บททั้งหมดของ My Ex-husbands Want Me Back: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

Martin’s POVI never expected my grandmother's vile words. She was strict, judgemental, and controlling, which I knew before. But then after I had been away from the family for so long, I expected that she would have toned down on her habit. But I was wrong. I regretted not warning Lucille about her beforehand. On the other hand, Lucille froze and I could literally see the steam bouncing from her. The other family members were all quiet too and they had eyes on Lucille, waiting to see what her next action would be. “Can’t you speak? Do you want to stand before me and keep mute?” My grandmother continued, her expression looking displeased like always. “I–”“Yes, she will.” I cut Lucille off before she could speak. I didn't want to put any emotional burden on her, that she wasn't prepared for.“What did you say?” She turned to me, frowning. “Grandmother, Lucille has no obligation to answer to you. Whatever she wears, is hers to decide.” I said out loud and gasps echoed through the

Kent’s POVAfter leaving Lucille’s side so early, I really wanted to see her again. Letting her be with Martin all alone, for too long, I knew that sly bastard was going to entice her and make her fall for him. I didn't want that. I still wanted Lucille to be mine and right now, I was getting dressed as quickly as I could, so I could attend the Luther family event.Everything Martin and I planned went well and he will be voted in as the chairman. Lucille will stand by his side as his wife, but even though I knew it was all pretense, it irked me. It meant that I might have to give up ever claiming Lucille as mine to the public if she never eventually broke away from Martin. I knew of this, but I still went ahead to consent to the plan. I just wanted things to go well for Lucille. I rushed into the car, instructing the driver to take me straight to where the event would be held. When I reached, Martin had already sent an attendant to lead me to the VIP room where he was with Lucille.

Lucille’s POV“Welcome aboard.” The board of directors and shareholders came up to greet Martin and I. I smiled all through the exchange and my cheeks were already hurting from how much I had to smile. “When will it end?” I whispered to Martin, my feet already cramping up in the heel I wore. “Soon. Are you tired? You should go take a rest.” Martin urged. “I will continue attending to them here.”His offer was enticing but I knew not to be a bitch and run away. He was already doing so much for me and all I had to do was just stay by his side. “No, I will stay.” I shook my head. “This is the least I can do.”“Alright. But you can go for a restroom break instead.” He suggested. “Hm..hmmm…” I nodded my head, saying I would do that later. I tightened my hand around his arm while we continued to greet the guests. There seemed to be no end to it as almost everyone wanted to familiarize themselves with the new chairman and his wife. However, just when I thought the guests were starting

Lucille’s POVAs Vanessa was scrambling to explain herself to Brandon, I knew it was my cue to leave. I couldn't go back to Martin at the event hall so I quickly sent a text to Kent. As I typed on my phone and proceeded to walk out, Brandon stood in my way. “Lucille, wait.” He held my hand as well. “What do you want?” I asked, wiggling my hand out of his grasp. He looked troubled as he swiped his hand through his hair again and again and then placed his hands on his waist. “Tell me, why are you with that bastard? Because he is a Luth heir?” He asked. “Brandon!” Vanessa called out, enraged that he was speaking to me. However, he didn't pay any heed to her as he continued to look at me. “Why should I tell you that?” I sneered. “It’s none of your business–”“It is my business!” He snapped at me, stepping closer and I had to lean further into the wall. “You are my woman! And I wouldn't let you slip away from my hands!”His words sounded like what a deranged man would say and if h

Lucille’s POV“What do you say, huh?” He nudged me with his lips. I sighed, wrapping my hands tightly around him while I rested on his shoulder. “I don’t know what to say, Kent. Wouldn't it be too overwhelming for me?” Handling two men, whether it was pretense or not, was wild to me. But I couldn't deny that these two men were slowly creeping into my heart. “I will make it less overwhelming. I will be your comfort behind the scenes…” He assured me, his voice sounded so enticing that I couldn't refuse. “Please, don’t refuse me.” He whispered in my ear, and at the same time, he bit my earlobe, making me shake in his arms. “Alright.” I smiled, but my smile was hidden behind his neck. If he only knew the excitement and thrill that coursed through my body because of the prospect of what he was proposing. Spending time with Martin was already thrilling enough, but Kent was going to bring a wild vibe I looked forward to. “That’s my girl.” He nudged me to look at him and then kissed me
