of mystery and melancholy. As the sun dips below the horizon, casting long shadows across the urban landscape, a sense of quiet descends. The distant hum of traffic fades into the background, replaced by the soft rustle of leaves in the gentle breeze. Lights flicker on, painting the buildings in warm, inviting hues, contrasting with the growing darkness. It's a time when the city's secrets seem to whisper in the wind, and emotions swirl like the mist that rises from the damp streets.“The ex-president of Whitney's corporation has been arrested. He is suspected to be the mastermind behind the kidnapping case that happened recently to the new president, Michelle Harrison, Lucian Houston's wife. Evidence that proves the embezzling of the company funds, and bribery was found in her office, which is a perfect reason that can trigger such an act.”“The case will be followed up after the prosecutor rep
##Chapter 78Making A PlanLucian's POV I left Michelle's room, and it has been cleared that she didn't care about them anymore so I had no reason to hold back.‘I should show that family how powerful I am’ I mulled in my head. I took my phone out of my pocket and dialed James number. “Hello boss” James said from the other end.“It's time to deal with the people in the corporate world.” I uttered, and he understood what I meant right away.“Okay Boss, what do I need to do?” He asked with a determined voice from other end.“James, I need you to go to Michelle's office now,” I ordered as I walked towards the car.“Okay boss” he replied, and hung up the call.Harry already opened the car door for me. “To the prosecution office” I said, and the car zoomed out of the parking lot.After some time, we got to the prosecution office. The prosecution office, in all its grandeur, stood as a fortress of justice, its walls echoing with the solemnity of the law. Within its chambers, the prosecutor
##Chapter 77Asked For His GunMichelle's POV “Shut up!” “Huh?” I was scared, but the voice I heard sounded familiar. I turned on the lamp on the bed stand hurriedly. “Lucian?” I asked, seeing how unstable he was. “Hmmm?” He smiled drunkenly. “What are you doing here? I thought you won't be coming back today” I held his hand. “I thought so too, but I couldn't leave you here all by yourself” he mumbled. “Hmm…. So romantic, you are not as bad as I thought” I giggled. “But why are you so drunk? You rarely get drunk, who are you with?” I asked suspiciously.“An old friend,” he replied slowly. “Old friend? I don't like him or her, right?” I asked, trying to figure out the gender, but he wasn't that smart to catch up.“Yes.” His reply was short, making me more curious. “Is the person a girl?” I asked, knowing he wouldn't even if I gave him signs.“Huh? It's a guy” he replied with a smile. “That's good, I will let this behavior pass… how can you come here in this state?” I teased his nose
##Chapter 76I Am Still The President Of Whitney's Corporation Michelle's POVI was alone inside the VIP room, and it was getting boring with James and Harry. “He really left because I told him to?” I scoffed angrily talking about Lucian.“This is a sign for divorce I guess I picked up my phone and decided to call him, but I stopped when I felt another person's presence in the room.“What are you doing here?” I asked angrily as I looked around the figure at the door. “I figured that your husband is not around, so I decided to take a look myself. You should be dead by now, but you managed to survive. Don't worry, I will soon send you to your mother” Claudia {stepmother} said with an evil smirk playing on her lips. I could see the arrogant smile on her lips. She knew I had nothing against her again because she deleted the video of her having sex with a young guy on the staircase.‘She must think I'm a fool to leave something that crucial?’ I scoffed inwardly, as I remembered how I tol
