Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 467

"Don't worry about the company, I have a bunch of capable brothers who can take over in a heartbeat. Even if I were to hang out with you at Skywatch for a year, the firm would run like clockwork." Stefan had faith in his siblings and trusted their competencies implicitly.

"Although they're all busy with their own ventures, they're all clued in on the company's operations. Liam's just tied the knot, so we'll give him a pass; my youngest brother's still in school, so he's out too. But my other brothers are up for the task."

The brothers: Stefan, please don't pick me.

Stefan: How about this? Rock-paper-scissors, draw straws, loser takes over.

"This empire's too big to leave to my youngers brother. They might be able to handle their own, but navigating the business world requires some seasoned veterans."

Lucinda had been the sister-in-law to the boys for a while now and had gotten to know each and every one of her brothers-in-law quite well.

Stefan chuckled, "Let them share the load, don't want to be accused of playing favorites."

Lucinda yawned, closing her eyes, and mumbled, "Honey, I'm beat. Off to count sheep." Stefan planted a gentle kiss on her and whispered, "Sleep tight. I'll watch over you."

Lucinda said no more.

She always felt exhausted after their intimate moments, sinking into a deep sleep.

It puzzled her why she was the one feeling spent even though she wasn't the one exerting the effort.
