##Chapter 28Hunger Strike Michelle's POV I freeze on the spot as I hear his voice behind me. ‘It can't be him! He shouldn't be!’ I screamed in my head as I turned around slowly.‘What is he doing here?’ I mulled in my head blaming his bad timing as he switched on the light.‘How could you do this to me, Michelle?’ I said inwardly, referring to myself as a third person.“Good morning” I waved at him embarrassingly. “Morning? It's not morning yet” he chuckled softly, but his expression was still stiff.“Oh… that's right” I nodded, not raising my head up. “You didn't show up for dinner” he said, which was more like a question.‘Did he forget about the slap?’ I pondered because of his calm and indifferent look.‘That is great, it works out for me well’ I giggled inwardly.“Yes…. I slept off” I said slowly. “Alright… I will get the chefs for you. You should be properly and healthy” he said, taking out his phone from his pocket.“You don't have to” I stopped him. “Why?” He asked.“I am no
##Chapter 29A Real Noble Michelle's POV.I couldn't believe my eyes as our car stopped in front of a psychiatric hospital.‘What the heck is going on here?’ I mulled in my head as I widened my eyes. “Lucian is out of his mind!” I yelled, and the driver jerked up, even I couldn't believe that I said that. ‘I feel so frustrated’ I thought, and looked at the driver, making him feel intimidated.“Ma'am?” The driver said with fear in his voice. “What am I doing here?” I asked angrily. “Mr Houston said… you have an appointment…. here” he stuttered.“An appointment? Really?” I asked with my teeth gritted, and the driver nodded at me. “haha, Mr Houston can be so surprising. Let's go” I said with a fake smile which was obvious.I walked out of the car and I gave the driver a questioning look, making him take the lead. “This way, ma'am” he said, and I walked behind him.The whole building was so quiet and I suspected that only people of high standards would go to that hospital, and even the w
##Chapter 30Advice From My Friend Lucian's POV In the early hours of the day, the atmosphere was quiet, and the streets were sparsely populated. The soft light of the rising sun was casting long shadows, creating a peaceful ambiance.The sound of leaves rustling gently in the trees could be heard, and the chirping of birds greeting the morning, a few distant sounds of a few early risers starting their day echoed on the street.There is a sense of stillness and calmness that envelops the landscape before the hustle and bustle of daily life begins.The air was crisp and fresh, carrying it with the scent of dew on the grass or flowers in bloom. Shop shutters will still be closed, and the city's usual cacophony of traffic and activity has not yet fully commenced.I stood up from my chair, and left my study room. I didn't leave my study room till the night ran out.My face looked stressed, but it was a big deal to me. I went to take my bath and got dressed.I always leave the mansion be
##Chapter 31Ego Check Michelle's POV I sat patiently across from the doctor and we both stared at each other, waiting for my dear husband's arrival. Our eyes were filled with determination, and a crazy smirk was laced on my lips as I remembered what I requested her to do.Few minutes ago,“Tell him to come down here, that I am throwing a tantrum,” I whispered, and she widened her eyes, looking at me like some crazy woman.“I can't do that when you are perfectly fine” she shook her head at me, trying to act like a professional. “Why can't you? I might end up destroying the entire place if you don't” I said, with a cunning smirk.“What? But___” she was saying, but I cut in. “I will make sure this doesn't affect your career” I said, as I scrutinized her with my eyes.I knew she was a career woman just by looking. She was at work that early to attend to me impromptu. She is probably married with kids, but still meets up with the appointment even though she wasn't aware before, and with
##Chapter 32Teach Me How to Be Gentle.Lucian's POV I was so scared when I received the call from the therapist. I left the meeting without thinking and that made all the board of directors shocked.I never miss such meetings especially when I just acquired that amount of shares, thinking of partnering with Whitney's corporation to help her with the management.I panicked till I reached the hospital, and I rushed towards the room only to find her perfectly okay. I wanted to get angry, but seeing her alive and healthy was enough to soften my heart.I asked the doctor, trying to confirm that she was fine, while I failed to notice her angry face. I was more shocked with her next move, telling the doctor to excuse us, while I was confused. ‘Why did she fake?’ I thought, feeling with her actions.She walked closer to me, and I was forced to ask her why she was doing that, but her reaction made me dumbfounded as I blamed myself.‘She didn't like it!’ I mulled in my head, remembering that
##Chapter 33President's Office Michelle's POV Lucian's words and requests were still confusing to me. ‘Teach him?’ I mulled in my head. But I still foolishly stood there and enjoyed the kiss. I am so ashamed of myself for wanting more.The atmosphere inside the car was so quiet and was so awkward even for me. When he asked about the appointment we have, I was hoping for a great conversation, but it failed..After some time, we got to Whitney's company and I became nervous. That was the first time I will officially report to the position. I was grateful that Lucian was around, I swallowed nervously as I looked at the tall building in front me, but then I figured something out, and I decided to take the lobby instead of the basement. I wanted to make a grand entrance, and make sure nobody dared to disrespect me. Also, I wanted to make it to some articles with Lucian. It's been so long since I saw Dell, my Ex-fiance. I wanted to bother him and his dirty girlfriend a little bit.“We a
##Chapter 34Financial CrimesMichelle's POV “President?” The lady widened her eyes in shock and I smirked at her stupidity.“Mr Taylor?” I smiled mockingly at the lady in front of me. She turned out to be the vice president's daughter. I was a little bit surprised because I thought her father would be the country's president.“Ma'am, I-I am … sorry” he said with a shaky voice, and his daughter's face was as good as the ghost.“Sorry? Why should you be sorry?” I asked, acting clueless of the situation. “I-I…” he wanted to talk, but he couldn't finish his words.“Probably because you are power drunk? So as your daughter. You oppress people in a company that is not even yours!” I flared.“You!” I faced his daughter, and she jerked up. “What's your name?” I asked angrily. “Cindy” she said in a low tone because she was very embarrassed. “Cindy? Which department?” I asked, and she couldn't answer. “Wow! You don't even work here, so you come to this company and boss people around like it'
##Chapter 35Their DoomSharon's POV“This can't be!” I screamed, not believing my ears. Michelle making my dad leave his office is totally out of it.How could she? I didn't expect that from her. She used to be dumb and obedient, but she was going beyond everyone's expectations.‘I won't let her get away with this!’ I screamed inwardly.“I am surprised, that crazy girl is becoming something else” my mom said angrily.“She must be out of her mind because of Lucian's support!” I exclaimed, knowing he was her backbone.“That's insane! How could you even make such a mistake of letting her catch you with that bastard!” Mom yelled at me. “I didn't know she would be there, I didn't know how she got the information” I explained, trying to make sure I didn't get blamed for that.“What? You don't know she will be there? You can't wait for just a day, Sharon! Just a night! You let your horniness get in the way!” She yelled.Mom knew about the affair between me and Dell. I intentionally approach
##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
##Chapter 75I Did Nothing WrongLucian's POV.I wore my trousers with great speed. ‘How could I forget to lock the door?’ I thought embarrassingly as I reached out for my shirt beside Michelle, but then the door slid open.‘What the heck!’ I screamed in my head not knowing how to face the embarrassment I felt Michelle definitely complicating the situation.“Bos__” Harry and James widened their eyes as they entered the room looking at the sight in front of them. “What's going on here?!” Harry screamed innocently, which he wasn't, and James shook his head at me disappointedly.“Oh…” Michelle hummed with a sad look, and someone could think she was being maltreated at the moment. “I am disappointed in you, Boss,” Harry hissed.“You are definitely disturbing her being around and this? You zip is still undone” James sighed, and I zipped up my trousers immediately.The two of them are like my little brother so we are always casual towards each other outside of our working space. “I didn't do
##Chapter 74Husband StripMichelle's POV “C’mon boy!” I tickled him because he refused to let go of his shirt. “I am not going to harm you” I mumbled with a naughty smile. “What are you trying to do? You are not healed, Michelle” he cautioned me, and I winked at him cunningly. “What are you expecting?” I grinned.“What do you want me to expect, you are fuvking trying to unzip my trousers here. Are you a pervert” he looked at me like some horny crazy woman.“You are thinking too much, Mr Houston. That's not what I am trying to do” I laughed at him, and he looked confused at the moment. “What are you trying to do then?” He asked. “I am just trying to see you naked, that's all. Come here” I mumbled, trying to unzip his trousers, but he slapped my hand away.“You want to see me naked? Here” He asked with an unbelievable look. “Yes” I giggled. “Did you perhaps hit your head in that room? You can tell me anything” he said looking at me trying to figure out what was going on in my head.
##Chapter 73Murder Not Suicide Lucian's POV “Shouldn't have said those things in there” I said coldly looking at the old man. “Why?”“My wife is still in shock and pregnant. You don't want to irritate her with these things” I said. “Okay… it seems you are more crazy about her than I expected” he scoffed at me. “Mind your business.” “So, who did it?” He asked, with the hint of hope in his gaze. I was sure he knew his kids would be involved. “I am not sure about that yet” I lied. For some reason I don't want to hurt his feelings at that moment. “If you are going to make me a chief mourner, tell me now!” He fired. “Don't waste your energy old man” I said nonchalantly, wanting to leave the hallway. “No matter what happens, don't think of killing those people. They are your siblings!” He yelled, and the last words irked me.“Siblings? You are trying to persuade me not to kill them? I was never part of you guys! I almost get killed years ago! I got kidnapped and nobody! I mean not eve
