##Chapter 45

Testing Him

Lucian's POV

I was still clueless about the reason for her mood swing. I shrugged it off and concentrated on the paperwork in front of me.

My phone vibrated distracting me from my work, and that made me a little bit angry.

But when I saw the caller’s identity I narrowed my gaze as I picked up the call.

He was supposed to take my wife home, seeing him call me curious and worried.

“Hello” I said slowly, waiting to hear the sound of the environment trying to be sure about my wife's safety.

“Hello Boss” James sounded nervous from the other end.

“What's wrong?” I asked, hearing footsteps and I could say he was in a crowded place.

‘They should be home by now, what happened?’ I mulled in my head.

“Ma'am__” James paused like something bad happened and he was holding himself back to talk. My heart was filled with impatience and I wanted to rush towards them at that moment.

“Speak James!” I exclaimed, my voice was holding a lot of worry, but was still stiff and cold.

I was tired of the torture and I wanted to get it over.We are at the mansion already and I was still tipsy. I walked drunkenly towards the mansion, the world spins a little slower, thoughts become a haze. I staggered and almost fell, but Lucian was swift and held my waist preventing me from falling.Swirling like a tempest in the soul. My heart beats to the rhythm of a tipsy waltz, and inhibitions dissolve like sugar in warm tea. I stared at him as if the barriers holding back feelings crumble, and every sentiment, be it joy or sorrow, finds its way to the surface.The room seems to sway in tune with the tipsy heart, and words, usually guarded, slip out like secrets whispered to the night. I am loving him, but I don't want to it can't be help. I had to fight for my way and accept my heart. The betrayal in my heart softened like I saw something more

He sat on the bed with me and placed my head on his chest. Wrapped his arms around me, the moment we shared last night made my cheeks flushed.“I will help you bathe, do you still want to go to work?” He asked, with a naughty smile on his lips. He offered to help me bath, and I felt shy I knew he was being caring, but that was the first time and it made me feel like a baby.“No, I have to, I can't miss work, I have a lot of things to take care of” I mumbled in his arms. It felt so warm like the other night. “Okay then, let's make it quick” he winked at me, and the only thing on my mind was sex.And that made me blush. “What are you thinking?” He asked, and I blinked innocently at him. “Come on. You need to rest, and I am tired as well” I slapped his hands cutely, but his expression was so confusing that I though

He was cool and cheerful when he was talking to me earlier, but seeing him in that kind of state made me want to run away.I opened the document in a hurry , curious what was inside. “The project proposal? Isn't this the one your company has been working on for months?” I asked because I saw it on his desk before.He then replied, his voice evident disbelief like I was caught doing something wrong, “So you recognize it.”I mumbled out the word. “Of course, why is it here? You are supposed to submit it tomorrow, you can't handle it like this.” “Yes, but too bad someone else submitted it already… what to do?” His voice was carrying a lot of anger but was still firm. “What? You shouldn't be that that fast… you like to keep to your promise I guess.” I replied carelessly, trying to caress the paper, but it was snatched away from me angrily.“You still want to act ignorant.. huh?” H

Not too long after we left the mansion we got to the company and I went to my office with fury. My heart pounded with a furious rhythm, a tempest of emotions swirling within me. My eyes, usually blazing green eyes, now glinted with a fiery intensity. Jealousy and anger waged a relentless battle in my soul, each emotion fueling the other in a dangerous dance.

Not too long after I got to the office Sharon came into my office looking around like she will soon own the position and that made me scoff.‘What a joke’ I chuckled softly, seeing her foolish behavior.“Good morning, big sis” she said rather with a mocking smirk.“I am not your sister b*tch!” “What's wrong with you sis? You were not like this yesterday. We ate together and got along so well” she said, passing on great information to me, which I understood.“Of course we got along so well, but what to do? I want to stab you right now” I raised my brows angrily.“Oh…. Calm down sis, you seem to be having a bad day…. Is everything fine at home?” She smirked cunningly.“Why won't it be? You might think some useless pictures can make you have him? Haha…you must are being delusional. Lucian can't leave me regardless of what you do.”“That is just the power of his love for me. Huh?

I couldn't take in the message well, but I couldn't get angry at him. He was just following orders.I stuttered trying to sound sad, but I was so bad at hiding it. “O-okay.” I hung up the call immediately as I couldn't continue to hear the information. “He shouldn't go this far!” My voice quivered as I roared.I dialed his number several times, but he didn't pick

    ##Chapter 52Grand Party Michelle's POV I received the ledger of the staff inside the mansion from James and a particular one was suspicious.She joined the maids after our marriage and her bio-data didn't match. The hometown on her profile did not exist in the country and her nationality was weird because her name was for Asians.“Have you employed any Asian recently?” I asked, but James shook his head. “Why are you asking, ma'am?” He looked puzzled.“She is Rachael Choi, and her other name is Yu’er. Is this not confusing?” I was confused because it doesn't correlate.“It sounds like the names are for different countries, but her face doesn't seem like an Asian” James said with a careless shrug, but then realization hit him when I looked at him.“What?” He widened his eyes. “I think we should act fast ma'am” he suggested. “Call the guards to stop anybody from leaving even the flies are not permitted to leave the house until I get there” I ordered.He rushed out and made the call, wh

I will be facing a lot of crowds but he wasn't there “Ma'am,” James mumbled, helping me walk down the stairs. I was dressed in a red strapless long gown with a revealing cleavage. Some parts of my chest were exposed and that made the dress hot. The lower part was a see through and only a short was used to cover my thigh, which has a slit cut on the left side. I made a great entrance into the hall showing off the necklace Lucian sent me. I was hopeful because he sent me a new dress and accessories that day.I was so sure that he would make it. My heels were doing a perfect job making the undeniable sound, as my hair danced as I walked down the stairs getting cl

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.

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?

    ##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

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.

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.

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?

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
