Mirelle's POV

I don't feel alive. My limbs feel too heavy to move, leaving me lying in the same position as yesterday despite the painful growling of my empty stomach.

I haven't eaten since my engagement night, the day before yesterday, and I don't have an appetite.

It all points to what happened yesterday.

From my argument with Lucas to how rude I was to Asher, I let my anger and harsh words take over because I was too ashamed to talk to him.

That was so poor of me, but it was a cautious me

    MIRELLE'S POV I watched quietly, ignoring the way my body was shivering with horror.“Why do you think you can keep doing that to me? We are not even on good terms,” She whined, pushing his hand away when he tried to touch her again.“What does that have to do with me?” Lucas smirked flirtatiously.My skin crawled with disgust at the way they acted like a perfectly normal couple.This is literally a stepmother and son in a secret relationship that no one knows how long it has been going on!I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs, but I just wrapped my hand over my throat instead to stop myself from losing it. “You could have at least defended me when your father kept saying in my presence that Mirelle will soon become the madam of this house, even though he never allows me to have full control over the activities in here or fulfill any kind of intimate rights with me. I felt so insulted because he has always prioritized other women's needs and ignored me like a piece of trash.” S

    MIRELLE'S POV All in all, ten years ago, Lucas was fifteen. So his father started making it clear that he had no say in his love life. How strange, and most importantly, why me? It's more concerning that he is opening up to me. Judging from the way he keeps stretching every word that comes out of his mouth, it's clear that he is currently under the influence of something. He doesn't sound normal. The wine that was served wasn't alcoholic. What could it be? “He is scared of losing you,” He began, his face twisting bitterly. “Really?” I let out a fake gasp just to keep the conversation going. “Yes. My father wouldn't be triggered by the whole relationship thing if it wasn't deeply important to him, and I guess it's all related to the empire that he holds dear to his heart.” Lucas shook his head, blinking his eyes drowsily. I think whatever was disturbing him has just begun to take a huge toll, because his forehead has become damp with sweat even though it's cold here. “Fathe

  • Cheated By My Fiancé, Became His Uncle's Obsession    27. I lied

    MIRELLE'S POV Lucas's father raised an eyebrow at his son, slightly pushing his jaw forward toward his wife in a way to silently ask what could be wrong with her. I shifted my eyes back to Lucas, who only shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he had no idea why his stepmother acted like that. I feel like it's because of my presence in the Villa tonight, or the joke about me becoming the mistress of the house soon. The elderly man walked forward, while we followed him behind. The moment I stepped into the huge villa, the cold air from the air conditioning brushed against my skin. The polished marble floor gleamed beneath the massive crystal chandelier, while expensive furniture and elegant decorations filled the spacious interior. We walked into the living room, where a long, luxurious couch sat in the middle beneath another beautiful chandelier. Everything smelled like money. Mr. St Ledger pointed towards one of the couches. “Both of you should sit down. We need to t

    MIRELLE'S POV I couldn’t stop shaking after that little conversation with Asher. He caught me crying, and I was ashamed. I kept walking until I got to the side of the Villa that leads to the garden. I didn't want to go back there, and be with them. So, I turned to look at my reflection through the tinted window, noticing how teary my eyes had become. I quickly used my finger to wipe away every trace of tears, but my mind kept dragging me back to Asher.This was an opportunity to apologize to him, and it felt decent to do that now. It doesn't matter if things have ended between us, but it's better to admit to my mistakes. Without giving it a second thought, I turned around and started running back to the place he packed his car. I ignored the little pains in my stomach that were threatening to tear off my abdomen, and kept on dragging my legs forward. Asher was already in his car, and just as I got closer, he drove out past me at full force, but I think he saw me because he

    ASHER'S POV Today had been a disastrous day.While coming here, I crashed my car into a huge pole because of the headache that has bean threatening to make me go psycho. The act of working until your skin starts peeling off has always been glorified in the medical world, but I had somehow managed to keep my schedule under control no matter what. Many of my colleagues used to envy me because I had always been able to stay healthy. It's been a different story ever since I came back to this fucking country. Maybe it's cursed.I now had dark circles under my eyes. What?!So many people are unhealthy, and the number of patients needing treatment in the neurology department was overwhelming.I haven't had a productive conversation with my private investigator ever since the day I shunned him. He tried to reveal some information to me, but I told him to pause. How could a job I had always vowed to give my all to, even if I were sinking in the ocean, become something I had grown bored o

    MIRELLE'S POV I snatched my eyes away from Lucas instantly, my heart beating hard against my chest as I watched the man behind my restlessness for the past weeks.The warm glow from the elegant garden lights illuminated his reflection as he walked closer to us.He looked so worn out, and it was easy to guess that he had come straight from the hospital after a long day. Yet, he had still made time to honor his elder brother’s invitation to the little celebration.I stylishly pushed Lucas’s hand away from my chin as I lowered my eyes to my hands that were clasped on my lap.Why am I feeling so nervous?I couldn’t ignore how hurt I was by the fact that he hadn’t spared me a single glance.I raised my head again just in time to watch Mr. Williams rush to his side and pull him into a brief side hug. His reluctance was obvious in the way he responded to the gesture before gently taking his seat beside his elder brother.They exchanged a blank stare before turning their attention back to e
