Lucas’ POVGunner and I proceeded to move to the sitting room and that was when we heard the voices. Giving Gunner a small nod, we crouched down and hid behind one of the large couches as we looked around the room and that was when I saw her.Lyra was a friend of Rae’s. What the hell was she doing here from the look of things, she was comfortable and laughing as loud as she could. Gunner had recognized her as well and as he made up his mind to stand up and confront her, I pulled him down, giving him a slight shake of my head. “There’s a reason she’s here, Gunner,” I whispered harshly. “We need to figure out why before we do anything, use your head and not your emotions.”And like I had predicted, a couple of minutes later, two men walked down the stairs, carrying Rae, who was struggling but there was no way she going to break free from the deathly grips on her arm. That was when I saw Lyra pull out a camera. “It’s time for me to have my revenge in the best way possible, Rae.” Lyra
An Affair With My Bethrothed's Father Chapter One Hundred And Ten
Rae’s POVI saw Laila pull out the gun but I was too weak to move my limbs or to shout. All I could do was close my eyes and wait for the cold hands of death to envelop me. Within that split second, I heard Lucas shout and my eyelids fluttered open to see him running towards me. He had seen the gun being pulled out and trained at me. I knew what he was about to do and I suddenly found my voice. It's funny what fear can do to you but it was too late to stop him. Lucas managed to get in front of me at the same time that Laila squeezed the trigger hitting Lucas in his stomach. Lucas groaned as he hit the floor, bleeding profusely. I raised my head to see Gunner engaged with Lyra, who was trying her best to prevent him from going across to Laila who had raised the gun at me again, a sick Amalie plastered on her face as she relished the chance to kill not just one but two people tonight. Before she could squeeze the trigger for the second time tonight, I heard a gunshot from behind me
An Affair With My Bethrothed's Father Chapter One Hundred And Eleven
Gunner’s POVI watched Rae’s interaction with my father from a few yards out. Their conversation was genuine and they spoke their hearts out like there was no one else in the room or they didn’t care about the people in the room. I could see the way Rae looked at my father and I knew that would never be me. Not in a million years. Whatever animosity she had for him earlier had all but faded. It was just like she said, she had been suppressing her emotions all along and now, she wasn’t. I didn’t know why I was having these thoughts when my wedding was in a few hours but there were moments where I stared at her and saw Rae right there and then, staring back at me but there was no hunger in her eyes. All I ever wanted was to have her but at the same time, I now realized that I was battling with my demons and indecision as well because I had to come to terms with the fact that I had merely been daydreaming about Rae falling in love with me. After all, she never was in love with me fro

Lucas’ POVI was soaking wet, wet wasn’t suitable enough to describe it. I was drenched in water, I stretched out my hands hoping to grab onto something hard or solid but all I could feel was water surrounding me. I forced my eyes open after struggling with it for a couple of minutes only to find myself in a pool. My teeth began to shake instantly, the water was cold and it was making me shiver. I tried to wrap my hands around my body but it proved futile. I attempted to make my way out of the pool but as I tried to get to the surface, I would feel myself constantly slipping back into my previous position. I continued to struggle and fight to make my way out but it all proved futile, the moment I got close to the edge, I would be pulled back to the middle of the pool within the blink of an eye. As I tried to push myself one last time, I felt myself being pulled deeper into the water. I screamed, hoping someone would hear me but there was no one running to my rescue as I continued to

Rae’s POVGuilt had never eaten me up this deep before. Sometimes, I could barely breathe properly for a few seconds only managing to gain a hold of myself when I was about to pass out. The first time I ever felt this way was when my father, who’s now dead as a result of my stubbornness, would constantly remind me how I was a cursed child from birth, he would boldly tell me to my face that I was the cause of his eternal heartbreak and I couldn’t help but wonder if the same fate awaited Lucas. It’s been three weeks since Lucas slipped into the coma right in front of me, it’s also been three months since I’ve been mourning the unfortunate incident alone, it’s been three weeks since I constantly beat myself up over what happened and I gradually grew distant from everyone around me, including my mother and Gunner as well. The doctor couldn’t fathom how he had slipped into a coma after it seemed the worst was behind him but they assured me that he would wake up when the time was right. M

Rae’s POV“I’ve been meaning to ask you for a while now, Gunner. How did Laila end up taking sides with Lyra?” I asked as I held Lucas’ hand in the hospital room where he was. The nurses had just finished checking his vitals and they told me he was in a stable state. I couldn’t count the number of times I’ve been told that and frankly, I didn’t want to hear it anymore. Taking my mind off the current situation was my best bet and I was glad that Gunner was here with me. After our conversation a few days ago, we had managed to maintain our relationship and we were now on good terms. He had been helping me pull through and maintain my sanity every day and I was grateful that I had him in my corner. “I thought you knew about Laila?” Gunner asked and I could detect a hint of surprise in his voice. Was there something he felt I was supposed to know?“I didn’t,” I answered. “Lyra was my friend, my only friend here and I didn’t see the need to have any other besides, I’ve only met Laila o

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

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
