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

    Emily Foster:"You are kidding me, right? No, that can't be possible That family is literally a royalty and my father always have to beg them to get any contracts and invest with them, but they never give him a chance because they are the world class arrogant jerks considered, filthy rich but arrogant too." Lucas was in pure shock and paced around in the living room after we returned from the polica station and picking up Lily from the school."I beg to differ that. Your father doesn't get the contract because he is the jerk. My father doesn't like jerk and the ones who like to show off their money. Your father falls into my father's dislike category which is why he will never get the contract from the Montique family ever." I said and stood up "You must be hungry. I will go and fix us something to eat.""No, you are not going anywhere because you are getting dolled up, I will get Lily ready and we are going to go and giveyour family a visit. Daniel took everything from you, I will re

    Emily Foster:-"Hey, don't be nervous. Everything is going to be alright. Your family will welcome you with open arms and you will feel like you never left." Lucas tried to comfort me as we landed in California and headed to the Montigue Family in the SUV that Lucas rented. "I am not nervous. I am scared because you don't know my father. He is a very stubborn man. He is a nice caring man but at the same time, he can be really angry and disappointed in his children because he raised us better than this. Lillian and I have let our father down which is unacceptable. I hate myself so much for doing that and now I don't know what to expect from him." I spoke in a broken voice."Just relax! You are thinking too much. Everything is going to be just fine." Lucas said and I nodded and looked out of the window of the car while Lily was sleeping. I can't help but smile as I pass by the beach and all the beauty surrounding California, the place where I was born and raised, it brought the memorie

    Emily Foster/ Emilia Montigue:"Mom, what happened to you?" I asked Mom, forgetting about everything, and ran towards her hurriedly. My mom used to be so full of life, she was healthy and beautiful. But, as I look at her now, I can't help feeling myself as the reason for her condition and hate myself.When my mother realized I was about to burst out crying, she helped me open her arms and hugged me tightly, and how much I missed the feeling of my mother's comfort. There is a place on earth better than being in your mother's arms and getting comforted by her."Mom, I....I...I am so sorry. I am so sorry. I did this to you? Didn't I? I am the one to be blamed, right?" I asked Mom between hiccups as I cried. My mother smiled and wiped my tears away, and shook her head."No...no...no, my beautiful Angel baby. You are not the one to be blamed for this Why would you say that? I am getting old so my health is eventually going to get affected but I will be fine now that you are here." my mothe

    Emily Foster:-"No, Dad. Please....please tell me that you are lying. Please tell me that you are lying." I cried holding on to my chest after hearing this news and Lucas was instantly by my side when my knees were about to give up. Before I could fall, he was holding me onto him and letting me cry in his arms."Yes, it is true. But you would have known about it, only if you were with us, but guess what? You decided to abandon your own family, your own blood by walking out on us. You knew that Lillian shared everything with you, if you were over here, then she would have shared things with you and she wouldn't have died. We repeatedly asked her about what was bothering her but she never said anything." Dad spoke and glared at Lucas with a frown on his face."What happened to Daniel that you are doing with another sucker?" dad asked."Daniel and I got divorced just after two years of our marriage, Dad." I replied "Come on, you can say that. I know you want to say it, so just say that y

    Lucas Bennet:I stood there in shock as I couldn't believe what I just heard and got frozen in my tracks. The fear took over me and I held myself back from trembling. No, this can't be happening, the worst nightmare of my life couldn't be coming back. My dad took care of this. He said he took care of it. He did, right, or didn't he? I looked at Emily and prayed to God, not to snatch her from me. She is my lifeline and if she is snatched away from me, I will die. No, the girl from the past, that died couldn't belong to the Montigue family, and hell, she can't be Lillian's twin."Brother, I love him and I won't let anyone disrespect him. I think you are mistaken because Lucas will never do that, hell he didn't even know about Lillian until yesterday. If he had known and killed Lillian then why would he have brought me over here?" Emily shouted out at her elder brother "Brother, I respect you so much but at the same time, I respect Lucas too, and won't let anyone disrespect him. He has b

    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

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.

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

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

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    Lucas Bennett:-"Oh my God! I am so happy, Daddy!" Lily squeals when we told her that we were married. She was jumping up and down in excitement and threw herself at me. I caught her and embraced her small body in a hug and kissed on her head "You fulfilled the promise you made to me, daddy. You are the best father in the whole world. I love you so much.""And, I love you too, princess. There is nothing in this world that I won't do for you." I tell her and glanced at Lillian who stood a few feet away from me, nervously rubbing her arm. I felt bad for treating her like this, but I didn't have a choice. I needed to make her marry me, because I knew she wouldn't have married me, if I hadn't forced her.I don't want to give her pain, but what about my pain? I am still trying to cope up with the feelings of her betrayal and how she played with me.I want to forget this, but somehow it keeps popping in my mind, bringing the sour memory of the day that was suppose to be the most beautiful d
