##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 22Non Brutal DayMichelle's POV The murmur grew louder turning into noise. My eyes were still glued on Lucian as I swallowed nervously looking at him. But then I got to realize how handsome he was looking at him From such a direction.‘His jawline is smooth! How could he maintain this lip color?!’ I screamed in my head as I scrutinized his face with my eyes.“Oh” I muttered, unconsciously. “Do you wish to remain like this Mrs Houston?” Lucian asked with a naughty smirk playing on his lips, referring to the position we were.‘How can you be so stupid Michelle?’ I gave myself a mental slap as I jerked up, I knew I would see a thousand pictures of that position. “Thank you” I mumbled embarrassingly.“You shouldn't be this clumsy in public,” he replied in a low tone. “I was not clumsy, they pushed me, I didn't know they were going to be here” I tried to defend myself in a low voice. “It's predicted though” he replied, making me angry. ‘Can he just let me breathe for a while?’
##Chapter 23Acting CuteMichelle's POV.I looked at him like some crazy guy who lost some useful screws in his head.“W-why are you laughing?” I managed to talk, and my eyes were still fixed on him.“Drive faster” was the word that came out of his mouth.I was shocked and confused at the same time. “We should get more of that talk at home” he mumbled with a cold smirk.‘I know this feeling!’ I screamed in my head. I knew that would not end well if we got how so I decided to clear the air before then.‘He is older anyway, acting cute will soften his mood’ I mulled in my head not knowing it was just a way to ruin myself.“Mr Houston” I reached out to his hands cutely, he looked at me with a shocked and questioning gaze.“What are you doing __” he was saying, but I cut in. “You look cool earlier, you are truly my husband, Lucian Houston, I respect you” I pouted, and even the driver almost threw up at my awful act.I am not used to being cute even though I felt embarrassed doing that, but
Chapter 24Making Her Fall In LoveLucian's POV.She entered the room and her eyes widened in shock. “What?” “Welcome” I said stiffly, not knowing how to act merry.I planned to throw a little party for her which wasn't my idea, but Darren's ideal.Two days before the board meeting day.I sat in my office signing some documents, but then my phone rang all of a sudden making me lose focus on work.I picked up my phone, checking the caller identity, and it turned out to be Darren, my best friend.“Hello” I said, immediately I picked the call. “Yo! I am back!” Darren's voice could be heard from the other end, and I could tell how excited he was. “Welcome” I said lazily. “What? Just like that?” Darren scoffed from the other end. “What do you want me to say?” I shook my head at his dramatic ways.“We should meet up, I can't wait to hear your excuse for getting married in such a way” he blurted from the other end.“Really? You don't need that” I shrugged my shoulders, forgetting that he ca
##Chapter 25Are You My Husband?Michelle's POVI was still surprised as I tried to suppress my laughter. “What is this?” I asked.I haven't processed the fact that Lucian was still in a funny position. He was angry some moments ago, and now he was inside the funny room with his arm widely open.‘What is happening here?’ I mulled in my head, hoping that nothing was wrong. “I-I…” he stuttered then stopped talking. I walked further inside the room, looking around the room that was decorated with pink, and pink balloons. ‘Why did he do this?’ I thought, and wanted to figure out why he asked me in.‘But how did he get this much pink teddy?’ I thought, looking at tbe absurd decorations. ‘Is he trying to impress his niece?’ I wondered, then remembered that he didn't have a good relationship with his family.“Did he have a secret baby? What was I expecting? He is almost forty, he will surely have hidden kids in the countryside?’ I pictured a crazy lifestyle for him.‘He did well hiding his k
Chapter 26Feeling Reassured Michelle's POV He blinked as he looked at me. ‘Definitely this is not Lucian!’ I screamed in my head as I made eye contact with him.“Why are you asking?” Lucian asked as he was going back to his old self. “Just trying to be sure,” I muttered. “Are you not sure before?” He asked. Then boom! I didn't know I walked into a trap I created myself.He switched our position and pinned me to the bed. “I should be myself, right?” He asked, leaning closer to me.‘This is the time to run!’ I screamed in my head as I felt how hard his little junior was. “Mr Houston!” I screamed as I jerked up, pushing him away.“I don't care if you have a child or anything else, but trust me I won't tell anyone about it” I spouted. “I really don't have a child! Why did you even believe that?” He sat up, and looked at me.“I am sorry, but it actually makes sense” I cleared my throat, as he shot me a deadly glare.“Let's forget about that for now” he said with his teeth gritted.“Oh…
##Chapter 27Saving Her Life, Throwing Her PrideMichelle's POV The room's atmosphere became hot and I could barely breathe. Not for any reason, but the fear of losing my life. Why did I do such a thing?My eyes were still widened in shock at my own action. I could really maintain my position as Lucian's wife, why did I have to do something so dangerous?“W-what did I do ….wrong?” Lucian asked, feeling his cheeks. “I…” I was short of words, and I knew there was nothing I could say to justify that crazy act.‘Michelle save yourself!’ I screamed in my head and swallowed nervously. ‘What do I do? Michelle thinks! Do something!’ I chanted in my head.‘The best thing is to be defenseless now, Michelle!’ I mulled in my head, trying to make use of quotes I always read even though I barely master them.“I deserve to die!” I exclaimed as I kneel down with my two hands up, and my eyes closed.‘This should work, he won't kill his wife, right? Even if he is a Mafia Lord, he will give me a second
##Chapter 95Dad? Mom?Darren's POV“What?” I widened my eyes in surprise, I didn't expect that response from her. 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. I didn't care about the age gap, and was willing t
##Chapter 94Be Obsessed With Me Bella's POV The mid-day sun hung high in the sky, casting a golden glow that bathed the landscape in warmth. 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
##Chapter 93He's Cheating Bella's POV “It's morning again!” I giggled as the sun poured into the room creating the greatest atmosphere.I picked up my phone with a smile, trying to dial my boyfriend's number, but he didn't pick up the call after several tries.“Why is he not picking up? 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
##Chapter 92His decision Harry's POV I breathed heavily as I tried to control my emotions in front of the room. 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
##Chapter 91Lucian's POV Mrs Foster The sun rays poured 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.“Good morning, baby” I kissed Michelle on her forehead. “Lucian?” She grunt lazily, not wanting to open her eyes. “Have your breakfast” I whispered to her ear.“I don't want to” she shook her head and continued sleeping. “C'mon baby” I patted her hips, trying to persuade her. “I'm not hungry” she hissed, and I couldn't figure out maybe she was angry or she just didn't want to eat.“What about our babies, you have to be careful, and eat for them.” “I don't feel like eating though” she mumbled, rubbing her eyes with her tiny finger. “Don't worry I will eat with you….. hmmm, shirtless” I blushed saying that.I couldn't believe I said that. “Really? Huh?” She asked excitedly. “Yes” I nodded as I patted her head. “Take it off, right now” she started unbuttoning my pajamas. “Huh? No
##Chapter 90Michelle's POV My Husband Is A Bad Liar“Baby! It's a prank!” He said with a forced smile on his lips, which I could easily tell that he was hiding something, I mean…. 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…. How could he not get married before me?” I hissed as I entered the VIP room my wife was in. As usu
##Chapter 88Harry's POV.Hypnotizing The room fell silent as Lucian sighs. 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! She can't die, Lucian!” I screamed, crying already. “Come little bro” Darren pulled me up, and smiled. “I have an idea” Darren blurted, which renewed my hope because we all know how cunning he could be. “What is
##Chapter 87Harry's POV Odd Meeting “Yes boss, I will inform Mr. Myers—” he was talking but I caught him off. “Don't! Don't do anything, don't call anyone, just take the cargos and bring the person to me!” I blurted.“What? We need to know if we are to kill them instantly or keep them alive, we can't take them to the warehouse without Mr. Myers order it's dan—” “I will take care of it! Just do as I say, I am the boss when he's not available so listen to me!” I yelled angrily.“Okay Boss, but what should we do about the cat? here, should we throw her into the Ocean, she's kind of troublesome” he said jokingly but he meant it.“If you touch any of them without my permission, I swear I will kill you myself!” I fired, and rushed towards my car. The girl was Elena, my first love actually, we were schoolmates and she was nice to me out of the rude kids in school from then we became friends I was a year her senior in school so I tried to maintain our friendship as her big brother even t
