Love Against All Odds Chapter No.23: The Gala Event
Emily Foster: One month later. "Lucas, did you see the invitation card that came from Isabella?" I asked Lucas after entering the room where he was busy working on the laptop. It has been one month since his father has disowned him but he didn't let this affect him instead he was working really hard to build his own business empire. Lucas is one hell of an intelligent and smart man who has saved a hasty amount on the side in the forms of shares to start his own business one day but he wasn't getting the chance now that he has, he is planning not to let the opportunity go. The last month together has been nothing but blissful and Lucas has been nothing but a sweetheart to me and Lily. He has made sure to provide Emily and me with the best and even adjusted to live in this middle-class society just fine, he likes being here and surrounded by love and happiness. "I have already seen it, love, but we are not going. Isabelle might have come and apologized for everything but I am still n

Emily Foster: I woke up early in the arms of the man I love and smiled. He has done so much for me, walked away from the luxurious life he was born in, just so that he can be with us in peace and share the love and care only. I haven't returned him with a proper favor for what he has done until now, which is why I have planned a couple of things and really wish that he likes them. I kissed his forehead and slipped out of the bed and his arms as quietly as possible because I didn't want to wake him up. He looked so peaceful in his sleep and I don't want to take that away. He has been working really hard, and barely taking care of himself. I took a quick shower and changed into a sweatshirt and leggings before heading to the kitchen. I decided to cook something for Lucas, something that is his favorite. As I was busy doing that, Lily came out of the room while rubbing her eyes and looked at me with a morning smile. "Good morning, mommy. Are you making breakfast?" Lily asked "I am hun

Emily Foster: "Thank you so much, Sarah, for helping me out. I don't think I would have been able to do this all alone at the last minute. Thank you so much." I thanked my best friend as we looked around my small living room of the apartment decorated with a birthday theme party. I chose silver and black color decoration to make it look masculine, just like my hot and handsome man. I hope now that Lucas likes it. He is the man born with luxuries and throws, celebrated parties at the five-star halls. "You know I am always here to help you out, chica." Sarah said giving me a reassuring hug "Relax, everything is going to be alright. I will go and bring the cake, in the meantime, you go and put on that sexy aqua blue dress to woo Lucas. "I was already planning on doing that, friend. No need to remind me." I winked and walked into the bedroom. I showered, waxed, and changed into the mini aqua blue dress with a sweetheart neckline and umbrella sleeves. I dabbed on a little amount of the m

Emily Foster:"Let's go inside," I tell Lucas after pulling back from the kiss. He smiled and pulled back only to look at me up and down with a smirk on his face."You look so sexy and beautiful, my love. The color suits you a lot." he complimented."But, Isabelle said that you don't like this color," I said feeling disappointed for choosing this color. Lucas placed his index finger down my chin and replied."Isabelle thinks that she knows everything about me but she doesn't know a shit." he tells me "I like the aqua blue color, but just not on her. She looks so bad in it. I am telling you."“OK, Lily. You know you weren’t supposed to bring Lucas home this early. We had an agreement.” I tried to be stern with my daughter.“Wait, what am I missing over here and why are you so dressed up? Is it for the video interview for the job you were telling me about because if you are dressed up for that in this lady, then you are in trouble" Lucas spoke in a dominant voice and I laughed."Don't w

Lucas Bennet:I was sitting on the couch, working on the laptop to earn the amount through my shares and investments. I can work from home and spend a very nice life with Emiyl and Lily over here but I am waiting to open my own company. Architecture has been my passion since I was a teenager but my father didn't let me pursue it. I have got this really great talent of designing the home but I was never given a chance to work on it, but that didn't stop me from studying it. When my father sent to me England to study business, I took an online degree from an open university in Architecture and I am so glad that I did because it is working out for me today and finally, I can live the life I have always wanted to live. I have got a perfectly independent and beautiful woman in my life, a daughter who calls me daddy, and a small but nice cozy apartment with a friendly neighborhood.As I was busy working, the front door to the apartment opened and Emily walked in with the biggest smile on h

Emily Foster:- "Lucas, what do you think of this design? Do you think that it is going to be worth it?" I asked Lucas as I designed the graphics he had asked me to do for his building maps. "They are brilliant, but why don't we go with some colors like chocolate and almond white for the building exterior or maybe grey with a touch of ash grey, my love?" Lucas asked, "Emily, there is something I was hoping to ask you." "Ask away," I replied with a smile and kissed his cheek. "I don't think I can do this alone because my heart and brain won't allow me to do that. I don't feel comfortable getting the credit all alone because it is you who has given me a chance in life, a chance to start up fresh, to build myself, and even got me the first project for my newly founded company, a project that I would love to do with all my heart but can't do as something keeps on bugging me." Lucas spoke and I frowned confused. "What are you talking about, Lucas?" I asked, "Is everything alright?" "Ye

Emily Foster: "What do you want, Daniel?" I demand in anger "By the way, throw those flowers away because they suck and I don't want to dirty my hands by holding them. "What? These flowers used to be your favorite now they suck?" Daniel asked entering the apartment and for a second I flinch in fear, scared that he is going to hurt me but that didn't happen. "Relax, I am not here to hit you, Emily. I am sorry for the last time." Daniel spoke when he realized that I was scared of him but I didn't see the pure guilt on his face. "Oh really? And, what about the times before that? Huh?" I snapped "Tell me why you are really over here and beon your way, Daniel. You are not invited over here." "And, yet you invited me over here because you are still stuck on me. You want to love Lucas but you an't because my heart only wants me, I am the only person you have loved in your life. Lucas said one thing right. He is just a time passer for you." Daniel said, looking around "Where is Lily and a

Emily Foster: "The cops are on the way!" my neighbor from the next door came running inside with the phone on placed on her ear. Daniel panicked as he got up and begin to leave but Lucas didn't let him and locked him inside of the bathroom until the cop arrives. He took off his shirt and put it on me but didn't speak anything. "Lu...Lucas, I...I am," he cut me off with a glare in anger. "Don't.speak.a.word.right.now," he spoke with gritted teeth and went into the room to put on the shirt since he was barechested now after putting on his shirt on me. "I didn't know how it happened, Shirley. I asked Daniel to leave and I thought he did but all of a sudden he was on me, forcing me. I don't know what would have happened if Lucas hasn't arrived right on the time. He would have raped me. I didn't know Shirley that he will do this and now I can see that Lucas hates me too." I tell my neighbor Shirley and burst out crying, shivering as she hugged me and let me cry in her arms. After a few

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
