Chapter One Hundred And Five
Rae’s POV
Lyra 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 youRelated chapters

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

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

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

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
