Rae’s POV“You’ve got to be kidding me, Rae.” Lyra’s eyes went wide with shock as she stared at me. “I wish I was but everything I’ve just said to you is the truth and nothing but the truth,” I answered. It was a lot to take it, I had to admit it myself. It had taken me a lot to open up to her but I realized that I couldn’t keep this bottled up any longer and Lyra was the closest person to me aside from my mother.“I wish I hadn’t spent the weekend over at my boyfriend’s, I would’ve witnessed a small part of your crazy life with my own eyes.” Lyra began. “Careful what you wish for, Lyra.” I sighed. “I knew Lucas was a lot to deal with in all ramifications but I never figured him out as someone who would be this….” Lyra trailed off, at a loss for words. “Intense?” I offered. “Yes, intense.” Lyra nodded. “He lied to your face for weeks and made you believe some falsified romance existed between the both of you and you had to find out all by yourself because he never would’ve told

Rae’s POVThe wedding was tomorrow and I was having jitters about the whole thing already. My mother had tried to assure me that it was pretty normal to be worried but I didn’t know if she was trying to pacify me or if she did mean it. Either way, my nerves were a wreck and Lyra wasn’t here with me because she had something to sort out on my behalf and she didn’t want to stress over it. While I appreciated the gesture, I wanted her to be here for me now that I needed her the most. I hadn’t seen Gunner for the past three days and I hadn’t seen Lucas for longer either which was good for both parties. I heard a knock on the door and I jumped out of the bed, rushing to the door, hoping that it was Lyra on the other side of the door. “Lyra, you owe me, and don’t think—“ I began as I opened the door, only to stop short as I saw who was standing on the other side of the door. “Well, I’m sorry but I’m not Lyra or whoever you were expecting to see.” Gunner smiled at me. “I thought I wa

Gunner’s POVGunner paused for a moment as he debated on what he was supposed to say. He was momentarily at a loss for words but he knew that he had to say something quickly else, he might potentially lose Rae before they even got married. “When I told you that you had nothing to worry about and there wouldn’t be any form of competition, I meant that, Rae.” “How can you say that when there’s every indication that it’s going to happen sooner rather than later?” Rae argued further and I knew that if I wanted to make her happy, I had to give her something that would pacify her. I thought about telling her the truth but I didn’t know how she was going to take it and besides, I didn’t want to do anything to jeopardize my chances and have my father leapfrog me and take Rae away from me. So I decided that it would be best if I didn’t tell her the truth or if I cherry-picked what I had to tell her. She didn’t need to know everything, she just needed to know enough that I wasn’t going to

Rae’s POV“Well, I don’t see how my marriage would be any of your business, father,” Gunner yelled. “You tried to take her away from me for months but you failed and now, this ruse is over.” “You may think you have it under control but you’ll soon realize that you don’t and when that happens, I’ll be waiting to clean up your mess as I’ve always had,” Lucas yelled back.“I wish you’d have a little more faith in me because if you do, you’ll know I have this under control and you wouldn’t be standing here trying to second-guess every choice I make because you can’t handle the fact that Rae is mine now.” “You think this has anything to do with Rae, Gunner?” “You’re going to stand there and lie to my face that you’re not making up all of these stories because you’re pissed about the fact that I’m getting married to Rae tomorrow and there’s nothing you can do to stop it?” “I’ve accepted my fate and I’ve made peace with it,” Lucas answered. “That’s all you need to know and all you need t
An Affair With My Bethrothed's Father Chapter One Hundred And Five
Rae’s POVLyra never cried. I had never seen or heard her cry, ever. Until tonight when she sobbed quietly over the phone. I held it against my ear, unsure of what to say because this was a whole new experience for me. She was usually the strong one between us and I could honestly count the number of times that I had cried on her shoulders while it had never been the other way round. If whatever had happened moved her to tears, then it was something huge and I knew that I had to take care of her for the time being before I get off what was on my chest. For starters, I was in complete control of my emotions but she wasn’t. “You need to calm down and talk to me, Lyra.” I cooed, trying to get her to stop crying. “I’m sorry, Rae. I just can’t help it, I’m a mess right now and I don't have anyone else to call.”“I’m glad you called me, Lyra,” I replied. “And I don’t want you to feel bad about that either.”“Thank you
An Affair With My Bethrothed's Father Chapter One Hundred And Six
Lucas’ POVI hated the fact that I had spoken to Gunner in such a despicable manner but I didn’t have any choice considering what we stood to lose if he couldn’t cover up his tracks properly. I had scorned Rae once and she decided to marry Gunner to spite me. What would she do if she ever found out that Gunner had lied to her about being gay right from the start?I didn’t want to think about it but I knew all too well that hell hath no fury like a scorned woman and I didn’t want me or anything related to be to be caught in the crossfire when things came crashing down. “You look like you’re about to murder someone, Lucas.” Damian chuckled, forcing me to stare at him as he interrupted my moment of reflection. “What gave you that notion in the first place, Damian?” I scowled. “There,” Damian pointed at my face. “There’s that murderous glint in your eyes that only appears when you’re in the red zone. Where have you been all night, Lucas?” “I had to straighten out a few things ahead of

Lucas’ LOVGunner was many things but I’ve never known him to panic if something major wasn’t going on and judging from the wild look on his face, whatever was going down was scary if it had him disorganized. “What’s going on, Gunner?” Damian asked before I could open my mouth. “I was talking to the choirmaster when I asked the servants to inform Rae that her presence was required downstairs and that was when I was informed that she wasn’t in her room and no one had seen her for the past 30 minutes.” “Start from the top,” I said as I sat upright. “When I left you in her room, did you see her afterward?” “No. I haven’t.” Gunner replied. “I’ve been working on getting the last details for the wedding in order.”“So the last time you saw her was before I walked into the room, yes?” “Yes, father.” Gunner nodded. “You mentioned you saw her at some point, Damian.” I began, turning my attention towards him. “I did,” Damian replied. “She was walking towards the front door. She looked sad

Lucas’ POV“What plan are you talking about, father?” Gunner asked, his whole attention on me. Damian had his eyes on me as well. We had emptied the room and it was just us left inside. “For starters, I once had a feeling that someone was going to try and mess with Rae when she becomes a part of this family and I knew I had to do something to stop it from happening but if I couldn’t, I had to set up protective measures in the event that it happened.”“You know where Rae is?” Damian asked me, unsure about his answer. “Close, you’re close. I know how we can track her and find out exactly where she is.” I answered. “How did you manage to pull that off?” Gunner asked. “There’s no tracking device implanted in her car, I’ve checked it already after seeing the CCTV footage.”“That’s because the tracking device is in her earrings, her favorite ones.” “She always wears them and she wore them tonight,” Gunner’s eyes widened in realization as I nodded. “I’ve got an IT guy coming over in the
