Claiming His Plus Size Contract Wife CHAPTER 64
The heavy oak study doors clicked shut with a soft, final sound.The loud shouts of Julian Sterling faded away down the long hallway, swallowed up by the thick stone walls of the grand estate. Then, silence rushed back into the room like a cold wind.Lucien stood beside his massive mahogany desk. The amber glow from the computer monitors cast long, flickering shadows across the floor. He did not move. His broad shoulders were still rigid, his jaw clenched tight.Even though the enemies were gone, the room still felt heavy. It did not feel like a great victory. It felt empty.Lucien looked down at his own hands. They were steady, but inside his chest, his heart felt bruised and battered. The corporate war was won. The hacker was trapped. But the person who had hurt him the most was his own sister.Clara, he thought, a bitter, stinging ache rising in his throat.He had raised her. He had given her every luxury, protected her from the harsh realities of the world, and forgiven a hundred

The heavy oak door of Lucien’s private study flew open with a sharp, echoing bang.The room was dark, lit only by the faint, pulsing amber glow of the computer monitors. Lucien did not turn around from the window. He stood tall and rigid, his broad shoulders squared beneath his black shirt, his hands resting flat against the cool glass. He already knew who was standing in the doorway. He could feel the cold, bitter energy cutting through the silent air of the room."You like playing God in the dark, don't you, Lucien?"The voice was smooth, cold, and dripping with years of stored-up hatred.Julian Sterling stepped across the threshold of the study. He was not alone. Behind him, walking into the dimly lit room with her chin held high and a triumphant smirk on her painted lips, was Clara.Lucien slowly turned his head. His dark eyes moved past Julian and landed directly on his sister.For a single, agonizing second, something inside Lucien’s chest fractured. It wasn't the corporate hack

A young, sweaty software engineer sitting at a nearby terminal typed furiously on his keyboard, his eyes wide with nervous excitement."Mr. Sterling! We've successfully breached the core R&D vault!" the engineer shouted over the noise of the fans. "We are downloading the unreleased quantum-processor blueprints right now! And... and the liquid capital accounts are transferring into our offshore shell companies as we speak!"Julian’s smile widened into something truly sinister. The humiliation he had suffered in the corporate boardrooms months ago was finally being wiped away. Every dollar stolen, every secret design copied, every stock metric manipulated—it was all coming together into a masterpiece of revenge."Don't stop," Julian commanded, leaning forward, resting his elbows on his knees. "Strip the servers bare. Leave him nothing. Let him wake up tomorrow morning to a hollow shell of an empire."Back at the grand estate, Lucien slammed the heavy oak door of his private study shut b

Red light flashed across the grand ballroom. The screens on the wall turned completely black, and then the word COMPROMISED blinked in bright, angry red letters.The soft music stopped. The polite chatter died instantly.Every single rich guest in the room gasped. People dropped their champagne flutes, the glass shattering against the polished wooden floor. Women covered their mouths with shaking hands. Men took steps backward, looking around in sudden, sharp panic.Lucien stood frozen for one split second. His dark eyes darted from the red screens back to the center of the room. His mind—usually sharp, fast, and calculating—raced through a dozen possibilities at once.It was a trap.All of it. The party, the guest list, the open gates, Clara’s dramatic entrance, and Victoria’s cold, mocking smile. It wasn't just a family argument. It wasn't just a bitter sister wanting attention or money. It was a distraction.Across the room, Clara stood tall in her sparkling silver dress. Her heart

"A little of both, my love," Lucien confessed with a low, rumbling chuckle. "I told you, I want everything to be perfect tonight. No disruptions. No shadows. Just you, me, and the people who actually matter."Alessia smiled, her dark eyes shining with absolute trust. "Nothing can ruin tonight, Lucien. Look around us. Everyone is happy. Your friends are here, the estate is beautiful, and our baby is safe. The past is behind us.""Always," Lucien murmured, leaning down to press a soft, lingering kiss to her temple.Neither of them knew that parked just fifty yards down the dark, tree-lined avenue outside the estate gates, idling quietly in the deep shadows of the perimeter wall, was a sleek black sedan.Inside the car, the interior lights were completely off.Victoria Morati sat in the passenger seat, tapping a long, manicured fingernail against the leather armrest, her eyes locked on the brilliant, glowing lights of the mansion ahead. Beside her, Clara sat rigid, her breathing shallow,

"Let her try," Lucien said softly, his voice dropping into a lethal register that made the hairs on the back of his own neck stand up. "My home is here, Grandfather. Alessia and my baby are my entire world now. My perimeters are locked. My guards have strict orders. Clara is free to live her life however she chooses, far away from this estate. But she will never, ever cross my threshold again."Old Richard sighed—a long, rattling sound that seemed to carry the weight of a century of dynastic fatigue. He looked out his Swiss window at the impassable, snow-capped mountains. He knew that tone. It was the exact same tone he had used forty years ago when he seized total control of the family board. There was no reasoning with it."Protect your home, Lucien," Richard murmured, resignation finally bleeding into his old voice. "Protect your wife. But remember this: a house divided against itself cannot stand forever. Goodbye, my boy."Click.The line went dead. The dial tone hummed softly bef
