##Chapter 64The ParkMichelle's POV.“Michelle, no!” “He might actually have the evidence we need, babe,” I tried to reason with him.“And you think this period is a good one?” He scoffed at me. “I know things are rough, but the person might want to help me get rid of them because of this situation.” “Michelle, I will go if you are that curious, okay?Just don't worry about it.” He rubbed my shoulders softly, but I shook my head remembering the instructions. “No, babe, the person asked for me alone” I mumbled.“And I can't afford to be careless with you!Hey, Michelle, don't you dare do anything dangerous. 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
##Chapter 65My Wife In DangerLucian's POV “Her friend’s place?” Darren asked suspiciously. “Yes” I replied nonchalantly. “Wow, and you are this calm?” he scoffed at me.“Michelle won't cheat on me!” I hissed. “I know right, but isn't it late already? 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 67Burning House, It's Over!Lucian’s POV.“Where are you driving to Lucian?” Darren asked confusedly. “I think I have a clue where the sender could be,” I mumbled.“What? Don't tell me…. 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
##Chapter 69He Cried Like A Baby!Michelle's POV ‘Where am I?’ I thought as I opened my eyes slowly everywhere was white and the monitor beeping non stop made me realize where I was. ‘Hospital?’ I hate hospitals. I looked around and I saw men dressed in white coats and nurses in scrubs. ‘I am really in a hospital’ I mulled in my head, without being able to talk, I was checked and taken care of.After some time,“Michelle?” A handsome looking man came in with a weak gaze filled with worries and uncertainty of the future, but his gaze was urging me to hold me. “Who are you?” I asked with a curious gaze, and his gaze changed, his face became white showing how scared he was. “What?” he stammered walking closer to my bed. “Why are you coming closer? Please leave, mister!” I shifted away from him, and his next action surprised me. “Are you crying?” I asked surprisingly. “You shouldn't remember me. I'm a bad husband!” He cried out this time. At that moment I was lost of words. ‘Did he
##Chapter 70Your Mean HusbandMichelle's POV.“I was tempted.. boo hoo” I started crying, and Lucian's cold gaze softened immediately. I knew he couldn't take seeing me crying. “Don't cry, Michelle.If you don't Stop crying I won't forgive you” he mumbled, but I continued sobbing. “How can I stop crying? I am still shocked that they collected my shares. I am literally off from my position in the company, and I am pregnant too. You actually don't care about me” I sobbed, looking at him.“If course I care about you, you are my woman” he held my face between his palms with his face close to mine. “Liar! You just yelled at me, you are definitely angry, don't even try to pretend!” I slapped his hands away, and turned my back at him.“Michelle, look at me” he tapped my waist, but I ignored him. “C’mon don't be rude” he said with a serious tone, and I turned around hearing his voice. He always uses his old man attitude whenever I act stubborn and it always works on me. “I wasn't angry at yo
##Chapter 71A FuneralLucian's POVIn the dimly lit room, I walked into the container warehouse house with my eyes blazed with a fiery intensity, a storm of wrath brewing beneath the surface of my steely gaze. My clenched fists trembled with a lethal fury, each sinew in my body coiled like a viper ready to strike. The air around me crackled with an ominous energy, a foreboding aura that sent shivers down the spines of even the most hardened of my underlings. “Welcome boss!” They chorused with the presence of me and Darren the room became darker. “Where are they?” my voice, usually a velvet whisper, now thundered through the room like a tempest, each word dripping with venomous intent. In that moment, Darren was not just a man; he was a force of nature, a dark and vengeful deity whose wrath knew no bounds. The mere sight of him was enough to make even the bravest souls quiver in fear, for in his eyes burned the promise of swift and merciless retribution.The girls that hover around
##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
