##Chapter 58

Spicy Food

Lucian's POV

The atmosphere was cool and welcoming. I could feel footsteps coming closer to my doorstep.

Hearing how lovely my department turned within a minute I could tell who it was.

“Hey buddy.” Darren came into my office with a worried face probably thinking that I was angry because of the news.

“What's up?”

“Cool.” He dragged his response observing my mood as fast as he could, but the confused look in his eyes said it all.

“Speak” I mumbled as I raised my head up to look at him.

“Did you see the news?” He asked hurriedly as his curiosity was eating him up. “I did” I replied sharply, making sure he didn't figure out if I was angry or not.

“You should be careful. Your marriage is at stake here ….. you should know this is a setup for Michelle, it was planned” Darren blurted defending Michelle in every way.

“I know” I replied nonchalantly, which made Darren give me a questioning look.

“You did? So how is it with Michelle?” He asked with a serious tone, one

    ##Chapter 59Putting Her In PlaceMichelle's POV I walked towards my office with James behind me, but then I was stopped by the devil I was dying to see. ‘What a grand appearance’ I thought as I smirked at her mockingly. “Michelle!” She marched towards me, and James wanted to block her but I stopped him.“She's no harm…. I can take her” I said, remembering how much I beat her up when we were in highschool even though I was later punished mercilessly by my father mercilessly.She cleared her throat as her eyelashes shook. I knew the memory will still be hunting her, and that made me happy. I couldn't be more proud of myself. ‘I should have beat you more that time’ I mulled in my head with a cunning smile.“Mich___ Mrs President!” She wanted to call my name but I corrected her and she was feeling intimidated already. I guess my aura was matching with my husband's already. She looked so angry when she approached me, but it softened into fear already.“Mrs__ presi..dent?” She stuttered.

    ##Chapter 60The Protest Michelle's POV After some time, working hours were over as the day wanes, the evening atmosphere envelops everything in a cloak of dusky hues and whispered secrets. It's a time when shadows dance, and the air is filled with a sense of transition, a delicate balance between light and darkness. Capturing the evening atmosphere means evoking the subtle shift in emotions, the quiet contemplation that comes with the fading daylight. A transformation sweeps through the atmosphere, painting it with hues of release and liberation. The air hums with a symphony of relief and anticipation, as if each exhale carries away the day's burdens. “It's time to go home” I giggled as I started preparing to leave the office even though it was still early, I wanted to go home to discuss the situation with lucian until that situation started.“Ma'am! There's a problem!” James rushed in as he panicked. “What's the problem? How urgent can it be that you didn't even knock?” I asked,

    ##Chapter 61Waiting For HerMichelle's POV “I don't expect you all to have any knowledge about the new system so I will have my assistant review it for you all.” I signaled James to make the announcement.I told them about the change in the company system, and they all looked, but Mr Dawson had no courage to oppose me, not after I revealed his secret.“We are done, I will take my leave now” I announced, and winked at my stepmother, Claudia before leaving. I just ruined her only hope, Mr Dawson.He is always in charge of her slush funds and money laundering because of his clean crime habit, but I guess I just ruined that belief.“What is the time, James?” I asked tiredly. “It's 1 in the morning, ma'am” he said, and I couldn't hold myself from yelling. “What?! 1am? Why didn't you tell me earlier?” I had a plane with Lucian, I couldn't believe I missed having dinner with him. I had no idea that I took that long setting with those old hags.Not too long my car zoomed into the mansion an

I couldn't stop thinking about what Michelle told me last.“How dare he?” I scoffed angrily as I drove aggressively towards the mansion. I made sure my driver didn't follow me because I wasn't in the mood to have anyone around.“Grrrrrrr” my phone rang. I checked the caller identity and it was Darren. “Hello” I said impatiently. “Okay, what's going on there?” Darren asked from the other end.“Why did you call me this early, Darren?” “I called to confirm something, but where are you driving to this early by yourself. It seems you are angry with your car speed?”“To Houston ancestral mansion.” My reply sounded like I passed a message, but Darren didn't understand. “What! Why?” “I need to sort something out with my family. What else?” I said sarcastically. “Well I better tell them not to open the door for you, because you sound like you are going there to kill someone…. Tell me what happened exactly?” He

    ##Chapter 63A Mail Michelle's POV “I didn't know about this list before, what's wrong? Borrowed money?A private loan? Why is it not recorded?!” I threw the paper at the directors who were calm despite the situation. The company might go bankrupt if care is not taken, but are they still calm? I guess they were that calm because they are not the stakeholders anymore. “ma'am…” James came in with a panicked gaze and that got me curious.“What is it?” I asked with fear of any other bad things befalling the company. “The investors are pulling out their investments for the upcoming project” he reported, and I scoffed.The private loan, and the investment were both on the same day. ‘Seems like someone somewhere is trying to give me some punishment’ I thought as my gaze went straight to Mr Dawson, but he shook his head because he understood what I meant immediately.‘If it's not Mr Dawson, who is it then?’ I pondered in my head as I looked around. Then my gaze fell on my father who was sea

You should be able to sense danger from this mail. The only person that knows about your mother's death is your family, and us, the other person is dead. I doubt someone else knows anything about this” he sighed heavily as he made eye contact with me, seeing how unconvinced I was.“C’mon Lucian, the person might have the evidence to get them arrested for my mother's death!” I said

Is she going to sleep with you tonight?” He asked, and I frowned as I checked my wristwatch. “It's two in the morning. She must have called my phone” I mumbled as I reached out to my phone. “No, missed calls or texts? Is she asleep in the mansion already?”I wondered, and stood up. “I should go home now” I said, taking a step, but Darren stopped me. “What is it now? You can do without me or what?” I teased him.“Call your maids to confirm if she is really home” he suggested. “She is home already,” I said nonchalantly. “No missed calls or texts. She is probably not home.”Darren's words were getting serious, but I ignored it. “She is angry with me because of the argument we had earlier that's probably why” I shrugged it off carelessly.

    ##Chapter 66Dark RoomMichelle's POV In the dimly lit room, shadows danced ominously around the figure bound to a chair. My hands trembled, fingers fidgeting nervously as the darkness enveloped us like a suffocating cloak. The only sound was the eerie creak of the floorboards beneath their feet, echoing through the desolate space.Beads of sweat glistened on my forehead, reflecting the faint light that filtered in from a small, barred window high above. Every breath felt heavy, each heartbeat a drumming reminder of my captivity. The air was thick with uncertainty, a palpable sense of dread that clung to me like a second skin, whispering of unseen dangers lurking just beyond the shadows.“Where are we?” I managed to make a sound in the depths of my mind, a storm brewed, each thunderous pulse a relentless reminder of the agony within. “It hurts” I winced. I clutched my temples, fingers digging into my skull as if trying to halt the tempest raging inside. Waves of pain crashed against

    ##Chapter 84The Day With HerLucian's POV We kissed passionately, but it got crazy as she traced her fingers down my trousers. ‘Oh no’ I mulled in my head. 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

    ##Chapter 82Shouldn't Be Houston Lucian's POV I sat in my office with a troubled mind then Darren walked in. “Hey buddy!” He said excitedly, and one would easily detect that he just made a huge achievement.“In love?” I asked nonchalantly as I shook my head at his childish behavior. “I am hereby present to you, Bella Vanderbilt’s boyfriend!” he shouted, and my eardrum suffered.“Keep it down dude!” I wasn't in the mood to cheer him up despite his years of being single and heartbroken because of his first love.“Are you not happy for me buddy?” He asked with a frown forming lines on his forehead. “I am happy for you, but I think you are too fast, Darren” I said, remembering that it was only a week after they met.“It doesn't matter, buddy. 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? C'mon you should be the one to say that… you are the guy,

    ##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

    ##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

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.

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

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
