Chapter 3

Lucian got to the police station and was taken to the questioning room with his wrists still handcuffed.

He was pushed down to take a seat, and an officer took a seat in front of him with a long slim table separating them.

“What happened? Why did you run away from the crime scene? Was it intentional?” 

Lucian just stared at him for some minutes before proceeding to talk 

“It was not intentional. It was a hit and run, not intentional” Lucian said, trying to defend himself for the crime he did not commit.

The police officer just kept pressing his laptop without glancing at Lucian. He spent thirty minutes in the questioning room before another cop came in.

“Let me see,” the second cop beckoned to the first cop. They left to see each other and after a few minutes, the first cop came back and uncuffed Lucian.

“Lucky you, the victim's family have agreed to a settlement,”

Lucian's eyes widened, “Kelsea kept her promise but I never expected it to be this fast,” He thought as he stood up.

Lucian stepped out of the questioning room twisting his wrist then headed outside the police station.

He trekked home, and after two hours he arrived home.

Lucian faced the Mansion, he entered the gate and was welcomed with loud noises of music and celebration.

“Is Kelsea celebrating our anniversary without me?? She couldn't possibly do that when she knew it was because of her I went to the police station” He muttered to himself as he made his way inside.

Lucian opened the entrance door and walked inside the living room, as the living room had decorations, different colours of light and banging music playing giving the vibe of a club, or a party.

It was as if an intruder had come in, everywhere became silent, and everyone in the living room threw an irritated look. Lucian is good looking but his poor nature chases people away from him.

The people whispered and murmured loudly, enough for him to hear not caring to know if the words would hurt him, they didn't bother that he could hear them but instead continued their hurtful words and hateful glares.

It was a surprising thing to Lucian because ever since he got married to Kelsea, he had always received hurtful words several times so he was used to it 

He scanned the room, and could not find Kelsea. He saw Ella staring at him as she gulped down some liquor.

“Worthlessness in-law,” Ella mumbled and he read her lips and got what she said despite the noise 

Lucian glanced around one more time hoping to see Kelsea but did not see her. He went upstairs to his room, the room he shared with Kelsea when he received the shock of his life.

His wife was getting screwed by another man on their bed. Lucian's eyes widened.

“Kelsea!!” 

She stopped riding him and then got off his body as she covered her naked thigh with the long gown she wore.

“How come you are back so fast? Who released you? Did you run away??”

Lucian felt like screaming. His wife is in bed with another man on their wedding anniversary night. He almost went to jail for her, and the best she could do was to cheat on him when he was alive.

Was he truly thrown to the police intentionally, because it was barely a day before she organised a party and brought a man into the house?

“Kelsea, I thought you hate parties, why are you throwing a party for our anniversary?”  He asked and Kelsea rolled her eyes.

“I don't hate parties. And can't you see that someone who knows my value threw a party for me? Or are you blind now?" She asked and Lucian furrowed his brows.

“ Someone who knows your value? So you're saying I don't know your value because I couldn't throw a party for you? Were you, not the one that told me that you hate parties, you even brought him into the bedroom, don't you fear the oath we shared on the altar?” He asked and Kelsea sneered.

“Are you now this gullible? Lucian, If you knew my value, why didn't you throw a party for our anniversary despite when I said I hate parties, I don't think I ever said that to you. And bringing a man to the bedroom is none of your business, are you not ashamed you married me to take me out of the market and yet, I still live in my father's house? You could not afford a common house. Marrying you is my biggest mistake” Kelsea humped in annoyance and Lucian sighed. He knew where she was heading, and he was trying hard to avoid that conversation because it might end up in an argument.

“Who's he?? And please tell him to leave ” He stated, and Kelsea chuckled sarcastically.

“He should leave because you are the owner of the house, why are stupid??? Do you know who he is?? His name alone can buy your entire generation, and crumble it down like a piece of cake”

“I know, who the hell is he??” He said. He's angry about the fact that he was deceived and betrayed. His dear wife cheated on him without feeling remorseful, and she has the guts to let a man who's not her husband throw a wedding anniversary party for him, she lied to him that she hates parties to have that chance to hurl insults at him, making him run wild.

"Melvin Banks,” Kelsea said and Melvin, who had been on the bed all this while, stood up from the bed, and Lucian glared at him with pure hatred on his face. So the man who threw a party for his wife still dares to touch her sexually.

From his clothes, Lucian could tell that he was a billionaire.

Was he showing off his wealth? Or was he trying to steal his wife away from him?

“ Why would you throw a party for our anniversary, who are you to do that for her?” Lucian asked, facing him as he clenched his fists so tight that his knuckles turned white out of anger.

“ At least he is better than you who have nothing to offer” Kelsea muttered, but Lucian heard what she said, and he couldn't believe his ear.

“ What! I have nothing to offer. After everything I have done for you Kelsea, you still have the guts to say that I have nothing to offer? I went to the police station for your sake, I took action for something I did not do, for a crime I did not commit and you promised that when I come back, there will be love. I guess that was a deceit also” Lucian erupted angrily like a beast.

“ You're a loser, Lucian, Your wife is now mine” Melvin smirked, speaking for the first time since the beginning of the confrontation.

Lucian angrily punched him, he locked his shirt and began to punch him again before Kelsea came in between separating them.

Melvin already bled from his nose and lips.

“Stop it, Lucian !” Kelsea shouted, and Lucian felt like punching him over and over till he collapsed.

“Don't worry, I will divorce you. Enough of all this maltreatment. I'm hurt, and tired. I can't take it anymore,” Lucian lamented poorly.

“Divorce?? Do you think you can survive on the street without our assistance, without my wealth??? Lucian you are going to crawl back to me begging me to take you in again, mark my words, I'm not joking” Kelsea declared.

“It's not too late for you to get on your knees and apologise to me,” Melvin stated, and Lucian angrily left the house.

He got outside, on the street and his phone chimed. He checked it to see an alert of billions.

Before he processed anything, he heard a female voice. “Young Master”
