Love Against All Odds Chapter No.14: The Bonding Time
Lucas Bennet: "Lucas, how did my mom get hurt?" Lily asked as she looked at her mother lying on the hospital bed unconscious "She was so happy today." "It's all because of me, flower. I didn't take good care of your mommy and I feel bad about that. Are you going to forgive me?" I asked the little girl who sat down beside me, with her tiny arms wrapped around my arm and her head resting on it. "It's not your fault, Lucas. But, please tell me that Mommy is going to be alright. She is going to be okay, right?" Lily asked, " I am scared." "Don't be scared. I promise that your mom is going to be alright. The doctors told us that your mommy needs a few hours of nap right? She is just resting and will wake up very soon. In the meantime would you mind coming home with me since your Aunt Sarah is going to stay over here at the hospital with your mom?" I asked Lily who looked at her mother and then at me but nodded her head. "I guess so," she replied in a soft voice with tears in her eyes m

Emily Foster: "Here, let me help you." Lucas stepped forward to help me when I struggled to open the door lock of my apartment since my head was still throbbing in pain and I refused to take the painkillers because they made me feel nauseous. "Don't bother." I snapped in a low voice as I didn't want Lily to hear me because since I had woken up, she wouldn't stop praising Lucas and kept on telling me that he took really good care of her and even watched the princess and dolly movies with her. "Why don't you go back from your place and never return because I don't want to see you ever again. We are done, Lucas. I don't tolerate the cheaters. I can take care of myself and my daughter and I quit the project I was working on for you. You can threaten me or do whatever you want now because it won't affect me." I said to him with gritted teeth when he entered my place and placed the medicines on the kitchen counter and watched Lily head to her room. "Em, I am sorry, I will go for now beca

Emily Foster:- "What is he talking about, Lucas? What did you do? What did you pay him for and when did you meet him? Were you conspiring against me by teaming up with my ex-husband? Tell me!" I shouted out in anger. "What?! No! You are taking this wrong." Lucas said instantly and glared at Daniel " The bastard showed up at my office unannounced one day and blackmailed me to tell you that I am engaged so I just paid him to keep his mouth shut. That's it. I wanted to be the one to tell you about my engagement from my mouth and if you had come to know about it from him, it would have been disaster. It's not like it isn't a disaster now. But, I didn't know things would turn out this way and now you already know that I am engaged but trust me I am trying hard to break that engagement off." "Oh really? Well, guess what? You don't need to because I don't need you in my life." I snapped then glared at my ex-husband " And, you. Just because you are my daughter's father I am giving you a las

Emily Foster:"Here, take this medicine and go to sleep. You need rest." Lucas said after helping me sit on the bed and placed the pills on my hand with a glass of water "The doctor asked you to rest as much as you can and take the medicines on time to heal faster.""Thank you." I thanked him and gulped the medicine "Where is Lily?""She is in the backyard having the tea party with Mr. Cuddles, Mr. Blueberry, Mrs. Pots, and Miss. Ginny," he replied making me laugh because all of the names he took belonged to Lily's stuffed animals and her dolls "Don't worry the guards are looking after her. She is safe over here. No one can enter without my permission." Lucas tells me with a smile and kisses my knuckles "Call my name if you need anything. I will be in the next room working.""Ok," I answered and laid down, he put on the comforter on me, and left me alone. I closed my eyes and thought if this all could be real. If Lucas, Lily, and I can be family, I know this is impossible because ever

Lucas Bennet:When I saw Emily walking towards the door with Lily, I lost it and couldn't let that happen again. Lily and Emily are my life now. They both are my family and now I don't care about any consequences as long as I get to be with her for my whole life."No, Emily and Lily, you are not going anywhere. You both are my family." I announced, meaning the words from the bottom of my heart. I pushed Isabelle away from me in a hurry and ran towards Emily, took Lily from her in my arms, and hugged both Emily and Lily together in a family hug. This act of mine surprised Emily because she looked at me with widened eyes."What are you doing, Lucas?" Emily asked shocked "Let go of me, I don't want to be called a homewrecker.""You are only going to call my wife, nothing else," I spoke and landed my lips on her for a deep and passionate kiss, leaving Isabelle shocked in her place with her mouth hanging open and heard her gasp. Emily resisted me for a little while but gave up eventually a

Emily Foster:I was on my way to the kitchen to take a glass of milk for Lily when I heard the whispered yelling voice of Lucas coming from his study. My curiosity took over me and I decided to eavesdrop."Dad, you can do or say whatever you want, threaten me with anything you want but I don't care. At this point, I don't care today. I am not going to listen to you or Mom. I am done spending life according to you. I don't give a fuck about anything. You can do whatever you want but I am not going to marry Isabelle. I don't love her, never did, and never will. Emily is the only one for me." I heard him yell. I thought he was talking on the phone but when I heard his father's voice I gasped."You are willing to leave your luxurious life behind for that gold digger who is only trying to take over your wealth and nothing else. She is trapping you but you can't see it. I know the woman like her, they want nothing but your money. That stupid whore left her husband when he got broke, which t

Lucas Bennet: I woke up early in the morning to fix breakfast for Emily and Lily because I felt like we three were going to be just fine. I feel so relieved to know that I am free of my parent's clutches and free of the engagement with Isabelle. Now, I can just focus on Emily and Lily. "Yumm, it smells really amazing. What are you cooking, handsome?" Emily asked from the doorway of the kitchen and let out a yawn as she stretched her arms in the air " I am famished." "That's because you didn't eat anything last night, my love." I spoke as I walked towards her, wrapped my arms around her waist, and landed a kiss on her lips "How are you feeling now?" "Much better now that I am in your arms." she answered, wrapping her arms around my neck "Let's not talk about me, tell me about you. How are you feeling?" "I am feeling so much better, actually amazing. I have never felt this peaceful and relieved in my arms. All my life I have been controlled by my parents, as a member of Bennet, I ha

Lucas Bennet:"What the fuck do you mean by that?" I demanded after putting Emily down on her feet and looked at her "Take Lily to the room, love. I will be with you soon.""Ok," she replied in a low and nervous voice. I can see the worry in her eyes for me which made me glad to know that she cares and worries about me."What do you mean, old man?" I asked once Emily was out of sight "The will of Grandpa and the property papers clearly state that this place belongs to me.""Indeed it does, Lucas, but like always you don't pay attention to the details because if you have done that then you would have known that you would only get to have this place called your own when you get married to a woman who matches our standard and give birth to an heir."These words pierced my soul like a brick wall. I had always known about the circumstances mentioned in the will and property document, although it never crossed my mind that my father could turn around on me. While marriage meant taking respo

Love Against All Odds Chapter No.86
Lucas Bennett:-"No...no, Lillian...Our baby...." I woke up screaming in fear when someone shook me and opened my eyes to look at the nurse standing in front of me. I looked around my surroundings and realized I was sitting in the waiting room and fell asleep. What I saw was just a dream. Not real."Mr. Bennett, your wife and the baby are doing fine now. Her blood pressure and stress level was beyond high when she was brought over here, but we have stablized her and the baby now. You can go and meet them. Your wife is asking for you."A feeling of relief flooded my system like a harmonic wave and momentarily stunned me. I inhaled and exhaled as hard as I could while attempting to banish the nightmare’s panic that still ensued in my mind. The nurse’s words played on repeat: They’re fine. Lillian and the baby are both in good health.I stood up from the chair and tried to steady my legs as I walked down the hall behind the nurse. As I walked towards her room, I felt as if I was conqueri
Love Against All Odds Chapter No.85: The Baby Loss
Lucas Bennett:-"I am sorry, Mr. Bennett. We tried everything we can but we couldn't save the baby." the doctor informs, with a regretful and sad expression, "When she was brought over here, her blood pressure was really high, and she was under a lot of stress, we asked your wife to take it easy as her pregnancy was already a bit complicated."I almost lost my balance and saw stars before me as what the doctor was telling me registered in my mind. We couldn’t save the baby. The phrase resonated with me where each word seemed to hit me in my chest like a drum. I attempted to draw a gulp of air into my lungs but that seemed very difficult as if all the air had been evacuated from the room.All the things that I have done were blown away and all that filled my head was Lillian and how she clung to me, how she begged me to protect our child, her terror and suffering. And now… I’d failed her. I’d failed them both. “When…when can I see her?” I barely got out through a dry throat, my voice
Love Against All Odds Chapter No.84: Giving In to Desire
Lillian:-"Or else I will forget that I love you and go for the mission that is left unfinished." I threatened "Yes, I still feel this burning fire of rage inside of me. I want to kill your brother and your father for defending him, hiding him after finding out what he did.Your father knew that he murdered a woman, and yet still he protected him. All this time I thought he was protecting you, because I didn't know about this twinie thing. But, now that I do. I will go after my target. I am going to kill your twin, Lucas. I am going to snatch him away the same way he snatched my sister away.That's the problem, Lucas. You are just thinking about the pain you are feeling because of my betrayal, but you have to understand that I didn't betray you. I didn't know about Liam. You can hold me accountable because now I don't care. You spending and sleeping with Isabelle was the last call. All this time I was punishing myself for hurting you, when you don't even see or feel my pain.You are n
Love Against All Odds Chapter No.83: Don't touch me
Lillian Montigue:-I stormed in the house in anger after Lucas's actions and heard him follow me. How dare he talk to that man rudely when he was just trying to help me out? He has no right to feel jealous when he has been the one who went to fuck that bitch Isabelle, after making it clear that he will not have sex with me. No, I won't stand for this. He can't disrespect me like this."Lillian....Lillian, stop!" I heard Lucas call for me but I didn't stop, instead I looked over my shoulder and glared at him, while he carried Lily in his arms and whispered something into her little ear because she got off his arms and ran to her room. Lucas tried to reach for me, but I pushed him away."I said don't you dare touch me and how dare you kiss me out there after using those lips on that bitch, along with other body part of yours." I whiper yelled "Go to hell, Lucas.""Only if you come along with me in there because hell will feel boring without you."I made fists with my right hand Bewildere
Love Against All Odds Chapter No.82: Lucas's Jealousy
Lillian Montigue:-I was done crying the whole day. For the whole day Lucas after breakfast, he hasn't return. I bet he has fucked Isabelle several times by now. How much I wanted that to be me, but I know, it won't happen as I won't let him touch me or do anything. He wants a marriage of convincence, right? I will give him that.From now on, it is going to be just that. It will only be pretending in front of the public while in the home, we are going to be nothing but strangers. He has made it clear himself that he doesn't want to have sex with me since he has got Isabelle to fulfill his needs."Alright, sweet girl. Do you want to come with mommy and go out for some ice cream?" I asked Lily who was just done studying. Her face lit up all of a sudden when she heard me and jumped up and down in excitement and ran towards the foyer to put on her shoes and coat without me asking for it."I am ready, mommy. Shall we go now?" she asked with a puppy dog eyes and I laughed as I picked up the
Love Against All Odds Chapter No.81: Isabelle's Visit
Lillian Montigue/Bennett:-"Thanks for thebreakfast, it was delicious." Lucas thanked, after finishing the plate of his breakfast and looked over at my plate, that was left untouched as I didn't feel like eating. I knew the moment I put a single bite in my mouth, I would be running to the bathroom to vomit until nothing was left in my stomach."No, I am scared that I will be spending hours in the bathroom after that. I already feel nauseous due to the morning sickness." I answered "I can't eat now, but I will in a few hours when I feel better."He leaned forward and put his hand over mine, tenderly."Lillian, you simply have to eat something. Nevertheless, it will keep your stomach calm no matter the portion is small or not. The baby requires you to be strong."I gave him a small, appreciative smile. "I know, I will. It’s just…" Trailing off, I looked down at the food on my plate that I had yet to even touch. "Things smell too strong, and everything is too much for me."He smiled quie
Love Against All Odds Chapter No.80: One step Forward
Lillian Montigue:-I lay there eyes closed and could hear the passion and determination in Lucas’s voice as he argued on my behalf, as he dared to cross his father for me. An odd feeling of comfort came over me in the centre of my torso. I’ve been so focused on our suffering and anger toward each other that I didn’t let myself consider how Lucas might feel.But listening to him, listening to the passion in his voice as he talked about me and our child broke my heart in ways I never thought possible. I know he loves me and going through a hard time because of me and my actions which is why I am ready to bear them as long as I can be with Lucas. After marrying him yesterday I realized that it's better to have Lucas in anyway, than not having him around at all. I want him, I want to see him everyday, I want him around me, Lily and our unborn baby.I felt my heart was going to explode as a soothing feeling came over me and I couldn’t pretend any longer. I opened my eyes, surprising him.
Love Against All Odds Chapter No.79: The threat Call
Lucas Bennett:-"What is it, dad?" I asked, picking up the phone annoyed after looking at the screen "What do you want?""Is it true?" he asked, and I knew what he was talking about."Is what true?" I asked, looking at my laptop screen as I tried to get the work done. I know I have got the Bennett company back and got things sorted out, but it doesn't mean I can sit and wait to get doomed again."You know what I am talking about, but fine, if you want me to say it then hear it." he growls "Did you marry that bitch who ruined us?""First of all, you are not going to call her a bitch or disrespect me in anyway. She is my wife and the mother of my unborn baby." I snapped "And, if you dare call me again then I am going to make sure that you rot in prison with your criminal son Liam. Speaking of Liam, I heard you have gotten him out of the prison by bailing him out. How could you do that, dad? You know how cruel he could get and still you did that. Why?""Because I have failed him and I w
Love Against All Odds Chapter No.78: The Temptation
Lillian Montigue:-I had jsut laid down on the bed after finishing my work, and sending the files on my dad's email when Lucas stepped out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist after shower. When I looked at him, I gulped and begin to feel things.Things I didn't want to feel but looking at the man standing over there in just a towel, with his magnificent well-muscular chest and perfect abs on the view, I couldn't help but feel turned on that I clenched my legs and tried to move my gaze but couldn't when I heard him chuckle."Do you want this, wife?" he asked, in a raspy tone with a teasing grin on his face "Don't be shy. You can tell that you want me, after all it is our wedding night and you should be fulfilling your husband's needs. So, aren't you going to fulfil them?"His words made me irritable; however, the sight of him standing there so arrogantly, so wet and so utterly sexy was something my body could not ignore. There were moments of fury and arousal all
