An Affair With My Bethrothed's Father Chapter Twenty-Seven: You Kissed The Enemy!
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

Rae’s POVLucas had a weird look on his face as he stared at Gunner and me. I wondered what it was then I felt a weight on my hand and I looked at it and saw that Gunner was still holding my hand while his other hand was on my phone.I slowly removed my hand from his and cleared my throat. I could feel the tension in the room. Gunner looked at Lucas with a confused look then proceeded to talk.“Dad. What are you doing here? You just barged in.” he asked Lucas and I saw Lucas lose his stature for a second before regaining himself.“It's nothing really,” he replied.“It must have been important because you have a look on your face right now.” Gunner pressed on. “Right Rae?” he turned to me and asked to which I only nodded.“I just wanted to talk to her about the wedding preparations and decorations. You know that time waits for no one.” Lucas said and then left the room without any other word.“Well…that was weird. Don't mind him and lock your room too if you have to. If that makes you

Rae’s POVIt was like a snap in my brain and I realized the position that we were in. Half naked in the swimming pool. If Gunner walked in here, I wouldn’t be able to fathom what would go on in his head.I immediately pushed him away causing him to go down in the water. “Are you okay?” I asked after I didn’t see any movement again.I started panicking. Maybe I pushed him too hard and he hit himself on the tile. I moved into the water and grabbed his nearest hand that I could see but my hand was thrown off and we both came out of the water.“You scared me! Why didn’t you answer when I asked if you were okay?” I raised my voice at him and he only looked at me. I could tell that he was also angry but was trying to keep his cool.“Why did you push me? Do I look like some toy to you?” He asked me and I was confused.“What are you saying? I never said that you were a toy.”“You think you can leech on me whenever you like and then throw me off whenever you like too huh?” He scoffed and I saw

Maya’s POV I was shocked by the way he suddenly yelled at me. “Can you stop being like this? I am trying my best right here.” I said to him because he was already attracting the attention of the guards. “Which guard let you in?” he asked me while seething in anger. I scoffed as I remembered how I got in. It wasn't do hard to do that. I just had to seduce him and pay him off. He should work better on his guards too. “It wasn't so hard to get in here My love and even if you triple your guards, I will still be able to get in!” I shouted and she threw his head back while laughing. “You are crazy.” “Yes, I am. I have said it over and over again. I am crazy for you. Don't you see that?” I asked him and he laughed. “Get out of my house.” he pointed to the main entrance and I only ignored him and started crying to make his heart soften a bit. He couldn't watch me crying when we were still dating. I'm sure he is just being tough right now for nothing. I still have a place in his heart.

Maya’s POV“Take Me to the boy right now. Some needs to get their heads knocked with something.” I commanded my driver and he looked at me with that front mirror before nodding.“You have to turn off your phone ma’am.” he said slowly and I raised my eyebrow at him.“What do you mean by that? Do you now order me to do things now? Who pays you?” I shouted and he pressed the break in startle which resulted me in hitting my head hardly on the chair.“Oh my gosh! I have had enough of you. Not only do you not listen but you are now planning to kill me.” I said to him with a wide eyes and he started shaking his head in denial.“That's not true Ma. I will never think of doing such a thing to you at all. You startled me by shouting all of a sudden that's why.”“So it's now my fault?” I asked him but he didn't answer. His face went pale as he stared at me.“What's that? Is there anything in me? Stop being quiet and talk!” I said in a frustrated voice.“Blood.” he whispered and I opened my phone

Rae’s POVI was tired of everything then decided to call Lyra to pour everything out. She picked up on the second ring and I was glad. She is always there for me when I need her.“She's the best girl ever,” I said to myself with a wide smile on my face.“I am losing my mind.” that was the first thing I said immediately she picked up and started laughing.“What's going on? Is it about Lucas or Gunner again?” she asked me and I switched it to video call so she could see how stressed and angry I was.“You don't look good.” she pointed out and I shrugged my shoulders. “Duh! What do you expect? I am so confused and I am not happy at all. I feel like I am losing my mind already.” I told her and she sighed and then waited for me to explain.“You won't believe what he did today again,” I said to her.“Did he kiss you again?” she asked me with a smirk and a smile almost came up to my face but I hid it quickly.“You are crazy Rae.” I scolded myself and then went back to that topic.“So what's go

Rae’s POVI knew what I was going to do next. I planned to mess with Lucas’s mind until he will be the one to beg for the marriage to be called off.I knew that he had a thing for me but he was just proving to be stubborn and mature. “We will see how long that will go on for.” I said to myself then laughed.All I needed to do just like what Lyra said what to stop making myself look cheap. I always had my eyes on him so he thinks he can touch and drop me like I mean nothing.I decided to stay indoors because I didn't want to go out and also I didn't want to run into either of them. They are both exhausting. Staying with Gunner always made me feel bad that he could never be in my heart despite him being genuine about everything.“He is a good GAY guy but not the one for me. I wouldn't have been in this mansion getting married to someone that I don't love if not for my family’s sake.” I said with a gritted teeth.“How on earth can i start this devious plan of I?

I hadn't seen Rae yesterday and today apart from the time we made eye contact when I was shouting at the guard that let Maya in the mansion.The guard was giving different excuses and that's why Ingot angry and hit him right in the face. I was about to fire him but then he began begging me that I shouldn't.“I have a large family to take care of Sir. I promise to not make the same mistake again. Please just let this go this time.” these were the exact words he said to me and I knew about it but then the reason that Maya gave me was still ringing in my ear.“You have just one chance. Blow it and you will be out of this house” I told him that and then proceeded to call Rae yesterday.“Is it because of the pool incident?” I asked myself. I was getting worried which was unlike me. What if something happened to her and she was just in her room?“What if she attempted to kill herself?” I asked myself then stood up from my office chair

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

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
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
An Affair With My Bethrothed's Father Chapter One Hundred And Twenty
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
An Affair With My Bethrothed's Father Chapter One Hundred and Fifteen
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
