Being Mr. Hunt's Wife Chapter 54: Stepped into a crosshair
Audrey went to visit Lucuis at Hunt Group, she sat on the leather sofa in his office, sipping her tea. She wore a modest beige dress. She looked exactly like a billionaire’s wife was supposed to look.Lucius sat behind his desk and watched her."The tea is wonderful, Lucius," Audrey said. Her voice was soft and pitched to sound sweet and agreeable. "I really appreciate you taking the time to see me today. I know how busy you are with the Takahashi project.""It is a brief break," Lucius replied. His voice was flat.He studied her face. This was supposed to be the woman he married. The woman his grandmother, Mabel, swore was special. But sitting across from her, all Lucius felt was a mild, scratching irritation. She was polite and agreeable. She would make a good public impression. But she didn't feel like Lily.The Lily he texted late at night was stubborn. She fought back, she also had a sharp tongue and a fierce sense of pride. The woman sitting on his sofa just smiled and nodded at
Being Mr. Hunt's Wife CHAPTER 53: You're married?To my boss
"Alura, there's something I have to tell you." Audrey reached across the small café table and covered Alura's hand with her own. She looked really worried and hesitant. Alura wondered what it might be, that she had to invite her over for tea, very early on a Saturday. "It's about.... Lucius Hunt." Alura paused, her coffee cup hovering halfway to her mouth. She felt a sudden spike of anxiety in her chest. Did something happen, besides how did she know her boss? "What about him?" Alura asked. She set her cup down so she wouldn't spill it. Audrey offered a shy, secretive smile. "I.... I'm married to him." The words landed like a physical blow to Alura's stomach. Alura went still. The clattering plates and the chatter of the other people in the cafe faded into the background. She stared at Audrey, waiting for her to shout it's a joke. But Audrey just kept smiling coyly, squeezing her hand. "You're married?....To my boss?" Alura managed to whisper. It would have been diffe
Being Mr. Hunt's Wife CHAPTER 52: self-defense
"He knows! Grey, he knows everything!"Elena yelled in panic. She stood in the middle of the living room, trembling so hard she looked like she might collapse.Grey looked at his mother’s pale, terrified face in confusion. "Who knows what? Mother, breathe. Tell me what happened."Elena grabbed his arms, her nails digging into his shirt. "Victor Crane," she choked out. "He called me. He found the old suppressed police files. He knows, Grey. He knows I pushed your father down the stairs."Abigail who was still sitting frozen on the sofa, immediately felt goosebumps.Grey's eyes widened. His storm-grey eyes locked onto his mother's face."Y-you pushed him?" Grey asked. His voice was dangerously low.Elena squeezed her eyes shut, hot tears spilling over her cheeks. "He was going to kill me, Grey. He was drunk. He had his hands around my throat. I just pushed back. And he....He fell. I swear I didn't mean to kill him, but I left him there. I covered it up." She sobbed, her knees buckling.
Being Mr. Hunt's Wife CHAPTER 51: A family of criminals.
"I once put you in jail. You belong in jail."Federal Prosecutor Victor Crane slammed the cardboard box onto his desk. A thick cloud of dust kicked up into the air but he ignored it. He pulled out a stack of yellow files, his eyes burning with anger.He hated the name Grey Knight. He hated the towering glass skyscraper of ECO Oils that dominated Ashford Bay's skyline. But most of all, Victor hated himself for letting Grey slip through his fingers.Victor was the only man who had ever succeeded in taking down the notorious mob boss. He had built the case. He had stood in the courtroom and watched the judge sentence Grey. Victor had felt like a god that day.Then, exactly two years later, Grey walked free.For good behavior, and a deal with the government for early release due to Ashford Bay heavily depending on his oil. They only gave him a strict probation requirement that forced the mobster into a sudden marriage.It made Victor physically sick. Grey was walking the streets, wear
Being Mr. Hunt's Wife CHAPTER 50: Finally met his contract wife
At the mention of Wife the receptionist looked stunned, was this the same wife that caused a huge ruckus online?She had to rethink, maybe this lady is lying to get the CEO's attention, afterall CEO Hunt usually has lots of obsessed stalkers."Did you have an appointment?" The receptionist asked, sizing her up."I'm sorry to come without an appointment." Audrey planted both hands on the reception desk, flashing a rehearsed smile. "But I think your boss knows me as Lily."The receptionist paused, her fingers hovering over the keyboard. She frowned slightly. CEO Hunt did not take walk-ins. Ever. But the woman standing in front of her spoke with absolute, unshakable confidence."One moment, please," the receptionist said. She pressed the intercom button connecting directly to the executive secretary’s desk. It rang twice.But Alura was not at her desk. She was out of the building running an errand.A sharp click echoed through the speaker. Lucius Hunt answered the line himself. "Miss Wa
Being Mr. Hunt's Wife Chapter 49: sheer dumb luck
Audrey sat on the floor of her living room, surrounded by papers.Her laptop glowed brightly in the dimly lit apartment. The screen was filled with tabs. Dozens of them. All about Lucius Hunt.Since her visit to Alura’s apartment, Audrey had done nothing but research. She already knew the basics, of course. Everyone in Cedarville knew who Lucius Hunt was. But now, she read everything she could get her hands on.She scrolled through financial reports detailing his staggering net worth. She read profiles about his background and his ruthless rise to the top. She scanned gossip columns talking about his untouchable reputation. He was cedarville's ice prince. And he had been strictly celibate since his broken engagement three years ago.Audrey clicked on a gallery of photos.She stared at the screen, her lips parting slightly. He was, without a doubt, really handsome and hot. The sharp jawline, the cat shaped dark eyes, the broad shoulders, the long hair, tailored suits and patek wrist wa

Being Mr. Hunt's Wife CHAPTER 3: I'm Saving Myself
Something smelled off the moment Alura opened her apartment door. It smelled like cigar. Expensive, thick and choking cigar. She pushed the door open quietly and her stomach immediately dropped. Percy Miller sat on their couch like it was a throne. His legs were spread wide, and his expensive s

"I'm sorry," Alura said wiping off her messy face. "I didn't mean to impose. I can go." "It's okay, sit." The old woman insisted gently. "Have tea first, then we'll talk." The woman had led Alura into the temple's tea room. Alura sat down with hesitation, she suddenly became aware of how dishev

"Dad." Alura Wayne called out shakily as if she was dreading her father's response. She stood in the cramped living room of their apartment, the walls peeling like dead skin, the single bulb dim as usual. Across from her, was her father who slumped over the kitchen table like a finished man,
