Being Mr. Hunt's Wife Chapter 38: Assassins
"Were you too busy dressing up that you forgot the time, Or did you get lost in MY city, knight?" Lucius's deep mocking voice cut through the quiet murmurs of the ballroom.Grey stopped in front of the Japanese guests. He ignored Lucius completely. He bowed his head slightly toward the elderly man at the center of the group. "I apologize for the interruption, Chairman Takahashi," Grey said, his voice was calm. "The traffic coming off the bay was worse than we anticipated."The chairman's assistant translated to him.Lucius let out a loud, sarcastic scoff. He did not bother hiding the anger burning in his chest. "Traffic. Right. You just happen to walk in the exact moment the chairman announces your late entry. Well planned."Grey shifted his storm-gray eyes to Lucius. The look was flat and dead. "I am here to do business, Hunt. Not put on a play."Before Lucius could fire back, Uncle Roland stepped forward. Unlike Lucius, who openly showed his hatred for his rival CEO, Roland force
Being Mr. Hunt's Wife CHAPTER 37: Hilda Miller x New Takahashi participant
The woman standing in front of them was wearing a deep crimson dress that probably cost more than Alura’s college tuition, paired with diamond jewelry that caught the ballroom lights. She looked stunning, but in a cunning way."It's really been a long time, Lucius," the woman purred. She stepped closer to the Lucuis and reached out, letting her manicured fingers rest intimately on his arm.Lucius did not blink. He looked at the hand on his arm as if it were a strange bug. Then, he took a very deliberate step back, letting her hand drop to her side.He didn't acknowledge her gesture or the fake closeness.The woman’s smile faltered for a second. She quickly recovered, masking her annoyance. "I'm Hilda Miller," she said, her voice loud enough for the surrounding guests to hear. "CEO of Miller Group. We've partnered before for business projects....Since you seem to have forgotten."Lucuis still stared blankly at her, in fact he looked bored like he didn't have time for this disturb
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 17: Debt Brides
The Ashford Bay skyline looked completely different from Cedarville's stark, towering steel structures. Here, the ocean breeze swept through the wide city streets, carrying a faint scent of salt water that temporarily cleared the heavy, suffocating fog in Alura's head. Last night Nessa had succe

Being Mr. Hunt's Wife CHAPTER 14: Bring your new wife along.
Lucius sat behind his massive desk, staring blankly at the closed office door. He was thinking about his secretary, Alura. And It irritated him how much space she was suddenly taking up in his mind. He had spent the last thirty minutes replaying the scene from the breakroom. The way her delicat
