An Affair With My Bethrothed's Father Chapter Forty Nine: Jealousy and Recklessness
Author’s POVRegret flooded Lucas upon realizing that he had shouted a little bit more than he should at them.His yell has echoed through the hall and if their laughter hadn’t gotten people up from their sleep then his yell had.Raegan and Gunner stared at him in surprise as they tried to understand why he had yelled at them in the manner in which he had.His outburst and obvious recklessness made he, himself to be equally surprised, but instead of apologizing, he asked, “Why the fuck are you standing there and staring at me like a thief caught on headlights?”“Do you fucking know that this period isn’t one where you linger around at night?” He decided to play that card upon realizing that nothing he would have said would have made him right.“We had played it safe and weren’t running around attracting unwanted attention but rather we had just watched the sun…”“Shut your fucking mouth filled with excuses and go to your rooms, he commanded to which they both listened to, without argui

Raegan's POVI woke up in confusion and my head pounding hard against my skull. My eyes got familiar with my surroundings dings and I scowled at the unfamiliar room…before it all cleared up.The only thing I could remember was watching the sunset with Gunner before we headed to the bar to drink away or last moments as singles.We both have come to the agreement that since Lucas wanted a marriage on paper we were going to give him that.Lazily I lay in bed and just then the unclear memory of Lucas yelling and then following me to my room flashed causing me to scowl.Was he here or was my subconsciously messing with me?I sank the tea that was at my bedside before washing up but for some reason, I just didn't feel the need to see anyone.Everyone was busy in their way…tomorrow was when the reality was going to dawn on me.My mind flew back to the man that has offered me a way out…brushing the back of my phone where the memory card was…I thought of doing it.It was funny how it slipped o

Author's POV It was finally the day…the day when reality had dawned on him. It was the Pre-wedding day. Just like reality has dawned on Raegan, Gunner woke up on the wrong side of the bed. He had earlier wanted to confess to his father the previous night after Rae had left but he just couldn't afford to ruin the mood not when his father seemed so genuinely happy. This wedding couldn't hold, he could see the pain in Raegan's eyes whenever they talked about the wedding. Her pain was haunting him, all night he had wondered what she thought of him for subjecting her to this kind of life. As soon as he woke up and without thinking twice in order not to let fear make him back out, he headed straight to Lucas's room to tell him that he was gay. All these while Raegan has been the one making the decisions on how to stall the wedding but he hasn't made any. It wasn't reluctance but he just didn't know how and was so scared to tell his father that he was Gay… It wasn't worth it then bu

Author’s POVMaya's eyes suddenly widened as she realized one thing Lucas lived more than himself was his reputation and there was no way he was going to react rashly outside under the scrutiny eyes of everyone.“Lucas Dear…” she began and Lucas' rage grew, if possible.Regardless she took steps backwards before dying while flagging down an invite that looked so similar to the one on the others hand. “I was invited Lucas and it’s funny how poor your memory is becoming faint” Gm“You seem very careless to dare show your smelly ass here and then threaten me to keep you still”His attention was called so he nodded at Gunner to hold her still while he welcomed in a guest, they stood discussing for a while before the man alongside his boys walked in.“You don’t near this disgrace and embarrassment you are asking for!” Lucas threatened as he returned with a scowl on his face.Maya didn’t know where her courage was coming from perhaps taking wine early was a bad idea but she loved the contro

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

Rae’s POVWe stood in silence, holding each other’s gaze as we exchanged words in silence. The tension between us was thick, you could cut through it. “Goodnight, Rae.” Lucas bent down to kiss my cheek, lingering longer than he usually did. He let go of my hand and turned to walk away. “Wait—“ I began, making him stop in his stride. There was every chance that I was going to regret this by morning but I didn’t care right now. I couldn’t get thoughts about him out of my head and I was done trying to discard my feelings. Lucas turned to face me, waiting in silence as his eyes searched my face. “Do you want to come inside?” I whispered, hoping I would be audible enough.The slight smile on his face gave me the answer I needed. “What about your nausea? Won’t anything—“ “The doctor assured me that I would be perfectly healthy.” I cut him short, pushing my door open and making my way in hoping he would follow suit. I turned around immediately I heard my door slam shut with a soft t

Rae’s POV“I don’t want you in the spotlight,” I began, I was going to sound ridiculous at this point but I didn’t care. “I don’t want other women seeing you and trying to pry you away from me. It’s bad enough that you get catcalled whenever you go out and even if you try to hide your identity, it ends up the same and to be fair, I’ve been reasonably understanding and you know I can’t do anything about it but I don’t think I can show that same level of restraint if they ever try to take it a step further after everything that has happened, I might just kill the first woman that tries to flirt with you and hide her body somewhere no one would ever find it.”Lucas wore a huge smile on his face and I groaned, covering my face with my hands. I hadn’t realized just how much I had been talking.“You’re adorable when you sound this way.” He began and I mentally slapped myself. “You don’t have to patronize me, Lucas. I sound like a jealous housewife who is trying to get her husband to never

Rae’s POVI felt my body tremble as Lucas spoke, the calmness and ferocity in his voice serenading me. My fears were beginning to dissipate into thin air as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me close, knowing I had Lucas by my side gave me all the assurance I could ever need.I smiled at the first memory I had of us together. It was a week after I arrived, I had grown weary of being in bed all the time so I decided to take a stroll to clear my head. It was a bit confusing figuring out what stairs to take but I eventually made my way downstairs and went into the woods, seeking solace and the quiet it would bring. As I made my way through the woods, taking in the beauty of nature and listening to the chirping of the singing birds, a powerful scent filled my nostrils as I approached a clearing. There was a man so engrossed with the book in his hands that he didn’t notice me invading his privacy. He was the same man that brought me here and I hadn’t seen him since the fi

Rae’s POVMy eyes widened in shock as my jaw hung open for a few seconds before I snapped it shut.Will you go out on a date with me? I couldn’t believe Lucas had said that. He had been everything but romantic towards me during these past few days since Gunner left, we had a cordial relationship without any sign of sexual intimacy between us until tonight when he had made love to me out of the blues. “Rae, you have to say something.” Lucas’ voice interrupted my train of thought and forced me back to reality. “I’ll understand if you think this shouldn’t happen or if you think it’s forced but I just wanted to get it off my mind.” “No, it’s not that, Lucas.” I tried to explain. “You caught me off guard.”He merely nodded, waiting for me to speak further. I watched him out of the corner of my eyes as his gaze was now fixed on the moonlight casting a soft illuminating glow over us. He was giving me time to think about my decision while waiting patiently for the outcome. I cradled my

Lucas’ POV“Rae has been sulking all day. She has locked herself in the room and has refused to eat anything since morning, she won’t even see her maids. You have to go talk to her."I stared at Damon, a bit surprised at what he just said. “Are you trying to pull my legs?”“I’m not. You’ve been locked up in your world that you’ve forgotten there’s someone who loves you and you’ve spent the whole week regretting why you finally have the woman you claim to love.” Damian couldn’t help but laugh.“You think this is funny, don’t you?” I glared at him.“In my defense, If I were in your shoes, you’d be laughing at me in a much more annoying manner.” “You win.”“It was never in doubt, Lucas.” I let out a groan as I ran my hands through my hair. I had prayed for a second chance and when I had finally been given, I was already doing everything the wrong way. “Do you think she’s going to forgive me?”“I don’t know, Lucas. You’ll have to ask her and see what she says.” That was four hours ag

Lucas’ POV“You’ve barely said a word since Gunner left this morning,” Damian began, his keen eyes watching me. “What would you have me say, Damian?” I shrugged as I briefly glanced at him before returning my gaze to the painting hanging directly in front of me. I had made my peace with the fact that Gunner had decided to carve his path in the world and realistically, I was happy for him. It was what I had always wanted for him and he was making that big step. “If I didn’t know any better, I would say you feel slightly guilty concerning the circumstances surrounding his leaving,” “You sure know how to suck the fun out of the room, don’t you?” I glared at Damian. “There wasn’t any fun to start with and I’m here for you to talk about this before it starts to eat you up.” “I’m not in the mood to discuss, Damian.” I tried to shut him down. “We can do this some other time.” “Maybe,” Damian began. “But the next time I bring it up, you’re going to give me this same excuse again.” “I

Rae’s POV“It’s time to wake up, sleepyhead.” I groaned as I popped one eye open to see Lucas hovering above me. It was a welcoming sight because the last time I had woken up to this, it was in the fishing village.Usually, it was often accompanied by him making love to me for the rest of the morning but I didn’t think that was going to happen now given how tense things still were between us. “How many hours did I sleep?” I yawned as I stretched out on the bed. I still felt tired, and understandably so.“It’s past 3:00 PM,” Lucas replied. “My goodness,” My eyes widened in surprise. “Why did you let me sleep that long?”“You looked like you could use it,” Lucas shrugged. “Kim called an hour ago. She was just waking up as well.”I nodded. “It was one of those nights.” Lucas handed me a cup of tea which I gratefully accepted with both hands welcoming the relief a couple of sips brought with it. “Are you ready to talk about it now?” Lucas asked gently, sitting on the edge of the bed.
An Affair With My Bethrothed's Father Chapter One Hundred And Sixteen
Lucas’ POVThe past couple of days have been nothing short of exhilarating for me in many ways. I couldn’t have woken up at a more perfect time. My life’s work had been on the line and I managed to gain control and effect several changes to the board like I had always wanted to. I also learned of the fact that Lyra and Laila had been placed in a maximum psychiatric hospital for the rest of their lives as well.Everything else was in order, Gunner had once again managed to do exceptionally well aided by Damian, who had always remained by my side even through the worst times. After the internal struggle with the opposition section on my board, Gunner informed me of his decision to go abroad. “Are you sure about this, Gunner?” I asked him. There was a huge difference between taking a long vacation and deciding to relocate to another part of the world for good. I wanted to know if he was making this decision with his right mind and not because he wanted to abscond from whatever it wa
An Affair With My Bethrothed's Father Chapter One Hundred and Fifteen
Rae’s POVI was flickering through the pages of the novel in my hand absentmindedly. I had no interest in reading but I wanted to keep my mind busy. I couldn’t remember the last time I left this room and frankly, I didn’t want to either. No one knew how long Lucas would be in this coma and while it was terrifying, everyone was struggling to maintain a positive attitude about the current situation. I hadn’t seen Gunner in a few days and I understood why. Our relationship would need a lot of time to fix and he didn’t mind giving me space and for that, I was grateful to him. I hadn’t seen Damian in a week either. He was trying to keep the company afloat with Gunner’s help and I knew that this was a rather critical period. I didn’t know much about the business but I knew how power mongers would react to the news about Lucas’ situation which was why Gunner and Damon were doing everything they could to keep the truth about his situation under wraps. But there was only so much they could
