Poor Heir Millionaire 23
We had to wait a short while at the bus stop across the highway.Thankfully, my backpack felt light, carrying only the dirty clothes from the previous day. Otherwise, I would have grown weary standing there under the darkening sky.Throughout the entire journey back home, I fell into a deep sleep on Jack's comfortable shoulder. Despite having secured the window seat this time, I didn't get a chance to glimpse the scenery due to my exhaustion.I felt his fingers gently caressing the back of my hand in colorful, vibrant dreams that felt almost too real to believe. Before me was a different world, where I lived carefree with Jack, our children, my mother, and the kids from the foster home.I wasn't entirely sure why the setting was a beach I'd never visited since I'd never ventured beyond Ellijay. All I could distinguish was that we were running around in the warm sand, laughing and tumbling to the ground amid laughter.It was unquestionably a good dream, the best I'd had in years, and I

I was extremely worried, so at times, I'd gaze at him, increasing the strength of my grip, hoping to transfer some of my energy through our intertwined fingers.He would smile sweetly at me, sometimes kissing my forehead under his mother's watchful eye, then returning his sad gaze back to the window.It was a slow journey due to the bad weather; the roads were somewhat slippery. Nevertheless, that didn't hinder us from reaching Atlanta in the early hours of the next day.Despite the heavy snowfall resembling more of a storm, I could still see the beautiful architecture of the city. Buildings soared high into the sky; some seemed made entirely of glass while others were adorned in metallic hues. Everywhere I looked, there were various advertisements, colorful signs, and vibrant lights that left me speechless due to their beauty.It was entirely different from what I was accustomed to—a whole new world.The car took us through the dark streets, from the poorest to the most ostentatious

Despite telling him that everything would be fine, even after comforting him for a long while, Jack continued to maintain a distant attitude toward me.I had tried to smile a bit and engage in trivial conversation while we had breakfast, but it had been in vain. I could easily tell that something truly serious was bothering him.Some issue unknown to me tormented him, enough to make him lose the joy that characterized him. However, I chose not to ask about it, convinced that he would tell me on his own when he was ready.He left after brushing his teeth, leaving me entirely alone in that place but with a little money he had given me to buy whatever I fancied, which was almost negligible at that moment.So, I occupied myself by keeping my mind busy washing our clothes, organizing every corner of the place, cleaning the accumulated dust, but by the time everything sparkled perfectly, it was well past noon.I quickly showered in that spectacular bathroom, dressed in the first clothes I f

I don't remember how long we stood there, staring deeply into each other's eyes.I hoped to somehow find the answers I needed in the depths of his gaze, but it was impossible no matter how hard I tried.Jack wore a mixture of concern and confusion at seeing me in that state, having me standing there just a few steps away, unable to speak due to the panic coursing through my veins.I feared discovering that everything Deborah had said was true, as deep down, I still held on to the hope that Jack hadn't lied to me for so long.I wanted to believe in him, in his words and actions, but a small part of me doubted the sincerity of our relationship.One side of me needed to ensure right away that he truly cared for me and that it wasn't just a game, that these feelings were mutual and not as Deborah had suggested, a way to toy with my emotions for mere amusement."Are you okay, Lucy?" he asked, terrified by my silence, coupled with my face contorted in deep disappointment. "Why are you cryin

To my surprise, we managed to sleep deeply in that huge bed, wrapped up under the warm covers.My dreams were confusing, wandering through incomprehensible lights and colors, accompanied by the same words in a whisper that repeated over and over, causing me a bit of discomfort.To my bitter surprise, upon waking up, I remembered absolutely nothing of what I had heard, let alone what little I had glimpsed.The radiant sun had mischievously slipped through the room's windows, compelling me to abruptly open my eyes. I scanned the room, hoping to find Jack by my side, but he was nowhere to be seen.I got up, puzzled, rubbing my eyes with the back of my hands, and lazily yawned as I made my way to the kitchen, where I found the handsome guy dressed in a suit, sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper.He was enjoying breakfast, completely oblivious to my presence.Standing in the middle of the room in total silence, I watched as he sipped a cup of coffee and took a bite of his toas

Laughing slyly at his pleas, I stopped, leaving him totally lost, since I had suddenly cut off that incredible sensation. He followed me with his gaze in surprise, anxious for me to continue as soon as possible.I released his hands, allowing him to do whatever he wanted to me.He sat up in the middle of the bed, grabbed me by the waist and helped me sit on him, placed his thick hands on my hips with desire, and then began to move them in that crazy rhythm that we loved so much.I let out several moans of pleasure as he kissed my neck and every nook and cranny in his path.“You're cruel," he moaned, his voice cracking.“I know you like it when I am.”“No way, you were playing with me... Lucy.”“Ah... I love you…” I sighed, my mind going blank at every thrust. “It feels great... I love having you inside me.”“Yes?”“Come inside…”“Your wish is my command, baby....”He violently laid me down on my back on the bed, knelt in front of me, biting his lips, marveling at my words. Immediatel

"I have something important to announce!" he exclaimed, grabbing the champagne glass from his mother's side, leaving her flabbergasted as he lifted it up in the air, sporting a mocking smile. Unfortunately, I couldn't help but chuckle quietly at his playful antics."What is it, dear?" Victoria asked, clinking her glass with his, eagerly anticipating the news.Jack winked at me, signaling that he was ready for whatever would come out of his mouth, while his mother resigned herself completely, letting her surgically altered face rest on her hand, expressionless at Jack's actions, perhaps because she was starting to suspect his plans."Vico..." he murmured, earning a delighted gaze from his fiancée. Kind and as charming as ever, he took one of her hands and caressed it so tenderly that I felt a pang of jealousy seeing them."I'm not going to marry you, Vico," he said. "I don't love you. I'm in love with Lucy, and no matter what you do, my feelings for her won't change. So, I prefer we ca

I heard his voice saying my name, saw his terrified face imagining what happened to me, and then, just before the car could hit me in my deep sleep, I abruptly opened my eyes.The scent of potent medicines filled my nostrils. I looked around, completely confused to be in that place when moments ago, I was on the road, chatting with Jack.I sat up abruptly in the middle of the hospital bed, a saline bag connected to my right arm through a needle.I felt a sharp, short pain in my head, but it was bearable. My chest heaved rapidly due to my accelerated breathing.People in a much worse state than mine were around me, some sleeping, and others talking to their respective doctors.I ripped the needle out forcefully to get off the bed and walk out without any issue, searching for Jack.Why wasn't he by my side? What had happened exactly?I took a few steps before feeling a dizzying swirl in my head, accompanied by the urge to vomit churning inside me.One of the hospital nurses stopped in f
