##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 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 4Wedding Night 1Michelle's POV.“{Party B} must report to {party A} about everything going on with {party B} to {party A}. Don't fall in love, don't go near my room, don't do anything suspicious, {party A} judgment can't be questioned.”“Are you trying to imprison me?” I scoffed, reading out the clauses. The ‘fall in love' part irritated me. I thought, ‘who does he think he is?’ “Mr Houston, I am not a child, this is not necessary, I think” I said, trying to convince him.“So? Do you want me to change it?” He said with his cold gaze. “I am just saying, I don't have to do it.”“Read the last clause, Miss Whitney” He motioned me to take the paper back.“If {Party B} failed to act according to the contract, the family will suffer the consequences, and the deal will be revealed to the public” My jaw dropped reading it. ‘I am doomed!’ Then I realized I messed with the wrong guy. A man who has nothing to lose.Then I realized the reason why he wanted to make the contract, I co
##Chapter 5Wedding Night 2Michelle's POV.“Ahhhh!” My screams echoed in the house as I was pinned down. I thought it was over, feeling the person's pressure on my body and speed. I knew the person would be a professional assassin.‘I haven't done anything yet in my life I don't want to die’ I thought, shivering. I knew Dell cannot take it that far by sending someone to kill me, but who could it be?I was so scared until I heard his voice. “Michelle?” 'Lucian?’ I mulled in my head. Then it made sense why the attacker's body was cold. “Lucian Houston?” I called his full name just to be sure. I guessed the rumor about him was true. He was indeed an underground lord.He released me from his grip, and stood up. “What are you doing in the dark?” He said after he switched on the light, but I didn't reply to him.He could understand after seeing the apple seeds on the floor. “I..I was…hungry…boo..hoo” my lips trembled, as tears welled from deep inside and coursed down my cheeks. I didn't
##Chapter 6Wedding Night 3; I Don't Want To Stop.Michelle's POVI stared at him weirdly, seeing his unbothered look. “I am saying, your hands are too pretty, to do those things yourself” he said, and flashed an evil smile at me before closing his door.I went downstairs slowly thinking about his words. ‘'I can't kill for revenge' I shook my head, but that doesn't mean I still forgave Dell for what he has done to me.I entered the room that he talked about. I stepped into the scanty room. “Is this an abandoned house?” I muttered in a low tone.I placed the shirt that was given to me by Lucian on the bed, and wanted to take off my wedding gown, but then something terrible happened.“Lucian!” I screamed.My hair got tangled with the zip, and I can't move my head properly. I kept calling his name until I made sure he could hear me. “What is it, Miss Whitney?” his thick voice rang out behind me, showing no warmth.“Lucian Houston, please help me with this” I pleaded politely, knowing h
##Chapter 7Treating Me LikeMichelle's POV 'Do I really want this?’ I mulled in my head.His voice echoed in my head, bringing hurtful memories that I wanted to forget. Betrayal, maltreatment, and insults, I wanted to forget them all.I didn't want to remember how much I loved Dell, how I got fooled by those two. At that moment, I wanted to throw it all away.I leaned in for more kisses ignoring his questions, and he was taken aback by my actions, but he went with the flow.The kiss was so long and rough. One would think that he has been s*x starved for years.He stopped kissing my lips, and swept my legs off the floor, taking me towards the bed.I couldn't even look at him. He placed me on the bed softly.He took off his shirt revealing his bare chest showing off his great upper body. He looked so thirsty that the beast in him couldn't even hide itself.He continued kissing, and I gave him the exact energy, but then the haunting memory came rushing. The fragrance of the other night

##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
