##Chapter 72

Quiet Funeral Parlor

Michelle's POV

My eyes widened in disbelief, my jaw slacked with astonishment as if frozen in time. A wave of shock rippled through my body, sending shivers down my spine. I looked at Bella who was as good as dead beside me.

“Old man Houston?” I asked, trying to confirm, my mind raced, trying to grasp the reality of the moment, but it felt as elusive as smoke slipping through my fingers.

“My daughter in-law doesn't recognize me?” He scoffed softly. In that moment, I stood as a statue of incredulity, a monument to the unexpected twist of fate that had left me reeling in stunned silence.

“Bella, right?” Old man Houston said as he faced my friend, but she was too stunned to talk. The great old man Houston recognized her, of course she would be surprised.

“Ye—ss” she stammered, trying to figure out what to say. I've only met with him whenever my husband is around, meeting him in person made me completely scared.

    ##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

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.

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

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 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

As the sun dips below the horizon, casting long shadows across the urban landscape, a sense of quiet descends.

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

I was amazed by her personality and every word that came out of her mouth always made me want her. “Huh” “Obsessed with you? Can I do that? You won't get tired of me?” I asked, wanting to be sure. “Tired of you? I always want you around me” she pouted.“I missed you so much that I always lost my mind. You refused to pick my calls and my messages, I thought you were cheating on me” she blurted.“What? Cheating? I can't do that… you are the only one on my mind everyday” I mumbled. But I didn't have the confidence to visit her everyday because I got dumb by the woman who I almost got married to. She said I was clingy and didn't know how to love a woman properly.Since then I couldn't fall in love because of the heartbreak and the fear of facing the same issue, but I couldn't help it after meeting a carefree lady like Ella.

We have been given this kind of treatment for some days now.” I hissed angrily.We both rant and gossip till we lose interest in all the topics and decide to try calling them again.“This kind of treatment is killing me” I mumbled subconsciously. “What? You fell first and fell harder within a few weeks?” Michelle kissed her teeth.“Yeah, just like you got pregnant in a contract marriage” I scoffed at her. “It's different!” She threw the throw pillow at me.“I will pretend to believe it” I

Is he trying to break up with me?” I mumbled angrily, trying his number again. He hasn't been answering his calls properly for three days, and if he picks up he would end the call almost immediately. “I need help” I scoffed, dialing my friend's number.“Hello” Michelle's voice sounds tired and frustrated. “Bestie!” I yelled. “Hey! Why did you scream? Are you trying to damage the eardrum?” She scolded from the other end..“Sorry… I will come to visit you at the hospital today” I said slowly because I haven't properly moved myself since I left the hospital, because Darren sent one of his maids to my house since I refused to go to his mansion.“You don't have to,” Michelle said from the other end. “Wh

I really wanted to go inside the room and calm her down, but I couldn't.“Please Elena” I mumbled beneath my breath, praying that the boys didn't lose control and kill her.I checked my watch while waiting for my boss. Not too long, the two drove in. “Welcome boss,” I said hurriedly. “What's the matter, why are you sweating profusely?” Darren asked worriedly. “Elena… hmmm—she held one of our boys hostage and she is trying to escape” I reported.“What? What did she do?!” Lucian widened his eyes angrily. “I'm sorry, please just calm her down….

There's three dead bodies in my room!“What's th—is?” my voice trembled, as I looked at the body lying on the floor lifelessly with holes in their foreheads. That scene alone is traumatizing for me.“They are my boys, and I decided to prank you to see your reaction—and…. And of course you look shocked, I won!” He spouted, but I couldn't move my eyes from the bodies on the floor.I tried to figure out what happened, but I couldn't because the closet door was so thick and I barely hear a word, but I definitely heard ‘Warehouse’ “Babe—” I wanted to walk towards Lucian, but my legs hit the dead body which made me scream. “Ahhhh!” “It's okay baby” he pulled me up and carried me in his arms. “Lucian?” I wrapped my arms around him as I buried my face on his neck.“I'm scared!” “It’s okay, Let's go” he sighed,

    ##Chapter 89Lucian's POV.Oh, I'm Sorry Master.I left the warehouse after checking up on Elena, Harry's girl. She looked so clever as her eyes were filled with determination. I wonder what else she was capable of because that was the first time that I got cornered by anybody. My ego was hurted, because I wouldn't say that I didn't see it coming, but I was surprised that the plan was led by a girl.I zoomed into the hospital parking lot, and entered the VIP elevator. “Oh… fuvk! Flowers!” I jerked up as I ran to my car. I got a flower bouquet for my wife, knowing how angry she would be because I promised not to leave her alone. “I hope I don't get my butt kicked today” I mumbled beneath my breath, doubting the fact that I was the one that made the rules before getting married to her because she was the boss at the moment.“Nobody told me marriage was like this… Darren is so useless….
