Chapter 89 The Lady Isn’t Marcelle!

Chapter 89 The Lady Isn’t Marcelle!

With evident surprise, the lady asked, "what consequences?"

Alex did a 'one' gesture with his finger and said, "first, you can never go back to your husband. You'll forever be mine."

The lady blinked in amusement, but then chuckled softly. "I am willing to accept that, however, if you don't give me enough attention or leave me like my husband did, I won't stay with you."

An acceptable condition on the lady's part, thought Alex and nodded.

The lady smiled as she saw him nod. Like a young girl, she extended her pinky out and asked, "promise?"

Alex smiled at this childish gesture. "Promise," he said while shaking his own pinky with hers.

The lady flashed a beautiful smile at this sight. She then asked, "what's more?"

"Well..." Alex tried to collect his words, "I am married and if you get together with me, you'll end up having lots of sisters."

"What?" The lady's smile disappeared.

Alex nodded. "You heard it right. You'll have to share me with others but I'll have you all for myself. Very hypocritical, but that's how things are."

Alex leaned close to the lady's face, and held her face, said, "Now tell me... are you still willing to accept?"

This should have the lady back away, thought Alex. No sane woman would get into a relationship with a man already in a polygamous relationship.

The lady felt as if all her hopes were shattered at this instant. A sudden splurge of melancholy washed over. Why, just why was her fate this bad?

First her husband was gone, now she met a decent young man and he already had multiple wives? Had the times changed into those of ancient ones where Emperor's ruled and had a harem full of women?

What in the world was her fate?

Sensing the lady's sadness, Alex hugged her and rubbed her back. He whispered softly in her ears, "don't be sad. Life's unfair and I know it sounds vexing to share your partner with others, but believe me, it won't be. I keep things fair for everybody, and there never will come a day where you'll feel sad."

Alex then felt some moisture on his shoulders and sighing, he pulled himself back and looked at the lady in the eyes.

She was crying.

Alex felt pained to see someone cry like this and he knew it was because of him. She might've felt what dogshit luck did she have to encounter someone with a harem.

Wiping the tears off her face, Alex said softly, "we can pretend this encounter never happened and go about our life. Or... if you're really willing to accept me, we can take things slow. Give this relationship a chance, stay with me for a month, and see for yourself if it's cut for you. If it isn't, we both will go our separate ways."

A world where harem was frowned upon, it was really difficult to get people to accept you.

Alex didn't want to sleep with the lady because he was married and that meant cheating on his wives. It was unfair on his wives and he wanted to keep things fair.

Harem was inevitable to have. His own fate was sealed the day he accepted Nix.

Plus, Alex knew this was just the start. His harem was only going to expand further in the future. He was sure that he would have concubines and maids as well like old kings.

He had already broken Nicole's heart by rejecting her, he didn't want to inflict damage on another person again. Though, he was still against a one night stand and would not just sleep around with any woman. He thus had to make things clear with Marsial.

If he slept with her, she was his. That's it. He wouldn't share his woman with someone else, no matter what hell broke loose.

The lady, feeling Alex's warmth and his supportive broad shoulders, was at a loss. This thing is what she had craved for almost a decade, but she could never voice it out to anyone.

She had a daughter to look after. She was a mother and she had to prioritize her daughter's well being first before hers.

Her daughter was now grown up. She had turned into a fine young lady just like herself when she was young. Her daughter wouldn't need more of her support and the lady thought maybe... just maybe it was time to look for her own happiness?

Even though the situation was fucked up with Alex stating he had a harem, it still didn't make her falter from her decision to be with him.

She knew once she fell into the devil's clutches, she would never be able to go back. However, the forbidden fruit seemed too tasty to let go and she was willing to give it a shot.

A month, he said, right? She would see for a month if he's really true to his words. He said he'll be fair, he said he'll be there for her, and he said he'll care for her. That's it. She just needed that much and nothing else mattered, be it him having harem or not.

The lady wiped the tears away and nodded her head lightly. It was really not like her to show weakness to somebody, but she couldn't help but break down momentarily. She was fine now though.

Alex smiled at the lady's response and kissed her forehead. "Then it's decided, you're mine now, Marsial."

"Eh?" The lady was taken aback. All her sadness vanished and she asked, "What did you say?"

"What?" Alex was confused with the lady's reaction. Did he say something wrong now? Or was this lady having mood swings or something?

The lady wasn't mad, she just chuckled and asked, "did you say Marcelle?"

"Yeah? Isn't that your name, Marsial?" Alex asked.

The lady started laughing out loud and Alex had to support her back otherwise she would fall from his lap due to the fits of laughter.

"Hahaha!" The lady laughed and wiped the happy tears leaking from her eyes.

A solid minute later, she shook her head and said, "firstly, it's not Marsial. It's M-a-r-c-e-l-l-e, Marcelle, and secondly... I am not Marcelle."

"Wha—"

Before Alex could say anything, his lips were sealed by the beautiful lady's supple ones.

A sweet, mild orange taste assaulted his mouth and the lady fervorously devoured Alex's lips, as if afraid that he would run away.

The kiss was really passionate and lasted for three whole minutes. Experienced ladies sure were wild, thought Alex.

Once the lady broke her kiss, she smiled and said, "now... there's no going back. No takesies-backsies."

Alex chuckled. "Yes, yes. I should say the same to you."

The lady then chuckled and said with a smirk, "do you know who I am?"

"Uh... a Blessed?" Alex asked. He thought she was probably trying to flex on her Blessed status?

The lady chuckled again and pinched his nose. "That I am, silly. I meant something else. Nevermind, I'll tell you myself. I am Lucielle Blanc..."

"Oh—"

"Lucielle, Marcelle's mother, Lucielle Blanc."

"OH!" Alex gasped. It suddenly struck him now!

Holy shit! This lady who he thought was Marcelle, wasn't actually her but her mother!? Hot damn!

Lucielle liked the expression on Alex's face. She smirked and asked, "what now? Feeling some regret that I am not Marcelle?"

"No, no," Alex shook his head, "just really surprised at how I got everything wrong, but still scored myself a beautiful lady."

The lady giggled at his joke and hugged Alex.

As for Alex, he thought, 'damn... I really did score myself a hot lady due to some misunderstandings, huh? Maybe I should change my username in games to rizzmaster69 and clown on horny teens for not being able to score a single girl.'

The one thing Alex loved in his previous life was to play games and talk to the young boys. Even if they were much younger than him, so what? Those little shits absolutely deserved it!

If Lucielle were to know what Alex was thinking, she would start questioning her relationship as well as Alex's sanity.

But Alex kept his thoughts to himself and all was good.

Tapping on Lucielle's back, Alex said, "alright, my young lady, your husband needs to go home."

Lucielle chuckled at this. "You're not my husband, yet."

"Yet." Alex put emphasis on that word, which Lucielle acknowledged with a nod.

"How are you going to explain things to your husband, if he ever returns?" Alex asked, a bit curious.

Lucielle shrugged lightly. "There was no love to begin with. He loved his work more than his wife and daughter, I feel nothing for him. Anyway, if he ever comes back, don't worry, it's my responsibility, I'll handle it."

Alex shook his head. "Not really. You're my responsibility now and everything that troubles you will be handled by me."

Lucielle chuckled. "It feels good to fall in love again."

Alex raised his eyebrow. "You're already in love with me, honey?"

"Fufufu... not yet. We'll see how it is after a month." Lucielle answered.

Alex chuckled. "Very well. Anyway, we should go now. Can't stay cooped up in this bathroom for too long now, can we?"

Lucielle nodded and the two got out of the ladies room.

Leaving the department store, Alex asked, "do you have a car?"

"Of course. Your lady is pretty rich, powerful, and influential, you know?" Lucielle flexed in a light-hearted manner, which made Alex chuckle.

"Seems like I found myself a sugar mommy, yes?" He joked.

"Fufufu, yes. I'll spoil you tomorrow on our date." Lucielle said.

"Oh? We're going on a date?" Alex asked as he walked with her to the parking lot.

"Of course. Or are you planning on using this lady just for her flesh and no love?" Lucielle was in a good mood and joked again.

Alex put on a pondering expression and said, "that doesn't sound like a bad idea either."

Lucielle chuckled. She really liked this guy's energy.

The two walked to a luxurious black Rolls Royce and Lucielle really wasn't kidding when she said she was rich.

Rich would be an understatement, she was filthy rich!

Getting into the car, Alex couldn't help but ask, "if you're so rich, why was Marcelle walking when I saw her?"

Lucielle smiled and starting the car, said, "she just likes to walk her way to the office. The house isn't far anyway."

"I see." Alex nodded as they drove off.

While driving, Lucielle asked, "by the way, what happened? How did Marcelle save you?"

"It wasn't much. Just a car accident," replied Alex. "My car crashed and she took me out of it."

"Oh." Lucielle understood. "So you're that guy who was on his phone and crashed your car. Tch, tch. I didn't expect my lover would do such a stupid thing."

Alex was ashamed of this, but clearing his throat, he said, "to be honest, it was all a well put out master plan for me to meet you and then scam you into spending a night with me."

Lucielle rolled her eyes and pinching Alex's cheek, said, "shameless. If someone didn't know better, they'd really believe your words with how confidently you're saying them."

Alex chuckled and winked at her. "Lady, believe me. I just want to get in your pants."

Lucielle chuckled and stopped her car when it reached Alex's destination. "We'll see about that after a month. Now go home, lover boy. I'll see you tomorrow."

"See you," said Alex and went to Nix's place.

As he rang the doorbell, he smiled awkwardly and thought, 'I have a lot of explaining to do now...'
