##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 1*Michelle's POV*Bridal Shower Night 1“What the hell is going on here!” My voice trembled with disbelief and fury as I stumbled into the room. The sight before me felt surreal—Dell, the man I was set to marry tomorrow, lay naked on the bed with my step-sister, Sharon. The room seemed to freeze in time as I took in the scene.Dell and Sharon both looked up, their eyes wide with shock, but there was no trace of remorse on their faces. It was as if they had been caught in the middle of an ordinary day, not in the midst of the most intimate betrayal imaginable.“You can see exactly what’s happening, can’t you?” Dell’s voice was cold, his irritation barely masked. “So, why the fuss?”My heart pounded violently in my chest, as though it might burst free from my rib cage. His words felt like a slap in the face, each syllable echoing in my mind as I struggled to keep my sanity intact.I loved him. I had given everything to make this relationship work. And now, on my bridal shower
##Chapter 2Michelle's POV.Bridal Shower Night 2“You?” My eyes widened in shock seeing the man in front of me. ‘'What is he doing here?’ I mulled in my head. The man was someone I never wanted to have an encounter with, the most ruthless and arrogant member of Houston's family. He didn't care about anything concerning his family, he brutally took judgment into his hands regardless of who the person was, even his siblings were no exceptions.His power in the corporate world was well known even by regular workers or civilians. Rumor has it that he was once an underground Boss and still active. And the person was no other than, the illegitimate son of Houston's family, Lucian Houston, the devil itself who cannot be controlled, my fiance's uncle.His blazing green eyes were piercing into mine as I was in a pensive state, but after I realized the position we were in, I jolted out of my thoughts, and jerked up.“Let's go” I mumbled weakly, referring to my waist, he refused to let go.“
##Chapter 3Wedding Day.Michelle's POV.D-Day, it was my wedding day already.“Why were you not in your room?” my friend, Bella, asked worriedly when she saw me going into my room with the heavy bandage on my head.“What happened!” she screamed, and her voice echoed in the hotel hallway.“What's wrong with your head? Why are your clothes stained with blood? Who did this to you?” She panicked.“Calm down, Bell,” I said. “Calm down? You really think I can do that after seeing you like this?” “Let's go inside.” I pulled her into my hotel room. “What’s going on Michelle?” She asked impatiently, checking my head.“I fell, and I was taken to the hospital. I am fine now” I lied, knowing Bella wouldn't stay calm if I told her about the incident. She would probably go berserk and make her family lose a lot of business deals. Her anger cannot be suppressed by a super power and I wasn't ready for such action that morning. “What? You should have called me, I was worried all night, I tried your

##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
