THE BILLIONIARE'S RISE TO STARDOM Chapter 160: Josephine's Birthday.
Lucian shot her a half smile before motioning for her to enter the car. They drove a reasonable distance in silence with Josephine stealing occasional glances at him."Hey…aren't you going to talk to me?" Josephine forced a stiff smile.Lucian sighed. "What did he say to you? Did he mistake you for Lena?""No, he knew who I was and was just spilling a lot of bullshit,""Like?""Like how I should be careful with the one I claim to have feelings for. Before I joined him in the restaurant, he insisted he had something very important to tell me. Turns out he knew about my birthday and thought that breakfast would serve as a suitable birthday gift,"Lucian scoffed, his hands tightening around the wheels of the car. He looked away so Josephine wouldn't see the burning anger in his eyes. Oh, how John was tempting him every single fucking time.He had thought that John would eventually back down after losing his face before the whole world, but no, it seemed that bastard wanted to wield the m

Josephine grabbed Lucian's hand as apprehension filled her chest. "What is he doing here? We never gave him an invitation,""I wish I had an answer. John is just looking for trouble and that's obvious," Lucian said as he tried to stay calm. He wouldn't have John make attempts to sabotage a party that they had so carefully planned."Gosh, those security men need some scoldings. They can't just let anyone in like that," Josephine muttered in frustration."It's a good thing we separated from Lena earlier. We can't have John know that we're in a good relationship with your sister. Keep your distance, okay?""Okay," Josephine breathed. "I really wonder why he's here though. To catch me ruin the plan?"Lucian shook his head. "I've always known John to be mischievous so his being here might not necessarily be to catch you, but just to prove that he's a dick,""There they are! The birthday celebrant looking so sharp and beautiful," a voice interrupted and as they turned, they came face to fac

The car pulled up at the beach house and Lucian climbed down to open the door for Josephine. In growing excitement, he took her behind the house where she could see the dark, beautiful water and the plenty stars twinkling in the sky."Beautiful…" Josephine whispered as her heart squeezed within her."Oh, that's not all. It's your birthday, remember? We've got to make it more beautiful," Lucian smiled, taking her hand in his. "Close your eyes, J. Don't open them until I say so, alright?""Alright," Josephine breathed and as she felt Lucian's protective hands on her shoulder, leading the way, she relaxed, squeezing her eyes tight."Aren't we there yet?" She blurted as excitement crashed in her blood."You only took four steps," Lucian chuckled. "Patience, my queen,"Josephine swallowed and a few minutes later which felt like several hours Lucian finally asked her to open her eyes and when she did, she was blown away by the sight in front of her.Her hands quickly flew over her mouth in

Josephine left her mouth hanging open in intense shock. She could swear that her blood pressure had skyrocketed to an alarming level in one split second. Her heart accelerated in panic as she stared at Betty whose hands were tightened around the gun in pure hatred."Wh- what are you doing with a…a gun, Betty? Drop that down…""Ugh?" Betty smiled in ignorance like she had lost her hearing."What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Lucian snapped. "You don't have to prove a point with a goddamn gun!""Oh, but I do!" Betty mocked, reaching out to wipe the swear that had assembled between her eyes– or was it tears? "You know I keep wondering why you had to do it. Why did you hide your real identity during our marriage while pretending to be a poor ass loser? Were you testing me?"Lucian chuckled dryly. "This is so like you to pass blame for your inadequacies. Should marriages only be built on material things and not love? This shows how greedy and insatiable you are. You failed,"He pau

A minute passed. Two minutes and Josephine forced her eyes open in terror, waiting for the pain of the gunshot to sink it. She waited, but when nothing happened, her heart hammered painfully in confusion.Another gunshot pierced through the air and Josephine sprang to her feet immediately to find Lucian standing in front of her with eyes filled with matching shock."Lucian…?!" She cried rushing towards him in panic, patting his body looking for a sign of injury. "Wh…where are you hurt, Lucian? Wh…ere? I can't lose you, Lucian, I can't! Please…no!!"Lucian grabbed her trembling hands at once and pulled her into his chest. She was shivering, shaking like a convulsing patient, and in dismay, her eyes traveled through the length of her body. "You aren't hurt anywhere, are you, J?"The tears traveled faster in Josephine's eyes as she buried herself deeper into his chest, grief washing all over her. "No…the bullet didn't hit me. If it's not me, then it's…it's you. Oh, please tell me this is
THE BILLIONIARE'S RISE TO STARDOM Chapter 165: A visit To The Hospital.
John tightened his hand around the edge of his office desk, trying so hard to suppress the horrifying snappings in his chest as he listened to Summer who was already sniffing back her tears."After she's discharged, she'll be charged to court immediately," Summer said bitterly. "My goodness!" John growled, his hand raking through his hair. "How could she even make such a big move without informing anyone?""I fucking don't know. That night she said she was going on a walk to clear her head. I had no idea she was planning to aim a fùcking gun on Lucian,""Then we have to do something immediately! If she's found guilty and sent to jail, it'd be very strenuous to get her out, especially not with Lucian's powerful influence," John said, tapping his mahogany desk meticulously in thought."What do you suggest we do? As I said, the police are at her hospital room door keeping guard. Once she's healthy enough, she'll be arrested,"John didn't say anything, instead he bit his fingernails nerv

John pulled the black cap down his face to further conceal his identity as he made his way towards Howards. He couldn't risk anyone recognizing him, especially as he had a big plan to execute.He massaged the fake beard around his chin to make sure they stayed in place as he maneuvered through the company."Hello, sir, can I know the name and the purpose for visiting?" Lucian's secretary said, almost blocking his path."Oh, I just wanted to make an inquiry," John forced a smile."On what, sir?""Is the president around? I'd like to relay the information myself,""Do you have an appointment?"John bit his lips. "No, but this is really urgent. Trust me, he'd snap at you once he finds out he missed this important information,"The secretary eyed him suspiciously before she picked up the telephone. When the call connected, she spoke in whispers so that John wouldn't be a part of the conversation."Go on, he'd like to meet with you. Take the elevator by your right," The woman urged with a

"What's going on here?" Lucian repeated when he didn't get a response from the people in the room.At the harsh, chilly tone, John pulled his cap further down his face, an act that did not go unnoticed by Lucian.John held his breath as his brain searched for an escape plan. He didn't dare move or even attempt to breathe because he was afraid Lucian might recognize the rise and fall of his chest. If that happened, it was game over. As if sensing his uneasiness, Lena smiled, switching to playing the perfect character. She walked up to Lucian and wrapped a hand around his shoulder. "Baby, I thought you went out for lunch? I was about to join you in the office later,"Lucian shook his head. "My schedule changed." He gestured towards John. "Who is he?""Him?" Lena released a careless chuckle. "I was just escorting him out. One of the cleaners who happened to missed his way,""Newly employed?""Yeah, got employed last week," Lena said."I thought the superiors regularly conduct a tour for
