An Affair With My Bethrothed's Father Chapter Ninety-Nine: More Pressing Matters
Rae’s POV The next morning, I came down for breakfast but both Lucas and Gunner were absent as I had been the previous night. The butler, Mr. Gerald informed me of Lucas’ apology for missing breakfast but I didn’t care. He was doing all he could to talk to me but I was going to keep on avoiding him until he took the hint and stopped. Gunner on the other hand had left me a note which I didn’t bother to read, there were going to be no feelings involved in our marriage and I didn’t seem to care about their movements a tad bit. I had more pressing matters to focus on like what to do concerning my rowdy feelings towards Lucas. I had decided that I was going to make my first move sometime after the wedding, I needed all the security and influence I could garner, and being Gunner’s wife would guarantee that. I finished with my meal and retreated to my room for the entirety of the day, only appearing for dinner and I spent most parts of the night in the dressing room, sharing

Lucas’ POV I knew I was breaking the rules and codes of conduct but I couldn’t help myself. I couldn’t count how many hours I’d spent going over what would happen in my head if the world ever found out that I was trying to poach my son’s fiancée right from under him. The disgrace and scandal it would bring upon my family would be catastrophic and I might not be able to come back from the shame and humiliation which was why I had to do everything to make sure I got Rae back before she went mainstream with Gunner. I’ve tried several times to speak with Rae but she’s rebuffed all my advances for the past week. I’ve sent several gifts and letters, trying to sway her mind and get her to give me just 10 minutes of her time but she’s turned down my request every time. It was unlike me but I was starting to lose my patience and rightfully so, Gunner was accelerating the marriage plans as fast as he could. He wasn’t willing to give me any space and I could respect that, I would do t

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

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

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
