Te Drive

I stood at the side of the road, holding my bag close. The sky was already dark, the city lights glowing here and there, but all I felt was tiredness. My legs ached from standing all day at work, and my head was heavy from too many thoughts.

All through the day, the whispers of my colleagues followed me. After Lucien made that announcement, the office became like a marketplace of gossip. Who is the bride? Could it be someone from another country? Maybe a business deal? Or… maybe Vanessa, since she was already spreading the rumor herself.

I wanted to laugh when she said it, but instead I forced myself to stay quiet, to keep my face calm. My heart pounded the whole day. No one could know. Not yet. Not when everything was still so dangerous.

Now, at the side of the road, I just wanted a cab to take me far away from all the eyes and voices. But none stopped. Every car passed, and I felt more restless.

Then, a familiar black car slowed in front of me. My breath c

    Chapter 139— The Shopping DayHer POVLucien had been talking about the family dinner since morning. I’d told him I wasn’t going — not after how his family had treated me before. But he didn’t give up.He always had that calm, patient way of making me soften, even when I didn’t want to.“Just this once,” he said, standing in front of me with that quiet, confident look. “You don’t have to prove anything to them. You’re coming with me because you’re my wife, not because they like you.”I looked away, pretending to fix my hair, but my voice came out softer. “You know they don’t want me there, Lucien.”He smiled faintly. “Then let them see what they tried to reject.”That one sentence made my heart skip. I wanted to be angry, but instead, I laughed a little and shook my head. “You always know what to say.”He leaned closer, his breath warm against my ear. “So… is that a yes?”I sighed, pretending to think for a long moment before finally nodding. “Fine. But if anyone insults me, you’re th

    Chapter 138: The Family DinnerAlina’s POVI was sitting on the couch, half focused on the show playing on TV, when Lucien’s phone buzzed.He picked it up, his brows lowering slightly as his eyes scanned the message.“What’s wrong?” I asked, leaning forward.He sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. “It’s a message from the family group chat. My father is hosting a dinner this weekend. Everyone is expected to come… with their partners.”I froze, my fingers curling against the couch. Family dinner.Those two words alone were enough to make my stomach twist.Lucien looked up at me, his expression gentle. “We’ll go together. It’s been months since the last one. I think it’s time.”I shook my head before he could even finish. “No. I’m not going.”He blinked, as if he didn’t hear me properly. “You’re not going?”“I said I’m not.” I turned my gaze away. “Everyone in your family hates me, Lucien. Except Isabella. I don’t see the point of going there and pretending everything is fine.”He le

  • The Secetary’s Secret Marriage   Lucien came

    Chapree 137 - He CameI sensed a presence behind me. Turning, I saw him, Lucien. Tall, calm, precise, the way he always appeared when he wanted to make sure the world around me stayed in order.“Done for the day?” he asked, voice even, but there was a sharpness in his gaze that made me straighten up immediately.“Yes,” I said, trying to sound casual. “And I can go home by myself. I’m not a child anymore.”His lips twitched, almost a smirk, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “Not a child? Alina…” He stepped closer, his presence filling the room. “You may not be little anymore, but you’re still my responsibility.”I rolled my eyes, trying to sound firm, but my chest betrayed me — it tightened at his words. “Lucien, I’m fine. I handled the office without you stepping in today. I can go home on my own.”He shook his head slowly, sighing. “You were never just fine to me. And you never will be. But if you insist…” His voice softened, with just a touch of amusement that made my stomach flip. “F

  • The Secetary’s Secret Marriage   Change

    Chapter 136 - Alina’s PovChange The morning sun spilled gently across the streets as I walked toward the company. The air felt crisp, carrying a faint promise of a new day. Today, I felt lighter, almost like a small weight had lifted from my chest. My new home, Lucien’s words, and the little victories over Dima had given me a sense of control I hadn’t felt in months.As I entered the office, I immediately noticed the change. People who had once barely glanced my way now smiled, greeted me politely, and even went out of their way to be helpful. The whispers I overheard yesterday had vanished, replaced by nods and soft “good mornings.”I could feel it immediately — their kindness wasn’t genuine. I knew it was because of Lucien. The moment they learned he was CEO, the entire dynamic changed. They respected him, so they respected me. But I wasn’t blind to it. I could read the way their eyes lingered a little too long, the way their smiles were just a little too polite. I could feel the

    Chapter 135 - The Law Firm Alina’s Pov I woke to the soft light spilling into the room and a familiar voice teasing me from the doorway.“I have something to show you. You’ll like it,” Lucien said, his tone gentle, but there was a spark in his eyes I hadn’t seen in a while.I blinked, still half-asleep, my body aching slightly from the surgery and everything that had happened. “What… what is it?” I mumbled, my voice hoarse.He stepped closer and brushed a strand of hair from my face. “You’ll see. Just get ready. We’re leaving soon.”Curiosity pricked me, but caution held me back. My body was still recovering. “Lucien… are you sure this is okay? I… I’m not feeling my best,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady.He smiled softly, the kind of smile that always calmed me, but his eyes were serious. “I know. That’s why I’m with you. Don’t worry. Just come with me.”I nodded slowly, forcing myself out of bed. I dressed carefully, choosing something elegant but comfortable. Lucien watche

    Chapter 134 - Disbelief Alina’s POVI walked into our apartment, my heels clicking softly against the floor. The day still felt heavy in my chest , mix of shock, pride, and disbelief. I couldn’t help but smile, shaking my head slightly. Lucien had done it again. He always had a way to surprise me, but this… this was beyond anything I had imagined.I threw my bag on the couch and turned to him, trying to catch his eye. “You have a way to surprise me always, Lucien,” I said, my voice soft but full of awe.He looked up from the papers he was reviewing at the dining table. His sharp eyes softened when they met mine, and a small smile tugged at the corner of his lips. “I’ll always care for you,” he said quietly, almost like a vow. “And I won’t let anything hurt you, Alina. Not ever.”I felt my chest tighten. Those words carried the weight of all the fear he had hidden, the worry he’d swallowed, the sleepless nights he had endured to protect me. For a moment, I wanted to run to him, throw
