All Chapters of My Boss, My Husband: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

As Lucius's team had predicted, Amelia was a woman who thrived on appearances and wouldn't allow rumors to spread. What rumors? Well, the argument between Serge and Dominic had spread like wildfire through Fairmount Corporation, and many were blaming Serge for Dominic's supposed suicide. This had forced my father to make an appearance at the office. I knew this because I had returned to my regular duties at the company.This was, of course, against Lucius's wishes, but not against the broader instructions given to me by him, Julia, and Mohamed—yes, he was real and had been watching me all along.When I entered the main dining room, Amelia greeted me with her usual fake smile. Amanda sat next to her, looking exhausted, while Andrew wore a clear expression of disdain at my arrival."Marianne, I'm so glad you could take a few minutes out of your busy schedule to join us," Amelia said in her sugar-coated tone."I couldn't turn down a meal with my father. These past few days have been e

Once chaos began, there would be no stopping it. That was the thought running through my head as everything unfolded around me. When the news of the audit hit, Serge, Andrew, and even Amelia rushed to their cars, heading straight for Fairmount Corporation. Caught up in the whirlwind, I couldn't do anything but follow them in my own vehicle to the office.None of the three looked calm, not even close. In fact, I had to hurry to catch the elevator with them. Everything was happening so quickly, it felt like someone had pressed fast forward on my life."I don't want anyone saying more than what's asked," Amelia ordered. "Yes and no should be your only answers.""Don't give me orders, Amelia. I know what I'm doing. It's you two who are clueless. Look at your husband!" Andrew snapped back.He was referring to Serge, who still looked like a complete wreck, except now he was a wreck in panic mode. Amelia didn't take kindly to the contradiction and looked ready to lash out, but the elevato

"They killed him? He didn't... He didn't commit suicide? You admit it?" I asked, my voice cracking under the weight of the revelation."It was a threat... those people, they're dangerous. I didn't... I never meant..." Serge stammered."And you didn't think, even for a second, that it could have been me they found dead? That I could've been the one if I had accepted your shares, Dad?" My heart shattered as the words left my mouth.Serge looked at me, a mixture of guilt and desperation in his eyes. I couldn't tell if I should pity him or despise him. His ambition and thirst for power had brought him here—dragging our entire family down with him. I could hardly stand to call him my father."I never thought they'd go that far... you have to understand, Marianne. Dominic didn't understand, but you will. In business, you do what you have to do. We have so many employees depending on us and so many futures at stake. How could I just stand by and let everything fall apart?""Oh, so now yo

"Where is he? Where's Dad?" Amanda asked frantically, bouncing her crying daughter in her arms, trying to soothe her."He's inside. All they've told me is that he had a stroke," I replied, my voice flat from exhaustion."Is he going to die? Is he going to leave us alone?" she sobbed, unable to hold back her tears.A deep wave of sympathy welled up in me as I looked at Amanda. She looked so lost, so vulnerable."You're not alone, Amanda. What about your mom... or Andrew?" I asked even though I knew both were terrible options. Still, one was her mother, and the other, well, I'd like to think he cared at least a little for their daughter."Andrew is with his lawyers, and I don't know where my mom is. She's not answering my calls or texts. I was alone while the police searched Dad's office. They even gave me a search warrant," she cried even harder, and so did the baby."They searched your house too? Are you sure you tried calling her enough?" Jenna chimed in, trying to offer some re

"Do you really want us to leave together? Are you ready to give up everything for me?" he asked, still in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing."If you come with me, yes. I'll go anywhere, just don't leave me," I assured him.He finally understood that I wasn't joking. A small glimmer of hope flickered across his face, and I was sure it mirrored my own. I had reached a point where I couldn't imagine my life without Lucius, where the mere thought of living without him felt like a death sentence. I loved him deeply, and while I wasn't sure if what he felt for me was love, I knew his feelings were strong. I didn't know if this was the right thing to do, but I was willing to take the risk.Lucius went back to the closet and grabbed another suitcase, this time filling it with his clothes. That was my green light to pack my essentials. We hurried, stuffing our lives into two carry-on bags, and within minutes, we were racing down to the parking garage.We jumped into t
