Chapter 24Making Her Fall In LoveLucian's POV.She entered the room and her eyes widened in shock. โWhat?โ โWelcomeโ I said stiffly, not knowing how to act merry.I planned to throw a little party for her which wasn't my idea, but Darren's ideal.Two days before the board meeting day.I sat in my office signing some documents, but then my phone rang all of a sudden making me lose focus on work.I picked up my phone, checking the caller identity, and it turned out to be Darren, my best friend.โHelloโ I said, immediately I picked the call. โYo! I am back!โ Darren's voice could be heard from the other end, and I could tell how excited he was. โWelcomeโ I said lazily. โWhat? Just like that?โ Darren scoffed from the other end. โWhat do you want me to say?โ I shook my head at his dramatic ways.โWe should meet up, I can't wait to hear your excuse for getting married in such a wayโ he blurted from the other end.โReally?

##Chapter 25Are You My Husband?Michelle's POVI was still surprised as I tried to suppress my laughter. โWhat is this?โ I asked.I haven't processed the fact that Lucian was still in a funny position. He was angry some moments ago, and now he was inside the funny room with his arm widely open.โWhat is happening here?โ I mulled in my head, hoping that nothing was wrong. โI-Iโฆโ he stuttered then stopped talking. I walked further inside the room, looking around the room that was decorated with pink, and pink balloons. โWhy did he do this?โ I thought, and wanted to figure out why he asked me in.โBut how did he get this much pink teddy?โ I thought, looking at tbe absurd decorations. โIs he trying to impress his niece?โ I wondered, then remembered that he didn't have a good relationship with his family.โDid he have a secret baby? What was I expecting? He is almost forty, he will surely have hidden kids in the countryside?โ I pictured a crazy lifestyle for him.โHe did well hiding his k

Then boom!

Why did you even believe that?โ He sat up, and looked at me.โI am sorry, but it actually makes senseโ I cleared my throat, as he shot me a deadly glare.โLet's forget about that for nowโ he said with his teeth gritted.โOhโฆ
##Chapter 27Saving Her Life, Throwing Her PrideMichelle's POV The room's atmosphere became hot and I could barely breathe. Not for any reason, but the fear of losing my life. Why did I do such a thing?My eyes were still widened in shock at my own action. I could really maintain my position as Lucian's wife, why did I have to do something so dangerous?โW-what did I do โฆ.wrong?โ Lucian asked, feeling his cheeks. โIโฆโ I was short of words, and I knew there was nothing I could say to justify that crazy act.โMichelle save yourself!โ I screamed in my head and swallowed nervously. โWhat do I do? Michelle thinks! Do something!โ I chanted in my head.โThe best thing is to be defenseless now, Michelle!โ I mulled in my head, trying to make use of quotes I always read even though I barely master them.โI deserve to die!โ I exclaimed as I kneel down with my two hands up, and my eyes closed.โThis should work, he won't kill his wife, right? Even if he is a Mafia Lord, he will give me a second
##Chapter 28Hunger Strike Michelle's POV I freeze on the spot as I hear his voice behind me. โIt can't be him! He shouldn't be!โ I screamed in my head as I turned around slowly.โWhat is he doing here?โ I mulled in my head blaming his bad timing as he switched on the light.โHow could you do this to me, Michelle?โ I said inwardly, referring to myself as a third person.โGood morningโ I waved at him embarrassingly. โMorning? It's not morning yetโ he chuckled softly, but his expression was still stiff.โOhโฆ that's rightโ I nodded, not raising my head up. โYou didn't show up for dinnerโ he said, which was more like a question.โDid he forget about the slap?โ I pondered because of his calm and indifferent look.โThat is great, it works out for me wellโ I giggled inwardly.โYesโฆ. I slept offโ I said slowly. โAlrightโฆ I will get the chefs for you.

##Chapter 29A Real Noble Michelle's POV.I couldn't believe my eyes as our car stopped in front of a psychiatric hospital.โWhat the heck is going on here?โ I mulled in my head as I widened my eyes. โLucian is out of his mind!โ I yelled, and the driver jerked up, even I couldn't believe that I said that. โI feel so frustratedโ I thought, and looked at the driver, making him feel intimidated.โMa'am?โ The driver said with fear in his voice. โWhat am I doing here?โ I asked angrily. โMr Houston saidโฆ you have an appointmentโฆ. hereโ he stuttered.โAn appointment?

##Chapter 30Advice From My Friend Lucian's POV In the early hours of the day, the atmosphere was quiet, and the streets were sparsely populated. The soft light of the rising sun was casting long shadows, creating a peaceful ambiance.The sound of leaves rustling gently in the trees could be heard, and the chirping of birds greeting the morning, a few distant sounds of a few early risers starting their day echoed on the street.There is a sense of stillness and calmness that envelops the landscape before the hustle and bustle of daily life begins.The air was crisp and fresh, carrying it with the scent of dew on the grass or flowers in bloom. Shop shutters will still be closed, and the city's usual cacophony of traffic and activity has not yet fully commenced.I stood up from my chair, and left my study room. I didn't leave my study room till the night ran out.My face looked stressed, but it was a big deal to me. I went to take my bath and got dressed.I always leave the mansion be
##Chapter 31Ego Check Michelle's POV I sat patiently across from the doctor and we both stared at each other, waiting for my dear husband's arrival. Our eyes were filled with determination, and a crazy smirk was laced on my lips as I remembered what I requested her to do.Few minutes ago,โTell him to come down here, that I am throwing a tantrum,โ I whispered, and she widened her eyes, looking at me like some crazy woman.โI can't do that when you are perfectly fineโ she shook her head at me, trying to act like a professional. โWhy can't you? I might end up destroying the entire place if you don'tโ I said, with a cunning smirk.โWhat? But___โ she was saying, but I cut in. โI will make sure this doesn't affect your careerโ I said, as I scrutinized her with my eyes.I knew she was a career woman just by looking. She was at work that early to attend to me impromptu. She is probably married with kids, but still meets up with the appointment even though she wasn't aware before, and with
##Chapter 110Darren's POVThe StandardโWhere is she?!โ I got to the gate, and the bodyguards looked confused. โWhere's my girlfriend?!โ I yelled. โMa'am just left,โ they reported. โWhat? You let her out?โโYes, she seems angry andโโ they couldn't finish their words after seeing my eyes. โIf Bella gets hurt in this neighborhood, be ready for the consequences!โ I ran out of the mansion and started running to only God knows where. I couldn't think straight knowing she might encounter danger around.โBella, please come back to me,โ I mumbled in my head as I looked around. I regretted going into the annex. โBella!โI called her name several times, and then realization hit me. โMichelleโwhat if_โ I couldn't finish my words as I pulled out my phone and dialed Lucian's number.โHello,โ I heard my friend's voice with curiosity laced in it. โIs Bella there?โ I asked, making him sense urgency in my voice. โBella?

##Chapters 109Bella's POV.Love His ExโThis is so boringโฆโI mumbled after eating breakfast, I haven't seen Darren since yesterday, and I couldn't find him. The house is too big; I might get lost.โHow could he?โ I hissed. โI know I was wrong, but I'm his guest! That rude old man!โ I ranted, waiting for a knock on my door, but I didn't hear anything.โI will give him a call then,โ I mumbled to myself and reached out for my phone, but then I remembered my phone was with him. 'Bella, how could you be so forgetful?โโElla, Ellaโฆ He can't even take care of me properly,โ I hissed, imitating him.I got out of my room and wanted to take a stroll. โGood morning, ma'am,โ the maids stopped and greeted, which was unusual to me. My parents weren't that rich to have so many maids, so it was awkward.โMorning,โ I said hurriedly, trying to avoid others. โI'm going to take a stroll,โ I said, which was true, but deep inside me I was looking for my boyfriend.โMy cat is not here?โ I mumbled after loo
##Chapter 108Michelle's POV ReassuranceโGood morning, darling.โ Lucian kissed my neck on the bed. Shirtless, revealing his sexy n*pple and abs. โMorning,โ I replied dryly as I stayed in the same position.โMichelle, wake up,โ he whispered to me, but I didn't listen. โI brought you breakfast,โ he mumbled, but I ignored him.โMy love, you are with a child; you don't want to hurt the child, do you?โ Lucian mumbled. โLeave me alone. I'm not hungry.โReally? Are you sure you don't want spicy chicken?โ He asked stylishly as he opened the tray. The smell of the food hit my nose, and I couldn't resist it. 'Wow!โ My hormones couldn't resist it, even though I wasn't in the mood; my body was yearning for it.โI will just throw it away.โ Lucian cleared his throat and wanted to take a step, but he halted when I hugged his thigh. โI will think about it.โ โThink? C'mon, babe, you don't need to stress your little brain; I will throw it away, and we will go on a hunger strike together. You know I
Chapter 107IncapableHarry's POVโIt's weird,โ Elena mumbled beside me with a curious look, but I did everything possible to avoid telling her anything, because she has been trying every means to ask about the situation that happened earlier since we got home. I am too busy to explain the situation to her.โBabe,โ she called. โHuh?โ I turned to her. โWhy are they after her?โ She asked slowly. โAfter whom?โ I acted ignorant.โYou know what I'm talking about, Harry,โ she slapped my arm. โIt was just an accident, the driver was probably drunk. C'mon, baby, don't think too much,โ I replied with a forced smile.โI'm not thinking too much here, and don't take me for a fool, Harry. What's happening? You all seem like you know what's going on, and you, my husband-to-be, refuse to tell me what the problem is.โโYou guys are scaring me,โ she hissed angrily. โWhat are you saying, darling?โ I dropped my phone and pulled her closer. โIt's her family's struggles. It's personal; that's why I decide
##Chapter106His Mansion Bella's POV โMichelle!โ I wanted to follow her, but I was stopped by Darren. โElla, calm downโ he gave me a reassuring look.โLet's goโ Darren motioned me to walk, but I couldn't move immediately as the scene I just witnessed kept reappearing in my head. I watched Lucian's car retreating back, thinking of how shocked she would be.โWhat just happened?โ I mumbled, and Darren breath heavily. โTrust me Ella, we will take care of this.โ โC'mon, let's leave this placeโ he held my hand and placed his other hand on my waist to support me while walking.โOkayโ I nodded subconsciously as I followed him to the car. The silence inside the car made him worried that he checked up on me almost every second. I reached out to my phone, trying to call Michelle, but Darren was quick to understand my intention. โElla stop. He will take care of her.โNot too long,We arrived at his mansion and I was confused because we didn't plan on going there, also that was my first time v
##Chapter 105Bring Him AliveLucian's POV The screech of tires ripped through the air, a sound that sent shivers down my spine and froze my blood. I looked up, my heart leaping into my throat as I saw my wife, oblivious to the danger, stepping out into the street. A car, a blur of metal and headlights, hurtled towards her, with terrible intentions.โMichelle?โ Time seemed to slow down. I was paralyzed for a split second, my mind screaming at me to act, to move, to do something.โMichelle!โ Then, a surge of adrenaline took over, propelling me forward with a force I didn't know I possessed. I lunged, reaching out with all my might, grabbing her arm just as the car wanted to hit her.We tumbled to the pavement, the impact jarring my body. I held her tight, my heart pounding against my ribs. My eyes scanned her face, searching for any sign of injury. โAre you okay, michelle?โ I panicked more, seeing how quiet she was. I knew she was probably more shocked than I was.Relief washed over
##Chapter 104 Hit-and-run Michelle's POV. โOh.โ In an embarrassing move, I took a step back and tried to ask for Lucian's support Lucian, but he had already pulled away. 'Snitch!โ I screamed in my head with an awkward smile. โOh? What if we are actually up to something? He is my boyfriend already!โ โAnd also my boyfriend is not stupid and inconsiderate that would ask for such things here!โ I smiled slightly when she yelled at me, knowing that I was merely trying to hide the fact that I was not purposefully accusing the man. I remained silent because I knew she might lose it if she found out that I thought that of her, and she was furious. I muttered, "I am sorry." She reprimanded me, saying, "You should apologize to my boyfriend, not me," and I laughed at her. "You are now becoming more mature." "I apologize, Mr. Stewart, for misinterpreting you." He was embarrassed by the entire situation, but my friend wasn't, so I bowed a little. She learned from me. How could she possibly
##Chapter 103 In Public Place Michelle's POV It's been a week and my husband has been constantly staying home with me. Working from home was cool, but I couldn't help thinking about Sharon's suspicious move. I stood beside the window thinking about the company, and how quiet everything was. โIt's disturbing,โ I muttered, referring to the silence. Not within the house, but the shareholders are being obedient as well, which was suspicious to Me. My father was still struggling to prove innocent as they kept adjourning the trial. I didn't care to even attend the trials because I knew it would only make me hate him more. I couldn't bring myself to forgive him after everything he did to me. โWifey?โ Lucian hugged me from behind, and kissed my neck softly. โHubbyโ I moaned. โWhy are they so quiet?โ He asked, rubbing my belly softly. โI don't know, hubby. I'm just worriedโ I mumbled. โWorried? Why are you worried, my queen?โ He looked at me. โI can't say, I think some
#Chapter 102Fuvked By The Delivery BoySharon's POVI walked into the mansion with my half-torned dress dragging my feet miserably, as I could believe that I was fuvked for hours only to find out that bastard was a delivery boy trying to impress girls.'I thought he was rich!โ I screamed in my head as I hated myself more. โSharon, you are backโ mom said approaching me. โDid you guys do it?โ She asked with a serious look, and the world became a blurry mess of gray, a muted canvas where the vibrancy of life had been drained away. โSay something, Sharon.โ Every sound, every touch, felt like a dull ache, a constant reminder of the emptiness within. It was as if I were trapped in a silent film, watching the world go by in black and white, while my own heart was a broken record, stuck on the same melancholic tune. The air itself felt heavy, pressing down on me like a physical weight.โSharon!โ โLeave me alone!โ I screamed, not believing what I faced. A little boy fuvked me till day br
