Author: Deer Woods
Elaine rushed to block him. "Gideon, why are you snapping at her? She's devastated right now. Otto came back, and he's been cold to her ever since. He didn't even show up when she was in the hospital for two days.

"And look at what your wife has done. If she hadn't gone around stirring up trouble with her rumors and media campaigns, would Rayne and Otto be in this mess?

"Rayne doesn't want to live anymore, and Connor is still a baby. If something happens to her, what will become of that child?

  • You Had This Divorce Coming   Chapter 378

    The moment Lucille realized something was wrong with her body, she had chosen without hesitation to put herself in Otto's hands rather than have anything more to do with Gideon.That was the choice she had made with the very last of her clear mind.She held nothing against Otto for what happened afterward. The situation had descended into chaos, everything had happened too fast, and she had been left with no other option.Given the choice between Gideon and Otto, her instincts had driven her straight into Otto's arms without a second thought.She could no longer clearly recall what had happened afterward in the car. Still, she could imagine well enough what a situation like that might have led to. Otto had been left with no choice, and even if something had crossed a line between them, she would never hold it against him.As for Gideon, he had even less right to judge Otto for it.What kind of husband was he, really? Every single time she had been in danger, he had chosen Rayne o

    The hallway's harsh white light fell across Gideon's face, leaving him ghostly pale. His expression was so dark it looked almost stormy, which made him even more frightening.Otto drew a deep breath, forced down his own irritation, and met his stare coldly. "Seen enough?"Gideon said nothing. He closed the distance between them until they stood near enough to feel each other's breath."What did you... do to her?" His voice came out painfully hoarse, a clear sign that he was still weak after only just regaining consciousness.Otto let out a short laugh, contempt flashing in his eyes. "Gideon, you should be asking your dear cousin that question. Lucille was kidnapped and drugged. Do you really not know who's responsible?""I'm asking you what you did to her!" Gideon's voice rose and cracked as a vein bulged at his temple. He seized Otto by the collar. "In that car... what happened? How far did it go? Tell me!"The memory of what he had seen through the windshield flooded his vision

    A vein bulged at Gideon's temple as sweat and dust streaked his face, leaving him looking wrecked and half out of his mind.Meanwhile, inside the car, Otto and Lucille might as well have been stranded on an island, cut off from the rest of the world.Every trace of reason had deserted Lucille. All she felt was an unbearable heat that kept building until she thought she might combust. She tugged at her collar without thinking, desperate to shed anything that constricted her. Her fingers caught the top button of her shirt, and she yanked hard.The fabric tore. The button popped free and revealed a sliver of pale skin and the delicate line of her collarbone."Don't, Lucy. Please, come back to yourself." Otto's voice was low and nearly breaking, edged with desperation.He had never faced a woman this wild or consumed by desire, and he had no idea how to hold her off. He simply didn't have enough hands to keep her under control.He pushed her mouth away, only for her arms to wind arou

    Otto did not hesitate again. He swept her into his arms at once, carried her quickly to his car, and locked the doors behind them.Just as he reached for the ignition, Gideon came charging after them again. He pounded on the window and yanked at the handle, trying to force the door open.By now, the drug had completely taken hold of Lucille. It felt as if someone had poured molten lava straight into her veins. Every inch of her skin burned and had become unbearably sensitive. Even the drag of fabric against her body made her writhe."I'm... so... hot..." The words escaped in a broken, tearful voice, so sweet it seemed almost wet to the touch.Her hands rose of their own accord and wrapped around Otto's neck. She climbed over the center console and settled onto his lap.She wound herself around him, and in the cramped confines of the car, he had no room to push her away. Her cheek rubbed desperately against the cool collar of his shirt as her lips searched for any trace of the reli

    Gideon said coldly, "Stay away from my wife.""You've lost it!" Otto and Lucille snapped at him in almost the same breath.Lucille shot Gideon a cold look, then glanced at Rayne on the ground. "Gideon, save your energy for your cousin. I don't need you playing the gentleman for me."The memory of how decisively he had chosen Rayne when forced to pick between them turned her stomach."Are you all right? Are you hurt? Should we get you to a hospital?" Otto asked, his voice full of concern.Lucille smiled faintly and shook her head. "I'm f—"She had meant to say she was fine, but before she could finish, a wave of heat surged through her without warning.The sensation was unmistakably familiar, almost identical to what she had felt that night at the campground.'It can't be!' Lucille's expression darkened at once as dread tightened her chest. 'Could the injection the kidnappers gave me have contained the same drug as before?'She shot Otto an uneasy look.Otto noticed the change

    The kidnappers' real target had always been Lucille. Rayne had never been part of it. Given the situation, maybe the better move was to have them release Rayne while he stayed behind to negotiate.With that thought, Gideon turned to the man holding Rayne and spoke slowly. "Let her go. Let her leave first."Lucille wasn't even surprised. 'So he chose Rayne after all. Again. No exception. Not this time either.'"Fine. You're the one who chose this." The kidnapper's face twisted into a vicious grin as he pulled the gun away from Rayne's temple.Rayne bolted without a second's hesitation.No one noticed the brief flicker of triumph that passed between Rayne and the kidnapper as she ran.She didn't stop until she was 300 feet away. Only then did she realize Gideon hadn't followed her. He was still standing there.Even from that distance, she could clearly hear his steady, resolute voice. "I don't know who your boss is or why he's after my wife, but if this is about money, I have more

    Lucille drove back to Blossom Court, the villa she shared with Gideon.When she pushed open the front door, Grace Lewis, the elderly housekeeper, and Nancy Wells, the maternity nanny Lucille had hired, were playing with the baby.The moment they saw how pale she looked, both women were startled."Ma

    Inside the banquet hall, Lucille kept her eyes fixed on Gideon.He looked flushed and in high spirits as he moved from table to table with Rayne, raising his glass and offering toasts. "My buddy Otto is overseas right now on a confidential infrastructure project. He won't be back for a year, so I'l

    Holding her swaddled daughter, Lucille Sandwell kept her voice steady, though a hint of hope slipped through. "Gideon, today is our daughter's one-month milestone. Can you come pick us up?"On the other end, Gideon Prescott's voice remained even and unreadable. "Something came up. I'll have the driv

    Lucille pressed a hand to her aching lower back. Her whole body trembled, but she smiled coldly.She took two steps forward, then collapsed. Darkness rushed up and swallowed everything.…Gideon took Rayne back to her room.Not long after, his mother, Elaine Greenfeld, arrived with a thermos of
