##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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 95Dad? Mom?Darren's POV“What?” I widened my eyes in surprise, I didn't expect that response from her. 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. I didn't care about the age gap, and was willing t
##Chapter 94Be Obsessed With Me Bella's POV The mid-day sun hung high in the sky, casting a golden glow that bathed the landscape in warmth. Its rays pierced through the leaves of the trees, creating a dappled pattern on the ground that danced with the gentle breeze. “They are both not picking their calls?!” Michelle scoffed as she tried her husband's number several times. “How could he abandon me in the morning and still decide to ignore my calls?” She rants.“He abandoned you in the morning? 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
##Chapter 93He's Cheating Bella's POV “It's morning again!” I giggled as the sun poured into the room creating the greatest atmosphere.I picked up my phone with a smile, trying to dial my boyfriend's number, but he didn't pick up the call after several tries.“Why is he not picking up? 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
##Chapter 92His decision Harry's POV I breathed heavily as I tried to control my emotions in front of the room. Elena has lost control and she already took one of our boys as hostage, trying to escape but I couldn't save her nor could I stop her.I was told to stand guard and make sure nobody gets out which was a hard task for me. 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…. I'm sure she meant no harm” I pleaded.“Harry, she passed her boundary.” Darren shook his head. ‘'Death?’ I ponder
##Chapter 91Lucian's POV Mrs Foster The sun rays poured through the window, casting a warm glow on the room. The sun's rays danced across the sky, painting the clouds in a warm palette of orange and pink.“Good morning, baby” I kissed Michelle on her forehead. “Lucian?” She grunt lazily, not wanting to open her eyes. “Have your breakfast” I whispered to her ear.“I don't want to” she shook her head and continued sleeping. “C'mon baby” I patted her hips, trying to persuade her. “I'm not hungry” she hissed, and I couldn't figure out maybe she was angry or she just didn't want to eat.“What about our babies, you have to be careful, and eat for them.” “I don't feel like eating though” she mumbled, rubbing her eyes with her tiny finger. “Don't worry I will eat with you….. hmmm, shirtless” I blushed saying that.I couldn't believe I said that. “Really? Huh?” She asked excitedly. “Yes” I nodded as I patted her head. “Take it off, right now” she started unbuttoning my pajamas. “Huh? No
##Chapter 90Michelle's POV My Husband Is A Bad Liar“Baby! It's a prank!” He said with a forced smile on his lips, which I could easily tell that he was hiding something, I mean…. 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…. How could he not get married before me?” I hissed as I entered the VIP room my wife was in. As usu
##Chapter 88Harry's POV.Hypnotizing The room fell silent as Lucian sighs. He bent to my level and a gulp escaped down his throat as a result of him forcing himself to talk.“Regardless, Harry, you know how dangerous it is, right?” Lucian asked as he stared at me with an apologetic look, which only means one thing.“Brother, you are not thinking of kil—” I couldn't finish my words before I started crying again. “I'm sor_” he wanted to apologize, but I didn't let him finish his words. “No, brother, don't be sorry you are not killing her right?” I shook my head vigorously at him. “See Harry you are not putting one the three of us in danger, but our boys are in danger also. If it's about the three of us, I won't even think twice, I would have release her, but Harry—” “No! She can't die, Lucian!” I screamed, crying already. “Come little bro” Darren pulled me up, and smiled. “I have an idea” Darren blurted, which renewed my hope because we all know how cunning he could be. “What is
##Chapter 87Harry's POV Odd Meeting “Yes boss, I will inform Mr. Myers—” he was talking but I caught him off. “Don't! Don't do anything, don't call anyone, just take the cargos and bring the person to me!” I blurted.“What? We need to know if we are to kill them instantly or keep them alive, we can't take them to the warehouse without Mr. Myers order it's dan—” “I will take care of it! Just do as I say, I am the boss when he's not available so listen to me!” I yelled angrily.“Okay Boss, but what should we do about the cat? here, should we throw her into the Ocean, she's kind of troublesome” he said jokingly but he meant it.“If you touch any of them without my permission, I swear I will kill you myself!” I fired, and rushed towards my car. The girl was Elena, my first love actually, we were schoolmates and she was nice to me out of the rude kids in school from then we became friends I was a year her senior in school so I tried to maintain our friendship as her big brother even t
