The Abandoned Wife Lucian の小説・ストーリー

“But why, Gamma? Is everything alright?” Lucian sighed heavily on the other end. “My pregnant wife fainted just an hour ago, and I rushed her to the hospital to have her checked out. It was an unexpected pregnancy, and considering her age, her situation is delicate. I can’t leave her like this and plan on staying at her side to take care of her. I hope you understand.” My heart suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Mr. Lucian Fox. He seemed so caring and devoted to his wife. I softened my voice, trying to convey my understanding and compassion.

Lucian clenched his fists as they stood face to face. “Why did you really come here?” Lucian muttered coldly. “Spare me the devoted husband act. I remember your little stunt two years ago. The stupid woman you used to set me up. I just didn’t have enough proof to destroy you.” “Careful, Mr. Rodriguez,” Caspien replied quietly. “For someone who brands himself a champion of women, you’re quick to speak with contempt. The image doesn’t quite match the man.” Lucian’s eyes hardened. “At least I didn’t marry for competition. I married for love, you helped me with your devious plans and now I am a happy man with my Rose, my queen.”

He completed his sentence and plopped down onto the sofa with a hectic look on his face. Avelina gazed at him, and with her hands balled into a tight fists, she pulled the door open. "I am not your wife, and never will I be!" She declared and stormed out of the room. Lucian pinched between his brows and lowered his head in deep stress. "What a headache!" He complained and lay down on the couch. ———- Across the long table, Lucian's father, Lehalt de' Cole, sat opposite a middle-aged man who appeared to be his age.

“ you look like you could use some company “ Lucian spoke , a teasing edge to his voice. Evelyn barely looked up ,her mind elsewhere. “ I’m fine , thanks “ “ oh really ? “ He smirked , a teasing smile on his face. “ i just thought you might want to know where your husband has been spending his time with …… my wife and his …… his ex wife “ Evelyn’s head snapped up , anger flashing in her eyes. “ what are you talking about ? “ Lucian shrugged his shoulder , his tone casual but his eyes sharp. “ I mean , if you really want to see for yourself. I can take you to him “

Not by a long shot. And yet... Lucian stood there calmly, unbothered by the chaos he had just unleashed. His hands were casually tucked into the pockets of his expensive slacks. He didn't even blink. He tilted his head slightly, his gaze locked on Caleb like a predator watching prey. “Yes,” Lucian said, his voice low and definitive. “Raina Drayden. My wife.” Raina’s heart thudded painfully in her chest. Lucian’s gaze flickered toward her briefly — something dark and unreadable in his expression — before he turned back to the room at large.

Then he’d hung up on me. “Is that so,” I said, my expression blank. “Betrayed you how exactly?” “She was my wife. But she cheated on me,” Lucian replied curtly. “She had an affair with another man and became pregnant with his child. It destroyed our marriage. Hence the hatred towards her.” “Hmmm,” I replied, narrowing my eyes. “And you had proof, did you? That this child wasn’t yours? That your wife, in fact, betrayed you?”

“Family. The company. The legacy.” “And all of that matters more than the woman who nearly died saving you?” Leonard looked away. “This isn’t about right or wrong,” he said flatly. “It’s about being realistic.” Sebastian let out a short laugh. “Realistic? You call abandoning your wife in that condition… realistic?” Leonard didn’t react. He simply took another sip. “Taking care of her won’t change anything. Surgeries, therapy… all of that just prolongs something that can’t be fixed.”

Elena got inside. Lucas noticed the anger in her face immediately. “Who was it?” Elena stared out the window for a moment before answering. “Adrian’s uncle.” Lucas frowned. “The billionaire investor?” “Yes.” “What did he want?” Elena’s voice hardened. “He’s the one who destroyed my marriage.” Lucas’s eyes widened. “You’re serious?” Elena nodded. “He arranged everything.” Lucas leaned back in shock. “Why?” Elena looked straight ahead. “Because Adrian was planning to leave his company for me.”

Liliana walks towards her and rests her head on his chest with a soft sob. " I was too scared. What if we lost our baby? She is suffering because of us. I shouldn't have gone to that bar and met you. Now she is getting hurt because of our mistake!" " She isn't a mistake. Don't use such a stupid word." He roars coldly, pushing Liliana away. " What should I say then? I didn't know you were an heir. Now you have a wife. On top of that, you are planning to abandon us!"

"And you thought you'd walk into my house, use my wife, and I'd never know?" Leon lifted his head, blood dripping from his nose. "I didn’t think I’d live long, anyway. That’s the cost of working for them. They don’t let loose ends live." Lucian gave a sharp laugh. "Then let me do them the favor." He turned and walked out, the door slamming behind him. He didn’t even look back as the man screamed to the heavens. --- Toward the hours of early morning, Lucian sat in his study, sipping whiskey in the dim golden light. The reports Nico had compiled were stacked before him, confirming everything
