Being Mr. Hunt's Wife Chapter 36: Chairman Takahashi
"I swear, if I break my ankle in these heels, I am going to haunt Nessa for the rest of her life." Alura muttered the threat to herself as she rushed across the dark parking lot. Her heart was hammering against her ribs. She was late, very late. The gala was already filled with people inside the huge glowing hotel-- a luxury property owned by Lucius himself. She clutched her small purse and picked up her pace, terrified of the cold scolding she was about to receive from her boss. Lucius hated lateness, and he hates excuses even more. As she hurried toward the grand side entrance, loud voices caught her attention. "I don't care what you're saying, old man. You can't go through this door. Guests use the front!" The huge hotel bodyguard stood with his arms crossed, blocking the path of an elderly man in a black suit. The older man looked deeply distressed. He gestured urgently toward the doors, speaking frustrated Japanese. Alura slowed down. She watched the bodyguard roll his
Being Mr. Hunt's Wife Chapter 35: Takeover challenge
"I thought they just had an emergency meeting last week?," Alura asked Emily, keeping her voice low so the passing board members wouldn't hear her.Emily shook her head. "I guess things haven't been fully resolved. Or maybe our billionaire boss is finally firing his awful uncle."But it was far from what was about to happen.Uncle Roland had called another emergency board meeting out of nowhere, and the suddenness of it had everyone on edge. Inside the boardroom, the air was suffocating with silence.Lucius sat at the head of the table as usual, he just stared at his uncle waiting for whatever shenanigans he was about to pull off this time.Roland stood at the opposite end of the table, looking quite pleased with himself. "It's time we stop pretending this company is stable," Roland started, he looked around the room, making eye contact with every board member. "The stock is beginning to fluctuate, and we all know it's because the media is currently running wild with this ridiculous
Being Mr. Hunt's Wife Chapter 34: Prison Therapist
ASHFORD BAY."This is the last one." Grey muttered as he knelt besides Abigail's bed, injecting the last hormone injection.For two weeks, this had been their routine, fourteen nights of him walking into her room, breaking the cold rules he had set for their three years contract marriage, just to administer her hormone injections.Abigail watched quietly, as usual. The cold sting made her shiver, but his touch was warm. When he pulled the needle away, his thumb didn't linger and rub the spot where he injected as usual, neither did he comfort her.Instead he stood up immediately, and walked out of the room without another glance.Abigail looked confused, why was he back to being cold towards her. He didn't even say a single word to her...........,.,......Soon Grey arrived at ECO Oils, Marcus stood by the glass doors of his office. He crossed his arms and watched Grey.Grey sat behind his desk. He was staring at his phone. The screen was dark, he tapped his thumb against the screen, a
Being Mr. Hunt's Wife CHAPTER 33 Bryan's Dream
"Lou! Are you busy?" Bryan Hunt walked in, bringing a rush of bright energy into Lucuis's study in his villa. At twenty one, Lucius's cousin was the exact opposite of him. While Lucius loved to wear suits and keep his emotions locked behind a wall of ice, Bryan wore bright colored fashion clothes and his emotions plainly on his face. He had a warm, cute look that made people naturally adore him. Lucius set his glass of whiskey down. His usual icy expression immediately softened. He had always felt a natural bond toward Bryan. He didn't know why, but Bryan was one of the few people Lucius genuinely cared about, even though he was uncle Roland's son and had been raised to hate Lucuis. "You dont knock anymore?" Lucius asked with a smirk, though there was no real anger in his voice. "If I knock, you might tell me to go away," Bryan said with a wide grin. He practically bounced on his feet as he walked over to the leather sofa facing Lucuis's desk and threw himself onto it. He
Being Mr. Hunt's Wife CHAPTER 32: Uncle Roland Hunt
"He is Roland Hunt. CEO Lucius Hunt's uncle." Emily explained. Alura frowned. "If he's his uncle, then why does he look so angry?" Emily scoffed in disdain. "That's because he really hates his nephew," Emily replied. "When I was newly employed, I heard rumors that Mr Roland was supposed to take over as the CEO of the entire Hunt Group when Mr. Hunt's late father passed away. It was practically promised to him. But the CEO position went to Mr. Lucius Hunt instead, even though everyone thought he was way too young at that time, He proved them wrong with the experience of someone who had been in business for a very long time, do his grandmother the monarch of the Hunt family, willed the company to him." Alura listened quietly, completely fascinated by the dark, family style rivalry playing out in front of her. She had assumed Lucius was completely unopposed in his empire. "Mr. Roland holds a bitter grudge because of it," Emily continued. "And he doesn't even try to hide it anymore. H
Being Mr. Hunt's Wife CHAPTER 31: Bounty increased
The bounty had turned from gossip into a city wide obsession.The anonymous bounty had been reposted across dozens of different platforms, and overnight, the promised reward had mysteriously increased to a staggering, unbelievable sum $200 MILLION.Cedarville went really crazy. The hunt for Lucius Hunt’s secret wife became some sort of competitive sport. Amateur internet detectives formed their own online forums, analyzing every single woman the Lucuis had been photographed with during the past five years. They stalked his inactive social media accounts for tiny clues.The madness quickly spilled from the internet into the real world. Dozens of aggressive paparazzi and desperate civilians swarmed the parking lot and surroundings of the Hunt Group headquarters. They shoved microphones and cameras into the faces of random employees, trying to bribe them for internal information. Building security had to use heavy metal barricades and double their numbers just to keep the public from
