The Return of the French Tycoon Chapter 43
Duncan returned home after dealing with the mob, ensuring that his men found out all about Jacopo’s criminal works. When he returned to Lecomte’s huge apartment, he answered several work calls. For now, Rosalie was protected. He had placed more of his men around the house, and in his work. He also observed through the cameras that he owned in his company everything that she did. He also observed Louie, apparently his younger brother was quiet. Due to Rosalie’s recent success, he imagined that the man was holding out on the shore. Duncan did not nail his eye that night, Rosalie’s sweet scent was still intense in his mind, the touch of his hands on her skin, the way her body had corresponded to him... All that tormented him in a maddening way, all he wanted at that moment was to get up from his bed and follow up to his keys, take his car and drive to the mansion. He wanted to enter his old house, walk to his old room and tear off his wife’s clothes, have her in his arms, kiss ev

Duncan returned to Lecomte’s apartment. When the man lay in his bed, he remembered his daughter, doing everything to make him reveal himself. He sighed heavily, aware that it was not time to do that. How would you explain something that even he didn’t understand? What if she even suspected something was wrong, didn’t believe him and told Rosalie everything? If he were seen by his family as a crazy tax and decided to drive him away he would not stand... Duncan decided to change things. The lack Rosalie made was crushing him deeply, but she knew she would not let him get close to her while her heart was so clinging to the memory of her former self. She still saw and behaved as Duncan Valois' wife, not as his widow. He was in Lecomte’s body, he needed to conquer it. The man got up from the bed and walked to the desk, taking paper and pen, he began his plan. [...] When Rosalie crossed the living room, she dropped her purse on a small table and sat sighing. The woman took one o

The girl was momentarily paralyzed. François had almost his whole body on his mother, she pronounced: " Mother? "The man stood up in an instant, and Angelika did not stay to see how indecent her mother was. The girl ran down the big house, down some stairs towards the secret family room. I felt I needed to be alone. She heard the voices coming after her, and the steps getting closer. Angelika finally reached the secret room, and used facial recognition to enter. The girl entered the room without windows, she ran her hands across her face and sighed. His heart was pounding. Her mother and François were together, she thought. [...] Rosalie stood up from the couch, her face burning as Angelika ran through the room. " Wait, Rosalie! " François held her by the arm and wrapped her in his coat. By God... she was just wearing a bra. She nodded, unable to look him in the eye. I was terribly embarrassed. The woman got rid of the man and followed behind Angelika, heading toward

The woman looked at the advertising in front of her, the marketing had done an excellent job in publicizing her new pieces. All the latest on the market. She was standing, partially sitting on her own desk behind her. In front of him, the picture with the marketing work, and Leonor was next to him. Rosalie had her hair tied back, and wore a dark coat. " When will this campaign be launched? " asked Leonor. The secretary replied promptly: " In a week’s time, ma'am." Rosalie did the math. Then the campaign of the new model of car parts of the Lecomte Group would come out earlier. " Get him out in two days. " she said. Leonor looked at her surprised, it was the same day that Lecomte’s campaign would come out. However, she would not miss launching at the country’s big car event. It was a great opportunity. " The Lecomte group will see this as a personal attack, the other companies do not launch their products on the same day as them." recalled the secretary. " I don’t care."

She trembled, smelling his pleasant, masculine smell. François had an overwhelming effect on Rosalie, making her feel nervous in her presence. The fact that he was so confident and self-assured could have something to do with it. The man seemed to desire her intensely, but when the woman looked into her eyes, there seemed to be something deeper and more complex behind her advances. Rosalie retreated, separating them both from that fiery closeness. The woman looked up to aim at those green eyes, determined to put an end to it. Even if I had given in that day by kissing him... I knew I wasn’t ready to stop being Duncan’s wife. It didn’t matter if he was dead. She opened her mouth, but before she could speak the words, he interrupted her: " Don’t say anything. I know what you’ll say, and I ask you not to." She blinked, unable to understand it, he was trying to silence her so he wouldn’t dismiss him? " I know you’re afraid of what you feel. I can’t just say not to, you don’t kn

Everyone in the lobby watched the woman, who was not intimidated by the looks or even the cameras. Rosalie knew that was her intention, to put her through that embarrassment, to punish her daughter for not giving up her money. Rosalie felt a knot form in her throat, every step she took toward the woman who was her mother. When Agrippina saw her approaching she turned immediately to her, her frown was visible. Your brother was at your side, and Rosalie knew that plan was his. " Finally! The great CEO of the Empire group is here. See how I’m dressed, touch my face and see how sweaty and sick I am. That’s what you get after caring for a daughter all your life. After dedicating my best years to a daughter, that’s what I get! " Agrippina exclaimed. Rosalie looked into the woman’s eyes, and without a word, nodded to the security guards waiting for her orders. She turned her back and just listened as her mother and brother were dragged out of the building. Rosalie knew that would be

They didn’t stay more than one night at the hotel. Duncan returned to his apartment and Rosalie to the manor. He felt a knot forming in his chest, but could not let those feelings shake him. The man took his place as the leader of the mafia, even though many of the criminals had been arrested and their illegal business had been discovered. He managed to get rid of those who still had some loyalty to their former boss. After a lengthy investigation, Duncan learned more about the kidnapping attempt. Duncan got a confession from the men who tried to kidnap Rosalie. They had been paid by someone from the Empire to kill her. It wasn’t a kidnapping like he imagined...

Rosalie clearly witnessed the inevitable unfolding of that situation. The kiss hovered in the air, as if it were destined to happen, and his heart began to beat wildly in his chest. A gasp escaped his lips, revealing his perplexity at what was about to unfold. As much as he tried to understand his own motivations, everything seemed to escape his grasp. The sight of the man leaning toward her made her shudder, not because she didn’t want that kiss, but because she desperately wanted it, and it terrified her. Without thinking twice, Rosalie raised her trembling hand and struck an audible slap against François' face. The sound of the impact reverberated in the air, plunging them into a sepulchral silence. The bright red on the side of the man’s face was visible evidence of the impulsive act he had just committed. She waited, tense, for the protest she hoped to receive in response. Uncertainty hovered in the air, as he did not know François well enough to predict his reactions, e
