Raegan’s POV I could feel his eyes lingering on Gunner's hand which lay on my lower back in a bid to maintain my composure.I kept on telling myself to relax but it wasn't possible because I knew that if we were caught now we’d escape Lucas's wrath.I didn’t know what exactly Lucas was involved in but I was certain he wasn’t being called dangerous for the fun of it.If Gunner was eager to pull down his empire in order not to inherit it then it was as bad as the mafia.“Do you want me to chant ‘you can do it’ in your ear so you can loosen up your shoulders!” Gunner asked before stopping to face me with his pals plastered on my chin, “Or do you want to stop here?”I knew what he was doing, showing Lucas little gestures of affection so he could probably look away but knowing Lucas, he didn’t.I shook my head and smiled at him. If only Gunner wasn’t gay…marrying him wouldn’t be so bad, he was everything a girl would ever wish for.He opened the car and helped me in before driving out.I t
Raegan’s POVI watched the faces of the men immediately morph into fear and the one that specifically bullied me.“Boss!” he greeted as the man stood in his front only for him to receive a slap that echoed across the halls causing a gasp to escape my mouth.The man immediately fell to the floor but the boss in question walked away from his kneeling figure before saying, “You will pay for this embarrassment later on!”“Hi, I'm West…the man you have been communicating with on the phone” he introduced with his outstretched hand which I met halfway.The man that had kidnapped me.As he led me to a corner, I couldn't help but be curious as to why his mood had turned from I'd kill you to I'm happy to see you.We sat down and he began explaining how Lucas was a bad man and his antiques in the crime world.The more stories he told, the more I became scared of the man I was staying under his roof and how little I knew of him.Just as he let me speak, I questioned “Why me though, you could have
Raegan’s POV“Oh hey” I sarcastically greeted quite were of the watchful eyes that were being thrown my way now and then. Our stance wasn't very appropriate, I must say.“That doesn't answer my question woman,” he said as I tried removing my hands from his.I thought of something corky and insulative to say but I thought otherwise as he didn't seem like he was being mean but rather acting all friendly.Moreover, the maids around still had their heads bowed as though they were awaiting further instructions although I could still feel the scrutiny of their gazes.Judging and condensing, not that I cared at all.“Nothing, I'd just like to cook what I would like to eat, I am starving,” I said before slowly removing my hand from his tight grip.Lucas almost seemed like a bipolar person with the way his mood changed in the blink of an eye. Just a while ago he was fuming and being an overprotective father-in-law and now…he was smiling at me.He dismissed the maids and sitting down on the ki
Raegan’s POVUnlike what I had expected Gunner hadn't arrived immediately I had called him and I couldn't help but wonder what part Gunner played in all this.To think of it, he wasn’t playing any part then aided me betray his dad and also advising me to ruin his father's empire.To think of it, it was selfish of him and it was almost like this wedding was up to me to save, if only he could just come clean and tell his dad of his sexuality rather than subjecting me to all these.“What are you waiting for?” I heard Lucas ask looking all dressed up, “heading out?” I asked him instead before my face morphed into a scowl as I saw the lady behind him.She wore a smirk that I wanted to wipe off her face.“I want to drop her off, so what are you doing in the kitchen? Another food preparation?” He asked and it almost sounded like he was teasing but I didn’t care rather I was busy eyeing up the bitch behind him.‘Dropping the slut off looking all dressed up like that!’ I found myself almost ask
Raegan’s POV“It's no secret that he never understood me and whenever we had a clash I was careful not to reveal how much he had hurt me for never being there for me” he continued sadly.“Sometimes I felt that I was the child he never wanted”.“You should have seen your face!” Gunner suddenly exclaimed, turning off the suspense that was in the air in a matter of seconds.I joined him in laughing but I could see beneath that fake smile the pain that lay underneath.It seemed as though he had just realized that he was talking too much and decided to playfully move it to the side.I wasn't going to push because it was obvious that the subject made him uncomfortable and I understood…at least to an extent.In silence we walked towards a room that had the tag, ‘keep off’ in its front and with a sigh he opened it.It wasn't just a room, deep down I was expecting a room that would have his mother laying down looking all sick and maybe on life support but no…it was a studio.An art studio…a bea
Raegan’s POVI smiled sadly at him and felt his smile flatter, we both had our hopes on this.“No, can you ask you a question, though?” I asked, and his eyes lit up, he knew I wasn’t telling him everything and I guess that is why he was eager to work.“You never showed me his office and bedroom, though”“As much as I am to take over, Lucas is yet to trust me with the paperwork because he knows how much I detest his line of work”.“He's so strict about the business that his office is inside his room and no one is allowed in there although once upon a time, His slut was, but now NO ONE!”“He has me handling the clean part of the company while Lucas handles the dirty part that involves money laundry, drugs, guns, and stirring up bad blood”.“I'm guessing he wanted to protect me as much as he could, that's why he kept me away and all affairs of the business were only known by him alone”I almost asked him, how else is he going to take over if he wasn't being carried along but thought again
Raegan’s POV“I am not running away!” I yelled at him with tears flowing down my eyes, I wasn't even in the emotional state to think right neither did I care about what he thought of me.I just wanted some peace where I could cry and curse the fact that I was given a mom like mine.She should be tagged the worst mom ever and knowing her, she must have probably asked Gunner to pay for her stuff seeing as her debit card had run after me.“I know!” he said as he continued trying to force the door open.“You'd get injured, you can send your guards to all floors, I'm sincerely not running” I tried assuring him in hopes that he'd stop but the look on his face showed me that he had no plans to. So I watched as he struggled till the doors opened for him, once he stepped in... the doors closed.Before he could ask whatever was dancing on his lips, the elevator suddenly dropped giving us a jumpscare, and in a flash, I fell, more like jumped into his arms.He wrapped his arms while holding me st
Reagan POVLucas had an amused look on his face, showing me that he enjoyed teasing me which was quite surprising.“Lucas” I whispered yelling as it seemed as though the workers were getting close.He chuckled before slowly letting me go with a slight spank on my butt causing me to gasp.If we weren't in an elevator that was being opened by different men, I would have probably enjoyed what he was doing but then as crazy as I did seem, I didn't fancy this kind of exposure.Not here especially after the drama I had just pulled off.In a hurry but carefully I tried arranging myself to avoid suspicions and more especially stares that would make me wish for the ground to swallow me.Thankfully I was done arranging my clothes when the door was opened.My eyes navigated the floor as they tendered apologizes to us most especially to Lucas who showed his displeasure.One of them even foolishly pointed to the sign that said that the elevator shouldn't be mounted when heading down.I must have mi
