My Mysterious Husband 76: Hide and seek
The minutes seemed to drag on as Lucien paced anxiously by the precinct’s front desk, his mind consumed with worst-case scenarios. He could feel the weight of the promise he made to Aria pressing down on him. Time was slipping away, and every second that passed felt like a betrayal.The officer returned after a few moments, holding a file. “We’ve got a lead,” he said, glancing up at Lucien. “Our team managed to track Sophie’s recent movements. She’s been in contact with a few associates who have a history with her—people we know are involved in some shady operations. We think she’s hiding out in an abandoned warehouse just outside the city.”Lucien’s heart raced as the officer spoke, adrenaline flooding his system. This was it. They had a location. But the fear gnawing at him remained, twisting his stomach into knots.“Is there anyone else around?” Lucien asked, trying to keep his voice steady despite the panic creeping in. “I mean, how many people is she with? Is she armed?”The offi
My Mysterious Husband 75: Missing Parents urgency
"Sir, is there any update or new information regarding the whereabouts of my parents?" Aria asked desperately for what felt like the hundredth time, her voice trembling with fear and frustration. She had been pacing the precinct for hours, questioning every officer she saw, her anxiety growing heavier with each passing minute. The torment of not knowing where her parents were—or if they were even safe—gnawed at her relentlessly. Deep down, she feared the worst. She knew Sophie was capable of carrying out her threats, and the thought of her parents falling into that woman’s hands made her chest tighten with dread."Ma’am, we understand that you're extremely worried, and we truly empathize with your situation," one of the officers said gently, trying to offer some comfort. "But we need you to stay calm and allow the investigation to proceed.""No! You don’t understand," Aria cried, her eyes brimming with tears as her voice cracked under the weight of her emotion. "You have to do somethi
My Mysterious Husband 74: Aria's vow of revenge
Aria stood motionless, her eyes scanning every corner of the once-familiar landscape surrounding her home, now tainted by chaos and despair. The sight before her was almost unrecognizable — a place that once held warmth and memories now seemed hollow, stripped of its comfort. A deep sense of disappointment welled up inside her, wrapping around her chest like a tightening vice. She couldn't stop the flood of thoughts circling her mind, each one more troubling than the last. No matter how she tried to reason with herself, a single, unshakable truth kept resurfacing: this was all Sophie’s doing.Sophie, with her cold precision and calculated moves, had orchestrated everything. It wasn't just about petty revenge or spite. No — Sophie wanted to tear everything down, to take what wasn’t hers, to see Aria crumble, all in an effort to escape the grasp of Lucien. Aria could see it clearly now — the manipulation, the lies, the carefully planted seeds of destruction. And worst of all, Sophie had
My Mysterious Husband 73: Sophie's deadly obsession
Aria's voice trembled with a mixture of anger and frustration as she paced back and forth in Harold’s dimly lit study, her hands clenched into fists at her sides. “Sophie won’t leave me alone, Harold. She keeps sending these threats—horrible ones—and she’s already tried to hurt me more than once. What more does she want from me? I’ve done what she asked. I walked away from Lucien!” Her voice rose with exasperation as she turned sharply to face him. “Why can’t she just stop?”Harold, seated with a heavy expression, looked at her calmly but firmly. “That’s not really the issue here, Aria,” he said, his voice laced with grim certainty. “The truth is—Sophie isn’t going to stop. Not now. Not ever. She sees you as her obstacle, her enemy. And I don’t think she’ll be satisfied until you’re... gone.”The weight of his words struck Aria like a cold wave, leaving her momentarily speechless. Her eyes widened, and a chill crept over her skin, sending shivers down her spine. “You mean—she actually
My Mysterious Husband 72: I won't fight
"Mom... when do you think you'll be going back home?" Aria asked softly, her voice laced with a vulnerability she could no longer suppress. She had tried to keep her feelings hidden, tried to play the part she thought she had to, but something had shifted—her heart was pulling her in a direction she hadn’t expected. Despite all the pain and confusion, she was beginning to fall in love with her husband all over again, and continuing to pretend felt like a betrayal to both herself and him.Her mother looked at her thoughtfully, sensing the struggle behind her daughter's question. “Why the rush, my dear?” she replied gently. “I know I may have acted stubbornly in the past, making decisions on your behalf and pushing you in directions you didn't choose. But everything I did, I did because I thought it was for your good. I just want to see you happy now. That’s all I ever wanted. If I can see you smiling again, then maybe I can stop carrying the guilt I've felt for so long.”Aria gave a fa
My Mysterious Husband 71: A sudden change
Each day felt like a quiet war—one fought not with shouting or anger, but with silence, glances, and unspoken wounds. And still, Lucien tried.Ever since Aria had returned—reluctantly, under her mother’s hopeful urging—he had begun a quiet campaign of penance. Not through apologies, not in words. But in the way he woke early to cook for her, learned the rhythm of her moods, stepped lightly around her pain. Every gesture was small, deliberate. A quiet offering. A silent prayer.He knew he didn’t deserve forgiveness, not easily. Not after what he’d done… or more hauntingly, what he’d failed to do.Sometimes, late at night, when Aria had shut herself away in the guest room—though her mother still believed they shared the master—Lucien would sit in the hallway, back against the cold wall, unable to sleep. He would stare at the door and remember the day it all fell apart. The day he chose pride over love. Fear over courage. He hadn’t realized, then, how fragile a woman’s trust could be whe
My Mysterious Husband 70: Pretend relationship charade
It was the second day since Aria had moved in with Lucien, continuing the exhausting charade of pretending everything was still fine between them—at least in front of her mother. The emotional strain of acting like a loving wife was beginning to wear on her, but for now, the facade had to be maintained.As she entered the kitchen that morning, the familiar aroma of breakfast greeted her, along with the sight of Lucien already busy at the stove. Her mother was seated at the table, sipping her tea with a smile."Good morning, Mom," Aria said softly, leaning down to kiss her mother on the cheek as a warm gesture of greeting.Her mother returned the affection and glanced toward Lucien with a twinkle of amusement in her eyes. "Good morning, darling. Now, don’t forget your husband," she added playfully. "He might start getting jealous of me if you only greet me with such love."Aria hesitated for a moment, her eyes narrowing slightly as she turned toward Lucien. He was watching her, clearly
My Mysterious Husband 69: It's not a promise
Cassandra lowered her eyes for a moment, her fingers tightening around the bouquet he had given her. The scent of fresh flowers mixed with the weight of old memories, and for the first time in years, she allowed herself to stand still in his presence—without running, without pushing him away.“I don’t know what happens next,” she said quietly. “I’m not promising anything, Fabian.”“I’m not asking for promises,” he replied gently. “Just a chance to be near you again. Even if it’s just as someone who supports you from afar.”She looked up at him, eyes softer now, though still guarded. “Then let’s start with this moment. No expectations, no headlines… just two people trying to understand what’s left between them.”A faint smile tugged at his lips. “That’s more than enough for me.”They stood there in silence, surrounded by the fading energy of the fashion show, the noise and lights now distant. In the quiet that followed, something unspoken passed between them—wounded, tentative, but und
My Mysterious Husband 68: Fashion Success
The fashion runway show has concluded successfully, drawing enthusiastic applause and excitement from the audience. The crowd was both delighted and captivated by Cassandra's uniquely creative and bold designs, which left a lasting impression on everyone in attendance.Following the show, Cassandra found herself engaged in conversations with numerous investors who were eager to discuss potential opportunities. Many expressed strong interest in promoting her work and bringing her designs to the broader market. Cassandra was overjoyed by the overwhelmingly positive response and thrilled that her vision resonated with so many. She could hardly wait to see how her creations would perform once introduced to the commercial fashion world."Congratulations, Miss Cassandra," Fabian said warmly, offering a genuine smile as he handed her a bouquet of fresh flowers.Cassandra was taken aback to see him still at the venue. Despite having kept her distance from him for years, she couldn't deny the
