Alle Kapitel von Claiming His Plus Size Contract Wife: Kapitel 31 – Kapitel 40

The morning sun rose high above the bustling financial district, casting bright golden beams across the glass skyscrapers. Inside the grand, luxurious penthouse, the atmosphere was quiet and calm.Alessia stood by the large kitchen counter, enjoying a cup of warm tea. She felt a deep sense of peace in her heart. Yesterday’s confrontation with Clara was behind them, and her bond with Lucien felt stronger than ever. She knew that living in a wealthy family meant dealing with difficult people like Clara, but she was no longer afraid. She had found her voice, and she had her husband standing firmly by her side.Across the room, Avery was quietly wiping down the marble countertops with a damp cloth. The red mark on her cheek from the previous day had faded into a faint pink, and she looked much more relaxed today."Good morning, Mrs. Alessia," Avery said with a polite, cheerful smile as she worked."Good morning, Avery," Alessia replied warmly. "How is your face feeling today?""Much bette

"Listen to me very carefully, Clara," Victoria said slowly, every word dripping with calculated malice. "Do not let her win. Do not let a low-class parasite destroy everything your family stands for.""Of course I won't let her win!" Clara snapped back defensively, though her voice carried a note of exhausted frustration. "I have tried insulting her, I have tried exposing her, but nothing seems to break her confidence anymore. She just stands there looking at me with those calm, stupid eyes like she is untouchable.""Then you are fighting her the wrong way," Victoria instructed coldly, a wicked plan already forming in her sharp, calculating mind. "You don't need to scream at her in the hallways, Clara. You need to make her feel so small, so unwanted, and so completely out of place that she packs her own bags and runs away crying."Clara stopped pacing as the elevator finally came to a smooth halt in the underground parking garage. The metal doors slid open, revealing the dim, concrete

The morning sun crept slowly through the large glass window of the bedroom, casting soft golden lines across the wooden floor. The room was very quiet.Alessia opened her eyes slowly. For a few seconds, she just lay there, feeling the warmth of the room. Then she remembered last night. Her cheeks turned a bright, warm pink. She turned her head slightly and looked beside her.Lucien was still sleeping. His face, usually so cold and strict when he was at work, looked very calm and peaceful right now. One of his strong arms was still wrapped securely around her waist, holding her close to his body. A few dark strands of hair fell across his forehead.Alessia smiled softly. Last night was very emotional. He had come home carrying the heavy weight of a broken company and millions of dollars lost. He looked so tired and broken. But in the quiet safety of the night, they had found comfort in each other.Then, suddenly, reality hit Alessia like cold water.Her eyes went wide. She sat up strai

lThe air inside the small, dingy office near the industrial docks was thick and hot. A single ceiling fan spun slowly overhead, making a loud clicking noise as it pushed stale air around the room.Evander sat back in his creaky chair with a wide, arrogant smile on his face. He leaned his feet up onto the scratched wooden desk, crossing his ankles. On the cheap plastic laptop in front of him, the stock market graphs showed red lines and falling numbers."Look at that, Liora," Evander laughed, pointing a finger at the screen. "Look at how fast his stock prices are dropping. Lucien Vance thought he was untouchable. He thought he could take everything from us and get away with it. But today, we hit him right where it hurts. We took millions of dollars from him in less than an hour."Liora was standing by the small window, looking out through the dirty glass at the grey industrial street below. She held a cup of cheap instant coffee in her hands, her face twisted into a smug, cruel grin.

The morning sunlight flooded the grand penthouse living room, casting a warm golden glow across the polished floors. Alessia sat comfortably on the white sofa, resting a soft cushion behind her back. Since Dr. Helen’s visit and the earth-shattering news of the baby, Lucien had turned into the most attentive husband on earth. He had canceled his early morning meetings to stay home with her, making sure Avery brought up fresh fruit, warm tea, and everything she could possibly need."Lucien, you really don't have to stay home today," Alessia smiled gently, watching him sit across from her with a tablet in hand, keeping one eye on his work and the other completely focused on her. "Your company needs you.""My company can run itself for one day," Lucien replied smoothly, his dark eyes softening as he looked at her. "My priority right now is right here."Before Alessia could blush and answer, the private elevator chime chimed softly in the foyer.Avery walked out from the kitchen to check t
