An Affair With My Bethrothed's Father Chapter One Hundred And Twenty-One
Rae’s POVI felt my body tremble as Lucas spoke, the calmness and ferocity in his voice serenading me. My fears were beginning to dissipate into thin air as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me close, knowing I had Lucas by my side gave me all the assurance I could ever need.I smiled at the first memory I had of us together. It was a week after I arrived, I had grown weary of being in bed all the time so I decided to take a stroll to clear my head. It was a bit confusing figuring out what stairs to take but I eventually made my way downstairs and went into the woods, seeking solace and the quiet it would bring. As I made my way through the woods, taking in the beauty of nature and listening to the chirping of the singing birds, a powerful scent filled my nostrils as I approached a clearing. There was a man so engrossed with the book in his hands that he didn’t notice me invading his privacy. He was the same man that brought me here and I hadn’t seen him since the fi

Rae’s POV“I don’t want you in the spotlight,” I began, I was going to sound ridiculous at this point but I didn’t care. “I don’t want other women seeing you and trying to pry you away from me. It’s bad enough that you get catcalled whenever you go out and even if you try to hide your identity, it ends up the same and to be fair, I’ve been reasonably understanding and you know I can’t do anything about it but I don’t think I can show that same level of restraint if they ever try to take it a step further after everything that has happened, I might just kill the first woman that tries to flirt with you and hide her body somewhere no one would ever find it.”Lucas wore a huge smile on his face and I groaned, covering my face with my hands. I hadn’t realized just how much I had been talking.“You’re adorable when you sound this way.” He began and I mentally slapped myself. “You don’t have to patronize me, Lucas. I sound like a jealous housewife who is trying to get her husband to never

Rae’s POVWe stood in silence, holding each other’s gaze as we exchanged words in silence. The tension between us was thick, you could cut through it. “Goodnight, Rae.” Lucas bent down to kiss my cheek, lingering longer than he usually did. He let go of my hand and turned to walk away. “Wait—“ I began, making him stop in his stride. There was every chance that I was going to regret this by morning but I didn’t care right now. I couldn’t get thoughts about him out of my head and I was done trying to discard my feelings. Lucas turned to face me, waiting in silence as his eyes searched my face. “Do you want to come inside?” I whispered, hoping I would be audible enough.The slight smile on his face gave me the answer I needed. “What about your nausea? Won’t anything—“ “The doctor assured me that I would be perfectly healthy.” I cut him short, pushing my door open and making my way in hoping he would follow suit. I turned around immediately I heard my door slam shut with a soft t

Room 205, that's his room number." the message read.I grabbed my pillow screening into it, unable to control my joy although I wondered why he didn't tell me himself that he was coming back to town. Maybe he wanted to surprise me but I'm going to surprise him first.I went straight into the shower to take my bath hurriedly in excitement but I ended up laying in the bathtub for close to five minutes reminiscing on the memories I had with Tyler.

RAECall me crazy or whatever I simply don't care. I just got my heart broken by someone and this is simply me trying to move on.Rather than spend time crying my eyes out, why not do something crazy and regret it later when I'm in my normal state of mind? This is simply my way of moving on.The man in front of me looks hot and ravishing after all, who wouldn't want him?He stood unmoved and had this expressionless look on his face. Although he did seem intrigued by my behavior I could simply tell through the glittering in his eyes. I curled his eyebrows at me, scrutinizing him.My mom who had just entered the room immediately walked up to us and pulled me away from him."I'm sorry sir, I'm really sorry sir for my daughter's behavior," she apologized, giving me a dreadful stare."I really apologize, she's such a child who doesn't know when and where to play. I'm sorry.""I should have trained her better," she added and I scoffed.I stood there surprised and baffled as to why my mom wou

RAEI sat in the bus chatting gleefully and telling Lyra how successful the plan was and how foolish Lucas and Mom were. There was no way they could catch up with me now."I'm on the bus right now, when I get off the bus I'm going to contact you," I sent the text, grinning happily at my successful escape plan.I dropped my phone on my thigh and relaxed my head back."Hey!" Someone shouted in protest. as some men in black flooded the bus."Fuck!" I gritted my teeth in anger, they found me."How the fuck did they find me so soon?"I grabbed my bag and crouched down, trying to hide as they searched for me. I slowly made my way out of the bus, with people staring at me like I was crazy but luckily for me, they didn't alert the men.I moved towards a boy and his mother, hiding and the boy stared at me in curiosity."Mom, why is there a girl on the ground acting like a rat?" He asked and I palmed my face in annoyance. He just released my location to them and now they were headed in my direct

LUCASThreatening him wasn't going to work, he was as stubborn as I was and the only way to get him to marry Rae was to make him see reason."Dad, if you're going to push ahead with your plans to get me married to this rainbow girl then I guess I'll just have to leave," Gunner threatened in return, getting himself back.I sighed in frustration, face-palming myself. "Gunner, please sit down and let's talk."He reluctantly sat down on the chair across the table, frowning"This is a business Gunner and in business, you have to make sacrifices. Marrying Rae even though you don't love her is one of those sacrifices.""But dad?""No buts gunner I understand how you feel about it but I'm telling you that you're going to love her. She is not much different from you plus she is amusing as well." I smiled, remembering her.Gunner sighed in frustration, but I could tell that I had convinced him to some level, and as long as it was business, Gunner would eventually cave in."So now that you're her

LUCASI heard Gunner's footsteps and I leaned back a little. Gunner entered the room seeing me strangling Rae. This wasn't the picture Gunner was supposed to be seeing but it was better than him seeing me trying to kiss the girl I wanted him to marry. He walked up to me pushing me away from her."Dad?! What's wrong with you? Why do you want to kill her?" He fumed angrily."Wait I can explain it's not what it seems like," I said trying to calm him down."It's not what it seems? Are you fucking kidding me?" He threw his hands in the air, exasperated."You were choking her!""You can ask Rae yourself," I said snapping her out of whatever she was having."She doesn't need to tell me anything," he shook his head sideways, refusing to listen."Gunner for fuck sake shut it!!" I shouted angrily at him and he jumped back startled but he regained his composure almost immediately."I think I should leave," Rae muttered still looking dazed and without waiting for any reply, she slipped through the

Rae’s POVMy eyes widened in shock as my jaw hung open for a few seconds before I snapped it shut.Will you go out on a date with me? I couldn’t believe Lucas had said that. He had been everything but romantic towards me during these past few days since Gunner left, we had a cordial relationship without any sign of sexual intimacy between us until tonight when he had made love to me out of the blues. “Rae, you have to say something.” Lucas’ voice interrupted my train of thought and forced me back to reality. “I’ll understand if you think this shouldn’t happen or if you think it’s forced but I just wanted to get it off my mind.” “No, it’s not that, Lucas.” I tried to explain. “You caught me off guard.”He merely nodded, waiting for me to speak further. I watched him out of the corner of my eyes as his gaze was now fixed on the moonlight casting a soft illuminating glow over us. He was giving me time to think about my decision while waiting patiently for the outcome. I cradled my

Lucas’ POV“Rae has been sulking all day. She has locked herself in the room and has refused to eat anything since morning, she won’t even see her maids. You have to go talk to her."I stared at Damon, a bit surprised at what he just said. “Are you trying to pull my legs?”“I’m not. You’ve been locked up in your world that you’ve forgotten there’s someone who loves you and you’ve spent the whole week regretting why you finally have the woman you claim to love.” Damian couldn’t help but laugh.“You think this is funny, don’t you?” I glared at him.“In my defense, If I were in your shoes, you’d be laughing at me in a much more annoying manner.” “You win.”“It was never in doubt, Lucas.” I let out a groan as I ran my hands through my hair. I had prayed for a second chance and when I had finally been given, I was already doing everything the wrong way. “Do you think she’s going to forgive me?”“I don’t know, Lucas. You’ll have to ask her and see what she says.” That was four hours ag

Lucas’ POV“You’ve barely said a word since Gunner left this morning,” Damian began, his keen eyes watching me. “What would you have me say, Damian?” I shrugged as I briefly glanced at him before returning my gaze to the painting hanging directly in front of me. I had made my peace with the fact that Gunner had decided to carve his path in the world and realistically, I was happy for him. It was what I had always wanted for him and he was making that big step. “If I didn’t know any better, I would say you feel slightly guilty concerning the circumstances surrounding his leaving,” “You sure know how to suck the fun out of the room, don’t you?” I glared at Damian. “There wasn’t any fun to start with and I’m here for you to talk about this before it starts to eat you up.” “I’m not in the mood to discuss, Damian.” I tried to shut him down. “We can do this some other time.” “Maybe,” Damian began. “But the next time I bring it up, you’re going to give me this same excuse again.” “I

Rae’s POV“It’s time to wake up, sleepyhead.” I groaned as I popped one eye open to see Lucas hovering above me. It was a welcoming sight because the last time I had woken up to this, it was in the fishing village.Usually, it was often accompanied by him making love to me for the rest of the morning but I didn’t think that was going to happen now given how tense things still were between us. “How many hours did I sleep?” I yawned as I stretched out on the bed. I still felt tired, and understandably so.“It’s past 3:00 PM,” Lucas replied. “My goodness,” My eyes widened in surprise. “Why did you let me sleep that long?”“You looked like you could use it,” Lucas shrugged. “Kim called an hour ago. She was just waking up as well.”I nodded. “It was one of those nights.” Lucas handed me a cup of tea which I gratefully accepted with both hands welcoming the relief a couple of sips brought with it. “Are you ready to talk about it now?” Lucas asked gently, sitting on the edge of the bed.
An Affair With My Bethrothed's Father Chapter One Hundred And Sixteen
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

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
