MIRELLE'S POV

“Do you have one here?” I creased my brows in confusion. “I mean, among all those mansions? You know, while I was walking down the estate road, I felt so uncomfortable because there was no sign of anyone living there,” I asked, unable to keep my inquisitive mouth shut.

“There are no outsiders in the St. Ledger estate. It's not like other estates. All the buildings you see there belong to my late father's sons and some of his relatives, which he built to keep the bond together, b

    MIRELLE'S POV My heart shattered into tiny pieces at his rejection. “Why not? Why would you say that?” I felt tears welled up in my eyes at his rejection. I was so confused as to why I wanted to cry, but didn't really think much about it. His eyebrows creased in confusion. “Why are your eyes suddenly teary?” “Maybe because you are trying to reject me.” “I have never met anyone with so many annoying, manipulative tricks like you. I don't want to end up in a situation where you will start calling this moment in the car a mistake, Mirelle,” he said. “I won't,” I murmured. “Sure?” He raised an eyebrow, calling for me to promise him. “Yes,” I nodded my head and blinked the tears away, hating myself for being so sensitive. “Sure?” He smirked, running his hand over my stomach. I didn't answer him this time as I inched my lips closer and took his mouth with mine; every part of me was on alert at the way his hand dragged the hem of my dress up, then he drummed his fingers along the

    MIRELLE'S POV I bit my lower lip, playing with my fingers as my cheeks burned under his intense gaze.“Stop looking at me.” I tried to glare at him, but the attempt quickly melted into a shy, blushing smile.Damn. What was wrong with me?Asher leaned the side of his head to the seat, a wide grin stretched across his face as he now fully focused on staring at me. “Tell me,” he demanded. “I just asked a question, nothing else. You didn't even answer me.” I brushed my hair over my shoulder, catching a glimpse of how messy I looked through the side view mirror. “I would give you anything you want. I won't stop at kissing, Mirelle.” He said firmly. My stomach bloomed with butterflies. “How can you say something like that so easily?” A flush crept across my cheeks, my lips parting slightly as I stared at him in amazement.“I don't know either.” He wondered. “Maybe my soul got heavily interlinked with yours that night, and each time I let myself think deeply on what could have made me

    MIRELLE'S POVEvery ounce of delight had vanished, and my heart twisted painfully with guilt. "Asher..." I called, feeling heavily ashamed. "I didn't mean to say it like that about never wanting to carry your child because something is wrong with you. You know, if things ever turn out like that, which I hope it wouldn't, aborting would be the solution because how do I explain ending up with a child with you?” I tried to word it better this time, keeping my voice calm. He was quiet for a few seconds. “Yes, it's your choice. You were saying it like I would abandon my child.” He said, his mood gradually returning to normal as he started the engine and pulled the car onto the road, driving away.“Nah, you would be a good daddy,” I teased. He gave me an amused side-eye. “I don't like kids.” His lips curled into a playful, smug smile. “Oh, then if your wife wants one?” I frowned. “Then we take care of them together. It's my responsibility. But personally, I don't think I will be abl

You know, while I was walking down the estate road, I felt so uncomfortable because there was no sign of anyone living there,” I asked, unable to keep my inquisitive mouth shut. “There are no outsiders in the St. Ledger estate. It's not like other estates. All the buildings you see there belong to my late father's sons and some of his relatives, which he built to keep the bond together, but the moment he died, everyone scattered. During Thanksgiving, or festive periods, they might come and stay there, then go back again,” He said nonchalantly. “Your late father's sons…” I trailed off, raising an eyebrow. “I and my brothers.” He grunted. “One is late,” He finally added after a few seconds of silence. My breath caught in my throat. Everything Lucas had revealed to me due to him being under the influence of a sex drug came rushing back, but I kept silent this time because, from

  • Cheated By My Fiancé, Became His Uncle's Obsession    30. Embarrased

    MIRELLE'S POV I tiptoed out of the guest room, following the familiar turns and corners of the extravagant villa. My senses sharpened as I retraced the path we had taken the night before. Even my eyes felt unbearably heavy from the sleepless night, but I still forced myself to stay alert, my gaze darting around the quiet living room as I searched for anyone who might stop me. I had almost reached the huge living room when the butler suddenly walked in from another hallway.I froze on the spot.My hand instinctively rose to scratch my ear nervously before I straightened up so that she wouldn't suspect anything. As she approached, I composed myself. "Good morning, ma'am. Is there anything you need?" She asked calmly and bowed slightly. "I want to leave this place."Her expression barely changed, but I noticed the sudden tension in her shoulders and the rapid flutter of her eyelashes."Should I get the cars prepared?""No." I snapped, keeping my voice low. I wondered if any of the

    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
