##Chapter 31

Ego 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.

    ##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.

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

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'

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?

These can't be found in my office” Mom shook her head vigorously. “She won't target you that soon, she needs people in the company. She won't fish all of us out, at least not yet” Dad said, and mom reasoned.“What can we do to stop that from happening?” Mom asked, and Dad shook his head at her.“For now… she would be untouchable because of Lucian, and she didn't have a dirty past, she can't be hunted that easily” Dad said, then realization hits me.“I have a way,” I said, interrupting the two. Mom gave me a cold glare, but dad was willing to hear me out.“What is that?” Dad asked. “Coming from someone that put us in trouble?” She scoffed at me angrily.“Trust me o

I really didn't know how to act. It felt different from the ones we shared. The fact that she did it when she said Dell made me feel bothered.‘What do I do? I think she is still in love with him,’ I mulled in my head.“Knock knock” someone knocked on my door jotting out of my thoughts.“Come in” I said and the door creaked open. I raised my head up to see the person. “Hey buddy” Darren came in looking cheerful. “Hi” I said nonchalantly as I looked away from him angrily. “What's up with the mood?” He asked to take his seat.“Really? You want me to talk?” I scoffed at him. “What? Did it not work again?” He stood up walking towards my seat. “Is that even a question? You almost made me lose the love of my life because of your stupid advice” I hissed at him.“What? She didn't like it because she is weird! Ev

How could I go to work without notice?“Where are you right now? She told me to ask” James asked. “On my way home of course, where else?” I lied as I rubbed my forehead embarrassingly.“Tell her to get dressed, I will be home soon,” I added.“Alright Boss” he said and I ended the call.

You told me that this is very important” I said hurriedly as I stepped backwards. “Yes, I said that but I said it is also not necessary. I hope you understand the difference” he replied with no warmth in his voice.“Why are you changing your mind?” I asked slowly, trying to catch his gaze. I remembered chatting friendly with him a while ago, but his sudden change of character was shocking to me.‘We were cool with each other this morning, and a few minutes ago was the best. What changed?’ I pondered, looking at him take off his jacket.‘What is he trying to do?’ I thought as I swallowed nervously. “I think we should try to know each other better for tonight as the business we are in” he said, as his gaze trailed my body and a naughty smirk was laced on his lips.

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.

    ##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

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?

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

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

As the sun dips below the horizon, casting long shadows across the urban landscape, a sense of quiet descends.

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?

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.
