##Chapter 49Please GoLucian's POVI left the mansion angrily and my mind wasn't at rest. The more I remember the picture, the more my heart burned with rage. The joy on her face. ‘She smiled so brightly, she looked so excited. Her smile was unique in’ I couldn't stop mumbling in my head.“Drive fast!” I breathed out angrily, and Harry swallowed hard. 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. Every glance, every word exchanged, stoked the flames of my envy and wrath. My jaw clenched, muscles taut with the strain of conflicting feelings. In that moment, I stood at the crossroads of rage and envy, a turbulent storm of emotions raging within me, blurring the line between
##Chapter 50Cooking For Hubby Michelle's POV I couldn't stop thinking about how I should face him at home. 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?
##Chapter 51An Inside Michelle's POV“Harry?” I mumbled as I picked the call.“Hello” I said, waiting for him to talk from the other end because I wasn't expecting any calls from him, and I was disappointed because it wasn't Lucian.“Good evening ma'am” he greeted from the other end.“Evening” I responded with a questioning tone. “Mr Houston told me to give you a message” he said with a reluctant voice.My heart pounded not knowing what that could be. “What is it?” “He won't be coming home tonight, and for some days as well” Harry reported politely.My heart tightened as I swallowed my saliva because of my parched throat. 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
##Chapter 53Believing Him Michelle's POV‘I don't want to be here!’ “He asked me to take proper care of you, he still c__” he was trying to defend him, but I stopped him. “I don't want to hear anything about him tonight” I said as I walked out of him and I wanted to go to the hall.I wished he was there to link arms with me. 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
##Chapter 54Please Leave!Michelle's POV.“Let go of my wife!” Lucian's roared, making me freeze for a moment.His gaze was burning with intensity as his eyes were fixed on my arm which Dell was holding. He shot Dell a glare and he let go of my arm without thinking twice. His gaze fell on me which held no warmth or affection. I could only see anger, and disappointment.‘How long has he been standing there?’ I couldn't stop asking myself such a question.I didn't know what to say, how to defend myself. I have been looking for a way to get close to him. I wanted to clear the misunderstanding between us, but the situation says otherwise.He saw me with my Ex again, and alone holding my hand. How am I supposed to explain myself?I stuttered, not knowing what to say. “Lu- Lucian__”“Get out of this place!” He fired, looking at Dell with an intent murderous gaze.“Oh__” Dell ran out of the garden immediately, making sure he avoided his gaze.I stood there looking at Lucian as my heart beat
##Chapter 55Making Up With HubbyMichelle's POV.“Put me down Lucian!” I screamed as I swung my legs angrily. He carried me out of his room, but I stubbornly refused to let him go.He was stronger so I didn't last long. “Don't try to act smart, I might do something worse to you if you step into this room again!” He flared when I tried to follow him in.“You think you are perfect, huh?” I scoffed at him, and that made him turn around. I thought that was a great opportunity to settle things, but his gaze said otherwise.I wasn't expecting that return. “What did you just say?” I stuttered, trying to figure out what to say. “Lu-lu.” I was scared to death.‘What if he gets more angry?’ I pondered. “I made a mistake. I am sorry” I mumbled, wanting to settle things quietly. “A mistake? You call that a mistake, Michelle?” he sneered at me. “Of course, you know I don't have anything to do with Dell again, it was just a coincidence” I nodded at him, giving him an honest explanation.“A coinci
##Chapter 56Cheating Wife, Mrs President Michelle's POV “What's wrong? Did something happen?” Lucian held me, trying to calm me down even though he was clueless about what I heard. He collected my phone, because I was still in shock and couldn't say a word. “What!” He gasped as he saw the news.The picture of me and Dell hugging in the garden was all over the internet. I knew who did it immediately when I saw the article.‘Sharon went too far, this time!’ I thought with violence as I burned with anger. I stood up and saw Lucian making some calls about bringing all the articles down which would possibly be taken care of because of his PR team.But I still wasn't satisfied with that, ‘I will make them pay! I still haven't done anything yet… I will make you all crawl at my feet and spell my name with blood and tears!’ more rage ran through my body and I wanted to leave the run, but a large palm was wrapped around my wrist stopping me from moving.“Don't make a rash move” he mumbled, h
##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
