An Affair With My Bethrothed's Father Chapter Fifty Nine: Confessions
Lucas nearly knocked Gunner off when he hurried over to stand in front of Tyler, eager to learn about Rae's location. If he didn’t stop Gunner, he was going to kill Tyler and everything would’ve been for nothing. “If you kill him, we won’t know where she is, Gunner.” Lucas said, trying to make him control his emotions. “Men like him only respond to one thing only and that’s violence,” Gunner said. “Let me take over this time around,” Lucas said. After half an hour of suffering, Tyler eventually gave up and yelled that he would speak. Lucas and Gunner became agitated when Tyler struggled to make his first comment after he was instructed to speak. “We’re not here to play games, Tyler.” Gunner warned. “I used to be Rae’s boyfriend some time ago,” Tyler forced out. “We broke up and I wanted her back so I visited her that evening in an attempt to get her back.” Lucas didn’t want to hear anymore words from Tyler as he slammed his fist into his face, before grabbing his colla

“Rae is missing and the first thing on your mind is to cancel the marriage while she hasn’t been found yet?” Lucas asked. “That’s not the idea I had in mind, father.” Gunner said. “I just thought it wise to inform you about my decision early enough.” Lucas could believe his ears. There was a lot happening and he had to come to terms with it. “Gunner, you need to tell me what’s going on.” Lucas said. “Even if you make us get married, I’m going to get a divorce and when that happens, I’ll be free to do what I want.” Gunner said. “I already feel responsible for her kidnap and I do not want to consign her to a life of misery.” Lucas knows that he can’t change who his son is and no matter what, it isn’t going to change his love for him. But this talk could wait until they found Rae alive and well. “We can talk about this when we find Rae, Gunner.” Lucas said. Deep down, a small part of him was pleased with the fact that he had no one to compete against him for Rae’s love and he
An Affair With My Bethrothed's Father Chapter Sixty-One: Beaten
"You can't do shit!" Rae yelled and almost regretted it as Maya left with a smirk but as soon as she did, her men entered the room. She prayed for death but choose not to.shiw.hee weakness, it will only fuel Maya hate... her silence wasnt any better though. Rae's body was covered in bruises when she was in the cabin, which was evidence of how many beatings she had endured. She was obstinate and unwilling to admit her vulnerability, although appearing to be so strong on the outside. Hem, a security for Maya, came into the room carrying a tray of food for Rae. Rae could tell he was interested in her based on the way he was glancing at her and she had to use it to her advantage. “My wrists are hurting, Hem. Can you help me out?” Rae stretched out her hands towards him. “I can only loosen one of the knots.” Hem replied. “I won’t be comfortable that way, Hem.” Rae said in a seductive voice and Hem caved in. He eventually freed her both hands so she could eat, even if the fa
An Affair With My Bethrothed's Father Chapter Sixty-Two: Insane
Hem brought Rae some food to eat, and during the day, he remained by her side. Rae had an idea in her head to get some crucial information out of Hem—knowledge that would help her get out of the cabin. She asked Hem if she was on a boat or a ship. Rae became aware that she was on land, but that she was deep in the densest area of the outermost woodlands around the city. Just as Rae was about to start wooing Hem further to check if anything in his body would help her escape, the door was suddenly thrown wide, and she hastily withdrew her sullied smile and put on a serious expression. The new guards entered the room just as Hem was about to leave, so he hurriedly grabbed up the plate that Rae had been eating from. When asked why it took him so long to feed Rae, Hem explained that it was because she was severely injured and could not move her hands. Rae chewed her meal slowly, which is why he stayed with her for so long. Rae was a handful, so the guards let Hem stay in the room w
An Affair With My Bethrothed's Father Chapter Sixty-Three: Lost Chance
Rae chose to behave wisely after realizing that her miserable situation was a mess a few days later. She ate the meal Hem had given her and, although she was remorseful, she sobbed miserably at him for having made himself vulnerable to be used. Hem offered comfort to Rae. He was infatuated with her by this point and was growing increasingly resentful of his boss, Maya. He didn't even give Rae's queries any thought because he was so enamored by her beauty and would stop at nothing to make her happy. Rae, still clinging to Hem, asked him how many guards were stationed surrounding the wood and the cabin. He replied that there were fifteen, including himself. Rae initially considered conspiring with him to help her get away, but there were two factors at play. She didn't develop affections for Hem; rather, she just didn't want him to pass away because she knew how much he was taking care of her. If they were successful in their escape and Hem takes her far away from Lucas, then that wo
An Affair With My Bethrothed's Father Chapter Sixty-Four: Three Card Monte
Rae’s idea was pretty simple. All she had to do was to switch the wallet she had stolen from him when they were in the kitchen with the phone dangling on Hem’s waist. Just like a three-card Monte. It was the oldest con in the book. The three cards could be anything, but it is usually a queen and two low-numbered cards placed side by side face down on a table. The queen is the only card that matters and you have to find it. The dealer starts every game with the cards in his hands, face down, cradling the edges of the card with his fingers. Two in one hand, the queen on the bottom and the ten above it, and a single five of diamonds on the other hand. He then throws down the queen, face down, and throws the other cards around it. It's easy to see where the queen has landed and follow it as the dealer moves it around with the other cards. A friend of the dealer bets on where the queen lies and gets it wrong. The mark then feels pretty confident, thinks he's got it all figured out,
An Affair With My Bethrothed's Father Chapter Sixty-Five: Drop Dead Hem
“I’m scared, Lucas,” Rae muttered. Her voice was barely audible but it was loud enough to get her message across to Lucas who she knew would be surprised at what she had just said. Realistically, Rae had wanted to refrain from saying anything until she was with Lucas but the knot in her stomach was becoming too painful to ignore. “You’re in one of the safest places I can think of, Rae.” Lucas began, his voice as gentle and steady as ever. “Is there something going on or are you merely being paranoid about something that doesn’t exist?” “Lucas, when have I ever given you a false alarm?” Rae frowned, feeling slightly offended that he would think of her in this manner. “I’m sorry, Rae. I didn’t mean to come off as condescending but I’m quite surprised at your displeasure.” Lucas tried to explain. “I’ve always felt you were in the right place up until this moment.” “I thought the same as well, Lucas.” Rae sighed as she massaged her temple. “But, I guess we were both wrong about eve
An Affair With My Bethrothed's Father Chapter Sixty-Six: Silver Lining
Three days ago. Lucas could feel himself losing his mind and he hated feeling like this but there was nothing he could do at this point other than pray for a silver lining in the sky. He had been waiting for this moment for a rather long time now and it wasn’t forthcoming. Looking for Rae was driving him crazy and he didn’t want to fill his mind with terrible thoughts about what could’ve possibly happened to her, that would mean he was losing faith and he didn’t want that to happen. He had hired a couple of private investigators and placed a huge price for whoever would be the first man to track down Rae. He didn’t mind paying top dollar for the information he sought, she was worth it and more. “Do you think we’re going about this the right way?” Lucas asked as he stared at the screen. He had been through this same process several times over and he hadn’t managed to find any clue yet which was rather frustrating. “You think we’ve been barking up the wrong tree for several
