Michelle's POV

Because I Am Mrs Houston!

The car door was open, but it took me a few minutes to get down.

But after some contemplating, I got down from the car, and walked inside the mansion with my head up.

The mansion I got maltreated, and abused for years. I was going inside to take my things out.

I got into the living room that brings nothing, but sad memories of me being threatened or accused of something I didn't do.

I hated every single bit of that house's memories except for my mother's own, which I barely remember.

'I actually lived in misery' I mulled in my head, knowing there won't be a way back when I start with them.

I walked towards the stairs attempting to go upstairs, but then I halted my steps, hearing a familiar voice behind me.

“How dare you come back here?” Claudia, my stepmother yelled behind me, thinking I was still my old self that would stay still and get abused and embarrassed.

Every bit of their wrong did towards me rushed my mind filling it my he

    #Chapter 10#Watch MeMichelle's POV “Don't annoy me, Mrs Whitney” I said, making sure not to call her mother because she lost that regard since my wedding day.“How dare you!” My father roared at me, but his anger reduced seeing that my expression was as calm as a storm.“I am not here to amend anything with you guys, I am simply here to erase my trace from this place, just like my mother” I declared.My father couldn't say anything after hearing me talk, he was still shocked at my boldness, bringing up my mother because they always use her as my weakness, but now?I grew past it already. Just like Lucian said on our first meeting; ‘If you stay in here like a coward and do nothing they will later come for you. So, why don't you attack the person before they could form another defense?’I didn't want to be a coward that always waits to attack with her weakness, I would rather use the weakness myself.Claudia, my stepmother on the other hand, felt like crushing me, but she couldn't do

My corner lips curled up hearing that.I asked Harry to investigate Whitney's household, and immediately we left the hall. Hearing the report was ready was great because I wished to know the woman I would be sharing my space with better.I didn't want to interfere without any knowledge of her struggles.“Good, send it to my email, I will check it soon” I said.“Okay boss” he replied.“How is the corporation's stock price?” I asked him, referring to the Harrison corporation which belongs to Daphne's household.“It fell so much, and we were able to acquire seventy eight percent shares” he reported.A cunning smirk appeared on my lips, thinking of what to do with the family, but I didn't want to take so much action without her consent because it was her fight.“Since we bought

He wanted to make eye contact with me, but Lucian took my hand and distracted me from getting immersed in his gaze.His siblings that were looking at us with a scornful gaze waiting to humiliate us were dumbfounded, seeing how Lucian took care of the whole curiosity and ruined their plan immediately we got in.“Who on earth does this?” Sandra Houston, Andrew's step sister, who was known for her obsession over the company said, not being able to hold her anger anymore.I looked sideways, avoiding her gaze, making sure I didn't get involved in the matter which was created by me.“You are surely a sl*t, you’ve been having an affair with his un

And my mind was blank, as I saw him wearing his wrist watch on his knuckles. ‘What is he trying to do?’ I mulled in my head, trying to process his intentions.‘Is he trying to kill him?’ I thought about rushing to stop him, but I was too late because he was already beating Dell.

I won't call you by your name again” I said, waving at him like a baby.But his expression was confusing because he seemed more angry hearing me apologize. ‘Did I say something wrong again?’ I wondered.“I am not here for that” he said, shrugging it off. “Sorry, what do you mean by what you said earlier?” I asked, looking serious.“You are the majority shareholder in your family corporation” he said, looking at me with mixed feelings.“What do you mean by that? I am just a regular worker in the company” I chuckled softly.“Your mother is the real owner of the company and you are her next of kin which means the shares are under your name, Michelle” he explained.“What?” I was

Her tears streamed down her cheeks non-stop. I pulled her into my arm, and hugged her tightly, patting her back softly.“Cry tonight, and be strong tomorrow, I will always make sure to give you anything you request” I whispered to her ear, and pressed a soft kiss on her hair.It has always been her family, she cries almost every time I see her on bridal shower night, and the first day we met.

I am too busy to explain the situation to her.“Babe,” she called. “Huh?” I turned to her. “Why are they after her?” She asked slowly. “After whom?” I acted ignorant.“You know what I'm talking about, Harry,” she slapped my arm. “It was just an accident, the driver was probably drunk. C'mon, baby, don't think too much,” I replied with a forced smile.“I'm not thinking too much here, and don't take me for a fool, Harry. What's happening? You all seem like you know what's going on, and you, my husband-to-be, refuse to tell me what the problem is.”“You guys are scaring me,” she hissed angrily. “What are you saying, darling?” I dropped my phone and pulled her closer. “It's her family's struggles.

I watched Lucian's car retreating back, thinking of how shocked she would be.“What just happened?” I mumbled, and Darren breath heavily. “Trust me Ella, we will take care of this.” “C'mon, let's leave this place” he held my hand and placed his other hand on my waist to support me while walking.“Okay” I nodded subconsciously as I followed him to the car. The silence inside the car made him worried that he checked up on me almost every second. I reached out to my phone, trying to call Michelle, but Darren was quick to understand my intention. “Ella stop. He will take care of her.”Not too long,We arrived at his mansion and I was confused because we didn't plan on going there, also that was my first time v

I looked up, my heart leaping into my throat as I saw my wife, oblivious to the danger, stepping out into the street. A car, a blur of metal and headlights, hurtled towards her, with terrible intentions.“Michelle?” Time seemed to slow down. I was paralyzed for a split second, my mind screaming at me to act, to move, to do something.“Michelle!” Then, a surge of adrenaline took over, propelling me forward with a force I didn't know I possessed. I lunged, reaching out with all my might, grabbing her arm just as the car wanted to hit her.We tumbled to the pavement, the impact jarring my body. I held her tight, my heart pounding against my ribs. My eyes scanned her face, searching for any sign of injury. “Are you okay, michelle?” I panicked more, seeing how quiet she was.

    ##Chapter 104 Hit-and-run Michelle's POV. “Oh.” In an embarrassing move, I took a step back and tried to ask for Lucian's support Lucian, but he had already pulled away. 'Snitch!’ I screamed in my head with an awkward smile. “Oh? What if we are actually up to something? He is my boyfriend already!” “And also my boyfriend is not stupid and inconsiderate that would ask for such things here!” I smiled slightly when she yelled at me, knowing that I was merely trying to hide the fact that I was not purposefully accusing the man. I remained silent because I knew she might lose it if she found out that I thought that of her, and she was furious. I muttered, "I am sorry." She reprimanded me, saying, "You should apologize to my boyfriend, not me," and I laughed at her. "You are now becoming more mature." "I apologize, Mr. Stewart, for misinterpreting you." He was embarrassed by the entire situation, but my friend wasn't, so I bowed a little. She learned from me. How could she possibly

    ##Chapter 103 In Public Place Michelle's POV It's been a week and my husband has been constantly staying home with me. Working from home was cool, but I couldn't help thinking about Sharon's suspicious move. I stood beside the window thinking about the company, and how quiet everything was. “It's disturbing,” I muttered, referring to the silence. Not within the house, but the shareholders are being obedient as well, which was suspicious to Me. My father was still struggling to prove innocent as they kept adjourning the trial. I didn't care to even attend the trials because I knew it would only make me hate him more. I couldn't bring myself to forgive him after everything he did to me. “Wifey?” Lucian hugged me from behind, and kissed my neck softly. “Hubby” I moaned. “Why are they so quiet?” He asked, rubbing my belly softly. “I don't know, hubby. I'm just worried” I mumbled. “Worried? Why are you worried, my queen?” He looked at me. “I can't say, I think some

It was as if I were trapped in a silent film, watching the world go by in black and white, while my own heart was a broken record, stuck on the same melancholic tune. The air itself felt heavy, pressing down on me like a physical weight.“Sharon!” “Leave me alone!” I screamed, not believing what I faced. A little boy fuvked me till day br

Birds chirp merrily, and a gentle breeze rustles through the leaves, carrying the scent of blooming flowers. Lucian crossed his legs and read the magazines leisurely on the sofa and closed the bed.“It's a beautiful morning” I grunt lazily as I crawled towards him. “Morning baby” he dropped the magazine he was reading. He carried me up, and placed me on his lap.“How was your night?” He asked seductively, reminding me of what we had last night as he rubbed his hand softly on my belly. “Thanks to you.” I giggled, placing my head on his chest. “Are you feeling any pain?” He asked. “No, I'm not feeling pain, I'm still in my first trimester, what’s the rush?” I replied lazily. “Huh? I can't wait to become a father!” He smiled brightly, kissing my belly. “Dad love you so much, grow healthy, don't stress mommy” he said, rubbing my tummy. “You are being an extre

    ##Chapter 100The BarSharon's POV Late at night,Standing in front of the mirror, I can feel the excitement bubbling inside me. I slide into a sleek black dress that skims my body like a second skin. The fabric is soft and luxurious, and it clings to my curves in all the right places, making me feel both powerful and feminine. The dress has an off-the-shoulder design, exposing my shoulders and cleavage, adding a subtle hint of sensuality.As I twirl in front of the mirror, the hemline dances just above my knees, giving a playful glimpse of my legs. I choose a pair of bold red heels that elevate my stature and add a pop of color to my ensemble. With each step, I can feel the confidence radiating from me, and I know I’m ready to turn heads.“Dell would definitely fall for this” I muttered, as I finished off my look with a touch of smoky eye makeup and a soft, inviting fragrance that lingered in the air.

We drove to a quiet villa which was purchased by my boss last year. “What are we doing here?” I asked, but he didn't answer me until we got to the doorstep. “Go meet your lover” he motioned me to go in, which I wasn't prepared for. “What? You mean—” “Yes, she's inside. Don't forget our agreement, you are getting married soon” he reminded me. “Of course” I nodded in agreement. He smiled, “turn off your phone, you have a day off today” then left the villa. The knot in my stomach tightened as I adjusted the collar of my shirt for the tenth time. My palms were slick with sweat, and I could feel my heart hammering against my ribs. I twisted the doorknob, and walked in carefully barely making a sound. But then I spotted a lady in a loose dress with her hair down sitting on the couch. “Elena” I mumbled beneath
