##Chapter 60

The 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

    ##Chapter 62Son Of A Sl*tLucian's POV On my way to Houston's ancestral mansion. 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

You don't think your wife disobeys you right?” He narrowed his eyes on me. “why can't I suspect that?” “You shouldn't think like that….. Michelle has never gone against your wish… I don't think she would do that” he shook his head.“It's her mother's death we are talking about right now. Do you think she would consider my wish? Her eyes were filled with curiosity earlier. She has gotten herself in trouble already and should solve it before it's too late.” I muttered, and dialed Harry's number. “Hello boss.”“Locate my wife's phone too” I ordered with urgency. I totally forgot to ask him about that. “we did that already and the last location her phone was operated was the park. And the sender's address is not from this country. The IP address has been manipulated.” He reported.“Okay…” I h

    ##Chapter 68Who Are You?Lucian's POV “I guess this is just a punishment for all my sins.” I stood hopelessly in front of the operation room I peeped into the surgery room, the air hummed with tension, like a tightly wound spring ready to snap. The harsh glare of the overhead lights cast stark shadows, emphasizing the urgency of the scene. The sound of beeping monitors and hushed voices filled the room, creating a symphony of controlled chaos. Nurses bustled around, their movements precise yet urgent, like dancers in a macabre ballet. The surgeon's hands moved with practiced precision, cutting through flesh with a steady determination that belied the turmoil within. Amidst the organized pandemonium, my wife lay still, her silent figure in the midst of the storm fighting for her life, her fate hanging in the balance like a delicate thread waiting to be severed.I regretted making her who she was because it only ended her in trouble. I just wanted my wife to be happy and confident, b

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 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.

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.
