Aria could hardly contain her anticipation—every heartbeat was filled with the hope that soon, she would receive good news about her parents. Despite the deep worry gnawing at her heart, she clung to the faith she had placed in Lucien. He had promised her that he would find them, that he would do everything in his power to bring them back safely and ensure that Sophie, the one behind their disappearance, would face justice. And Aria believed him. Completely.

While she waited for any word from him or the authorities, she continued her duties at the hospital without missing a beat. Her hands moved with practiced precision, stitching wounds and caring for patients as if her personal world hadn’t been turned upside down.

  • My Mysterious Husband   80: Don't let go

    The police urgently escorted Lucien to the hospital, sirens wailing in the background as paramedics worked frantically to stabilize him. Blood was pouring from a deep stab wound in his chest, dangerously close to his heart. The situation was dire—every second counted.Inside the ambulance, Aria’s mother held tightly onto Lucien’s hand, her face pale with fear and her eyes filled with worry. "Hold on, Lucien," she pleaded, her voice trembling as tears streamed down her cheeks. She was trying to stay strong, but the sight of him in such a critical state was overwhelming.Lucien, barely conscious and gasping for breath, looked up at her with pain in his eyes. A single tear slid down his own cheek as he whispered hoarsely, “I hope your daughter can forgive me now.” Each word came out with effort, his breathing labored and uneven, as though even speaking was a struggle.Aria’s father, riding alongside them, leaned in closer, his expression stern but deeply worried. “Don’t say another word,

  • My Mysterious Husband   79: Finally found Sophie

    Aria’s voice haunted him—“Just find them, Lucien. Bring them home.” It echoed in his mind like a vow he hadn’t fulfilled. He sat alone in his private study, the dim desk lamp casting shadows over scattered files, old case notes, and internal company records that had long since been shelved.But now, he was seeing them with fresh eyes.He pulled out the folder marked “Sophie Barbers – Disappearance,” flipping through the half-forgotten notes. Sophie had once been Aria’s closest friend, a sharp-eyed assistant who was fiercely loyal to the Thorne family—until she vanished without a trace six months before Aria’s parents disappeared.At the time, Sophie’s kidnapping had been written off as a random crime. No ransom. No suspects. Just a hollow investigation and a trail that led nowhere.But what if it wasn’t random?Lucien frowned as he re-read Sophie’s last known location—she had gone to deliver sensitive financial records directly to Mr. and Mrs. Thorne at their private countryside estat

  • My Mysterious Husband   78: Deception unveiled

    As soon as Aria heard the news that their perfume company had resumed operations and was launching new projects, she immediately stood up from where she was sitting, her heart pounding with a mix of hope and excitement. Without wasting a moment, she rushed toward the company headquarters, convinced that the sudden revival of the business could only mean one thing—her parents must have returned, and Lucien had somehow helped bring everything back together.He might have truly helped my family. Maybe… maybe they're finally safe now, she thought, a hopeful smile growing across her face as she neared the building. The possibility that her parents were no longer in danger filled her with cautious optimism.As she entered the company building, familiar faces turned toward her. Staff members and employees who had once worked under her parents greeted her politely, but there was a strange, unspoken tension in the air. Their expressions were tight, eyes flickering with something that made Aria

  • 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
