Raegan’s POV THIS WAS REALLY HAPPENING?! When I was being dolled up, I badly wanted to be slapped and pulled back into a reality where I was getting married to a gay man. I wondered why he couldn't just tell his dad that he wasn’t into women and save us this stress. I wasn’t homophonic and I'm pretty sure anyone in my place would feel the same way but it wasn't in my place to spill Gunner's sex. If only we weren't that close then I would have spilled his secret a long time ago to save myself from this wedding. My mind began judging me for not using the opportunity but the memories I had created with Gunner shut them up. I loved Gunner as nothing more than a best friend but the thoughts of being tied to a man that could never satisfy guy my sexual desire and it wasn't like I could cheat. It was no big news that they weren't big fans of cheaters due to Lucas's bad history with such women. Upon entering the hall, his stare immediately lit me on fire, and knowing that he felt s
Raegan’s POV I knew there was no way she was going to leave me alone. Being the pest that Maya was, she didn't leave like I had predicted but instead, she proceeded to sit down beside me causing me to groan loudly. What was more painful was the fact that no one could sense my discomfort rather anyone whom my annoyed smile met, flashed me theirs. In the blink of an eye, so many crazy thoughts flashed through my mind and funny how they were all thoughts of how I could embarrass her to get her away from my sight. It was already displeasing enough that I was here but having to answer to this bitch was just out of the question. I thought of pouring her the glass of wine that was in my front because I knew that everyone here would take my side as it would be seen as self-defense but I shook my head as it was just too much stress. Ignoring her didn't work like planned unlike what I expected, she didn't get the hint and left rather she thought it wise to taunt me. Maya's presen
Lucas had been waiting for a chance to spend some time with Rae ever since he saw her looking so beautiful in that dress. “Do you want to dance, Rae?” Lucas asked gently. “No,” Rae said, not entirely convinced. Lucas didn't accept this and questioned her again. “Are you sure about that?” Lucas asked again. “Just one dance.” Rae eventually agreed and both started dancing, which gave rise to the sexual tension they’d been trying so hard to fight for a long time. They were dancing in each other's arms, their mouths moist and their gaze locked. Rae was doing the same thing with Lucas as her eyes bore into his, his lips were inviting, and she desperately wanted to explore his body, which she had only been able to do in her imagination. Lucas's eyes moved from Rae's eyes down to her lips, where he could see himself kissing her profusely and eating up her lips with his hands around her luscious body. “You look so beautiful, Rae.” Rae tried to pretend that his words meant noth
Rae was extremely uncomfortable that Gunner had found her in that inappropriate situation with her father-in-law, who was also his father. She was trying to think of the ideal response to give Gunner should he question her, but nothing was coming to her because her thoughts were primarily focused on Lucas; he was simply there, and oddly, she wanted it to stay that way. She took advantage of the fact that Gunner remained silent about what he had seen, believing that it would be futile for her to bring it up. Instead, she dutifully followed him wherever he led her. It was nice that he put her into the middle of some boys who were around her age and introduced them to her. However, the conversation turned dull when they started discussing business and the difficulties they faced as entrepreneurs. Rae politely excused herself to use the loo, but Gunner was hesitant to let her go. Rae sighed, realizing that he was acting clingy towards her after what happened. In an attempt to
As soon as Rae entered the bathroom, she took out her foundation and lip gloss to touch up her makeup. However, Tyler, who was upset over being rejected and ignored, followed her inside and grabbed her from behind with the goal of getting his way with her, but she made it difficult for him. They started fighting, with Tyler hitting her in an attempt to calm her down, but she wouldn't listen. It seemed like every hit made her stronger. She would also cry out for assistance, but nobody at the party could hear her because the music was so loud and nobody would have expected such a thing to occur. When she refused to listen to him after he had been fighting with her for several minutes, Tyler took advantage of her lapse in concentration and hit her. As they struggled, Rae managed to reach a fire extinguisher that was just next to the bathroom mirror and smashed his skull, and he instantly let her go. Rae rushed out of the bathroom, screaming for assistance, but she would not go ve
Lucas sent his men to pursue Rae, but the search proved pointless and unnecessary. He searched everything that came to mind, nearly turning the city upside down that evening. When he got home, he was hoping and praying that Rae was only playing a prank and she had really gotten him this time and had planned her escape well, but he wasn’t sure that this was one of her numerous pranks; it didn’t seem that way. After summoning the bravery to call off the wedding, he started his search again. He searched the entire city but was unable to locate Rae. It was then that he realized his mansion was equipped with CCTV, which allowed him to determine how she vanished quickly. After coming back to the mansion, he watched the video and felt his heart tighten when he witnessed the moment Tyler was attempting to take Rae hostage. "Bring that guy to me immediately!" Lucas commanded his men as he glared at the screen. Even though Tyler hadn’t been located, Lucas was still waiting for his men
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
